After an 8-month break to work on other projects, Michael Redmond 9p, hosted by the AGA E-Journal’s Chris Garlock, returned to the AGA’s Twitch channel last Sunday to review the 50th game of the AlphaGo vs. AlphaGo selfplay games. Michael and Chris caught up on the latest on COVID in Japan and what Michael’s been up to during the break, and producer Stephen Hu dropped by for a preview of the upcoming U.S. e-Go Congress. Michael then did a very deep dive into the opening and variations for Game 50. Part 1 of the commentary will be released at 6p tonight; Part 2 will be released next week. The 50 game series was published by Deepmind after AlphaGo’s victory over world champion Ke Jie 9p in May 2017. The video was produced by Eva-Dee Beech, Chris Garlock and Stephen Hu.
