X-Message-Number: 8475 Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 22:54:37 -0700 (PDT) From: John K Clark <> Subject: Computers and games -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- When a computer became the world Chess champion a few months ago the apologists for biological brains were saying there were plenty of other games where humans still had a commanding lead, the two most common examples given were Go and Othello. Last week a computer beat Takeshi Murakami, the world Othello champion, 6 games in a row. Any bets on how long Go will hold out?
