Re: [gnugo-devel] Re: When will computer beat GO world champion?

[Andrew Derrick Balsa]

Dear Toru Omuta,

I recently published 4 Go-playing programs: Wallyplus, Amigoplus, Badukiplus 
and Randyplus. I am also working on a program to solve Go at size 5x5.

I do not expect a Go program to beat a Go world champion, unless some 
breakthrough is achieved in Artificial Intelligence.

So a good date would be about 2025 or later.

Best regards and merry Xmas,

Andrew
