Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the end of the 6th Online Chess God Tournament, Zhao Yajun officially announced his retirement.

And Ye Xiaoya can't lurk, and the Go world has become a paradise for newcomers.

The opening of the 7th Online Chess God Tournament attracted the attention of many chess fans, but unfortunately, until the end of the game, there was no news of Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya.

It seems that the two of them have really quit the Go circle and no longer touch Go.

At this moment, in an Internet café, a young man dressed slightly scruffily is playing a stand-alone game.

Two fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers next to him were playing chess on the Internet.

"Go here, you play stinky chess, this point of selection is not good at all." The teenager standing in the back said.

"Hurry up and break it, or you won't have a chance." The young man in the back said, "Fool, have you made a mistake, how can you grow a hand?" ”

"Hey, young man, don't be in a hurry, watch the chess and be silent." The scruffy youth said to the boy who was commanding behind.

"Who are you, I'm helping him play Go, do you know what Go is?" The young man glanced at the young man and continued to command: "Damn, I said that there is a problem with the selection point, and you still have to go." ”

The young man smiled slightly, looked at the 5D account on the orange Go on the screen, and said lightly: "First two ways to support one, and then twist it." ”

"Hey, you can also play Go?" The mouthy young man behind him looked at the young man curiously.

"Yes, Go is fun, but it's not the whole of life." This young man who sighed was none other than Zhao Yajun, who had been retired for more than a year.

It used to be cold in high places, but now it's time to feel life.

Of course, it can also be said that now he has degenerated, has no pursuit, and has lost the glory of the chess king in the past.

"Who would think of Go as the whole of life?" The boy scoffed.

"yes, who would be that stupid?" Zhao Yajun smiled faintly, he used to regard Go as the whole of his life, and it was also the ultimate goal of his life, and now he has the ability to enter the 6th level of chess, but he feels that Go is not the whole of life.

This feeling of sudden loss of direction and self-contradiction is really difficult to explain.

I took a look at the stand-alone game I was playing again, Three Kingdoms X, which I was tired of playing in the first life, and now I'm so bored that I sit in an Internet café and play it.

"Should I go find a girlfriend?" Zhao Yajun got up from his seat and took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms.

He has been in contact with this thing since half a year ago, and although he is not addicted to smoking, he can smoke one once in a while, so that he can pass some boring time.

"Life......" Zhao Yajun walked out of the Internet café and looked at the blue sky outside, but the haze in his heart still lingered.

It's been a year, and he still can't face the defeat of that game, although he was disturbed by the off-board moves in that game and couldn't concentrate on the game, but he actually had the opportunity to adjust his state and discover the opponent's conspiracy.

The most uncomfortable thing is to try to win a game that you want to win and win at the same time, but you lose it carelessly.

walked all the way back to the house he rented, and he didn't contact anyone for more than half a year, just to report to his family every month that he was safe, and Zhao Yajun lived alone like a lonely ghost.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoya is very busy.

Her latest research results are online, and as the youngest female PhD in China, her artificial intelligence has been widely recognized and promoted.

Some artificial intelligence programs have begun to be put into use, and for more than a year, Ye Xiaoya has devoted herself to research, so that artificial intelligence has been improved more comprehensively.

Ye Xiaoya single-handedly accelerated the research process of artificial intelligence by ten years.

"Dr. Ye, what are your plans after the AI platform is launched this time?" A female reporter who was qualified to cover the interview asked.

"The next step is to make AI stronger."

"As we all know, Dr. Ye, you are known as a female chess god in the field of Go, I wonder if you still have the idea of setting foot in the field of Go again?"

"Speaking of Go, I want to tell you a good news, an artificial intelligence Go program has come out, and friends who like Go can try it."

"Did you develop it, Dr. Ye?"

"Suffice it to say, of course, Master Zhou Yangfan has also helped a lot."

Three days after the interview, Orange Go announced the opening of a new area of artificial intelligence battles, where every player can challenge artificial intelligence programs of different difficulty.

Many people are curious about the AI Go program, but more people say that the level of AI Go is probably not much better.

However, over the course of a week, players who chose to play higher than the "specific" difficulty found that they had no chance of winning at all.

On top of the specifics, there are also sitting photos, each difficulty has 10 levels, but the last difficulty is gray, according to the rules, you must beat the difficulty of sitting photos, in order to challenge the gods.

From the lowest level of the first level of clumsiness, all the way up to the highest level of the 10th level, players can choose any difficulty to play, and if they win, they will get the corresponding title.

At first, professional chess players who thought they were at a high level chose to sit on the 10th level, but they lost badly, and later they found out that they were not even opponents at the specific 1st level.

Even Jin Yiming, who recently won the world chess championship, admitted that he played eight games at the 9th level of Tongyou and won one game.

Such a pit of artificial intelligence Go has discouraged masters, but it has become a blessing for enthusiasts, because they can quickly find their opponents with equal chess strength.

Two months later, the rank mode of Orange Go was gradually replaced by the title of Shou Clumsy 1st Order, Ruo Yu 2nd Order.

But so far, no one has been able to impact the specific title, the strongest is the 10th level of Tongyou, no matter how high it is, there will be no more.

Time flies, and the spring of 2012 has arrived.

Rumors of the end of the world have also been buzzing on the Internet with the boom of Mayan prophecy.

But with the popularity of artificial intelligence programs in China, there is not much room for this kind of negative energy news.

Orange Go suddenly broke a major news, a new registered member of the Go ID "who came over" easily defeated the specific 10th level and began to hit the 1st level.

After the completion of the open test in the current three months, the seat photo above level 1 will also turn gray, and only after winning the specific level 10 will you be eligible to challenge the seat photo.

"Who is this person? So strong? It's time to hit the seat. ”

"I guess it's Zhao Yajun, is he out of the mountain again?"

"It should be a chess demon, in the past two years, I don't know where he hid and cried."

"It may not be Zhao Yajun, there are talented people in the country, maybe after Zhao Yajun and Ye Xiaoya, a new prodigy will be born."

"Come over, such an obvious name, who else can there be besides Zhao Yajun?"
