>we need to double-check all those "strategically brilliant" moves with the newer AI

Thanks for this detailed response/thought. As a layperson, cannot wait for the documentary on KataGo (AlphaGo II).

Probably not going to happen.

DeepBlue was the big chess moment. No one writes or cares about Stockfish vs DeepBlue.

Well, chess players performing opening analysis for their games care. Go players care about KataGo being more readily available and stronger than AlphaGo or AlphaZero. But it's back into the weeds and grind, it's not too interesting a story outside the Chess or Go world.
