There was one move that literally caused the 9th dan commentator to do a triple-take. It apparently turned out to be super effective.

Not only did the commentator do a triple-take, but the next white move took Sedol about 15 minutes.

One interesting thing that happened during the time for Sedol's next move was that the 9th dan commentator started referring to AlphaGo as "he".

Yeah, I've been noticing the pronouns thing. In chess challenges I always got the impression that the AI's play style was like a chain chomp. Limited, but ruthless within its limits, and definitely 'mechanical'. In these games the commentators are treating AlphaGo like a person.

I might be imagining it, but I think this has been increasing with each game.
