Yes, that's the main contribution of the experiment / paper. But prior to AlphaZero the chess community did not even consider investing in MCTS engines -- alpha-beta pruning was thought to be far superior. I'm thinking that we might see classical engines exploring this concept more, and maybe it's even a natural step to go from alpha-beta pruning + iterative deepening to 'best-first' search with MCTS.
