Shin Jinseo vs KataGo: Ten Years After AlphaGo
Humanity strikes back?
Ten years have passed since the famous match between Lee Sedol and AlphaGo established AI’s dominance in the world of Go. In 2026, another official human-versus-AI match was held, this time between the world’s strongest professional player, Shin Jinseo, and KataGo. The match was intended to show that, with the help of AI, humans can learn to play better too.
Since the AlphaGo era, AI has grown even stronger, but human players have also learned an enormous amount. Shin Jinseo was the perfect player for such a match — AI has had a major influence on his approach to the game. Still, a handicap was necessary. Since humans can no longer compete with top AI on even terms, Shin Jinseo received a two-stone handicap, along with a time advantage designed to give both sides a roughly equal chance.
Let’s review the match together and find out whether humans are slowly closing the gap with top-level AI.
Suitable for: 11 kyu – 9 dan. This is a good follow-up if you enjoyed the AlphaGo course

This course is good, but it could be perfected.
Utile Thanks Vadim for this enjoyable course. A pleasure to see SJS playing against AI
UtileNice course. Vadim does a great job showing things players at different levels can learn from these difficult computer games, and gives some good advice on how to play handicap games in the meantime as well.
UtileNice course!
I would like to see Shin Jinseo played KataGo with 19 points reversed komi, instead of two stones handicap. My AI says 2 stones handicap with 0,5 komi equals 19 reversed komi.UtileThe AI is stronger than humans not because it is stronger at calculation but because it plays real Go free Go against the board it does not rely on proverbs or rules or a human concept of this is wrong this is right you can call it the style of truth and honestly this style is much more enjoyable and far more creative than humans even in the deepest fights on the board and that is why I love it
UtileGreat insight into handicap go, as well as the games being interesting to analyse.
