I don't see it as a problem if an AI can beat humans at Ortho-Chess. What DOES matter in this area is that Chess doesn't get so optimized in its play that it leads to excessive amounts of draws, and failure of players to creatively beat their opponents, limiting the drama. Also, if a game is feeling overly played out, it begins to lose the community it is supposed to serve. If people raise up the game as some sort of infalliable god, and refuse to look at how it can better serve, then the game has a problem.
