I watched most of the game on the Deepmind Youtube channel. Although I barely know the rules of Go, it was really nice that explained a lot of the strategies, although aside from the basic explanations most of the rest still flew over my head. I was still hooked, though.

However it was infuriating that many times they switched randomly between video feeds, so I couldn't actually see what the commentators were talking about on their board. Once it even got stuck on "Match starts in 0 minutes" for a couple minutes!

I've been finding it pretty unwatcheable. Does anyone know of a version that doesn't have the technical issues? (I'm very happy with the commentary, but the video keeps cutting to this 0 minutes screen and audio is patchy).
Same the "game will start in 0 seconds" thing kept cutting the audio in and out, and obstructing the board footage. Terrible for an uploaded youtube clip. I can understand issues with the live stream. But it's already over. Couldn't someone have edited that out?
Those technical issues were only a problem a few times at the beginning of the broadcast. 99% of the footage is fine, just stick with it. The problems disappear.
True, I skipped an hour in and watched from there and it was (mostly) fine.
