In a sense, yes, but what does it mean to know the rules? You are saying that KataGo both can beat professionals and doesn’t know the rules. That’s not impossible, but it’s pretty weird.
I don’t play Go but IIUC the “loss” that KataGo takes is a winning Go position, in the sense that a human looking at the final board position would say KataGo won, but the rules of this computer competition say that KataGo loses.

It can win under the rule set that professionals use to play Go just fine but those are different rules than the rules this paper is about.
