AlphaGo has solidified its victory against
Lee Se-dol as it won another round of Baduk
or Go in its five-game challenge match.
Our Lee Ji-won is at the site where the winner
is declared.
Ji-won, tell us how it happened.
Hi Mark.
The third round of Baduk, also known as Go,...
between grandmaster Lee Se-dol of Korea and
artificial intelligence super computer AlphaGo
ended on Saturday with another win for AlphaGo.
After 176 moves and over four hours of a very
close competition, Lee Se-dol forfeited, realizing
that he can no longer with the game.
Knowing that AlphaGo's chances of winning
increases in the latter part of the game,
Lee Se-dol played very aggressivley yet calmly.
But AlphaGo's keen skills in Baduk and creative
moves were beyond Lee Se-dol's skills.
The remaining two games will still be held
through Tuesday despite the fact AlphaGo has
won the first three games.
However,... the one-million U.S. dollar cash
prize and the bragging rights go to AlphaGo
and the DeepMind team.
That's all I have for now.
I'm Lee Ji-won, reporting live from the Four
Seasons hotel on the historic tournament between
Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo.
Back to you, Mark.
