Chapter 1521: 1521
Before noon .
On the Go Server .
The global chat was full of talk .
"Zone 3, Table 56, looking for an opponent . "
"Are there any amateur 5-dan players available for a match?"
"I'm not playing anymore today . I Am a Singer's fourth season is rerunning and I want to watch it again . "
"Are there any professional players in a match right now? Looking to observe . "
"I think 9-dan Chen Ying is online at Table 17 in the pro zone . "
"Has anyone challenged PeterGo these past few days?"
"Why would anyone do that? They've been losing for over two years . "
"How many wins has that 'computer' racked up?"
"7000-plus wins, should be . Don't really remember . "
The chat was constantly scrolling with messages . But unbeknownst to everyone, at this very moment, a match worthy of going down into the annals of the Go world's history books was about to begin!
Zhang Ye clicked on the button to challenge PeterGo with a smile . "It's starting . "
Sisi's small fists were clenched, and her face was tense with nervousness .
However, Zhang Ye appeared very relaxed as he clicked to confirm the match .
The battle began!
Zhang Ye picked white and was to go second .
Peter went first and placed a stone in the corner without calculating .
Zhang Ye clicked and placed a white stone .
Peter followed up .
Zhang Ye smiled as the white stones' framework got set up .
For a battle of such level, a three-year-old child like Sisi who had just started learning Go would definitely not be able to comprehend what was going on .
However, Zhang Ye still patiently explained to his daughter as he played his moves . "The first step is to create the opening . On the surface, this is a very regular way of playing, but there exist many variations . " He then placed another white stone on the board . He smiled and said, "For this move, your grandpa is actually very good at it . He really loves using it . "
Sisi said disappointedly, "But Grandpa still lost to the computer . "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Even if your grandpa lost, it doesn't mean that Daddy will lose . Though it's the same move, it becomes different when he uses it and when I use it . Your grandpa definitely does not know how to play the variations that follow after this move, nor do the professional Go players of this world know it either . You'll see what I mean later . "
Sisi was feeling confused . "Oh . "
But two moves later, Zhang Ye exclaimed, "That's interesting . "
Sisi said, "Huh?"
Zhang Ye said, "It has predicted my intentions and is beginning to remedy things . "
Sisi said, "Ah?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "PeterGo really seems to have been upgraded . It's much more astute than before . Actually, the performance of such AI can be pretty iffy . Those years ago, the Americans were so confident when they declared that machines had already surpassed humans . In actual fact, PeterGo's basic principle only lies in its processing power . It depends on an extremely powerful computer to make calculations that humans are unable to make within a short period of time . As such, be it your grandpa or Little Tian, all of them would lose to it no matter what . They didn't lose because of their playstyles, but because of the difference in computing power and computing speed . The dozens to hundreds of variations that can be played after a move cannot be predicted by them, but PeterGo can do just that . That's its advantage . "
Sisi was getting anxious . "What about you?"
Zhang Ye said, "I'm naturally an exception . "
Sisi asked, "Why?"
Zhang Ye gently patted his daughter's little head and said with a smile, "Because your daddy does not only know how to play Go . I'm also a mathematician . " He added, "The most outstanding mathematician in the entire world, and that is where Daddy is different from them . "
It was hard to tell if Sisi understood .
…
Yalong Bay .
In the hotel the Qiyuan's people were lodging in .
Quite a few newcomers had gathered together and were ready to start training .
"Who wants to go first?"
"Definitely not me . "
"Old He, you're the eldest here, so you go first . "
"Get lost, I'm only 21, and I'm also just two months older than you . "
"Niannian, you're the most skilled; you go first . "
"No . "
Everyone was pushing the responsibility around as they did not wish to play first . The training schedule the Qiyuan had planned was to let everyone play against PeterGo by the batches . They had a total of over a dozen people, so everyone would likely get a game each throughout the day . After that, they would discuss the experience and write a research report about it before continuing the same process on the next day .
