Behind this higher-level analysis is an understanding of tactics - a good
player knows not only that a particular play is joseki and another is not, but
knows why; knows how to follow up to gain local advantage; how to give up a
little to gain something more. If this sort of knowledge could be grafted
together with the extensive search capabilities of computer programs,
especially on the multicore architectures now becoming available, dan-level
programs should be in reach.
