If there are Grandmasters that think a program will become world champion then
they don't have a very clear idea what they're talking about.  The game of Chess
itself is between 2 people.

Once a program enters the picture, that's a different story.  Having a human
Chess world champion and having a computer Chess world champion are 2 different
things completely.
