18 The way of chess is in the hearts of people

"This kid... How can you carry a chessboard with you? Although Lu Xiaoyu was extremely reluctant in his heart. But she had to fulfill the child's "dream".

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the teacher on the stage moved the table, and Lu Xiaoyu also learned from them that this child had actually been taking chess extracurricular tutoring classes all along.

Suspicious, she had countless conjectures at the first moment she got the news.

Chess? What does this old-fashioned, backward, and even vulgar-sounding chess game have to do with backgammon? Should you win or lose? If you lose, is it a disguised advertisement for the chess agency behind the girl?

Suspicious, she looked at the girl and carefully set up the Go board, and she suddenly decided that she had to win.

Lu Xiaoyu is a master of backgammon, she used to learn backgammon when she was young, and she also had an amateur rank, although she has not played for many years, but there are some things that will never betray you.

For example, the knowledge you have studied seriously, and the muscle memory that you have accumulated over the years of sweat.

Gomoku doesn't look at it, it sounds like chess, and you can't get up to the hall of elegance. In fact, in reality, there is also a world-class game called the "World Lianzhu Championship", which is the world's highest-level individual five-in-a-row competition, and in this competition, countless backgammon masters have created their own genre.

One of the most famous and easy-to-learn genres is the seven-step nirvana stream.

This school pays attention to defending instead of attacking, it will not take the initiative to "block" other people's three sons, but let others take the initiative to "block" its three sons. Of course, this genre is also similar to the "ten-move lore" in chess. It is a chess game that specializes in killing novices.

Looking at Dongdong, who didn't even understand the rules of the four hands, like a novice in backgammon, Lu Xiaoyu secretly decided to use seven moves to "realize" Dongdong's "dream".

Without hesitation, she took the sunspot represented by the first move, and then landed on the chessboard. Dongdong looked at Bai Zi, who had no choice, she took Bai Zi helplessly and blocked Bai Zi above Lu Xiaoyu Heizi.

After two hands, Lu Xiaoyu took the lead in connecting the three sons, looking at these two chess eyes that can directly determine the outcome of the game, Dongdong habitually chose to block the chess eyes above.

Sometimes I have to say that habit is the key to winning or losing, especially in all chess sports, experienced people will definitely use ordinary people's habits to get out of the decisive game, and Lu Xiaoyu is the same.

She followed with two backhands and connected the sunspots into a "T" shape, while looking at Dongdong, she pieced left and west to block all the chess eyes that Lu Xiaoyu could connect into "four", which eventually caused Dongdong in the back hand to miss the opportunity and lose the game after two hands.

This victory made the unhappiness in Lu Xiaoyu's heart disappear, and because of this backgammon victory, Lu Xiaoyu's eyes looked at Dongdong a lot softer. Because she really saw that Dongdong's dream just now was to go to the next game of backgammon.

Dongdong obediently put away the chessboard and stepped aside. There was no sadness or joy on her face, and she didn't seem to care about the victory or defeat just now.

She silently followed the first few students who got the gifts off the stage, and in her heart, she should still be calculating how many games of chess she had to play to complete Teacher Xiao Yang's task. For the Internet celebrities behind her, she seems to have become less yearning.

Although it was just a game of backgammon that ended badly, she also seemed to have caught something in it. Her little brain kept thinking about it, and when she returned to her seat, she suddenly smiled.

Because she seems to have found the answer that she has been puzzled in her heart for a long time.

……

Perhaps because of the increased responsibility of teaching students, Yang Zheng also made a training plan for himself.

His chess strength has probably reached his upper limit when he went to the exhibition instead of a chess nerd. Although the current ceiling is enough for him to deal with the vast majority of professional chess players, it is obvious that there is not much chance of winning against a top player like Lao Zhou. Especially in the game where Lao Zhou and Dongdong played against each other, the unprecedented sense of oppression also made him feel a hint of crisis.

Your students will only get stronger and stronger in the future, and as a teacher, you must also break through your own limits and constantly pursue your limits.

What are the limits of chess? Is it computing power that surpasses all of them? Is it the big picture of controlling the chessboard and the psychology of the opponent? Or is it the experience of battle-hardened?

This answer is too complicated, even Lao Zhou, who stands at the peak of Chinese chess, cannot give a perfect answer.

Moreover, this answer also varies from person to person.

In order to break through the limit, Yang Zheng tried to play against computer AI for the first time, and his winning rate was as high as 95% against the junior and intermediate artificial intelligence, while his winning rate was only 50% against the top chess artificial intelligence on the Internet.

If this data is placed in the Chinese chess world, it will definitely surprise many people, and it will also make many professional chess players feel ashamed. But Yang Zheng does not seem to be satisfied, because he knows that the artificial intelligence that can be searched on the Internet is far less advanced than the artificial intelligence of those large companies and enterprises, and he also knows that artificial intelligence is still growing, and its upper limit is even higher than the limit of human beings.

In order to improve his winning rate in the face of advanced artificial intelligence, Yang Zheng has also checked a lot of information on the Internet. Nowadays, there are not many chess players who can challenge and win against artificial intelligence. But most of them are endgame wins.

And, almost all chess people feel that going beyond the limits of AI will always be in the chess endgame.

Among them is a chess player known as a 512-core computer, who once said in an interview that he has devoted himself to studying the chess endgame for more than ten years in order to challenge artificial intelligence.

Of course, I don't know if what he said is true or false, but in the face of artificial intelligence carefully researched by a foreign company, his endgame winning rate is as high as 85%, which can already be said to be a domestic record and a world record.

This person's name is Gou Ame, although the name is not good, but it is famous in the chess world. Even Lao Zhou, who has retired from the chess world for a long time, has heard of his name, but Lao Zhou does not have a high opinion of him, he often says that Gou Ama is sacrificing his roots, and also says that he has forgotten the root of chess.

Yang Zheng also asked Lao Zhou about what is the root of chess, and Lao Zhou's answer is that the root of chess is the battle between people. Perhaps for Lao Zhou, if a culture wants to be passed on, it must be the docking between people, not the docking between humans and machines.

Although Lao Zhou is telling the truth, how many people can really listen to it now?

Yang Zheng was also interested in his endgame theory because of Gou Ame.

Through online information, he learned that this man actually opened a chess club, specializing in teaching people to play chess. This made Yang Zheng decide to go to Gou Amo tomorrow to see his endgame.
