I wonder why Ke Jie is not playing there? Or is he preparing for the match
against AlphaGo, despite I don't have any current info, if that match occurs at all?

It seems more likely that the AlphaGo match against Ke Jie will happen first before a super match between AlphaGo and FineArt happens, the AlphaGo team hasn't responded yet.

I see now, after some research, that Ke Jie was in hospital in January and that the match was postponed due to this (at least if my infos are reliable).

But this ought to be considered to be the wrong forum. Is go a derivative of chess?
Or this forum should be called Computer Games Club.

If THIS is allowed, I would prefer to post many other things in this forum which i know not to.

Well, Go is close enough to Chess that major events in computer Go could be of some interest to the computer-Chess community. So I don't think that one thread about it is out of place here. If it doesn't interest you, just don't read it.

If you have news about major events involving AIs for two-player zero-sum games with perfect information, you are more than welcome to post them here, as far as I am concerned.

Zen finally won 1 games on the 3 rounds.
Video for the 3rd round : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MtJV-uTPDo
At the end the commentator points that Zen is stronger than the recent version he tested (new version ? more power ?) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MtJV-uTPDo&t=6h44m34s
