Online playing schedule: Every tenth February 29th from 20:00-20:01 (if time permits)
I think the use of the word destroys is a little extreme. But welcome to the world of go anyway. Glad to see you joined us.

Nice clickbait... as DrStraw said, hardly destroyed.

I am actually pretty certain that Lee played overplays on purpose in order to test the AlphaGo and see how strong it actually is.

Tomorrow we will probably see the true Lee Sedol.

I guess tomorrow Lee will win and then for the third game he will actually try to tease with the AlphaGo a little bit more (perhaps even losing) and then he will play the rest of 2 games and defeat the machine.

It is important not just to let Lee play against the bot but actually try to find out how strong it is.

I'd say so. Or someone else for a penchant for odd capitalisation.

He has been banned by IP instead of account, so hopefully that will be the last we hear from him.

Weak, 3/10.

Bet you get bored before the mods do.

[edit: it's not just the capitalization.]
