Of course there are positions that no program can solve in an hour.

The question is what do you mean when you say unsolvable by 2003.

If the positions can be taken from previous years then I think that there should
be no problem to find them.

You can take studies and I suspect that it is possible that no chess playing
program is able to solve one of my studies in an hour and you will have no
problem to find 30 problems composed by humans when no program can solve them in
an hour.
