One chess result stood out for me, namely, just how much easier it was
for AlphaZero to win with white (25 wins, 25 draws, 0 losses) rather
than with black (3 wins, 47 draws, 0 losses).
Maybe we should not give up on the idea of White to play and win in chess!

An interesting juxtaposition.
Silver said "algorithms matter much more than ... computing".
Hassabis estimated they used US$25 million of hardware.

Wow! That's very exciting. I'm glad they didn't completely shelve the
project as they implied they might do after the match with Lee Sedol.
I'm looking forward to seeing some games and "... plays unknown to
humans", as Hassabis states.
Also, I love this comment from Silver, something I have a
Thank you for the suggestions. Both videos were good, but I especially
liked the four specialties one, where he was discussing exactly the kind
of thing I wanted to hear more about. Here is a professional that's
clearly awed by AlphaGo's moves. This is all so very exciting!

Having fallen a bit out of the loop can somebody please update me (us?)
a little on these 60 games. How strong were the opponents? Are
some/most/all actually pros? What was the time control? What is the
Foxwq server?
Thank you very much!

Hi Ingo! Thanks for providing the link. Playing the game on the Web page
worked pretty well for me.
BTW, though I can guess what you mean, I'm intrigued by the expression
"pressing thumbs". I imagine it's close to our "crossing fingers".

Hi Aja,
Now I see.
Also, I've looked at some of the games and the commentary is really very
nice.
Thanks!

P.S. Nice seeing you (again?!) in Leiden!

After following the link and then playing out one of the games in my
browser (Chrome) I don't see the variations. Can anyone help me figure
out how to make them visible?
Thanks.

I found Michael Redmond's commentary very good. Helped a weak player
like me understand what was going on, but occasionally went over my
head, which I'm sure others appreciated. He came across as a class act.

Thought I'd ask you this off line. Are you using Code:Blocks and finding

Thank you very much. Personally I find it much easier to keep up with

people who post on the mailing list to post on your Forum instead/too?

P.S. Happy New Year!

Perhaps I am oversimplifying, but if I understand correctly, MoGo
primarily gets its strength in 9x9 go by improving upon the random
simulations by preferring "good" moves over purely random moves during
the random game. Yet I have two results that seem to indicate that it's
