Go: 50-50 split between me and AI

Chapter 167 166. There was a girl named Da Zhuang
"This year's scale is really huge. There are 510 contestants from dozens of countries and regions."

Cuckoo Yun looked at the list in amazement.

Competitions of this scale, or international competitions, can indeed be said to be extremely rare.

In general international competitions, this competition has a maximum of 64 players.

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

Xiao Xiao, as a referee, 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 a chance to warm up and brush up their resumes."

Although there are many countries participating in the Go event of the Asian Games, except for China, Japan and South Korea, the professional players that can be gathered from other countries and regions may be counted on one hand.

Moreover, many countries want to participate in the Asian Games, but they still lack the results of the main events, so they apply to the Olympic Committee of the region for qualification.

As the host country, China naturally has to find a way to solve it.

The solution is to run a competition 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 game after all.

Even if you gather the number of people, you have to gather some people. It's better to cheat everyone than not to cheat, otherwise it will be too shabby.

"Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can still gather a few 7th-dan players, such as India and Brunei, and even the top players come to participate.

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

Cuckoo Yun looked at the Go level marked behind the contestants and couldn't help shaking his head.

Based on the popularity of Go in these countries, this team is estimated to be a temporary team.

"It's a good thing, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to play, the game of Go can only be promoted if more people participate in it.

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

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

However, if the same event is held for three consecutive Asian Games, it can become a fixed event.

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 South Korea will be 100% canceled.

Go promotion has a long way to go.

Ying Jie shook his head helplessly.

Now the viewing threshold of Go is still too high.

Although the emergence of Ai has indeed made many top players feel that playing chess is not interesting, it has indeed lowered the threshold for viewing Go.

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

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

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

"The favorites to win the championship are nothing more than these few. For example, Long Yan's 8th dan, Yamamoto Taro's 7th dan, Gao Changxi's 7th dan, and Maozi's Victor 7th dan made it to the finals last year by surprise, which is also quite impressive."

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

But when I arrived, I had nothing to do, so I could only sit by the side.

Ying Jie and the others they knew had nothing to do, so they sat beside them and chatted about matters related to the World Amateur Competition.

Although there are a large number of youngsters participating in this competition this year, most of them do not have professional chess skills.

But Ying Jie and the others just talked about the few amateur kings who are completely professional, and they are not ordinary low-level occupations.

Champions will basically only be born among them.

Not everyone is like Ying Jie and Xiao Xiao, who has surpassed low-level professional chess skills before setting a certain level.

"Longyan's 8th paragraph is not good enough. After all, I am old and my computing power is here."

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

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

If Long Yan's 8th Duan is ten years younger, it will be at the level of a high-dan professional.This kind of game is completely passable to win the championship.

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

Moreover, the schedule of this game is tight, with four consecutive games played in one day.

Whether Long Yan's 8-stage body can withstand such a tight schedule is another matter.

"There is actually an amateur chess player in Fusang, Fujii, who is in his 60s, participating in the competition. His career is really long there."

"There are also younger ones, the eight-year-old Mei Yasunaga is also Fuso's 5th dan.

At the same time contributed the oldest and youngest players in this competition. "

After Ying Jie read all the entry lists, he also found some unexpected gains.

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

Nanke, Tang Jiajia, and Korean kid Shin Jung-wook.

So many youngsters.

Ying Jie suddenly remembered that the players who were eliminated on the first day will be organized to participate and guide chess with professional players on the second day.

resignedly.

I probably have to point out the younger generation again.

Forget it, just kill one big dragon every game, you can't kill too many, the main thing is to train their mentality.

"Referees put on your referee badges, everyone, check if there is anything missing on the competition table near you?

There is still a period of time before the opening ceremony will begin, and everyone is ready for work. "

The referee came in at this time and mobilized everyone to find something to do if they had nothing to do, and it was fine to hang around.

Hearing the sound, Ying Jie and the others all stood up from their seats, and after walking around the area, they found a corner and leaned against it.

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

With more than 500 contestants and team leaders speaking in various languages, maintaining order is a hassle.

Because Ying Jie's English is not good, so he doesn't need to be a tour guide for others, he just stands at the door to maintain order.

"Ying Jie?"

A fat uncle came in, looked at Ying Jie who was standing at the door in a daze, and said something strange.

"Kim Dong-seok's ninth dan."

Ying Jie was a little surprised to see the uncle with a bag on his back. This man actually appeared in this competition.

Did you lead the team?
Seeing the referee certificate hanging on Yingjie's neck, Jin Dongxi Jiudan was a little surprised: "You actually came here to be a referee."

Although there was a one-time relationship, Ying Jie can reach his current achievements at this age.

Jin Dongxi thought that this guy, like Cui Ze, was a paranoid who only knew how to play chess and didn't do anything else.

"Wait a minute and have time for the next set."

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

When we met in the bathhouse last time, although Ying Jie had some achievements, Jin Dongxi didn't take it seriously.

Every year in Go, there will be some low-level players who suddenly kill some high-level players with a nervous knife outbreak, and even cut several times in a row.

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

But Ying Jie's performance for half a year has nothing to do with the nerve knife.

Enemy.

"The referee can't leave the field. There will be a chance in the World Series next year."

Upon hearing this, Ying Jie smiled and said something.

There is a saying in South Korea that there are three musketeers, and Kim Dong-seok is called the hidden fourth musketeer because of his older age.

If his first world champion can meet these four pillars of South Korea at the same time, and then burn them together.

This gold content.

There are a full 24k.

It didn't matter to Jin Dongxi who was rejected, he wanted to try Yingjie's depth before the competition, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.

"By the way, my daughter is studying at the Chinese Chess Academy. She admires you very much. If you have the opportunity, take care of you."

After hearing that, Ying Jie nodded: "OK, what's her name?"

"Jin Zhiyan, if you are more kind, you can call him Dazhuang."
