The Bottom Line

Man Vs. Machine

I'm not much of a chess player, but like Aubrey de Grey, I used to play tournament Othello. Thus, I was interested in the latest man vs. machine chess match.


there is nothing unique about the way that computers defeat humans. The process by which computers beat humans is the same as the process by which superior humans beat inferior humans. Sometimes, the human loser feels like he "blew it," and sometimes he feels like he was "dead out of the opening." Either way, the better player wins. The better player wins by making fewer mistakes, where a mistake is any move that is less than optimal for the given situation.

I wonder whether there have been any instances of human vs. computer Othello matches. Actually, isn't Othello a lot like the old AI game, Life?
