Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

The Go board is divided into nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, with a total of 361 intersecting points. Except for the central Tianyuan stone, each point has a corresponding mirror point.

Tianyuan not only represents one of the highest honorary titles in Chinese Go, but also is the tenth out of ten unique central points on the Go board.

As the central point that oversees the overall situation, Tianyuan Yizi can theoretically radiate the effect of the entire chessboard, with unlimited potential.

But this is only theoretical.

In the theory of gold horn, silver edge, grass belly, which has remained unchanged since ancient times in Go, Tianyuan belongs to the grass belly.

However, the special nature of Tianyuan Yizi has inspired countless people with lofty ideals to study it from ancient times to the present.

People with lofty ideals from all walks of life left messages to express their opinions:

Jiang Liuer gave a like.

Wu Qingyuan deleted his comment.

The professional player clicked a thumbs down.

Because Tianyuan Yizi affected a series of changes such as Zhengzi, it is indeed very important in theory, and countless people have explored it from ancient times to the present.

Including ancient Chinese legends, there is also a legend about the so-called Tianyuan Relying Technique, which was taught to Du Ling by an immortal. Du Ling must use Tianyuan at the beginning of the game to be undefeated.

Some people say that this is the prototype of the unity of heaven and earth in Go Youth, but this is just a legend.

From the rumors that Li Shimin chose Tianyuan to show his courage, to Wu Qingyuan's many attempts at Tianyuan's layout in modern times under the no-post-eye rule, to the modern AI-based deduction of Tianyuan's one-child start under the modern tie-eye rule.

Countless people with lofty ideals and even successive explorations by machines seem to prove that Tianyuan Yizi is useful, but for the beginning, it is a big evil, which is equivalent to giving people half the first chance.

Ying Jie looked at Xu Xingyou, who was full of momentum and made a move to Tianyuan. If the opponent had the courage to make a move, there were only three possibilities.

The first type is that the opponent thinks that his chess skills are so advanced that he can still win even if he is given half the lead.

In this regard, Ying Jie said that if this is really the case, then he must call Emperor Xu Wudi, surrender, and let the world take the lead!

But if this is the case, the other party will not be so excited before, and this option will be passed.

The second is that the other party has learned the legendary unity of heaven and earth. It is not impossible. It is about the same as the possibility that this world is a novel and the other party is the protagonist.

Ying Jie took a look at the unique art in his mind and rejected the idea.

The third one is to eliminate all impossible answers and the only possibility is.

Imitation chess.

Imitation chess is when one side follows the other side in playing chess at symmetrical places on the chessboard, and finally forms a chess game in which the black and white sides are completely symmetrical. The first recorded chess score appeared in the game between Showa chess master Wu Qingyuan and Go tycoon Kitani Minoru.

Afterwards, imitating chess was opposed by all RB chess players. They believed that imitating chess was a way of playing that lacked art and disrespected the opponent. It completely ignored the craftsmanship spirit of our great craftsman empire. It was really dead!

For this kind of imitator that looks like it is playing rogue, human masters have summarized several ways to break imitation chess.

One is to make a levy, both sides levy it, and meet in the center. The first one to do it will win. One is to play chess in the middle. The pieces move close to each other. If the opponent imitates, they will surround each other. In the end, you will move first.

However, this mechanical cracking method undoubtedly plays into the hands of imitators. The essence of imitation chess is not to imitate, but to change the moves at the right time to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

Seeing Ying Jie who had not yet made a move, Xu Xingyou was not in a hurry, but was waiting with peace of mind.

This is the result of research conducted by Xu Xingyou and other chess players Yingjie in the past few days.

Because many of Ying Jie's chess games start with some unorthodox moves, which may seem like unreasonable moves, but will often cause the opponent to suffer losses later, or even lead to an inexplicable collapse.

The moves and overall view of the layout are abnormal. Xu Xingyou believes that even if he is a world champion, he will definitely lose money if he follows Ying Jie step by step.

And these fantastic tricks cannot be figured out in a day or two and the solutions can be figured out.

So Xu Xingyou thought of this imitation chess game.

Through imitation, a mirror image game is formed at the beginning. Everyone starts exactly the same, so that it is difficult for the opponent to trick you at the beginning.

Even if you are cheated, the other party will also be tricked, and everyone will enjoy the blessings together and suffer the losses together.

In the end, like an assassin lurking in the darkness, he waited for the opponent's slow hand to show off his moves, and defeated his opponent in one fell swoop in the middle game.

Because I think my mid-game calculation ability is still very strong, I can use this to maximize my strengths and avoid my weaknesses.

This is currently the method with the highest winning rate for you.

Seeing Ying Jie who had not made a move for a long time, Xu Xingyou felt that he had made the right bet. The opponent must be thinking hard about how to deal with imitation chess.

The two low-level methods of Zhengzi and Tianyuan are useless at all, because you can change your moves at any time, and these two moves are to give yourself a chance.

Ying Jie, Ying Jie, let me see how you respond. Don't let me down with the tricks I have been thinking about for so many days.

At this time, Ying Jie looked at Tianyuan Yizi in the center. Not only was he not thinking hard, he actually felt like laughing.

In the era of AI, imitation chess has long been cracked. It's okay for white to play imitation chess, but black's chess is just looking for death.

There is no need for him to think of any way to crack it, because now it is a piece of paper, and he only needs to simply make it empty and break up the chessboard so that the opponent's center piece cannot stick to the seven and a half pieces.

Thinking of this, Ying Jie, who had been holding his hand for five minutes, finally moved.

White chess piece, star in the upper right corner.

Xu Xingyou didn't hesitate at all, the star in the lower left corner.

The white chess piece has a small head, and the black chess piece has a small head.

White, hang.

Black, hang.

Xu Xingyou made the move without any hesitation, and the time spent with each hand and the clock did not exceed ten seconds.

Looking at Xu Xingyou who had been imitating behind him, Ying Jie made a simple change of tactics.

In the lower right corner, instead of simply dragging back, I chose to hit and eat.

Seeing this move, Xu Xingyou thought about it for a moment. It was not a big problem and he continued to imitate.

Looking at Xu Xingyou who kept imitating him, Ying Jie shook his head without even realizing it.

The situation has been broken up before the other party notices it. The role of the other party's Tian Yuan Yizi is getting smaller and smaller, and he is completely unable to play any role. However, the burden of the other party's purpose is constantly increasing.

If there is an AI real-time winning rate display at this time, the opponent's winning rate must be constantly declining.

Move 26, white chess, support.

After making this move, Ying Jie waited for Xu Xingyou's response.

This is the last chance for the opponent to change his tactics. If he doesn't change his tactics, he will win this round without any pressure.

What disappoints Ying Jie is that Xu Xingyou may have paid too much attention to Ying Jie's layout and must completely get through the opening stage.

Move twenty-seven, black chess, support.

Seeing this move, Ying Jie picked up a chess piece and responded.

I won this game of chess.
