Considering it only needs to be powered for a single match it seems very possible to me with over the counter components.

It's a pretty straightforward calculation, which I don't feel like doing right now. But I think Stockfish is going to be pretty power-hungry at the grandmaster level.
What about a wireless receiver instead?

I have some smart light switches in my house that don’t contain batteries and aren’t wired to mains. They’re powered purely by the force of pressing the switch. A bite-powered receiver might not even need batteries. Okay, maybe I’m getting too crazy?

A receiver that size is borderline trivial but extremely risky because the transmission could be detected.
I'd be thinking more "radio" than "computer."
