It's almost...time to go!
At 1:40 pm on June 1st, the dormitory of Huaxia Chess Academy.
Lei Qi, who was temporarily arranged to rest here during the competition, adjusted his emotions and clothes, took a deep breath, then walked out of the room and walked towards the chess academy building.
Because this Dragon Star Battle final attracted too much attention, the Chess Association arranged for both Lei Qi and Rui Zhao to live in the dormitory of the Chess Academy, so that they could go directly to the competition venue and avoid being disturbed by media chess fans.
I have to say that Lei Qi is very lucky for this arrangement.
Otherwise, just because of the extremely high level of attention this Dragon Star Finals has attracted, even if you are mentally prepared, you will inevitably be affected by all the hot discussions and gossip outside the court.
Because of this, since losing the first game yesterday, the young Chinese leader has not browsed any news or online communities, and has not even called his parents.
In his eyes, there is only today's game now!
Yesterday's battle made him clearly feel that in the blitz chess format, his rival was stronger than he imagined!
Although yesterday's attempt to quickly win over the opponent with a flying knife was a radical attempt in a Fanqi game with a margin for error, Lei Qi was still surprised by the final defeat.
He never expected that with his preparation in advance, Rui Zhao would be able to successfully remove the sword and quickly defeat him in the next direct attack!
More than a year ago, the opposite-sex rival who publicly stated at the Siege Award Ceremony that he wanted to catch up with him has now taken the lead in the Dragon Star Finals!
Even in terms of local attacks and kills, under the blitz chess format, Rui Zhao has a clear advantage!
The only thing that could make Lei Qi comfort himself was that the opponent didn't play his best tricks all the way!
Obviously...I have worked very, very hard over the past year and won two more world championships...
But why...she is still pursued to this point!
Since yesterday, the young leader couldn't help but ask himself this question from time to time.
But every time he started thinking about this issue, he realized that he was distracted again, and quickly gathered his thoughts again and devoted himself to preparations for today's second final.
In this game of chess... we must slowly compete with her in internal strength and judgment!
This is already his only advantage in the blitz chess match.
Lei Qi, who walked into the Qi Yuan building, reminded him secretly again.
As for whether you can handle mistakes when time is tight...
It doesn't matter! She is not a god, she will make mistakes!
After cheering himself up again, the reigning chess master of China took a deep breath and then tried to relax himself. Try to be in the fullest state possible to face the biggest challenge that you have faced since you met Miss Zhaojun...
…
…
"Good afternoon, leaders and guests!
"I am Liu Yuhong, a women's eighth-dan chess player, and also the senior sister of Lei Qi's ninth-dan.
"And this is Sun Yi's 9th Dan, who is also Rui Zhao's 8th Dan brother!"
"Hello, leaders and distinguished guests!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the same day, in the VIP viewing room of the Huaxia Chess Academy.
Seeing that the game of chess had already started, Liu Yuhong also started his opening remarks, while Sun Hou, who had gradually lost his temper, also saluted the guests in a decent manner.
After Rui Zhao won the first game of the three rounds of the final, celebrity Zhaojun, who had already won the championship point, naturally received unprecedented attention! A large number of social celebrities have even contacted the Chess and Cards Center and the Go Association, hoping to come to the Chess Academy to watch the game.
Because of this, the association finally decided to organize a unified on-site viewing and explanation in the VIP viewing room of the chess academy. After playing the last game of the bubbling match, Sun Houer, who decided to continue to be a sparring partner for his junior sister, and Little Bird who stayed with him, became the best choice to come to the VIP viewing room to give full-time explanations.
After all, this is a super fast chess move in thirty seconds! The performance of Lei Qi and Rui Zhao in this Dragon Star Battle is enough to be said to be the two top chess players in China today!
If other chess players are arranged to come over, the AI may not be able to keep up with the two players' ideas within half a minute, which would be embarrassing in front of the distinguished guests!
"...Today, Sun Yi Jiuduan and I will give you an explanation of this final!
"Both of us are relatively familiar with the two players in this final. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time, including some interesting things that we can share with you. We are also happy to chat with you.
"Now that the chess game has started, we will enter the chess game.
"The two sides started with a relatively rare diagonal eye and a diagonal star. After that, the two sides briefly tested the three corners and then made a classic three-three point on the upper left and lower left.
"Afterwards, the black chess that took the lead was sandwiched on the upper right, the white chess flew up and left, and the black chess moved to the left. These were all chosen by the AI, which reflected the two people's excellent basic skills and chess sense...
"Ah, this is...Mr. Hou!
"What's the problem here?"
When he saw someone raising his hand, Xiaoxiao birdie temporarily interrupted his explanation, looked at the guest's name badge and signaled for him to speak.
Only then did Mr. Hou, whose name was called, put down his hand and expressed his question:
"That's right! I don't know Go very well! I also want to take this opportunity to learn more about it this time!
"Since Liu Baduan just mentioned the first choice of AI, it just so happens that I also want to ask:
“Hasn’t the Go AI been out for ten years? And it is said that the level of the Go AI is far higher than that of humans!
"In this case, isn't the current Go competition just about comparing who can memorize AI music scores?! Then what's the point of comparing? It's better than memorizing!"
As soon as Mr. Hou finished speaking, a small burst of faint laughter immediately came from the scene. Although it is true that many of the guests who came today are pure Go players who were attracted by Rui Zhao. But for the guests who knew Go, this question really made people laugh.
However, as a commentator, Liu Yuhong naturally cannot have any contempt.
This time, Rui Zhao's consecutive victories in the Dragon Star Battle have attracted a large number of Go amateurs to pay attention to this professional event, including officials, entrepreneurs, scholars and other people with great social influence in front of them.
For Go practitioners, after finally gaining such an important opportunity through Rui Zhao's outstanding performance, they naturally have to do their best to publicize it to the outside world and break the inherent impression.
So when faced with Mr. Hou’s question, Liu Yuhong immediately explained politely and carefully:
"Ah, that's it, Mr. Hou! You may have some misunderstandings about the development of professional Go in the AI era!
"It is true that the AI of Go is much better than the top players, but it does not mean that with the best changes given by the AI, the competition between human masters will become more like 'memorizing AI scores'. < br>
"Because Go is ever-changing. If the opponent does not play according to the established chess record, the next solution will be completely different. This kind of change is simply not something that people can memorize!
"If I have to give a similar example, for example, although the knowledge points in the mathematics test of the college entrance examination are basically the same every year, if you memorize all the correct answers to the mathematics questions in the college entrance examination paper of the previous year, you can guarantee that you will pass this year's college entrance examination. Get full marks?
"Obviously not! Not even every year!
"In the final analysis, the right way is to learn problem-solving methods according to the textbooks and apply them flexibly.
"Furthermore, just as the content in the textbook is far from all mathematics, the Go AI is actually much better than humans, and far behind the real Go God!
"Even because it is a black box whose rules cannot be explained to the outside world, even specific theories must be summarized and advanced by humans from the analysis of a large number of games.

"We professional chess players are constantly working hard to play better Go with the assistance of Go AI and promote the continuous progress of Go theory! And professional competitions can be said to be the forefront of this theoretical progress!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hou nodded thoughtfully. However, judging from the confused look on his face, he still had no concrete idea.
When Sun Yi on the side saw this, he immediately took over and said:
"Mr. Hou! Just right!
"Lei Qi and Rui Zhao have just played some moves that were not chosen by the AI. I just want to take this opportunity to briefly talk to you! Although the AI matching rate of both sides is not high, they both performed very well! < br>
"White's 26th move flew down and attacked the four upper left pieces of black's chess. Black's collision is a common method here.
"Then Lei Qi's pull is not a choice, but it is full of ingenious ideas of human chess players.
"Originally, if the white chess moves forward, the black chess can just follow. If the white chess blocks the crossing by force, it will be directly blocked.
"But with this extra lever, White can forcefully block Black's four pieces and it's established again! Black must respond.
"And Rui Zhao is trying to pull the strings here, and he will use his own tactics!
"If White continues to insist on breaking up, it will still be able to capture Black's four pieces, but in this way, Black can take advantage of the jacquard on the outside, but White will capture almost all the stem pieces... Well, if you don't understand, you can read this The winning rate given by AI, if you play like this, the winning rate of black is over 70%!
"So in the 30th move, Lei Qi, who saw through the opponent's intention, naturally could not fall into the trap, but pressed the upper right hand.
"Here, we hope that Black can get a break, so that White can have a continuous means of breaking and then turning over!
"As a result, Black's chess shape collapses, and White's winning rate will skyrocket to more than 85%!
"However, Rui Zhao also used a delay and made the choice recommended by the AI - break play. After exchanging with the white chess piece, he played again.
"In this way, when White breaks the play again, Black can pass the abandoned piece and go to both sides!
"For this reason, Lei Qi did not continue to use the breaking method, but chose to twist and start a new battle!
“The two sides showed off their moves, dug holes in each other, and battled wits within only thirty seconds per move. It can be said that they showed extremely high Go skills and standards!
"Although the AI compliance rate in this section is not high, the winning rates of both sides have not fluctuated violently, and have always hovered around two points!
"Despite the advent of AI, the competitive core of Go, which has existed throughout history, has never changed."
Hearing this, Mr. Hou, who had just asked the question, nodded as if he were in a dream:
"That's it! Let me ask you why after the advent of AI, so many people still like to watch Go games!"
"Yes!"
Liu Yuhong on the side nodded and said:
"Although some slow chess matches are a bit slow in pace, the live broadcast is slightly less enjoyable to watch. But just looking at the battle of wits between top chess players, it is definitely highly enjoyable to watch.
"The Dragon Star Battle this time is a super-fast chess match that takes half a minute to move. Generally, a game can be played in about two hours. It is also more suitable for live viewing.
"Although due to time constraints, the winning rate of blitz chess matches sometimes fluctuates greatly. However, the top blitz chess masters like Lei Qi and Rui Zhao can still make extremely high-quality bets under strict time requirements.
"Our Go game, with the advancement of technology and the efforts of front-line professional players, is still blooming with its ever-lasting brilliance! The non-compliance between the two sides in this game is the most typical example! < br>
“Dear guests who are interested, you can continue to pay more attention in the future!
"Next, let's continue to look at the exciting chess games that these two 'post-05' rising stars Lei Qi and Rui Zhao brought us..." (End of Chapter)
