Move 37 was baffling in the moment that it was played. It was a unique product of the alien computer intelligence that successfully undermined its human opponent. Move 37 is discussed with hype and adoration by AI enthusiasts today. Much less discussed is Move 78. Lee Sedol had been put on his back heels by losing three games in a row to the AI, effectively losing the tournament. The new intelligence he was up against forced him to think differently about how he played and marshal his own prowess differently. Another Go champion described Lee’s Move 78 as a "Divine Move" ("신의 한 수" in Korean). A Divine Move is one of career-defining brilliance that happens rarely for even the best players, if it happens at all. Being well matched by the AI in a field he was already world-class in made Lee even better at what he did, producing an innovative move that he is revered for among his peers.
