JCP, > As a tournament chessplayer, I've always known that computers would be beating the very best humans eventually, but it's just come to pass recently.

Several years ago, I read an article entitled, "Actually, Chess Is Easy." It lays out many other complex gaming problems that is much tougher to accomplish than chess.

It's been a long time since I played a turn-based strategy game like Civilization, but I always hated it when the computer players are given huge unfair resource advantages. It's like giving the computer player all queens in chess. I want to be outmaneuvered, not smothered.

At least in games, all of the rules are known. Even in the game "SimEarth." ;-)
