ok, to my understanding there is a tremendous monetary reward for a computer go program that can reliably beat a pro. if it were possible, someone would have claimed this money.
im only ~9 kyu and can dominate just about any computerized go 'player'. the forked nature causes the computer's inability to respond, but ko and larger ko-like sequences add to the forked nature by creating whole new dimensions of forkedness. anyone whose tested (and beaten) many bots can confirm this; once you break a sequence back to where it was - to the same location on the 'tree' the computer cannot respond. chess, peh, lightweight. when a comp can beat a go master, well, thatll be the day.
