Playing Chess well enough to beat a grandmaster required considerable
efforts by IBM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue - 30 RS6000
processors, and 480 special-purpose VLSI chess-engine chips.
Go may require as much or more computing power to reach shodan levels.
I'm curious, has anyone ever set a supercomputer to the task of playing
Go?

Hello folks,
Really enjoy Gnu Go. I have just three questions:
• What operating system is used for developing Gnu Go?
• What kind of hardware would be needed to boost the development and
strength of Gnu Go? (Don't go too wild with this answer but assume
that you could get more goodies than the Hydra project.)
• Besides hardware, what other resources would be needed to take Gnu
Go to shodan and/or to win the Ing Foundation bounty?
I'm neither wealthy nor a philantrophist. It's just that I might be
able to place a bug in the ear of some folks who might have an
interest in this kind of a project. That's two BIG "mights" but I
wouldn't mind trying.
Best Regards,
