It may seem like artificial intelligence is on a path to rule the world, but there's still a flicker of hope for humans.

While the AI won ten games, signaling that the robot overlords are still on a quest to take over, one of the professional human players still managed to squeak out a single win in his match-up against the computer. This is it, ladies and gentlemen! For the first time in history a pro concedes to an Artificial Intelligence!
