I liken Go to a real-time strategy game. Essentially a game of StarCraft 2 can have an infinite set of 'moves'. When an player wins at StarCraft 2, you can argue that he is wise too.

Right?




Just as much as you can argue that for Go. Interestingly enough, the top chess player Magnus Carlsen insists that he's not particularly bright.


Starcraft 2 is less than a decade old. Go goes back three millenia.


Yuioup said that the winning player can be called wise, not the game it self. I doubt there are any three millenia old Go players around, but I can be wrong.


I hope you're wrong.


Depends ... I wouldn't mind Laotse being still around somewhere and loughing hard about things going on ...
