I don't see this as likely because of the numbers involved.

For a computer to recognize features, it has to loop over them. And there might
as well be an infinite number of features possible on a chess board, so that
loop is going to take a while.

The human brain is sloppy and bad at this task, so maybe there's some way to do
sloppy and bad learning that does better than what we have now, but I wouldn't
know how to go about that.
