I think the faster the hardware becomes, the more the "intelligent" software
will excel, and eventually surpass the "fast" software.

At some point the plies a machine can do "will hit a wall" and when this finally
comes to pass, the "intelligent" software  should be as deep a searcher, and the
knowledge should give it the edge.  Of course the node count will still be lower
I believe and I'm not sure how this will effect the outcome with certainty.

Expert opinions?
