in thread Looking backwards to GO forwards
One of the bigger issues that that Go, unlike Chess, has a number of identical positions. Not just considering the fact that the board is rotateable (which quadruples the number of "winning positions"), but that you could swap the NE and SW corners and have the same "winning position". Or, rotate a subsection of the board.
The rules and starting position of Chess dictate that a huge majority of the potential board arrangements can never be reached, which is why it's a much simpler game.
