I think your guess is too pessimistic. I would say 2005 or 2006.
(I remember I wrote in a recent post that Huebner couldn't score more than 2,0
points in the tournament Deep Junior participated. Well, now I'm saying that in
5 years Huebner won't score *ANY* points against the top 2 chess programs. The
reason is obvious: while he's getting older, computers are getting faster and
programs are playing better chess.). Just look at Karpov's play to see the
difference that aging makes... Maybe in 5 or 6 years the top 10 players will
have great difficulty to even get a draw against a top chess program.
