106 Old and New

"By the way, Mr. Yang, do you think it is ancient chess or modern chess?"

After a busy day, Peng Fei took the initiative to invite Yang Zheng to have dinner together.

Yang Zheng wanted to refuse, but thinking that Peng Fei had indeed helped him a lot today, he still agreed.

But he didn't expect that Peng Fei would actually ask this question at the dinner table.

In recent years, the topic of who is superior and who is inferior in ancient and modern chess has been a hot topic of discussion on the Internet.

Some chess friends think that the level of modern chess is high, firstly, because modern chess is more changeable than ancient chess, and the number of chess players is also more than that of ancient chess, coupled with the emergence of artificial intelligence, the thinking mode of modern people is also stronger than that of the ancients. Therefore, they feel that the level of modern chess is not only high, but also far superior to ancient chess.

However, there are also a considerable number of people who feel that the level of modern chess is not as good as that of ancient chess in the past.

Because they feel that although modern people's way of thinking is stronger than that of the ancients, the variability of the opening game is also a lot more varied than that of the ancients. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence has degraded the aesthetics and logic of the entire chess game, and even the game of Go.

People are as calm as machines, but they have lost the creativity that people should have.

In fact, there is a certain truth in what the two groups of discussants said, and now there are still many old chess players who resist artificial intelligence, although these old chess players are old, they can also use their accumulated experience over the years and some treasured, unknown old chess games, in today's chess world, there is a place in today's chess world.

Although Peng Fei is a supporter of the former faction, he now also wants to hear Yang Zheng's opinion.

Yang Zheng didn't think too much, and his answer was also unexpected by Pengfei.

"I think it's just as powerful."

Peng Fei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this answer.

"I think you're starting to learn to be tactful."

However, after Yang Zheng said this early, he actually repeated the same powerful answer seriously.

Looking at Yang Zheng's appearance, Peng Fei also realized that Yang Zheng was not sleek, but thought so.

"Why?" Pengfei was also interested.

"Do you think artificial intelligence has a big impact on us?" Yang Zheng didn't rush to answer this question, but asked Peng Fei instead.

"Of course it's big." Peng Fei replied without thinking: "It is precisely because of the emergence of artificial intelligence that chess has been going downhill in the late nineties of the last century. ”

Peng Fei seemed to be afraid that Yang Zheng didn't know that history, and when he was about to talk about it at length, Yang Zheng asked again: "What about now?" ”

"Now..."Peng Fei heard these two words, he seemed to realize something, and did not continue to say that there was something about artificial intelligence before.

"What people always love to watch is the contest between people."

"What is lacking in today's chess is the competition between people."

"The ancients could think all night without sleeping for the decision-making of a son, and the ancients could also continue to compete outside the chessboard for a simple victory or defeat on the chessboard."

"They're not playing chess for the sake of winning or losing on a chessboard."

"What they enjoy is the purest and most fun process, and that process is to see who gets the most out of the tricks first."

"And now, people are looking for nothing but the strongest... It's more about trying to prove a result they don't know by defeating artificial intelligence. ”
