Yes, we all know that computers can be more efficient and smarter than human, but only to the extent of the developers’ coding. It really depends on how you develop your AI. We’ve seen people playing with computers on chess, be it Chinese chess or English chess or Pizza chess, but now it’s the Japanese’s turn.

The Mainichi Daily News is reporting that for the first time ever, a computer has beaten a human Shogi champion, Ichiyo Shimizu, in Tokyo. The game lasted six hours, and the computer reportedly pursued Shimizu “aggressively” from the start. Must be much stressed to play like that for six hours. The governing association of pro Shogi players will now review the game to determine whether it will allow the computer to move onto challenge another player.

What? Winning is winning, be it a robot or a human. Let the robot show ‘em how it’s done.
