This is an interesting question - if Lee Sedol simply replays the game exactly, does he repeat a win?

I think the answer would be most likely not - the monte carlo tree search is randomized so AlphaGo's responses to Sedol may not be exactly the same, requiring Sedol to not be able to repeat the exact same play.

Assuming it's a parallel monte carlo computation i doubt it would make exactly the same moves.
