Coming from a complete novice to Go—did Kellin Pelrine beat a nerfed version of KataGo? At the top of the article you mention KataGo did 10 million visits per move, while in the FAR article it says Pelrine beat a version of KataGo that did 100K visits per move.
Nerfed in comparison to the 10-million-visit version, of course, but still strongly superhuman. (Or, well, strongly superhuman unless exploited by someone who knows its weakness, apparently.)
In appendix D2, the authors estimate that their KataGo checkpoint is superhuman at ~128 playouts (in the sense of having higher Elo than the highest ranked human player) and strongly superhuman at 512 playouts (in the sense of having 500+ more Elo than the highest ranked human player). So 100k visits per move is way, way in the superhuman regime.
