Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 1 1. Ying Jie

"White's piece is almost ready to be turned over,"

"18 consecutive wins."

"Lao Yu, an old man, was beaten to the point where he was given the fourth son. Generally, he can't do it at the beginning of his career."

"I can't tell. Lao Yu's calculation power has obviously declined in the middle game, and he can't see clearly whether he is alive or dead. If it were me, I would definitely win with the fourth son."

In the chess hall, a bunch of people gathered around a chess table, looking at the young people and old people playing chess, whispering in low voices.

He spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the chess players.

"I lost."

The old man counted the numbers on the chessboard again, took out two chess pieces from his chess jar and placed them on the chessboard, signaling that he had given up.

Seeing the old man's actions, Ying Jie also bowed in return: "I accept."

The old man shook his head when he heard this: "No, I am convinced that I lost. The gap between the four men is only a hundred moves. The gap is too big."

Let’s not talk about this anymore. Teacher Xiaoying, let’s review the disk. Let’s study what’s wrong? "

“Actually, there is no big problem in the overall situation. If there is a problem, it’s just in this area.

The typical "orioles and butterflies" chess pattern is essentially just a local life-or-death issue. Although it is a bit more complicated, at your level you shouldn't make this kind of mistake. "

Looking at the problem pointed out, the old man touched his bald head sheepishly: "As we get older, we can no longer calculate clearly."

"Teacher Ying, please don't give him face. To put it bluntly, it collapsed at the beginning. It took more than a hundred moves to catch up. If it weren't for the little teacher Ying in the upper left corner, the one hundred moves would still be about the same."

"Old Wang, are you embarrassed to talk to me? I forgot how you were killed yesterday.

I just ended it honestly, but I still had to compete with Teacher Xiaoying, and ended up losing thirty or forty times. "

"My attitude is to have a learning mentality. What's the difference between losing ten points and losing thirty? The important thing is learning! Unlike you, you can't find a place to fight at all, and you won't be nourished if you win.

Look at your side, as long as you are willing to cut it off, White may not be able to kill you. No matter how bad you are, you can still survive, but you will be intimidated. "

"Shit, this part has no value at all. Do you know what it means to give up and fight for the first place!"

"Abandoned all the dragons, right?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Several elderly people around Ying Jie were watching chess while pointing on the chessboard, saying that they should play this and this, and joking that the other party was playing really bad. The store was filled with all kinds of cheerful atmosphere.

Ying Jie closed his eyes while listening to the noisy sounds around him, not caring about the discussions around him. This game of chess had no value for him to review.

The only value is...

"Win this game and get 5 unique points."

"One more game should be enough. I can play against Jueyi in the evening and give it to three pieces, and then review the game."

Looking at the points in his system, Ying Jie nodded silently, then raised his head and asked the people around him: "Let's play another game. Can anyone give me some advice?"

"Let me do it."

Ying Jie raised his head and glanced at the old man who was speaking. He seemed a little unfamiliar. He had probably never encountered him after playing chess here for a month.

"Mr. Qi?"

"Aren't you in the imperial capital? When will you come back?"

"Lao Qi, you haven't cashed in on Yunzi who lost the last bet."

The old man ignored the greetings of the old friends around him, pulled out his chair and sat opposite Ying Jie: "My name is Qi Zhenxi, and I am the owner of this store."

"Hello."

Ying Jie nodded when he heard this. He turned out to be the owner of the store. No wonder everyone around him knew him.

"I heard from the front desk that you played chess here and won more than ten games in a row?"

"Counting the game just now, it's 18 games."

Before Ying Jie could say anything, the old man next to him started introducing me sentence by sentence.

"Teacher Xiaoying came here more than a month ago. He first assigned us first, and he has been playing with us until now. He has never lost."

Let the fourth son?

Qi Zhenxi frowned when he heard this. He knew several old friends here, and several of them were considered strong players in amateur five-dan.

Even if he is getting older now, his calculation power has declined, and his strength is no longer good, he may not be able to move four sons at the beginning of an ordinary career.

He should be a high-end boy, and not an ordinary one.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhenxi couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment. He originally heard someone from his chess hall call and tell him that a talented young man had arrived. His accent should be from this city. He also wanted to have the opportunity to train local Go players.

You should probably have your beard cut off by now, and it probably took a lot of time to cultivate.

After all, from a normal person's point of view, amateur 5th Dan may be self-taught over time.

But the road from amateur five-dan to professional can only be taken in dojos in big cities like the imperial capital Hangcheng.

If someone can become a professional through self-study, he is no longer a genius, but someone only in novels and TV series.

"Which dojo are you from?"

"Nie...ah, I haven't been to the dojo here to study."

"Have you never been to a dojo?"

Qi Zhenxi didn't believe it when he heard this. There are no masters with a level five or above to teach, teach tricks, and play repeated games at the same level. It would be difficult to make progress.

"There is a teacher to teach you."

Well, the art teacher.

"How long have you been studying for?"

"All told, it should be six years."

Ying Jie estimated the time he spent learning chess in his previous life, and it was about this time.

"Okay, let's take a guess first."

Although Qi Zhenxi was a little confused by Yingjie's words, he still wanted to learn more about the opponent through Go.

Go is also called "hand talk". Both parties use moves as a language to communicate, and each move conveys information.

Due to different personalities and various reasons, everyone's chess style is also different. Even in the later AI era, every chess player's chess style continues to move closer to AI, but they will still retain their own unique style, except for a certain player. completely changed.

Qi Zhenxi grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the jar and held it in his hand, while Ying Jie also took a chess piece from his own jar and placed it on the chessboard.

Go is divided into two pieces, black and white. Black comes first and white comes last. In normal games, guess first.

That is, the party with the upper hand or the higher rank takes a handful of white stones from a pile of white stones and places them on the chessboard, and then the other party guesses.

The other side takes out one or two chess pieces from black, which means you guess whether the opponent's chess piece is an odd or even number.

If Black guesses correctly, then he will hold the black piece and move first.

If the guess is wrong, the white piece is taken.

Because black has the first-mover advantage, under the current Go rules, white has purpose compensation.

Tiemu means that the first player must give up a certain advantage to the player behind. The Chinese rule is that black chess sticks 3 and 3/4 pieces, about seven and a half meshes, while the Japanese and Korean rules are six and a half meshes.

The meaning of handicap is more clear, that is, the player with higher chess skills lets the player with lower skill put a few stones on the Go board first.

Giving one piece first can be simply understood as about ten meshes, and two pieces is equivalent to making yourself almost twenty meshes. It is usually a top-hand vs. bottom-hand method, and the gap between levels is offset by handicap.

Qi Zhenxi placed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard and simply counted them to an odd number.

Ying Jie guessed correctly and Black went first.
