Thanx for this article.. i played some commodore 64 go games, and they were indeed not that strong.. concepts of ‘life’ were too difficult.. only in the early 2000s they became sort of worthy opponent..so i can understand Yamauchi-san..Especially since the average go player in japan is far stronger than i am at the world’s most beautiful game...
Maybe good to the add to the article: in the 2016 the alpha Go team of google did figure the game out, by using neural networks, which allowed the game to learn the game like a human, and recognise parter,s so 20 years after chess, the computer did beat the world champion.
This article makes me a but sadder that Go wasn’t included in the recent release of 51 worldwide games, especially if there is a game using a go bord (the four in a row like gomoku)... there are some go games on the jap e store, but they contain to much jap language for me to judge... so please nintendo.. it would release the game to a wider audience.. it’s easier to learn then Shogi. (Btw there are some great manga go games (hiraku no go ) for the gba which received fan translations, and they inspired the youth to play more go 15 years ago..)
