Suppose that someone were to write a go-playing program that could not only play go, but could play in the _style_ of a given pro or historical personage.

I think it is worth considering that those humans we wish our programs to emulate also take five, fifteen, or even more minutes to play those wonderful moves ... and take 2 days to play a single game. But I also think that to take 15 minutes per move while playing at the 8 kyu level is less than wonderful.
