Based on all the commentaries, it seems that Lee Sedol was really not ahead during the game at any point during the game... and I think everybody has their answer regarding whether AlphaGo can perform in a Ko fight. That's a yes.

#12Perhaps the last big question was whether AlphaGo could play ko positions. AlphaGo played quite well in that ko fight and furthermore, even played away from the ko fight allowing Lee Sedol to play twice in the area.
I definitely did not expect that.
Major credit to Lee Sedol for toughing that out and playing as long as he did. It was dramatic to watch as he played a bunch of his moves with only 1 or 2 seconds left on the clock.

#13Seems to be playing at super-human levels.
I'm no where near a strong player but it seems like AlphaGo is far ahead of Lee Sedol.

That's on purpose to make full use of time and think about the next move

#16I really want to see how a team of humans would do against alpha-go with a 3 or 4 hour time limit.

He was just making effective use of his byo-yomi. Pro players are used to that.

#18Super interesting to watch this unfold. So what game should AI tackle next? I've heard imperfect information games are harder for AI...would the AlphaGo approach not work well for these?

#20I am really curious about the reviews from An Youngil 8p and Myungwan Kim 9p. The commentary by Redmond always tend to leave something to be desired.
