How does the ability to learn how to play go translate to being able to defeat human beings in the social arena.

It doesn’t. I was discussing the inability of a weaker intelligence to predict ahead of time what a stronger intelligence will do to achieve its goals. AlphaGo is an example of that in the specific domain of Go gameplay. A general intelligence is generalized, which is why humans can outcompete other agents in so many different domains, just as an AGI could outcompete us in any domain given the opportunity to grow in power.
You challenge them to a game of go and the loser needs to relinquish control, duh /s
