87 Philosophy and Life
The answer of the chess master undoubtedly raised the chess to a philosophical level.
If the chess player simply improves the computing power, it seems that chess does not have any meaning to exist in the world.
If you really judge the future of chess simply by winning or losing.
The so-called inheritance... The so-called spirit seems to have no meaning at all.
The future of chess will also change from a contest between people to a contest between humans and machines... and even the final battle between machines and machines.
If this is the case, every chess player will have no meaning in existing.
It's a pity that Pengfei didn't think about this back then.
He also simply felt that this chess master's goal was not only to win the dozens of chessboards in front of him, but also to have the ambition to fight with the sky.
At different ages, the perspective of looking at things is like this, and Peng Fei at that time once regarded this unnamed chess master as his goal and idol.
When he became a real, veritable chess grandmaster last year, he also sought out the chess master who gave him direction, and when he learned that his mentor had died a few years earlier.
In addition to lamenting the impermanence of the world, he also tried to understand the life of this chess master through the words of others.
Before he was 60 years old, he lived in a poor and isolated mountain village, until he was 61 years old, because of his excellent chess skills, he was invited by his young chess friends to play against foreign artificial intelligence that was rampant in the chess world that year.
He checkmates the opposite with fifteen moves of rapid chess, and he should have made a name for himself and won numerous honors.
But after winning over the artificial intelligence, he hurried home and put away the wheat.
He has been out of the mountain a total of six times, and each time he will meet a different opponent, with more and more advanced artificial intelligence, there are also well-known professional chess players at home and abroad, and there is also Qi Yueshan, who is known as the strongest chess player in today's chess world.
In these six encounters, he almost won all of them except for losing to Qi Yueshan.
It was also because of his excellent chess skills that Wang did not regret making an exception to promote him from an amateur chess player to an honorary chess master.
For the last twenty years of his life, he stayed in his hometown with Maizi, except for two necessary coaching. And those who know his name and past call him the Wheat Chess Saint.
is such a man who is not greedy for fame and fortune and has no quarrel with the world, how can he think of fighting with the sky?
At that time, Pengfei never understood.
But until now, after he talked to Yang Zheng, he seemed to understand, understood the Maizi Chess Sage, why he didn't forget to look at the sky.
Maybe it's because Mai Ziqi Saint saw that he was too murderous when he was young, and wanted him to be as indifferent as space.
Of course, this is only the perception of Peng Fei's age, his mentor has passed away, and there is no reasonable explanation for his advice at the beginning.
He is likely to have a more different perception of his words in his thirties, forties, fifties and even longer life, right?
After all, the man who said this, his whole life was also condensed in this short sentence.
Yang Zheng looked at Peng Fei thoughtfully, and he didn't bother.
He quietly waited for the time of class, watching the people in the chess club come and go, and he also had a little more insight about chess.
