Very interesting read, thanks for posting it! I'm not really familiar with that domain, could you tell me whether it's possible that the reason Go bots are not as strong as chess bots (in relation to humans) is simply because chess is a much more popular game that, and more time and effort has gone into making those AI stronger? Go is touted as having a much larger search space than chess, but that probably means that it's harder for humans as well, no?

What a rambling purple-prose article. Why can't it just cut to the point? Why should I care what the people were wearing? Why does that merit a paragraph of description?
