Current computers don't play perfect positional chess but they are very strong in tactical chess. Humans understand positional chess better than computers.
How long do you think it will take to build a quantum computer
or optical computer. I think most chess programs play positional
chess more than tactical chess.

Maybe 50 years from now we'll have a quantum computer but i just found a recent scientific american article which says that there's a reason to think that not even a quantum computer could solve the crucial class of NP-complete problems efficiently. Limitations of quantum computers have also been found for games of strategy like chess, as well as breaking cryptographic hash functions. There is a reason to believe that not even a quantum computer could solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time.
