Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 308: This is the charm of Go!
"Hello everyone, I'm today's commentator, Nie Lan! I'm Shi Yu, Shi Yu's good buddy!"

Nie Lan excitedly stepped onto the big chessboard, eager to meet and greet all the new audience members.

On the last day of the competition, Nie Lan finally couldn't help but take part herself.

As the most well-known and officially crowned chess master in China besides Shi Yu, he deserves to be in charge on the last day.

As for the other commentator, there is no need to guess.
"Hello everyone, I am also today's commentator, Lu Sizhu, I am... Forget it, I am Shi Yu's master."

Lu Sizhu, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, avoided the gaze and muttered softly.

Nie Lan: "???"

chess enthusiast:"???"

Other viewers: “To play so extravagantly???”

Lu Sizhu coughed twice and quickly changed the subject shyly: "Well, actually I am Shi Yu's lover."

"That's about it. New friends, don't be too surprised. We chess players are like this. We digest things internally. Instead of this, let's focus on the final outcome of today!"

No one was surprised by the appearance of these two people today.

Even from a metaphysical point of view, this is the best supporting lineup.

"Come on, Queen Deer! Lead us again, lead Shi Yu again!"

Last night was a sleepless night for the entire chess community.

This man-machine battle, which was not favored from the beginning, remained evenly matched until the last moment, far exceeding expectations.

On the third day, when Shi Yu lost with white, everyone was prepared to accept that Shi Yu would lose with a score of 2:8. Unexpectedly, he actually came back with black on the fourth day and won!

The good news was so explosive that everyone tossed and turned all night yesterday. Until three o'clock in the morning, the Go forum was bustling with people and brightly lit, with heated discussions on the possible results of the last day.

The excitement outside the chess circle was equally extraordinary, with mobile phone news pushes, video hot searches, building screens, CCTV news, and even the small advertisements on the back of toilet cubicles, all passionately following this unprecedented battle.

In Japan, there were also numerous reports about Shi Yu. On the social level, he was even given the title of "Go Doll's Ultimate Battle Weapon".

Not to mention in South Korea, after these four days of competition, Shi Yu has become the real sun. After Park Kaka, he is the third sun to shine above the country. Three days in the sky, three body movements.

If we must say, people in Europe and the United States, especially the top executives at Google, also had sleepless nights and were in chaos. In a sense, they were sharing the joy with the people.

With East Asia as its center, the craze of black and white is sweeping across the world, like a torch standing on a mountain top, attracting the attention of the entire planet.

"please."

"please."

The red carpet had turned into steps leading to the temple. After two symbolic polite words, both parties pushed the door open and stepped into today's game room.

After such a bloody battle, there is nothing more to say.

Dr. Wang's complexion was visibly bad, as if Alaphgo Zero was consuming not electricity but his health.

After four days of fierce fighting, Shi Yu's body was obviously exhausted. Only his eyes were still clear and transparent, burning with an eternal flame.

almost
It's almost reaching the limit.
Shi Yu is very self-aware of this.

It seems that for fast chess, where one move takes ten seconds, you only need to tap the chessboard and the clock, and there is no need to drag it out for half a day like in slow chess.

But only those who have experienced this intensity personally will understand that the pressure on the nerves caused by each quick attack and move is no less than that of a protracted war.

Especially in his current special state, when he releases the beast in his heart, the burden on his body is also very great.

It really was a dark duel.

"The fifth round of the man-machine battle, the ninth round, Alaphgo Zero from Google versus Shi Yu from China, the game begins!"

After a symbolic nod of respect, Shi Yu, playing with black, made the first move.

"Okay, the game has officially begun. Shi Yu's layout has been slightly adjusted compared to yesterday. He no longer makes mistakes in small eyes, but instead makes two consecutive stars." Nie Lan murmured as he watched the rapidly increasing number of moves on the big chessboard.

"According to common sense, the layout that won yesterday should continue to be used today, especially when the opponent is a machine that is not good at adapting. But it is obvious that Shi Yu is actively seeking change. Is there any deep meaning in this?" Nie Lan asked.

"No, Shi Yu said before that Zero is very good at adapting. When dealing with the same layout, it often comes up with different responses. It has been learning by itself and has never stopped. These few days are no exception." Lu Sizhu shook his head.

"Today's Alaphgo Zero is its most powerful moment."

20 lots, hang high!

22 moves, pull out!

In the upper right corner, Zero suddenly came up with a new move, which was obviously different from the response he used in the previous two days.

It seemed as if this was a pre-match preparation specifically made for Shi Yu.

Shi Yu's eyes flashed, and the chess piece moved like lightning.

91 moves, damn!
101 hands, stick!
A series of chess moves, sometimes in a local area, sometimes strangely escaping the lead, the calculations were as fast as an afterimage, which was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

unfavorable
Very unfavorable
Although I defeated my opponent with black yesterday, it doesn’t mean that such good luck can continue forever.

And judging from the current situation of the hundred hands, the goddess of victory is not favoring her trend.

Bad luck
Backstage at Google, researchers watched the ups and downs of the winning rate with a calm mind.

62.3%
63.1%
63.6%
This is another round with an ideal progress curve. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another boring and slow victory game.

"This guy named Shi Yu is really too powerful. He can actually force us to this point. Is he really a human being?"

"Today's best case scenario is 6:4. To be honest, for us, the best we can do is 9:1. A 6:4 is already a loss."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's think about what to do in the next game when Shi Yu plays with white."

Everyone present was not very happy about the impending victory, but rather prepared for it with great vigor.

As early as the end of the game on the second day, after the score was 2:2, their scientific research team was basically in danger. Dr. Wang was once again bullied over the phone and his head was almost sprayed out.

As for yesterday, there was no phone call at all. I have no idea whether my salary will be credited to my account this month.

At least the $1000 million must be kept!

This can't be thrown away no matter what!
113 moves, flying!

115 moves, prick!

After a series of continuous combined punches, the white pieces did not respond at all and had to fill in the gaps.

Seeing that Zero had no intention of engaging in a fight, Shi Yu turned his chess piece and aimed to the right, blocking it and moving a single chess piece to fight on the spot.

"It's useless! It's all useless! Zero has gained the upper hand and is now operating safely!"

For several consecutive moves, Zero played as steady as iron, leaving no trace.

It can be seen that it thinks it is already ahead in the market and will no longer fight back.

"Is Shi Yu's situation a little bad?"

Nie Lan's heart skipped a beat and cold sweat broke out on his face.

As usual, he was unable to judge whether the situation was good or bad.

But according to experience, as long as the AI ​​starts to play this kind of "give it all" move, it often means that it believes it has the advantage and cannot fail.

"Well, it's not good. Shi Yu is very anxious now and is hesitating whether to surrender." Lu Sizhu said firmly.

"Really? How did you know that?"

"Look at his eyes. The corners of his eyes are tilted up 12 degrees. When he is at a disadvantage, he only tilts his eyes up 3 degrees. When he is at a big disadvantage, he tilts his eyes up 6 degrees. When he is hesitating whether to bet, he tilts his eyes up 12 degrees."

Nie Lan's smile froze.

Damn, isn't this too meticulous?

How many times did you count each other's eyelashes while lying together?

On the chessboard, Shi Yu once again felt a bad premonition.

If nothing unexpected happens, his current winning rate should have dropped below 30%. According to the practice of the previous four days, it is time for him to make a quick bet based on his mentality.

But is it really a good idea to continue doing this? If I bet again this time, I will only be able to achieve 5:5 as my ultimate goal.

There are only two options: a draw or a disappointing loss.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu felt more and more that he shouldn't do this.

Just like he had repeatedly refused to draw to win games in the past, a draw is indeed legendary, but victory is what he truly pursues.

This plate can still be tried!
131 moves, break!

[Emotion value from Shi Yu +568! ]

Aiming at the thin hint of white chess in the air, Shi Yu inserted a piece and decisively started the battle.

"Not voting yet?"

Dr. Wang was stunned.

Now Shi Yu's winning rate is only 25.6%. If it were a few rounds ago, he would have given up long ago.

But now he is determined to continue to provoke disputes.

Was there an error in judgment?

Still feel that this is the last day, want to try and see if a miracle can be created?
If it was the latter, Dr. Wang could only smile.

According to past experience, the only time Shi Yu was able to turn the tables when his win rate was below 30% was the time he encountered a bug.

But now, the bug has been fixed!
It is absolutely impossible to defeat Zero using this method again!

132 moves, breakthrough!

Faced with Shi Yu's chess piece that was coming across, Zero decisively chose to accept it all.

Not only must you take this piece, you must also take the entire black dragon!
Since there were no more pieces to make up for, Zero immediately began to clear out the black dragon. The game was about to enter the endgame, and it immediately turned into a life-and-death battle!

25.6%!

18.6%!

14.6%!

Shi Yu's victory suddenly declined!
Dr. Wang finally felt a rare sense of satisfaction.

In the previous few games against Shi Yu, this kid shot faster than the French, which made the victory feel unreal.

Now that his work has suffered a setback, he relies on these emotional values ​​to make a living.

Wail all you want, you damn genius!

"Wait, it seems like Shi Yu's chess move is going to fail again?" Nie Lan felt his breathing quicken again.

What Shi Yu's men did was simply shocking.

Is he going to repeat last season’s man vs. machine battle and get stuck on the artificial intelligence bug?
"No, his expression doesn't mean he's trying to be opportunistic, but rather that he's winning head-on." Lu Sizhu opened his eyes wide and observed from afar.

"it's over!"

Move 222, breaking the eye!

This move, like a hidden weapon, struck the white chess piece's eye, issuing a death sentence.

0.8%!

Black’s winning rate is only 0.8%!

Just when he thought Shi Yu was about to let out a heavy sigh, he raised his head and Shi Yu actually smiled, a smile he hadn't seen in a long time.

He made the right bet again.

Although the previous bug has been fixed, it is still Zero's Achilles' heel, the only place that has not been soaked by the water of the Styx.

Large-scale chaos, or super-large-scale chaos, has always been its weakness.

Or maybe, what Shi Yu wanted to do next was too deceptive, like a magic attack, obscuring its indestructible computing power matrix.

In the 223rd move, a single save was made.

Shi Yu brought his hand down with great force.

[Emotion value from Shi Yu +618! ]

"Still resisting? Forget it, it's all in vain anyway, just treat it as a way to adjust your mood. Okay?"

As it rained, Dr. Wang realized something was wrong.

After Yu made this save, there was suddenly another fight on the field.

Following zero's first variation diagram, there were two more fights for the life and death of the big dragon.

"This is a three-calamity cycle!" Even Dr. Wang realized this.

"Draw, draw, draw! This is really a draw!"

Nie Lan's tongue trembled.

In that very simple spot just now, the white chess piece could easily kill the black chess dragon by simply repairing the spot with one move.

However, it attacked forcefully, which gave Black an opportunity.

"I would have won the game, but the AI ​​made a mistake again!"

Countless people looked at the resulting picture in amazement.

This is a real draw.

It's not about refusing to draw and winning the game.

If there is no subsequent reversal, the game ends in a draw.

Under Shi Yu's careful guidance, the game ended in a draw!
"This is the ninth round of the man vs. machine game, a draw!"

4 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw!
A result that no one had ever foreseen happened!

"Why, why did this happen!" Dr. Wang spat out a mouthful of blood in his heart.

Isn't the bug already fixed?

Why did it break down again?

"The limitations of AI, the confusing nature of the three-ko cycle and the tight time limit. I wanted to answer these, but these answers are obviously too boring and too one-sided."

Although there was no winner in this game, Shi Yu sounded like a winner the moment he opened his mouth:

"The correct answer is this, and that is the charm of Go.

Go, isn’t it magical?

After the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Immediately, warm applause broke out.

"Good! Well said! This is the charm of Go! Very well said!" Nie Lan's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't stop clapping her hands.

This applause is not only for Shi Yu, but also for the God of Go!

"Speaking of which, since we have four wins, four losses and one draw, can this ten-game match really determine the winner?" Lu Sizhu suddenly asked.

Nie Lan also suddenly realized this problem.

Under normal circumstances, a ten-game match could end in a tie of 5-5, but now there was a draw and it suddenly became a nine-game match.

Considering that the probability of another draw is lower than the earth exploding in the next second, it means that one side will definitely win the fifth game and end everything once and for all!
"Dr. Wang, as you can see, we ended up with a draw. The rule agreed upon before the game was to decide the final outcome in six games. Do we need to change that now?

Anyway, you won't be able to report back if the situation is like this, so you might as well enjoy the game."

Looking at Shi Yu's sweaty smile, Dr. Wang's expression gradually became ferocious and perverted:
"Yeah, now I can only enjoy the game. The next round will determine who will win the $1000 million!"
