213 Chess Grandmaster's Invitation
Time is like a rolling wheel, moving inexorably.
On Friday, April 1, 2016, an American national chess grandmaster, ranked seventh in the field of chess, officially invited Zhao Ya to play on the Internet, hoping to face Zhao Ya in the next game of chess.
Zhao Ya responded with three words that night, "You are looking for abuse." ”
Zhao Ya's reply immediately caused a great shock in the entire chess world.
Although Zhao Ya is known as a female chess god, she has reached the state of transcendent sainthood, and no one dares to challenge her authority in the field of Go.
But Zhao Ya is a little-known small role in other chess fields.
In fact, the reason why the chess grandmaster challenged Zhao Ya was that in mid-March, Zhao Ya published a video focusing on the characteristics of Go as the world's number one chess game, and popularized the science of people around the world who do not know Go in 16 languages.
In the process of popularizing science, he specifically compared chess and said that the two are very different, Zhao Ya said that because chess can be exhaustive, it only includes reasoning and calculation, and there is no room for spiritual display at all.
In addition to the rules that are rules, the game of chess, even if it was an ordinary computer a few decades ago, can be no worse than a human game.
This kind of speech is not gibberish, in the 90s of the last century, a vintage computer Deep Blue, once defeated a chess master.
But when these words came out of Zhao Ya's mouth, it was undoubtedly slandering the status of the national elephant, and stepping on the national elephant in order to improve the status of Go, even if the average chess player thought so in his heart, he would not say it.
But Zhao Ya didn't care so much, she really finished speaking mercilessly, which immediately made many people in the national elephant world jump to their feet.
On that day, many people wanted to play with Zhao Ya in the field of national chess, so that this legend in the Go world would know that chess is not such a simple thing.
However, these people are not well-known people, and naturally they have no authority to speak, and they can't even attract the attention of many people, and Zhao Ya naturally won't respond.
That is, on April 1, the American chess master William Mousse issued an invitation to challenge, and after receiving it, Zhao Ya immediately replied: "You are looking for abuse." ”
William Mousse is also a legend, now only thirty-four years old, he has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and at the age of sixteen he won the title of world chess master.
Then, after graduating from college, he started from scratch and after 12 years of struggle, he has become a billionaire.
He even started working as a director, made two blockbuster films, and as a successful person, his chess level did not fall behind, and he is currently the seventh supermaster in the world.
If someone else invited to fight like this, it would definitely not arouse Zhao Ya's interest, but this William Mousse is also a celebrity, and playing against a celebrity is definitely worth the ticket price.
When Zhao Ya responded, it was William Mousse's turn to be embarrassed.
In addition to being a little unaccustomed to Zhao Ya's admiration for Go and belittling chess, his invitation to fight was more of an April Fool's Day joke.
After all, his identity is here, and many people on the Internet have invited Zhao Ya to fight, but there is no response at all.
And he invited him to fight like this, just to have a good time, for him, Zhao Ya is also a little girl who is not very sensible, even if she is a Go genius and the world's first in the level of Go, the arrogant tone in her video makes people feel immature enough.
Of course, William Mousse still admires Zhao Ya very much, a fourteen-year-old girl who has reached an unprecedented situation in the field of Go, which is really admirable.
Although he doesn't know much about Go, he does know that Go is definitely more complex than chess, and that chess can't be compared to Go at all based on the fact that artificial intelligence can't defeat humans now.
It's one thing to know, as a chess grandmaster, he is absolutely unwilling to admit that he is not as good as someone else's.
To put it simply, chess is simpler than Go, but you Zhao Ya is a chess god in Go, and I'm afraid you are a rookie in chess.
But Zhao Ya's murderous reply made William Mousse unable to get off the stage, and he didn't even have a chance to say that he was an April Fool's Day joke.
Now there is only one choice, and that is to fight.
The two talked in the air and set the game to April 10 in the capital of Huaguo.
William Mousse is just going to the capital of China to find inspiration for his next film and television work.
This time, by the way, I will meet Zhao Ya, the female chess god of China.
In the eyes of others, Zhao Ya is a little too arrogant, and the chances of winning are not big, after all, Go and chess are not fields, although the calculation methods are similar, but there are still many different routines and changes in them.
But in the eyes of real experts, Zhao Ya's chances of winning are still very good, unless she is too confident and doesn't understand the routines of chess at all, then she can't blame others for losing.
William Mousse himself is still very confident in himself, after all, as a chess grandmaster, if even a layman is afraid, then he does not have to participate in any competitions.
But he was not sure to win against Zhao Ya, just with his understanding of Zhao Ya, who would dare to say that this genius girl couldn't play chess?
Although she has never played in the chess field again, no one knows her chess level.
Just with Zhao Ya's three words full of provocation and confidence, "You are looking for abuse", it is enough to make people suspect that Zhao Ya is deeply hidden.
Of course, when translated into English, it is relatively peaceful, which roughly means "you are doomed".
If Zhao Ya is just an ordinary master, this sentence may just be a bluff, but Zhao Ya, as an undefeated super master in the Go world, the meaning of her sentence is nothing more than to say that chess is simpler for me.
In fact, Zhao Ya really has a certain study of chess, and after becoming the first person to play Go in the second life, he specialized in a variety of chess games in order to improve his chess skills again.
Not only chess, Chinese chess, Japanese shogi, but also backgammon, beast chess, such simple chess games, have also been studied.
Of course, Zhao Ya's research results have not been published, but her mastery of these chess games is definitely no worse than that of any chess master.
Although Zhao Ya has never played these chess games with anyone in this life, it is easier and simpler for her to play this kind of chess.
If the change of Go is the sea, then the change of chess is a drop of water.
already has the power of the sea, so in the face of a drop of water, how can Zhao Ya have no chance of winning.
The only thing worth considering is that there are too few changes in chess, and there is too much possibility of a draw, and once the opponent does not make any mistakes in all the responses, then there is only one way to draw.
Of course, Zhao Ya is still confident that she will make mistakes in the limited time, so she dares to directly say the words "you are looking for abuse".
