Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 107 The truth is the sharpest knife

Chapter 107 The truth is the sharpest knife
"I know. Some time ago, there was this online chess god who won consecutive victories over many professional players in the world, including members of the Chinese national team. The magazine 'Wenping Wendao' published a special analysis about him.

Many people online suspect that this is the collective account of the Chinese national team. Because of the diverse style changes, they suspect that the national team is experimenting with new tactics on one account.

However, players from the Chinese national team refuted the rumor and said that it was not true, and no one knew his true identity.

Yi Zheng answered Kuroki Teruto's question about AlphaGo from the perspective of a so-called bystander, as if this account had nothing to do with him.

Kuroki Teruto stared at Yi Zheng's expression after hearing this, but he remained calm and collected. "It's just a fan's guess. A chess player of a certain level can tell that while this person has countless variations, his fundamental chess style remains the same."

"Yeah. I think so too."

Yi Zheng nodded when he heard this. It was not that the other party said that it could only be seen when the strength reached a certain level, but that was what he thought.

Kuroki Teruto looked at Yi Zheng, who seemed to agree with his analysis. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your chess moves are very similar to his."

"Really? Indeed, the three-three and some other moves are indeed very similar to mine.

I also studied his chess records carefully, but they were too imaginative and difficult to understand.

So you suspect I'm AlphaGo?"

Yi Zheng was not lying at all. Both the artificial intelligence techniques brought by Mr. Ke and his own style were very imaginative.

If it weren't for my analysis, Yi Zheng might not be able to achieve any significant results even if he studied the chess records alone for several years.

Otherwise, if top chess players were so easy to study and target, it would have been impossible for players with unique styles to dominate before the era of artificial intelligence.

Kuroki Teruto didn't rush to answer the question thrown back at him, but just filled the cup in front of him: "You are not him."

Hearing this answer, Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment. He thought that Kuroki Teruto called him here because he suspected that he was AlphaGo and wanted to force him to admit it.

The other party directly answered that he was not. No, then why did you call me all the way here?
"Although our styles are similar, the difference in chess skills cannot be concealed. The gap between you and him is simply too huge, it's like heaven and earth."

"Oh, not bad! You have good taste!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ke, who was originally admiring the calligraphy hanging on the wall, suddenly turned around, made a pistol shape with his hands and imitated the catchphrase of a famous celebrity named Tai 2 Zhenren.

Listening to Kuroki Teruto's heart-wrenching words, Yi Zheng couldn't help but twitching his lips. He really wanted to say that you and the person you are talking about are equally skilled in venomous tongues!

Looking at Yi Zheng with a twitching mouth, Kuroki Teruto calmly placed the cup filled with tea in front of him and continued his attack: "I'm telling the truth."

Yi Zheng: It’s the truth that hurts people, okay?
Kuroki Teruto, however, spoke to himself without any concern, "This online chess player called AlphaGo is at least world champion level, but because his opponents were too weak several times, no one could force him to show his true strength.

I've always wanted to play against him, but unfortunately he hasn't appeared since his brief online appearance a few months ago.

His style is truly rare, and it would be a great pity if we couldn't play against him."

Hearing this, Mr. Ke's eyes next to him suddenly became resentful.

Look, look how popular I am with these top players, but because of you, they don't even get the chance to play chess with me. Yi Zheng couldn't help but touch his nose. It couldn't be helped. Ever since he became a professional, he's been too busy, with the International Rookie Tournament and the team training camp in the capital before the World League.

Yi Zheng didn't even have time to go back to the rented house in Lin'an, let alone play online chess. However, Shi Yuhan, who had successfully become a professional chess player, had already moved into the rented house.

At this time, Kuroki Ryuji, who had been sitting silently nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Is there a possibility that Yi Zheng is AlphaGo, and Yi Zheng is hiding his true strength in reality?"

Hearing this, Yi Zheng felt a chill down his spine. Although Kuroki Ryuji's guess was completely wrong, it was the closest to the truth.

Looking at the younger brother of Japan's most talented player, Kuroki Teruto mercilessly pierced his fantasy: "No, not to mention that it is impossible for a person to do such illogical and selfish things.

A strong chess player could never pretend to be weak like this, no matter how hard he tries. The difference in strength between these two people is obvious."

……

Yi Zheng now finally understood what it meant to be deafening silence.

It was even more painful to hear this!
You mean, even if Old Ke is a noob, he can't be as noob as me! His attack is too strong! This is the first time I've encountered someone with a stronger attack than Old Ke!

Mr. Ke’s normal attack power is only about 8,000 at most, but this guy’s is at least over 10,000!

As for Mr. Ke, he seemed to be enjoying what he said: "It's the truth! It sounds good! I love to hear it! Say more!"

"Moreover, in the chess records when Yi Zheng first played against you, this style of play did not appear.

On the contrary, it was only after the emergence of AlphaGo that your style in the Qinglong Cup became similar to AlphaGo. You looked like his imitator and his student.

But you seem to be very confident in his chess style, including the chess moves you made in the Qinglong Cup, which were also very extraordinary.

Don't climb the third line, don't push the fourth road. Although it's possible to climb the second road in some specific situations, it's really hard to understand why such a counterintuitive move was made at the beginning of the game."

After hearing Kuroki Teruto's explanation, Yi Zheng seemed to understand his logic, because when Yi Zheng played against Kuroki Ryuji in China a few times before, Mr. Ke had just woken up, and at that time Yi Zheng had not yet incorporated some characteristics into his own style.

It wasn't until the Qinglong Cup that Yi Zheng really started to act like a dog.

So in Kuroki Teruto's view, Yi Zheng is more like an imitator born after the emergence of AlphaGo.

"You are the best student and the one who studies most like me. I don't know if you know him, but if you do, please give me a message.

I, Kuroki Teruto, really want to play a game of Go with him and I'm available any time."

Hearing Kuroki Teruto's words, Ke Lao floated in the air, supporting his face with his hands. "Are you so eager? Then I'll use you as a sacrifice next time."

I'm afraid that in this era, only those who have never played chess with me would be eager to play chess with me. If you have played chess with me, you probably won't be eager anymore."
