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

Chapter 123: Chess Saint War

"King Gigi?"

When Yi Zheng heard the new word that Mr. Ke came up with, he didn't know what it meant. The reason why Yi Zheng chose Jiang Mobai was very simple.

Because Jiang Mobai is the current chess master, and Mr. Ke claims to be the last chess master, the chess master versus the chess master is quite interesting, just like the real and fake Monkey King.

Mr. Ke felt that it was too troublesome to explain and was too lazy to explain: "It's okay, just looking at this signature, it feels like it's also a chuunibyou..."

Yi Zheng seemed to have thought of something and chuckled: "A little bit... haha..."

Mr. Ke didn't seem too bothered by this. "Send him a private message. Do you want to understand the meaning of a Go Saint? Do you want to truly... understand Go?"

Yi Zheng asked as he typed, "What's this all about?"

Mr. Ke: "Don't worry about it. Some things are understood by those who understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I tell them."

Hearing this, Yi Zheng couldn't help but curl his lips, and then counterattacked with the joke he learned from Mr. Ke: "Riddler, get out of Gotham!"

Mr. Ke: "Let's talk about it first if DC can hold off on rebooting."

However, after Yi Zheng sent the message, Jiang Mobai did not reply immediately like Kuroki Teruto. Looking at the empty dialog box, Yi Zheng turned his head and glanced at Mr. Ke.

This guy seems a bit disrespectful. Should I give him a harder beating later?
"open it."

Mr. Ke raised his eyebrows. He actually ignored what he said. I will remember this grudge.

"it is good."

Yi Zheng nodded and agreed to the other party's game request, and the page directly entered the game state.

Black and white are automatically assigned by the system. In this round, Jiang Mobai plays black, but nearly a minute has passed and the opponent has not made a move yet.

Yi Zheng looked at the opponent who hadn't made a move yet, feeling a bit puzzled: "What's going on? It takes so long to think about the first step?"

In online chess, one has to consider whether the opponent will maliciously delay the game, so if the opponent has not made a move within one minute of the first step, the opponent is immediately eliminated.

Looking at his opponent who hadn't made a move yet, Mr. Ke gave what he thought was a very reasonable explanation: "It seems that he was frightened by my three consecutive victories against Kuroki Teruto, and he is trying to figure out how to form a good opening to deal with me.

This is perfectly normal. After watching these few games, most people will understand what it means to be like an ant observing the sky."

Jiang Mobai did not automatically withdraw from the game because he did not make a move. He made a move on the star position at the last second.

Looking at Jiang Mobai, who made his move at the last second, Old Ke said to Yi Zheng, "I'm a true prophet, aren't I? He waited until the very last second to make his move because he was planning his strategy."

On the other side, Jiang Mobai gasped as he stared at the computer. "You agreed to play while I was in the bathroom! You're trying to trick me! You're trying to sneak attack me! You want me to think I'm scared and lose without a fight? You're such a jerk!"

Watching "AlphaGo" make the next move, Jiang Mobai quickly adjusted his breathing, picked up the water cup on his table and took a sip of water.

"AlphaGo, huh? Look at me, I'm going to kill you!"

"..."

After 176 moves, Jiang Mobai was silent for a moment as he looked at the big dragon that had been drawn in. The big dragon had been killed by someone else.

"Oops! I made a mistake. Let's play another round."

Jiang Mobai quickly adjusted his state and then applied for a game again.

In the second game, in the 97th move, Black and White lost in the middle game.

"I got stabbed at the beginning, so it doesn't count." In the third game, Jiang Mobai looked at the situation after the big change and lost by a point, so he chose to resign.

But still without any hesitation, Jiang Mobai submitted another game request.

Even though I lost three games in a row, I'm still pretty stubborn.

"Each person only has three rounds each time. Let's explore the area ahead next time."

Looking at the private message sent to him by the other party, Jiang Mobai touched the hair he had pulled out within an hour and replied: "Next time for sure."

For his next opponent, Mr. Ke chose Alexander, who is ranked third in the world ranking among all the players.

It was also three games, and 3-0 was still a crushing victory for Mr. Ke.

"So, of the top five in your world ranking, I've already defeated three. The second, third, and fourth are already defeated. What about the fifth?"

Mr. Ke counted the number of people and found that the first and fifth place were still not beaten. So he would beat the fifth place first and then kick the first place down.

Yi Zheng flipped through the application list and did not find Ethan, who was ranked fifth.

Thinking of this, Yi Zheng went online to check Ethan's recent game information.

"Ethan, who is ranked fifth and is from America, is currently in the semi-finals of the Copa América. By the time he finishes, we'll probably be done too. We'll just have to wait until next time."

Yi Zheng checked the relevant news and roughly knew what the other party was doing.

Asia has the Asian Cup, Europe has the European Cup, and America has also established the Copa America.

Although there are no competitions in China due to the approaching Chinese New Year, it is different in America. They do not have any Chinese New Year customs and celebrate Christmas instead, so the competitions are still going on as usual.

"Then we can only talk about it next time."

Yi Zheng shook his head. The other party might not even know about the launch of AlphaGo. After all, the Go competition was held in a closed environment. If they could receive any information from the outside world, it would be cheating.

I guess we’ll have to wait until the other team’s game is over before we know what happened today.

Hearing this, Mr. Ke began to shake his head. “I wonder if he’ll regret participating in the competition after seeing these games.”

"I think it's highly unlikely. It's not that easy to thoroughly study the chess records you left behind."

Yi Zheng couldn't help but shake his head. Many people couldn't understand too many of the chess moves played by Mr. Ke. If there was no one who really understood the game to explain it to them, and they only studied it on their own, although it might broaden their thinking, it would be too difficult to fully understand it.

Just like artificial intelligence, if you are only given one step without the subsequent correct changes, you will not understand it.

Knowing the correct answer does not mean knowing the correct way to solve the problem, and the final result may even be completely opposite.

Moreover, some of them give you the correct changes, but you can't figure it out. You have to arrange them yourself and keep reading the recommended research of artificial intelligence before you can slowly understand it.

However, today's chess players obviously do not have such conditions and can only study on their own, which is extremely difficult.

Not to mention anything else, whether Kuroki Teruto can accept that Mr. Ke’s outrageous start is actually an advantage is a question, because it is really too destructive to one’s world view.

"Then let's just go for World No. 1. Didn't he submit a match request?"

Yi Zheng looked through the existing game list and did not find any game request sent by Li Junhe.
