  • @gustavonarez I think the openings just come from a database, so a pseudo random start position already gives advantage to the human. The amount of different games that can come on the chess board is still larger than the amount of atoms in the universe, I think. Maybe Go has not been tried sufficiently. Computers will likely pass the Turing test the coming decade, while you would think a conversation is way to complicated to automate as well.

  • Interesting. Yes, the best chess engine now (Houdini) can beat the best human player, tho in the japense game of Go this doesn't happen. I wonder what's the 'quality' that a Go master has that can beat a powerful computer in this game.

    Obvioulsy in chess the computers win by brute force on calculations, but Go is so complex that it can't beat the human that way. So if it's not calculation the 'edge' of the human in Go, what is it?
