Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

Gao Yongxia's defeat is just the beginning of arousing the interest of chess fans. Since Gao Yongxia experienced a complete defeat, it will definitely lead to a topic, that is, whether anyone can beat AlphaGo.

On this point, Chinese chess fans are surprisingly unanimous, and Tian Min can definitely do it.

A game of five games of chess made chess fans particularly interested. At the same time, they also said that it was not enjoyable enough. They wished that AlphaGo and Tian Minze would play another game immediately. If Tian Minze loses, then there are Yu Liang and Shi Guang. In short, if you don’t defeat all the human masters, we won’t lose.

Many chess fans are looking forward to continuing to see AlphaGo's performance. They are both curious and want to see what else is unknown about him. After all, what these five games have shown is enough for human chess players to study for a long time.

Tian Min pondered for a moment, thought about how to reply, and said calmly, "I think AlphaGo is like a mature chess player. This maturity is not only in terms of moves, but also in mentality. He knows how to pursue victory and win." Don’t be greedy for winning, which is better than many professional chess players. In terms of Go skills, it has brought us many new skills for novices, and it is also worthy of extensive study.”

"I am very confident about this." After all, it is also a way to build momentum. Tian Min said unabashedly, "If it is still the generation of products Gao Yongxia faces this time, then I am confident that this Alpha Dog chess player , it is definitely not my opponent, I can beat it 5:0. The judgment I made is not just arrogance, it is based on my own Go."

"Only Tian Minze has this qualification."

Before the New Year, Tian Min took Yu Lijun to visit Nie Xuanfeng. After all, Yu Lijun was from the Xuanfeng Dojo, and Nie Xuanfeng was also her nominal teacher.

Today is the second time for both parties to discuss. Lu Jing and the other party are talking face to face, constantly passing information back to Tian Minze.

Tian Minze’s teacher Nie Xuanfeng also stood up and accepted the interview, “I think AlphaGo is just a hype, otherwise why would Gao Yongxia be chosen instead of Tian Minze? ​​After all, everyone knows that the chess player who can represent human beings must be at the highest level. chess player."

Tian Minze's response also attracted the attention of the AlphaGo team. This was also a long-distance battle against AlphaGo from the standpoint of strength.

In the world chess player rankings, Tian Minze has been at the top of the list for 9 consecutive months, and no one can shake it.

After all, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Tian Minze goes to war.

Faced with the call of public opinion, chess fans launched a challenge to AlphaGo on behalf of Tian Minze. This matter quickly became a hot topic, and AlphaGo’s design team immediately stated that they would consider the matter and promote the competition as soon as possible.

"Be prepared." Nie Xuanfeng patted his proud disciple on the shoulder, "If anyone can defeat AI, then I think this person must be you."

"If Alpha Dog challenges you, will you accept it?"

Therefore, without defeating Tian Minze, AlphaGo always feels less convincing. Many conspiracy theories are still fermenting, saying that Gao Yongxia lost on purpose and that AlphaGo is not that powerful.

The way of heaven damages more and makes up for the deficiency; the way of man damages the deficiency but makes up for the excess.

Dr. Huang on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and then said, "We have no intention of doing so."

"The layout is still lacking, and the routines are serious, but the calculations are precise and good at timely shaping. However, there are still weaknesses. I think as long as the mid-game is calm enough and pressing step by step, you can see when the opponent makes mistakes." Nie Xuanfeng is still playing Gao Yongxia The level of the opponent is measured in AI.

Tian Minze knew in his heart that he was not facing an opponent like Gao Yongxia, but a more powerful AI2.0. He said, "But what if this is an opponent who can't make mistakes?"

"Minze, you have to be prepared to fight that dog from now on," Nie Xuanfeng told Tian Minze.

Tian Minze is now a six-time individual world champion and a mixed doubles world champion. He is also the holder of three domestic titles: "Grand Chess Player", "National Chess Player" and "Chess Saint".

Two six zero three: c zero two four: c zero zero a: c four one one:: four zero

Tian Min smiled bitterly, "Teacher, what do you think of AI's Go?"

Wang Rui continued to ask, "If you were allowed to fight, would the outcome be different?"

Tian Minze also accepted an interview with Wang Rui at the Wan Provincial Chess Academy. This interview can be regarded as Tian Minze's response to the invitation for a man-machine battle.

"Characteristic four: The way of heaven (under comprehension), all affairs have unity in their mutual contradictions. The possibility of defending the opponent's attack is greatly increased; the possibility of finding flaws in the opponent's attack is greatly increased."

Tian Minze met the head of the Alpha Dog team in Kyoto, and both parties intended to announce this major event before the New Year.

Tian Minze insists on the 3-hour system, which naturally increases his thinking time. After all, computers have an obvious advantage in judging complex chess shapes, and Tian Minze wants to shorten this gap.

Tian Min shook his fist and said, "Teacher, you are right. I think I have some ideas."

"Yes," Tian Minze finally responded formally, "I will accept it, and I will prove that human chess players have their own advantages, and AlphaGo does not fully understand the art of Go."

"Then let's take three hours to see. Let's compete on a more fair level. After all, there is a whole team of engineers behind him, and there is no one behind me!" Tian Min gave his final request. .

The two sides no longer have any opinions on the rules of the game, and they still adopt Chinese rules, Wufanqi.

The AlphaGo team is more inclined to adopt the idea of ​​shortening the game duration, which is closer to the fast chess idea. The reason given is that this is more conducive to the broadcast of the game and satisfies the audience's viewing habits.

However, the two sides could not agree on the length of the game, and Tian Min insisted on a long game format of three hours for each side and three one-minute countdown opportunities.

"Then you find a way to establish an advantage in 50 moves!" Nie Xuanfeng said, "A chess player who is strong in the mid-term will be weaker. If the layout is strong, he must sacrifice some of his mid-term robbery materials. If the player is strong in the mid-term, it means that he does not like it in the mid-term. There is nothing invincible about a chess player who is stereotyped too early and leaves a lasting impression.”

Tian Minze seems to have some understanding that nothing is perfect and he must seek to survive amid changes.

Tian Minze also attended the third communication meeting between the two parties in person and asked directly, "Is the AlphaGo team not confident in its own software?"

"Discover new features!"

"system hint!"

The two sides do not continue to struggle with the competition system. As for the time, both parties agree to still set it in December. This way, they have generally reached an agreement and there are not many entanglements in the remaining details.

Many media have already received the news in advance that computers and humans have made a one-year agreement.
