It is fascinating indeed to try to find how much stronger is AlphaGo
compared to top humans.

Given the fact that it is hard to find the reason why Lee Sedol lost, and
that AlphaGo seems to get mysteriously ahead without a clear reason, tells
me that the difference is definitely more than one stone handicap, maybe 2+
stones, as crazy as it may sound given Lee Sedol's level.

I am pretty sure he will not accept to play with handicap against AlphaGo
though. Maybe "younger wolves" like Ke Jie will though and we will find out.
