Well, a human is no closer to having an algorithm to force a win or draw than is a machine. Presumably, if one is found, it'll also run on a computer, guaranteeing the computer a win or a draw. In the meantime the best chess machines will very likely continue to beat the best humans at chess. Their processing speeds aren't declining, ours aren't increasing, and some of the smartest humans are always trying to build ever-more competent AIs. So don't hold your breath waiting for the great human hope at chess.
