What is chess? What is the Tao?

It's like there are a thousand Hamlets for every thousand readers, and everyone's answer is different.

For most ordinary professional chess players, chess may have been a hobby before, but in many cases, it can only be said to be a job to support a family.

Most chess players, their previous income was more than 1,000 yuan.

Many professional chess players who obviously have the strength of master chess, but because of many reasons such as mentality, age, and personality, they have never been able to get to the master rank in their lives.

Many passers-by looked at them without hope and persuaded them to give up this profession. Of course, they also understand that if they give up, they also have a high probability of finding a job that is more money, less work, and interesting than a professional chess player, and it can also allow them to live with dignity and confidence.

But after thinking about it, they still insisted on playing chess.

Nowadays, chess has also ushered in a good day for them, and many people have turned the limelight and praised them for their persistence and vision.

also persuaded them to start a live broadcast and become chess Internet celebrities.

Many people close to them fantasize that they can carp and jump into the dragon gate, and in this good era, there is a highlight moment for them.

Most of the chess players, following the advice of the people around them, tried to open a few live broadcasts, and then they silently turned off the live broadcast and chose to continue playing chess.

Playing chess is boring, and it is also a thing that takes a lot of energy and energy, and practicing chess is a particularly torturous practice.

Although live streaming can help them increase their income in a short period of time, the same price is that they don't have much time to practice.

Obviously, playing chess is a way to earn money in the eyes of friends and family, and even in your own eyes. It is clear that now they can earn a lot of money in a short period of time.

But why would they rather give up this great opportunity and do some useless work?

Do they know that no matter how hard they work, it will be difficult to get the rank of chess master, and do they know that even if they are working hard to improve their chess skills, they can only play artificial intelligence?

Perhaps, they know.

But after all, they have been playing chess for decades, whether it is their habits or the childhood teachings of their teachers and elders over the years, they have made them understand that chess is like a sentence - sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

"May I ask Mr. Yang, when did you learn chess?" A sharp-eyed female reporter, she found Yang Zheng across the road, she pulled the photographer through the crowd without moving, and came to Yang Zheng and Peng Fei.

She belongs to a full-time reporter who covers chess news, and she can recognize many chess stars at a glance, which also leads to the fact that when she sees Yang Zheng, she also recognizes Peng Fei, who is thinking about what problems on the side.

She is very smart, she did not go straight to the point, using sensitive questions as her first question, but using the simplest and easiest to shorten the distance between "learning" and "years" as the beginning.

This is not to say that she is gentle and knows how to advance and retreat, but because only by starting with simple questions can the opposite side unsuspectingly break some big news that others don't have.

"I've been playing chess since I was a child, but I didn't really learn it for a long time, just over a year." Yang Zheng's answer was very sincere, if this answer is placed in the ears of people who are familiar with Yang Zheng, this answer is correct and true.

But this answer was placed in the ears of the female reporter, but it made her a little unhappy.

Just over a year of learning chess, can you beat an artificial intelligence? This is not only a fantasy, but also a dishonest statement.

Indeed, dishonest, the female reporter looked at Yang Zheng today, judging from his clothes and the old shoes on his feet, his family background is very ordinary.

In the words of a well-known director, the more children from poor families like to lie.

Because they don't have too many opportunities for trial and error, failure can only be covered up with lies, and when faced with opportunities, they can only use lies to fight for opportunities.

Yang Zheng should have given a frank answer, but in her eyes, she was already a poor person who wanted to answer in a position.

Although there is some sympathy in my heart, the greed that soon wants to break the big news also hides this sympathy.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Then Mr. Yang is really a chess genius! How did Mr. Yang defeat artificial intelligence? As far as I know, you were facing the most advanced artificial intelligence in the country. ”

Yang Zheng listened to this question and looked at the female reporters with bright faces, as well as more and more media.

It dawned on him that this was a very difficult question to answer.

First of all, there is a high probability that he is not a genius, like chess nerds and Peng Fei, Li Tiandao and others who are really talented in chess.

At best, he only took advantage of Lao Zhou's light, and in this year's almost cramming education, he was lucky to beat many strongmen.

If you can't completely convert the things taught by Lao Zhou into your own things, maybe after a year and a half, your chess strength will barely maintain at the first-line level.

Although he is a little arrogant, a big reason why Yang Zheng was able to reach the level of a chess master in just one year is also because of this sense of crisis.

Not only that, in the words of the female reporter, the artificial intelligence he faced was the top level in China, which also made Yang Zheng frown.

Because he knew that the chess robot he met at that time may be the top level in China in terms of appearance and innovation, but the aspect of artificial intelligence core is a level that should have been eliminated a long time ago.

He knew what was going on inside, and if it had been a year ago, he would have calmly pointed out that the chess robot he was facing had a 12-year-old version of the kernel, so he could win so easily at that time.

can look at the onlookers reporters, and the questioner who is "eyeing the tiger".

He rarely began to organize his words.

"First of all, I'm not a chess genius, and winning the AI can only be regarded as a fluke."

The female reporter listened to Yang Zheng's dry answer, and she hurriedly asked, "Luck?" What kind of fluke? Did you find the bug? ”

Female journalists also know a little bit about artificial intelligence, and until now most of the chess players who can beat artificial intelligence are the ones who have found bugs.

Including yesterday, the Go player, although what he said was that he defeated artificial intelligence with hard power.

But a discerning person, as long as he analyzes the game, can know that he is lying.

Although the middle-aged man in front of him was already a dishonest person in his heart, he asked this question cleverly.

As long as he says that he does not rely on bugs, but on his own strength, then he will follow his lies and meet countless challenges in the rest of his life until he fails.

But as long as he says that he relies on bugs to defeat artificial intelligence, he just needs to ask along the way, whether he tells him what the bug is or not.

His remarks will also trigger a new and new upheaval across the country today.
