A computer can outhink a human opponent at Othello (Reversi) 100% of the time, and has a 2:1 shot at beating a chess master. However, we can take comfort in the fact that no computer is ever likely to win against a human in a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos. And that's good because I think life is a lot more like Hungry Hungry Hippos than Chess or Othello.
