Match Details
In October 2015, our program AlphaGo won 5-0 in a formal match against the reigning 3-times European Champion, Fan Hui, to become the first program to ever beat a professional Go player in an even game.
Now AlphaGo will face its ultimate challenge: a 5-game challenge match in Seoul against the legendary Lee Sedol, the top Go player in the world over the past decade. For full details, please see our press release.
The matches will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Seoul, South Korea, starting at 1pm local time
(4am GMT; day before 11pm ET, 8pm PT) on March 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th and 15th.
The matches will be livestreamed on DeepMind’s YouTube channel as well as broadcast on TV throughout Asia through Korea’s Baduk TV, as well as in China, Japan, and elsewhere.
Match commentators will include Michael Redmond, the only professional Western Go player to achieve
9 dan status. Redmond will commentate in English, and Yoo Changhyuk professional 9 dan, Kim Sungryong professional 9 dan, Song Taegon professional 9 dan, and Lee Hyunwook professional 8 dan will commentate in Korean alternately.
The matches will be played under Chinese rules with a komi of 7.5 (the compensation points the player who goes second receives at the end of the match). Each player will receive two hours per match with three lots of 60-second byoyomi (countdown periods after they have finished their allotted time).
Each match is expected to take around 4-5 hours.
