From Tic Tac Toe, to Connect 4, onto Checkers, Chess then Go. Checkers has fallen. 24 Piece Tablebases have been created, and wired into an unbeatable game.
And currently we are of the belief that chess, while not solved, on standard laptop computers are of a strength that may be beyond any human play over the board. It may well never be solved because of storage problems. But it sure doesn't seem like a lot of moves from the multi-gigabyte opening books that are available, and the 6 piece tablebases at the end. It is alot, but it doesn't seem alot.
Chess, fortunately, has plenty of room for us to play through, including us class players that weren't going to add much to the theory of the game. But it does make you wonder if Skynet is going to become self-aware anytime now.
