For computer,

Grand master (chess), street-corner player (chinese chess, Shogi), beginner
(Go).

Chinese Chess is on 9 by 10 board and Shogi on 9 by 9 board. Both can be
solved the chess way - (I think)

Go is so complicated that computer power is not a major factor. The need
for power grow exponentially for linear increase in strength.

How would people rate the relative strengths of the best programs at
chess, Chinese chess, and go?

I realise that it's not a straightforward task to find a basis for
comparison (including because the processing power made available to
chess programs when playing Kramnik and Kasparov has not [?] been made
available to Chinese chess and go programs), but I'd be interested in
what people think :-)

Another version of the question would be: how do the three games compare
with each other in terms of how difficult it is to tell a computer how
to play strongly.
