Nice point, but that was not what I was getting at. The chess bot can see the whole chess field and "knows" how the pieces moves. The difference with google, is that google does not see the meanings of the words (or the entities that the words refer to), just the words. I don't mean to say that humans are special when it comes to language, just that humans have a lot of information (world knowledge) about words that google cannot pick up just by looking at the words themselves. If we manage to capture that information, then I think a computer can also understand language.
