Chapter 22: The chess world that has never been tortured by AI

The other side.

After Yu Shao returned home and finished his homework, the chess game he played with Zheng Qin in the chess hall that afternoon came to his mind.

"I was actually at risk of losing that game, although it was mainly due to my underestimation of the enemy, but I still have a lot of shortcomings in attacking and killing."

In fact, Yu Shao was very clear about his weakness in his previous life, which was that he was not good at attacking. His chess style was dense, and he would often make himself invincible first, waiting for the enemy to be defeated.

He is good at using his strength to overwhelm his opponents, often by invading and changing the surrounding territory invisibly, slowly strangling his opponents. His ferocious and aggressive attacks are indeed his biggest weakness.

In fact, there is a very counter-intuitive phenomenon in Go, that is, in most games, those who frequently attack are often the weak ones.

Because in Go, attacking is not the best strategy as it will expose one's own chess weaknesses. The game between two masters is often so subtle that it is terrifying to think about, and the process is tortuous and tortuous.

Because the calculations of masters are far-reaching and they have many plans in mind, they are also good at strategizing and planning the overall situation. The saying "He who does not plan for eternity is not qualified to plan for the moment" is this truth.

However, because they are planning the overall situation, the chess moves of masters often appear to be less aggressive, because they are not fighting for the moment, but for eternity, and they want to coordinate the overall situation.

Once this type of chess player takes the initiative to attack, it means that either the situation is not good and he has fallen into a disadvantage, or he has completely figured out everything and is ready to start slaying the dragon.

Of course, there is another type of chess player, who is a pure attacker.

They may not be as good as chess players like Yu Shao in controlling the overall situation, but they have extremely keen sense of attack and kill, and their understanding of dead chess and thickness is worse than ordinary people.

They can accurately find the key points on the board and launch a fierce attack like a storm, killing those who cannot resist, so as to grasp the game and control the rhythm.

But this kind of chess player is very rare among high-level chess players, and when they play against chess players with a dense style of play like Yu Shao, the record is at most 50-50.

Because even if your attacking and killing abilities are indeed outstanding, when facing a master of the same level, the more fiercely you kill, the bigger the flaws you reveal, and the more vulnerable you will be to counterattack.

Yu Shao felt that he was not good at attacking, compared with this type of chess players. Otherwise, if today's game really turned into a game of testing internal strength, Zheng Qin would not even have a chance to fight back.

As for the chess player who has both the careful calculations to plan the overall situation and the most ferocious attacking ability, Yu Shao only knows one, and that is - Go AI.

When looking at the game records of Go AI, we can often see that Go AI can take the overall situation into consideration while often being able to defeat the opponent in a fierce battle.

Especially the games between two Go AIs, which are often fought to the point of killing each other, making human players sweat profusely.

Thinking of this, Yu Shao suddenly remembered the strange reactions of everyone in the chess hall after he played the three-three move.

"Is it true that there is no Go AI in this world yet?"

Yu Shao was somewhat puzzled.

The technological level of this world is almost the same as when he traveled through time in his previous life. There are also computers, smart phones, and VR glasses, so Yu Shao has never thought that there is no Go AI in this world.

Yu Shao thought about it, walked into the study, turned on the computer, and began to search for various information about Go AI on the Internet.

However, after browsing several web pages, Yu Shao did not see any news about Go AI.

The only thing that was even remotely related to Go AI was a post in a Go forum where someone asked if a computer could beat a human player at Go.

The replies were basically all negative.

[I am half a step ahead of God: Brother, how is this possible? It may be possible in other chess games, but it is absolutely impossible in Go! ]

[Memoirs of my late wife: Let's analyze rationally. Do you know how many variations there are in Go? 10 to the 170th power! The number of variations is even greater than the total number of atoms in the known universe! Even if your computer smokes, it is impossible to calculate them all.]

[The strategist enters the game with his own body: Go is too complicated. If it were any other chess game, a computer could easily calculate all the variations, but it is not the case with Go. If you think about it this way, people who can play Go well are really awesome.]

"Really?"

Yu Shao was a little dumbfounded. These comments on the forum were too familiar to him. Before the advent of Go AI, no one generally believed that Go AI could beat human players, and the reasons were exactly the same as those given in this forum.

This is indeed the case. Even the top Go AI in the past is still far from exhausting all the variations of Go.

However, Go AI does not actually need to exhaust all possibilities of Go. It does not need to be the best. It only needs to be better, which is enough to sweep the entire Go world and make all human players crawl on the ground.

Yu Shao was a little skeptical and started searching for various Go patterns on the Internet.

The final result is——

All the Go patterns and moves in the AI ​​era have not yet appeared. Many patterns that have been eliminated in the AI ​​era are still mainstream patterns in this world!

This is a Go world that has never experienced the torture of Go AI! Yu Shao stared at the computer in a daze.

In a world where there is already Go AI, he was able to rank among the top five in the world. In a world where there is no Go AI yet, isn't that just random killing?

However, contrary to Yu Shao's expectations, he was not that excited.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It is true that he can rely on the moves of the AI ​​era in his mind, combined with his own chess skills, to easily crush this era, but does this really make sense?

Go is fun only when you have an opponent of equal strength. After all, it is impossible to play a famous game alone.

"No, neither is it..."

An idea suddenly popped up in Yu Shao's mind! Attacking has always been his weakness, mainly because he doesn't dare to attack. He has shouldered too many people's expectations in his previous life, and he dare not lose, and cannot lose.

But in this life, can he work hard to become an attacking chess player to make up for his shortcomings? !

"If that happens, will my chess skills reach a whole new level?"

Although he had tried hard to overcome his shortcomings and reach a higher level in his previous life, once he faced a major competition, he could not help but choose the chess style he was best at.

But this rebirth may be an opportunity to start over?

Become an attacking chess player?

Yu Shao was stunned for a long time, and suddenly blinked.

"No, what was I thinking about?"

"I have played chess all my life in my previous life. Now I am reborn. Of course I should enjoy my youth first!"

"I must have been infected by Zhou De. My mind is a little unclear."

Yu Shao shook his head, stretched, then stood up, turned off the computer, and prepared to take a shower and go to bed. .….. (ps: please read the follow-up and data, woo woo woo)
