Sibicky to do AlphaGo – Lee Sedol Pregame Lesson

In advance of the 5th game of the Google AlphaGo – Lee Sedol match,  Nick Sibicky will devote his Monday March 14 SDK Class to the first 4 games of the match.  (AlphaGo won the first 3 games, while Sedol won the last one.)  We look forward to Nick’s extra-special lesson at 6:30 pm.  Then we will watch live broadcasts of the 5th game, starting at 9 pm.  Dennis Wheeler will be the host for this late night event.  Two YouTube channels will have the game.  The Google Deepmind Channel will have commentary by Michael Redmond 9p and Chris Garlock, editor of the AGA E-Journal, starting at 9 pm Seattle time.  The AGA Channel will have commentary by our own Andrew Jackson, and Myungwan Kim 9p, starting at 10 pm.
