Google's Deepmind Computer Go program AlphaGo is continuously astonishing the world with incredible skill and depth beating the long time World Go Champion Lee Sedol two times in a row.

"Yesterday I was surprised but today it's more than that - I am speechless," said Lee in the post-game press conference. "I admit that it was a very clear loss on my part. From the very beginning of the game I did not feel like there was a point that I was leading."

DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis remarked "I think it's testament to Lee Se-dol's incredible skills,". "We're very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves, according to the commentators, which was amazing to see."

There are three more games to go and Lee has changed his stance from winning all five gaves to at least trying to one game.

DeepMind's AlphaGo program is equipped with an advanced system based on deep neural networks and machine learning.

AlphaGo, already gained victory over the three-time European Go champion Fan Hui over the course of five matches. However, Sedol was 100% confident that he would sweep AlphaGo and considered to be a much harder challenge, having dominated the world of Go for much of his professional career for last decade.

The next game begins Friday at 11 p.m. ET, and fans can watch it live on YouTube. A third win would give victory to AlphaGo in the five-game match and $1 million in prize money, which Google has said it will donate to charity.
