"It is neither daring nor original to predict that within decades the world's best chess player will be a machine ... Other games such as Go are presently less susceptible to machine analysis, a fact which sometimes provokes incredible displays of intellectual snobbery from Go players who like to denigrate chess as a child's game. When in due course a machine also becomes the top Go player, such people will no doubt move to games like snakes-and-ladders where computers have no detectable advantage." -- David Langford (1979)
