The time finally came to 2016, just after the Spring Festival of 2016, the five-way chess of Alpha Dog and Li Shishi officially began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There has never been a game of Go that has attracted so much attention, and no other game has been so influential.

Needless to say, within the Go world, "Yicheng Net", "Wild Fox", "Go TV"... Even many non-professional Go video sites broadcast the game live.

Because it coincided with the "Two Sessions", although the imperial court station did not broadcast the game live, the news of the man-machine war appeared many times in the important news time periods such as "30 noon" and "news broadcast".

Even when the prime minister "answered reporters' questions" after making the "government work report," he would inevitably encounter reporters asking questions about the man-machine war.

"Whoever wins, we can see it as a victory for humanity."

On TV, Li Xiaoqiang saw the prime minister answering like this. I must admit that there is nothing wrong with such an answer, but as a professional chess player, as a person who loves Go deeply, Li Xiaoqiang always has a little bad feeling in his heart.

If there is an adjective to describe this man-machine war, then the most appropriate keyword should be:

Subversion!

For ordinary people, this game subverts everyone's understanding, so for professional chess players, especially professional chess players like Li Xiaoqiang, this game subverts faith.

Alpha Dog was 1-0 ahead of Li Shishi, and everyone only expressed surprise;

Alpha Dog led Li Shi 2-0, and everyone began to be shocked;

Alpha Dog is 3-0 ahead of Li Shishi, and many people, including Li Xiaoqiang, are already a little numb;

In the 4th game, Li Shishi pulled back a game beautifully, and Li Xiaoqiang, like many ordinary chess fans, cheered and was inexplicably excited.

It's a pity that in the 5th game, a cold victory, Alpha Dog completely completed this subversion with a cold victory.

Shortly after the end of the 5th game, Li Xiaoqiang received a call from Nie Whirlwind:

"Xiaoqiang, did you watch the game just now?"

"Needless to say, how can anyone not watch this game now."

"Did you notice that change in the opening? Under that change, many people thought that Xiao Li was beneficial at first, but after I analyzed it by hand, I found that after the change was completed, it was obviously a lot cheaper for the alpha dog. Tsk, awesome! This alpha dog is too powerful, from the overall point of view, this teacher's overall view is fifteen paragraphs, too much ahead of humans... ”

"Teacher?"

A smile hung on the corner of Li Xiaoqiang's mouth. It can be said that Lao Nie's call is very representative, the impact of the alpha dog on professional chess players, and the subversion it brings, is mainly concentrated in this place.

It is often said that there are two aspects of the game of Go: "virtual" and "real", "overall situation", "realm" and so on are considered to be the "virtual" aspects of Go, while "calculating the road" and "official" are considered to be "real" things in Go.

Before this man-machine war, based on everyone's common sense, it was believed that if artificial intelligence wanted to compete with humans, it should have an advantage in the "real" aspect. Humans make mistakes, but machines can't, so if a machine wants to defeat humans, it must work "not making mistakes". On the contrary, if human beings want to defeat machines, they must do enough in the "virtual" aspect.

But this time the competition between Xiao Li and Alpha Dog completely subverted everyone's understanding. In terms of "reality", there are still many flaws in this machine, such as the only game that Xiao Li won, although when commenting, Gu Dali called the chess hand that Xiao Li won "one of the gods". But really, can such a move be called a "god hand"? Li Xiaoqiang thinks that he is not qualified at all.

First of all, that chess hand is not valid, if the alpha dog is correct at that time, Xiao Li will immediately stand up, and secondly, the chess hand is not too complicated, so to speak, at that time, even if it is an ordinary professional chess player to play with Xiao Li, Xiao Li's method is very rare.

But it was such a "god hand" that did not establish a step, allowing Xiao Li to win the only game in the entire series. It can be said that that game of chess, while saving a trace of face for human beings, also let everyone see that the alpha dog still has flaws in the "real" aspect.

So in this series, how did Alpha Dog beat Li Shishi? What Lao Nie said on the phone is the most typical.

Alpha Dog relies on the advantage of "virtuality", and its victory over Li Shishi is completely crushing the overall situation and realm!

Another interesting thing that happened during the tournament was that as the tournament progressed, many players' attitudes towards AI were fundamentally changing. From the initial disapproval, then slowly surprised, shocked, and finally turned into a hardcore "dog fan".

Among them, the most obvious change in attitude, and the most positive attitude of "Quite a dog" happened to be Nie Whirlwind, who had just called Nie Whirlwind.

Why is it a Nie whirlwind? Why not someone else? Li Xiaoqiang thinks this is not difficult to explain. Who is Old Nie? That was once known as "the first fifty steps of the world's invincible" character, he was originally known for the "overall situation" and "realm", so when others still have no feelings about the Alpha dog's moves, only Lao Nie has the most feelings.

It's a feeling of finding a soulmate!

That's why his attitude will change most obviously, which is why he has so much respect for Alpha Dog.

For example, now, even "Teacher A" has run out...

This is the end of the five-game chess battle between Alpha Dog and Li Shishi. Because of the victory of the alpha dog, the impact of this game on everyone is far from over.

In the following period, all walks of life and various personalities expressed their opinions on this matter. Words such as "man-machine war" and "artificial intelligence to conquer Go" have long occupied the major hot search lists.

Among them, the Go world, which is the center of the eye of the storm, is naturally the first to bear the brunt, and almost all professional chess players are talking about alpha dogs, analyzing alpha dogs, and studying alpha dogs. All the well-known and non-well-known professional chess players have expressed their positions, everyone is arguing about the alpha dog, and everyone has carried out continuous and in-depth research on the alpha dog...

During this period, the Go world obviously formed two camps, "Dog Black" and "Dog Blow", but with the passage of time, with the deepening of research, the "Dog Blow" lineup obviously gained the upper hand, and "Quite Dog" became the mainstream of the professional Go world.

Of course, during this period, some people also noticed that as the former king of the world chess world and the No. 1 master in the Go world in the past 20 years, Li Xiaoqiang has never expressed his own opinions.

It's not that no one wants to ask Li Xiaoqiang's opinion, on the contrary, Li Xiaoqiang's opinion is the most interesting for all chess fans, if you send a questionnaire at this time: who do you want to hear the most to comment on Alpha Dog? Li Xiaoqiang's name can definitely be ranked in the top 3.

It's a pity that Li Xiaoqiang still didn't say a word, even if he was forced to be anxious by reporter Zhang Da and other acquaintances, Li Xiaoqiang responded with a smile:

"Wait, I still have a lot of things to figure out, when I figure it out completely, when I have the right opportunity, I'll tell you what I think...

Li Xiaoqiang refused to express his position, which does not mean that this matter has stopped, in fact, the heat of this matter has not diminished, and it has become more and more intense. Especially among them, all kinds of fake news emerge from time to time;

“。。。 According to reliable sources, the second season of the man-machine war is about to be staged, and Ke Jie, the first person in the chess world today, will challenge the alpha dog... ”

It has been confirmed by all parties that it is fake.

“。。。 According to reliable sources, this time it is really reliable news, Li Xiaoqiang expressed dissatisfaction with the alpha dog, and the Chinese Chess Academy and Google are conducting secret consultations on the battle of Li Xiaoqiang VS alpha dog... ”

It has been confirmed by many parties that this news is also fake.

Just when all kinds of fake news were flying all over the sky, the time came to July 2016.

By this time, the popularity of artificial intelligence and alpha dogs was still unabated. Because during this period, Google announced more information, such as the game of Alpha Dog's "left and right fighting", which made everyone know more about it. At the same time, because Google published relevant papers in the journal "Nature", this has caused all kinds of foreign dogs and local dogs to pop up from time to time on major Go websites.

On this day, Li Xiaoqiang came to the China Chess Academy and came to the "Go TV" studio on the 4th floor of the Chess Academy.

"Dream dreams."

"Ahh Mr. Li. ”

"Can I do a show with you?"

"Do ... Do shows? What program? ”

"A show about the alpha dog."

"Ahh

Dream Dream is overjoyed:

"Of course ... Welcome, welcome... ”
