(there have been a few tries to write go software, but it is apparently hopeless at this stage). Chess software has been developed for a very long time. I had a very good chess machine in the early 80s. It had 9 levels, IIRC. I couldn't get past the 5th level. I am an OK amateur, passable player. Since then, I know the chess software has developed considerably, Big Blue and all that. It could simply be that the go software is not quite up to the game yet. I wouldn't be surprised if this changes in the future, just as the chess software became incredibly sophisticated. BTW, I remember hoopla in the 80s about how no machine could ever beat the best human. No longer true. A good software program will incorporate the genius of the best players; it won't be a machine playing at all, but the soul of the developer playing a machine that plays a human.
