The issue wasn't in building a computer powerful enough to play chess, it was in building one fast enough to run sufficiently good chess programs. The bigger feat was in running the thing fast enough that a quick game is viable. I agree that they likely haven't got it good enough yet that a championship-level program can get through a flash game, but I wouldn't be surprised if it played an extremely challenging game.
