Well, that happened at the end of last year. The super program Stockfish played against Alphazero, the computer developed by Google. While Stockfish analysed millions of possibilities and scenarios, Alphazero considered the most possible moves (unrational moves are unlikely, such as moving a pawn from the endgame without some reason) and against them it deepened possibilities.
They were programmed to look for different algorithms in the same game. In the end Alphazero won 28 out of 100 times. The rest were draws.
The most incredible thing is that it took Alphazero just four hours to learn chess.

Simply that one would win and the other would lose, or else they would draw. That experience has already been carried out. There is even, if I remember correctly (I'm not a chess expert), a championship in which only machines play.
