That's consistent with the reported 45% Black win rate in AlphaGo's selfplay games.djhbrown wrote:Alfie says all black's first moves are <50%, so either black should resign before placing a stone, or komi is too much.
Since Alfie, when playing with herself - which according to authority is a sin, but according to Woody Allen is engaging with someone he really loves - is happy to continue when she sees her chances are <50%, she is either the Devil or she doesn't think her opponent is God. If the latter, why then do so many people (including her own father) think she is?pookpooi wrote:Unless the opponent is God

We are now seeing some effect of this AlphaGo opening book on professional tournaments, in his interview after winning the Shinyao cup Ke Jie seems to say he was frustrated by his opponent memorising the AG opening lines so tried to go off book so that he could get an advantage in the opening like he did in the old days.Uberdude wrote: I actually have a bit of a concern in that rather encouraging creativity, this could make Go more like chess in terms of having a rigid opening book (this giant variation file, 7 MB sgf), will people want to keep playing openings that AlphaGo said was bad?
My opponent has remembered the variations in the tool throughtly by heart, and this give me headache. Before the publication of the tool, I think that my openning is good and ahead of the time. After the tool is published, the difference in strength of professional players has been shortened, so I can't get a lead in the openning anymore, which gives me some headache. (In the fifth match) I decided that I need to play differently than AlphaGo suggested, so I played moves from another AI, combined with my own thoughts. However I feel that my opening in the fifth match was not successful, and AIs probably would not rate it high.
Please check Ke Jie threadtrickyness wrote: Also has anyone heard about a 2 stone game A.I vs Kie Jie
