No

The problem is not that the program does not play the best move but that the
program does not play the move that is considered by the player as better.

After it prefers another winning move the player starts to complain that
computer have no imagination.

Better algorithm is not going to help and even if computers are going to solve
chess the player may complain that computers have no imagination because they
choose mate in 20 and not mate in 21 that humans prefer.
