Humans can train in the game and get an experience in the same way that they did in chess. 2)It is known that computers do better result in simpler games when the number of legal positions is smaller like backgammon or checkers 8*8. 3)Humans know to prune illogical lines better than programs and the number of illogical lines in 15*15 game is very big. I expect for these reason that computers will lose complex games against humans. Uri
