My opinion is that your 2005 from a different thread is closer to the time when
software/PC's can win a match from the World Champ.  I think in 8 years we will
see total dominance by software/PC's, but the GM's will still win a game from
time to time.

It is just a function of sw improvement and hw speedup.

Just my 2 cents.
