  Not with actual hardware, probably, but hardware gets faster and faster. I
expect in 2010 hardware to be so fast that programs will crash _most_ GM's. In
2030 programs _definetly_ will be beyond 3000.
  But maybe we could invent a new game (derived from chess) where branching
factor will be too big to compute even with super-fast machines, and where human
inference capabilities can still rule for some more years...
