AlphaGo vs AlphaGo Game 6: Flexibility and a bias for complications

"In this game AlphaGo shows its flexibility when Black abandons a running fight and tries to control the open lower side of the board instead," says Michael Redmond 9p in his game commentary on AlphaGo-AlphaGo Game 6. "In the second fight of the game, White deals with two weak groups masterfully. Finally, Alphago shows its bias for complications when White allows a dangerous ko in the corner."
