The problem I have being wowed by AlphaGo is that games like go and chess are so inscrutable to me that I cannot tell the difference between a game played by two strong players and a game played by a players making random legal moves. I have never won a game of chess in my entire life. Not against any human player or any Commodore 64 chess program on the easiest setting. I don't expect I ever will. I know how the pieces move and that's about it. Watson playing Jeopardy was different. That I could "get", and that impressed me.
