Here is a cut and paste from ChessWire #57 (Kasparov Chess)

Q: With the increasing power of computers, when do you think an unbeatable
computer chess program will appear?

A: Shay Bushinsky answers:
The term unbeatable is a very tough word indeed. I cannot say that a computer
will ever be unbeatable in any given game in the near future, but I do see a
time - maybe in about three years from now, when a computer will always prevail
in an eight game match against the strongest human.

I always take special note when a chess computer authority discloses their
projections on how chess computers will play in the future. Some follow up
questions ...

- What sort of hardware would this be?
- Is the Junior team working on a massive multi-processor project?
- "eight game match" is chosen. Would the "strongest human" do better in a
longer match?
- Are GM's that you know disclosing more information on how Junior and other
strong programs are playing today? Not looking for exact names and quotes here
as they might want to keep that discussion in private, just general
observations.
