Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 167 166. There is a girl named Da Zhuang

“This year’s competition is really big, with 512 contestants from dozens of countries and regions participating.”

Cugu Yun looked at the list and marveled.

A competition of this scale and an international event can indeed be said to be extremely rare.

Generally speaking, when it comes to international competitions, there are only sixty-four people at most.

There are more than 500 people from dozens of countries. As far as Go competitions are concerned, the scale can be said to be unprecedented.

As a referee, Xiao Xiao also got this year's entry list: "The Asian Games will be held next year, and China's hosting of this competition this year is nothing more than giving other countries an opportunity to warm up and brush up their resumes."

Although many countries participate in the Asian Games Go event, excluding China, Japan and South Korea, the number of professional players from other countries and regions can probably be counted on one hand.

Moreover, many countries want to participate in the Asian Games but lack results in major events and apply to their local Olympic committees for qualifications.

As the host, China naturally has to find a solution.

The solution is to hold competitions to brush up people’s resumes.

Although everyone knows that Go is definitely a competition between China, Japan and South Korea, it is an Asian event after all.

Even if you have to gather the number of people, you still have to gather the number of people. It is better to lie to everyone than not to lie, otherwise it will be too shabby.

“Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can still make up a few 7-dan players, and there are even high-level players from places like India and Brunei.

I guess they may not be able to point it out clearly on the board. "

Cugu Yun looked at the Go levels marked behind the contestants and couldn't help but shake his head.

Based on the popularity of Go in these countries, this team is probably a makeshift team.

“It’s a good thing, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to play. Only by getting more people involved can the sport of Go be promoted.

If Go can become a fixed event in the Asian Games, various countries will also increase their investment in the Go project, which will really help the promotion of Go in Asia. "

Go is said to be an Asian sport, but in fact it is a game played by China, Japan and South Korea.

The same event can become a fixed event if it is held in three consecutive Asian Games.

If Go can become a fixed event in the Asian Games, the benefits to the promotion of Go in Asia are unimaginable.

But it is a pity that the next one in South Korea is 100% canceled.

There is a long way to go to promote Go.

Ying Jie shook his head helplessly.

The threshold for watching Go is still too high now.

Although the emergence of AI has indeed made many top players feel that playing chess is boring, it has indeed lowered the threshold for watching Go.

There is such a thing as winning rate. Regardless of whether you can understand it or not, everyone can say a few words.

For a sport, lowering the threshold for viewing is undoubtedly very important.

"Who do you think can win the championship this year?"

"The favorites to win the championship are just these few. For example, Long Yan 8th dan, Yamamoto Taro 7th dan, Gao Changxi 7th dan, and Maozi's Victor 7th dan unexpectedly reached the finals last year, which is also quite impressive."

As a referee, as required, Ying Jie and the others came to the competition venue early in the morning to wait.

But after arriving, there was nothing to do except sit around.

Ying Jie and several people he knew had nothing to do, so they sat nearby and chatted about matters related to the World Amateur Competition.

Although there are a large number of teenagers participating in this competition this year, most of the children do not have professional-level chess skills.

And the amateur kings that Ying Jie and the others talked about just now are completely professional, and they are not ordinary low-level professionals.

Champions are basically born among them.

Not everyone is like Ying Jie Xiaoxiao, who has a chess ability that exceeds that of a lower-level professional before he has even determined his level.

"Long Yan's 8th-dan level is not very good. After all, he is older and his computing power is here."

Ying Jie shook his head when he heard his coach's name.

I often play chess with this guy in the team, so I naturally know him very well.

If Long Yan's 8th Dan was ten years younger, he would be at the level of a high-level professional. This kind of competition is a complete victory.

But it is a pity that he is now a middle-aged man in his 40s. Although his experience is still there, his computing power has declined.

Moreover, the schedule of this competition is tight, with four games in a row in one day.

Whether Long Yan's 8th-level body can withstand such an intense schedule is another matter.

"Fuso actually has an amateur chess player Fujii who is over 60 years old coming to participate in the competition. He has a really long career there."

"There are also younger ones, eight-year-old Mei Yasu, 5th Dan, is also a Fuso.

At the same time, they contributed to the oldest and youngest chess players in this competition. "

After Ying Jie read through all the entries, he found something unexpected.

For example, several children I know actually participated in the competition.

Nan Ke, Tang Jiajia, and kid Shin Zhengxu from South Korea.

There are so many young people.

Ying Jie suddenly remembered that the players who were eliminated on the first day would be organized to participate in chess coaching with professional players on the second day.

have no choice.

Most likely I will have to give advice to the younger generation again.

Forget it, just kill one big dragon in each game, not too many, the main thing is to train their mentality.

"Referees, please put on your referee badge. Please check the competition table near you to see if there is anything missing?

There is still a while, the opening ceremony will begin, everyone is ready. "

The referee came in at this time and mobilized everyone to find something to do if they had nothing to do, just wander around.

Hearing the sound, Ying Jie and the others stood up from their positions. After walking around in a circle, they found a corner and leaned against the wall.

As the time for the opening ceremony of the game approached, a large number of people began to enter the stadium.

With more than 500 contestants and team leaders speaking all kinds of different languages, maintaining order is a troublesome thing.

Because Ying Jie didn't speak English well, he didn't have to act as a tour guide. He just stood at the door to maintain order.

"Ying Jie?"

A fat old man walked in and looked at Ying Jie standing dumbly at the door and said something strange.

"Kim Dong-seok 9th Dan."

Ying Jie was a little surprised to see the uncle carrying a bag. This man actually appeared in this competition.

Did you bring a team here?

Seeing the referee certificate hanging around Ying Jie's neck, Jin Dongxi 9th Dan was a little surprised: "You actually came over to be the referee."

Although there was a chance encounter, Ying Jie was able to achieve his current results at this age.

Jin Dongxi thought that this guy was just like Cui Ze, a paranoid who could only play chess and not do anything else.

"The next game will be played later when there is time."

After Jin Dongxi said something to the person next to him, the middle-aged man next to him led the team into the field. Instead, Jin Dongxi stayed next to Ying Jie and chatted.

The last time they met in the bathhouse, although Ying Jie had made some achievements, Jin Dongxi didn't take it to heart.

Every year in Go, some low-level players suddenly kill some high-level players with a sudden burst of nerves, and even kill several in a row.

But after two months, the level immediately returned to normal.

But Ying Jie's results for half a year have nothing to do with the Neurosurgery.

The enemy.

"The referee cannot leave the field. There will be a chance for the World Series next year."

When Ying Jie heard this, he smiled and said.

There is a saying in South Korea that there are three swordsmen, and Kim Dong-seok is called the hidden fourth swordsman because he is older.

What if, for my first world championship, I could meet these four Korean pillars at the same time and then burn them together.

This gold content.

A full 24k.

Jin Dongxi didn't mind being rejected. He originally wanted to test Ying Jie's skills before the competition, but if it didn't work, forget it.

"By the way, my daughter is studying abroad at the Chinese Chess Academy. She really admires you. If you have the chance, take care of her."

After hearing this, Ying Jie nodded: "Okay, what's her name?"

"Jin Zhiyan, if you want to be more friendly, you can call me Da Zhuang."
