- Radim 11y agoYes, AlphaGo's progress is amazing. I don't think there's any disagreement there :) But I don't think you know much about Go, if you can say Fan Hui is "just" 2 dan professional. What do you reckon the strength difference is between 2p and 9p? Nitpick: while AlphaGo today is certainly stronger than AlphaGo last October, it doesn't follow in any way from the fact that both programs beat their respective opponents. A > B, C > D, D > B, therefore C > A? By "400 ELO", no less?
- habosa 11y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_ranks_and_ratings#Elo-like_rating_systems_as_used_in_Go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_ranks_and_ratings#Elo-like_... You can use that table to calculate the win probability for a 9dan player versus a 2dan player.
- Radim 11y agoI rest my case. For your info: professional ranks do not reflect strength. They are honorary and based (typically) on achievement and seniority.
