I am not sure.

You assume that somebody with the talent to write a strong chess program has
also always the talent to earn money from other programming jobs.

I am not sure about it.

The knowledge that is needed about programming to write strong chess program is
limited(for example you do not need to know nothing about graphics) and a
programmer of strong chess program may not be the best choice for different
programming tasks.
