AlphaGo Zero vs. Master with Michael Redmond 9p: Game 8

Michael Redmond 9p, hosted by the AGA E-Journal's Chris Garlock, reviews the eighth game of the new AlphaGo Zero vs. Master series. "Zero just doesn't care about its opponent's moyo," says Redmond. "It can do anything inside the moyo. Human pros who have tried to emulate this strategy have just crashed almost every time. Miserably. But Zero has no trouble dealing with its weak groups, so in this game we're going to see a lot of dancing around inside Master's moyo. Plus a really weird endgame." Redmond also has some interesting observations about the similarities -- and differences -- between top human players and AI players.
