Go Legend

   Chapter 546 Not a wise attempt

The "human-machine war" that Mr. Zhao Zhixun participated in just mentioned by Li Xiangping is a human-machine confrontation held in Japan half a year after "AlphaGo" defeated Li Shishi in real history. Zhao Zhixun challenged a man named ZEN The "Japanese Dog".

It's just a pity that in this "human-machine war" organized by the Japanese, although Mr. Zhao Zhixun won in the end, he defeated the Japanese dog with a score of 2 to 1, but he did not form enough influence later. , not only failed to honor human beings, but most people did not even admit that this was a real man-machine war.

   No other reason, because the Japanese dog was really weak at the time, and there were still many technical flaws. The loopholes were very obvious in the game, and it could not represent the development level of Go AI at that time.

In fact, if I really want to say it, before the "Alpha Dog" was born, the Japanese dog named "ZEN" was already famous in the Go world. The boss of all the "primitive dogs".

   However, to paraphrase the pretentious words of the lighthouse astronaut who landed on the moon: his own small step is a giant leap for the entire human race.

   This sentence is changed to this place, that is: From "ZEN" to "Alpha Dog", this may be only a small step for human computer technology, but it is a big step for Go technology.

   A big step forward!

In hindsight, the man-machine war launched by the Japanese was obviously a bit too hasty. "ZEN" was originally just a primitive dog. Although the paper by Google had been published at that time, the developers of "ZEN" were also concerned about this dog. The dog has been upgraded, rapidly improving its level in a very short period of time.

   However, at that time, "ZEN" was not a real mature dog, at best it was just an "enhanced version of the original dog".

   At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping re-entered the game room. While reviewing the man-machine battle, he was thinking about how to play chess in the afternoon.

  The reason why he chose to do this today, suddenly offering up the "cosmic flow" that he basically didn't use before, was of course influenced by the man-machine war.

   Of course, the "influence" mentioned here does not mean that Li Xiangping was influenced by "ZEN", but more influenced by Mr. Zhao Zhixun.

  Li Xiangping didn't know much about AI knowledge, but as a chess player, he was still impressed by the progress and pattern of the three games of chess that year.

  Because of the three games of chess that year, the pattern formed in the middle of the game is almost the same: Mr. Zhao Zhixun's games are all his "earth-boring weasel"-like extreme realism, while "ZEN" is like a cosmic flow.

   "ZEN" adopted the cosmic flow and finally lost to Mr. Zhao Zhixun. This is something that Li Xiangping already knows. If he adopts the cosmic flow, can he defeat Mr. Zhao Zhixun? This is what Li Xiangping wants to try today.”

   It's hard to understand what Li Xiangping's mentality is now. "ZEN" obviously lost, why should he learn it?

   In fact, to be honest, even Li Xiangping himself doesn't know why, there really is no other reason, he just wants to try it today, as if he has an inexplicable urge to "cosmic flow".

   After returning to the game room, since the last move in the morning was 46th in the overall game, it was the turn of Mr. Zhao Zhixun, who was playing black, to make the next move.

   But he didn't make a move immediately. Within 10 minutes after returning to the game room, Lao Zhao didn't rush to make a move.

While waiting for his opponent's move, Li Xiangping suddenly regretted a little bit. He felt that his strategic choice today might really be a bit unwise, especially when he saw his opponent's 47th move, this regret was even worse. �

   Lao Zhao's hand is not a particularly good hand, nor is it that Li Xiangping immediately felt that his situation was unfavorable as soon as this move was played.

It can even be said that Lao Zhao's move was completely within Li Xiangping's expectations. Stunned Nephew Wei

   As soon as this move is played, the pattern of the game is completely formed, and it is an almost irreversible pattern.

   This is the kind of confrontation pattern in which Black's extreme realism is against White's extreme appearance.

   Li Xiangping is not regretting this situation, what he is worried about is actually this kind of 'extreme' 鈥斺��

   As for why you are worried? Of course, chess players with the strength of the amateur first stage know that once such an extreme pattern is formed on the chessboard, it will look very exciting on the surface, but the subsequent play will become very simple and rude. burden.

  Black chess Zhi Gu succeeds in breaking the white chess big appearance, that is basically the black chess win.

   On the contrary, White wins.

   So the question is, in a professional game, if the two players are divided into "up" and "down", who would like this pattern more?

The answer is very simple. Of course, as the "starter" party, this pattern is more welcome, because under this extreme pattern, there are too many things to consider at all, and everyone is restricted to compete in the same field. Invisibly eliminate some other gaps between the two sides.

   To be specific to today's game of chess, compared with the current Mr. Zhao Zhixun, who is the "starter" and who is the "starter"?

Li Xiangping does not need hypocritical modesty. He thinks that of course he is "getting started" now, not to mention that Mr. Zhao Zhixun is now nearly 50 years old, even if it is his peak period more than ten years ago, because he has mastered some more advanced dogs. The tricks, they should be counted.

   But today, he actually adopts a move that is more beneficial to "starting", doesn't this seem a bit unwise?

   It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world. Since this pattern has been formed, it is impossible to go back. Now Li Xiangping can only think about how to win this game of chess.

   "Well, it's better to hope that you don't use two swords together."

   With this idea in mind, Li Xiangping put aside other distractions and began to deal with his opponent on the chessboard.

   After about an hour, when Li Xiangping saw his opponent's latest move, his brows furrowed even more ���

   This is the 69th move of the overall situation. To be honest, this move is still in Li Xiangping's calculation, but it is the last move he wants to see.

   This is a move similar to a "depth bomb". Once this move is made, the already extreme pattern becomes even more extreme.

  To the extreme to kill the dragon to decide the outcome, Li Xiangping seemed to have to kill this depth-bomb-like chess piece in order to compete with his opponent.

   After Mr. Zhao Zhixun made the move, Li Xiangping subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the chess piece. Can he kill this chess piece? Since he hasn't had time to calculate, Li Xiangping is still unclear for the time being, but based on his intuition, he thinks he can't kill him.

   And the source of his intuition is very simple, since he has also thought about how his opponent will play (although this is not the only way Li Xiangping predicted), he still thinks that killing chess may be very difficult.

   However, no matter how difficult it is, it seems that he must try it, because once this piece is escaped by the opponent, the big appearance of white will be almost eliminated. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it is not enough on the ground, so Li Xiangping must give it a try.

   After completing a few inevitable exchanges, Li Xiangping began to think deeply about the possibility of killing this chess piece.

   However, it is very regrettable, or it is a bit funny. In the following thinking, Li Xiangping did not find a way to kill the dragon. Instead, he helped his opponent to find a way to treat the orphan. ​​​​

This is the kind of dilemma. It is difficult for White to slay the dragon, but it is also difficult for Black to successfully cure the orphan. For example, the method of curing the orphan just discovered by Li Xiangping is also a very hidden and difficult to find method. It’s a pity For Li Xiangping, as long as this means exists, the dragon slaying route he designed will not be established.

  Li Xiangping began to rethink and wanted to find another dragon slaying route, but unfortunately nearly half an hour passed, and he could not find a completely feasible way to slay the dragon.

  The time gradually came to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that all the roads seemed to be impossible, Li Xiangping finally had no choice. He smiled bitterly and asked himself for help:

   "Brother Ding'an, what do you think I should do now?"

   "Sorry, little friend Xiangping, I haven't found a good solution for this situation, or you can try it somewhere"

   After listening to Lao Shi's suggestion, Li Xiangping smiled wryly.

  Well, if there is really no other way, then the method recommended by Lao Shi is really a good strategy:

  First: If it is played in this way, Dragon Slaying is definitely not possible, but if it evolves in this way, then after dozens of moves, White's position seems to be able to maintain.

   In other words, the method recommended by Lao Shi can minimize the losses. Being successful in being orphaned by others will certainly lead to the situation falling behind, but there seems to be a chance to deal with it later.

   The second and more important point is that the hidden orphan control method that Li Xiangping discovered just now is actually included in this change.

   What he said just now, "Slaying the Dragon is definitely not valid", is based on the foundation that Mr. Zhao Zhixun can be completely right, but what if he hadn't discovered that hidden method of treating orphans?

  If there is really no other way, then this is the only way to go, but after listening to Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping is still a little unwilling to give up, and he decides to think about it again.

   After all, the opponent is a veteran who is nearly 50 years old, so in the face of such an opponent, do you have to expect the opponent to make mistakes in the game?

   Besides, since Lao Shi said he didn't find a better way to play, can't he find it out by himself?

   It is precisely this mentality of comparing with his own cheating, and seeing that it is only a little more than 3 o'clock, there is still a lot of game time, which prompted Li Xiangping to try again.

   After another 10 minutes or so, Li Xiangping finally found a clue, or found a new fulcrum for thinking.

This fulcrum is nothing else, it is the hidden means of curing orphans. Weng Kong was forced to paralyze Tu and Shan ⒘ Temple.

  Li Xiangping's thinking began to diverge, and he began to look at this local issue from a higher perspective.

   Another 20 minutes passed, and a smile hung on the corner of Li Xiangping's mouth, because by this time, a new plan had been formed in his mind.

  Li Xiangping did not rush to shoot immediately. He spent about 5 minutes to verify that his calculation was correct, and then he picked up a white piece and photographed it on the chessboard.

   "Oh, little friend Xiangping! You are"

   Hearing Lao Shi's sudden voice, he didn't know why. At this moment, Li Xiangping was inexplicably happy, because he could hear from this voice that his plug-in really didn't count as a new change.

   At least at this moment, Shi Daqisheng should not have counted the new changes he discovered.

   Of course, Li Xiangping didn't have time to explain to him now. Anyway, after this move, there was not much change in the next 10 rounds, and it was close to the change of "One Way".

   And after this "One Way", his intentions will be revealed to the world immediately.

And Lao Shi was exclaiming that his opponent Lao Zhao did not suspect it at this time. After all, Li Xiangping's real intention was to hide behind nearly 20 moves, so facing an order that seemed normal and close to "One Way" method, most people will have it without a doubt.

   The rhythm of both sides suddenly accelerated, and in less than 10 minutes, more than ten moves were made.

   When the time came to around 3:40 pm, Li Xiangping made the latest move, which happened to be the 100th move in the whole game. Mr. Zhao Zhixun's hand finally stopped.

   And at this time, Li Xiangping finally had time to say a few words to his plug-in:

   "Hehe Ding'an brother, what do you think of my skill?"

   "Oh, I told you this long ago. You and I have different chess paths. This move is imaginative and extremely flexible. I am indeed ashamed of the talent of Xiaoyou Xiangping."

   "Haha too much, Ding'an brother has too much prize, this trick should not be praised like this"

   Strictly speaking, Li Xiangping's words are not particularly hypocritical. His move is not such a very cool "big move", and it is not because of this move that he can really slay the dragon.

   The only effect of this move is to actually entangle another piece of black.

   Another piece of chess that seemed to be safe but not fully alive came in.

   However, in today's situation, this move can play this role, and Li Xiangping thinks it is enough.

  Because of this move, it has changed the overall pattern of the game, from the original simple and rude life-and-death to White's both sides, to White's "attack profit".

   As soon as this move is played, before Black can successfully deal with his dragon, the piece he just got involved in will inevitably be looted.

  Although the looting of black chess is not too much, at best it is about 4 chess, but according to Li Xiangping's own calculation, he judged that this profit is enough.

   If you can really gain 4 moves, then this move will not be the advantage of black, but Li Xiangping's white will enter the final stage with a slight advantage.

   Obviously, this move was not only beyond Lao Shi's expectations, it seemed to be even more beyond Lao Zhao's expectations.

   So he also started taking long exams.

   What kind of direction will this game of chess go? The answer will be revealed immediately.
