Can Past be Predicted?

This is in continuation with the previous post. Please have a look at it before continuing with this one :). Here, I will be assuming some things. One is that future cannot be predicted exactly, as no one has looked at it before, and according to Heisenberg's theory, it cannot be evaluated until someone has watched it. So, if we cannot predict the future precisely, can we predict the past?

Past events have occurred and have definite values with them. For example, on 1st October at a specific location, a particular event occurred, it cannot be changed. Now, can be find out what happened at past? Here is a nice experiment that I have been giving some thought.

"Given a particular chess game position and the number of moves played, can we precisely determine what moves were played by the players to arrive at the current configuration on the set?"

Give it some thought? What say? Will elaborate on my solution in next post.

Well, if no one has seen the past moves then they cannot be evaluated afterward, can they ?
(Damn funny post but this ! :D ).
