I'd have to give it some careful thought, but from my games with AlphaGo, I've come to understand it a little bit better, so if AlphaGo wanted to play another match, under the condition that we could play again soon, I'd be interested in playing again.

So yes, Lee Sedol would probably accept a match against AlphaGo again, but under the condition that they could play soon (my guess is that he understands that AlphaGo will continue to get stronger, and it may be a different opponent in a little while).
I wonder how many millions of games played by Ali would be acceptable for him, and one than that more would be one too many

Yes, this is something I can really admire, even more than winning so many games and beating so many other strong players …
