Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 11 11. The old man plays with the naughty boy

"It's just a little bit close, just a little bit close!"

"Only about five eyes."

"About three eyes."

"One and a half glances..."

As the chess game continued to progress, the black and white chess pieces continued to alternate on the chessboard. Wan Fang used all the official tricks he had learned in his life, and the situation became closer and closer.

closer and closer……

I always feel like victory is right in front of my eyes, so close...

But, it seems like it’s always just a little bit off.

Even if I try my best, it seems to be within reach, but it is like a mirage.

The sky also darkened without anyone noticing.

This game of chess was played for nearly four hours.

"How's the situation?"

"The difference between eyes is so close that I can't even count them."

"White wins by an eye and a half."

As a professional ninth-dan player, Huang He quickly counted the numbers on the chessboard.

Hearing this, the surrounding area suddenly became bustling.

"How is it possible? A professional chess player actually lost?"

"Can professional chess players actually lose?"

"I was bragging so harshly before the game, but now I'm so embarrassed."

"Maybe it was a miscalculation?"

The leader of the first center looked at the chessboard in front of him in disbelief. Before the game, he said that Ying Jie could not hold up to fifty moves, but the opponent actually defeated the professional chess player.

"I lost."

Wan Fang's expression changed from relaxed and leisurely throughout the game, to confusion when he didn't know when he was at a disadvantage, to desperately chasing after bloodshot eyes in the official stage.

Until the final despair.

After counting the number of eyes, Wan Fang's entire face could be said to be as gray as ashes.

"Your chess skills are not weak."

Ying Jie covered his chess jar and said silently.

It's just that I'm stronger.

"Did you do this on purpose? In the official stage, you deliberately let things go, giving me hope again and again, and then crushing it.

Retaliation for my previous provocation? "

Wan Fang looked at Ying Jie in disbelief. When he was an official, he saw countless opportunities and countless concessions from the other party.

Let yourself feel that you are only a few feet away from victory, but in the end you realize that the victory you thought was so far away is actually a mirage.

You can see it, but you can never hold it in your hands.

The closer you get to hope, the more you lose.

The other party was like an adult teasing a child with candy. He stretched out the candy again and again, but took the candy back easily, deliberately torturing himself.

The entire game was under the control of the opponent, and he had no chance at all.

how so? Just an amateur chess player.

"No, I just chose a move that will definitely win.

The first of the Ten Secrets of Go is not to be greedy for winning. "

In the final stage, Wan Fang fought against Ying Jie to the death. This calamity placed very little burden on Ying Jie. If Ying Jie followed in the calamity, he might be able to make twenty or thirty shots.

But Ying Jie resisted this temptation and simply stuck to it, choosing the safest way to end it.

Looking at the end of the chess game, as the referee announced the result, everyone around him was the first to applaud, and finally the entire stadium burst into applause.

In everyone's eyes, the invincible professional chess player actually lost. Ying Jie was like a warrior slaying a dragon.

Ying Jie created a miracle!

Chengdong Middle School also created a miracle.

3:1 win over Tzu Chi Middle School! Advance to the finals.

"Awesome! I knew you could win!"

Seeing Ying Jie standing up, Lu Jingjing went over and hugged him.

Ying Jie also took advantage of the situation and leaned on Lu Jingjing. He was really exhausted. This game of chess was played for nearly four hours.

After four hours of high-intensity fighting, Ying Jie's physical strength was basically close to its limit.

Don't think that playing Go is not tiring at all. Mental sports sometimes consume more energy than physical sports.

There are even anecdotes about the bloody game of Go, in which more than ten kilograms of meat were lost in one game.

Next time for this kind of competition, I have to prepare some high-calorie foods such as chocolate in advance, otherwise I won't be able to survive such a long battle.

Don't be surprised, it's not uncommon for players to eat chocolate, drink coffee, etc. during the World Series finals.

When the rules of Go were not yet perfect, there was even an extra-game trick of putting smelly socks next to the board.

Even when your opponent cannot calculate the situation clearly, he or she will judge who is better in the situation based on your expression.

It may even involve a series of factors such as psychological warfare.

Talking to chess players is indeed a very interesting thing. It is much more interesting than playing online chess in my previous life.

It is almost 18:00 in the evening.

Originally, the organizers planned to decide the champion in the afternoon. After all, in normal amateur competitions, it would be difficult for a set to last more than an hour for everyone's level.

But I didn't expect that a game of chess would take so long. After discussion, the final could only be postponed to tomorrow.

But at this time, the other finalist team directly chose to abstain.

A team that beats professional chess players has no hope of winning.

In this way, Chengdong Middle School won the championship trophy of the Jinghai City Go League without any bloodshed in the last game.

Except for Ying Jie, the other people standing on the stage holding cups and taking photos seemed to feel a little unreal.

"Amazing! It's really amazing. Ying Jie actually defeated a professional chess player. Am I just dreaming?"

Zhang Zhipeng, who was standing next to Yu Renjian, couldn't help but complain: "Can you pinch yourself when you are dreaming?"

It's just that you don't feel any pain, so how do I know if you are dreaming or not?

"Haha, I will be able to brag in the future. Ying Jie and I will defeat the professional chess players together!"

"It's like you and Jordan scored 57 points together, right? Stop bragging."

"What a great bragging material. When I return to school the day after tomorrow, I guarantee that the whole school will know about it."

"But it was really dangerous! I almost caught up with him in the final stage. Professional chess players are really good."

Hearing this, Ying Jie shook his head and said nothing.

In the final official stage, I had already calculated all the changes clearly and chose the bigger one. Even if the other party finally opened the calamity, I would simply eliminate the calamity.

It seems that Wan Fang is infinitely close, almost catching up, but the difference is locked by his own calculations.

From the moment he entered the official stage with an advantage, Wan Fang had no hope of winning.

"It's a pity that it's just that little bit close."

Different from the lively photo taking next to him, Wan Fang still sat alone in his seat stupidly, looking at the chess game in front of him in disbelief.

It is still difficult to accept my failure.

The leader of No. 1 Middle School couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the final chess game.

This kind of half-hearted victory is so disappointing.

It seemed like he was about to win, but he was so close.

It's more uncomfortable than being killed by others in the middle game.

"I was just careless!"

Listening to the whispers of the people next to him, Wan Fang blushed, slapped the table and stood up.

Wan Fang had already understood the gap between himself and Ying Jie, but out of his so-called dignity, he still chose to find a fig leaf for himself.

It's just that I was careless and had bad luck.

"No, you didn't underestimate the opponent at all. This game is your best game in recent times.

This is a gap in chess ability. If you deny the gap and refuse to admit it, you will never make progress. "

"Who are you?! Dare..."

Hearing the words that revealed his fig leaf, Wan Fang turned his head in anger and saw the person he least wanted to see.

The leader of his own Go club team, Huanghe Jiudan.

"You...why are you here?"

Huang He did not answer Wan Fang's question, and pointed at the chessboard with the folding fan in his hand: "It seems that the white chess piece has won by an eye and a half, but it is actually a complete victory for the opponent.

At the official stage, the boy holding the white chess piece had already counted all the numbers, giving up the small ones and choosing the big ones, and firmly grasped all the opportunities for victory.

This is clearly an old man playing with a naughty boy, and you have no chance of defeating him.

If he had been more aggressive and robbed you, he might have even won twenty or thirty points, but he suppressed his murderous intention and chose the safest way to win.

It's like the state of Dugu Qiubai in the novel at the age of forty, with a heavy sword but no edge and no skill.

As a young man, he has very strong chess skills and a chess style that I have never seen before. It is hard to imagine that he is just a teenager with this sophisticated style of playing chess.

At the same age, no, if this is his normal level, no one among the new generation of chess players can match him! "

Huang He didn't fully say what he said. Based on his feelings just now, he didn't even feel 100% sure that he could defeat this boy.

It seems a little too alarmist to say it. The top five chess players in China dare not say that they are 100% sure of defeating a teenager who has not yet become a professional chess player. I am afraid no one will believe it.

However, Huang He really felt this way. If he played against this boy, all he could do was to kill hard in the middle game, lead the situation to the most complex state, use his computing power to overpower the opponent, and introduce the rhythm he was most familiar with. Defeat each other with rich experience.

Looking at the silent Wan Fang, Huang He couldn't help but shook his head.

"Don't you understand? This young man's chess is already one step ahead of us in terms of layout. All he lacks is more powerful calculations and experience in the middle game.

This is a young man who is expected to... no, will definitely aspire to the top of Go.

Wanfang, don’t think that everything will be safe once you embark on the career path.

On the road of Go, the young man just now is already ahead of you. He is the peak you are destined to climb.

Failure is not terrible, but if you don’t admit failure, you will never make progress!

Chase with awe and challenge with a trembling heart.

When I get back in the evening, I will tell you about today's game of chess. This young man's overall awareness and understanding of weight and thickness are worth learning even for me. "
