In game 3, when Lee Sedol played on the left side, a capture race started.
AlphaGo made his dragon look vulnerable to be captured. Lee Sedol attacked it, and AlphaGo defended it enough so it would not die, but making a huge territory on the bottom part of the board.
When AlphaGo's dragon lived, Lee Sedol realized AlphaGo was ahead in score, and needed to invade the largest AlphaGo's territory in the bottom. This invasion was not feasible, and Lee Sedol was relying on a long shot strategy involving kos. This idea was finally refuted by AlphaGo, leaving him with no feasible ko threats, forcing Lee Sedol to resign.
