Go up one level in this thread


Not a chance.  These are programs that I give 9 stone handicaps and WIN.  Go
isn't like chess where a Computer will excel in spotting tactics, since tactics
have a smaller componet to the game then in Chess.  While very important,
positional understanding is MUCH more important.

Computers are just too weak positionally, and even tactically in Go, they don't
stand a chance against a player of 12 kyu strength IMO.
