This is impressive. According to the article, the bot has not yet lost. I think at the end of 2017, we may have to say that computers have conquered Go. Interesting that the timing is 20 years after mastering chess.

It's important to note that the games were played on a fast-paced "blitz" time setting where AIs are particularly strong compared to humans. I can already barely follow what is going on on the board, so I'm sure watching slower paced games against pros would be interesting.

  The games were played with 5 seconds per move for the computer and 30 seconds per move for the human. (Where unused time is lost, not saved). I am not sure if slower time settings favoring the human is still true -- AlphaGo works a little bit differently from traditional computer go programs. Earlier versions of AlphaGo against Fan Hui, the slower official matches were 5-0 in favor of AlphaGo, whereas in the unofficial blitz games, Fan Hui managed to win some games.

The series is over with a score of 60-0. You can find all the games at http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4922688212?pn=1 http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4922688212?pn=1 It's chinese but the pictures are universal and the comments don't really matter much. By the way, Google Translate makes a pretty horrible work at translating those pages. I think they need to add some more DeepMind to it :-) To be fair, they probably don't have much training data for the jargon of the game of go or of any other game.

  One example: 구리 (Roman : guli for player Gu Li), is translated to Copper (Literal Word meaning). One area google translate could look at is the name identification from the context and using roman instead of literal translation.

  How to know if Master is white or black in each game?

    After the diagram there is the Sgf file with the moves. PB is player black and PW is player white. AlphaGo is Magister in the first 20 games and Master in the last 40. Two accounts on two different servers.
