I hope this mail finds you safe and healthy, likely practicing social distancing, possibly working from home, and replacing over-the-board play with online games. If reading about Go may help you through this difficult time, please find some ideas below.
AlphaGo to Zero
From the historic AlphaGo-Lee Sedol showdown in Seoul in March 2016 to the release of AlphaGo Zero in November 2017, Michael Redmond 9P and Chris Garlock have had a front-row seat, commenting, analyzing and reporting as AlphaGo upended thousands of years of human history. Since then they’ve released a comprehensive series of videos and game commentaries analyzing all phases of the AlphaGo phenomenon. In volume 1 of a 4-volume series on AlphaGo, Redmond and Garlock take an in-depth look at the March 2016 showdown between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol 9P, with new insights into the match and each game, links to videos and commentaries, and photos, including some never previously published.
