The better the hardware is, the more glad I'll be to see that program losing.

If a human can't see the draw here, he is an idiot. If a program can't see the
draw here, it's no less idiot (at least not an "intelligent agent", but a "dumb
agent"). And that's the case with all programs at this stage. So we -- the
computer chess community -- have still a long way to go, to reach our goal of
proving that computers can play better than humans.
