Another prodigy, Bobby Fischer, essentially gave up championship play because he felt the sport had been usurped by memorized openings.
Essentially, if a machine can win, he wasn't interested in chess. The thrill was gone -- for him.

I believe a variant of chess, Shogi, played in Japan makes machine memory much less a factor. From Wikipedia:
Shogi is similar to chess but has a much larger game tree complexity because of the use of drops [the ability to take captured pieces and redeploy them as your own pieces by dropping them anywhere on the board], greater number of pieces, and larger board size. By comparison, shogi games average about 140 (half-)moves per game (or 70 chess move-pairs) whereas chess games average about 80 moves per game (or 40 chess move-pairs).

He is almost as scary looking as Damien. Pull his hair back and look for the mark.
