I do not think that anyone can create a program in under 24 hours that plays a complete game of chess even if the task is only to choose a random move. Maybe you are right about professional programmers but there are many people who do not know to create computer programs and many people are going to fail in the task of creating a chess program that play chess in under 24 hours even if they know something about programs but did only some simple programs of not more than some hundreds of lines.
