The really high powered chess engines will take 1-2s or more to calculate even on a high powered multi-core box. The more obvious approach is to compute the moves on a 'real' computer elsewhere and just transmit the result via some tiny hardware in a shoe or something. These games were streamed online, so they only needed communication to be one-way (computer to player).
