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

Chapter 309 Speedrun of Ke Lao Er
Without any hesitation, Old Ke jumped out, and Yi Zheng quickly broke through to block the way.

Yi Zheng forcefully blocked all the black stones below, and Ke Lao was not to be outdone, directly extending white stones in the middle.

You use force, and I'll use force too. Let's see who's stronger between us!

Yi Zheng did not hesitate and directly stuck the bottom, and now the two sides have formed a trend of mutual attack.

Old Ke was clearly also angry, and he obviously wanted to take control of the lower left corner and counter the Dragon Slayer at the start of the game.

Just finish the first stand on the second line!
It not only expands its own eye space, but also compresses the base of the black stones in the lower left corner.

"The bottom left corner is basically doomed."

Looking at the black stones surrounded in the lower left corner, Li Zongrui immediately made a judgment in his mind.

There's no way to survive; we must fight back!
"Why are these two so hot-tempered?" Li Zongrui couldn't help but mutter under his breath, his fingers unconsciously tracing the calculated changes on his trouser leg.

"They've only played a few moves, and they're already acting like it's a fight to the death, a kill-or-lose situation? Going all in right from the start? Did they get the wrong script?"
Neither Yi Zheng nor AlphaGo should theoretically have this style.

Given the current situation, this game definitely won't last long, and it might even end very quickly.

Looking at the back-and-forth attack that had formed in the lower left corner, Li Zongrui wondered what these two were thinking, making it clear from the start that they were determined to wipe out the other.

Could it be that there's some kind of grudge between them?

But I've never seen them play any chess before.
Could it be that both of them are on drugs today?
Instead of rushing to finish them off, they made a charge first.

When Elder Ke saw this step, he couldn't help but sway. Yi Zheng's ghost state was really good. If Yi Zheng were to intervene here, it was possible that a calamity would be formed once the killing intent was truly unleashed, and it would be a slow calamity that was advantageous to him.

But with this surge, the situation changed completely.

The timing was perfect!

If he returns to the corner to intercept, Yi Zheng can then take the lead. Taking the lead first or taking the lead later makes a world of difference, and the offensive and defensive dynamics are completely reversed.

Although there were gains in the lower left corner, overall, Yi Zheng benefited in every area.

"What a strong sense of the big picture! Your judgment is becoming more and more accurate."

Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head. He was with Yi Zheng every day, but it seemed that he had overlooked Yi Zheng's progress.

That won't work now; we have to stop them forcefully!
"Forty-fifth move, block!"

"Break!"

Since Yi Zheng had already decided to charge in, he also planned his next move: to cut off the two characters on the left side of Old Ke's name.

These two pieces are not so easy to discard. Attacking from above is definitely not an option, so Master Ke had no choice but to attack from the left.

"If you can guess it, then shut the hell up and download it."

Old Ke was too lazy to say anything and simply asked Yi Zheng to make the move for him.

"hey-hey."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng couldn't help but chuckle. Now the time was absolutely ripe!

Slay the dragon! Slay the dragon!
Old Ke didn't want to choose simpler changes anymore, otherwise he would lose in the end anyway.

Since that's the case, I have no intention of explaining right or wrong. Let's just break apart!
However, it's no use for Master Ke to die now. Even the spectators have already seen that the white stones in the lower left corner have no eye space left.

With a quick glance, Old Ke had already calculated the changes in the Qi gathering in this area, which was exactly the one breath he was short of.

"I've already thrown it." By the time they reached the sixtieth move, Old Ke's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but he had no desire to continue.

How can we possibly continue this story? It's completely doomed to failure. We can't exactly write about artificial intelligence running away like a madman when it's facing a desperate situation. At that point, it wouldn't be artificial intelligence anymore, but artificial stupidity.

"Sixty moves! That's more than enough to exceed expectations. Yi Zheng deserves the MVP!"

After Yi Zheng clicked to concede, he couldn't help but gloat. He originally felt that he might still fail to defeat Master Ke in a hundred moves, but he didn't expect to succeed in sixty moves.

Looks like you're having an unexpectedly good day!

Wow, I'm such a genius!
"Genius! You'd better tone it down, or I hope you'll still be able to laugh next time!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng also became serious, indicating that defeating Elder Ke first was a rather difficult scenario.

The spectators watching the first game end were also a little surprised. Yi Zheng defeated AlphaGo with a two-piece handicap, which seemed quite normal to everyone.

After all, Yi Zheng is already a near-Chinese chess saint, an absolute world-class player, and his current rating has already reached tenth in the world.

However, the team won at sixty moves.

An absolutely invincible blitzkrieg, and it was a ruthless dragon-slaying alphago. I don't think anyone has ever done that before, right?
"Could it be that this guy really let them win first?"

Ethan, who had been secretly watching Yi Zheng play chess with AlphaGo by logging in with a secondary account, had his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets. His teeth were grinding together, and his knuckles were white from gripping the mouse so tightly that he almost crushed it.

He was ready to invite AlphaGo to play chess and become the first person to defeat AlphaGo.

How did Yi Zheng manage to get there first?! Despicable! Shameless!
I'm almost ready!
Damn it! We absolutely mustn't lose to him, AlphaGo!

"AlphaGo! Hold on!! Don't lose to him!! Maximize your computing power!! Bring that bastard Yi Zheng back to reality!!"

……

"They're here, let them go first."

Kuroki Teruto stared intently at his computer screen, holding his breath as he watched the interface of the new match begin.

Only those who have actually played against AlphaGo can truly understand its power.

Only those who have been dominated by that cold, ruthless, despair-inducing precision of calculation can understand the bone-deep oppression it brings. That feeling…

A despairing and terrifying darkness, from the opening to the middle game, completely impenetrable, with no hope in sight.

What's even more terrifying is that he sometimes acts like a ruthless hunter, deliberately revealing a glimmer of hope when you're on the verge of collapse—a small "temptation," a seemingly "overlooked" corner.

You thought you'd grasped a lifeline, mustered your courage, and lunged forward... but...

He fled helplessly through the forest, but still could not escape the trap he had set.

He's not winning against you, he's toying with you! Like a higher-dimensional being playing with an ant in the palm of his hand! That feeling of powerlessness—being completely seen through, controlled, and manipulated—still haunts Kuroki in the dead of night.

Even if he were to face AlphaGo again now, Teruto Kuroki would still have no guarantee of victory, feeling that even a 20% chance of winning would be slim.

Can Yi Zheng create miracles?

As everyone looked at the few pieces already placed on the chessboard, this question couldn't help but pop into their minds.

Could he be the first person to defeat AlphaGo by a handicap?
