I don't think anykind of chess program no matter how well it plays is a big achievement in A.I. Chess is 100% tactical, and one big finite tree. What is amazing is how well humans can play the game, not computers. Chess, Checkers, is simple. Go is harder, but just a bigger Tree. For me the Real A. I. test for computers is not any of those games. Poker is a true test for computer A. I. in terms of games. IMO.
