provably impossible on current hardware...?
are you sure?

without assuming anything about the kind of solution?
atleast you are assuming the use of hardware...
(an assumtion I could live with because I wouldn't bet on find the solution
faster by using just a pencil and a sheet of paper :-))

me would like to see the proof for 'provably impossible' as much as I would like
to see the solution for chess
