A problem being NP hard doesn't mean that humans are competitive against computers. I'd like to see you solve SAT instances faster than cryptominisat, or do linear optimization better than Gurobi.

We have more of a chance solving complex problems better than AI, than if we were solving "simple" problems like chess, or even, Go.

EDIT: Added rabbit ears for simple.

Those are not simple problems. Generalized Chess is EXPTIME complete, so I'd say it's pretty hard.
