Thanks, this point is interesting - that's really an argument limiting the strength of AlphaGo. On the other hand, they have super strong people in the team (at the pro level, maybe ? if Aja has pro level...), and one of the guys said he is "quietly confident", which suggests they have strong reasons for believing they have a big chance :-) Good luck AlphaGo :-) I'm grateful because since this happened many more doors are opened for people working with these tools, even if they don't touch games, and this is really useful for the world :-) -- ========================================================= "I will never sign a document with logos in black & white."
