Well, I don't know Go jargon, so I don't understand all that stuff about
stones and minutes.  But honestly, this was inevitable.  In a few years,
computers will be beating human master players on a regular basis,
eventually being nearly unbeatable.  Go programs will go through the same
stages chess programs did.  In part it's computer horsepower, in part it is
better programming strategies.
