So that's really really true this time? Any information about what he intends to do after retirement?

When it's Lee Sedol, who knows whether it's "really really true"? But I think it's more likely now. IIRC, his wife and daughter are (were?) in Canada. Maybe he'll be able to spend more time with his family, now?

Actually, I don't know if they're still in Canada or not. But either way, I'd imagine he can spend more time with family after retirement.

Looks like he actually retired today.
Right, but for how long? :-)

A nice overview of Lee Sedol's career.

He's playing another AI in december (best of 3) and then would like to take a year off.

Lee Sedol will take 2 stones handicap against the AI, that will be very interesting to watch!
