I would use Hsu's new shrunk chips. I would put one hundred times as many on the very latest RS/6000 with one hundred times as much memory. I would also have a completed 6 piece endgame tablebase. I would have analyzed an opening book of 60 million positions at 200 million nodes each position. This machine would not be defeated by anyone or anything until a more powerful machine came along (and that would take a very long time). By the way, this machine is completely feasible today.
