If you think about this question, it is not, I propose, a simple answer. Computers (Cray, IBM) have beat the best human players the world has to offer. If a computer can reduce a game to a mere exercise in logic, and God has to follow the same deterministic rules of the universe that the computer does, at best, any game would end in a draw. God does not get to fool with the computer. You may think "Who cares?", however, and even though this may be a "how many angels fit on the end of a pin" question, it's interesting to think about. Or, for the philosophers out there, is there some easy explanation for why this doesn't seem, upon reflection, to be an easy "Yes"?
