Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 403 402. The first round of the man-machine war

“Welcome everyone to pay attention to the first game of the second phase of the Lakers vs. Machines vs. Shifanqi. Today’s game will pit our Chinese Ying Jie Jiuduan against the artificial intelligence AlphaGo.

I am Xiao Xiao, today’s guest speaker. I am very happy to watch this historic moment in the history of Go with you. "

"I am today's guest speaker. I am very happy to teach chess with Xiao Xiao Qi Dan."

"Well, I'm very honored too."

Xiao Xiao seemed to be a little embarrassed and nodded.

Usually the chess lecture guests are a boy and a girl, but Kaixin is indeed a bit too pretty, and Xiao Xiao has not had much experience in chess lectures, so he is inevitably a little nervous.

“Today’s two protagonists, I don’t think I need to introduce them to you more. AlphaGo defeated South Korea’s veteran strongman Ko Yongha 9th dan in the first stage of the human-machine Juban chess game that ended the day before yesterday with five wins from five games.

Ying Jie, for many friends who follow Go, is a household name as the strongest world champion. He has won eight world championships, setting a new record for Chinese Go world champions.

The 7th-dan Xiao Xiao standing next to me today is the winner of the China-Japan Kiriyama Cup that just ended last month. He is also known as the most powerful chess player of the new generation. "

Of course, in this new generation, everyone excludes Ying Jie by default.

Even if he is old enough to participate in the Rookie King competition, it will be the same.

"If I remember correctly, Xiao Xiao's 7th-dan became a professional player in the same year as Ying Jie's 9th-dan, and they were both from the same dojo. They are brothers, and Xiao Xiao's 7th-dan is also a senior brother.

I remember back then, there were six people in Fangyuan who decided to work together, and they were even featured in magazines at that time, and they were called the six fans of Fangyuan, right? "

Hearing the happy words, Xiao Xiao nodded: "Yes, a total of six of us became professional players that year, and it can be said that it was a good year for the dojo.

I was very excited and happy at that time. After all, at that time, being able to become a professional player was already a very happy thing. "

"And what's more fateful is that Ying Jie's first national championship in 9th dan was the Sino-Japanese Ahan Tongshan Cup, right? It happened to be the championship won by Xiao Xiao in 7th dan last month.

And after Ying Jie won this championship, Ying Jie's 9th dan was directly promoted from the first dan to the 7th dan, which started his legendary career. "

"In fact, it can no longer be described as a legend, it is simply a myth."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.

A 100% career winning rate, if I had just learned chess at that time, I would have regarded it as the biggest joke in the world.

In the world of Go, whoever dares to claim to be invincible or undefeated will still lose, even if he is the best in the world.

"And I remember that Xiao Xiao's seventh-dan and Ying Jie's ninth-dan were renting a house together, right? I think he is the chess player who knows Ying Jie's ninth-dan best.

So who do you think has a greater chance of winning today's winning rate? "

"Ying Jie."

Xiao Xiao blurted out without any hesitation.

The speed is so fast that everyone thinks that anyone who thinks about it will not be able to say it so quickly.

Xiao Xiao, who happily looked at Xiao Xiao who was not thinking at all, couldn't help but say: "Although the answer didn't surprise me, the speed did.

To be honest, before we started, we all generally believed that Ying Jie's 9th Dan was almost certain to win.

Because in the LP Cup World Series not long ago, AlphaGo concealed his identity and lost to Ying Jie 9th Dan in the semi-finals, and the loss basically had no chance, so many people have strengthened their determination to be optimistic about Yingjie 9th Dan.

But in this man-machine battle, AlphaGo’s wonderful performance made many professional 9th-dan players lament. AlphaGo’s performance in the first five games was perfect, and Gao Yongxia’s 9th-dan had no chance at all.

Indeed, there seems to be a certain gap between artificial intelligence and human chess players, and even Guangyin Jiuduan called it a perfect performance.

Many people on the Internet now believe that artificial intelligence may have truly broken through the field of Go, just like chess and chess.

Now he just needs to pass the final hurdle of Ying Jie in this competition.

One is an artificial intelligence that surpasses humans, and the other is a human chess master who has never lost in the professional arena.

In the voting support we previously posted on social platforms, artificial intelligence accounted for 70% of the support rate, and Ying Jie Jiuduan received 30% of the support rate.

You can say that in the eyes of most people, artificial intelligence is more likely to win and gain more support.

Can you tell me why Xiao Xiao’s 7th dan is more optimistic about Ying Jie’s 9th dan? "

Xiao Xiao blurted out without any thought: "Because he is Ying Jie."

No reason is needed.

Because he is Ying Jie, I believe him unconditionally.

“Because with him here, I think we will win with him!

Whether it's human beings or artificial intelligence, I believe no one can defeat him. "

"It seems to be a very unreasonable reason, but it is also a common thought among many Go players and fans.

Because he is Ying Jie, his record has never disappointed anyone for such a long time. "

Kaixin took the microphone and couldn't help but say something.

Regardless of the professional division, the League A, the national competition, the China-Japan battle, the World Series or even the Three Kingdoms Arena, Ying Jie has always won like this.

Countless people thought he should lose in a certain game, but he never lost.

“The game starts in ten minutes, let’s take a look at the scene.

Dr. Wang from the artificial intelligence company is already sitting on top, and he will compete as the human arm of the artificial intelligence.

Ying Jie's 9th dan also officially entered the stadium. What he wore today can be said to be very formal. Normally, in many competitions, even in the World Series, Yingjie 9th dan prefers to wear casual clothes to compete. "

Looking happily at Ying Jie who walked into the screen, he couldn't help but smile and say something.

When Xiao Xiao heard this, he added: "I actually wanted to wear casual clothes today, but I was persuaded to wear formal clothes for the game.

After all, Ying Jie is competing on behalf of humanity to some extent this time, so he must dress more solemnly.

But the main reason is that the prize money for this competition has directly reached 30 million. Ying Jie said that he still has to respect the prize money. "

"Respect the tournament prize money?"

I was a little bit dumbfounded when I heard this, but the number 30 million is really something that people can't help but respect.

Even for top chess players like Lu Lijiu Dan, excluding some business endorsements and other expenses, the annual competition bonus is actually only about 3 million. This is still the bonus for the top chess players, and even the ordinary top ten players. Just around a million.

If calculated based on ten years of a normal career, the bonus for such a peak period is actually only a few years. Even if all ten years are the peak period, the bonus for the entire career of the number one player in the country is only 30 million.

However, considering that Ying Jie basically earns several world championships a year, his income is simply not comparable to that of normal people.

But even so, it was Ying Jie's competition bonus income for several years.

After giving so much, you have to respect others.

Dr. Wang looked at Ying Jie who was sitting down and said with a smile: "Ying Jie 9th Dan, I am very happy to meet you. It seems that we did not meet each other last time when we were discussing cooperation at the China Chess Academy. What a pity!

We finally meet this time. You are really young and promising. I estimate that you will break through double-digit world championships in a while. "

Break through quickly. The higher your silver content, the higher the gold content of my artificial intelligence.

"Sorry, I seemed to be participating in a competition at that time, so I wasn't there.

Thank you very much for organizing this competition. It has played a very important role in promoting our Go game. This time it has indeed attracted a lot of people to pay attention to our Go game.

By the way, when I take a taxi here in Zhejiang, at least everyone knows me, and I am very honored to compete with your company's artificial intelligence. "

Hearing this, Dr. Wang said with a smile: "Thanks to your publicity.

Young and heroic, so decisive.

If you lose, you won't get a penny, and you won't get any game fees. Whoever wins will get all the bonuses directly.

It simply shows the most powerful courage of human chess players. Even Gao Yongxia's 9th Dan is not as courageous as you. He is worthy of being the number one chess player in the world.

But we would be embarrassed if you took so long to compete with us and you won't get any money at all.

When the competition is over, I will treat you to dinner personally. You decide the location. However, I often complain to others that Hangzhou is a food desert. There is no problem if we go to other places.

If you have time to come to Europe, I can also treat you to an authentic French meal. There are also many people in Europe who are very interested in Go.

If you have the opportunity to come over to promote Weiqi, I know there is a very good private restaurant, and I will definitely be the host of it.

After all, we can't help but let you appear without an appearance fee. We can see your commercial value. "

What Dr. Wang said was obvious. To put it simply, in his opinion, Ying Jie couldn't win a single round, so he couldn't get a dime.

To a certain extent, it seems to be a psychological tactic.

Suppress Ying Jie's momentum before the game.

Ying Jie was not angry at all when he heard this: "It's okay. After winning 30 million this time, I hope your company can choose me in the next competition.

The bonus is still 30 million. If I make another 30 million, I will definitely stop. "

Dr. Wang smiled and said: "Haha, you are still young, 30 million is not enough, you should give it a little more.

300 million, 300 million will not worry you in this life. "

Think I haven’t watched The Disciples?

Hong Kong movies are very popular in Wanwan, hit the streets!

Dogs don’t have a choice, you are a human and you have a choice!

But unfortunately, you made a wrong choice and dared to play against the artificial intelligence I developed.

You will become my artificial intelligence, the last step to success.

As a developer of Go artificial intelligence, Dr. Wang has a good understanding of Go itself. Although he does not have professional-level chess skills, he can be regarded as a strong amateur player.

As a human arm, there is no problem in guessing Ying Jie first.

Surprisingly, Ying Jie got the black chess piece this time, but there was no difference.

Wufanqi will rotate black and white. If you guess black in the first game, you will be followed by black and white. You will guess again in the fifth game to ensure fairness to the greatest extent.

After getting the white chess piece, Dr. Wang also gave instructions to the staff on the other side through the earphones. After adjusting the artificial intelligence, Dr. Wang glanced at the screen next to him and nodded to the referee next to him.

After confirming that there were no problems on both sides, Mr. Nie, as the referee, stood up.

“This competition adopts Chinese Go competition rules. Both sides have a three-hour retention time and five one-minute countdowns.

I announce that when the Lakers vs. Machines battle Shifanqi, in the first game of the second stage, Ying Jie will hold black and AlphaGo will hold white. The game officially begins! "

When he heard the sound of starting, Dr. Wang started the timer in a leisurely manner, and when Ying Jie heard the sound of starting time, he made the move directly without any hesitation.

The first move is black, with the star in the upper right corner.

“Both sides made very fast moves in the first few moves of the game. It seems that both sides were well prepared before the game.

Ying Jie held black, which was a move of Xing Xiaomu flying to guard the corner. This idea reminded me that there was a popular formula for a long time, Ying Jie's formula, which is Xing Xiaomu flying guarding the corner, and today This pattern is completely different.

I remember that at that time, Ying Jie had just decided on the position. When he got the black piece, he especially liked to use this opening, and then he won every battle, which aroused many people's pursuit of this opening.

Coming up with this similar opening today gave me the feeling that dead memories were starting to attack me.

There is a feeling that Ying Jie's dominance has not dissipated at all, but has come back again.

The artificial intelligence used a relatively common move, two consecutive stars, and then the sixth move directly clicked on the three-three on the right.

It seems that this artificial intelligence has probably learned a lot from Ying Jie's chess records. In the previous game with Gao Yongxia, he liked to click three-three. In this game, he immediately clicked three-three.

I wonder what kind of chemical reaction there will be when the artificial intelligence, Diansansan, meets Ying Jie, the founder of Diansansan?

Can artificial intelligence achieve a state of being better than others, or is it just limited to mechanized Handan toddlers?

But seeing this chin, Mr. Nie, who was sitting next to him as the referee, probably felt uncomfortable all over again. He had expressed his discomfort with Point 33 many times. "

Xiao Xiao looked at the chess records on the chessboard and said as if joking.

From the perspective of a Go player, artificial intelligence can also be said to be very advanced with the times.

"Both sides made a very common dot three three position in the upper right corner. This was also invented by Ying Jie. I had played this position with him before in the dojo.

Of course, you don’t need to ask about the result, everyone knows it, right?

In a sense, I feel that Ying Jie is a pioneer. Since his debut, he has come up with countless new ideas and changed countless stereotypes.

Judging from the current content, this new artificial intelligence is just a follower. It has nothing innovative and is more about imitating humans.

Perhaps to a certain extent, he is like a master of all chess players in human history, a fusion of chess masters from all ages.

This piece is played very quickly, white chess flies, and black chess also has to fly, because the chess piece is unfavorable here, and then here, I usually choose to fly here, which not only makes up for the move, but also feels quite big. . "

Xiao Xiao looked at the situation on the chessboard and predicted AlphaGo's move.

But soon, Xiao Xiao was slapped in the face.

"The artificial intelligence chose Xiao Fei in the lower left corner and took off first."

Looking at the real-time progress on the live screen, I picked up a white stone and placed it in the lower left corner.

“I feel that artificial intelligence, like Ying Jie, has a very strong awareness of taking the lead, and it prefers to make big jumps and leaps, which are more radical moves in the eyes of us humans.

For example, our walking is generally more like a dog, flying and jumping, a little more solid, but in this case it feels that the efficiency is not as fast as theirs.

But as I walked faster, I felt like I was taking too big a step, causing my legs to crack and pull on my balls. "

“Maybe it’s because artificial intelligence, as a computer, can calculate more clearly, and it seems to us that it’s a bit of a step forward, but in his opinion, it’s just the right size to grasp.

There is indeed a certain gap in level. "

Looking at the artificial intelligence that chose to take the lead and seize the big spot, Ying Jie was hardly surprised at all.

Although it is not a complete dog, it has already entered the dog realm after all, and it always looks a bit like a dog.

In the game with Jueyi, Ying Jie has long been used to this kind of move.

Jueyi can even run to other places and play chess at what humans consider to be a life-or-death moment, directly burning up your CPU.

Ying Jie almost didn't think about it, and directly shot Xiao Fei to guard the corner. Alpha Dog followed, and Ying Jie immediately turned around and went to the lower right corner to hit 33.

If you click me at the beginning, I will click back directly.

Facing point 33, the chess game learned by artificial intelligence seems to have many ways to deal with it, and it seems to understand the best way to deal with it now.

Ying Jie was slightly surprised when he saw the white dog who chose to pull down in the thirty-fourth hand. The dog actually invited him to use the Mi Dao.

You know, because the first-generation dogs in another world grew up by learning existing human chess records, they couldn't do three-three at all, let alone the subsequent changes in flying knives.

Therefore, the first-generation dogs would not fire this flying knife in another world, but because of the existence of this world, the first-generation dogs were less human and more dog-like.

On the road of half man and half dog, he took a firm step towards the direction of dog.

To a certain extent, Mi's flying knife can be said to be frequently used. Many players in later generations still deduced many novel changes based on Ai. Ying Jie also came up with many ideas with his unique skills.

If he just used the flying knife method, Ying Jie felt that he might be able to teach this dog a lesson.

But if this were the case, many things would be meaningless.

In the first game, Ying Jie wanted to feel what kind of strength this dog was now.

The first-generation dog with his own figure added to it, and what kind of dog is it? How strong is it? Ying Jie was still extremely curious.

Thinking of this, Ying Jie gave up on Mi Dao's changes and chose to retreat alone.

After AlphaGo made up for the break, Ying Jie pulled first and then stuck it underneath.

"In this case, the black chess piece in the lower right corner is a living chess piece, and a break is left outside. The subsequent break will definitely have an effect."

In Xiao Xiao's opinion, leaving this section outside is like laying a landmine, but it will definitely not be used now, and will have to wait until later.

Then keep this mine in a stage of detonating and not detonating to contain White.

This is the subtlety of human Go.

But to his surprise, Ying Jie ran out without waiting at all.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but scratch his hair: "Actually, a complicated situation has formed.

I always feel that Ying Jie is fighting within Alpha Dog's sphere of influence. Isn't this a bit forced?

In other words, Ying Jie was very confident in his power. "

From Xiao Xiao's point of view, running out like this was really not a good move. Ying Jie seemed to be overconfident in his own strength.

This is artificial intelligence, not me. Just relax.

As an amateur chess player, Dr. Wang has a certain understanding, but he still cannot fully understand this change.

When testing artificial intelligence, Dr. Wang can also see some selection points and change diagrams. Based on these change diagrams, he can also have some ideas.

But today's game screen only shows the moves given by artificial intelligence. With Dr. Wang's level, there is no sense of participation.

simply put.

can't read.

However, Dr. Wang still believes in the level of his own artificial intelligence. He only needs to follow the moves on the screen and copy them.

It’s about playing the role of a machine well.

To a certain extent, the arrangement of this human-machine war is also very interesting. Artificial intelligence becomes the brain, and humans become machines operated by artificial intelligence.

Move 48, white chess, break!

"It seems that this artificial intelligence is not weak. If I retreated alone just now, there is a risk that all the white pieces on the right will be sealed by me, and the winning rate will also go down.

But even if you choose to stop, a classic change will still be formed in the end. "

What everyone doesn't know is that all the pictures that have been downloaded until now are actually under Ying Jie's research.

To put it simply, until now, every move AlphaGo makes has been expected by Ying Jie. Even the response after every move he makes, Ying Jie is familiar with everything, and even knows the fluctuation of the winning rate of each move.

This is the terrifying thing about chess players in the AI ​​​​era. Because of the existence of artificial intelligence, some chess players who have studied in-depth have even reached 100% agreement in the first few dozen moves. It is as if both sides are directly memorizing the questions.

Ying Jie, who had everything under control, directly chose to abandon his son, directly forming a typical on-the-ground confrontation with external forces. Ying Jie used the clever sequence of abandoning his son to form a huge appearance.

Xiao Xiao looked at the picture on the screen and continued to explain: "In actual combat, Ying Jie just made two abandons, and he had a very good view of the overall situation.

But unexpectedly, I thought it would be the same as the first stage before. The longest game between Gao Yongxia 9th Dan and Artificial Intelligence was played for more than nine hours, and it was played until around 10 o'clock in the evening.

It can be said that this is a particularly long and protracted battle. For humans, a physical exertion is also a huge drain. I remember that the Ying's Cup can only be played until 8:00 pm at most.

I originally thought that today's rain would not be short, and I was ready for a hard battle.

But I didn't expect that both sides seemed to be playing very quickly. It took only ten minutes for both sides to play, and they had already played nearly sixty hands. "

AlphaGo seemed to realize the problem at this time, and immediately started flying out from the upper right, not only to strengthen itself, but also to weaken the connection between the two black chess pieces.

When Ying Jie expanded himself with a simple jump, AlphaGo directly scored in the upper left corner without any hesitation.

As for artificial intelligence, they don't seem to worry about life and death after breaking in.

If I dare to break in, I'm not afraid of death at all.

Who dares to kill me?

Who dares to kill me? !

"We are very brave to come in. If it were in this area, we would actually be more confused because we don't feel like we can find a particularly good direction.

It includes just like breaking in. In fact, it can also be said that there are many points to break in, and you can't find a particularly good one.

As far as the feeling of AlphaGo's entry this time is concerned, it feels pretty good.

Normally, we would press from the third line to prevent him from penetrating from the second line.

But in this case, it seems that the dialogue does not pose much of a threat, and it cannot attack anything. "

As a "balanced flow" chess player, Xiao Xiao's first reaction when he saw the artificial intelligence entering was how to attack him and use his dog-beating stick technique.

But after thinking for a long time, and following his partner's joy in making a few changes, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shake his head.

The opponent's entry point was indeed very good, and he couldn't find any good attack point.

It’s so uncomfortable!

It was really uncomfortable for me, a balanced chess player, to be unable to attack others immediately.

Xiao Xiao looked at the status of the live broadcast on the big screen and said to the camera: "Ying Jie also entered a thinking state for the first time in this game. Before, it was almost a matter of seconds.

However, judging from the current situation, the chessboard is still in a relatively stable balance of power. The feedback given by the artificial intelligence research and development company is that White's current winning rate is 58%.

To be honest, after the Go artificial intelligence came out, many people had different opinions.

But I feel that the more interesting function of artificial intelligence lies in the visualization of this data. For the first time, a machine has turned the winning rate of Go into a number.

We used to talk about who is good and who is bad sometimes, but it is impossible to say what his winning rate is now.

But according to a data given by the artificial intelligence team, at the very beginning, their team believed that the initial winning rate of white chess was 58% and that of black chess was 42%. This is a winning rate under Chinese rules.

This is also in line with our relatively unified point of view. Under Chinese rules, white chess is slightly easier to play.

If we look at the data fed back by the artificial intelligence team, to put it simply, until now, the two sides have still maintained a winning rate at the beginning, with basically no change.

Including the current situation, this winning rate is still used as a reference, and we cannot guarantee its accuracy, which will be further observed later. "

"I wonder what Ying Jie will do next?

I still personally feel that it should be forced. "

But it was obvious that Ying Jie didn't quite approve of Xiao Xiao's move.

Move 61, black chess, a high folder!

PS: The curtain that had just been opened by the grandson was suddenly pulled down by the prince. It is time for the legend to go electric.
