[math-fun] computer go player kicks human butt

https://gogameguru.com/tag/deepmind-alphago-lee-sedol/ says the Sedol match will be March 8-15 in Seoul; more details to be posted later. There also are some pro players commenting on AlphaGo's games vs Fan Hui, but their commentary is too advanced for me to follow. Go, unlike(?) chess, has the property that if you read a go book that is too advanced for you, it makes virtually no sense at all. (I've done that, and I could not believe how senseless it was. Then later when I was a stronger go player, I re-read one of those books, and, it now was making sense! Amazing!) -- Warren D.
