AlphaGo versus Fan Hui

AlphaGo versus Fan Hui was a five-game Go match between European champion Fan Hui, a 2-dan (out of 9 dan possible) professional, and AlphaGo, a computer Go program developed by DeepMind, held at DeepMind's headquarters in London in October 2015.[1] AlphaGo won all the five games.[2][3] This was the first time a computer Go program had beaten a professional human player on a full-sized board without handicap.[4] This match was not disclosed to the public until 27 January 2016 to coincide with the publication of a paper in the journal Nature[5] describing the algorithms AlphaGo used.[2]

Fan described the program as "very strong and stable, it seems like a wall. ... I know AlphaGo is a computer, but if no one told me, maybe I would think the player was a little strange, but a very strong player, a real person."[6]

Responses

AlphaGo's victory shocked the Go community.[10][11][12] Lee Sedol commented that AlphaGo reached top amateur level in this match, not professional level yet,[13][14] and he could give AlphaGo one or two stones.[15] Ke Jie and Mi Yuting thought that the strength of AlphaGo in this match was equal to that of a candidate for Go professional,[16][17] and extremely close to the professional level,[18] while Shi Yue thought that it already reached the professional level.[19][11] "It was terrifying," said Ke Jie, "that AlphaGo could learn and evolve although its power was still limited then."[20][17][21]

Canadian AI specialist Jonathan Schaeffer, comparing AlphaGo with a "child prodigy" that lacked experience, considered this match "not yet a Deep Blue moment", and said that the real achievement would be "when the program plays a player in the true top echelon".[22]
