Chapter 442 - Sky-high match fees

Let first is a term in Go, that is, let the opponent play the first move, because the advantage of the first move in the layout of Go is great, so it is generally in the face of opponents who are not as strong as their own before conceding first.

From 1939 to 1956, Wu Qingyuan played all the strongest neon contemporary chess players such as Minoru Kitani, Utaro Hashimoto, Kaoru Iwamoto, Kunosuke Fujisawa, Eio Sakata, and Takakawa Ge in Juban chess, becoming recognized as the first person in the world, known as "dare to let the world be the first"!

People who are familiar with the chess world know that those famous chess players have their own loud nicknames, such as Shi Buddha, Cao Yanzi, the first fifty invincible Nie Jiuduan, etc., but these nicknames are not as loud as Wu Qingyuan's "dare to let the world go first", and now Lu Qiujian uses this sentence to describe the chess power of the big chess scum, which means that it is like the master Wu Qingyuan back then, and has been ahead of all contemporary chess players by an era.

The science and technology reporters didn't know why, but the Go reporters turned the sky, and they looked back at the professional chess players who were present, Gu Li frowned and carefully recalled the changes in the chess strength of the big chess scum in the five games, at the beginning he could still find a chance to win, but in the last game, he could no longer guess the opponent's intentions.

Gu Li shook his head bitterly, acknowledging Lu Qiujian's evaluation of the big chess scum "dare to let the world go first", although he is not the number one chess player today, but there is not much difference between him and Li Shiyi, who is currently popular, since the big chess scum can abuse himself, then defeating Li Shiqi is not a problem, this title is well deserved.

"However, it has only played against Chinese chess players! It has not yet played against our Korean chess players, and it cannot be said that it is already invincible in the world!" The national pride of the Korean people exploded again, and the reporter challenged with a red face, "It can only be worthy of this title if it defeats the two Li Jiudan and Cao Jiudan!"

All the chess players looked at Lu Qiujian in unison, wondering if he would challenge the Korean chess players, and Lu Qiujian shook his head with a smile. "The big chess scum is just the preliminary task of the Xihe Project Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, we are very satisfied with the results so far, the previous games have tested its level, and there is no need to play another game in the future! ”

"Are you afraid to accept the challenge? Is there anything hidden in your previous match?" the South Korean reporter blurted out in a hurry, and before he could think about it.

"You let Li Shiqi take a look at these games and see how many victories he can achieve if he changes to my position?!" This sentence is not only a suspicion of the artificial intelligence laboratory, but also a slander against Gu Li's professional ethics, and Gu Li can't help but retort sharply.

The Korean reporter also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly got up and bowed and apologized, "Sorry, I said the wrong thing, please forgive me! But please be sure to let the big chess scum play a game with our Korean masters!"

"Every game of the big chess scum is costly, if you're willing to pay for it. "The speed of computers now can't be compared to the days of the Alpha Dog, so the running cost of the big chess scum is much greater than that of the Alpha Dog, and now that the test results have served their purpose, there is no need to waste money on this."

"There are many entrepreneurs in South Korea who love Go! I think there will be people who are willing to pay for the big chess scum!" The Korean reporter didn't seem to realize how big the money was, "Please name a number, we will definitely do it!"

"Each game will cost 150,000 yuan in electricity, 50,000 yuan in hardware maintenance, 80,000 yuan in software maintenance, 320,000 yuan in depreciation, and 60,000 yuan in labor expenses. The total is 660,000 yuan, which is not counting the achievements that can be achieved if we use these resources for other research, and if we add this, this fund will at least double again; if you are willing to bear this cost, we don't mind letting the big chess scum play a few more games!" Lu Qiujian simply calculated the running cost of the big chess scum.

This figure made the Korean reporter speechless for a long time, and it is common for Go events to provide game fees for participating riders in addition to prize money, but this game fee generally ranges from a few hundred to several thousand yuan. He calculated according to this standard, and he didn't expect the running cost of the big chess scum to be so high.

"Hey, after playing these five games, the cost of others is higher than your income last year!

On the Forbes celebrity list of China announced this year. Gu Li topped the Go world with an income of 4.7 million yuan, but his real income was far lower than this figure, and it cost him 3.3 million yuan to play five games of chess with him, which was much higher than his income last year.

"Hmm. I don't think it's a loss when you say that! I'm really playing chess with a bunch of gold bars!" Gu Li was relieved, he spent more than three million yuan on five games of chess alone, if you calculate the cost of learning chess to the present, he bought chess pieces and chessboard games and apprenticed to his teacher since he was a child. The cost of learning chess for the big chess scum is not known how many times higher than his own, and he will have a lot of returns on how much money he spends, and he can figure out how much money he loses.

"Although you lost this time, but after playing five games with it, your chess strength will definitely increase a lot! And you used to be famous in the Go circle, and not many people knew you outside; now it's different, maybe there will be advertisers coming to the door soon, it seems that you will continue to win the top position in the Go income list again this year!" Seeing that his depression was somewhat relieved, Zhou Heyang continued to enlighten him.

Counting the number of prize money in the World Series of Go, the championship prize of the Samsung Cup is 300 million won, and LG is 250 million won, which sounds like a lot, but when converted into RMB, it is more than 2 million yuan, which is not as high as the cost of five games of chess.

Seeing that the Korean reporter stopped talking, Lu Qiujian ordered the next reporter again, this time he took care of his old acquaintance Feng Hongqi, for the sake of him running from the United States to Europe, and then following himself back to China from Europe, and never causing trouble to himself, he has to take care of it!

"Hello Professor Lu, congratulations on your great achievements in a new field shortly after you returned to China. Congratulations Feng Hongqi asked his own question, "Then what I want to ask is what is the current level of artificial intelligence of the big chess scum compared with the international level?" (To be continued.) )
