First of all, I do think you will have to be a very talented programer to write a chess program which is 2400+. Not a genius, but very, very talented. Second of all, just being a talented programmer is not going to be nearly enough. You will also have to become fluent in all the current chess algorithms. Third of all, it will be an "Edison process." He's the one who said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." Of course, this is just my opinion, since I have not written a 2400+ program.
