Everyone knew that Zhang Ye was smart!
Everyone knew that Zhang Ye was good!
But Go? No one had ever seen him play it before!
So before this, no one had any idea of Zhang Ye's skill level. They knew that he might know how to play Go, but no one knew exactly how good he was at it. As a result, after the press conference, a lot of people had a pessimistic attitude and felt that it was impossible for them to win. But now, they knew. Through the host and commentator's words, they discovered that in this war between humans and machines, Zhang Ye was playing a completely head-on battle with the AI. Moreover, he even had a slight advantage in the opening game!
His eldest younger sister exclaimed, "Our brother is so awesome!"
His mother stared at him and said, "Didn't Little Ye only learn Go a few times in elementary school?"
His father slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder China Qiyuan invited him to take part!"
Elsewhere.
Fan Wenli was stunned. "Director Zhang is really good!"
Chen Guang said, "Damn, I was wondering why he would dare to take the challenge!"
At the Yao household.
Yao Jiancai said in a speechless manner, "This Little Zhang, why does he know everything!"
Yao Mi shouted, "Teacher Zhang, you can do it! Beat it! Beat it! "
On the Online Go Server, the first match of the final round of the war between humans and machines was also being broadcasted live. The Online Go commentator looked very excited as he said loudly, "Look, Peter has already gone silent! It has been thinking for 20 minutes without making a single move! This is amazing! Face-smacking Zhang is amazing! Face-smacking Zhang has once again demonstrated his amazing talent in front of all of Asia. He has given humanity hope of defeating the AI! These few moves were indeed at the professional level! At this moment, Face-smacking Zhang has shown the world that he has definitely lived up to his title of being the smartest person in the last century! He is definitely the most intelligent person in the world today! There is no one else! "
As a mathematician, he would definitely not be too bad at Go. But it was just not too bad. It was almost impossible for him to reach the very top of the game. This was because Go required a lot of time and actual combat experience to accumulate. It was a game that required a person to devote all their time and effort into. Therefore, the scene that had just unfolded could not be explained with Zhang Ye's status as a famous mathematician!
There was only one explanation:
That was because Zhang Ye was too smart!
This was his innate talent and wisdom!
This game of chess was indeed a contest between the smartest humans and machines in the world. The netizens who had doubted whether Zhang Ye could represent humanity could no longer say anything, because Zhang Ye was definitely qualified to do so!
…
At the venue.
More than 20 minutes passed.
Finally, Peter moved and gave a response!
Seeing this move, Zhang Ye frowned. This time, it was his turn to think.
Peter's counterattack was not very strong. In fact, it could even be said to be very common. But upon a closer look, one would realize that its black stones were placed in a very sensitive spot and were not easy to deal with. If one pressed forward and played, they might very well be taken advantage of, and that would put the corner in danger. But if one were to leave it alone, one would definitely be pinned down by it in the next move. Right now, the best opening left for Zhang Ye was the position in the right row. It seemed like the safest place to place his stone there. But just as Zhang Ye was about to place his stone, he hesitated. He suddenly felt that something was not right.
A trap?
Yes, this was a trap!
After Zhang Ye deduced four moves, he was able to determine it immediately!
What a great move!
This move is making me very uncomfortable!
Zhang Ye fell silent again. As expected of an artificial intelligence, he had finally witnessed its capabilities. Moreover, as the game progressed and the situation became more complicated, the AI's precision in its calculations would become even more prominent. Right now, Zhang Ye and PeterGo had entered a battle of attrition!
In the commentary booth.
Yu Yingyi asked curiously, "Has Professor Zhang encountered a difficult problem?"
Chen Ying 7-dan was also very puzzled. "If it were me, I would definitely take the fifth position on the right."
"Yeah, there's an opening over there." Even a dabbler like Yu Yingyi could tell.
Chen Ying 7-dan said, "So I don't know what Professor Zhang is thinking about … Eh, that's not right. Wait a minute, this move doesn't seem that simple!"
In the spectator area.
Many of the professional Go players were also pointing at the screen and discussing. A lot of them did not understand why Zhang Ye had fallen silent here. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have done so.
Only Wu Changhe spoke, "Fifth from the right cannot leave."
Xiang Rong 9-dan looked at it and grunted in agreement.
"Why?"
"If the fifth from the right doesn't work, the sixth from the right should work, right?"
Wu Changhe shook his head. "That's a trap." He picked up an infrared pen and pointed it at the screen, pointing it out for everyone. "If he moves the fifth position on the right, the machine will turn around and play here. That Zhang kid will only be able to make a parallel move. If the machine moves here, Zhang kid will have to take another step, and the machine will turn around and play 'dismantle.' Then he won't have any other choice. The layout in the corner will become passive. That's why I said that this is a trap."
A lot of people were enlightened!
Hu Liang 6-dan said worriedly, "What if Professor Zhang falls for it?"
"Yeah." A female professional 5-dan Go player said anxiously, "What if he falls for it?"
Xiang Rong directly said, "He won't fall for it!"
Wu Changhe nodded in agreement with Xiang Rong's words. Although he looked down on Zhang Ye and found him to be an eyesore, he still acknowledged Zhang Ye's Go skills. Otherwise, their China Qiyuan would not have gone to Zhang Ye's house to invite a layman like him out of all the other professional Go players! It was precisely because so many people here could not even see through this trap that they were here to watch the game. And the person sitting on the platform was Zhang Ye! Zhang Ye's Go skills were much better than theirs!
Suddenly, Zhang Ye made his move!
He played a "break" that no one had expected!
Wu Changhe nodded.
Xiang Rong 9-dan sighed. "He didn't fall for it, but his advantage is gone."
Wu Changhe said, "There's no other way. His opponent is too difficult to deal with. This is already a very good response."
Zhang Ye was playing very conservatively. Actually, he could have used many other strategies, but he chose the most reliable one, even though it would cause him to lose his advantage of two or three points. The main reason was that his opponent's move was too beautiful, and Zhang Ye did not have any good ideas to counter it.
The machine was indeed very powerful!
It was so powerful that Zhang Ye was starting to feel strained!
Chen Ying frowned. "Why did he play here? He clearly could have … Oh, I know. Right 5 is a trap. It looks like a piece of cake, but there's no way he could have eaten it. " She immediately took out the Virtual Drive and demonstrated it so that the audience could understand. "Over here, if he did that, he would be in a passive position. That's why Professor Zhang has no other choice. Oh, Peter has made its move again. This move looks really familiar. 'Charge' here. This is the style and path that Xiang Rong 9-dan often uses. With these two moves, it won't be easy for Professor Zhang to play.
Peter has already caught up to his score! "The hearts of the TV viewers and the Go players sank.
The situation had changed too quickly!
But this was the charm of Go!
The entire venue was silent. Even the international referees were nervously watching the situation.
Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes and played a "long" move!
Peter "pull"!
Zhang Ye "stand"!
Peter "fold"!
In the next few moves, neither side was able to gain the upper hand!
Zhang Ye was forced to take a stone!
Very quickly, Peter was forced to take a stone as well!
The board was in a stalemate, and the way the two players played was too exciting. You go, I go, and you go. Countless professional and amateur Go players were shocked by what they saw!
