19-year-old Chinese Go player, Ke Jie, says he would relish the opportunity to pit his skills against Google's AlphaGo computer sometime soon.

Ke, the No.1 Go Chess player in China, says he believes his playing style is very similar to the computer program, and has estimated his chances of winning as being around 60 percent.

Google's computer program AlphaGo has defeated human world champion Lee Sedol of South Korea in the first two games out of a total of five.

Lee's defeat on Wednesday was the first time that Artificial Intelligence (AI) had beaten a human world champion at the popular Chinese game, generally regarded as the last bastion of human supremacy over computers.

The five-game match continues through till Tuesday.

In his last ten matches with South Korea's Lee Sedol, China's Ke Jie clinched 8 victories.
