Figure 3: Go play before and after the introduction of AlphaGo. A AlphaGo, in its match against Go world champion Lee Sedol, made a highly unusual and strategic 37th move by placing its stone further from the edge, towards the center of the board, deviating from the traditional strategy of securing territory along the periphery during the early stages of the game. With this unconventional move, AlphaGo not only broke with centuries-old Go traditions but also paved the way for its ultimate victory in the match. B (reproduction based on 30 ) Decision quality of professional Go players as evaluated by an algorithm performing at superhuman level. Decision quality significantly increased after Lee Sedol was beaten by AlphaGo on March 15, 2016 (shaded area).
