It certainly doesn’t understand Go as a board game humans invented as a stimulating mental exercise that became competitive enough to see whether human programmers could come up with a program that could beat any human. And whatever cultural history went along with playing Go. Certainly chess playing has been used as an analogy in the west for many activities involving strategy. This is something no computer currently understands.

It might not understand the socio-cultural context of the game, but it understands strategy better than us.
Right, so computers are better at us for many tasks, but if we're thinking in terms of general intelligence, the context is pretty important.
