> Go is acknowledged to be much harder and require actual intelligence to play
No, Go is a much less intelligent[1] game. It has a huge decision tree and requires massive amounts of computation to play, but walking trees and counting is exactly what computers do well and what humans do poorly.
[1] 'Intelligence' here means exactly that which differentiates humans from calculators: the ability to infer new rules from old ones.
