I did not downvote you, FYI.

But I think a computer as a training buddy is indeed a good idea to improve Lee's skill. I don't know how Lee feel right now, he's defeated, there must be an enormous pressure inside of him, but I think he will appreciate the challenge because he needs more challenge! He has played against top players all over the world now for his 20+ years since earning 1 dan rank. Also, I think the computer play against itself and many random moves. Unlike human players, one would expect computers to play unconventionally since the computer can predict so far ahead about the probability of maximizing winning.




I wouldn't say Lee is unchallenged. Ke Jie defeated Lee just before Lee played AlphaGo.

But I would say he might feel like crap having lost his title to a 19 year old, and now losing to a machine all in the same week.


Yes, I am aware of that, but I think he will appreciate more new opponents.
