The forum software has broken your link. Here's a tiny url link to that Wikipedia article - link.

Jesus I finally worked it out .When you click on the Wikipedia link go to games and click on Go and all the info comes up.

No problem. The TalkChess software doesn't know that brackets are legal characters in a web link. There are other workarounds - but TinyURL just fixes everything you ever have a problem with web links.

I am watching it. The sound was terrible for the first hour, and then about 15 minutes was repeated.

The commentary is pretty good, though. I had no idea there was an occidental 9-dan available for the broadcast.

Unfortunately I do not see the evaluation of AlphaGo.

For people with no knowledge about go it is the only way to evaluate who is going to win.

I think that it may be interesting also to have statistics about the percentage of moves that AlphaGo pondered correctly.

2-0

Watching the broadcast it was clear the google guy (on stage left) was given the evaulations. When the eval was a clear win he stood up and, tired from hours of focus, wanted to end the broadcast.

So, the eval is available, but not public. I agree with this choice. Showing the eval detracts interest in the game and places focus on the number.

Wow, another "solved" board game!! What have we left now? Tuning Stockfish parameters ad infinitum ?
