Abstract
After the success of chess programming, culminating in Deep Blue, many game programers and advocates of Artificial Intelligence thought that the Asian game of Go would provide a new fruitful field for research. It seemed that the game was too complex to be mastered with anything but new methods mimicking human intelligence. In the end, though, a breakthrough came from applying statistical methods.
