Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 307: The Road to the End
"Another victory!"

When the results came out, the two commentators were more excited than the audience.

The news spread quickly, and related news headlines flooded into the public's field of vision like a cavalry charge.

"Man vs. Machine Season 2! Shi Yu leads Alaphgo Zero 1:"!
"If miracles have colors, they must be black and white!"

《Eternal Highlands! The Crystallization of Wisdom!》

Looking at this unbelievable result, Dr. Wang sat in the chair with a pale face and cold sweat.

Lost again.

Artificial intelligence has evolved to the third generation. Logically speaking, at this level, it should be impeccable.

Losing just one game might mean that Shi Yu had overdrawn his luck for the rest of his life.

What does it mean to lose another game?
Since I lost two games in a row, does that mean I will lose the next seven games as well?
Dr. Wang didn't dare to think about the consequences.

All we know is that every time Shi Yu wins a game, the company's stock will experience some unpleasant fluctuations. At the same time, the anger from all sides will overwhelm him more and more thoroughly.

That's right, Shi Yu only needs to think about how to win the game, but as the project leader, he has to consider a lot more.

"See, I said it yesterday. I might really win today's game." Shi Yu said.

"How on earth did you do it? Are you really so confident that as long as you can get the white pieces, you will win?" Dr. Wang looked horrified.

That must be the case.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain where this person's confidence comes from!

"Confident? No, no, no, I'm not confident. On the contrary, after going through so much trouble in the first game, my mindset started to slip. I felt that the next nine games would be fine and there was no need to take them so seriously."

In front of the camera, Shi Yu happily expressed his inner feelings.

"It is precisely because I am not sure that I can defeat it that it makes sense for me to declare victory in advance. Think about it carefully. If I were sure of victory from the beginning and then made a bold statement, wouldn't it be meaningless?"

This strange logic made Dr. Wang feel a little numb, but when he thought about it carefully, he really didn't know how to refute it.

It’s not so much that this guy is putting his heart and soul into the game, it’s more like he’s just enjoying the game!

"Continue in the afternoon!" Dr. Wang stood up angrily and turned away.

Another day of competition is over.

Still shook hands and made peace with a score of 2-2.

It is still the case that whichever side plays with white wins.

In this ten-game match, there was still a constant stream of cheers from outside the venue, but on the chessboard, there seemed to be a tendency for a stalemate to form.

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator for this game, Iyama Yao, the former number one player in Japan, and also Shi Yu's good friend and rival."

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Shen Liao, the current number one in Japan. My relationship with Shi Yu is very complicated. Anyway, we debuted in the same period, and we get together whenever we have time."

On the third day of the competition, the commentators were replaced by two of Japan's highest-level experts, who were also present at the event.

The most popular players from the Three Kingdoms came to an offline event at the same time and took turns to commentate on the same game. This level of achievement is unprecedented.

The fire of this man-machine battle had already spread throughout the three East Asian countries. Countless chess fans, and even ordinary passers-by, were frantically folding thousands of paper cranes for Shi Yu, praying that he would have good luck in martial arts and good health.

"What an unexpected result. I thought artificial intelligence would make the most progress, but I didn't expect it to be so evenly matched." Iyama Yao exclaimed.

"Yes, what I didn't expect was that three or four years ago, Shi Yu and I were still at the same starting line, but in the blink of an eye, he has left the entire era behind."

Yagami Liao's answer was also exceptionally calm.

If it were two years ago, when chess players talked about this issue, they would often feel envy, jealousy and hatred, and they would want to secretly stab the person with a knife.

But when I talk about it now, it seems that I don’t feel anything anymore, there is only a huge sense of tranquility.

The door was opened again, and people watched both parties take their seats with solemn expressions.

"The fifth round of man-machine battle begins!"

Dr. Wang placed his pieces with extreme caution, just as he had done two days ago. The sound of the pieces landing heavily on the board made him particularly sensitive.

Already used to it.

I'm used to knocking the chess piece out when my life is hanging by a thread, and punching the timer at the same time.

To be honest, this blitz chess system is somewhat disadvantageous to the computer.

In the ten seconds, he had to spend at least 1.5 seconds to confirm the position of Shi Yu's move, as well as the position of Alaphgo Zero's move on the computer.

These two actions seem simple, nothing more than twisting the head twice, but after actually doing them you will realize that as an artificial carbon-based arm that is not involved in the game of chess, it also takes a little effort to accurately lock that position on the chessboard, otherwise it is very likely to go off the track.

But it's too late to say this.

Ordinary viewers don’t know that under the ten-second competition system, it will be theoretically possible for humans to defeat AI, nor do they know the difficulties he is facing now.

All we know is that the invincible artificial intelligence has once again suffered setbacks in the field of Go at the hands of Shi Yu.

43 moves, prick!

Move 55, big fly!

Aiming at the outer position of the white chess piece in the upper left corner being moved by the three-three point, alaphgo zero immediately started to operate.

Originally, everyone had only seen Shi Yu use this method of randomly rubbing the enemy's external forces, but for the third-generation artificial intelligence, it also mastered it well.

Move 63, another dig! Accurately attack the weak point in the lower left corner of the white chess piece, and the complexity of the chess game increases sharply!
"What a fierce move. I didn't expect that Alaphgo Zero would be the first to challenge the dispute in this round." Iyama sighed.

For AI, there is of course no so-called chess style. The only reason to play in this way is that the winning rate is high enough.

44.4%!

46.7%!

48.2%!

Very good! The winning rate is slowly rising!
Dr. Wang was encouraged by this momentum.

With a handicap of 38 points, Black's winning rate was only %. Black was able to recover ten points in just over moves, which was the most ideal start since the ten-game match. No, including the previous two rounds, it was the most ideal start since the eighteen-game match!

That’s right, Shi Yu is a human being after all.

Even if your chess sense explodes, there will still be ups and downs.

For example, in this game, it is obvious that he wants to repeat the victory in the previous game, so he deliberately moves the chess pieces thinly, showing a posture of being ready to fight at any time.

Little did they know that in the eyes of Alaphgo Zero, all this was completely useless!
95 hands, cut off!

97 hands, flying clamp!

On the left half of the chessboard, the situation becomes increasingly complicated.

The upper and lower battlefields meet in the middle, like two already complicated balls of wool mixed together.

"It looks like Black has the advantage?" Ye Shen Liao was stunned.

"It seems so. The black pieces have successfully destroyed the appearance of the white pieces, and they are quite big. I will definitely choose black in this game." Iyama nodded in disbelief.

In the previous four rounds, the player with white won every time, which inexplicably gave people the illusion that whoever played with white would win. The gap between the two sides was like steel.

But after watching today's performance, Shi Yu is not that perfect, he still has human flaws!

"Forget it, vote!"

After a little over a hundred moves, Shi Yu decisively threw the chess piece into the chess box, which scared the two commentators on the stage.

Seeing such magnanimity and heroism, all the heroes of Liangshan Mountain could not help but bow and call him brother.

The situation was still fully fightable and there was no reason to give up, but Shi Yu had done the same thing when he lost the previous two games, so no one could say anything.

"Alaphgo Zero, black wins! The five-to-five balance is broken!"

"Great! It's finally our turn to be proud!" Dr. Wang finally felt a little excited about the victory. The significance of winning a game with black is self-evident. The score must be at least 6:4, which is just enough to win the ten-game match.

Taking into account the blow to confidence and momentum, it was more than enough to directly sweep Shi Yu to 8:2!
"2:4! Alaphgo Zero is currently leading by two games!"

"Oh no! I'm really going to lose it now!"

After a day's competition, the originally exciting atmosphere of the BOSS battle suddenly cooled down and became tense. Only the Google team felt a little relieved.

Originally, before the game started, everyone thought it would be good to win one game, but Shi Yu won two games at once, which made everyone have evil thoughts, but they didn't expect to be hit by reality immediately.

However, this has aroused more public attention.

Even in Europe and the United States, many video UP hosts who have nothing to do have started making popular science videos related to Go, and some anchors have also started live streaming this.

Maybe they were really interested, or maybe they were just following the trend or the gimmick, but in any case, these two losses did help further promote the popularity of Go.

"I'm the Korean chess player Li Xiantie, and I'm Shi Yu's only official rival!"

"I am the Korean chess player Jiang Changhao."

On the fourth day, it was the turn of the top Korean players to come on stage to commentate.

As expected of Jiang Changhao, everyone else was vying to get in touch with Shi Yu, but he alone remained indifferent.

"Come on! Brother Tiezi, and Teacher Jiang, those two Japanese were so unlucky yesterday, you guys should give some strength and help Shi Huang win this game!"

"Wow, has the current version been updated to the point where cheering for the commentator indirectly cheers for the chess player?"

"Come on! Mr. Zhan, I will steal Shi Yu's popularity to support you!"

Facing the sobbing voices from the audience, Li Xiantie waved his hand:
"Alright, stop yelling. I believe in Shi Yu. I know this guy very well. The more disadvantaged he is, the more potential he can unleash. There's no need for you to engage in feudal superstition off the court!"

Such awe-inspiring righteousness really infected them.

Unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Tiezi Ge, as Shi Yu's old enemy, actually chose to believe without hesitation.

man!

So manly indeed!

"Man vs. Machine, the seventh round begins!"

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end. There were only two days left, today and tomorrow, and this match that was destined to go down in history and decide ten million US dollars would be settled.

Dr. Wang relaxed a lot.

No matter what, at least Shi Yu’s chance of winning this ten-game match is zero.

It's impossible that he can win four games in a row today and tomorrow, right?
This extremely low-probability event is not about driving a car and killing a fish, but about driving a fish and killing a car. Even the underlying logic does not make sense.

After this anxiety was relieved, what bothered him most was Shi Yu's current state.

He still didn't reveal any flaws. Or rather, he was full of flaws, full of ease and leisure, without any burden.

He was no different from the previous two days.

Why.
Why not be afraid?
You have been placed on a pedestal, aren't you afraid of falling down and being smashed to pieces?

In move 39, the black chess piece flies out!

In the double flying swallow pattern in the lower left corner, facing the pincer attack from the white pieces, the black pieces fly gracefully, forming a nice shape of a big monkey face.

Originally, Shi Yu was supposed to play with white in this round, but after communication last night, he played with black first and then with white.

40 moves, prick!

41 moves, stick to the upper block!

Their eyes intertwined again.

Thousands of gazes fell on the chessboard like stars, like the vast universe.

Shi Yu stared at the scene intently. Every second, dozens or even hundreds of changing images passed through his eyes, some real, some virtual, some real, some bright, some dark.

Those drum beats, which were sometimes exciting, sometimes thrilling, and sometimes magnificent, also fell into his heart, bringing waves of soul resonance.

Just as Dr. Wang thought, the two consecutive defeats the day before yesterday hardly hurt him at all, but instead gave him more ideas.

very nice.

Since the opponent can defeat me with black, it means I can also defeat him with black.

This ten-game match was destined not to end in a 5-5 draw.

47 moves, consecutive pulls!

It took Shi Yu only two seconds to make an unexpectedly powerful move.

Turn up the intensity!
There was nothing wrong with the tactics we had planned before. Yesterday’s loss was yesterday’s. What does it have to do with me today?

This is how you deal with artificial intelligence: disrupt the situation early, use lightning, quick attacks, and unexpected tricks to take the head coach's head!
[Emotion value from Shi Yu +512! ]

"Shi Yu chose to ignore the breakpoint and forcefully pull the opponent to the front. This way, both sides will inevitably have a thrilling game here, and it is possible that the winner will be decided in advance!"

Li Xiantie said with a cold sweat.

There are only a few seeds in the local area, but they end up being divided into many parts, with tension and breakpoints, life and death, and success.

If there is enough time, perhaps it can be dealt with, but under the suppression of ten seconds, there is no possibility for humans to quickly calculate the changes here!

50 hands, stupid bend out!

Move 51, as if making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, the black pieces also moved to the right, continuing to disrupt the situation!
"This is this!"

As if he saw the shadow in his memory, Li Xiantie's face immediately turned pale.

"Abandoning a pawn. Shi Yu is abandoning a pawn!" Jiang Changhao also subconsciously raised his voice.

It was as brilliant as magic. The seemingly complicated and confusing offensive situation with chess pieces running everywhere was suddenly linked together by Shi Yu with his miraculous skills. And then they were all discarded in one breath!

While the white chess pieces seize the amazing corner ground, the black chess pieces also take advantage of the situation to build up a powerful external force!

65.4%→37.4%!

Looking at this exaggerated drop in winning rate, Dr. Wang was dumbfounded.

After a set of changes, Alaphgo experienced the most exaggerated drop in winning rate in history.

It’s almost as good as 1/2 of a warbler.

"How could such a thing happen?"

Dr. Wang found it hard to understand.

The only thing that can come to mind is that the chess pieces were divided too much at the time, resulting in a serious misallocation of zero's computing power.

Unexpectedly, the next moment these chess pieces immediately became one.

At this point, it was too late to stop and one could only follow the changing diagram and watch the black chess pieces' external forces rise from the ground.

This is Shi Yu.
This is the unique human way to win at chess.
Move 197, the last piece was taken!
A simple step of sticking not only protects the breakpoint, but also aims at the white chess's breakthrough, keeping a close eye on the entire dragon.

As for the white dragon, which was under the influence of the external force, even if it was handled by Zero, he seemed extremely unconfident and only dared to give himself a 5.7% chance of winning.

In the past few games, Dr. Wang waited until his winning rate reached zero before making a bet.

Only this time, he couldn't bear the humiliation -

"The AI ​​made the move. This time it's Shi Yu's turn to win with black!"

Soon, the day's game ended and the score was officially tied at 4:4.

All the suspense will be decided tomorrow!
