#FredinChina: Tencent looks to challenge Apple with cloud-based apps you can use without downloading

At the beginning of the year, a mysterious Go player (the famous Chinese board game) appeared on 2 of the biggest online gaming platforms, Tygem and FoxGo, under the name of "Master". Over the last two days, "Master" has crushed 50 players, including world ranked players from Japan (5th in the world ranking by Go Ratings), South Korean (3rd) and Chinese (1st). This has provoked more than 27,000 discussions, 160 million media impressions and a lot of speculation around the identity of the "Master". Many observers immediately suspected a robot controlled by artificial intelligence but no one knows who would be able to develop it. After the 59th victory against Nie Weiping, a 60-year-old Chinese champion, the "Master" account revealed that he was in fact a researcher of the AlphaGo team.
