2015 October AlphaGo versus Fan Hui is held at DeepMind's headquarters in London.[1] The distributed version of AlphaGo defeates the European Go champion Fan Hui,[2] a 2-dan (out of 9 dan possible) professional, five to zero.[3][4] AlphaGo wins all the five games.[3][5] This is the first time a computer Go program beats a professional human player on a full-sized board without handicap.[6]
2015 October The original AlphaGo becomes the first computer Go program to beat a human professional Go player without handicaps on a full-sized 19×19 board.[7][3]
2016 March AlphaGo versus Lee Sedol takes place as a five-game Go match between 18-time world champion Lee Sedol and AlphaGo. Played in Seoul, South Korea between 9 and 15 March 2016, AlphaGo wins all but the fourth game.[8] This is the first time a computer Go program beats a 9-dan professional without handicaps.[9][10][11][12]
2017 January Under the pseudonym "Master", AlphaGo plays several of the world's top players in a series of online matches, including Ke Jie, winning all 60 of its completed contests.[13][14]
2017 October 19 AlphaGo's team publishes an article in the journal Nature, introducing AlphaGo Zero, a version created without using data from human games, and stronger than any previous version.[15]
2017 October 25 Leela Zero, a free and open-source computer Go software, is released. It is developed by Belgian programmer Gian-Carlo Pascutto,[16][17][18] the author of chess engine Sjeng and Go engine Leela.[19][20]
2017 October It is announced that AlphaGo Zero, armed with just the rules, has in 40 days become even better at Go than the original AlphaGo, without the help of game records.[12]
2017 December 5 DeepMind team releases a preprint on arXiv, introducing AlphaZero, a program using generalized AlphaGo Zero's approach, which achieved within 24 hours a superhuman level of play in chess, shogi, and Go, defeating world-champion programs, Stockfish, Elmo, and 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero in each case.[21]
2017 December DeepMind releases AlphaGo teaching tool on its website.[22] to analyze winning rates of different Go openings as calculated by AlphaGo Master.[23] The teaching tool collects 6,000 Go openings from 230,000 human games each analyzed with 10,000,000 simulations by AlphaGo Master. Many of the openings include human move suggestions.[23]
2017 December AlphaZero beats the 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero by winning 60 games to 40, and with 8 hours of training it outperformed AlphaGo Lee on an Elo scale. AlphaZero also defeats a top chess program (Stockfish) and a top Shōgi program (Elmo).[21][24]
