The difference between the mathematician and the machine is that the latter is
based on a reproductive approach, while the real mathematician is not limited to
solve differential equations, but can also give creative contribution to the
mathematics discipline with e.g. new complex theorems.
Chess is a kind of restricted mathematics context, the rules are well defined
and the machine has "just" to solve a well defined equation with the help of its
relentless speed and memory, in this field the machine can excel over the human
and the simulation is near to perfect nowadays thus giving the false illusion of
an intelligence behind it.

Memory is the key factor IMHO.
