In “Tron: Legacy” (2010) Quorra, a computer program, mentions to Sam that she rarely beats Kevin Flynn at their strategy board game. This game is actually “Go”, a game that is notoriously difficult for computer programs to play well
Despite being flawed and not as iconic as the first one, Tron: Legacy is quite the enjoyable movie, I reccomand it to people that haven't seen it yet and just want an easy watch
Prior to 2015, the best Go programs only managed to reach an intermediate amateur level.
This is because the number of spaces on the board is much larger (over five times the number of spaces on a chess board, 361 vs. 64).
During most of the game, the number of legal moves per turn stays at around 150–250, and rarely falls below 100 (in chess, the average number of moves is 37)
Computers that use a brute-force approach to calculate 4 to 8 moves in advance would take hours to calculate a single play.
