AlphaGo-AlphaGo Game 10 (Part 2): An unexpected trade and a 10-group battle

Part 2 of the Game 10 commentary begins at move 113. "At this point, the game looked ready for a peaceful endgame, with White in the lead.

says Michael Redmond 9p in his commentary. "By move 121, however, White has given away about 20 points, an unexpected trade that transforms the game radically. Back in a wildly dangerous middle game, complications that arise from a fight in the center will put ten groups in danger."

"Such a great way to start the weekend after a late Friday night at the Amsterdam Go Club. Rereading my old Go World magazines I see Michael moving to Japan. If he had not done so and trained there, we might not now have these wonderful commentaries. Sometimes the world just makes sense..." Watch for a Q&A video here next week with Redmond in which he responds to selected comments. The Game 10 videos are produced by Michael Wanek and Andrew Jackson. The sgf files were created by Redmond, with editing and transcription by Garlock and Myron Souris.
