Hi all,
We are very excited to announce that our Go program, AlphaGo, has
beaten a professional player for the first time. AlphaGo beat the
European champion Fan Hui by 5 games to 0. We hope you enjoy our
paper, published in Nature today. The paper and all the games can be
found here:

The paper is freely available to download at the bottom of the page.

AlphaGo will be competing in a match against Lee Sedol in Seoul,
this March, to see whether we finally have a Go program that is
stronger than any human!

PS I am very busy preparing AlphaGo for the match, so apologies in
advance if I cannot respond to all questions about AlphaGo.
Congratulations on your achievement. While scanning the web articles
yesterday, I came across this one:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-27/google-computers-defeat-human-players-at-2-500-year-old-board-game
It states that the winner of the March match gets $1mil. This is the
only reference to any prize I have found. Is it correct?
Thank you,
Michael
