When it comes to games, exploitation (of tendencies, weaknesses), misdirection, subterfuge and yomi play a far bigger role in winning than actual skill. Humans are much better than computers at all of those. Perhaps a dubious honour, but an advantage nonetheless. We're only really in trouble when the machine learns to reliably replicate the same tactics.

I think that computers managed to beat humans at poker already. (Online poker, which is different from physical games, where of course AI cannot compete)
