AlphaGo Zero vs. AlphaGo Lee: Game 1

Michael Redmond 9p, hosted by the AGA E-Journal's Chris Garlock, reviews the first game of the new AlphaGo Zero vs. AlphaGo Lee series. In this game, we see AlphaGo Lee "playing very human-like moves," says Redmond. Zero "builds a big moyo and then turns it into territory," which Redmond says "doesn't usually happen in these games. Usually a lot of stuff happens before it gets into (making) territory." "Refreshing change of pace with this game," says Rory Mitchell. "Thanks for the wonderful videos," says Ryan Smith. "These are the highlight of my week." Click here for Redmond’s video commentary, and see below for the sgf commentary.
