With the first match of Lee Sedol vs Korean AI HanDol beginning less than 12 hours from now, I thought it would be good to have resources pertaining to the matches in an easy to find place.
The first match begins 2019-12-18T03:00:00Z . Lee will play as black with a 2 stone handicap. HanDol will take 7.5 point komi.
Moves will be relayed at:
The following streams will be offering live commentary during the match:
I will update this post as I find more streams and resources

So do we know when Lee Sedol will be playing Handol? Or if it will be relayed somewhere?

@S_Alexander gave the dates in an earlier post:
Match Schedule:
Dec 18, Seoul
Dec 19, Seoul
Dec 21, Sinan-gun (Lee’s homeland)
Rules are: Lee starts with 2 stones but white gets 7.5 points. If he wins, second game is even, if loses, second game with 3 stones. Depending on the results of the second game, third game’s handicap is also adjusted. (Time limit is 2 hours, I think)
To remind, AI opponent is called Handol (한돌, 韩豆). Last AI tournament it finished 3rd losing only to FineArt and Golaxy. Link to 3rd place match. In January it also pl…

Ah yes, I either missed that or just completely forgot where it was said thanks!
Already only around one week left. I can’t wait for the match. I wonder if anyone is going to cover it live. Maybe Yoonyoung? Or @xhu98 has any plans? I also think we could relay the moves on OGS since it’s such a big match.

Maybe Michael Redmond and Chris Garlock will steam/relay it in OGS, only discovered they started steaming yesterday when they reviewed a game on OGS

The first half of that video is also relevant to our discussion above of move 78 from game 4 of the Lee Sedol vs AlphaGo match,
Starting from:
When I’m feeling discouraged, this video about his Hand of God move always lifts me up a bit. I’m grateful for Lee Sedol’s contributions to Go history with both his win vs AlphaGo and the broken ladder game. Two awe inspiring events that will stick in my mind for probably the rest of my life.
Until:
I think the “hand of god” and “divine move” labels arose from the widespread and immediate reaction that genuinely believed that the move was effective. Gu Li 9p (providing the Chinese commentary) may been the most influential source for that phrase, since he is reported to have made such an exclamation upon seeing that move. Of course, the popular media is going to firmly latch onto such language , regardless of later analysis/refutations.
It certainly surprised a lot of people and the vast maj…
It seems that the new development is that only recently has Lee Sedol called it a “trick move”.

So what’s our predictions? How will the match go? Lots of people say with authority that Lee is going to win 3 stones against komi. And to not be a sheep I want to say that Handol wins second game too so it’s going to be 0-0-1 for Lee Sedol. Is it too crazy to imagine bots learning to play handicap well?
Lee’s interview, you can auto-generate auto-translate subtitles.

A POLL, somebody PLEASE make a poll! (Must end before the games begin, of course … or maybe even three polls, one for each game? I don’t know.)

Nope, TBH, I’m still overwhelmed by Real Life “and stuff”. I was honestly expressing a wish. But I don’t really have the time to write up something informative, I know too little about the match, etc., etc.

This poll isn’t very good because 1-2 can go 0-0-1 or 0-1-0 and these are the two most likely outcomes.
I thought to make a poll but decided against it because we have 8 options but only 2 viable so it becomes a bit silly,
