Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

After three rounds of human-machine battles, Tian Min handed over an answer sheet that shocked everyone.

Especially in the third game, AI showed a strong offensive ability in the middle game, but Tian Min completed a bold conversion through clever abandonment tactics, and directly overtook the opponent. The calm and collected official is even more exciting for chess fans.

This is an unquestionable transcendence of hard power.

3:0

No one dared to make such a bold prediction before the game.

Even the most optimistic chess fans, even Tian Minze's fans, just think that Tian Minze may have a chance to win in this man-machine battle, but no one has ever dared to think about a score like 3:0. .

But Tian Minze did it.

This brought Tian Minze's popularity in the country to a climax and also gave Go another chance to become popular.

In Pengcheng, Minze Chess Academy announced its establishment and will recruit the first batch of teenagers in December to formally prepare to train professional chess players. Tian Minze will also complete part of the teaching, which has also attracted many young chess players. Come.

But in this era, the chess academy will naturally not use the previous method of self-competition and interpretation of chess records to select chess players. Instead, it will select good talents directly from the training class.

We also select potential ninth-dan newcomers from Weida.com.

The ninth level of online chess is about the level of professional 13. For a boy around 14 to years old, it is just the stepping stone to enter professional Go.

Tian Minze's fame was maximized by Yu Lijun and others.

The Elf Go Classroom once again aroused heated discussion in Pengcheng. This time Yu Lijun seized the opportunity and opened the third and fourth branches in the neighboring Yangcheng, completely establishing the brand.

The Go Classroom has also been renamed as the Youth Classroom, and some training projects for teenagers such as Go, programming, and speaking have entered the business scope.

As a former practitioner in this industry, my cousin Zhang Xinxin returned to her old profession and gave Yu Lijun some help.

In just one year, Yu Lijun managed his business in full swing, and Tian Minze was also a little surprised that this girl turned out to be so business-minded.

After three games, before the fourth game, Dr. Huang no longer felt nervous and anxious. The defeat had been settled, and both sides were much calmer.

Season 2 of the much-anticipated Man vs. Machine war has come to its fourth round.

This time, not only the tickets in the venue were sold out, but also two large screens were placed in the square to give visiting chess fans a chance to experience it. After the game, Tian Minze will also come to the square in front of the gate to participate in a few games. A small interactive activity with chess fans.

The organizers of the Chinese Chess Academy have also begun to divert some of their attention away from the competition venue. How to use this event to further promote Go has become one of the topics considered by the Chess Academy.

Tian Minze and Dr. Huang also discussed AI technical issues before the game. Tian Minze humbly asked for advice, but also mentioned that Elf Live would like to cooperate with Dr. Huang’s team and ask the AI ​​engineering team to make some optimizations to Elf Live’s recommendation algorithm.

Dr. Huang was also surprised by Tian Minze's active thinking and agreed wholeheartedly.

The referee urged the two sides to take their seats.

According to the agreement before the game, regardless of whether the victory or defeat has been decided, the five-game match will be completed as scheduled. Originally, this schedule design was to give human chess players a chance to save face, but now it has become whether the AI ​​can save face.

This time Tian Min won by guessing first and still held black.

In this way, in the first four games, Tian Min played black in three games and white in one game.

The professional chess players watching the game were staring at the big screen on the wall, which showed the scene in the game room next door. At this time, everyone saw that Tian Minze had already started to make moves. After just watching for a while, Shiang quickly noticed something strange. Not only him, but everyone found that today's start was unusual.

fast!

Tian Minze's move speed today was so fast that it was unreasonable.

The game started at 10 o'clock in the morning, and now it is still a little shy of 10:40. More than chess moves have been made on the chessboard, with an average of less than one move per minute. Both sides are making moves at a rapid pace.

This kind of speed is normal operation for AlphaGo.

Because in fact, in terms of AI's computing power, setting the total time of the game to three hours or two hours will not make much difference. The AI's judgment logic is simpler.

In the formulation of pre-game rules, Tian Minze fought for the right to appropriately lengthen the game time. Therefore, the game setting such a game time is mainly to take care of human chess players.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Tian Minze will fully consider the reasonable arrangement of the game time. Such a quick move is undoubtedly against common sense. It can only be said that Tian Minze has already made arrangements.

"Not only has it been arranged in advance, but every move of the AI ​​has been taken into consideration." This made Shiguang exclaim, "How is this possible?"

"You're really right," explained Fang Xu Jiudan on the side.

You must know that machines are different from people after all. Human chess players are full of too much randomness when playing chess, especially in the layout stage. There are too many choices to play, even for those players who like to adapt to changes in the same way. , you can’t guess what he will choose today.

Humans better understand the changes in Go.

But AI is different.

Its moves are all based on an optimal probability analysis. When it believes that a certain hand in the layout is the best move. Then in the next game, when faced with the same situation, the AI ​​is stubborn and will not change its approach.

Therefore, Tian Minze was already prepared. This seems to be the only explanation.

"Today's start seems familiar," Liu Xinghao said thoughtfully, staring at the chessboard.

Shi Guang also looked at the chessboard carefully and found that Tian Minze had played a black chess move on the second path. Then he realized, "This seems to be a chess game I have played before."

"Yes, it's very similar," Liu Xinghao explained as he moved the chessboard.

Shi Shi couldn't help but get excited. This was a game of chess against the Master. You must know that he lost quickly in this game and was teased by his opponent.

But Tian Minze happened to recover from such a game of chess, which made him feel a sense of excitement, "Minze's nine-dan chess game is also similar to mine."

The latest research during the game is also provided to the commentary box simultaneously.

Yu Liang heard the latest research coming from the headphones and gave an in-depth explanation of Tian Minze's bold choice, "The layout of this game of chess by Tian Minze is very similar to a game played by Master when he played against Time. But in the layout, Tian Min made a lot of optimizations, such as a simple jump on the lower left, which left an aftertaste; and the exchange of pulling and beating was abandoned."

"So!" Yu Liang paused here.

Gao Yu, the fourth-dan player, immediately said, "So, it seems that this game of chess will follow the same process as that of the seventh-dan player in Time?"
