Michael Redmond is a long time commentator. He is a 9p professional player that moved to Japan at a very early age. He is a very respected member of the community.

Michael Redmond, the only western-born pro to ever attain a 9-dan professional rank. (He sometimes does commentary for all-human pro tournaments for Japanese TV, in Japanese.) He's talking with Stephanie (Ming Ming) Yin, a 1-dan Chinese pro who currently teaches in New York.

  don't know who to respond to, but i really enjoy the way he thinks. he tends to take over the commentary a little bit, and i'd love to hear her opinion, but the commentary is very respectable. kudos to them,happy to hear he's well respected.

    He was voted best Go commentator on NHK(I believe) a few years ago (and Japan has a decent amount of professional go games on tv).

  Is Stephanie the woman who predicted the famous AlphaGo move against Lee Sedol when playing along on youtube?

    That's Hajin Lee I think, who was also commenting.

      Yes, that was indeed Hajin Lee. She not only predicted it, but then also refuted it (correctly) before it ever appeared on the board.

The AGA has been able to get Michael Redmond to do quick reviews of Master (online AlphaGo) games, I love his review style so it's a great way to spend half an hour. They're all on the AGA YouTube channel. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have made me any stronger... No substitute for tsumego and playing a lot...
