I don't think AGA had the rights to stream and comment this match.

Where did you find this 9p AGA commentary? I don't see it in the list of AGA videos on youtube.

It was live streamed and the archive is now up on The Official AGA Youtube Channel at: AlphaGo ?p vs Lee Sedol 9p, 0400 UTC (8pm PST)[1]

Many thanks! I checked their youtube channel many times during the game, hoping they would cast this, as I found the Redmond commentary a little too shallow.

I don't understand how the AGA live stream didn't appear there for me?!

It took them an hour or two before they even got started, so you might not have checked late enough in the match.
Thanks for the link. Myungwan Kim's commentary is superb, am I the only one thinking the american guy speaks a bit too much though?
It can be hard to bite your tongue when you see the other (non-native) speaker struggling for words...

Andrew Jackson's role is invaluable in clarifying MyungWan Kim's thoughts: the infamously opaque "play this one, and then this one", or his white/black colour mix ups...

I personally think they're a good combo. Andrew is getting gradually better at only jumping in when necessary.

I don't mind Andrew. He's a strong player in his own right so he has questions a strong amateur would have.

He inevitably asks questions you want Myungwan to answer.

Andrew is an awesome polite guy, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he was doing the right thing there.
