AGA Master Review Series: Game 4; Master vs. Xie Erhao 4p

Published on 3/15/2017

In the latest video in this new series Michael Redmond 9p and Chris Garlock of the AGA E-Journal provide commentary and analysis of the fourth game of Master (AlphaGo). The opening in this game, in which Master plays white against Xie Erhao 4p, resembles the Kobayashi opening.[sgf sgfUrl="http://www.usgo.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/master04_Xie_Erhao.sgf" href="http://www.usgo.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/master04_Xie_Erhao.sgf" class="alignright"] [/sgf] "However," says Redmond, "Master plays the move that we thought to be bad, and goes ahead and makes it work." Check out the sgf file at right for additional commentary. Xie Erhao was born in 1998, and went to the Mlily Cup semifinals in 2012. "He has since been in the top group of Chinese players, and is a player worth watching in the next few years," says Redmond.
