I think you are exactly right. Other commenters seem to be misunderstanding you.
It's clear that this is a huge achievement. However, it is different than a computer beating the human chess champion. All this will prove is that a computer is about the same as the best humans, not strictly better than them.
(And, that it is strictly better at timing its buzzer response, which is completely not impressive for a machine to excel at.)
