Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Although Shang Chaotian learned from Paris's phone call with the students yesterday that Rui Zhao did not seem to be discouraged by the setback in entering the Olympics, but instead wanted to continue to push the AI ​​to the limit!

At that time, the old chess king Shang had very complicated feelings about Rui Zhao's reckless and stubborn attitude. After all, it was not easy to gain an advantage in front of AI!

But after watching this game, the chess association chairman's mindset underwent a complete change...

A black dragon stirs up white waves, two victories bring the whole game to an end!

These words, when put together, depict a magnificent and breathtaking chess game!

It transcends technology, and even more so, it transcends victory and defeat!
It was simply the most magnificent and awe-inspiring clarion call launched by human Go players toward the pinnacle of the art of Go!
Although from any perspective, this game is far from enough to prove that Rui Zhao has the ability to defeat AI...

However, the game's unrestrained imagination and ingenious craftsmanship possess a magic that can make all Go lovers tremble and boil with excitement!

Shang Chaotian felt his heart pounding wildly in his chest, and his blood rushing through his limbs like a scalding hot current!
So much so that the moment he finished reading the game record, he couldn't wait to log onto the Yiguo website, trying to share his excitement with millions of unknown enthusiasts!
It was like a beam of light piercing through the gloom, announcing to the world—

Faced with the cold computing power of machines, the wisdom, courage, and creativity of human chess players can still shine with such dazzling and captivating brilliance!

The allure of professional Go has never died! It's just waiting for a powerful enough soul to reignite it!
Thinking of this, Shang Chaotian, the backbone of Chinese Go, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed despite his excitement.

Just yesterday, in that cold meeting room in Paris, when he heard the verdict of "not passed," the taut string in his heart almost snapped.

Disappointment and frustration gripped him, and he almost resigned himself to the fact that Go's path to the Olympics might have truly come to an end.

But now...

Looking at the comments that erupted like a volcano on his phone screen, Shang Chaotian felt his face burning.

Yes!

The world's number one player hasn't given up yet! What's with me, the chairman of the chess association, so discouraged?!
A strong emotion, a mixture of self-blame and rekindled fighting spirit, instantly swept away all the gloom!

He straightened his back forcefully, as if trying to shake off that heavy sense of loss completely!

Moreover, Lei Qi said that Li Jingzhe seems to have found some weaknesses in AI, and he has been researching and discussing them with professors at Tsinghua University these days. Perhaps a breakthrough will be made soon!
If, as Lei Qi said, they have indeed found the AI's Achilles' heel, then combined with Rui Zhao's terrifying strength that is enough to shake the limits of human chess players' understanding, it's possible that...

Miracles really do happen!

Thinking of this, Shang Chaotian's eyes became incredibly sharp and resolute.

As the chairman of the chess association, I must at least do my best!
Without further hesitation, he swiped the screen, preparing to exit the current post and quickly find that "philosopher" to talk to! At the same time, he would seek further support from the center and the General Administration as needed!

Just as his fingertip was about to touch the back button in the upper left corner of the screen, a brand new trending post appeared at the top of the phone screen:

[Hey everyone, stop discussing the game! The Queen's post-match interview has blown us away again!]

"...

"……Eh?"

...

...

"...Congratulations to Rui Zhao, 9th Dan, on advancing to the semifinals of the Changqi Cup!"

"I must say, your game today was truly amazing, leaving chess fans all over the world in awe!!!"

"Your ability to overturn Nie Yunyi's entire central stronghold with a single dragon was already remarkable, but the 'double-living capture' before the endgame left the entire Go world in awe of your divine skill!!!"

How do you view your performance in today's game? Did you feel excited, even to yourself?

"Thank you! I feel like I played pretty well today."

"Ever since I started using AI as my hypothetical target, I have consistently practiced against it!"

"It seems that the speed of improvement in my strength after this kind of training is faster than when I was studying on my own."

"Indeed... in Go, one must learn from stronger opponents to make more significant progress! As for being able to review games verbally, that's just icing on the cake!"

"Playing hand games... just being able to place a piece is enough! The ancients were right!"

"We should have let Brother Zeng go a long time ago!"

"...Huh? Uh...cough! That, um..."

"Speaking of targeting AI... Actually, besides the competition today, there is another piece of news that everyone is very concerned about: Yesterday, we received definite news from Paris that Go has ultimately failed to be selected as an official event for the new Olympic Games."

"As a representative Go player who has been advocating for Go to be included in the Olympics, are you somewhat disappointed to hear this news?" "Hmm... it would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed at all."

"This is indeed a very regrettable thing. I think there may still be some misunderstandings or misrepresentations about Go, which has led to prejudice against the core charm of our game..."

"But that's okay! I will continue to play my own game well on the chessboard and use actual games to demonstrate the depth of thought and computational aesthetics that professional human chess players can achieve."

"I want everyone to see the brilliance and value of professional Go! At the same time, I also hope that through this effort, DeepBrain will truly recognize my strength, take my challenge seriously, and agree to this man-machine battle with me as soon as possible..."

"No! Rui Zhao, wait a minute!"
"You're actually thinking about facilitating a battle against DeepBrain's AI?!"

Of course!

"Go does have a certain viewing threshold. For ordinary viewers who don't know much about Go, their most basic idea is... 'whoever wins, they'll help them,' right?"

"Therefore, as long as the value of human Go can be proven on the board, people's views will naturally change!"

"If DeepBrains thinks I'm not good enough to challenge their latest and most powerful AI... then I'll do something even more spectacular, like I did today! I'll elevate my skills to a level they can't refuse, and they'll have to take me seriously!"

"So... I will keep proving myself until I force it to fight!"

"Force it to come out and fight?"
"Ah this..."

……

...Isn't that a bit too outrageous?!

At 6 p.m. on the same day, at the Meda Plaza Hotel, in the athletes' rest area.

After watching the interview video that Yang Manjing had just forwarded to him again, Chu Jun's expression, illuminated by the light from the phone screen, revealed a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation.

indeed.

After watching such an interview, it would be difficult for any normal person to remain calm.

He put down his phone, subconsciously pushed up his glasses, and his gaze involuntarily drifted into the distance.

At this moment, Yang Manjing was standing in the corner of the viewing terrace, with her back to this side, holding up her phone and talking on the phone.

Judging from her somewhat hurried tone and the occasional waving gestures, she was clearly having an "in-depth conversation" with the captain of her team, most likely inquiring about the authenticity of the interview content.

After winning against the Little Witch in today's "Couples Showdown" and advancing to the semifinals, Chu and Yang had originally planned to find a nearby restaurant for a nice meal, as a way for the winner to apologize to the loser.

This should have been a rare moment of relaxation after the competition... but all the plans were ruined.

Having just finished their match, the young couple sensed an unusual atmosphere brewing – hushed but excited chatter could be heard everywhere in the hotel, in the hallways, and even in the rest area.

All the conversations revolved around the other quarter-final match that had just concluded, and...

A divine performance by Wang Zhaojun that could dazzle everyone!
Although Chu and Yang, who were used to dealing with monsters, both knew very well that in the face of a real monster, the knowledge and limits of a so-called "mere genius" were insignificant.

Rui Zhao's thoughts and ambitions have long exceeded the realm that "ordinary elites" like them can fathom or even attempt to reach.

But at this moment, Rui Zhao's thoughts were so explosive that Miss Witch couldn't help but make a phone call to her commander to inquire about the situation.

—What do you mean by "forcing it to come out and fight"?!
This is truly astonishing to my friend!

Meanwhile, Chu Jun sat there waiting for his girlfriend to finish her phone call, while repeatedly replaying Rui Zhao's interview, feeling rather uneasy as he pondered when he would finally win an unlimited competition championship...

Just as Chu Jun was enveloped by these complex thoughts and unconsciously quickened the rhythm of his fingers tapping his knees, a crisp voice interrupted his reverie.

"Little glasses..."

Chu Jun was slightly taken aback. He looked up and saw that Yang Manjing had returned from the terrace at some point and was standing by the coffee table in front of him.

Instead of her usual sly or relaxed smile, her expression was somewhat strange, as if the phone call had exhausted her. Yet, her bright eyes still shone with a light that suggested she had made a tremendous decision.
"that……

"I want to discuss something with you..."

Seeing his girlfriend staring intently at him, Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly put down his phone, sat up straight, and said:
"Ah! Jingjing, you say it!"

At this point in the conversation, he thought his girlfriend had brought some big news after communicating with Rui Zhao, and he planned to have a good chat with her.

However, when Yang Manjing took a deep breath and said this, Chu Jun was instantly shocked by something far more powerful than Rui Zhao's announcement during the interview earlier...

"I want to give up the titles of 'Empress' and 'Mulan'!" (End of Chapter)
