Will AlphaGo be able to defeat Lee Sedol in March Go match?

It was way back in 1997 that IBM’s Deep Blue computer defeated Gary Kasparov, who at that time was world chess champion. But almost 20 years later it will still be a huge challenge for the computer to defeat the world’s top Go player.

But, earlier this month, Google's AI company DeepMind announced that it had built a system of networks capable of beating a champion Go player. In fact, this computer named AlphaGo already defeated game's European champion.



Still, the big match is scheduled for March 9th-15th when it will take on the Go world No 1, South Korean Lee Se-dol, in a live broadcast from Seoul, South Korea. The contest also offers a $1m prize and five games will be played.

So, now you have markets created for this interesting event, and at the moment Lee Se-dol is still a small favorite but AlphaGo’s chances are also rather big, something like IBM’s Deep Blue had against Kasparov first time they played.

All in all, this could be the last human vs technology battle when it comes to board games, unless Lee Se-dol prevails. And if it is already not interesting enough, YouTube will be live streaming the series of games. Before this, bet at Fairlay:

Will Bitcoin Classic be adopted by April 1, 2017?

After subsequent fall of Bitcoin XT, the release of Bitcoin Classic has recently become the trending topic in Bitcoin community. It is another hard-fork of the bitcoin cryptocurrency aiming to increase the transaction processing capacity of Bitcoin by increasing its block size limit.

It is similar to the Bitcoin XT fork, though less aggressive as Bitcoin Classic promotes a single increase of the maximum block size from 1MB to 2MB, which has not achieved consensus. So the question asked by everyone at the moment will Bitcoin Classic be able to achieve it.

Bitcoin Classic is so far endorsed by a group of developers and companies that have in total around 30 percent of hash power but it is questionable can they go up to 75 percent in order activate a 2MB block size limit increase. They started well but most think that their chances are small.

Because of this, you now have open 'Will Bitcoin Classic be adopted by April 1, 2017?' market with enough time for Bitcoin Classic to become a real think and for Bitcoin to finally have its block size limit increase. And odds for this are great so if you believe in it, bet right now at Fairlay:

The Voice UK 2016 – Who will be the Winner and who the Winning Manager?

On January 9, the fifth series of The Voice UK, a British television music competition to find new singing talent, began airing on BBC One, and they already announced that it will be the last to be aired on it before it is moved to ITV. As usually, the winner of The Voice UK receives fame, £100,000 and a record deal with Universal Republic.

Once again, this show won’t be only about its competitors but also about its coaches and for the series 5 those coaches are Ricky Wilson, Paloma Faith, Boy George, and will.i.am. If you are fan of this show you perhaps already have your favorite coach and you can bet right now for the 'The Voice UK 2016 - Winning Manager’ at Fairlay:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/the-voice-uk-2016-winning-manager/.

But there are only four coaches, though they are with almost same chances to win in the end, but it is even bigger task to find and bet on the right winner of the show, before odds get lower on it. They are still going through blind auditions but after six episodes there is the first favorite Kevin Simm whose 'Chandelier' already has a 1.5m YouTube views.

Second favorite is Cody Frost who on the first auditions performed ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ that also went over 1m YouTube views, and then she is followed by Jolan who won hearts with ‘Wishing Well’ last week. Anyway, there is still a lot of the battles on The Voice UK series 5 but you should already put bets on your favorite at Fairlay:

Super Tuesday – Who will drop out before it?

Republicans came into the primaries with huge number of 17 candidates, though five of them dropped out of the race before the voting started. They were followed by five more after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries and so the following question is who will drop out next, or, as it is put in the market, before Super Tuesday scheduled for March 1?

It is sure that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio will stay in the race to the end as they all hope to get the Republican nomination, while Jim Gilmore is that one person who won't drop out soon even if he doesn't get any votes. So, this leaves us with John Kasich, Jeb Bush, and Ben Carson, all in question to drop after South Carolina and Nevada.

John Kasich would maybe already drop out if he didn’t gain some momentum after his great second-place finish in New Hampshire. Still, he will hardly be even among the first four in South Carolina and then that New Hampshire momentum won’t be such a big thing. But he said he would stay in the race for long and thus chances for him to drop out before Super Tuesday are still rather small, so you have great odds at Fairlay if you think he will drop out before that:

John Kasich to drop out before Super Tuesday: https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/john-kasich-to-drop-out-before-super-tuesday/.

At the same time, things are much worse for Jeb Bush. He has more money for his campaign than Kasich but will hardly stay in the race as his campaign has gotten less bang for its buck than any campaign in history, spending more than $100 million in advertising just to get a combined 14 percent of the vote in Iowa or New Hampshire. So if he doesn’t get great result is South Carolina, chances are really strong that he will drop out of the race, so you can bet now on it at Fairlay:

Jeb Bush to drop out before Super Tuesday : https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/jeb-bush-to-drop-out-before-super-tuesday/.

Somewhere between Kasich and Bush is Ben Carson, though at the moment he is favored to drop as well before the Super Tuesday. His chances for winning nomination are already low so he already needs to exceed expectations in South Carolina to stay in the race, and he even hopes to win it. But even with losing badly in South Carolina, it’s not clear what Carson’s end game is, and that makes it increasingly hard to predict it, so if you know better use that and bet at Fairlay:

Ben Carson to drop out before Super Tuesday: https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/ben-carson-to-drop-out-before-super-tuesday/.

EU Referendum – Will the UK vote to stay in the EU?

After renegotiations on the UK's relationship with Europe were finalized on Friday, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron didn’t wait long as he yesterday made his historic announcement in Downing Street. So, get ready as the UK will vote on whether to remain in the EU will be made on Thursday 23 June.

How important this voting could be is best said by Mr Cameron who right away described the vote as one of the biggest decisions "in our lifetimes". Of course, citizens of the UK are those who will be deciding whether they will stay in the EU or leave it, but all the world will be eager to see what will happen in four months.

Now you have an open market in which odds are still in favor of the UK staying in the EU, as David Cameron said he would be campaigning to remain in a reformed EU, but Ministers immediately divided up into the leave and remain camps as the campaigns got under way in earnest.

But, though odds are in favor of staying, the British public are (according to the latest opinion polls) fairly evenly split, so chances that the UK could leave the EU this summer are even bigger than the first odds show. Anyway, there are going to be campaigns for both Britain's staying and exit from the EU but you can already bet at Fairlay:

Apple vs FBI – Will Apple be held in contempt before April 1?

Okay, you really had to try a lot in order to miss this ‘fight’ between Apple and FBI that’s been lasting for the last seven days. In fact, since last Tuesday when federal magistrate-judge ruled that Apple must help the FBI break into the locked iPhone 5C of the dead shooter from the San Bernardino shooting that killed 14 people, Syed Farook.

Apple was ordered to create a weaker version of its operating system for this one device, and help the FBI crack Farook's passcode. But Apple said no as its CEO Tim Cook explained that decision in a public letter to his customers:

‘The FBI may use different words to describe this tool, but make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control.’

At this moment, Apple has until Friday, Feb. 26 to present its legal argument against this order and over time Apple could even take this all the way up the U.S. Supreme Court. But, in the end, if Apple refuses a court order it can be held in contempt of court. Or even its CEO Tim Cook could be held in contempt of court and possibly go to jail.

Still, all this seems rather unlikely at the moment but for those of you still believing that Apple or any of its executives could be held in contempt of court by a federal judge or a magistrate before April 1, you have great odds at Fairlay:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/apple-to-be-held-in-contempt-before-april-1/.


So, what is your opinion on this ‘Apple vs FBI’ topic, do you think that it will soon be finished or do you think that this could be a long fight with many of the potential markets to be created down the road? And are there any specific markets that you would like to see at the moment, with all this attention this topic is getting at the moment?

Will Republicans have a brokered convention in 2016?

Donald Trump's first-place finish in South Carolina has revived an ongoing discussion about the possibility of a brokered Republican convention and that discussion is still alive prior to the Nevada Republican caucuses in which Trump is the clear front-runner. And though Trump’s results put some Republicans into a panic it could be too late for a a brokered convention.

However, Trump dismissed the notion of a brokered convention (“I think it’s unlikely. I think I’m doing better than that, and so far, you know, I’m really on my way.”), which would occur if no candidate has the required amount of delegates to secure the nomination. The Republicans would then take the battle to the convention floor to decide on a nominee in July.

So, Republicans having that rare brokered convention this year is still a possibility though this is unlikely if Trump continues to win states by such large margins. But, there is still time for change as a brokered convention will be more likely if Rubio manages to win important states like California, West Virginia and New York and it would suit him the most  due to his establishment status.

Another scenario leading to a possible brokered convention is Cruz winning in Texas on March 1 and Florida later on, and with Bush out of the race, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus saying on Brokered Convention: 'We're Prepared for Anything', maybe current odds at Fairlay for Republicans to have a brokered convention in 2016 could be a great bet:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/will-republicans-have-a-brokered-convention-in-2016-1/


So, what is your opinion on this topic, are the Republican party leaders finally taking Trump seriously and will they try to consolidate behind either Rubio or Cruz and thus go towards the brokered convention, or stand behind Trump before National Convention in July? Also, which other US Election markets would you like to see before the following primaries?

Texas Republican primary – Will Cruz beat Trump?

Okay, we had primaries in early states and Trump in on a three-state win streak but it is time for a Super Tuesday. A lot of that will be decided on March 1 but in the end the main talk could be only about Texas. One hundred and fifty-five GOP delegates are at stake in this primary, more than Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada combined.

But it is not only about the number of delegates in Texas, it is also about it being all or nothing for Ted Cruz as, after winning the Iowa caucuses, the senator has suffered three consecutive third place finishes. And now it is time for his home state of Texas where win is a must. Still, few days before Texas primary he is not such a huge favorite for a win.

Though Ted Cruz is around 6% above Trump on latest opinion pools, some of them see Cruz and Trump as even so a lot could be decided tonight on the Republican presidential debate in Houston. It’s the last meeting for candidates before the Super Tuesday primaries, while CNN returns yet again as the debate host. And Marco Rubio wants to fight as well.

So, tonight we could see a fight between Rubio and Cruz as it is time to decide who of them will go against Trump, while at the same time Trump could back up Rubio in this fight. All in all, it will surely be interesting in Texas, and you already have Fairlay market created with Cruz still having the biggest chances but this also means great odds on Trump:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-texas-republican-primary/.


What are your opinions on this Texas Republican primary, do you think Trump could win even here? Also, what do you think about other Super Tuesday primaries and which one of them would you like to place your bets on?

Number of Bitcoin transactions per day in the first week of June to be over 240,000 – YES or NO?

After going down to only 160,000 Bitcoin transactions per day at the start of the year, number of transactions has started to grow in the last two months. In fact, in the last weeks it’s been average of 223,000 transactions per day.

So, would do you think will happen in the next few months? Could number of daily Bitcoin transactions easily go above 230,000 or even over 240,000 as there were 246,000 daily transactions yesterday? So, if we take those numbers from the start of the year, it is surely possible that numbers could go higher. But of course, some of you also think that number of those transactions has to stop growing soon with many of those block being already full.

Anyway, you now have an open market on Fairlay on whether the number of Bitcoin transactions per day in the first week of June will be over 240,000 so hurry to make your bets as you surely already have your opinion on this market:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/number-of-bitcoin-transactions-per-day-in-the-first-week-of-june-to-be-over-240-000/.

And also, what are the other Bitcoin markets that you would like to bet on, with all the actual topics in this community?

Super Tuesday in Minnesota – The end for Rubio and Sanders?

Super Tuesday, which is scheduled for tomorrow is the day when a dozen states (and one territory) will hold their nominating contests this year and it has a great importance as the huge number of 661 Republican delegates will be allocated, and also 865 delegates for Democrats. You already had created market for the Texas Republican primary as it is the home country of Ted Cruz so Trump could finally be defeated again, but if you still believe in Trump bet at Fairlay:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-texas-republican-primary/

Still, out of the Texas Trump will probably swipe all the other countries so he could become unstoppable. And because of this, Minnesota Republican Caucus became really important one. Northern states tend to feature more liberal Republican electorates, so that makes this a prime test of whether Marco Rubio can top Donald Trump across the map. If, Trump easily wins Minnesota as well, that could be it, but, on the other side, Rubio could start a comeback here.

So, a day before Minesota Republican Caucus Donald Trump is till with great chances to win this country as well but solid chances are given to Marco Rubio also, while Ted Cruz will have to be pleased with possible win in Texas. There are a lot of primaries after the Super Tuesday but some of the important Republicans are already getting behind Trump so March 1 in Minnesota could mean a lot to Rubio. No matter who do you trust, bet on this Caucus at Fairlay now:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-minnesota-republican-caucus/

When it comes to Democrats, Super Tuesday in Minnesota will be important as well. This state with a largely white population makes Minnesota exactly the kind of state Bernie Sanders is targeting in his campaign so he has some chances to win and show that he is still in contention. But, at the same time, this could also test the value of his endorsements, since Hillary Clinton has the backing of all the state's powerful Democrats, thus she is favorite to win:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-minnesota-democratic-caucus/

All in all, Super Tuesday will be really interesting as Trump and Clinton could go too far to be caught, or it could finally start to get more interesting, at least in one of the parties. In all of this Minnesota doesn’t have too many delegates but opinions of its population could show a lot. And, do you have any Super Tuesday markets that you would like to bet on, or do you already want to see odds on those primaries that are coming after Super Tuesday, from the next weekend on?

Eurovision Song Contest 2016 – Who will be the winner this year?

With all those Super Tuesday markets being resolved today, it is time to get away from the politics a bit as you now have Eurovision markets at offer. It is two and a half months away as it will take place from May 10-14 in Stockholm, Sweden, following Sweden's victory at the 2015 contest. So, did you predict the winner right last year or is this your year to win?

It is important to note that this years contest will also be the first to implement a new voting system, with each country now awarding two sets of points: one from their professional jury and another from televoting. So, could this change a lot as forty-three countries will participate, including even Australia that returns after debuting as a guest in 2015.

At the moment Australia is among the favorites for the win, though not among the biggest ones that include Russia and Poland. Those are followed by the host Sweden and Latvia, and then by Australia. Among favorites for this year winner are also Germany and France but at Fairlay you also have ‘Other’ option to bet on, and it includes all the other countries:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/eurovision-song-contest-2016-winner/.

So, are you fan of Eurosong, and (with only few more countries having to confirm artists that will represent them), did you already find your favorites for this year or are you among those who think that voting is only a political thing? Even if that is the way you can find country to bet on, and you can also suggest other entertainment markets to be created.

Obama's Next Supreme Court Nominee – Who will it be?

As Super Tuesday was unraveling, President Obama at the same time met with top Senate leaders at the White House to discuss Obama's nomination to fill a Supreme Court vacancy this year, after associate Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead on February 13. But, at it was expected, Senate Republicans said nothing has changed their determination not to give the nominee a hearing as they still think that this appointment should be made by the next president.

But, even after this, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Obama is moving forward with the process of vetting and nominating a Supreme Court justice. On Monday it was announced that President Obama has already tapped Brian Deese, his senior adviser on energy and environment issues, to oversee the upcoming Supreme Court nomination and there are talks that SCOTUS nomination could even come by the end of this week, or surely in the next following weeks.

So now you have created market about who will be Obama's next Supreme Court nominee and the biggest chances are given to judge Sri Srinivasan as he is a top contender if the President wants a so-called consensus nominee who could peel off enough GOP votes to get past a filibuster. He is followed by Loretta Lynch, former U.S. attorney in New York who has a strong record on civil-rights issues as U.S. attorney general.

There are already talks that Democrats might not want to risk burning Srinivasan on a political fight, so other opinions could also be great bets. One of them is Jacqueline Nguyen who was confirmed to the appellate court, 91-3, in May 2012, potentially making it difficult for Republicans to justify voting against her. Rather favorites are also Ketanji Brown Jackson and Jane Kelly who is, on the other side, one with the lack of a judicial record.

Again, with Senate Republicans not wanting to give nominee even a hearing, options ‘Other’ could be a great bet as it is highly unlikely that Senate will confirm Next Supreme Court Nominee so Obama could step away from the popular names. Anyway, you have plenty options to bet on Fairlay and take in mind that this market resolves to Barack Obama's next formal Supreme Court nominee, whether or not the nomination is successful. Place your bet now at:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/obamas-next-supreme-court-nominee/

And, as usual, you can also suggest you own markets about SOTUS nominations. So, would you maybe like to see market about the gender of the next nominee, or will Senate confirm next, or in fact any of the Obama’s SCOTUS nominees?

Kansas caucuses – Country for Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders to win?

Super Tuesday is only two days behind us but it is already time for the new primaries and caucuses that will be held on Saturday, March 5, followed by two more on Sunday. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, and Nebraska should be easy wins for both Trump and Hillary, so Kansas could be the state mostly talked about when the results come back on Saturday.

Recent polls in Kansas showed that Trump and Hillary are favorites for the win but more important were Super Tuesday results in Oklahoma that was won by Sanders and Cruz. Not only are Oklahoma and Kansas neighbors, their populations have a similar racial and socioeconomic makeup, a similar urban/rural split and a relatively similar electoral size.

So, after Sanders and Cruz won in Oklahoma, could this be repeated in Kansas? Sanders has done better in places where there are a lot of white voters and Kansas has a large white population. Kansas' population also has lower income than other countries Hillary won, so this will favor Sanders as well. If you think that will (not) be enough bet at Fairlay:

Kansas Democratic Caucus – https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-kansas-democratic-caucus/.

It is a bit more complicated for the Republicans as both Marco Rubio and Trump were fewer than 10 points behind Cruz in Oklahoma, so small shifts in the electorate this week could change the outcome. Change could also be made by tonight’s Republican debate in Detrorit where Trump will once again be under big attack from both Rubio and Cruz.

Important thing in Cruz’s potential Kansas win could be that the 6 percent of Oklahoma voters who chose Ben Carson could move towards Cruz, another evangelical candidate, now that it's looking more and more as if Carson will be out of the race soon. But, we already now that nothing is sure this year, so you have also good odds on Trump and Rubio:

Kansas Republican Caucus – https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-kansas-republican-caucus/.

What are you opinions on this, and would you like to see some other markets created for this weekend’s primaries? Or do you want to bet at markets that could seal the win for both Trump and Hillary, like those in Florida on March 15?

Next London Mayor – Khan or Goldsmith?

Exactly two months before the 2016 election for London Mayor, Labour's Sadiq Khan is still the favorite to win the election for London mayor as he has been topping the polls since last summer so media in Britain and world are often asking the question does Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith stand a chance? As all the others candidates do not.

"While Khan has given the impression of covering every angle with know-how and energy, the Goldsmith campaign has, by comparison, looked lethargic and at times ill-judged," says Dave Hill in The Guardian. But, he adds, the outcome is still "hard to foresee with certainty". Because of this Khan is still not a huge favorite and Goldsmith could be a good bet.

"All is not lost for team Goldsmith," says Asa Bennett in the Daily Telegraph. He points out that "Posh Tory" jibes didn't stop David Cameron from winning two general elections, nor Johnson from winning the London mayoralty twice in a row. So, looks like everything is still open and you have two more months to bet at Fairlay on the next London Major:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/next-london-mayor/.

What are your opinions on the next London Major, and which other UK Politics markets would you like to be created?


it would be nice if you added bitcoin prediction and also some major forex pairs as the layout of your looks good. if you add some major forex pairs that would be nicer of you.

Thanks for your suggestion, will look into it. There were already in the past some markets about Bitcoin price so there will be in the future as well, and maybe on the forex pairs also.

Hawaii and Idaho tomorrow – Will Trump lose both of them?

Donald Trump had a bad night on Saturday, losing Kansas and Maine to the doctrinaire Texan, Ted Cruz, and winning Louisiana and Kentucky only narrowly. But it is time for some even more important primaries and looks like Trump will prevail in both Michigan and Mississippi tomorrow but big question is will he at the same time lose Idaho and Hawaii?

After Marco Rubio won Puerto Rico last night, he is also the biggest favorite to win the Hawaii Caucus as there are opinions that he gained a bit of the momentum with that win and that he is part of the establishment that voters in Hawaii like. But, again, Puerto Rico's concerns are very different than Hawaii’s and there could be another ‘Trump factor’ here. Anyway, if you favor Trump, odds on his win here are better than in most countries so bet now at Fairlay:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/who-will-win-the-hawaii-republican-caucus/.

Though, odds on Trump's win are even (though not by a much) bigger in Idaho where Ted Cruz is the first favorite and Marco Rubio almost without any chances, though some think that he could be a dark horse and a huge surprise as he already invested lot of time and resources in Idaho, and visited Idaho three times, more than any other candidate did.

Of course, Cruz is the main favorite after winning Maine and Kansas, as Idaho is also a religious conservative state with high population of Mormons. And in 2012 Romney easily won Idaho so his negative comments towards Trump could also mean a lot. Anyway, Idaho's primary will surely draw a lot of attention tomorrow and you can either favor Cruz or go for Trump or even huge surprise win by Rubio but you surely don't want to miss this market, so bet at Fairlay now:

AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol – It is 1:0 but who will prevail in the end?

“#AlphaGo WINS!!!! We landed it on the moon. So proud of the team!! Respect to the amazing Lee Sedol too,“ twitted Demis Hassabis, Founder & CEO of DeepMind that had built AlphaGo, a system of networks capable of beating a champion Go player. In fact, this morning AlphaGo defeated legendary Go player Lee Sedol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea.

“Where were you daddy when humans first surrendered to the machines,“ was another of the tweets as the first match between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol was followed all around the globe this morning (all the matches start at 04.30 AM CET time). But in the end, those cheering for humanity weren’t too lucky as Lee resigned after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock.



AlphaGo won the first match and is a big favorite to win this match overall but it did make few mistakes, while Lee Sedol was just too nervous, so the best human player is still with chances to make a comeback. Thus, he is given solid chances to prevail in the second match that is on schedule tomorrow. It will surely be another big fight and you already have markets created for both total and the second match winner:

Florida and Ohio next Tuesday – Will Trump secure nomination by winning both of them?

Another Tuesday and another nice day for Donald Trump who yesterday won Mississippi, Michigan and even Hawaii, losing only Idaho in which Cruz prevailed. So, Trump enjoys Tuesdays and next one could be remembered as Tuesday when he became unstoppable. Super Tuesday was a big step towards nomination, yesterday he almost for sure got rid of Marco Rubio and it is he or Ted Cruz now.

Being unable to win even Hawaii in which he was favorite, Marco Rubio is with poor chances before his home primaries in Florida on March 15. Rubio put a lot in Florida campaign but, as he did almost nothing in countries prior to it, it is almost sure that Trump will win Florida as well and put a sad end to Rubio's campaign. Pools are also in favor of Trump but if you think Rubio could still make a surpirse find great odds at Fairlay:

How dominant is Trump shows that on March 15 he could also defeat John Kasich in his home state of Ohio. Kasich’s chances for winning Ohio are also going down from day to day and his chances are already even with those of Trump’s. So, these important winner-take-all primaries in Ohio and Florida on March 15 could determine the fates of both Rubio and Kasich. And if you think that Trump will win Ohio as well you can find good odds at:

So, what is your opinion on Ohio and Florida and what other primaries markets would you like too see created?

AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol – 2:0 for AI, can humanity make a comeback?

"Yesterday I was surprised but today it's more than that — I am speechless," said Lee Sedol in the post-game press conference, after he once again resigned, in the second of five Go matches that are these days played in Seoul against AlphaGo, the computer created by Google's DeepMind.

In the first match Sedol was nervous but today he almost made no mistake but AlphaGo was still too strong for him. So, after Lee earlier predicted he'd win 5-0 or 4-1 at worst, he now needs to come out on top in all three remaining games whereas AlphaGo could wrap up the series by Saturday when the next match is scheduled.


Lee this morning literally dropped his jaw for few seconds after the jaw-dropping move by Alpha Go

Fairlay continues to follow this interesting match though it is almost sure that AlphaGo will prevail in the end. But it is the question can Lee win at least one match and could he stop AphaGo in the next one, though today AlphaGo was confident in victory from the midway point of the game.

So, AplhaGo in a huge favorite to prevail overall but also a big favorite to win the third match of the series as well. But do you think a day rest will help Sedol to find a way to outmaneuver AlphaGo in the next match or is it all done for him?
