The chess example is not that strong: "the best computer" or more precisely the software that beats humans since 1990s was actually specifically designed to beat chess. That was the case until AlphaZero did the same in 2017 for the whole class of turn based games.

To add to that, it is quite possible that AlphaZero is already a general intelligence. Specifically, it may be that given some robotic manipulation, and some goals in real world, and lots and lots of tries (tens or hundreds of millions) it may beat an average human in "life".
