That's not the point, Petri. 9x9 has almost no "silent" or "static" positons which value networks superb humans. On 9x9 boards, Kos, especially double Kos and two step Kos are important but MCTS still works worse for them, for examples. Human professionals are much better at life&death and complex local fights which dominate small board games because they can read deterministically and deeper than current MCTS bots in standard time settings (not blitz). Also it's well known that MCTS is not good at finding narrow and deep paths to win due to "averaging". Ohashi 6p said that he couldn't lose against statiscal algorithms after the event in 2012.
