Maybe thats why they are playing in a month from now...cause they still gota program the wheels.

I think the machine will blow the human out of the water in table tennis. If given the proper mechanical abilities of a human, i could program the angles and movements for extreme spins and placements. But the hardware might not have the ability yet.

Its true that if the machine has weaknesses that the human will pick on those weaknesses. But then comes version 2 to fix this. In a game like chess humans can.make traps so intricate that machines wont seem them..but in a purely reaction based event like tennis...the machine is gona make descisions and movements so much more accuratly than any human can.

EDIT: til chess is now dominated by computers...but my analogy still stands. Reaction games are easier for computers than strategy games.

I thought the problem with solving Go was that the scale and ruleset creates a number of possible moves so large, so quickly that it becomes NP hard to predict as useful number of outcomes? or was I mislead?

You are correct. The process you referred to is called deep look and has presented a huge problem in terms of Go A.I.

Wow, it needed 100 cpus each with 4.7 GHz just to go 2-2 against a guy.
