I might come off as being strongly opinionated on the topic.. but I have been of the opinion for a while that maybe playing go is a problem that can't be solved by computers. I kinda want p != np and for us to be confined by mathematics (sorry).The general taunt from my side is that "A computer can only beat a weak amateur" or "A computer is easily beaten by an amateur child".
This record clearly will make those taunts change. It certainly affected my opinion of the strength of statistical analysis.
