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

Chapter 446 Style
Move 49, Black plays a sharp move.

Upon seeing the AI ​​make its move, Professor Ke did not rush to respond, but instead fell into a brief period of contemplation.

Yi Zheng touched his chin with interest, recalling some of the details that Professor Ke had shared with him when introducing the various characteristics of AI in chess.

Simply put, most artificial intelligence prioritizes winning because their training methods and algorithms are derived from the paper later open-sourced by AlphaGo. For most people and companies, this means simply copying it without even making any changes.

Therefore, the vast majority of artificial intelligence on the market takes "winning" as their primary goal. For them, whether they win by half a point, thirty points, or a hundred points, there is no essential difference; it is all just a victory.

Many AIs that are powerful enough to gain an advantage in the early game will not engage in fierce battles with you in the later game. In fact, they will not only not take the initiative to fight, but will also give up. Even if they have a 100% chance to kill your Baron, they will choose to give up.

This is simply inconceivable to humans, after all, how many people would give up the opportunity to slay a dragon instead of seizing it?

On the contrary, he often seems to be giving whatever he wants, acting as if he is a victim, giving his opponent whatever they want, and not even minding if you eat Baron Nashor in front of him. He can be described as a textbook example of being a victim of the Minotaur.

You seem to be having a great time, eating and drinking your way through, but in the end you find that you've lost everything.

This is because artificial intelligence judges that giving up these local interests can actually make the overall situation of the game simpler and increase its own winning rate.

Therefore, we often see games where artificial intelligence wins by only half a point, and this accounts for a significant proportion of its winning games.

This is not because it can only win this many points, but because it judges that "winning by half a point is enough".

One could even say that if artificial intelligence possessed a human body, it could make a gesture that would make it impossible for him to survive in Silla and say to its opponent, "The difference between us is actually just this little bit."

Finger Universe

However, not all artificial intelligence adopts this game strategy.

Because early artificial intelligence generally had this "safety first" approach, many research teams later made special improvements, deliberately making artificial intelligence more aggressive in order to maximize the fruits of victory.

For example, a team from Ke Lao's alma mater developed an artificial intelligence program. In its program design, winning was not the primary condition, but rather the goal of winning to the greatest extent possible.

During the game, it tries to widen the gap in objectives as much as possible. It will never choose to back down when it has the opportunity to kill the dragon. Instead, it will relentlessly bite the opponent's dragon as long as there is a sliver of a chance.

Judging from the moves displayed by the expert, it seems to bear the shadow of this style. In fact, the game still has a simple way of proceeding, and the situation for both sides is still quite even, with no significant gap between them.

However, Jueyi deliberately chose the most complex and intense move, clearly intending to test Ke Lao's ability to respond.

However, Yi Zheng didn't take this step too seriously. In his view, at worst, it would just be a fight, and at most, a ko fight would break out in the corner. Even if the corner was captured, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Even if the top right corner is indeed captured, the outside can still gain enough benefits. Whether it's making two consecutive moves, launching a strong attack on the bottom right, or attacking from the left, there are many different options.

Since it wasn't his own match, Yi Zheng didn't think too much about it. He even yawned easily, wondering what Old Ke was thinking.

After a few minutes, Old Ke finally spoke: "Jump, get to work."

Out of absolute trust in Mr. Ke, Yi Zheng picked up a white piece without thinking and placed it on the chessboard with a "thud".

But just as he finished placing the piece and his finger left it, Yi Zheng suddenly froze. What's the point of working now? Why don't you just fight him?!

Artificial intelligence clearly seized this opportunity and immediately clicked on the upper right corner to launch an attack.

At this point, the situation on the board had deviated from Yi Zheng's expectations. Ke Lao's upper right corner was definitely alive, but the problem was that in the actual game, the artificial intelligence had reached both sides, and the situation was clearly not as chaotic as the one Yi Zheng had envisioned.

"There's no need to confront him head-on; I'm stronger than him."

Old Ke seemed to notice Yi Zheng's surprise and casually offered an explanation.

In Ke Lao’s view, fighting against artificial intelligence is risky. Since I am stronger than it, I want to find a stable way to defeat it.

If this is my only chance in this life, then I must find the surest way to win.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng couldn't help but turn to look at Old Ke, but he didn't say anything. He seemed to have realized something.

There's no such thing as a risk-free life. If you're afraid to do anything, then there's no point in making a move.

When faced with the dog that he so desperately longed for, Old Ke's mentality became seriously problematic.

However, apart from Yi Zheng, no one, including Jiang Mobai, felt that this move was particularly bad.

At this moment, Ke Lao directly entered the upper left corner to defend his group. The artificial intelligence did not respond immediately, but instead chose to jump and seal, continuing to threaten the white stones on the outer edge of the upper right corner.

Realizing the intentions of artificial intelligence, Professor Ke had no other choice but to begin treating orphans directly.

Move 68, White, leans in.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai couldn't help but nod: "Yi Zheng's style today is actually closer to his early style, similar to AlphaGo, and is somewhat different from his current style."

However, the outcome is still quite good. In many situations, we can't find a way to have the best of both worlds. It feels like if we want to take one thing out, we'll lose the other.

However, this kind of chess is very suitable for us to learn. This move relies on scouting the opponent's next move, on one hand supporting the pieces previously invaded on the left, and on the other hand creating opportunities for the large dragon in the upper part to live.

When we play chess, we should try our best to play this kind of move, because it uses one piece as several pieces, so it is very efficient.

Very impressive. However, the AI ​​has been incredibly sharp so far, exceeding my expectations. My assessment of its capabilities has been steadily rising.

Jiang Mobai was slightly surprised to see the artificial intelligence seemingly locked in a difficult struggle with Yi Zheng on the chessboard, since he could tell that Yi Zheng wasn't playing any business Go.

After all, it's hard to judge how strong a player is, but it's easy to tell how weak they are.

Excellent skill, not bad at all.
