It's a useful and meaningful experiment, but it can't be accurately performed at meaningfully fast levels. The human interface is rather like network lag in on-line games. A really fast game could not be very meaningful as a result. A human player can think of his move about 10 times faster than physically making it. At fast time controls your hand-eye coordination is an issue, a younger player with better hand-eye coordination might have a significant advantage over an older but stronger player. - Don > I am sure there exists a time limit > where a random playing program can beat Lee Chang-Ho 50% of the time. > But what is the use of that?
