There is also the length of a game. 21x21 is 22% bigger
in terms of cells. Professional players can work two 
days on a 19x19 game. Making the board bigger would
probably make the game weaker for humans. I presume
the day a computer is world champion, increasing board
size would give the computer even more advantage. (Against
the common search-width based intuition.)
