computer-go: Applying Moore's Law to Computer Go

["Clay ChipSmith" <weiqi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Applying Moore's Law to Computer Go raises guarded hope.

(See http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/M/Moores_Law.html for a definition
of Moore's Law).

Computer Go strength grew 1 rank each 20 months
during the last decade.  I reckon this trend will continue
in part for the foreseeable future.  Particularly, let us
speculate growth to continue 1 rank each 18 to 30 months
for another 2 decades.  For example, in 2020 Computer
Go strength could reach 4k* to 1d* (IGS scale).

The profound scaleability of cmos is the foundation
of Moore's Law.  Computer Go had both hardware and
software dependency for strength growth.  Moore's
Law may cover the hardware side of Computer Go
strength dependency.  A combination of programming
efficiency and ever increasing colaboration may cover
the software side of Computer Go strength dependency.
