Hello,
It will be difficult for a human to go over 3000 FIDE. Though humans have had
TPR's of over 3000 in individual tournaments, it is exceedingly difficult to do
it on a consistent enough basis to get an actual 3000+ FIDE rating. Humans, even
ones like Fischer, Kasparov or Kramnik have never been within 149 points of 3000
FIDE. It will take someone much better than them to get that last 149. I don't
see that happening for a long, long time.
Computer on the other hand, can always be improved. I think they will get to
3000 in the next 5-10 years and definetely before any human does.
