Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 421 420.2012 The end of the world

"Are you really a karma 3? What's wrong with your karma 3? Are you sure it's cooked?"

Seeing that the chessboard was almost completely clean, except for the black chess pieces with two small eyes on each corner, Ying Jie couldn't help but ask.

Of these two living chess pieces, one was released by Ying Jie. Otherwise, Lu Jingjing could only forcefully create a living chess piece, and it was also a very frustrating living chess piece, both honest and rigid. Two eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Jingjing looked very angry and directly pasted her certificate on Ying Jie's face: "Your dean personally signed it at that time, it is officially certified!

If it’s fake, I’ll feed it to you directly! "

Ying Jie took the certificate, put it in the sun, and pretended to look at it carefully: "It is indeed the old dean's handwriting, but it is not an autograph, it is just printed."

Ying Jie looked at the angry Lu Jingjing, smiled and put the certificate away: "I will keep this for you, and I will take a framed photo with you one day and hang it in your home.

But speaking of your level, you can actually get a professional level of 3 now. Are the levels of amateur chess players in Hui Province already that low? More water than the capital? I originally thought that the capital was already very wet. "

The amateur ranks and professional ranks of Go are not determined the same way. They are not awarded by a unified national examination, but are conducted in each province.

Depending on each province, the level of the participating players is different, and the levels of amateur levels are also different. Just like the college entrance examination, the amateur level is equivalent to the small college entrance examination of Go in each province.

So sometimes there will be industry 5 players in certain provinces or municipalities, and even industry 3 players in some major Go provinces cannot win, because one side's rank determination is very simple, and you can become industry 5 by just winning two games.

Therefore, sometimes the amateur rank does not have a particularly strong reference and cannot completely prove a person's strength. In comparison, the rank of online chess can better reflect a person's strength. After all, in this era without artificial intelligence, it is necessary to Play one game at a time on your own.

Moreover, once you are in a bad state and lose several games in a row, you may even run the risk of falling out of rank. This is a punishment mechanism that does not exist in either professional or amateur ranks.

However, amateur ranks above professional level 6 can only be obtained through national competitions. Basically, competition among the top professional level 5 players in the country is close to or even reaching the professional level.

At the level of Industry 6, it basically has a strong reference value.

Ye 5 may be a parallel import, but Ye 6 may win Zhan Lao.

Because of the disparity between provinces, Ying Jie couldn't tell what Lu Jingjing's level was. Maybe he had Ye 3, maybe he didn't. After all, the elephant couldn't see how big the ants on the ground were. After all, he really hadn't played chess with an amateur player for a long time.

Many parents who hope that their children will succeed are willing to spend a lot of money to get Ying Jie to teach their children a game. The price of Ying Jie's coaching can even be said to be sky-high, even reaching several times or even ten times that of ordinary world champions. times.

But even like this, Ying Jie has basically never given guidance to amateur chess players. He will only return to Fangyuan Dojo once a year for group guidance. But even so, the business of the dojo has doubled in the past two years. The teacher's face turned into wrinkles with laughter.

However, the relationship between supply and demand has also led to the fact that Ying Jie's guidance chess from outside has always been in a marketable and priceless state. Even Guangyin 9th Dan and others were asked by others to ask Ying Jie if he could guide him in the next game. Money is not an issue. .

"Theoretically speaking, if I give you nine sons, you shouldn't die so miserably."

It is normal to lose. After all, professional chess players have some tricks, and amateur chess players will be fooled at the first hook. In addition, professional chess players have the ability to disrupt the game in the middle game. Amateurs are basically either suffering losses or on the way to suffering losses when playing against professionals.

"I should say this, right? When I first learned chess, you gave me nine pieces, and I couldn't beat you. Now you give me nine pieces, and I still can't beat you. Then my move is not in vain. Have you learned it?"

When Lu Jingjing heard this, she couldn't help but said with a puffed face, why she felt that she had not made any progress after studying for so long.

It can't be said that there is no progress at all. At that time, not one living piece was killed, but this time at least two pieces survived.

But after I actually learned how to play it, I felt that it would be better not to live if I lived for these two things!

"Of course it's because I've made greater progress."

Ying Jie leaned back on the sofa after hearing what he said. When he just taught Lu Jingjing how to play chess, he was just a quasi-professional who had mastered some rules that were beyond this era. He could even make two or even three of his own.

And now, I am the eight-time world Go champion. I have won the handicap challenge against six people in a row. I am only one person away from tonight to win the record of undefeated handicap challenge.

The gap is still larger than the span between Zhan Lao and Shen Zi. When Ying Jie had just traveled through time, he didn't dare to think so, at least he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Every profession wants to be number one in the world, but there is only one number one in the world!

It’s been over two years, almost three years. Time flies so fast.

Ying Jie couldn't help but sighed. He was already seventeen, and he was still one year old. At eighteen, he was already an adult in a sense.

Some junior high school classmates have already gotten married after graduating from junior high school, going to vocational high school, dropping out of school to work.

Moreover, at this age, Ke Zi in his previous life had already won the world championship. In theory, many people born in the 1990s in China began to continuously compete for the world championship during this period. That was because of their own existence. Many people failed to compete, and at most they could only win. runner up.

Cui Ze is even worse. In the past two years, he has been in trouble for five consecutive years.

Without him, I am afraid that Cui Ze in this world will replace the previous version of Gao Yongxia and shine. However, given the terrifying thickness of China’s post-90s generation, it may be difficult to achieve the terrifying double-digit world championships of Gao Yongxia in the previous era.

But at least now we should have at least one or two world champions in hand, so that the five-time world champion will not be ridiculed as the second best in ten thousand years. Even Ying Jie is called the contemporary chess master by fans, and Cui Ze is ridiculed as the Asian Holy.

His arrival led China to a complete comeback in Go, but it seemed to have changed some other things.

Originally, there might be a large number of one-can groups appearing quickly, but now they have become much rarer.

The gears of fate are turning, who knows the future?

"No, just give me twelve more pieces, and I'll give you the next one! I will win this time!"

Looking at Lu Jingjing who was unconvinced and cleaning up the chessboard, Ying Jie said helplessly: "Sister, twelve people can't help but win in the iron barrel formation. Can you pursue it a little bit?"

And I have a competition tonight. If you continue like this, I won’t have to compete tonight. "

Your database is much more polluted than Xia Yingying, and even worse than a panda burning incense. If you continue like this, I will really send it to the competition tonight.

Hearing this, Lu Jingjing silently put away the chessboard and asked, "Okay, the person you are playing against tonight is Guang Yin 9th Dan, right?"

"Yes, Yehu's arrangement is really clever. The last one actually arranged for Guangyin to play at the ninth level."

Ying Jie nodded when he heard this. In the fourth, fifth and sixth games, he faced the record holder of the Women's World Series, Jiang Li 9th Dan, who once won the World Series semi-finals and was the world's first female player, and the seven-time World Go champion Lu Li 9th Dan. These senior chess players who have shined in the chess world.

Compared to the top players, their status may be higher than Shi Mingzhi's, but in terms of strength, Shi Mingzhi's ninth level must be stronger at this stage.

Therefore, Ying Jie also won the next three rounds without risk, until the last round of the day.

Against Guangyin 9th Dan.

Lu Jingjing asked a little strangely: "I remember, didn't Guangyin 9th Dan say he had retired? It seems that even his place in the World Series was given up to others, can he still participate in this competition? Doesn't it mean that competitions are all about competition? Can you participate?"

“The announcement of retirement is just that I will not participate in professional competitions, but in some senior tournaments, there are still many senior players participating.

There is actually no standard for retirement, including the fact that many senior players have begun to fade out of the professional chess scene. People who have not played chess for a long time will assume that they have retired. However, sometimes there are still some organizers who have a good relationship with them and will issue wild cards to them. them, invite them to the competition.

After all, these people can quite arouse the youth of some people and attract many people to watch the game. Everyone was once a protagonist of the era and a trend-setter.

It's a pity that time waits for no one, time is like a knife cutting down the genius, there are many enchanting people on the road to immortality, and there are no evergreen trees in the world chess world. "

In today's fiercely competitive and commercialized Go sport, once you pass the age of thirty, decline is inevitable.

In his previous life, even though he was as strong as Shi Buddha, who ranked first in terms of number of world champions and runners-up, he still participated in competitions without retiring in his forties, and it was basically difficult to hide his decline in the professional arena.

But being able to reach this age is not more about winning, but the love for Go.

"And to a certain extent, this competition is more of an invitational tournament. Who will participate is a matter of the organizer. This kind of competition is generally said to have a high threshold, but lack of gold content.

The Go Association didn't record the level points, although in fact there was no way to record them due to the format of the competition this time. "

In Go, some sponsors often hold invitational tournaments. This kind of competition does not involve auditions or arranging entry quotas according to levels like ordinary competitions. Instead, the organizer invites very few people to participate.

The invitation standards are completely set by the organizer. To put it simply, whoever the organizer wants to come can come.

For example, Huangshan Qimen Black Tea once invited the top two Chinese women to hold a women's hegemony battle.

There was also the once-famous Go Car Rally, which was held in the form of a combination of a Go game and a car rally. The XZ Plateau was used as the main venue, and it was an innovative combination of a Go game and a car rally.

The Go competition and the car rally are held simultaneously. The schedule starts from Chengdu, passes through Kangding, Mangkang, Bomi, Galong La Snow Mountain, Bayi, LS, and finally reaches the Everest Base Camp to compete for the championship on the top of the world.

And all world champion chess players are invited to compete with beautiful players.

To a certain extent, the threshold for invitational tournaments will be higher than normal competitions. Basically, only the top players among the best, or senior players with a certain level of honor, can get invitations.

However, because the number of players is very small and there is no need to pass selection, it is considered to be far less valuable than the World Series.

But the most important thing is that the prize money of the invitational tournament is very rich.

For example, Ying Jie did not participate in some national competitions, but Ying Jie never failed to participate in invitational competitions.

There is no way, the bosses have given me too much.

And you are playing against the world's top chess players, so why not?

As for why the rating points were not recorded in this competition, one reason is because this competition is not a formal competition, it can only be said to be an online invitational tournament, and the most important thing is that the rating points must be recorded first. This kind of handicap There is no way to calculate chess.

“I still remember that when I just set the dan, Guangyin 9th dan and I made a handicap, and this time it was me and him.

At that time, no matter in terms of strength or status, he was the one who let me, and now I let him. In more than two years, the situation has turned around! "

Ying Jie couldn't help but sigh while sitting in his seat. Guang Yin, the 9th dan who had been coaching him as a new junior dan, had quietly retired, and now he was coaching these seniors.

At that time, in order to verify his own strength, he specifically asked Huanghe Ninth Dan to let Guangyin Ninth Dan play against him according to the rules of points first. The two of them made a gentleman's agreement on the playing field.

He had an advantage at the beginning, but was reversed by the senior in the middle game. In the end, the two of him almost fell into a three-evil cycle, but he broke the cycle at the last moment and won the first victory of his career.

It also started his career with a 100% winning rate. To a certain extent, I have to thank Guangyin 9th Dan.

"Okay, I know you are good, so why don't you play chess? Go to an Internet cafe to play games?"

Lu Jingjing couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Ying Jie, who was sitting opposite and lamenting about life in an old-fashioned way, "What the hell are you underage lamenting about?"

"It's okay to go to an Internet cafe to play games. I only go to the Moyu Internet cafe, and I have a computer at home. Why go to an Internet cafe? Games are meaningless.

Mahjong, bridge, egg-breaking, Landlords... Forget it, you can't beat me in computing games. Do you want to play catching turtles? "

Ying Jie thought about it for a while, Lu Jingjing really couldn't compare to herself in these calculation games. She didn't even want to count cards, but the calculation results appeared in her mind inexplicably, and she was helpless.

In the past, when playing cards at the Chinese Chess Academy, everyone would forcibly mix several decks of cards together to a level that humans could not calculate. Otherwise, it would be pointless to calculate them directly with just one deck of cards.

"Okay, whoever loses gets a sticker on his face!"

"Have you watched too many movies? Are you so naive? Watch less domestic romance movies. You might as well watch Fuso, although it is also very sci-fi."

Think about the TV series I liked to watch in my previous life. The ones about escaping are shameful but useful. In future generations, they will be regarded as triple-A sci-fi masterpieces. Liu Cixin called them sci-fi after watching them, and waved her hands when Guofan came. Can't take a picture.

But, my wife is so beautiful!

Hearing Ying Jie's words, Lu Jingjing raised her head and asked, "Just tell me whether you dare?"

"Hey, how awesome are you?"

Ying Jie laughed when he heard this: "No matter what, I will win. No matter what I do, I will win! This is my purpose."

…

Seeing Lu Jingjing's face covered with paper, Ying Jie looked at the remaining two cards in the opponent's hand and couldn't help but say: "I told you, I will win 100%.

Otherwise, forget it, according to what Dasha said, surrender and lose half. "

"No, it's the last round! I will definitely win!"

Lu Jingjing clutched the two cards in her hand and looked at Ying Jie, who had a spotless face across from her, and said something unconvinced.

There is a 1/2 chance that as long as Ying Jie draws the wrong one, he will win!

Looking at Lu Jingjing, who was holding two cards in his hand, Ying Jie silently stretched out his hand. When his hand reached to the left, Lu Jingjing's whole face suddenly became energetic, and the corners of her mouth could not help but turn up.

Seeing this expression, Ying Jie silently turned his hand to the side again. Seeing Ying Jie's palm deviating from the direction, Lu Jingjing's whole face suddenly pulled down again.

Seeing Lu Jingjing's face change, Ying Jie strictly controlled his expression management, changed his direction again, admired Lao Lu's Sichuan face change several times, and finally put his hand to the right.

This is not a probability of 1/2, it is simply a thousand percent.

Seeing Ying Jie who had drawn the ghost card, Lu Jingjing immediately jumped up! He took a whole piece of paper and stuck it on Ying Jie's face.

"I just said that I definitely won in the end!"

"I know, I know, you're great, you're great, that's it."

Ying Jie couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, that's it for today. I need to take a short rest and prepare for the game in the evening."

Ying Jie stood up as he spoke, glanced at the calendar next to him, and suddenly said: "This year is 2012."

I don't seem to care what year it is this year. Before I know it, it's already the first or second year.

In 2012, nothing special seemed to have happened in this year in my previous life, whether it was Go, world form, or anything else. The only thing that impressed everyone was the rumor that had been hyped before, the end of the world.

The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012.

Of course, with many people on tenterhooks, this year passed so peacefully.

However, there has been a lot of nonsense news. For example, some people thought the end of the world was real and spent all their money. However, the end of the world did not come and the money was gone.

It has become the most painful thing in the world. People are still alive but their money is gone.

Lu Jingjing nodded when she heard this: "Yes, there has been a lot of hype on the Internet lately about the idea that this year will be the end of the world.

I think they all watched too much of the 2012 movie two or three years ago, and they really believe this statement. There are still some people on the Internet who have been exaggerating it.

And what if the end of the world really comes? Human beings don’t know how insignificant they are in the face of the power of nature. Even if there is a real nuclear blast, the old mother earth will not be able to shed even a layer of skin. "

Ying Jie couldn't help but smile when he heard this. People who have experienced 2012 will naturally sneer at this statement, but when he was young in his previous life, he was really worried about the end of the world.

Although I was worried and went on with my life normally, I was still looking forward to it inexplicably when the day came.

Lu Jingjing looked at Ying Jie and suddenly asked: "Ying Jie, if this year is really the end of the world, who do you want to spend it with on December 21st? If it is really the end of the world, who do you want to spend it with?" If the world ends, what else do you wish for this year?"

"Until the last day, who knows what you want deep down in your heart? The most difficult thing for a person to understand in this life is actually yourself. Until death is imminent, it is difficult for everyone to know what they really want.

It is said that when a person dies, his consciousness will be extremely clear and he can see all the scenes in his life. I don’t know if it is true. Maybe only then can everyone realize what his life is like, right? "

Ying Jie couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this: "But my goal has always been very simple. If I have any wish this year, I want to have a comparable opponent.

Then defeat him! Use him as a whetstone to make what I face stronger, and then continue to win! "

Ying Jie feels that his current strength is a bit inferior. He has already formed a crushing advantage over human chess players, and the probability of winning first is very high. This game is proof of this.

Even if you play against top human chess players, it will hardly have any training effect on yourself.

But for Jue Yi, Fen Xian had almost no chance of winning, while Rang Xian actually won.

I don’t know when the second-generation dog will come out. Once the second-generation dog comes out, even if the training is still based on human chess records as in the previous life, the opponent’s strength will probably not be much worse than Jueyi.

After all, the gap between the second generation and the third generation is not big. The second generation dogs still beat the third generation dogs many times, although the probability is very small.

So with my current strength, it might be a little difficult to win against the opponent.

"Does your school still have contact with the artificial intelligence company?"

Lu Jingjing shook her head when she heard this: "After the last man-machine war, there was basically no contact with the second phase of artificial intelligence research and development. They seemed to have spent a lot of effort there, but they didn't outsource it this time.

To a certain extent, they do seem to attach great importance to this project. After all, you gave him a head-on blow in the first stage and caused them a lot of trouble. "

“In this world of victory and defeat, there are only wins and losses, there is no such thing as a head-on attack.

I really want to know their progress. Maybe at the moment I don’t know, the artificial intelligence may have quietly surpassed me. "

When Ying Jie heard this, he couldn't help but say that once artificial intelligence develops, the speed will be unimaginable, but he just doesn't know what the other party's research progress is.

Will it happen this year?

In the previous life, the difference between the first-generation dog and the second-generation dog was only one year, right?

If the progress is the same as in the previous life, I will be able to see a new version of the dog by the end of this year at most.

Facing a stronger enemy, I must also become stronger. I am still one step away from winning the World Series Grand Slam.

Originally, when Ying Jie won his seventh world championship last year, he should have won a Grand Slam. However, before the final started, another boss announced that he would sponsor the competition and hold the World Series Qianling Cup. This made Ying Jie a Grand Slam. It is necessary to add a world championship trophy. Although it is not difficult, the corresponding time will be pushed back.

However, Ying Jie didn't care very much. After all, the more people were willing to hold the World Series, it meant that the sport of Go would receive more attention. As the first person, he would definitely get more dividends.

…

"What's the result of the experiment?"

After looking at the screen on the computer, the researcher nodded affirmatively to Dr. Wang: "Everything goes well. The Master's level has increased very quickly. I feel that it won't take long to surpass the first-generation version of Alpha Dog."

"How long will it take now?"

What the researchers heard said: "It will definitely take a few months. Relying on multiple machines and 48 TPUs, our training time has been greatly shortened, but even so, it will still take almost half a year."

"Half a year."

"This is already the fastest time. I'm afraid if it's too hasty."

After hearing what the researcher said, Dr. Wang waved his hand to tell the other person not to worry: "Don't worry, time is not an issue. The most important thing is that the research and development goes smoothly and everything is foolproof.

We have failed once, no matter how important everything is, we cannot afford to fail a second time.

AlphaGo’s strength is part of it, and more importantly, its subsequent applications of this program in other areas. We didn’t just create this artificial intelligence for Go. "

"I know."

“However, its achievements in Go are also crucial!”

Dr. Wang looked up at the chessboard on the screen: "In 1997, the chess myth Kasparov lost to the computer, and Go became the last dignity of mankind."

"What we have to do is to crush the last bastion of mankind and prove the victory of artificial intelligence."

“This victory will have our name etched on it.”

"After the successful development this time, we can contact some Go online game companies to conduct tests online, and sweep all the players in the world before the official performance game."

Dr. Wang doesn’t know if 2012 will be the end of the world.

However, this year must be the end of artificial intelligence in Go.

What’s more, Ying Jie’s end!

Ying Jie's end has arrived!

"Ayawn!"

"Ah sneeze!"

Looking at Ying Jie who sneezed twice in a row, Guangyin 9th Dan asked a little strangely: "Are you catching a cold?"

"How is it possible? I turn on the heating at home every day and I haven't gone out yet. How could I catch a cold?"

Ying Jie waved his hands when he heard this. He relied on heating this winter and wore big pants at home every day, but there was absolutely no chance of catching a cold.

One thought, two scoldings and three colds.

What bastard is scolding me?

Ps: 7,000 words, please continue asking for monthly votes~

Tomorrow is the last game of the team competition. I hope Ke can win. Then maybe he will be in a good mood and be willing to give autographs.

But to be honest, today's game is really... Xiaoxiao brand Jaguar special power bank, Tucker said it was good to use it.

Every time Ke always beats Xiaoxiao no matter how bad his condition is, and after winning, he can stand still for a while. Xiaoxiao has really become a power bank, my Xiaoxiao!
