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

Chapter 448 Big reversal
"Now White is launching a fierce counterattack. This move is intended to cut off Black's key stones. Black must play a move to reinforce the position and cannot easily let Yi Zheng succeed."

Jiang Mobai nodded in approval when he saw the AI ​​decisively fill in the gaps in its moves. In his view, this response was absolutely correct; key stones were extremely valuable and should not be easily swallowed by the opponent.

However, Yi Zheng keenly perceived the problem with his opponent.

Clearly, this artificial intelligence is not yet capable enough to accurately assess the relative importance of the overall situation.

If it were me, I would place a move on top right now. As long as I can ensure that the top piece survives, it doesn't matter if this key piece is captured. I can still maintain a very certain advantage.

However, as a first-generation artificial intelligence, "Fine Art" seems unable to judge such complex situations like it does itself and Professor Ke.

It still chooses to stick to its position, responding in the most forceful way, refusing to concede a single hair, stubbornly guarding its advantage, and refusing to waver in the slightest.

The two sides continued their fierce struggle over the robbery, while Jiang Mobai, who was in the studio, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. In his opinion, Yi Zheng's situation was precarious, and he could admit defeat at any time.

"This AI's style is still very sharp. So far, it has still chosen the most ruthless methods and even retained this calamity, and is further demanding from below."

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but shake his head. He wondered if this artificial intelligence had been studying too many of his and other powerful chess players' records. It had become addicted to chasing down large groups of dragons, and it seemed determined to kill all the large dragons in the center.

If it loses, that's fine, but if it wins, it shows absolutely no mercy and uses the most ruthless tactics.

At that time, human chess players will likely face a crushing defeat.

As Yi Zheng watched the AI ​​continue its pursuit of the dragon, he also began to understand its style and moves.

After all, it will be his turn to play in the next game, and since he has the opportunity to experience his opponent's playing style in advance, he naturally wants to make full preparations.

Clearly, the AI ​​"Fine Art" is not the all-around master described by Professor Ke as someone who is good at controlling the situation and constantly simplifies the situation once he gains an advantage.

On the contrary, its style leans more towards a hard-fought approach, with every step carrying a strong aggressiveness.

However, upon closer examination, this is quite normal. This is because the training data for this generation of artificial intelligence mainly comes from human chess records, which carries a strong human influence.

The best-preserved chess scores are naturally from modern times. In ancient times, it would be quite remarkable if a hundred chess scores could be preserved over a period of about a hundred years. In fact, none of the chess scores from earlier times have been preserved.

After all, due to various wars, many important documents such as ancient classics and historical books have not survived, let alone things like Go game records.

Therefore, the game records from the last hundred years, or even the last twenty years, are estimated to account for 95% or more of the data used to train artificial intelligence.

Most of the chess players of Jiang Mobai's generation mainly relied on forceful battles, so it is completely understandable that this artificial intelligence tends to have a power-oriented style.

After all, most of the initial data is in this place, which means the database has been contaminated by human biases.

Ke Lao is currently entangled with the artificial intelligence through this ko fight. The black group at the top that has not yet been revived is the biggest threat to the artificial intelligence.

Move 175, Black plays a move called "Ban".

After seeing this step, Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head: "It seems to be handled very delicately in some places, but it is not particularly clear in judging whether something is alive or dead. However, even the tens of thousands of artificial intelligences later on have problems with some life-or-death issues."

This move was his second blunder in this game.

"Let's gather some resources here first, prepare the materials, and then I'll start making my move!"

However, despite saying that, Old Ke did not rush to make a move. Instead, he was like a cheetah crouching in the grass, keeping a close eye on its prey, ready to strike and kill at any moment.

This is what makes Elder Ke so terrifying. He's like a top-tier assassin, always lurking in the shadows, but at the crucial moment, he'll precisely strike your weakness, hitting the mark every time with a single, fatal blow. And after everything was ready, Elder Ke finally made his move.

Move 184, White, Ban.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Mobai, who had been lying on the chair in the live broadcast room and not really wanting to talk, suddenly stood up and started tapping the screen repeatedly with his finger, as if he were calculating something.

"I rely on."

Jiang Mobai looked at the several areas in the center of the black stones and couldn't help but shake his head: "What's going on? This area in the center of the black stones has suddenly become dangerous?"

"Has Yi Zheng, a 9-dan player, finally given up?"

The female live streamer thought Jiang Mobai had misspoke and couldn't help but ask.

As the game progressed into the latter half, Jiang Mobai, a 9-dan player, could only sigh and groan, unsure of what to say. The oppressive atmosphere made her want to leave work early.

"No, no, no! The problem lies with the artificial intelligence!"

Jiang Mobai said in disbelief, "Before we even realized it, Yi Zheng had already laid all the groundwork and unleashed it all at once!"
After this move, all of Black's weaknesses—such as cuts and limited liberties—were exposed at once! Even the entire large group in the center was strengthened!
I originally felt that the large group of stones in the center could at most be made to live by ko fighting, which would give Black a significant advantage.

But once it becomes a clean break, the situation will be completely different!

Because in this way, the struggle above will directly turn into an offensive, becoming a one-sided attack by Yi Zheng on artificial intelligence!

I usually can't handle this kind of pressure, let alone the fact that this part on the left grew out of time and created a bunch of extra obstacles. I estimate that artificial intelligence simply can't win against this obstacle.

"How could they turn things around like that? Holy crap! No, I should say Yi Zheng has turned things around like this many times before, but we won't give him that chance again."

In the past, when Yi Zheng's strength was average, he often found himself at a disadvantage. However, Yi Zheng always managed to make a spectacular comeback in the mid-to-late game, like a magician.

So he was known as the magician of the middle game at that time, but this title has gradually been forgotten.

"Is it because we've figured out his tactics?"

"No, it's because he had the advantage throughout, and we won't give him any chance to turn the tide!"

As long as he isn't given a chance to be at a disadvantage, he won't have a chance to turn the tide!

On the other side, Lee Jun-hyuk, who was watching the game, frowned more and more deeply.

No, it looks very similar, but it's not Yi Zheng's style at all.

Although they look very similar, even like they were made from the same mold, but...

Lee Jun-hyuk is certain of this.

The one who played this game was...

AlphaGo!
