The game of go is on a complexity level of tic-tac-toe. If tic-tac-toe were played on a 19x19 board it would be complex too. The only thing making go a more difficult game to succeed at is the larger size of it's board. So when I hear go players say that their game is so much harder, it irritates me because it is not. Chess played on a 19x19 board would be just as complex, if not more complex, than go. Do you think tic-tac-toe is innately more complex or more difficult than chess? Of course it's not. It's drastically simpler. However, if it were played on a 1000x1000 board then all of the sudden it would be exponentially more complex than chess, go, or any other game. The game itself is not complex however. Russell
