Interesting - but no info on the size of the Knowledge database.

You mean truly one chip, or with off-chip database storage ?

Once they are able to claim to better the best human players, then the goals can move to :

** First Computer cluster smaller/lighter than its human opponent to win :)

** First Computer cluster drawing less power than its human opponent ( ~100W? ) to win - that will be harder still....
