> if computers ever catch up to humans at Go, could we simply expand the board size a few spaces, thus dramatically increasing the problem space and setting computers back a while? I guess that would depend on what kind of techniques were being used by the computers to solve the games. Yeah. If the computer uses mostly brute force, then making the board bigger would again tilt the balance in favor of human players. But if the program is smarter than that, well, then I don't know.
