I know that required speed would be extremely great. But there must be a limit
at which chess would actually be solved, even if impossible to arrange.
 And with the application of enough intelligence, that amount of speed could be
reduced significantly to still get the playing strength to a level that will
never lose any game to any machine or man.
 I'm not speaking about if it is possible to arrange that in existing levels of
hardware in a PC of today.
