Found this link and thought you all might find it interesting.

Interesting part for me so far:

" At my lab at Microsoft Research Asia, in Beijing, I am organizing a
graduate student project to design the hardware and software elements
that will test the ideas outlined here. If they prove out, then the
way will be clear for a full-scale project to dethrone the best human
players."

Thoughts, comments?

Deep Go anyone?
