The Future of Go Summit

On May 23-27, 2017 the "Future of Go Summit" was held in Wuzhen, China. It featured a 3-game match between AlphaGo and Ke Jie, a pairgo match between Gu Li + AlphaGo against Lian Xiao + AlphaGo, and a teamgo match between a team consisting of Chen Yaoye, Zhou Ruiyang, Mi Yuting, Shi Yue, and Tang Weixing against AlphaGo.

Match with Ke Jie

AlphaGo won 3-0.

Pairgo

The pairgo game was won by Lian Xiao + AlphaGo. The AlphaGo part of the losing team suggested to resign, but Gu Li refused at first, and agreed only when AlphaGo made the same suggestion a second time, some moves later.

At the end the pro team played a tricky move in order to perhaps gain one or two points. AlphaGo generously gave them much more - it was so far ahead that that made no difference. The reaction:

50 selfplay games

DeepMind published 50 more self-play games by AlphaGo, the first 10 on 2017-05-27, the other 40 on 2017-05-28.
