Thanks Fergus. It's pretty interesting for us and different that they call
a "game" a match. So there are five matches in the next week, as one
contest, and will put about one different news source to
announce each result. Kasparov played Shogi and Makruk, and Shogi masters
transfer well to OrthoChess, but have not heard that Go skill helps Chess
or CVs particularly but it seems reasonable. Let's say I would not want to
play Lee at Chess either. Then too AlphaGo is the program or British "programme" so it's Lee Se-dol versus AlphaGo, like it was Kasparov versus Deep Blue. And articles say that the added feature of policy network (and all that programming) to value network may make AlphaGo stronger than Lee realizes.
