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....

Not to mention the fact human players don't build (search) trees. My theory is that to beat machines, we have to start to think like them :)
They can claim it right now: Hydra won 5.5 to 0.5 against Adams (Nr. 1 in Britain) last week:
Looks like the game Man vs Machine is over.
