The number of years will still count more than the year of release.
Naturally if you compare programs too far apart in time, you might come up with
new problems: there is nothing that can guarantee that Genius 5 will be able to
run on the hardware of 20 years from now.
Also maybe with very fast computers equipped with clever IA programs it will be
possible to teach chess to a computer without programming (just explaining the
rules) and let it play by itself and learning alone. But that's a different
thing.
