The computer found its own wisdom you need to do the same. Both the human and the machine were allowed to memorize anything they wanted, and if the human player had in addition wanted to to bring along "GO For Dummies" or any other book about how to play the game I doubt anybody would object. Raw databases of old games are available to anyone but by themselves are of no help because you're never going to see the same game twice, there are just too many moves. Instead the old games must be analyzed to tease out strategies that are good given the circumstances. And face it, computer was better than the human at doing that.
