How true is this? Presumably you could ask AlphaGo to give you a list of the top 10 best moves it considered and perhaps, given a certain move, what it sees the board looking like 10 moves ahead.
If you're watching the commentary, one of the commentators (Michael Redmond) will try to explain the outcome of certain moves and this would seem to be equivalent although I imagine he could explain this in terms of the endgame better.
