I believe I was remembering this from wikipedia:

>In a similar matchup, AlphaGo running on multiple computers won all 500 games played against other Go programs, and 77% of games played against AlphaGo running on a single computer.

But the full version of AlphaGo that runs on thousands of computers is much stronger than that, so I was mistaken.

Still, the fact that the non-distributed version is so strong even without tree search is pretty amazing. It beat all existing Go playing programs a majority of the time. And with algorithmic advances and more training it may eventually catch up to best human players.
