Abstract
Ever since a computer beat the world champion at chess, the next target has been a game called Go. Go has very simple rules but a very complex game-play. In addition, it seems that Go favors skills that humans are naturally good at. This report presents the fundamentals of Go. It also describes historical game playing methods. Finally, this report discusses several recent advances in artificial intelligence that have been applied to Go. These include improved search tree methods as well as move generation methods. As computer Go programs advance, there is every reason to believe that within the next 20 to 30 years, a computer will beat the world champion at Go.
