Ingo and all, Why you care AlphaGo and DCNN so much? Surely DeepMind team did a big leap but the big problems, such as detecting double-ko and solving complex positions are left unchanged. Also it's well known that to attack these weakpoint of MCTS bots, the opponents have to be strong enough. On 9x9, this was shown in fall 2012. Now this can be applied 19x19 as well.
