Apparently 2 stones is a huge advantage. An estimate is that the computer is roughly 4-600 ELO stronger on an even match.

Also, the human played a strategy tailored to that huge initial advantage. He said that the AI did not handle this particularly well, and played high probability moves instead of trying to lure him into a mistake.

Also, even though this was the best Go engine, it was not running on a supercomputer, and had a relatively limited amount of time per move.

So, this was an important victory for a human, but not a sign that humans are now stronger than AIs at Go.

For those who don’t follow human vs AI Go (I don’t), this is with a 2 stone handicap in favor of the human which is apparently standard.

I'm struggling to believe it's not good enough to beat a mere mortal.
