The poor minimax engine will never be able to solve it in a reasonable time.

I do not expect it to happen in the next 10 years but if it happens later it is
not going to be by the poor minimax engine but by engine that has some function
to detect illogical moves and to prune them so it is not going to need to search
all moves(of course it will need no errors in detecting illogical moves and even
after this process that is hard programming task the tree is too big and memory
too short for the computers of today.
