[computer-go] Big board

[Don Dailey]

But is it still a good game?   I wasn't asking if it's different, that
is obviously true.  

I can imagine it would be a more difficult game - no safety
in corners, no base to build from.    But does this make the
game more trivial, simple or ruin it in some way?
