When the AlphaGo hype was in full force, there were discussion about similar matches in Japan and China. DeepZen vs Iyama and a bot by a team/company called Novumind vs Ke Jie. Now the email adress for reports about BetaGo links to exactly this Novumind. So I would consider it as this Chinese superbot attempt. (with a hillariously plagiarized name)
Ingo also tried to look at it in the German Go forum (in German: http://www.dgob.de/yabbse/index.php?topic=6036.msg200586#msg200586 ) and found the following linked.ln account who may be part of this: https://de.linkedin.com/in/ren-wu-944162?trk=pub-pbmap 2016-04-19 17:11 GMT+02:00 Rémi Coulom <remi.cou...@free.fr>: > Anybody knows who is the author of BetaGo?
