I don't see what this has to do with the fact that I believe that the size of the board is not part of the game of go. For example, if go is not played on a 19x19 board, does that mean that it is no longer go? Of course not. Therefore the size of the board is not "part of the game". The game is scalable, and can be played on any size board, so the fact that it is most popularly played on a 19x19 board which gives a ridiculous branching factor, to me, does not imply that the game of go is more complex than chess, or harder to play, or however you'd like to word it.
