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 ...
