When a computer became the world Chess champion a few months ago the
apologists for biological brains were saying there were plenty of other games
where humans still had a commanding lead, the two most common examples given
were Go and Othello. Last week a computer beat Takeshi Murakami, the world
Othello champion, 6 games in a row. Any bets on how long Go will hold out?
