I wrote a go-playing program for a Transputer array in the 1980s. It won a 9x9 championship, but not 19x19. For 19x19 the search space is so large that some intelligence wins out over brute force. Transputers were not a good design, in that they had no virtual memory, and inter-processor communication was quite slow. Reliability was also a problem.
