Your Move/Readers Write: “Where’s my Redmond AlphaGo video?”

“When will we see the next Michael Redmond/AlphaGo video on YouTube? It’s been more than a month since the last video,” writes George Shutack. “I am huge fan of the video series with Michael Redmond and Chris Garlock,” says Brian Aronson. “I have watched every video, often the night they are posted. I find Michael's analysis substantially more detailed and understandable than any other commentaries that I have seen, and I appreciate Garlock’s occasional questions when Redmond’s analysis goes over my head. Are you two planning to continue your video series?” In a word, yes. Redmond and Garlock took a break from the videos over the holidays to recharge and to focus on their AlphaGo book project, “which is coming along very nicely,” says Garlock. More on that soon, he promises. Redmond also took the opportunity to work on sgf commentaries for both Zero and Master games, as well as some of his own recent tournament games, and the two – along with producer Michael Wanek – have returned to the studio to begin production of the new series, which is expected to launch on Friday, February 2, with a sneak peek update from Redmond and Garlock on January 31. “The response to the videos has been quite amazing,” Redmond said. “I’m really pleased that so many go players are enjoying them and look forward to continuing to explore AlphaGo’s exciting games in the months ahead.” Redmond on AlphaGo Zero vs MasterRedmond on AlphaGo SelfPlayRedmond’s Reviews
