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

Chapter 314 Evil Dragon
"It's turned into a robbery now. Judging from the current situation, it's a 50/50 chance. What's going on with AlphaGo?!"

Ethan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he shoved his head close to the screen, his nose almost touching the cold glass.

For dozens of rounds, everyone thought Yi Zheng could bet at any time. Even when Yi Zheng placed his final bet on the 150th round, everyone thought he had gone crazy and was doing charity work.

result!

Isn't this all a setup orchestrated by capital?
Now that we've reached the final stage, there's been even greater volatility, with the possibility that AlphaGo might fail.

Shouldn't the situation be becoming clearer in the endgame? Instead, the whole situation is not only not becoming clear, but it's like a depth charge has been dropped, causing even greater turbulence and making everyone uneasy.

This has never happened before. Could it be that AlphaGo's weakness lies in the endgame? Is this AlphaGo's Achilles' heel?!
Even if you're down by dozens of points in the middle game, do you have to keep playing until the end to have a chance to turn things around?
Theoretically, it's completely impossible, but after it happens once, some people will always feel lucky and think that the other person is just a lucky one.

Ethan was so anxious at the thought of this possibility that he stamped his feet. Yi Zheng really got lucky! He could have won if he had gone himself! He was determined to stick it out!

Damn it! Damn it!
"AlphaGo must persevere in this ko fight. It won't work if it doesn't. It needs to put in extra effort to survive in the later stages, otherwise many more will perish in the middle."

Ma Zhaoxu was too lazy to spit out the tea leaves in his mouth and swallowed them directly. He didn't even notice the freshly poured water and drank it down.

Only one pair of eyes remained, fixed intently on the screen like nails. Is humanity finally about to break through this barrier?
Let them defeat AlphaGo first!

Are we finally about to break through this barrier?
"Now, as long as we attack from one lane, once AlphaGo gets close, Yi Zheng can simply retreat and take the top lane. Even if AlphaGo resolves the ko fight below, Yi Zheng will still be in a better position."

Even if AlphaGo desperately tries to break through, Yi Zheng still has many ko threats, and he can always bring them back, threatening AlphaGo's survival.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai was basically certain that Yi Zheng would win this round!
This advantage is truly a case of "keeping it warm," meaning that once the duck is cooked, there's virtually no chance it will fly away.

This is sure!

However, Yi Zheng had no intention of stopping. He hadn't had enough of fighting yet! Keep fighting! Fight like crazy!
Mr. Ke realized that even if he calmed down now, the situation was completely hopeless.

Staying put and trying to eliminate the calamity is definitely not an option, as that would be tantamount to declaring victory for Yi Zheng.

Old Ke now deeply regrets why he had to go and annoy Yi Zheng when he had nothing better to do. In the end, he didn't annoy Yi Zheng much, but he annoyed himself to death!

I'm not artificial intelligence, why would I need to make so many advances?

How shameless!

Now that things have turned out this way, Old Ke really wishes he could go back to how he was just a few minutes ago and strangle himself!
Are you crazy?
Professor Ke has now released various C language programs, but there's nothing else he can do but give it one last shot.

As long as this calamity exists, there's still a glimmer of hope.

Now, Old Master Ke can only try to find another place to break the ice and see if he can create some more materials for the robbery.

However, ko threats are like money. It's easy and quick to spend them, but it's difficult to earn them back, especially now that the board has changed from a blue ocean to a red ocean. It's no longer the time when you could easily get a bunch of ko threats.

Times have changed, Mr. Ke.

Earning money through robbery is becoming increasingly difficult.

Even at the very end, Old Ke didn't forget to dig a trap hoping Yi Zheng would fall into it. If he did, he would still have a chance.

However, Yi Zheng has been scammed so many times that he has almost figured out the best methods.

Don't say things like "you'll get numb if you stomp," now that both feet are off the ground, your clever intelligence has taken over again.

For example, now that Ke Lao has attached himself to the enemy, Yi Zheng can't rush to pull the calamity back immediately. Otherwise, if Yi Zheng eats the tail at the bottom, Ke Lao will directly devour the middle. Even if the connection is reversed, there might still be a chance for Ke Lao to survive on the right. Even if he doesn't survive, a large number of calamity materials will appear out of nowhere, and the situation will instantly become chaotic again, possibly even more chaotic than in the Jin-Sui region.

Yi Zheng remained calm at the last moment and made a last-minute intervention.

We must learn from Mr. Ke's lesson of being overconfident and never assume that we have victory in the bag, no matter the situation.

Never let your guard down until your opponent raises their hand to concede!

calm down!

Anyway, Yi Zheng is now convinced of one thing: whenever Master Ke admits defeat and makes a move to fill in the gaps, he will capture the piece on the gaps.

We finally have a chance to beat Old Ke, so we must put an end to his arrogance!

So you're the only one called "Old Ke"? So you're the only one called "AlphaGo"? We gave you a chance, but you couldn't do it!

Looking at the situation, Master Ke knew that there was probably no way to turn the tide; this calamity was now certain and unavoidable.

Old Master Ke had no choice but to accept the change. Even after the change, Yi Zheng still chose the one with the highest number of points, since such opportunities were truly rare.

Finally, the conversion was successful once! I'm so happy, so incredibly happy!
Yi Zheng felt that this feeling was even more comfortable than drinking the first sip of ice-cold cola on a hot summer day!

Feeling completely refreshed!

The amazing sensation travels straight from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!
Cool!
Looking at the broken opening on the left, Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head. Now that the red heat had subsided, reason had once again taken over.

From any perspective, it's clear that there's absolutely no way to reverse the situation.

The current situation is estimated to be about ten points behind. Even if it's a game with even odds and a seven-and-a-half-point komi, Yi Zheng would still win.

"What's wrong with me? I feel like I'm easily agitated and irritable lately."

Old Ke sighed helplessly: "Just admit defeat."

Seeing the black pieces win appear on the screen, countless other people in front of their screens jumped up instantly.

"Long live!"

Teruto Kuroki jumped up in genuine excitement, almost knocking over the small table.

AlphaGo has finally lost, and humanity has taken the most solid step on the road to defeating it!
Let them defeat AlphaGo first!

"This is a small step for Yi Zheng!" a veteran Go media professional typed on social media, "but it's a monumental leap forward in the evolution of human Go civilization!!!"

Why is it called human Go?
No one in the world of Go believes that AlphaGo is human!

No one with any sense left still regards the entity behind the screen, AlphaGo, as a 'human being'!

It's not human!
What is it more like?
It is—

The evil dragon sits cross-legged on the throne of Go!

Today, the knight named Yi Zheng, with his mortal body, wielding the shield of "Let First" and the sword of human creativity, actually managed to cut off a blood-stained scale from the gates of this awe-inspiring dragon castle!
The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!
