>And thats why the pair go in this series is actually most interesting to me.

Is the pair game really going to test this though? Both sides are human + AlphaGo. Also, I have not read specifically what they are planning for this match, but when I hear "pair go", I think of teammates alternating moves without coordinating. If AlphaGo makes a "weird" move, the human teammate would have a chance to mess up in the follow up.



I hope its my variation, and not a mockery of the game by alternating moves.


Pair Go is not a "mockery of the game". It's been an official format that's been around for quite some time now: http://www.pairgo.or.jp/setumei/rule.htm


Pair Go is not go, and neither is 9x9. The whole philosophy of life that you Go demands of you is not present in either of those games.

And its a mockery to the truly important questions regarding the future of go to do a gimmicky game like that.
