    Lucky for us, when computers finally play chess better than humans
    outright, it's in the nature of humans to create a brand new game that
    we excel and watch computers catch up again ... ;-)

    While chess may soon be yesterday's game, challenges like these will
    probably go on for a long, long time.

    The long-standing challenge of the Turing test still hasn't been
    defeated by computers, workstation-class or otherwise ...
