If you carefully read what I wrote, I said we didn't have the computing power at this point to defeat the top Go players. I didn't say never.
This is a minor point, but it wasn't the database that beat Kasparov in the second match. It was brute force number crunching and the developers modified the program during the course of the match which was why the results have been disputed (due to human intervention). As I said earlier, Chess is a tactical game, and these were tactical computations, so has nothing to do with the point I was making about trading.
I didn't say that the actual strategy employed to win at Go should be applied to trading. That would be silly.
The fact that most Westerners have never heard of Go does not relegate it to obscurity. Go is held in very high esteem in China, Korea, and Japan and quite a large amount of funding and time have been dedicated to developing computer programs to try beat the Grand Masters.
Also, I didn't say I held a "mystical" fascination for the game.
Please try not to base your points on statements I didn't make or coloring me as someone holding mystical beliefs.
Cheers

Disliked[/color]20 years ago no computer has been able to beat Kasparov at chess. They have more power now but don't forget that it was not the power who beat him but the computer used the database with the previous games of him. So they devised a clever EA which looked at the old patterns and used them profitable.
Go has nothing special, maybe you like it more and find something mystical about it which can't be put in a formula or, even a formula could be devise, we don't have the computation power right now to beat the best players. We...Ignored
