However, the question was "In what year do you think a computer chess program
will be able to defeat the human world champion in a 20 game 40/2 match?".

Since that did not happen in 1998 (regardless of reason), the question is still
valid, but your answer is not.

So, when DO you predict that a program WILL beat a world champion in a 20 game
40/2 match?
