Even without the neural net system, AI is able to beat most amateurs, and predict moves experts would make.


I'm not sure that's correct. MCTS has well known weaknesses, and isn't even a predictive algorithm. MCTS on it's own couldn't get anywhere near beating the top Go champion, that requires deepminds neural networks.

The best Go program before AlphaGo was CrazyStone, ranked at 5-dan ("high amateur" range).


There's a massive skill difference between ameatures and professionals. It couldn't even beat the top ameatures.


Which is why I said the intuition was amateur-pro level. I did not say it could beat every amateur-pro in the world.
