Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 444 443. The opening of the tenth section

"What kind of tea is this? Can you drink it?"

"Can't drink it? Why don't you order me a cup of milk tea? I think it tastes better."

"The tea made by chewing peonies is really good. You don't even look at your figure. No matter how much you drink, you won't know how fat you will be. If you keep getting so fat, it will directly delay your chess game."

"I didn't expect that there is an ancient city here. Is this our first visit to Ying Jie's hometown? Do you want to visit Ying Jie's house after we finish?"

Looking at the people chatting next to him, Ying Jie took a tea cup that seemed to only exist in TV dramas and imitated the posture on TV and took a sip of tea: "Yo..."

Sure enough, I couldn't drink it well, the tea leaves ended up in my mouth.

Looking at the people discussing, Ying Jie couldn't help but complain after spitting the tea leaves in his mouth into the trash can: "This ancient city is all newly built in the past few years. There was no such thing before, like there is These former residences are all made out of nothing, on the ground. There was nothing here when I was a child."

Nowadays, it seems that no matter where they are, they like to rely on some local celebrities to build some kind of cultural ancient city, develop some kind of tertiary industry, integrate culture and tourism, and build [-]% modern buildings without any cultural heritage, or even There are not many merchants inside.

Ying Jie's hometown has also launched a similar tourist attraction. It used to be linked to celebrities from other hometowns, but now Ying Jie's name is included, and it needs to be further promoted based on Go culture.

How should I put it, it feels very strange to see a photo of myself in a room with an antique building and framed with that kind of ancient frame.

Fortunately, the photo is in color, and there is a biography below: 1995-, China's youngest eight-time Go champion. If there was no introduction, tourists who didn't know it would think they were dead.

"Wait a minute, the game seems to be in that pavilion next to it. When I came over yesterday to visit, I found that the plaque on that pavilion was hung up, Shiduan Pavilion.

Before the game even started, the results of the game had already been lent to Ying Jie in advance. We are now playing away from home, so worried, I am so scared. "

Lu Li couldn't help but slap the fan in his hand: "If it were a stadium with thousands of people, I guess all of them would be Ying Jie's fans, shouting crazily to cheer him on and booing us.

At least we can't hear what the audience says during the game, otherwise our hearts would freeze just listening to the audience cheering for Ying Jie. "

"How can a Go game be held in a big stadium like football? It will be so noisy that you won't be able to concentrate on playing chess at all."

"For example, if we can really exclude external conditions and have so many people watch it, it would feel pretty good.

For example, when we played a friendly football match with the women's football team, not many people watched, and the game was not exciting. "

"Forget it, I still feel that it is better if no one is watching. If there are a bunch of people surrounding me, I will feel uncomfortable."

Gu Yi heard the discussion among several people and quickly waved his hand, saying that he was a social fear and was not suitable to play in a crowd, which would completely affect his performance.

"But this must be the first time that you have to get up so early to compete, right? It's just a little over seven in the morning, and the official competition is at eight o'clock. Competitions have never been so early in the past."

Shi Mingzhi couldn't help but glance at his watch. It was just early seven o'clock. Several people had breakfast under the arrangement of the competition and were waiting in this room. They had never gotten up at this time to compete before.

Most games basically start after at least ten o'clock in the morning, and even start at two o'clock in the afternoon. Eight o'clock in the morning is a bit early, and it makes people feel like they haven't woken up.

For this competition, Shi Mingzhi deliberately adjusted his biological clock one month in advance. Otherwise, when he got up at eight o'clock, he would feel like his head was muddled. How could he play well under such circumstances?

"I didn't train much yesterday. I went to bed at eight o'clock for the first time. I haven't slept so early since I graduated from elementary school."

"I'm different. I slept all day long. I didn't prepare anything yesterday. I just recharged my energy for today."

"There is no way. This game has to end within one day. Both sides have four hours of reserve time. It takes eight hours just to use up the reserve time. It starts at eight o'clock and ends at four o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention the countdown later."

"It makes no difference. It won't take that long anyway."

Gu Yi didn't care. He was one of those fast chess players. He played very fast no matter what time he played. Even in a two-hour reserve time game, someone counted down and he still had nearly an hour left.

Regardless of winning or losing, Gu Yi feels that he will be the first player to end the game today.

The main thing is a fast.

"I estimate that if this game is played late, it will probably be played until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. It is a naked battle of physical exhaustion!"

"Anyway, breakfast, lunch and dinner are taken care of. We can ask the waiter to buy us things at any time without worrying about going hungry."

"But the bar here is okay. You can go have a drink after tonight."

Seeing a few people who seemed to be traveling, Ying Jie didn't know what to say.

However, Ying Jie himself was a little surprised that his hometown could actually get the right to host this time. How much blood was shed?

"Hahahaha! I really appreciate your support for our Go game. On behalf of the Chinese Go Association and the vast number of chess fans, I would like to thank all the leaders."

The vice chairman of the Chinese Go Association who came this time smiled and shook hands with the others. The reason why Ying Jie's hometown can host the ten-dan battle this time is because they proposed to use Yingjie's ten-dan battle to build a Go brand image and culture, and After the game, the title battle of "Ten Dan" will be held.

Faced with this kind of sponsor, the Chinese Go Association naturally became more tilted toward the opponent.

After all, Go sponsorship is hard to find these days, and when you find a boss, you have to be careful to support others.

Moreover, for large-scale competitions like this, usually the contract will be signed for more than three years, and the championship bonus will be hundreds of thousands. It is not so easy to find an organizer.

Now that Lang Qingconcubine is in love, the Chinese Chess Association naturally wants it, and they are trying their best to help this side win it.

"In this case, China will change from five major titles to six major titles..."

but……

The five titles of Tianyuan Chess Saint, Great Chess Player, and National Player were completely monopolized by Ying Jie in the first two years. Ying Jie only needs to defeat five challengers every year to continue to monopolize. Now he adds a tenth-dan title. , will it no longer be monopolized by Ying Jie, who is already in the tenth rank?
Isn’t it a bit repetitive to add ten-dan ranks and ten-dan titles?

Or should someone like Ying Jie be banned from participating in a title fight in which he is an honorary representative?

The vice chairman of the Chinese Go Association couldn't help but touch his chin. It seemed that having a really strong chess player was not a good thing. Ying Jie's annual competition bonus now exceeds [-] million, and none of them are First of all, this does not include the game fees and bonuses of the Go League A, which has never happened before in the history of Go.

But correspondingly, the amount of prize money for both Chinese and Korean chess players has dropped significantly, because all the world championship prize money, which has the largest prize money, has been monopolized by Ying Jie alone.

In the past, whenever someone could win the world championship, the bonus would be around 200 million. Now, the income of the biggest player has been lost. The biggest player’s income has become the runner-up in the world, but compared to the champion, he is the national talent champion. level.

Therefore, with the exception of top chess players except Ying Jie, the bonus income alone may just exceed one million per year, less than 200 million.

The two major world chess tournaments in South Korea have not yet been cancelled. They are continuing to be held. Except that one of them has corresponding commercial value in China, it can continue to be held purely for the sake of face.

After all, if South Korea never cancels the World Series, it can really be declared that Go will become a completely closed-door game for each country.

But even so, many organizers are considering cutting the prize money for the champion and increasing part of the prize money for other rankings to motivate other players.

"Even if Ying Jie starts to decline now at the age of 28, it will take ten years... ten years..."

The vice president of Chinese Go is a little worried about whether Korean Go can last another ten years.

At that time, China endured ten years in the cold wind, and only won one world championship in the entire ten years. It can be said to be the darkest era of Chinese Go. Later, it slowly reached Guangyin 90th Dan, Lu Li and others. This generation began to have the power to resist. It was not until the generation born in the [-]s that they completely sounded the clarion call for counterattack. Until today, they have completely suppressed South Korea, making South Korea feel the despair of China back then.

But China can sustain despair because Go is a traditional Chinese culture that cannot be abandoned. Whether South Korea can sustain it is really hard to say.

"Success deserves excellence, failure deserves excellence."

The vice chairman of the Chinese Chess Association couldn't help but sigh. Without Ying Jie, Chinese Go would not have been able to suppress South Korea so quickly. At the same time, it would not have been so popular and gained so much attention, but at the same time, it would have truly suppressed the game. It has become a generation's shadow.

"The game is about to start, so let's go over there first. We need you all to take the stage to speak soon."

"it is good."

It is almost customary for someone to speak before a major competition. Whether it is China, Japan, Korea or other places, they will also interview chess players about their thoughts. Of course, the questions are basically all nonsense.

For example, ask Ying Jie if he is confident today.

Ying Jie couldn't answer no, right? He could at most have a high emotional intelligence and say, everyone is very strong, and I will work hard.

However, Ying Jie generally does not have such a high emotional intelligence: "The tenth-level plaques have already been put up. They are hung so high that it is difficult for me to get them down even though I am 1.8 meters tall, so it is better to win."

The on-site host will not only ask questions related to the competition, but also involve other aspects. It is common for the host to ask embarrassing questions, such as about their love life, but they deliberately ask provocative questions about some players from other countries. The problem is not something that does not exist.

For example, at the opening ceremony of the Korean Times World Series, only the host asked China's top newcomer to go home and think about when he could become the world's top player.

However, such embarrassing questions would certainly not be asked in internal competitions in China. After the speeches and question-and-answer session, there was still some time left for the six contestants to enter a pavilion under the guidance of the staff.

The pavilion was in the shape of a pentagon, with a chessboard placed at each corner. Lu Li and the others also found their own places to sit down, while Ying Jie stood in the center. There were chairs at each corresponding position. Convenient to sit down and rest.

As the bell rang nearby, everyone knew that the game had officially begun.

Ying Jie took his time and guessed with the five people one by one, and then started the official game.

Because the retention time reaches four hours, which is something that most games don't have, so even at the beginning, most people don't play very quickly. Instead, they think carefully about every move. However, there is only one exception.

Gu Yi [-]th Dan.

Gu Yi is the kind of chess player who plays chess very quickly. He is a fast player who often plays chess before the reserve time has been used up, or even half of it is used up.

Therefore, generally in the Go League A, Gu Yi will sit on the fast chess table and maintain a good winning rate.

Although Gu Yi plays fast, he can be said to be the most successful player among Chinese chess players in imitating Ying Jie's opening moves. He even had a [-]-[-] draw with Ying Jie in the first [-] moves in a game. There is no distinction between top and bottom.

"What's the use of starting so slowly now? I've already formulated a strategy at the beginning."

Gu Yi glanced at the few pieces on the chessboard of the other four people sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile, and placed a piece on the chessboard.

After Ying Jie got off from the other side, he walked to Gu Yi's position and raised his glasses strangely.

"Mi Dao?"

Black's No. 13 flying move was a very straightforward invitation to use the flying knife. Gu Yi directly wanted to play this large flying knife opening with himself.

"Happy." Seeing Ying Jie smiling, Gu Yi couldn't help but smile confidently.

This is your own policy!
Ever since this flying knife was released by Ying Jie, the previous No. 1 in the world, Gao Yongxia, can be said to be the number one enemy and the biggest dead soul under this flying knife.

At the same time, it has also triggered countless people to study this flying knife. Up to now, this flying knife has undergone countless changes.

However, due to the extremely complex changes, it is easy to make a wrong step and directly kill someone.

So few people will use it easily.

But Gu Yi just used it, and he used it in front of Ying Jie, the first person to use this flying knife.

Gu Yi dared to do this, so he naturally had his own inner calculations.

If he wants to start at a [-]-[-] level with Ying Jie and drag it to the middle game, there is still some hope. However, the problem is that after entering the middle game, Gu Yi is obviously not as good as Ying Jie in terms of strength and various aspects. When everything was not fixed, it was easy for Ying Jie to grab a spot and beat him hard.

But the Mi's flying knife is different. This flying knife is not only complex and abnormal, but more importantly, it is huge.

Normally, if this flying knife is used up, basically a quarter of the chessboard will be gone.

It can be said that if a Mi Dao can complete the move normally, most of the chessboard will have no space to play.

This was also Gu Yi's plan, to fill up the chessboard with this large and complex formula and compress the space. By compressing the space, Ying Jie's performance could be restricted.

This is the tactic I devised after much thought.

Ying Jie himself knew Gu Yi's tactics very well, because later chess players had already used this method to deal with artificial intelligence.

One is that Mi Dao, an artificial intelligence with relatively low computing power, has some changes that cannot be calculated clearly. Even a large-scale artificial intelligence will honestly follow Mi Dao, and after everyone has played a few parts, the chess game will be almost filled. In this limited situation, artificial intelligence can be restricted to perform some outrageous feats.

"But I can change my tactics..."

As a young man, I have never been a martial artist. I lied and attacked sneakily!
However, Ying Jie still moved to another place to play the game first. After all, he was not facing Gu Yi alone today, but a total of five people.

If among these five people, who Ying Jie values ​​​​the most, at least at this stage, it must be Shi Mingzhi [-]th Dan.

As Shi Mingzhi, who briefly reached the top spot in China, if Ying Jie had not come out of nowhere, he would have been able to hold the top spot in China for at least a while.

But even after Ying Jie came out, Shi Mingzhi still firmly occupied the second position in China for a long time, especially in the middle game. He was extremely powerful and had defeated many opponents with extremely obvious advantages. bureau.

"The black chess piece misses the worry-free corner of the small eye."

"White Chess Star Xiaomu."

"Shi Mingzhi immediately put it up, Ying Jiejian, Shi Mingzhi split two, Yingjie came out some time ago, a more popular layout recently."

"Ying Jie clicked three-three at the top. After the two people finished walking in the upper left corner, Shi Mingzhi basically became the Chinese stream below."

Xiao Xiao, who was watching the game outside, couldn't help but sigh: "Popular has really come around in circles. Except for point three and three, the start of this set is a bit retro."

This time the game is held in a newly built ancient city tourist area in Ying Jie's hometown. For this competition today, this ancient tourist city was specially closed. Although not many people would come here to visit, but There are five large chess boards set up outside the ancient city, and the five games are specially set up for people to enjoy. By the way, you can check in, take photos, and collect stamps to exchange for prizes.

However, those who can understand Go are only a small number after all. Most tourists basically come here with their children to get stamps and grab a few barrels of oil.

Of course, a small number of chess fans came all the way to witness the birth of the world's first [-]th-dan chess player.

"Shi Mingzhi clicked in!"

Seeing the move below, Ying Jie lay down on the chair. Shi Mingzhi's move was prepared, using offense instead of defense. If he followed the pressure, Shi Mingzhi would either have nothing on all four lines, or else he would still be in danger. It's definitely not possible to remove the sides.

Da Fei or Xiao Fei?This is a relatively common way to get ahead.

Or jumped to the top?
The difference shouldn't be big.

At the beginning of the game, there are a lot of points on the chessboard, and the winning rates of most of the points are not very different. This also makes many players think about where they should play.

"Since you are so aggressive, I will overwhelm you."

Move No. 17, black chess, two high traps.

Cugu Yun was sitting on a stone bench outside the scenic area. He looked at the situation on the big chessboard at the entrance of the scenic area and said silently: "This move is rare. I have seen it after dividing a room on the right. Ying Jie started to see I didn’t intend to take the normal route with Shi Mingzhi when I got up.”

In order to show support for Yingjie, all six players from the lower circle and the circle came to the scene to support since there has been no competition recently.

As a member of the national team, Xiao Xiao not only knows the opponent well, but also knows several other people very well, so he naturally made a judgment: "Shi Mingzhi obviously also put a lot of effort into the opening, and the gap in the first [-] moves It shouldn’t be too big.”

Xia Yingying took the roasted sweet potato she bought from the side and said vaguely while burning her mouth: "What method do you think Shi Mingzhi will use?"

Many Yangyang thought for a while and said: "Shi Mingzhi is best at killing chess, but if the middle game is purely a competition of strength, as long as he does not have an absolute advantage, it will be almost impossible to defeat Ying Jie later."

Xiao Xiao took a sip of tea from the glass: "My point is to win in chaos and rob."

Xia Yingying heard this and said in disbelief: "Can you survive the robbery?"

Who doesn't know that Yingjie should be worthy of calamity, and ten thousand calamities should not be worthy of it.

Even when Ying Jie was not at his most terrifying peak, he had defeated opponents stronger than him several times, all by relying on his calamity skills.

It can be said that Jie Zheng is one of Ying Jie's outstanding strengths among the hexagonal warriors.

"Normally you can't do it. Didn't we try Tenda's recent artificial intelligence test? That AI is already relatively strong, but there are still problems in dealing with some big life-and-death issues. As long as the situation is complicated to a certain extent. , Ying Jie can’t completely figure it out.”

Manyangyang couldn't help but nodded. There were nineteen ways to play Go. The changes were too complicated. In theory, some positions were impossible to calculate clearly.

Even if the AI ​​of later generations develops to the level of exquisite art, in some extreme and complex situations, it will be difficult for the AI ​​to figure it out immediately, and even ignore some selection points.

Not to mention human flesh and blood. As long as the situation is complicated to a certain extent, there will always be times when the calculation is unclear.

"He can't figure out the opponent, let alone the opponent."

Listening to the words of the people next to her, Lu Jingjing, who was accompanying the host as the host, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. As an amateur among a group of professional players in a difficult situation, she could understand, but not much.

No.20 three moves, black, sharp!

"Block me directly and ask me to make up the moves?"

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Shi Mingzhi silently calculated it in his mind. In fact, he had gained something. In theory, Feijiao must be the first impression, and it is definitely a good chess piece.

But there is no doubt that this is the next step Ying Jie hopes he will take.

If he just followed the pace that Ying Jie wanted from the beginning, he would make the same mistakes as before.

This time the game is different. Although it is an unfair game for Ying Jie, it may be the only chance to compete with Ying Jie, so he must work hard!

No.20 four moves, white chess, clip!

"Want to abandon your son and surround Kong Kong?"

Ying Jie also quickly grasped Shi Mingzhi's thoughts. As an old rival, Shi Mingzhi, China's No. [-] player, was more concerned about Qi Yingjie. In other words, both of them understood each other's thoughts better.

After all, there is no second child who doesn’t want to be the boss, and no boss who doesn’t want to torture the second child to death.

There is no doubt that since Shi Mingzhi chose not to make amends, Ying Jie will definitely take away Shi Mingzhi's corner base, but even so, the two white stones in the corner are still alive, and the two sides will form a chaotic battle in the corner. .

This is probably what Shi Mingzhi had in mind during this game. He was always ready to lead the chess game into the most complex situation and try to see if he could win out of chaos.

"Then let's see how your power is."

Looking at the chess piece in the lower right corner, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but say: "After pulling the chess piece, the elephant will fly. This is a common way to deal with the Chinese flow."

For people of their generation, Chinese style is so familiar that it can be said to be a layout engraved in their bones.

If it weren't for Ying Jie's sudden emergence, China Style would probably still be popular now.

Seeing that she finally understood the situation, Lu Jingjing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and added: "I know this, I have read it in the book, dealing with the Chinese stream, and that one is definitely a trap."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao and several others looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"That's the theory, and it's actually said in the book."

"But actually in this game, if you want to play on the right, it will probably be broken."

Hearing this, Lu Jingjing was stunned for a moment. No, the book clearly said it was a trap: "Can't it be broken after being beaten?"

"It's very simple. If White wants to capture, Black will attack White and then stick to it. At this time, when Black cuts off, it looks like White is in a dilemma. There is a capture at the top and a double capture at the bottom.

But if it really goes like this, White will fall into Black's trap. "

"As long as White chooses to stick and Black captures on top, White can rush out directly. The wrench cannot bear it and has to grow. If White comes out again, the lower part will be empty directly."

"This is a huge gap."

Lu Jingjing couldn't help but gulp as she listened to the chatter of the people next to her: "Did you just calculate this within ten seconds? Did you calculate so many steps?"

When Cugu Yun heard this, he said as a matter of course: "Absolutely. This change is very intuitive and can be seen at a glance."

"If Ying Jie can calculate, he will definitely be faster, or he can calculate farther than us."
