As far as I can tell from watching Redmond's commentary at the time, there were other options for white in the area.
- apetresc 11y agoI was on the other stream; Myungwan Kim and Hajin Lee went way deeper than Redmond typically goes (since they have access to an SGF editor instead of a clumsy demo board, and they aren't performing for the camera as much). They seemed pretty confident in their conclusion that L10 killed white.
- joe_the_user 11y agoJust from Redmond's commentary, killing white in the center is just one of the outcomes that Alphago was impelled to achieve. [for just an arbitrary example] If Alphago killed white in the center but lost the bottom and the top right, it could have still lost. (and Sedol had to acheive multiple objectives also, of course). Sure, maybe Alphago missed a winning move. But the situation was fluid both strategically and tactically, which might have been why that machine chose it's losing move and moreover, why I don't think it was just a matter of the machine failing to find a kill - especially since I think computers have been able to beat humans on pure tesuji for a while now.
