AlphaGo vs. Alphago; Game 16: "Unusual and different"

This game features the mini Chinese opening, and “It's a fighting game and gets exciting pretty quick,” says Michael Redmond 9p in his commentary on the AlphaGo self-play game. “It's unusual and different.” "Thanks so much for continuing the AlphaGo 50 Self-Played-Game Series!" said commenter dontbtme. "It has a very unique flavor while still displaying diverse openings, plus the players being equally matched, the tension rarely drops till the very end."
