That's a great point. I think all the professionals are eager to play against AlphaGo, and they're even willing to pay to do so. With the game of Go, two players with drastic different abilities can still play together with the handicap system. The weaker players would get more stones already placed on the board at the beginning. This means if AlphaGo is 9dan professional level, it can give several handicap to advanced amateur players and still make it fun. Also, there are lots of weaker Go AI that beginners and intermediate players can play against already.
