But the whole point is that that's obviously not the case cos no computer can get anywhere near a good human player in Go. Number crunching isn't the solution, the computer apparently needs to "think" in a different way and no-one's figured out how to make it do it yet"In Go it's so much more unclear, making the computer's ability to methodically do hundreds of claculations a second, way more valuable."
From wikipedia:
Go poses a daunting challenge to computer programmers. While the strongest computer chess programs can defeat the best human players (for example, the Deep Fritz program, running on a laptop, beat reigning world champion Vladimir Kramnik without losing a single game in 2006), the best Go programs only manage to reach an intermediate amateur level. On the small 9×9 board, the computer fares better, and some programs now win a fraction of their 9x9 games against professional players . Human players generally achieve an intermediate amateur level by studying and playing regularly for a few years. Many in the field of artificial intelligence consider Go to require more elements that mimic human thought than chess.
