Michael Redmond 9p, hosted by the AGA E-Journal’s Chris Garlock, reviews the 41st game of the amazing AlphaGo vs. AlphaGo selfplay games (sgf posted here: https://www.usgo.org/news/?p=214479). The 50-game series was published by Deepmind after AlphaGo's victory over world champion Ke Jie 9p in May 2017.
In this commentary, Redmond talks about a special video his mother made about the first time a young Michael met Iwamoto, “who did so much to promote go overseas.”
Today’s game starts with the Chinese Opening, “which is a little unusual for AI’s, we’ll see a few 3-3 invasions and of course some exciting fighting involving some groups where you’ll be wondering if they’re dead or alive.”
Also, tune in this Sunday on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/usgoweb at 7p EDT for another live commentary, this one on the Ichiriki-Shibano game from Pandanet’s recent “Golden Panda Cup”
