DeepMind has had its eye on this match since even before AlphaGo beat Lee. One, “Pair Go”, will see two human Go professionals play against each other, each partnered up with their own iteration of AlphaGo. Advanced Chess players work with a chess computer alongside them, using the machines as consultants to improve their play. The best Advanced Chess players tend to be better than both the best human players and the best solo chess machines, suggesting that human ingenuity still has something to add to the brute-force approach of the chess machines. Are the best players and the best AIs already near to perfection, or is there a vast amount of improvement still possible?
