Go Legend

   Chapter 41 Inflection Point

  The time came to September 2000. Before I knew it, Li Xiangping had been in the capital for nearly half a month.

"boring!"

   This afternoon, staying at Li Yuanhu's mansion, Li Xiangping pretended to sigh.

   In Li Xiangping's previous life, he did not actually come to the capital at this time, but had been attending middle school in his hometown, Ganyuan Province. I originally thought that after the re-examination at the hospital this time, I should go back to school, but I didn't expect that it has been more than 10 days since the school started, but the old man of his own has no intention of letting him go back.

Now, of course, Li Xiangping also understands the meaning of his old man leaving him, because just two days ago, the old man asked himself euphemistically if he would like to continue to take the path of professional Go, and if so, then This year, I will just stay in the capital and find a dojo to learn chess, and I am ready to hit the fixed stage competition again next year.

   And Li Yuanhu also told him that due to the excellent performance of "Exquisite Art", his chess has attracted the attention of Lao Nie. Through the matchmaking of Lao Cai and others, Lao Nie even intends to accept him as his inner disciple.

   must admit that this is a great temptation! Who is that old Nie? One of the "Three Levels of the Capital", this year is as famous as the future "586". If he can become his inner disciple, it will not only mean that he can get along very well in the Go world, but even if he does not play chess in the future, it will be very beneficial to engage in other industries.

And everyone in the Go world knows that Lao Nie never accepts non-professional players as his disciples, because he has said it very early: to complete the leap from an amateur to a professional player by one person is still in the category of basic Go skills. This kind of thing is the same as anyone who learns it, and his strength lies in the overall situation of Go and his understanding of Go. Therefore, if he wants to be his inner disciple, it is best for those who already have the professional level of 4th or 5th dan or above, and are very good at it. A potential young chess player, so that I can learn something from him.

   And now, he is willing to make an exception for Li Xiangping, which is of course a good thing that others can't ask for.

   But despite the huge temptation, after Li Xiangping struggled for a whole day, he still told his old man the truth: he is not going to take the professional Go path in his life.

   Li Xiangping's entanglement is of course easy to understand. After all, he has been playing chess since elementary school. Although he is not a chess fan like "Brother Niu" of the National Junior Team, he still has feelings for Go. In addition, when I was traveling this time, the "plug-in" I brought with me was actually an ancient chess saint, so Li Xiangping couldn't help thinking too much: whether it was my own time travel, I was destined to let myself come. How about playing chess?

   It was these two reasons that made Li Xiangping correct for a whole day.

   Compared with the entanglement, the reason why Li Xiangping refused is very simple: of course, it is all because of the later generations of Go AI.

   Having seen the power of Go AI and knowing how terrifying it is, Li Xiangping certainly thinks that being a professional chess player is not very interesting.

   Because in Li Xiangping's view, it is almost impossible for humans to defeat Go AI.

Although when Li Xiangping passed through, the Go AI did not seem to be perfect. The third-generation dog "Afa Yuan", representing the highest level of Go AI, still lost 19 games to the second-generation dog "Master" in 200 test games. So what? "Second-generation dogs" have been able to easily hang and beat humans, and the words of the third-generation dogs'

Although    has not been formally tested, Li Xiangping believes that it may not be enough for a human being to put two sons in front of it, and maybe only three sons are the only way to win.

  Li Xiangping has officially learned Go. Of course he knows that the game of chess is difficult. It is actually not easy for ordinary people to reach the top amateur level like him, let alone the top level of the profession.

However, the problem now is that even if you spend your whole life reaching a very high level, such as reaching the highest level of human beings, you will finally find that there are rows of foreign dogs waiting for you in front of you. You still need to be in front of these machines. Lay out 2 to 3 pieces.

   Then such a thing, of course, is boring to think about.

  Li Xiangping thinks that he is not a fool like Don Quixote. He has no interest in challenging the big windmill. It is for this reason that he is not ready to take the path of professional Go.

   But the interesting thing, although he expressed to his old man that he did not want to be a professional chess player, but he was a little vague when he expressed it. And his ambiguity is of course not because of anything else, but mainly because he has no reason.

It is completely possible to imagine the current situation of Li Xiangping. Without saying that he is a transmigrator, he is a 13-year-old rushing dan. He is only one game away from this year's dan promotion. He also made troubles on the Internet, and defeated several professional masters one after another, so his father was enthusiastic to manage various relationships, help him create various conditions, and prepare him to continue on this road.

   But this child suddenly told his father that he was not going to take this road, so what reason should the child use?

   No matter what reason others will use, Li Xiangping himself thinks that this reason is actually very difficult to find. And when he told his old man at the time, he didn't actually find any reason. Since there was no reason, of course it could only be vague.

   It was precisely because of Li Xiangping's ambiguity at the time that he was bored now.

The reason for    is very simple. Although he can't tell the reason himself, it does not prevent others from being able to make up the reason.

For example, Li Yuanhu, an old man from his family, got inspiration from that **** "escape self-compulsion syncope". He thinks that Li Xiangping still has a shadow on the failure of this year's fixed stage, at least he has not turned around yet. , that's why he said that he didn't want to continue learning chess.”

   It must be mentioned that this is not Li Xiangping's guess, but just the night before, Li Xiangping overheard his old man talking to his grandparents and Li Yuanhu said this to the two old people.

And after he finished talking like this, of course Li Xiangping can only be bored for a while, he doesn't have to go back to his hometown, and he doesn't have to go to school for the time being. According to the wishes of the elders in the family, he can only stay in the capital first and "rest in peace". "Let's talk for a while.

   "Xiangping, since you're bored, why don't you play chess online?"

   "Oh, Brother Ding'an, it's not really interesting to play chess online every day."

Hearing Lao Shi talking to himself, Li Xiang said in his heart that it is mainly because you are incompetent, and you are not the invincible cheater like others. If you are an invincible cheater, I will definitely not have to worry about it, I will definitely be elated Go to be Lao Nie's inner disciple.

   It’s a pity that you are not. Although you have the qualities of a “chess master”, in modern times, you are at best a first-class master for the time being. I guess you have a very small chance of winning against the super-first class.

Even if the two of us join forces, after a period of cultivation, we may be able to reach the top level of human beings and win a few human world championships or something. However, from the current situation, I really don’t see the possibility of us challenging the machine. This is me. Reasons for not wanting to go this route.

   Although he said, "It's no fun to play chess every day", but now it's really boring. After hearing Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping turned on the computer.

   When he turned on his computer and saw the live broadcast of the game on the website, Li Xiangping remembered that today is the day of the first game of the "LG Cup" final.

   "Hehe Ding'an brother, let's not play chess today, let's watch the finals of the World Series. You need to know that these two lost to us some time ago."

   "Hehe, okay, that little friend Xiangping thinks who will win in this competition between the two of them?"

Li Xiangping laughed: "What do you need me to think there, you need to know that I am from 18 years later, this final was won by a Chinese chess player, the result of Wufan chess was 3 to 1, and now I am full of tears in retrospect. Ah, this championship won by Yu Jiuduan is the first time that my Chinese chess player won it after a lapse of 5 years, and it is only the third one."

"Oh."

   The "LG Cup" finals this time are all consecutive, so for more than a week, Li Xiangping is mainly paying attention to this game.

   After watching the first 2 games, Li Xiangping didn't think there was anything wrong, because the two sides were tied 1 to 1, which was the same as in real history.

   But in the third game, Li Xiangping was dumbfounded, because this game was won by Liu Changhe.

   And in the 4th game, Li Xiangping was not dumbfounded, he was completely dumbfounded. Because this game of chess was not only won by Liu Changhe, but he also resorted to a variation of "Yi Gai" in the game.           龀隽雽雽雽雲. Male fight �

   "What's the situation"

   After watching the game, Li Xiangping was dazed there.
