Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 109 108. National Team Selection
The Sino-Japanese Ahan Kiriyama Cup qualifiers officially opened.

More than 100 professional players and several amateur players who stood out from the online preliminary selection all gathered in the Chinese Chess Academy.

A total of 120 eight chess players will participate in a four-day single-elimination competition here. In the end, only eight can successfully advance, and continue to compete with the eight top players who will directly enter this competition.

In the hall of the Chinese Chess Academy.

It is still the usual leadership speech session for each large-scale game, but the China-Japan Ahan Kiriyama Cup is a national competition, and this time it should be that all leaders related to Go will basically gather together.

The relevant responsible director of the General Administration of Sports, the president of the Chess Academy, the main association of the Chess Association, and the local leaders of the capital city all delivered speeches respectively.

There were almost two or three hundred people sitting in the audience including the contestants, but Ying Jie and the others were completely overwhelmed among the hundreds of people in the audience.

"The top strengths of Chinese Go are here."

Xiao Xiao glanced around, and the people who can enter this competition are basically the top [-] or so in terms of ratings.

And when it comes to the top [-] ranks, even if they are not nine-dan, they all have the strength of nine-dan level, and the whole venue seems to be full of nine-dan.

Xiao Xiao estimates his own level. In this competition, he can win one game within his ability, win two games with extreme luck, and win three Arabian Nights games.

The first round was better, but in the second round, there is a high probability that you will encounter a big boss with a rank of [-], [-] or [-].

This is the horror of the national competition.

Grandmasters who are rare to see on weekdays all go out like Chinese cabbage.

"Are you confident?"

Xiao Xiao asked Ying Jie next to him.

I definitely have no chance, Ying Jie, maybe he can create a miracle and enter this competition.

Ying Jie just nodded: "Do your best."

To be honest, even with Ying Jie's strength and a start that surpasses the times, almost every game has a time when the opponent's winning rate is suppressed to 0%.

But Go is not a game based on winning percentage, but on the final result.

In the era of AI, many chess fans will scold Shaozi as soon as they see the drop in winning rate.

If the winning rate reaches 100% and you will be overthrown by the opponent, that is simply heinous, playing shit is not as good as playing chess?It should be dragged out and killed.

But only the two sides of the game know that under the pressure of complex mid-table calculations and countdown, no one can guarantee that every step of their own is correct.

Even AI that has been updated for several generations has calculation errors, let alone human beings with flesh and blood.

In the previous life, the top chess players in the world rank lost countless good games.

Ying Jie never thought that once he gained an advantage at the beginning, he would be able to win 100% of the time.

To quote a sentence, saying that you have a 100% winning rate in front of so many excellent chess players is a matter of overreach.

Only 95% at most.

"What are you thinking?"

Looking at the pensive Cuckoo Yun, Ying Jie asked a little strangely.

After coming in just now, Cuckoo Yun glanced at so many people around him, fell into a strange thought, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"I'm thinking……"

In the middle of speaking, Cuckoo Yun glanced at his father who was not far away from him, and swallowed what he wanted to say.

It's too dangerous to complain casually in public, let's talk about it later.

But although Cuckoo swallowed his words, he said mysteriously, "I'll tell you a piece of gossip."

"what news?"

Ying Jie already knew that Cuckoo Yun's family was a member of the system engaged in sports-related work, so compared to people like himself who had no channels at all, he often received some rumors in advance.

"The selection of this year's national team will start soon."

"The national team!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

You must know that in the world of chess, the model of the national Go team is China's first initiative. In this world, China is the only country that has a national Go team.

Even in the previous life, South Korea did not start to learn lessons until it was completely defeated in 2013, and only then did it start to form a national Go team.

As for Fusang, the World Championships are not going to be held, and it just sucks. What kind of national Go team is there.

Foreign Go is low-key, but our Fusang Go pays attention to the way, and the beauty of the chess shape is the right way.It doesn't matter whether we win or not, anyway, our domestic competitions are more important than international competitions!
China's national Go team is divided into three categories, the youth group, the women's group, and the youth group. The registration requirements for each group are different.

Youth Group:
1. Those with the latest grade score of 2360 (inclusive) or above, no age limit.

2、1991年1月1日（含）后出生，最新等级分2240（含）以上者。

Women's Team:
1. Those who were born after January 1992, 1 and have a professional rank.

2、1979年1月1日后出生、最新等级分2200以上者。

3. The 2008 women's siege teams registered players.

Junior Team:
1. Those who were born after January 1993, 1 and have a professional rank.

The national team adopts the tradition of concentrating on big things, helping the top chess players entering the national team to carry out collective training, psychological counseling, physical exercise and logistical support, and help the players to improve their abilities quickly to the greatest extent.

But even the entry requirements for the youth group of the national team are extremely loose, and the requirements for grades are only the initial grades of the first stage.

It is precisely because of this that even chess players who are of the same age as the National Junior Team will participate in the selection of the national team. After all, the players and all the resources of the two groups are completely different.

Once in the national team, all your bragging objects become world champions.

But although the registration requirements are loose, those who can be really selected are all top chess players.

"So how many people are selected this year?"

Cuckoo Yun seems to have inquired about the news a long time ago: "It is said that it is an eight-round round-robin competition, and the selection is based on the results.

According to the pre-match rules, the top three players in each group will definitely be shortlisted for the national Go team.

But how many chess players will be selected to join the national team seems to be very ambiguous. According to the head coach, a group of players should be selected after a comprehensive evaluation based on the performance of other games. "

Looking at the two people who nodded, Bu Guyun had already guessed what they were thinking: "Are you all planning to join the National Youth Team?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Cuckoo Yun was a little helpless. After losing a few games, his rating directly dropped below the issue price.

The 2240 points required by the National Youth Team did not meet the standard, so I could only sign up for the National Youth Team.

……

No, Xia Yingying's grade seems to be enough to sign up?

He had to find a way to fool her into getting beaten.

The leader was speaking on the stage, and the following were whispering in twos and threes. The time soon came to the exciting card drawing session.

Xiao Xiao glanced at the numbered ball in his hand, and the chess player who drew a number connected to his own couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Four paragraphs, it's okay."

Xiao Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't draw nine dans right away, and winning a game is a game.

And Ying Jie glanced at the No. [-] ball in his hand, and was also waiting for who is his opponent?

"Liu Jingxing Jiuduan, what number did you get?
number two! "
