<a href="https://gogameguru.com/alphago-2/">AlphaaGo2-0</a>. Obviously many a CV would be lots harder for Computers than Go. Seriously all that is needed is to bring some flexibility to Rules, or indeterminacy like Kriegspiel.
Round_One. If anyone sees a result first, feel free to post it here by any suitable format or annotation.
I have been looking for a word besides game that would mean game in the sense of a specific game played between two people. Currently, the word game does double-duty, referring to a particular set of rules, as in the game of Chess, or to individual games played between people, as in Bobby Fischer's "60 Memorable Games", which are all Chess. I don't think match quite does it, because a match can include a plural number of games played between two people.
Thanks Fergus. It's pretty interesting for us and different that they call a "game" a match. So there are five matches in the next week, as one contest, and will put about one different news source to announce each result. Kasparov played Shogi and Makruk, and Shogi masters transfer well to OrthoChess, but have not heard that Go skill helps Chess or CVs particularly but it seems reasonable. Let's say I would not want to play Lee at Chess either. Then too AlphaGo is the program or British "programme" so it's Lee Se-dol versus AlphaGo, like it was Kasparov versus Deep Blue. And articles say that the added feature of policy network (and all that programming) to value network may make AlphaGo stronger than Lee realizes.
Okay, the article you linked to this time does have that error. It says,
The first move of a game of chess offers 28 possibilities;
You linked to a different article in your previous comment.
It's the 'Guardian' article that has the error, linked at "Computer
Resistant"
thread. The error is still here:

First, here is what the article actually says:
Hassabis notes that while chess has an average of around 20 possible moves for a given position, Go gives the player about ten times as many options, resulting in a massively higher branching factor that is far harder for any AI to deal with.
This is not about the number of possible first moves but about the average number of moves for a given position. This seems incorrect, because as pieces are developed in Chess, the number of possible moves rapidly increases from 20.
Second, OrthoChess does have 20 possible first moves. These are 8 one-space Pawn moves, 8 double Pawn moves, and 4 Knight moves.
The error in 'Guardian' article is that OrthoChess has 20 possible first moves not 28. Even 1920s Capablanca Chess on ten-wide has 26 only, but some CVs would have a 28 of typical range from low 20 to great 40.

<p>Go on accepted 19x19 has one type of piece and is not considered a CV. Such as Battle Chieftain (10x11) has one type of piece and is considered a CV.<p> Besides being prime Go's '19' has significance geometrical, <a href="http://vortexmaps.com/nineteen.php">Nineteen</a>.

Loss
Lee Se-dol said beforehand he was out to save humanity. It was the same expression Kasparov used in 1997. Apparently it was just so much posturing or advertising or propaganda, because they don't say after each of these fiascos that humanity lost, just that Computer won.
