Shogi programs only match up in the standard 9x9 board. They fall far behind the moment you introduce a larger variant.
As to go, computers have a hard to time with 9x9 and a handicap. 13x13, 19x19, or larger is even further out of the question. The fundamental issue is that the problem must be solved entirely with heuristics. We have trouble modeling cat brains. We are a long way away from human-level pattern recognition heuristics.
- hyperpape 13y agoYour knowledge of the situation in Go seems out of date. On the 9x9 board, bots are perhaps equal with professionals, or just behind them. On 19x19, they regularly win with 4 stone handicaps. See: http://www.computer-go.info/h-c/index.html http://www.computer-go.info/h-c/index.html
- RBerenguel 13y agoBots are still somewhat behind pros (last February pros scored 4-0 agains bots in 9x9... I love 9x9 so I try to keep up with this :) )
- rtpg 13y ago4 stone is a pretty big handicap (though I can't win against pros with 9 so I guess there's that :))
