cho chikun is my favorite player, but I’m not sure if it’s because of his personality or play style

It looks like Michael Redmond (assisted by Antti Tormanen) will be doing English commentary (at least for the first game).

I hope there is an english translation. If not, I will make it my goal to learn Japanese so I can translate for others !!

Yes, read vaxjo’s reply above. Micael Redmond and Antti Tormanen (Ten on OGS) will be doing English Commentary.

Must be on now already, or?

Sadly I have neither the time nor the mindspace to watch … wish y’all much fun watching!

So, for your information, Cho Chikun with black won the first match against the computer by resign. It kinda seemed to me that DeepZenGo was weaker than expected.

where can i watch the recorded stream? I missed it live. I would like to hear Redmonds live commentary.
I have to be a premium member to watch the recorded livestream on nicovideo.jp, which is funny because nicovideo.jp is where I tried watching it live, but the site had 8000 viewers and it was very laggy. Why they think I would pay a premium membership for a laggy site I don’t know. I know it’s not my fault the site was laggy because I have google fiber and 20+ ram.

Here’s to hoping someone will upload the original stream on youtube.

Does anyone know if SGF files of these games are available anywhere?

Finally, here some links:

Wise, thanks for the link. At least I can understand what they are saying. Chinese accent is no fun to listen.

Is Antti Tormanen the fist first Finnish pro?

18

I think so.

19

You racist. Which Chinese english speaker were you listening to? There’s none that I know off.
