You ask a very easy question.
Programming complexity is depending upon how difficult it is
to beat the competition of course. There is no other measure
than that.
There has been put so much commercial effort in chess
that beating the competition in chess is nearly impossible.
So that makes the ranking very easy:
- Chess
- Go (at a huge distance from chess, these guys don't even know,
and i am at their list, the difference between a program
that's written by a human and a selflearning network; of course
with exception of the commercial guys)
- Xiangqi (also commercial interests there; but their search is still poor)
- Shogi (also some commercial interest in it, but so far the selective
approaches i read for it are even below Uri Blass level)
- Othello (only amateurs are busy there)
