Yicheng.com is very niche, but it is famous in the Go circle. Many professional Go players play chess on www.biquge.info the website, and the high-end games are comparable to the top Go competitions.

What's even more rare is that Yicheng.com brings together Go masters from China, Japan, South Korea and other places, whether it is for exchange and learning or game competitions, it is very convenient.

But in the past few days, Yicheng.com has been wailing, and a master with the nickname Master started with zero points, and scored crazy points, and many famous masters of the website were defeated in his hands.

Master played against Park Tinghuan, Xinke Bailing Cup champion Chen Yaoye, and Chinese celebrity champion Lian Xiao. The game was played in blitz with "3 times of 20 seconds", and the Master won 4-0, 2-0 and 2-0 respectively.

The day before yesterday, the Master played against the online chess player with the nickname Kiss Goodbye twice, and both won in the middle game. And Ke Jie admitted afterwards that the "kiss goodbye" was himself. In addition, the accounts of professional chess players such as Meng Tailing, Xie Erhao, and Yu Zhiying were also defeated by Master.

The "death" of the first Chinese and South Korean Go players reminded chess fans of the fear of being dominated by AlphaGo (Alpha Dog) in the online game before.

Of course, there are also people who feel that to be able to maintain a terrifying 59-game winning streak, Master is most likely artificial intelligence. After all, if it is a real person playing chess, there is also a time when there is a dilemma in thinking, and the Master's fall is very perfect every time, except for artificial intelligence accidents, everyone can't think of anyone with such a level.

The record against the sky has also blown up many hidden masters, including the chess legend Nie Weiping. The 64-year-old chess master agreed to the master's appointment, and if the chess master wins, then it will be the master's first defeat. But if Master wins, then it is 60 consecutive wins, and it also indicates the dominance of Master in the online chess world.

This is indeed a very good publicity stunt, Yicheng.com has broadcast all the normal games, and many live broadcast websites have chosen to broadcast it. As a hobby of self-cultivation, Go also has a lot of audiences in China. Even if you don't know much about Go, when you see the chess master coming out, the people who eat melons will still obediently take a small bench and wave their flags and shout on the side.

Translated into Chinese is the meaning of master, at first glance, I don't know the nickname of that foreigner, and the people who eat melons will naturally choose to support the prestigious Nie Weiping.

The host deliberately spent more than a minute introducing the chess master before he began to interpret the chess game.

Master deliberately adjusted the game time to 1 minute per side to show respect for Nie Weiping. This move made many chess fans feel that this rising star still knows how to respect the old and love the young, after all, the chess saint is old, and his thinking in rapid chess may not be able to keep up.

The host knows that many people watching the live broadcast are Go novices, so he tries to be as simple and clear as possible when interpreting the chess game, so that more people can know the situation.

Yicheng knows very well that the duel between the chess master and the rising star is topical enough, which may make more enthusiasts come to the website to play chess, and it will also make many laymen come into contact with Go and become interested. Whether it is from the website or from the perspective of the domestic Go community, this live broadcast has positive significance.

The reason why the chess master is a chess master is precisely because of the accumulation of a long time and unique experience. At the beginning of the game, Nie Weiping, who was in his sixties, played as aggressively as he did when he was young, which amazed many chess players.

But what surprised everyone even more was that the master coped with it easily and was not affected at all.

"The master is so calm and scary when he plays chess." As a guest, Ke Jie couldn't help but sigh.

The supporter took over the topic in a timely manner: "Ke Jie has also been with master before, judging from your feelings, will master also be the same artificial intelligence as Alpha Dog." ”

Ke Jie became famous at a young age, at the age of 20, he has won two world Go individual championships, ranked first in the world in Go rating points, and is already a new generation leader in the Go circles of China, Japan and South Korea.

The so-called young and frivolous, Ke Jie also dares to say. When Alpha Dog abused Lee Sedol in South Korea, he pointed out many loopholes in Lee Sedol's chess game, believing that he would never lose to Alpha Dog.

However, the appearance of Alpha Dog also made him young and understand and study artificial intelligence, so when facing the host's question, Ke Jie expounded his views.

"The master has won 59 games in a row, and each game is a chosen rapid, and the moves are so fast that a human simply can't maintain concentration for that long."

People's energy is limited, and after continuous consumption, it is easy to have a mental trance, and it is very easy to make mistakes.

"You can pay attention to the time of the master's drop, which is basically maintained at about 20 seconds, which is an error of 1 second at most." Ke Jie said conclusively, "The last time the Alpha Dog played against each other, someone was also helping Luozi, and the Alpha Dog was only responsible for calculating. So I think it's very likely that the master is also an artificial intelligence, and there is a person helping it to fall. ”

Ke Jie has studied artificial intelligence, from the initial contempt to the current attention, the mental journey is not talked about for the time being, and his conclusion does make many people agree.

The barrage of live broadcasts kept drifting by.

"I don't know which company tossed out artificial intelligence, but I know that it is a scourge to the Go world."

"Anyway, I think the master is quite powerful, and he can calculate every step, which is much more powerful than the previous Alpha Dog."

"Go is a human game, and artificial intelligence gets out of the Go circle!"

“……”

No matter how the barrage is arguing and commenting, the game between the chess saint Nie Weiping and the master continues. I don't know if it's a lack of energy, or looking for a way to break the game, Nie Weiping's time is getting longer and longer, and his chess style has become sluggish.

The situation on the chessboard began to be unfavorable to Nie Weiping, and his number of white pieces gradually lagged behind the black pieces.

Whether it is encouraged by the onlookers or abused, it is a fact that the chess saint is in decline, and the host can only secretly help to clear his name.

In the end, the game was played to 254 hands, and Nie Weiping, who was holding white, lost with a disadvantage of 7 and a half eyes.

The host deliberately connected the video of the chess master, and Nie Weiping, who was in his sixties, looked a little old.

Nie Weiping didn't find a few excuses for his loss, but pointed out a few inadvertent loopholes of his own, which led to the final failure.

"We are too small in front of artificial intelligence, and humans are no longer able to do it, but we can learn from it."

Obviously, Nie Weiping also believes that Master is an artificial intelligence, and he couldn't help but sigh at the end of the interview.

After the remote interview with the chess master, the host shifted the topic to the guest Ke Jie.

"Since the advent of Alpha Dog, I have studied Go software for more than half a year, and I have done countless theoretical and practical studies to find out what the strength of the computer is. Tossing and turning when I sleep at night, many sleepless nights. ”

Ke Jie said bitterly: "Human beings have evolved in actual combat for thousands of years, but the computer tells us that all human beings are wrong...... I don't think there is even a single person who has touched the edge of the truth of Go. ”

The host didn't expect the young Ke Jie to be so pessimistic, and he didn't know how to continue the topic for a while.

The purpose of the live broadcast of this matchup is to attract more people to fall in love with Go, not to scare away potential enthusiasts.

Just when the host didn't know how to answer, the director's voice came from the headset.

"Someone challenged the master, and more than 40 consecutive wins. If the master agrees to play, then broadcast them live. You drag the live broadcast for a while......"

……

In Google's Beijing Lab, a computer is simulating the game just now, and there are many experimenters next to it recording various data.

"Dr. Huang, in the chess game just now, the master's calculation and logic ability reached 82% of the design, which is very close to our ideal state." A research institute excitedly reports to the project's supervisor.

As many chess players guess, the Master is indeed an artificial intelligence. It is an upgraded version of AlphaGo, but the moves are more unrestrained, overturning the stereotype often taken by many human chess players, and it belongs to pure artificial intelligence.

As the leader of the artificial intelligence project team of Google Beijing Lab, Huang Shijie is still very satisfied with the final results.

"Report the relevant experimental data to the headquarters, and then ask the master to analyze the previous games to see what insights it has seen." Huang Shijie said.

AlphaGo has played against many chess players before, and although the results are very brilliant, and they also defeated Lee Sedol, the first person in the Han Kingdom, but the flaws are also very obvious. After losing in a row, Lee Sedol changed his style of chess and saved a little face by making it difficult for Alpha Dog to calculate through meaningless moves.

As an upgraded version of the master, it already has the ability to analyze the behavior of the opponent and make logical judgments on the fall, so it can achieve 60 consecutive victories and cut down the masters of China, Japan and South Korea.

"Dr. Huang, someone has asked us to fight!" The researcher in charge of the execution said incredulously.

Master's previous 60 consecutive victories were not opponents such as idlers, everyone had a head and face in the Go world, and the last game was the long-famous chess saint Nie Weiping. With such a glorious record, there are still people who don't have a long eye to challenge?

There are also restrictions on the game settings, only players of the same or adjacent level can play with each other, since someone wants to play with the master, then his winning rate and strength should be about the same as the master.

Dr. Huang glanced at the record of users with the nickname "ONE" and found that the account was also registered in two days, and it also had more than 50 consecutive wins.

"Have you seen this account before?" Huang Shijie was quite surprised by the winning rate of his opponent.

Master is an artificial intelligence, and it is expected that he can win 60 consecutive games. But ONE actually won more than 50 consecutive games in two days, what the hell is this?

"I haven't seen it."

"I didn't have that nickname before."

The surrounding researchers shook their heads.

In order to make the master better adapt to the chess game, the researcher has a good understanding of various masters in China, Japan and South Korea, especially the high-end players on the Yicheng website, and has a detailed record. But they've never heard of ONE, and it's as if something spawned out of nowhere.
