Harry's Trade – A Tribute to AlphaGo (2017)

From 2015 to 2017, AlphaGo – an Artifical Intelligence solution from DeepMind Technologies Limited – not only managed to achieve the first win of a Go playing programme in an even game against a professional opponent – a performance that had been expected about ten years in the future. AlphaGo also reached an overall score of 72 to 1 against professional players – including most of the top ones from China, Japan and Korea.

A specialty of her playing style were large exchanges / trades on the board that she could judge better than her human opponents.

Harry found a mistaken timing of a forcing move in the hanezeki in the course of Our Solution (2015) which refutation all of a sudden reminded us of AlphaGo.

An Unbelievable Tenuki 1092b
An Unexpected Miai 1092c
      A Tsume-Go in the Upper Left Corner 1092d
Igo Hatsuyōron's Generosity with Amateur's Mistakes 1092e

We ask for your kind understanding that we have not been able to adjust the structure of our website according to the new correct order of moves, but only added a corresponding note in the affected variations.
