In the dark and cold tent in the square area, the fluorescent fluorescence of the laptop screen is reflected on the face of a young man with a focused expression. Ed, who was in a complicated mood, was wearing a sweater that Ah Rong had knitted for herself, and wanted to calm down his fluctuating emotions, both worried and inexplicably irritable.

The only way to solve the problem is Go. Beer, of course.

"Goodong" took a big sip of beer, Ed tapped lightly tapped on the keyboard, and the dark horse "Ice Language" in the Go world once again logged on the long-lost Go online game website, Yihai.com.

The reason why he named his screen name "Yubing" has the deep meaning of charity. This source comes from "Zhuangzi Qiushui": "Summer insects can't talk to the ice, but to the time." ”

It means that you can't talk about ice with insects that grow in summer, which is a metaphor for time and short-sightedness. This shows the ambition of Edward.

His fragmentary memory leap has spanned the time span from Adam's 82nd generation to his 94th generation, which has already exceeded 10,000 years! The experience and experience in it are completely incomparable to those of modern times.

In addition, the huge amount of information in the Book of Three Changes obtained by Xiangtanzi continued to explode in the brain, and all the memories and information were dreamlike and tangled, making Ed's brain more and more unable to distinguish between reality and his own dreams. At this time, he inexplicably became obsessed with Go.

Getting back to the point, relying on Ed's astonishing record of winning all 45 previous battles, he finally came to the rank competition. And this kind of achievement, before that, only a few people were able to do it.

Ed's devastating power like this naturally attracted many enthusiastic fans. At the same time, it seems to have attracted the attention of many people. Everyone speculates whether it is another AI dark horse such as DeepZenGo, version 5.0 of AlphaGo, etc., otherwise with the ability of human chess players, how can they create such results?

From the 1st to the 4th dan, although there are only 4 steps, each of them is far more difficult than the first stage combined. In the last 20 rounds, the rules require 18 wins and 2 losses in 20 games, with a 90% win rate to move up 2 sets. 14 wins and 6 defeats in 20 games, with a win rate of 70% to increase by 1 stage.

In the final third stage, the battle was upgraded from 5 dan to 9 dan battles, and in the last 20 rounds, 20 wins and 0 losses in 20 battles must be achieved, and the winning rate was 100% up to 2 dans. 15 wins and 5 losses in 20 games, with a win rate of 75% to rise by 1 stage.

Ed uses the latest game software features to open 5 battle windows at the same time! At this time, the Chinese and foreign chess friends who were watching on the Internet were all enthusiastic and excited.

It turns out that the newly developed features of this website are for those who are capable and confident.

Multiplayer games, simply put, are one person playing against multiple people at the same time! One person at the same time and multiple people at the same time!

Go is different from Xiangqi in that there are 361 positions on a 19x19 board, and each position can be placed separately with black, white, or left blank, and theoretically all possible combinations are 3^361.

However, according to the rules of Go, not all positions can be legally landed, and in Go terminology, the position without qi cannot be landed. So how many are left after excluding these illegal chess games?

Researchers at Princeton have now accomplished this feat by giving the exact legal number of 19x19 square Go: 208168199381979984699478633344862770286522453884530548425639456820927419612738015378525648451698519643907259916015628128546089888314427129715319317557736620397247064840935

Let's give it a few more lines:

Don't count, it's a total of 171 digits!! It is approximately equal to 2.08x10^170. The researchers also open-sourced the code, recommending a server with 15TB of hard disk space, 8-16 core processors, and 192GB of RAM to run for months!

Prior to this, the best human chess player had only opened three game windows at the same time.

It is conceivable that the people who eat melons either think that this is a madman, or "it" is an AI. Anyway, there's a lot to watch, so why not? It's all human nature.

It may not be lively enough, but today's day is truly special. Because soon, to everyone's surprise, there is one more person who opened 5 game windows at the same time today!
