AlphaGo vs. AlphaGo; Game 27: That kind of a game

Michael Redmond 9p, hosted by the AGA E-Journal's Chris Garlock, continue their popular series with a review of the 27th game of the AlphaGo vs. AlphaGo selfplay games. The 50-game series was published by Deepmind after AlphaGo's victory over world champion Ke Jie 9p in May 2017.

This game features two of the AG 3-3 invasions, a symmetrical shape and then "group after group appear on the upper side, right next to each other, and we're going to have fun counting the number of groups," says Redmond. "So it's going to be that kind of a game." "Simply astounding game," writes GerSHAK. "One of my favourites so far. Incredible detective work from Michael. Thank you so much." Adds Rory Mitchell: "Wow! Just...wow!" These videos are made possible by the support of the American Go Association; please consider joining today! Video produced by Michael Wanek & Andrew Jackson.
