   Maybe its more effort than you think.
   First you want the best play possible which implies long time controls.
   I guess that is 1.5 hours per side to play the whole game which averages
   to 1.5 minutes per move.
   Well that would be 180,000 hours for 60,000 games.
   That is 20.5 years.

    That looks like a long time, so what about dropping the quality of the
   search. Lets drop the time per move to 9 seconds. That's a 10x drop.
   So, you are still at 2.5 years to complete.

    The math seems to be working against you on this.
