Re: [Computer-go] *****SPAM***** Congratulations to AlphaGo

2016-03-13 Thread David Doshay
The SiliValley Go club is getting requests to join our email notifications at 
about 5 times the normal rate since the AlphaGo paper was published. So far 
everyone has had some prior knowledge of the game, and several have not played 
in a while. Some are beginners, but so far no people who do not yet know how to 
play.

Cheers,
David G Doshay

Smart-games.com is getting a big increase in traffic, so there is certainly 
more interest in the game now.  I hope it holds up for the long term.

Congratulations to AlphaGo and its team! You have done what many of us could 
only dream to do and in such short time I may add. This is a truly historical 
moment and an amazing achievement for AI research!

 

I hope this is not the end of Go and only sparks more interest in this 
beautiful game. What an exciting time we live in and I can't wait to see what 
the future holds.

Dmitry Kamenetsky
