I beat the blind cripple in a boxing match - easily! I COULD have beaten Anthony Joshua, but I simply CHOSE to fight the blind cripple. But trust me, if my opponent had been Anthony Joshua, I would STILL have won. And you know this must be true, because my friend says so.

It would be interesting to see AlphaZero against a grandmaster under tournament conditions. There was nothing in its play to suggest that it could outplay a GM. And Stockfish (under its crippled conditions) made mistakes that a club player could have exploited.
