I had asked Chris to print the correction, and he was glad to do so.
Now I am trying to get the article on the AGA web site updated. I have
already seen a bunch of things on the internet that link to it and the
mistaken comment (9 stones in a year, computer superiority real soon)
is getting repeated a huge number of times.
Cheers,
David

Just in case anyone hadn't seen the correction yet...
CORRECTION: The EJ misquoted David Doshay in our 8/7 report on
"Computer Beats Pro At U.S. Go Congress." "What I said is that
computer programs have improved 7 to 9 stones in the last few years,
[not "We've improved nine stones in just a year and I suspect the
next nine will fall quickly now," as the EJ reported]" Doshay
writes, "so the next nine stones will surely happen in a decade. My
meaning was and is that computers will be playing even games with
Pro players within a decade. I surely did not mean to predict that
"it would be over" (unbeatable computer) in that time. I certainly
did not expect this when I was on my way to the Congress." We
apologize for the error.
