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

Chapter 271 The Opponent Not in Front of You

"Will win!"

August 10, 18:12 noon.

The Japanese team's on-site operations meeting room.

Takuya Ichijo, who is about to go into battle, is making a declaration of victory with great vigor before the battle.

Seeing the confident junior in front of him, for some reason, Shindo Hiroaki suddenly imagined the scene of the current Japanese chess master being chopped into two pieces by the Chinese vanguard, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch slightly.

“…Uh, that.

"One thing, just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself whether you win or not..."

"It's okay, Shindo Ouzo! I will win!"

Originally, Shindo Hiroaki wanted to help his vanguard raise the flag, but the other party seemed to think that momentum was more important and emphasized it again.

There is a kind of fearlessness that "once the flag is set, it's set".

At this point, Shindo Hiroaki couldn't say much. He could only say:

"That's fine. I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

“Okay! Don’t worry, Prince Shindo!

"Ichichu takuya, ima, ikimasu!"

"Reiwa-sanbaga"...Oh no.

The leader of the "Three Birds of Reiwa" and the current number one in Japan, let out a soft cry before going into battle!
Then, amid the cheers of the managers and teammates from the Japanese Chess Institute, he strode towards the game room.

The atmosphere in the war room was suddenly very warm, with applause ringing out. Everyone was expecting their [Chess Master] to bring another victory.

Only there was a hint of embarrassment in Shindo Hiroaki's smile.

I made a little joke that day and they all looked dead...

Why are you guys so happy about a Gundam meme?

...

There was no shortage of media in the chess room during this afternoon's game.

A considerable number of media on the scene came to see a certain girl, but most reporters still took the attitude of "since we are here", and paid full attention to this pioneering battle between the world's number one Japanese and the future leader of China this afternoon.

After all... this game of chess is actually quite interesting to watch.

Although the Japanese team, from the top management of the chess academy to the five team members, all said that they trusted Shindo Hiroaki, so they did not let Takuya Ichijo be the main player, and did not give any other reasons.

But as the number one, you have to be the vanguard if you don’t want to be the main general?
This question still puzzled everyone, and soon Holmes guessed a very likely reason:

The Japanese team plans to take advantage of the fact that China's future No. 1 player has been in poor form recently and capture him at home to establish their power!
This statement naturally cannot be officially confirmed, but it has been widely circulated among the people in the past two days.

Various media outlets also welcomed this explosive speculation and used it to build momentum before the game.

For a time, the duel between "Lei VS Yitiao" became the most watched pioneering battle in recent years.

Under the gaze of so many media, Takuya Ichijo strode towards the chess table with great momentum.

He has always liked the feeling of being in the spotlight and feels that he is a natural player for big scenes.

However, his young opponent who had arrived earlier seemed very calm. He sat in front of the chess table with an expressionless face, and his temperament was extremely deep and reserved.

Seeing his opponent coming to the stage, the young man greeted him with a smile, but then his expression changed and he lowered his eyes, as if the opponent in front of him was not worthy of his attention.

This gave a very strange feeling.

He could clearly feel that the young man had a solemn aura, as if he was secretly holding back his energy, ready to win the game in one fell swoop.

But... he showed a rather indifferent attitude towards me, and after a polite greeting, he never looked at me again. It was as if...

It seemed as if his opponent in this game of chess was not himself!
This……

What's going on?! I was a little confused, but it was inconvenient to ask this kind of question in detail - even if I asked, no one would be able to answer it.

He had no choice but to secretly make up his mind to teach this arrogant new world champion a lesson in the upcoming game.

As the game was about to start, both sides guessed who would go first.

In the end, the defending champion Takuya Ichijo played with black pieces, while the young Chinese challenger played with white pieces.

And soon, the time officially reached one o'clock in the afternoon.

With the chief referee's order, the second game of this Nongshim Cup officially kicked off.

...

...

"Ah... Looks like Raiki 9th Dan has already started the game! Let's start talking about chess!"

At the same time, [Go Xiaozhao]'s temporary live studio.

The girl, who had just finished a game in the morning, appeared in her live broadcast room in the afternoon without stopping, and there was no sign of fatigue in her expression.

The host who had just achieved a stunning victory showed up after a long absence, and the popularity of [Go Xiaozhao]'s live broadcast suddenly soared. The number of viewers was even higher than in the morning. The barrage of comments and various rewards and props covered the sky for a while.

However, Ai Jianan naturally only allowed the comments to be displayed on the screen of his own administrator, so as not to distract his own pillar.

The guest of honor in the afternoon was still the vice chairman of the chess association. Seeing Lu Wenjie nod slightly, Rui Zhao immediately got to the point:

"Ichi-tsu 9-dan opens the game at the top with Xiang Xiao-mo, Lei-qi 9-dan plays Chu-xing Xiao-mo at the bottom of the board.

"In the fifth move, the black piece directly hits the lower left three-three, and the white piece blocks it to the right and flies away. The black piece sends out a 'Ni Dao' invitation... but the white piece directly grows a single one and does not respond."

"Ni Dao Change" is a very famous subsequent change of Point 33 in the Blue Star AI era. This change was originally studied in depth and used extensively by the flying knife expert Ni Jue, hence the name.

If the white piece continues to pull down after the black piece supports, it will enter the Ni Dao variation. Because the Ni Dao variation is extremely complex, even today, all masters have not been able to fully study the Ni Dao, so it is a high-incidence area for professional chess players to "get hit by the knife".

After listening to Rui Zhao's explanation, Lu Wenjie decisively added:
“It’s normal for Xiao Lei not to fight back.

"This time, the Japanese are full of tricks and they look aggressive. Xiao Lei must be on guard against whether they have prepared flying knives. The best strategy is to simply avoid them."

"Ah."

Rui Zhao nodded in agreement:
"Then both sides made a move, and after a brief finalization, the black piece jumped to the upper right corner, and the white piece hung high in the upper left.

"The two played a whole set of defense and retreat. The black piece that got the first move forced the white piece to fly, while Lei Qi chose to jump to the lower right corner to defend.

"Black opened up on the right side, and White touched the small eye in the upper right corner. Black chose to block at 33, so White had many options on the upper side.

"Lei Qi 9th Dan then flew to the town! He decisively hit the AI's first choice! And the black chess piece... touched one?"

Seeing Yitiao's latest move, Rui Zhao was a little confused, and then he started:
"Here... my first impression is that it should be a little lower, right? The AI's first choice was the same. I feel like Black has done some research on this?

"According to the follow-up suggestions given by AI, once White chooses to make an outside move, Black will inevitably respond with an inside move. Next, White will cut, Black will grow, and then White will grow again to capture two Black pieces... Black can make a move here!

"The two sides form a big shape, but it seems that the black pieces on the right have more potential to create space... because the black pieces on the upper left are not blocked!

"Hmm, I don't understand why the AI ​​thinks this is the best move for white... If I ask a human to judge, I think black is better!"

"So, some people say every day that 'after AI, Go is dead'. This statement is completely absurd."

Lu Wenjie on the side took over the conversation and said:

“Firstly, many of the moves given by AI are based on its extremely outrageous computing power, and many outrageous dog moves are not of much reference value for human players.

“Secondly… let’s not talk about how AI often ends up hitting itself in the face while calculating.

"In my opinion, AI is a means to help us get closer to the truth of Go. Although its level is far higher than that of humans, we still need to be critical and dialectical in our thinking about its suggestions on moves.

"Like now, I guess after Xiao Lei has figured out the current map, he will definitely not follow the AI's choice..."

Sure enough, at this moment Lei Qi gave his choice:

The 28th move was made, not giving the opponent any chance to borrow!
