The title indicates that the event is a commemoration of the AlphaGo - Lee Sedol matchup.
From the article:
And also:릴레이 페어대국은 ‘알파고’팀과 ‘신의한수’팀이 대결하는 단체전이다. 팀원은 30세 이하 선수 6명, 31세 이상 선수 4명, 여자선수 2명, 연구생 선수 2명으로 구성됐다.
"The relay pair mtch is a team competition between an 'AlphaGo' team and a 'Hand of God' team. Team members were composed of 6 players at or under the age of 30, 4 players at or over 31, 2 female players, and 2 yunguseng." (roughly)
The article later says that the two teams play 9 games, and the team to win 5 games wins.이 대회는 릴레이대국과 페어대국을 합친 방식으로 벌어진다. 일단 한 대국은 1~120수까지 두어지는 ‘전반전’과 121수부터 대국종료 때까지 두는 ‘후반전’으로 나뉜다. 전반과 후반은 각기 다른 선수가 출전해야 하는데, 경기 중 팀당 1명씩 선
수를 교체하고 3분간 작전타임(1회)을 가질 수 있다.
"This tournament is a way of combining Relay Go and Pair Go. First, a match is split up into moves 1~120 to constitute the 'first half of the game' and moves 121 to the end of the game to constitute the 'second half of the game'. For each of the respective halves of the game, a different player has to play, and during the match, each team can exchange 1 player each, and can also take one 3-minute timeout."
It's not clear to me from the article what this has to do with AlphaGo, really, except for the team name. Maybe they thought that 'AlphaGo' and 'Hand of God' seemed like good team names. Maybe it's also related to commemoration of the AlphaGo/LeeSedol matchup, I guess.
Another page (http://media.daum.net/m/channel/view/sp ... 9033738260) says this:
So maybe there was some agreement between Google and the Hanguk Kiwon to hold the event, since Google seems to be involved in sponsoring it.구글이 후원하고 한국기원이 주최하는 ‘알파고-이세돌 대국기념 릴레이 페어바둑대전’(사진)이 지난 3·4일 바둑TV 스튜디오에서 포문을 열었다.
"The Google-sponsored, Hanguk Kiwon-hosted 'AlphaGo-LeeSedol Match Commemoration Relay Pair Baduk Match' (picture) began last 3rd/4th from the BadukTV Studio." (roughly)
