SEOUL Men's Air Jordan 1 Retro Black Metallic Gold Shoes Australia , March 9 (Xinhua) -- Google's computer program AlphaGo on Wednesday unexpectedly defeated world human Go champion Lee Sedol of South Korea in the first of their five-game match, taking a 1-0 lead with an automatic victory by a wide margin.


Lee, the world champion of the ancient Chinese board game Go in the past 10 years, was shockingly defeated by AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Google's London-based artificial intelligence (AI) arm.


It marked the first time that AI beats world human champion at Go, which has been regarded as the last game humans can dominate in matches with computer programs.


AlphaGo beat European Go champion Fan Hui by 5-0 in October last year, defeating a human Go professional for the first time.


Lee and AlphaGo played a tight game by the middle of the match and showed aggressive plays. Lee put his first position in the right flower spot, and about one and a half minutes later, AlphaGo placed its first marker in the left flower.


One of DeepMind developers put AlphaGo's markers on the board, shown through Internet broadcasting, on behalf of the computer program.


From the very beginning, Lee played anomalously by placing his fourth marker at an irregular position, which a commentator said it was the first anomaly he has ever seen from the South Korean Go professional.


AlphaGo responded "calmly" to the anomaly, playing aggressively to Lee who in turn took counterattacks against the algorithm, the commentator said.


Lee's slight domination by the middle of the match was reversed as AlphaGo infiltrated into the right areas of black stone put by the human champion with its 102nd placing of white stone.


Lee tried to change the situations in his favor, but he finally admitted his defeat after his 186th placing of black stone. As he got black stone which allows him to put the very first marker, Lee had to win 7.5 areas more than AlphaGo for victory, according to the Chinese Go rules.


Go originated from China more than 2,500 years ago. It involves two players who take turns putting markers on a grid-shaped board to gain more areas on it. One can occupy the markers of the opponent by surrounding the pieces of the other.


The five-game match between Lee and AlphaGo will run through next Tuesday. The second match will be held in Seoul from 1 p.m. local time (0400 GMT) on Thursday.


MADRID, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid face a potentially complicated game when they travel to the Canary Islands to play a confident Las Palmas on Sunday night.


If morale in the Madrid camp has returned following three wins in three games in the wake of the painful defeat at home to Atletico Madrid which ended their title hopes in the BBVA Primera Liga, Las Palmas have also seen a resurgence in form.


Quique Setien' s side have also won three consecutive matches to climb away from the relegation zone, beating Eibar, Getafe and last week taking a merited win away to high-flying Villarreal to move four points clear of the relegation zone.


They have done that in style as well, with only Barcelona producing more passes in recent games, proof of Setien' s desire for his side to survive by playing good attacking football.


It will be tougher against a Real Madrid side who need to maintain domestic form in order to provide a springboard for their challenge in the Champions League after qualifying for the quarter-finals on Tuesday night.


Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is likely to make some changes to the team which suffered before beating Roma 2-0, with Lucas Vazquez coming back into the starting 11 after his decisive appearance in midweek.


Gareth Bale will also be in the starting 11, while Cristiano Ronaldo continues to lead the attack.


Casimiro looks likely to retain his place in the side where his tough tackling provides a stability in front of the defense, which the more attack minded Tony Kroos is unable to provide.


Dani Carvajal, who was rested in midweek, will replace Danilo at right back, while Pepe is likely to step down to allow Rafael Varene to start.


During a week that the English Premier League announced a cap on prices for travelling fans, ticket costs in Las Palmas should come into focus given that the cheapest ticket for non-season ticket holders has been priced at 90 euros for the game, but despite that high cost the Insular Stadium will be packed for aa game which could either confirm Las Palmas' escape from trouble or Madrid' s return to form.


This week Ballers started airing on HBO and the world of -celebrity and American football has come to the fore. However, in case of life imitating art, Diddy, formerly known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy and Sean Combs, was arrested at UCLA football practice.Diddy was alleged to have -attacked one of the UCLA program's coaches with a kettlebell. His charges include three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery. Yikes.


Celebrity gossip behemoth TMZ reports that a UCLA strength and conditioning coach was bellowing at the junior Combs before -daddy puffed out his chest and reached for nearest thing to add weight to his argument. The reason for this alleged assault might also be the handful of game minutes that his son -Justin Combs has had during his three years as a defensive back on the Bruins squad.


It'll be interesting to see if a certain Calvin Broadus Jr, aka Snoop Dogg, is as pushy a parent come September. The rapper's son is joining the UCLA football program as a wide--reciever in the fall. Snoop should be chill given his much-publicized proclivities but there's no guarantee as the musician once had an albu.
