"Invisible" available online: "Invisible: The Games of AlphaGo" is now available online. ‘It’s a fascinating account," says John Power, author of "Invincible: The Games of Shūsaku." "I strongly recommend Invisible to any go player interested in the present and the future of go."
Yuan Zhou's "AlphaGo vs. Ke Jie 9P": Also just out is Yuan Zhou's "AlphaGo vs. Ke Jie 9P" from Slate & Shell and available through Amazon. Despite losing all three games, Ke Jie did better than any one else had, and Yuan Zhou gives a thorough and insightful analysis of the match and reflects on the significance of AlphaGo for the go community. 

Go World/AGJ issues available: You recently published a letter about the donation of go books to libraries (which I have already done) but I have heard nothing about libraries housing go magazines," writes Joel Sanet. "I have a complete set of Go Worlds and the print version of the American Go Journal (there might be one issue missing) that I am willing to donate for the cost of reimbursement of  shipping which I estimate to be in the range of $40 each. Any library that is interested can contact me at yosdan30@comcast.net. BTW I have not see the NY Times crossword puzzle reported by Roy Schmidt but I suspect the answer to the clue "Travel edition of a classic board game?" is "on the go go." photo: a particularly intimidating couple at the Pair Go Tournament at the recent U.S. Go Congress; photo by Eric Wainwright
