And that is a shame.    I strongly feel that even when humans are clearly
surpassed,  we are just getting started.  Chess is an incredibly deep game
and the very best humans are very weak compared to the "ultimate player."

Just my thoughts.  All of this  is even more true of Go.  There exists
(in  principle) a  future GO  player than  can make  the very  best Go
player (of today or yesterday) look like a baby.
