...But I am only able to play throught game 1. When I try to choose another, a new screen appears with game 1. {shrug}

Clicking inside the Choose Game text-box activates the dropdown, and the different games populate just fine for me. (using Chrome on a Mac)

Also, how do we uniquely refer to these games?

Wouahhh already all games are available . Now I have an addiction. I want to see more games. Let's sign a petition hahaha

I wonder why these games feel so much more "bot-like" than the mostly-human feeling of the moves AlphaGo played against Ke Jie and Lee Sedol. The way that the players jump from area to area in the first game, for example, is reminiscent of the MCTS bots of yore.

Without commentary, I can't seem to find any interest in these games. I'm probably too weak.

I feel sure that we are going to get some pro commentary before long.

Looking at these games, I can see why Fan Hui talked about AlphaGo's philosophy being different from that of humans. And that is true of the approach strictly in terms of (not well defined) probability of winning instead of territory (points). But human pros do not think strictly in terms of territory, either. As Takagawa said, you make territory through fighting. (You can make territory in a plodding fashion, but then you lose.)

As for jumping around, that may be explained in human terms. In general, adding stones to a region reduces the local temperature (how many points a play gains there). So in general it makes sense to switch to a different region after a few plays. (OC, there are many exceptions to that. ) Around 20 years ago, in response to a request by John Fairbairn made to the go community at large, I coined the "proverb", "Tenuki is always an option." As the AlphaGo self play games show, it is, isn't it?

Eary in the last century Kitani and Go Seigen ushered in the New Fuseki, which stressed center play. Perhaps AlphaGo will usher in a kind of New New Fuseki, or Ultra-Modern Fuseki. Stay tuned.

In his commentary on AlphaGo-Ke Jie game 3, Ryan Li said the one proverb that AlphaGo consistently follows is, "If there is no local play that will allow you to gain an advantage, tenuki." (The wording may not be exactly correct - I can't find the line in his video right now.) Some of these games show that in the extreme.
