Yeah, that's a good assumption to make...but first of all you must consider that
200 plies is "impossible" and also the GM will not "always" lose either. For all
practical purposes, yes some supernatural force that could compute 200 plies
would win in as many games as you could play, but think about it...even a monkey
(who knows what a legal move is) playing random moves would beat it once if you
played enough games. It would probably take some outrageous number, but then
again 200 plies is an outrageous number.
