Caption: On top of his excellent reading and unshakable confidence, Ke Jie is known to play with a finely balanced style, knowing intuitively when to play boldly or exercise caution. Here, Ke Jie [far right], along with Nie Weiping [next to Ke Jie], Fan Hui [standing] and Gu Li [far left], have recreated the opening moves of one of AlphaGo’s games with Lee Sedol from memory to explain the beauty of its moves to Google CEO Sundar Pichai during a visit he made to Nie Weiping’s Go school in Beijing last year.
