I had never heard of that. A Google search turned up this list of interesting

Dear Bob Hearn,
it is not what you have been looking for, but nevertheless
I want to ask you if the title of your talk
"Games Computers Can't Play" is still up-to-date.
I would accept something like
"Games Computers Could not play well before 2003",
but Monte Carlo has changed our world.
Dear Ingo,
First, the title is deliberately provocative. Also, though, the talk is
not just about go: some of it is about formally undecidable games, that
computers provably can't play well (and of course, that humans can't
either!). Surprisingly, some of these games can be played with finite
physical resources (unlike, say, an infinite Turing-machine tape). One
real game that is a good candidate for being undecidable (though it
hasn't been proven) is Rengo Kriegspiel: team blindfold go. I've played
this a few times.
