His short-cropped hair shows hints of gray, and his face bears the faint lines of someone who has spent years chasing stories. He moves with the practiced ease of a seasoned professional, his hands steady despite the high stakes of the moment.

AlphaGo Operator Would you like additional time to consider your response?
Ke Jie Time won't change what I see here. The game has changed today.
