Humans don't have much experience with 9x9 go. In such tight confines, there is
a premium for precise reading; there is little margin for error. It is much
harder to escape, and harder to trade territory for influence. There is also,
as Dave Fotland observed, little established literature on the 9x9 game. We
take for granted a great deal of knowledge about fuseki and joseki and opening
theory on the 19x19 board; there is no equivalent store of knowledge about 9x9
openings.
That said, if humans were to invest the effort in the 9x9 game, the standard of
play would rapidly increase.
