OT: A computer beats a GO champion

Without a lot of thought, I'd say that the difference between 9 dan professional and 2 dan professional is about the same as the difference between a top 10 Giant and an average intermediate player in backgammon. So, imagine the headline, "Computer beats average intermediate backgammon player!" There's a long way to go.

I'll mention in passing that there are separate ranking systems that sound the same for amateurs and professionals in Go (and in Shogi for that matter.) You have to be careful not to confuse 2 dan amateur with 2 dan professional for example. The Go player who was beaten by a computer was professional.
