The policy network (intuition) is already high dan level, which is stronger than many strong amateurs. That's right, with zero reading it's already something like 5d level.
The other part that increases its strength is the positional evaluation through the value network. It's ALSO intuition based on which points are going to belong to which player.
Those two combined give it a high dan level, maybe around 8d.
Only the last component (Monte-Carlo tree search) is not quite as similar because it uses random game roll-outs to ALSO give an evaluation.
AFAIK, value network evaluation is an overestimate of territories, while the MCTS is an underestimate so using both it's stronger than professional level.
The levels I put is the version that played Lee Sedol. The version that went 50-0 on the Internet is clearly stronger and might already be professional level without MCTS.
