This is *way* too pessimistic, IMHO. Writing a top engine is of course an enormous task, but creating something that plays legal and mostly sensible moves is only a moderatly complicated task. If you know the basic theory when you begin, writing a simple engine should take something like a couple of months in a low-level programming language like C or Java, and a couple of weeks in a high-level language like Lisp.
