Chapter 170 Tian Yuan Solution

“One hand…”

“Tian…Tian Yuan?!”

When Jiang Xiahua saw the ten rows and ten columns of black pieces on the chessboard, he was stunned for a moment and looked at the TV screen in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

This move is even more incredible than Dot 33, which has existed since ancient times. After Dot 33, although the opponent can easily play thickly and gain external power, at least Dot 33 can determine the corner and gain real territory.

As for the Tian Yuan, the only way to describe it is unreasonable.

Gold corners, silver edges and grass belly is the chess principle since ancient times. In the layout stage, the corner is the largest, followed by the edge, and then the middle belly.

Because corners are the easiest to surround, they can be surrounded in just a few moves. However, if you want to surround the sides, more moves will be needed. If you want to surround the center, even more moves will be needed.

It is also a chess principle that the master plays in the belly, but this refers to the middle game stage. Only those who can handle the middle belly well in the middle game are masters, which also shows how difficult it is to handle the middle belly.

"What is he doing?"

Yuan Wenyi also had an unbelievable look on his face. He swallowed his saliva, stared at the chessboard, and asked, "How is it possible... that one move is in Tianyuan?"

Yu Shao looked at the black piece in the center of the computer screen. After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly understood what Su Yiming meant.

"He's responding..."

This was Su Yiming's response to the game of chess he played yesterday.

Because of the way of playing the game yesterday, Su Yiming began to explore a completely new way of playing the game, even though this way of playing the game was somewhat shocking, or even absurd.

Jiang Xiahua couldn’t understand, Yuan Wenyi couldn’t understand, and no one else could understand, but he could understand.

Because this move was made specifically for him to see.

Yu Shao suddenly felt complicated.

"One hand of Tian Yuan, isn't this disrespectful to the opponent?"

Yuan Wenyi looked at the computer screen and asked in confusion: "This is equivalent to wasting a chess move."

Hearing this, Yu Shao shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as respect or disrespect. If it is really disrespectful, how does one hand of Tianyuan compare to nineteen out of nineteen?"

Jiang Xiahua and Yuan Wenyi were slightly stunned when they heard this.

Indeed, if one hand in Tianyuan is looking down on the opponent, then one hand of nineteen nineteen has something to say, this is the real way to look down on the opponent.

"Then why is he in Tianyuan?"

Jiang Xiahua frowned, thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "I know!"

"You know?"

Hearing this, Yu Shao looked at Jiang Xiahua with some surprise.

"He is putting pressure on Teacher Fu Shunan and Zhu Yi, using this absurd method to shake their will!"

Jiang Xiahua took a deep breath, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "If the game is played normally, it is normal for either side to lose."

"However, if Su Yiming's men are in Tianyuan, and Teacher Fu Shunan and Zhu Yi still lose, it will be completely unacceptable. Teacher Fu Shunan and Zhu Yi will be under great pressure in the future!"

“So in this game, Teacher Fu Shunan will be put to the test, because he is not allowed to lose, so he will have to fight for his life. If Teacher Fu Shunan tries too hard, Zhu Yi may not be able to keep up with his train of thought!”

Jiang Xiahua was amazed and exclaimed: "This is simply... a genius tactical design in a doubles match!"

Yuan Wenyi was stunned, but couldn't find any words to refute. He said in surprise: "Is this even possible?!"

Hearing this, Yu Shao couldn't help but laugh.

It cannot be said that what Jiang Xiahua said was unreasonable, but this was definitely not Su Yiming's original intention when he made the Tianyuan move.

"In fact, the term 'Tianyuan' is not nonsense." Yu Shao thought about it, shook his head, and spoke to Jiang Xiahua and Yuan Wenyi.

"?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiahua and Yuan Wenyi were stunned for a moment. They turned their heads and looked at Yu Shao in disbelief.

"What's the meaning?"

Jiang Xiahua found it hard to accept. He looked at Yu Shao and asked in confusion, "You mean, Su Yiming thought that Tianyuan was a good move, so he made this move?"

“Tianyuan is actually a very good position.”

Yu Shao did not answer directly. After a moment of silence, he said, "If there is a connection with Tianyuan in the fight for the corner, Qi will not be a problem, right?"

"right."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiahua hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "If Tianyuan has a child, then the children in the four corners will become advantageous."

"but--"

Jiang Xiahua paused, then changed the subject and said, "That is based on sacrificing a move, and in the layout phase, any move could be worth dozens of points."

"Tian Yuan is of no help in surrounding the territory. Therefore, as long as the white pieces are willing to lose a little and avoid the local changes of the conquering pieces, it will be difficult for Tian Yuan to play a role."

"And once the Tianyuan piece is unable to function, then the black piece will definitely lose."

Yu Shao nodded and did not deny Jiang Xiahua's words, because this was indeed the reason why Tianyuan had always been considered unfeasible.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Shao spoke again: "In fact, in theory, there is an optimal solution to Go."

“Is there an optimal solution to Go?”

Jiang Xiahua and Yuan Wenyi looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.

Jiang Xiahua looked surprised and asked, "How can there be an optimal solution to Go?"

"There is no optimal solution to Go right now, that's because the board is nineteen by nineteen."

Yu Shao looked at Jiang Xiahua and asked, "But what if the chessboard is only five by five?"

"Five times five?"

Jiang Xiahua was slightly stunned. After thinking carefully, he suddenly trembled and realized a fact that frightened him. He said, "One hand of Tianyuan, sure to win?!"

"right."

Yu Shao nodded and said, "If the board is only five times five, then Tianyuan will win with one move, and the same is true for seven times seven, but if it goes higher, Go will undergo a sudden change."

"One-handed Tianyuan is not good because it cannot take care of the ground, but this is not because one-handed Tianyuan is not good, but because we humans cannot master it."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Speaking of this, Yu Shao's mood became a little complicated. After a pause, he continued: "The world of Go is too complex and vast. Anyone who is in it will feel their own insignificance and ignorance."

“Even if you play a million games, you still can’t understand the mystery. All you see is still darkness.”

"It is beyond human power to find the only answer on the chessboard. No matter who you are, you can only move forward by groping... no matter who you are."

"The reason why a hand of Tianyuan is not good is actually because its value is too difficult to estimate."

“The changes that begin with Tianyuan have no value to follow and no standard to measure… Each move may seem worthless, but it takes many moves to reveal its value.”

Yu Shao looked at the computer screen again, and this time the white piece finally fell, placing it on the star position of four columns and sixteen rows.

"A move of Tianyuan often indicates a strategy of pursuing a grand pattern. This strategy is difficult to master. A game that deliberately pursues a grand pattern is often not successful, such as the three stars in a row."

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and continued: "But, if someone can master that kind of big chess thinking..."

"One hand of Tian Yuan, it can be said to be..."

"Not a bad move."

It was silent.

After hearing what Yu Shao said, Jiang Xiahua and Yuan Wenyi were completely stunned and speechless for a moment.

Since they learned Go, they have known the saying of "gold horns, silver edges and grass belly", so they have never thought deeply about whether the Tianyuan move is feasible.

But after listening to Yu Shao's words, they had to admit that every word of Yu Shao's was incisive and there was no word that could be refuted. It brought them a way of thinking that they had never had before.

"I finally understand why you were able to make that move of 3-3. I would never have such an unorthodox idea."

After a long time, Jiang Xiahua came back to his senses. He looked at Yu Shao with complicated eyes, exhaled lightly, and said, "What you said does make sense."

"If there is really someone who can master that kind of big-picture chess thinking, maybe Tianyuan is really a good move."

Jiang Xiahua was speechless and said, "But, that kind of person shouldn't exist, right? If there really is such a person, he would undoubtedly be the God of Go. I can't think of anyone who can beat him."

some.

Hearing this, Yu Shao answered silently in his heart.

There are indeed people who can master this kind of big-picture chess-playing strategy... No, they are not humans.

That's a Go AI.

In the past, Go AI had played a move that was very powerful, and came up with a terrifying answer:

A move like Tianyuan, which looks like a huge loss at first glance, actually only loses 6% of the winning rate in the eyes of Go AI, which is only half a point! And this loss of only half a point is actually impossible for human players to detect.

The game clearly seemed to be a losing one, but the Go AI said it only lost 6%, which is enough to make people think deeply.

Because this means that the Go AI has almost mastered that general way of playing the chess, and after calculations, it finally came to the conclusion that although Tianyuan lost a move... it was not too much of a loss.

Can you play chess if you are half a point short?

Can go down.

Even in previous lives, many professional chess players, including Yu Shao himself, would sometimes consider slightly loss-making moves for some tactical purposes, such as making some side-breaking layouts.

However, knowing that the loss of Tianyuan is not that outrageous, why does no one dare to play? Because... no chess player thinks that he can master the big-picture chess ideas like AI, and no chess player thinks that he can have the big picture of planning.

Moreover, Yu Shao knew the answer to the loss of Tianyuan, but Su Yiming did not know it, so he took out Tianyuan and tried to feel his way forward in the darkness.

This is Su Yiming's answer, this is his response, and this is also his determination.
