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

Almost... time to go!

At 6:1 p.m. on June st, in the dormitory of Hua Xia Chess Academy.

Lei Qi, who was temporarily arranged to rest here during the competition, sorted out his emotions and clothes, took a deep breath, then walked out of the room and walked towards the chess academy building.

Because the Dragon Star Tournament finals attracted so much attention, the Chess Association arranged for Lei Qi and Rui Zhao to live in the chess academy dormitory so that they could come directly to the competition venue and avoid being disturbed by the media and chess fans.

I have to say that Lei Qi was very grateful for this arrangement.

Otherwise, given the extremely high attention attracted by this Dragon Star Battle final, even if one is mentally prepared, it is inevitable that one will be affected by all the hot discussions and gossip outside the venue.

For this reason, since losing the first game yesterday, the young Chinese leader has not browsed any news or online communities, and has not even called his parents.

In his eyes, there is only today's game!
Yesterday's match made him clearly feel that in the blitz chess system, his rival was even stronger than he had imagined!
Although yesterday's attempt to quickly defeat the opponent with a flying knife was a radical attempt within the margin of error in a chess match, Lei Qi was still surprised by the final defeat.

He never expected that even with his advance preparation, Rui Zhao would be able to successfully remove the sword and quickly defeat him in the subsequent direct attack!
More than a year ago, at the Weiqi League awards ceremony, the strong rival of the opposite sex who publicly stated that he wanted to catch up with him has now won the first game in the Dragon Star Tournament final!

Even if we only talk about local attacks, in the super-fast chess competition system, Rui Zhao already has a clear advantage!
The only thing that could comfort Lei Qi was that his opponent had not played his best game all along!

Obviously... I have worked very hard over the past year and have won two world championships...

But why...why would she still catch up to me to this extent!
Since yesterday, the young leader couldn't help but ask himself this question from time to time.

But every time he started thinking about this question, he realized that his mind was distracted again, and he quickly gathered his thoughts and devoted himself to preparing for the second round of the final today.

In this game of chess... I must slowly compete with her in internal strength and judgment!

This is his only advantage in the blitz chess game.

Lei Qi walked into the chess academy building and gave another secret reminder.

As for whether you can withstand mistakes when time is tight...

It doesn't matter! She's not a god, she can make mistakes too!
After encouraging himself once again, the reigning chess master of China took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. He tried to face the biggest challenge he had faced since he met Miss Zhaojun in the most energetic state possible...

...

...

"Good afternoon, leaders and guests!

“I am Liu Yuhong, a female 8th dan chess player, and also the senior sister of Lei Qi, 9th dan.

"And this is Sun Yi, 9th Dan, who is also Rui Zhao's 8th Dan's senior brother!"

"Hello, leaders and distinguished guests!"

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, in the VIP viewing room of the Huaxia Chess Academy.

Seeing that the game had already started, Liu Yuhong began his opening remarks, while the Monkey King, whose irritability had gradually faded, also saluted the guests in a very decent manner.

After Rui Zhao won the first game of the final three-game match, the celebrity Zhaojun, who had already won the championship point, naturally received unprecedented attention! Even a large number of well-known people in society contacted the chess and card center and the Go Association, hoping to come to the chess academy to watch the game.

Because of this, the association finally decided to organize a unified on-site commentary in the VIP viewing room of the chess academy. After the last game of the bubble match, Sun Houer, who decided to continue to be a sparring partner for his junior sister, and Xiao Xiaoniao, who stayed behind, became the best choice for full-time commentary in the VIP viewing room.

After all, this is a super fast game of chess, with one move taking thirty seconds! Lei Qi and Rui Zhao's performance in this Dragon Star Tournament is enough to make them the two top chess players in China today!

If we arrange other small fry to come over, even AI might not be able to keep up with the thinking of the two chess players within half a minute, and that would be embarrassing in front of the distinguished guests!

"... Today, Sun Yi and I will explain the finals to you!

"We are both quite familiar with the two players in this final. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. We are also happy to chat with you if there are any interesting stories to share with you.

“The game has already started, and we will now move on to the game.

"Both sides started with the relatively rare diagonal small eye against diagonal star. After that, both sides simply tested the three corners and played the classic three-three pattern at the upper and lower left.

"After that, the black piece that got the first move made a pinch in the upper right corner, the white piece flew up in the upper left corner, and the black piece broke the edge on the left side. These were all AI choices, which showed the excellent basic skills and chess sense of the two players...

"Ah, this is...Mr. Hou!
"Excuse me, what's the problem here?"

When the little bird saw someone raising his hand, he temporarily interrupted his explanation, looked at the guest's name tag, and signaled him to speak.

The Mr. Hou whose name was called put down his hand and asked his question:
"That's right! I don't know much about Go! This time I want to take this opportunity to learn more about it!
“Since you mentioned AI’s first choice, I would also like to ask:
"Hasn't Go AI been around for ten years? And it's said that the level of Go AI is far higher than that of humans!
"If that's the case, then isn't the current Go competition just about who can memorize the AI ​​mechanics better?! What's the point of comparing? Just compete in memorizing!"

As soon as Mr. Hou finished speaking, there was a faint laugh. Although many of the guests who came today were Go amateurs attracted by Rui Zhao, this question was really hilarious to the guests who knew Go.

However, as a tour guide, Liu Yuhong naturally could not have any disrespectful attitude.

Rui Zhao's consecutive victories in the Dragon Star Tournament this time attracted a large number of Go amateurs to pay attention to this professional event, even including officials, entrepreneurs, scholars and other people with great social influence.

For Go practitioners, having finally won such an important opportunity through Rui Zhao's outstanding performance, they naturally want to publicize it as much as possible and break the inherent impression.

So in response to Mr. Hou's question, Liu Yuhong immediately explained politely and carefully:
"Ah, that's right, Mr. Hou! You may have some misunderstandings about the development of professional Go in the AI ​​era!
“It is true that Go AI is much better than the best human players, but that does not mean that with the best changes given by AI, the competition between human masters becomes a competition of ‘reciting AI’s moves’.

"Because Go is full of changes, if the opponent does not follow the established chess book, the next solution will be completely different. Such changes are simply not something that humans can memorize!

"If I have to give a similar example, although the knowledge points of the math test in the college entrance examination are basically the same every year, if you memorize all the correct answers to the math questions in the previous year's college entrance examination, can you guarantee that you will get full marks in this year's college entrance examination?
"Obviously not! Not even every year!

“In the final analysis, the correct way is to learn problem-solving methods based on textbooks and apply them flexibly.

"Moreover, just like the content in the textbooks is far from the whole of mathematics, Go AI is actually only much better than humans, but it is still far from being a true Go God!

“Even because it is a black box whose rules cannot be explained to the outside world, even the specific theories have to be summarized and advanced by humans through the analysis of a large number of games.

"We professional Go players are also constantly working hard to play better Go with the help of Go AI, promoting the continuous progress of Go theory! And professional competitions can be said to be at the forefront of this theoretical progress!"

Hearing this, Mr. Hou nodded slightly, as if thinking about something. However, judging from the puzzled expression on his face, he still had no specific idea.

Seeing this, Sun Yi on the side immediately took over the conversation and said:

"Boss Hou! Just in time!

"Just now, Lei Qi and Rui Zhao have played some moves that were not selected by the AI. I will take this opportunity to briefly explain them to you! Although the AI ​​matching rate of both sides is not high, they both played very well!
"White moves 26 and flies down to attack the four black pieces on the upper left. Black's common tactic here is to touch.

"And Lei Qi's subsequent move was not a single choice, but it was full of the ingenious ideas of a human chess player.

"If the white pieces rush down, the black pieces can just follow and stand. If the white pieces try to block the passage by force, they will be directly defeated and eaten.

"But with this move, White's forced blockade and capture of Black's four pieces is now possible again! Black must respond.

"And Rui Zhao followed suit and took advantage of the situation!
"If White continues to insist on splitting up, it can still capture four Black pieces, but Black can take the initiative to attack from the outside, while White will capture almost all the dry pieces... Well, if you don't understand, you can look at the winning rate given by the AI. If it plays this way, Black's winning rate is over 70%!

“So in the 30th move, Lei Qi, who had seen through his opponent’s intentions, naturally could not fall for it, and instead pressed down on the upper right.

"Here, we are expecting Black to pull off a move, so that White can have a continuous method of breaking and then turning the game around!

"In this way, the black chess position will collapse, and the white chess winning rate will soar to over 85%!

"However, Rui Zhao also used a delay and made a move recommended by the AI ​​- breaking and attacking. After exchanging with the white chess piece, he held on again.

"This way, when White breaks the attack again, Black can go to both sides by sacrificing a piece!

"Therefore, Lei Qi did not continue to use the method of breaking and hitting, but chose to twist and break, and start a new battle!

"Both sides countered each other's moves, set traps for each other, and competed with each other in wits and courage in a time of only 30 seconds per move, which can be said to be a display of extremely high Go skills and standards!

“Although the AI’s matching rate during this period was not high, the winning rate of both sides did not fluctuate drastically, always hovering around two points!

"Despite the advent of AI, the core competitive spirit of Go, which has been running through ancient times, has never changed."

Hearing this, Mr. Hou, who had just asked the question, nodded as if awakened from a dream:

"I see! That's why I was wondering why so many people still like to watch Go games after the advent of AI!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yuhong on the side nodded and said:
“Although some slow chess matches may not be as enjoyable to watch live due to their slow pace, the battle of wits between top chess players is definitely very enjoyable to watch.

“And this Dragon Star Tournament is a super-fast chess game with one move every half a minute. Generally, a game can be completed in about two hours, which is also more suitable for live viewing.

“Although the winning rate of blitz chess matches sometimes fluctuates greatly due to time constraints, top blitz chess players like Lei Qi and Rui Zhao can still play high-quality games under strict time requirements!

"With the advancement of technology and the efforts of top professional players, our Go continues to shine with its everlasting brilliance! The performance of both sides in this game, who have not given in to each other so far, is the most typical example!
“Dear guests who are interested, please continue to pay more attention in the future!

"Next, let's continue to watch the exciting chess games brought to us by Lei Qi and Rui Zhao, the two 'post-05' rising stars..." (End of this chapter)
