There was a great moment in the AGA stream for game 2 when alphago played a move 15 (Q5) and Kim said that pros don't play that move. Jackson asked, "why?" Kim sat back, took a deep breath and said.... "I am not sure." It was clear that he was going to go back and rethink it. There was a possible reason and he played through the sequence, but he started to second guess the commonly held wisdom."
This is why we play, and this is why we will continue to play long after any hope of a human champion beating the machines is dead. It's not about winning, it's about deeper understanding of the game.
