Soul of Chess: Buy the chessboard from Shi Guangjia at the beginning of the game

Chapter 218 Chapter 217 You ask me how far is the distance between winning and losing
Tian Min walked into the Weiqi channel studio ahead of time and looked at the staff who were busy building the studio.

This is the roof of an office building in Seoul. It is only 100 meters away from the competition venue of Gao Yongxia's first round of man-machine battle. The TV stations of China, Japan and South Korea are all arranged to conduct live comments here. Just look up and you can see Gao Yongxia sitting in front of the competition bench.

Such a distance seemed to put some pressure on Gao Yongxia, so he had no choice but to not look in this direction.

Tian Min was a little dissatisfied. This kind of pressure test may be one of the gaps between human chess players and AI.

Gao Yongxia's pre-match interview was still full of confidence, and he directly shouted the declaration of a [-]-[-] victory. Tian Min saw the interview screen broadcast on the TV station and could only smile helplessly. He thought it was too easy.

The video also started to show the picture of the AlphaGo team. A group of people packed their machines and flew to Seoul. The leader, Dr. Huang, specially prepared a new light blue shirt instead of the programmer's plaid shirt.

Gao Yongxia stood in the game room, twisting his neck, with a nervous expression.

Soon everything was ready, and Gao Yongxia shook hands with Dr. Huang.

The game will adopt Chinese rules, the black chess sticks to seven eyes and a half, the game time is two hours, and there are three opportunities for a 60-second delay countdown.

Tian Min stared at the camera, seeing Gao Yongxia swallowing his saliva, he couldn't help but start to worry, today's match was a big one, does Gao Yongxia have a chance?Tian Min couldn't help asking.

The two sides guessed first, Dr. Huang put two pieces on the board, Gao Yongxia counted the pieces, there were seven pieces in total, Gao Yongxia got the chance to choose.

"Nine-dan chess player Gao Yongxia, what chess piece did you choose?"

"Black chess."

Gao Yongxia thought for a moment, then took out a sunspot from the chess box, the star in the upper right corner.

Dr. Huang immediately clicked on the computer, and AlphaGo quickly made a second move. What is strange is that this version of AlphaGo's second move actually thought for a long time, and did not make a move for at least 40 seconds.

Everyone is a little strange.

There are three people in the studio today, Tian Minze's [-]th dan, Yu Lijun's [-]th dan, and Gao Yu's [-]th dan are up for commentary.

Gao Yu asked in four paragraphs, "The first move fell on the star position, and there were no pieces on the chessboard alone. Under such circumstances, does AlphaGo have to think for so long? It's a bit strange."

Yu Lijun also looked at Tian Minze strangely.

Tian Min also shook his head, "We don't know the operating logic of this software, but I hope he won't make mistakes."

The scene was silent, and Gao Yongxia even picked up the water bottle and drank two big mouthfuls of water.

In the silence, AlphaGo finally made a move, as if a human chess player habitually waited for a few seconds before the start of the game, giving himself a breather.

At this moment it is really like a chess player.

Everyone can feel the demeanor and aura exuded by a top professional chess player like Gao Yongxia, but only his opponent can't feel it, because his opponent is cold and emotionless.

Today, not only in Asia, these Go countries are paying attention to this game. Similarly, Go has successfully made its way out of the circle at this moment, and Europe and North America are also broadcasting it.

Just downstairs from the top floor where Tian Minze lives, there are studios in Europe and North America.

Go at this moment, the world's attention.

The white chess is in the same star position, the black chess is unexpected, Gao Yongxia directly clicked on AlphaGo's dot [-].

If this game were to go back to Japan more than 100 years ago, the celebrity Hideya and his disciples would definitely walk away. It was an unspoken rule at that time not to do three-three.

But now, under the promotion of Tian Minze, there are more and more dots, threes and threes, and even amateur chess players will play a few moves.

White blocks, black invites with "Tian Yu Ding style", white avoids resolutely, and black flies two ways, forming a common move of dot three three.

The white piece occupies the empty corner again, and the black piece occupies the star position.White returned to the lower left single gate guard corner, and black directly touched it.

Gao Yu [-]th Duan teased, "The black chess moves are your signature moves in Tian Jiuduan. I heard that you served as Gao Yongxia's staff. I don't know if you have made such preparations."

Tian Min smiled, "The match has just begun, and the two sides are still far away."

When AlphaGo met for the first time today, it showed a very solid play. After a feint shot from the outside, it quickly interrupted the attack, leaving the external momentum to black and sticking to the corner.

But Gao Yongxia also grabbed the good point of black's splitting the edge, and the three white pieces on the upper left became thinner.

But AlphaGo didn't deal with it right away. It hung the corner at the bottom first to test the black's hand, and at the same time borrowed the corner of the white chess from the left to maximize its position, trying to swallow the side.

If black defends the corner, white just pulls back from below, forming an excellent chess shape and achieving the wish.

However, Gao Yongxia's basic countermeasure of black chess in this game is tit-for-tat, not giving the opponent a chance to play a beautiful chess shape, and the black chess directly sandwiches a low position, forming a dislocated double-flying pincer attack, and does not give white a chance to seize the big field.

At this time, AlphaGo immediately dropped the dot [-] on the upper right of the black chess in retaliation.

Gao Yongxia wanted to laugh at this moment, because at a certain moment, he felt that he was facing a familiar chess player, that is Tian Minze.

The two sides have already played 30 moves. At this time, Gao Yongxia took 25 minutes, while AlphaGo only took 15 minutes. They played fast and steadily, and they were gradually showing the style of Go that belongs to AI.

When the black chess continued to make a fuss about the opponent's dot [-] in the upper right corner, the AI ​​had already taken the lead and directly pulled it on the upper left. At this time, Gao Yongxia hesitated for a long time, and made a move of hitting and eating after pulling with one hand.

"Gao Jiuduan is taking the ground," Tian Min commented, "Under the opponent's somewhat elusive attacking pace, it is wise for Gao Jiudan to take the ground first."

Tian Minze has already seen Gao Yongxia's desire to win in the eyes of Gao Yongxia who played chess with the number of eyes.

At this time, the AI ​​made an astonishing move, ignored the black chess's strong attack, turned around and leaned on the left side, and forcibly opened up the formation to protect the ground.

This kind of chess made the original black chess's playing and eating become a bit petty, and the effectiveness of the chess dropped instantly.

Tian Min frowned, this move exceeded the expectations of most human chess players.

Gao Yongxia's choice has become very important, maybe the outcome is in the middle of Gao Yongxia's choice.

After a long test, Gao Yongxia forcibly broke the long chess. At this time, the black chess has already launched a strong attack, and he is bound to be unwilling to be at a disadvantage locally.

Tian Min began to place two changing diagrams on the chessboard, "At this time, white can force the lead, so that with the borrowing of the lower left, white can fight in the middle, so that a big battle is imminent. Similarly, white can underestimate this piece, directly from the The two-way pull is passed, so the corner is already alive, and the black chess is attacking to no avail, so we have to find another place."

In just a few minutes, Tian Min gave the ideal picture in his mind.
