DESCRIPTION:In 2016 DeepMind astonished the Go world with its superhuman-st
 rength program AlphaGo. I will give a brief history of AlphaGo and discuss
  and its influence on current board game research\, including computer Hex
 . Hex is the connection board game invented by Piet Hein in 1942 and intro
 duced in North America by John Nash around 1949. Our research group at the
  University of Alberta has built strong Hex players and solvers.\n\nCo-spo
