Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

"Why do you want to play chess all of a sudden?"

Ying Jie looked at the chess room in Gao Yongxia's house, and glanced at Gao Yongxia who was sitting opposite him drinking with a red face.

Then he saw Lu Li, who was sitting on the side, swaying and looking like he was about to fall down, but was still clamoring to be the referee. He was completely lost in thought.

Why do we suddenly want to play chess? Weren't we just eating barbecue? What am I here for?
Wasn't it enough for me to just come and lay flowers when I was invited?
The price for playing chess is not this high!

Ying Jie dragged his head, which had drunk two kilograms of wine, to recall what had happened before, and couldn't help feeling a slight pain in his head.

When Gao Yongxia retired, Ying Jie was invited as a mysterious guest to present flowers to Gao Yongxia and congratulate her on her successful retirement.

How to say it, although Ying Jie really wants to complain, he is one of the biggest retributions for Gao Yongxia in the second half of his career.

All the things that Gao Yongxia had done to slap others in the face were finally hit back at him by Ying Jie one by one.

After all, Gao Yongxia, who had a smooth and pretentious first half of his life, encountered various obstacles one after another after meeting Ying Jie at the end of his career.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Ying Jie is Gao Yongxia's nemesis.

After all, the old king, Gao Yongxia, was used as a staircase by the new king.

A round trip.

Hit by a flying knife.

Lost in the final.

It's hard to win.

Being slapped in the face by a junior.

Perhaps only at this moment did Gao Yongxia feel the same way. Was this how those seniors who were slapped in the face by him when he first debuted felt?

I actually did something so outrageous?
Ugh……

If I could do it again...

I must fight harder! I will get my comeuppance when I get old anyway! So I should try to have more fun while I am young!
So arranging for Ying Jie to present flowers to Gao Yongxia always felt like a deliberate slap in his face.

After all, Ying Jie is Gao Yongxia’s dark history in his later years.

Ying Jie didn't want to come at first, after all, he had to take a plane to South Korea.

In particular, the South Korean authorities also hope that Ying Jie will participate in Gao Yongxia's retirement friendly match.

Ying Jie always felt that the other party had bad intentions. Was it a friendly match? Did you just want to disgust him before he retired?

However, the Korean Chess Institute has communicated with the Chinese officials many times, and they do not require Ying Jie to participate in any friendly matches in the future. He only needs to show up on site, and he will also be paid an appearance fee.

It’s not that Ying Jie is greedy for the two dollars!

The main reason is that as Gao Yongxia was the former world number one and a highly respected senior, Ying Jie felt that he had an obligation to see him off!
After all, Gao Yongxia is also one of the milestones for Ying Jie to reach the top of the world.

It definitely has nothing to do with the fact that the Korean Chess Institute offered to pay more money after knowing that Ying Jie was unwilling to come!
It doesn’t matter at all!

When Gao Yongxia saw Ying Jie come out, her face fell for a moment, but she smiled and took the flowers, and the two of them thanked each other.

Gao Yongxia expressed that he was sincerely pleased to see that there are successors to his successors, and that world Go is thriving. He also hoped that Ying Jie could recover soon and return to the professional arena.

After the brief interview, Gao Yongxia and Lu Li took one last photo together under the camera of the reporter, and the retirement ceremony that lasted for several days finally came to an end.

Originally, there was only Gao Yongxia, Lu Li and Gao Yongxia's brother attending the party in the evening, but now Ying Jie has joined the party.

The gathering place chosen by Gao Yongxia was very Korean, with barbecue buffet and free beer.

Korean barbecue can be said to be a type of cuisine that is particularly popular among the Korean people. This can be seen from Korean dramas, where many of the protagonists' companies hold team building events in barbecue restaurants.

Even in Korea, BBQ buffet can be said to be a luxury, because Korea is indeed relatively short of material things. In addition, whether it is Korean beef or Wagyu beef, the price has reached a level that the working class needs to enjoy a snack to eat.

There is no way. Because of the small land area in South Korea and Japan, it is difficult to raise vegetables or meat.

South Korea is doing okay when it comes to vegetables. Although there is a huge demand for kimchi, South Korea is still able to import cabbage from Shandong, China to make kimchi because it is across the sea from Shandong.

However, meat is basically all imported, and with the local protection subsidy policy, it would be a miracle if the price did not rise.

Forget beef, even pork belly is terribly expensive.

So someone said before that if a Korean comes to China, and you take him to a Korean barbecue buffet, he will treat you as his brother.

Because in his opinion you are definitely spending a huge amount of money to treat him to this meal.

Gao Yongxia is like this now. Ying Jie is not worthy of this standard, but Lu Li is qualified! This is his real lifelong enemy!
After drinking two glasses of beer, Gao Yongxia immediately started to change his drink and then started fighting with Lu Li. Lu Li then pulled Ying Jie into the fight.

Gao Yongxia and Lu Li are both alcoholics to some extent, and they have even used trophies to hold wine and drink it.

What’s quite funny is that when they first started drinking, Lu Li asked Gao Yongxia who he thought was the best Go player right now.

Gao Yongxia said with a smile that Ying Jie must be the winner now, and he should be ranked second, with Lu Li about third.

As for other people like Choi Ze, Gao Yongxia didn't even mention it, and it was not even an option at all.

But after drinking two kilograms of wine, Gao Yongxia's tone immediately changed, saying that he was the best in the world! Ying Jie was born too late and didn't meet me at my best!
If Ying Jie had been born five or ten years earlier, he would have been well educated here when he was young!

Don't tell me you can definitely beat me now! Even if you kill all my big dragons, I still won't give in!
wrong!

I just don't agree! Let's play the next round now!

As they talked, drank and ate, Ying Jie was still in a daze and hadn't figured out the situation yet. He didn't know why he was at Gao Yongxia's house.

Then, under the instigation of Lu Li, Ying Jie started to fight with Gao Yongxia for some unknown reason.

Ying Jie had just finished recalling when he found that Gao Yongxia had made his move directly.

Gao Yongxia did not guess who would go first, but directly opened the box next to him and made his move, playing black first.

Ying Jie didn't have any objection. According to Chinese rules, the black player would be at a great disadvantage, and the Korean rules were not much better.

Ying Jie picked up a white piece and immediately placed it on the star position on the diagonal.

Gao Yongxia didn't hesitate at all and took the third step directly by clicking on Ying Jie's three threes.

But the overall process is that each side stands in two corners, and then both sides point three times to each other as a sign of respect.

This can be said to be the most standard opening in this era. There are even many games where all four corners are three-three.

After simply shaping the piece in the corner, Ying Jie, who had the first move, glanced at the chessboard, yawned, and directly placed his piece on the small eye in the lower right corner.

When facing a high hanging small eye, the simplest thing to do is to retreat.

However, Gao Yongxia was obviously well prepared, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and took a step that was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

A low room.

Seeing this, Ying Jie couldn't help scratching his neck. This part was clipped low. What tricks was Gao Yongxia planning to play?
However, Ying Jie didn't care too much about it. Not to mention whether Gao Yongxia came prepared or not, even if he lost a lot of money at the beginning, he could make it back later.

You know, Gao Yongxia, this stubborn guy, is playing against me.

If Ying Jie had not issued the flying knife invitation, Ying Jie would have suspected that Gao Yongxia would still fight him with the flying knife.

But now Gao Yongxia shouldn't be fooled so easily anymore.

After all, after the emergence of artificial intelligence, everyone is familiar with Mi Dao’s correct answer and the most normal and common changes.

Not to mention that Gao Yongxia is the most direct and most persecuted victim of Mi Dao in this world.
When Gao Yongxia saw Ying Jie approaching San San, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her flushed face.

Black chess, Xiaofei!
Ying Jie didn't think and rushed out, otherwise he would be easily blocked by Gao Yongxia.

Gao Yongxia didn't hesitate at all and pressed forward directly.

After taking a look at the changes on the field, Ying Jie couldn't help but touch his head.

Gao Yongxia's low room seems to have never been changed before.

There is no way around it. Even though Ying Jie has outstanding computers and a strong memory, it is impossible for him to handle all the changes in artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence has no endless variations, and it is even more impossible for Ying Jie to have endless variations.

Otherwise, the amount of memory data alone would be enough to burn Ying Jie's brain clean, and he wouldn't even have to worry about taking care of himself.

Ying Jie remembered that there should have been some of them displayed here, but because they were so rare, he basically didn't pay much attention to them, so they were not displayed later?

Do you want to calculate it?

But it’s too troublesome to calculate it, and I don’t want to use my brain.

Ying Jie looked at the situation in front of him, feeling drunk and sleepy. He yawned and didn't bother to think, and just picked it up.

Just play it casually. It doesn't matter if you lose points. Just consider it as a bonus for Gao Yongxia at the beginning of the game.

Seeing this, Gao Yongxia laughed out loud: "You haven't played chess with artificial intelligence for a long time, right?
You won't do this, right? I'm telling you, this AI has directly dropped 20 points for you!"

Seeing Gao Yongxia laughing, Lu Li, who was drowsy beside him, suddenly became much more awake.

"Ah? Did you lose out on this one?"

Lu Li took a look at the local changes and didn't feel anything obvious.

After all, there are only a few pieces at the beginning, and it is difficult to see where the difference lies.

Gao Yongxia nodded confidently upon hearing this: "It's a big loss. According to the AI, the correct move should be to retreat one."

Seeing Gao Yongxia's confident expression, Lu Li suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't use artificial intelligence much?"

Hearing this, Gao Yongxia was slightly stunned.

Since the emergence of artificial intelligence, Gao Yongxia has expressed dissatisfaction more than once, saying that chess players now rely on artificial intelligence every day, and the layout is the same over and over again and there is no meaning at all.

Originally, everyone was exploring the unknown, but now the fun of exploring the unknown has been lost and it has become a monotonous recitation.

Gao Yongxia also said that he did not need artificial intelligence training, which directly led to Gao Yongxia being beaten repeatedly by young people.

There is no way. With the advent of artificial intelligence, the layout is updated faster and faster.

There are new layout routines coming out all the time, and everyone is also trying new things.

If Gao Yongxia doesn't learn, you won't be able to learn new things, and the game won't be much better even if you don't start with a chain. It will be very difficult to make up for it later.

Originally, there were only a few routines that were used over and over again at the beginning, but now it is completely different.

But Gao Yongxia said at this time that he had used artificial intelligence.

Boomerang?
Are you secretly using artificial intelligence?

Hearing Lu Li's words and the look in his eyes, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but cough twice.

Cough cough cough...

"I just wanted to play some flying knives locally, and used artificial intelligence to check some strange selections to see if there was anything fun to do there."

Gao Yongxia did study flying knives specifically, but he had never used artificial intelligence to arrange other common layouts.

But he never threw these flying knives in the normal layout, he just kept them to see if there was a chance to meet Ying Jie in private.

How should I put it? Gao Yongxia has never taken any advantage of Ying Jie since Ying Jie made his debut.

Every time I wanted to teach the younger generation a lesson, I ended up being taught a lesson by them.

He was even hit by the same flying knife many times in a row, and his whole body was torn into pieces.

Gao Yongxia held his breath in his heart, "Flying knife, right? I'll study a flying knife myself! I'll give you a hard blow when the time comes!"

Let you know what flying knife means, goodbye flying knife!

Today, Gao Yongxia finally got what he wanted. As for whether Ying Jie on the other side was drunk or not, it didn't matter!
The important thing is that he was stabbed!
After so many years! I finally got my revenge! I feel so happy just thinking about it!
"It's okay, it's okay, just keep going, it's no big deal."

Ying Jie didn't take it to heart at all. This amount of loss was not enough to warrant giving up the lead. It was that simple.

Looking at Ying Jie's attitude, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but curl his lips: "Then continue."

Originally Gao Yongxia wanted Ying Jie to regret his move, but since you said so, I must teach you a lesson.

Isn't it true that you don't lose a single game?
I'm going to make you lose this time!

Thinking of this, Gao Yongxia felt that he had held back a burst of energy! He directly took away the corner land in the lower right corner.

"Just come up?"

Ying Jie thought that Gao Yongxia would simply jump out when facing his double-team, but he didn't expect that he would actually think of coming up to him for help.

Yes, Ying Jie feels that this is definitely an option for artificial intelligence.

Gao Yongxia was really well prepared in this area.

However, Ying Jie did not care too much about it. The closest thing humans can get to artificial intelligence is at the beginning of the game, but the most difficult part to learn is from the beginning to the middle game, and from the middle game to the endgame.

Human beings’ computing power is beyond our control!

But I'm different!
I am no longer a human being!
But just after Ying Jie pulled him up, Gao Yongxia rubbed his face.

This is all I have studied on this aspect, and I cannot remember all the subsequent changes.

Gao Yongxia took a look at the shape in the lower right corner and realized that he would be pushed out sooner or later, so he had to make some preparations in advance.

Thinking of this, Gao Yongxia chose to push down in the middle, preferring a more practical approach.

Seeing this step, Ying Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, and then immediately stuck to it.

Ying Jie is very sensitive to changes in thickness.

Ying Jie can be sure that Gao Yongxia’s move is definitely not an option for artificial intelligence, or he has gone off the track.

But what he didn't expect was that such a big problem would arise in the first step of going off the track.

What Ying Jie can be sure of is that after he sticks to this piece, the rich flavor of this piece will play a very important role later on.

And another important thing is that Gao Yongxia really learned to cook very quickly.

The 20 points of winning rate that Gao Yongxia earned by throwing the flying knife at the beginning of the game were lost in just two steps.

No matter how much Gao Yongxia prepared, he could not control the situation at the end.

Gao Yongxia seemed to realize that there were some problems with his move, but he didn't care and immediately launched a strong attack on Ying Jie's white dragon on the left.

But as it rained, Ying Jie's drunkenness and sleepiness began to slowly subside.

Ying Jie himself didn't expect that he could sober up while playing chess.

I don't even want to be so sober and fight with Gao Yongxia. It's really too bullying.

Ying Jie himself could feel that every move he made was absolutely well chosen, and he directly started the dimensionality reduction attack mode.

White chess, click!

Seeing this, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but start rubbing his hair.

This point hit the nail on the head, and even made Gao Yongxia feel a little melancholy.

Ying Jie's move is obviously a brilliant move to deal with the isolated piece, which can be done very beautifully. It is also the move that Gao Yongxia has particularly wanted to make in recent years.

How should I put it? Gao Yongxia always believed that he was very talented and was the best at chess.

But sometimes you have to admit that after the age of 30, you just start to fail at some things.

Whether it is your strength or the talent that you were once proud of, it seems that they will slowly disappear with the passage of time.

Gao Yongxia himself could obviously feel it, and even felt it a few years ago.

Generally speaking, my strength has not changed. Although it has declined, it is still in a stable period. If Ying Jie is excluded, I can even reach the finals in the current professional competitions. Anyone can win.

Gao Yongxia is sure that if he maintains high-intensity training, no one will dare to guarantee that they can defeat him.

But Gao Yongxia had an inexplicable feeling that his knife was rusty.

Although it was still a peerless sword, its interior began to decay.

It seems indestructible, but it can no longer make a stunning swing.

The reason for this feeling is that when Gao Yongxia was young, he felt that his chess sense was extremely good, and he had countless wonderful ideas and inspirations.

He always plays chess in a way that amazes not only others but also himself.

At the beginning, I thought this was a move made by me, but later on, I realized that only I could make this kind of move!
Every time Gao Yongxia saw these chess pieces, he couldn't help but raise his head and say something silently in his heart.

As expected of me!

But in the past few years, these flashes of inspiration and stunning performances have become less and less common.

Since the time when Ying Jie competed with the machine, Gao Yongxia has discovered that in nearly a year of games, he can no longer find the brilliant self he once was.

Although the winning rate has not dropped significantly, the most beautiful things inside are gone.

Although his strength has declined, Gao Yongxia doesn't care. This is the law of nature.

But that genius self was gone, and Gao Yongxia couldn't accept it.

I can't do those amazing things myself.

The hero is old, the most sad thing...

Seeing this step now, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If I were myself back then, would I have come up with a better counterattack? But now, I can only come up with the most mediocre moves.

Through Ying Jie's move, Gao Yongxia seemed to see the brilliant self he used to be, but now he can't find it again.

"No, it's boring."

Thinking of this, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but shook his head and covered the box next to him.

Hearing this, Ying Jie was stunned for a moment. Didn’t he just make back his losses? Why didn’t he bet anymore?

Lu Li also felt a little strange and glanced at Gao Yongxia who was sitting next to him: "What's wrong?"

Gao Yongxia looked calm. He turned around and glanced at Lu Li who was sitting next to him: "I drank too much. I want to vomit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but burp, then grabbed the trash can next to him and spit it out.

"grass"

Seeing Gao Yongxia vomiting directly, Ying Jie couldn't help but move his butt back.

Gao Yongxia is also practicing martial ethics and even pays more attention to his own rhythm.

Otherwise, if you vomit directly onto the chessboard like someone did, it would really be a biological attack.

Gao Yongxia obviously felt the nausea suddenly, and it went away quickly. After vomiting, he seemed to relax completely, as if he had let go of some worries.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and also lit one for Lu Li.

Looking at the two people who started smoking, Ying Jie waved his hand with some disgust.

Why do these old guys never put down their cigarettes?

Gao Yongxia and Lu Li started chatting again while smoking, but after a few words, Gao Yongxia seemed to think of something.

"Speaking of which, my brother is planning to go to China to set up a Go-related organization. I guess you'll have to take care of him when the time comes."

"Okay, there will definitely be a lot of people coming if you use your name."

After hearing what the two said, Ying Jie couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Why didn't Gao Yongxia open a club in Korea? With your fame in Korea, you should be very popular."

To be honest, as South Korea's former world number one, Ko Young-ha has won so many championships and has such a strong personality that he has a large number of chess fans among the people.

Of course, the important point is that distance creates beauty.

The era in which Gao Yongxia lived was mainly the era of print media and television media. People could only see Gao Yongxia in text and pictures, and it was basically difficult to encounter him on the Internet.

Therefore, no matter how awesome or arrogant Gao Yongxia is, he has no channels or resources to confront chess fans.

This is what is meant by "near stinks, far away smells good". No matter who spends too much time in front of the public, or even if his every word and action is magnified infinitely, everyone will think he is a fool.

So with Gao Yongxia's qualifications and popularity, if he wanted to raise money to set up a Go organization in South Korea, a lot of people would be willing to give him money.

Why go all the way to China?

Hearing this, Gao Yongxia couldn't help but shook his head: "Forget about it in Korea. It's definitely not going to work."

Gao Yongxia knew clearly that he had basically offended everyone related to Korean Go.

What to say.

Even in the Korean Go forum, Gao Yongxia's evaluation is rather complicated.

On the one hand, many netizens expressed their regret, believing that losing Ko Young-ha was a huge loss at a time when Korean Go is in a slump; while another voice believed that Ko Young-ha was too extreme and selfish, and only cared about the conflicts of interest with the Go Academy.

Now, the leaders of the Korean Chess Institute, except for those who have grudges against them, the rest are those who dislike them.

Forget about having a good relationship, I can’t even find an average one.

There is no way. Gao Yongxia has been making various provocations to the system since he became a professional player, and various conflicts have continued since then.

As the top person in a project, Gao Yongxia has achieved this level. His way of dealing with people and things is indeed understandable.

If I like you, I will treat you well. If I don’t like you, I will just mess around with you.

As long as I am happy, that's all! Everything is based on my own interests, and I don't consider other people at all.

The Korean Go League has always been a big-pot format, and it can basically be said that there is more work than money.

Therefore, Gao Yongxia later directly refused to participate in the Korean Go League, was voted to be condemned by the Go Players Association, and was suspended for 6 months.

When Gao Yongxia was young and capable, everyone had to praise him and serve him even if they had to hold their noses and grit their teeth.

But later on, it gradually declined and became unimportant. Even when there were successors as replacements, people immediately abandoned it, and other aspects were not much better.

In July of this year, Gao Yongxia suddenly spoke out and demanded that the Korean Chess Institute return the competition prize money that was deducted from him in the past three years, that is, after he withdrew from the Chess Association, which is about 7 yuan.

It can be said that Gao Yongxia has almost fallen out with the Korean Go officials.

Gao Yongxia wants to continue doing some Go-related things in South Korea. Not to say that it is difficult, but it is still a very simple thing as they will cause you some trouble from time to time at the official level.

Even Gao Yongxia didn't care about it. After all, the bonuses he had accumulated over the years were enough to cover his expenses for the rest of his life.

"As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."

PS: Many young people will participate in tomorrow’s chess competition, which is cause for celebration.

I hope young people can emerge again and sweep all these old lights into the trash.

Although it is an old topic, I still want to say that the general's kindness is endless! The person Shen Zi should be most grateful to in his life should be the general. I hope he will not repay the kindness to the north.
