Lee Sedol has just resigned the second game.
I thought he was ahead for a lot of game two. I wonder if that was true, or if AlphaGo was in control all along.
According to this, Lee Sedol said in the post-game press conference that he didn't think he was ahead at any point in the game.
He did...but...like, you can't really trust that. He'd have said that (or similar) no matter what. It isn't game commentary, its signalling.
There's a sort of humblebrag attitude that permeates all of Go. Every press conference is the same. Your opponent was very strong, you were fortunate, you have deep respect for your opponent and thank him for the opportunity.
In the game commentary you get the real dish. They stop using names and use "White/Black" to talk about either side. There things are much more honest.
I thought it was an very likely AlphaGo victory about an hour in, and nearly certain about two hours in.
