Chapter 151 The best of times, the worst of times
The second floor of "Huanxi Waterside" in Qiantang City.

Ni Jue pulled Lei Qi, who had just calmly collected the chess pieces, aside and expressed his "opinions".

Although Lei Qi had just lost the game, he was not too depressed.

He listened to Ni Jue's opinion quietly, and asked thoughtfully:

"Ni Jiuduan, you mean... Lin Ruixin only has this one flying knife?"

"Correct!"

Ni Jue explained:
"I don't know if you've noticed, but in the last three games, Lin Ruixin played two consecutive stars. And when you played Xiaofei Hangjiao, he didn't respond. It was obvious that he did it so that you could play the flying knife Yinyi today.

"This move was so deliberate, which means he has no other tricks at hand. It's impossible for me to be so obvious. So, you can rest assured in the last game of chess. He will never have a flying knife of this level again."

Of course, on the surface this is Ni Jue’s “analytical inference”.

But in fact, Ni Jue made this judgment based on the truth behind it that he knew.

This flying knife was forged by him, and Lin Ruixin just took advantage of it.

It goes without saying how much effort was required to explore these various areas.

Lin Ruixin can hardly even guarantee a normal amount of training on weekdays. If Ni Jue were to tell him that Lin Ruixin has hidden a flying knife of this level, he would definitely not believe it.

"I understand. Thank you very much, Ni Jiuduan, for your help and advice!" Lei Qi thanked him with a smile.

Oh! Shame on you!

Hearing this, Ni Jue said to himself.

Although Ni Jue never had any intention of doing anything bad to Lei Qi - on the contrary, he actually hoped that Lei Qi could successfully challenge him in this chess master battle.

But it is a fact that the flying knife forged by him did make Lei Qi suffer the consequences in this game.

But Ni Jue naturally couldn't tell the whole story now, so he temporarily stopped talking about this and answered vaguely:

"It's okay, it's what I should do. I don't really like the fact that Lin Ruixin is still at the position of chess master.

"Wait until you finish the fifth game, then we'll have a good chat!"

From Ni Jue's words, Lei Qi could tell that the situation behind it seemed a bit complicated.

However, he also knew that his top priority now was to win the Chess Saint War, so he naturally didn't want to be distracted by other things. So he didn't ask any more questions, but just gave a polite smile in return.

...

...

"You're asking about this throwing knife? I got inspiration from a game and came up with it. It's a lot of hard work!
"Hmm? Which game?

"Haha! I'll keep this secret for now. I'll announce the answer when the time is right. Please wait and see..."

Dongjiang City, Longjingjiangan Community.

On the mobile phone screen, Lin Ruixin was still talking at the post-match press conference, appearing confident and arrogant.

Li Jingzhe, who had just walked into the study, glanced at the post-match press conference of the fourth game of the Chess Saint Tournament, which was being broadcast live on the mobile phone on the table, and then looked at Li Haoming, who was running the AI ​​to analyze the chess game with great interest, and reminded him again:

"Dad! It's time for dinner!"

Hearing his son's voice coming from the study door, Li Haoming said perfunctorily without even turning his head:
"Ah, right now!"

"You have already said 'immediately' three times..."

Li Jingzhe's urging tone was full of helplessness.

"Speaking of which...how come you are so obsessed?

“I’ve seen many old Go fans online say that Go is no longer interesting after AI was introduced!
"Besides, with AI, wouldn't it seem like professional players make a lot of mistakes when they play chess?"

"No point? Full of mistakes?"

Li Haoming finally turned his head and looked at his son with raised eyebrows.

“I think it’s understandable if some professional players have this kind of thought. After all, when you’ve been working hard for your whole life, suddenly there comes a master who you can never beat. It’s a bit like having your self-esteem shattered.

"But if a chess fan has this idea, then I don't think he really loves Go."

Li Jingzhe was a little surprised: "Isn't it because of his love for Go that he is sighing?"

"Huh? Passion? Just because there's AI, you no longer love it?"

Li Haoming sneered and shook his head:

"Some people just lament that the arrival of AI means they can no longer act like a big shot in front of low-level players and beginners.

"These so-called 'go fans' don't really like go, but rather like the feeling of being high-handed and wanting to teach others. That's why they feel like they've lost their parents when AI comes out."

Li Jingzhe frowned and said, "From what you said... you think the emergence of AI is a good thing for Go?"

“From a conceptual and research perspective, of course!”

Li Haoming answered without hesitation.

"For Go fans who truly love Go, this is undoubtedly the best era.

"Most enthusiasts were limited by their own level and it was difficult for them to meet experts, so it was difficult for them to improve their chess skills. Even if they saw some professional games that they were interested in, if there were no experts to explain them, they would often be at a loss. They couldn't understand why they played in that way!
"But now, with the help of AI, I can understand the subtleties of even the top-level flying knives in the chess saint war, and figure out why some methods that I think are feasible are not actually effective.

"It's a pity that you don't know Go, otherwise I would really like to have a good talk with you..."

Li Jingzhe was still a little puzzled by his father's enthusiasm. "But Dad, the so-called 'brilliant move' that humans have worked so hard to think of is nothing more than something that is obvious to AI. Why are you so excited?"

Hearing this, Li Haoming was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"Jingzhe, you still underestimate Go... Come, let me ask you a question about AI!

"If two AIs with the same computing power and the same design play against each other, what will be the final result?"

Li Jingzhe had no previous knowledge of Go AI, which was completely outdated in the field of artificial intelligence, and could only rely on his intuitive feedback:

"It should be. It's almost a draw, with the difference between the two sides being about one and a half points..."

But before he could finish his words, Li Jingzhe knew from his father's expression that he must have guessed wrong.

However, Li Haoming did not give a direct answer. Instead, he habitually asked his son to explore and think:
"Jingzhe, if you have time, I suggest you learn about this issue yourself.

"I think this will be helpful for your further study of AI and computer algorithms."

Li Jingzhe asked hesitantly, "Is it... a lot different?"

Li Haoming still maintained a meaningful smile:
“In short, it’s not as simple as you think.

"Otherwise...your beautiful classmate wouldn't have worked so hard on Go!"

...

...

"Zhao Zhao, Daddy is leaving now. If you have anything, feel free to tell Mommy!"

At 6:30 in the evening, at the gate of Tongge Hotel.

Rui Guoquan completed the three-day task, waited for his wife to take over, and then immediately called a taxi to the high-speed rail station and rushed back to Dongjiang.

One of them is a senior executive of the group, and the other is a chief physician of a large hospital. Naturally, it is impossible for them to free up a week or even ten days of time by just taking leave.

But my daughter's "Go College Entrance Examination" takes so long, and it has to be held in a different place!

As a last resort, the couple had to agree to take leave and take over from each other, so that they could almost ensure that there would always be someone with their daughter.

"Dad...you've worked hard!"

At this time, Rui Zhao's face was still a little pale, but he still expressed his sincere gratitude to his father.

"Oh, you were a little impolite before, but now you are too polite!"

Rui Guoquan smiled bitterly.

"We are a family. If you are ok, then we are mom and dad! Why bother saying thank you or not!"

Rui Zhao looked at a loss for a moment, and immediately added:
"Sorry, I'll change it next time..."

"Tsk!"

Rui Guoquan couldn't help smacking his lips and shaking his head when he saw this, but he didn't continue the topic.

He gave some instructions to his wife and daughter, then got on a taxi to the high-speed rail station.

...

After getting in the car, Rui Guoquan, who had been nervous these days, leaned back in the back seat looking a little tired.

Even though he knew that his daughter was extremely talented and had won four games in a row in the past two days, he was still a little uneasy as a father, fearing that something might go wrong - not to mention that Rui Zhao did not look very well.

The taxi driver was a chatty person, and seeing that the passenger didn't seem to have anything to do this time, he started a conversation.

"Brother, are you here to have fun at Tongge Mountain?"

Rui Guoquan glanced forward and replied casually: "No, my daughter is here to play the Go qualifying tournament, so I'm here to accompany her!"

"Oh! That's what happened!"

The driver seemed to remember and continued to ask:

"Hey, but big brother... why did you send your daughter to such a level when everything was fine? Studying is the right path!"

Rui Guoquan was puzzled: "You just want to pursue professional Go! If you want to study, your child's grades won't be good enough."

"Oh. If your grades aren't good, just work harder. At worst, you can repeat the grade a few more times!"

Rui Guoquan was a little impatient, but still responded politely:
"My family has discussed this. There are 360 ​​professions and every profession has its top talent. Go is also good!"

"Oh."

After the driver agreed, he didn't say anything else.

Because it would be rude to say it again.

In his opinion, every family who sends their children to participate in the Go ranking tournament every year is being taken advantage of.

Ever since the famous “Man vs. Machine” battle, who doesn’t know that AI is much better at playing chess than humans?

Everyone knows that AI is much better than humans, so why do we still watch people play Go? What's the point!
As a result, in this day and age, there are still people who want their children to become professional chess players? !

What do you mean he joined the National Army in 1949?! How stupid!
Thinking of this, the driver's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Rui Guoquan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror, with a sense of psychological superiority, feeling very proud.
