I doubt it. I think it is a good money that top programmers are going to be happy to earn from their programs. I doubt if there is one chess programmer who expect to earn 1.6M$ in the future from computer chess and remember that you need to divide money that you get in the future because 10,000$ in 2010 is worse than 10,000$ of today.
