human chess players stand no chance against modern computers

even 1970s computers could only be beaten back then by the best of the best

today you can put that amount of computing power in a cheap plastic toy for pennies

In the 1980s I read an article in Chess Life magazine that predicted the day when every possible move and countermove will be worked out by computers and there would be nothing left to discover in chess.

The article lamented that when that happens we will lose a very good friend (chess).

I suppose if we’re not there yet, we’re approaching that time.
