Breakthrough: FineArt beating Ke Jie with 2 Handicap Stones

Hello in the round,

it seems that Chinese company Tencent with their
Go project FineArt has achieved a fantastic breakthrough:
According to the website of the International Go Federation
the new version of FineArt has played 34 handicap games
against pro players, winning 30 of the games. Special
achievement: One of the human opponents was human superstar
Ke Jie (9p). He resigned his game after 77 moves.

Ingo.

PS. Perhaps Tencent is willing to give Deepmind a match on equal
terms (between FineArt and AlphaGo), when AlphaGo also has
beaten Ke Jie (or some other top player) with handicap stones.

PS-2. It might be interesting to see if a team FineArt/DeepZen/AlphaGo 
would beat a top human trio (like KeJie/LeeSedol/Iyama) in "RenGo", 
giving handicap.
