A Game a Computer Cannot Beat

Chess? Big deal - the moves are limited to what's possible, and as any pro poker will tell you, poker is all about the odds, so ideal for a computer. Bridge? Pathetically stupid game that a clever 7-year-old can win at.

There is a game I seriously doubt a computer's ability to win: Spades, the four-player version.

If you don't know the game well, you probably won't get it, but I'm supremely confident that with one of my two regular partners, a pair of computers* could not beat us.

The problem for a computer is that it will rely on logic, and you can win at spades by playing illogically. I don't see any way you could build a Deep Blue to cope with the infinite ability of the human brain to think outside the framework of logical conclusions.

*They cannot communicate with each other during play, just as the human players can't.
