computer-go: RE: beat 9d before 2010

[Sai To Wang <swang@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that a computer 'in current difinition' can play any game with a
finite
set of clear rules and finite state better than human. The only problem is
how
much time they need for brute-force solving the game (where they are better
than human).

Without a technology breakthrough (in computer), is difficult to say a
computer can beat a pro
in 10 years.
