Hi Aja, congratulations again to the fantastic achievement of your team!
One bunch of management questions: * How many games will be played in March between Alpha-Go and Lee Sedol? * Will it be just "X games" or some "best of X" format? * What will be the thinking times? * Will there be rest days between the rounds? * Would it be ok for DeepMind, when Lee Sedol takes one or two coaches from the computer-go scene?

This, coupled with the fact that there is no new mechanism to deal with these (unless the value network has truly astonishing generalization capacity, but it just remembering common tsumego and joseki shapes is imho a simpler explanation), leads me to believe that it remains a weakness. If you check Myungwan Kim 9p's comments in the video, in the 4th game there was a semeai that AlphaGo read out at top side. See the game at http://britgo.org/deepmind2016/summary[http://britgo.org/deepmind2016/summary] Unfortunately before the Lee match I'm not allowed to answer some of the interesting questions raised in this thread, or mention how strong is AlphaGo now. But for now what I can say is that in the nature paper (about 5 months ago) AlphaGo reached nearly 100% win rate against the latest commercial versions of Crazy Stone and Zen, and AlphaGo still did well even on 4 handicap stones, suggesting AlphaGo may do much better in tactical situations than Crazy Stone and Zen. I understand you bet on Lee but I hope you will enjoy watching the match. :) Aja Of course there are other possibilities, like AlphaGo always steering the game in a calmer direction due to some emergent property. But sometimes, you just have to go for the fight, don't you?
