  Go on small boards, such as 9x9, is hard for computers as well.  Heck, even
I'd beat a Deep Blue caliber go-computer on it any day :-)

  It does appear, in case of Shogi for example, that a chess-like game becomes
harder for computers if it has a larger branching factor (relative to human
experts).  I don't know whether anyone would have the patience to finish a match
of 19x19 checkers...
