More than 10 minutes passed!
Peter did not move at all!
The usual time limit for each side was two hours, but Peter's watch showed that there was only an hour and 40 minutes left. More than 10 precious minutes had all been wasted here!
The two referees gave each other a baffled look.
The Americans could no longer sit still and kept looking at the machine. They were afraid that something had gone wrong with the internal program that had caused Peter to stop thinking. But when they saw the indicator lights of the machine, there were no problems, nor were there any error alerts. This meant that Peter was still working normally, except that it was "thinking." Moreover, it was "deep thinking" that required a lot of calculations.
Why?
Just what on earth had happened?
Why had it stopped here?
No one could understand Peter's hesitation!
Perhaps only Zhang Ye knew why this joseki was known as one of the three most difficult josekis in his previous world. It was also the most difficult joseki to solve because there were too many variations to the Great Slant Joseki. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was endless, but the way to deal with it was not as easy as others thought. There were too many choices to choose from, and behind every choice, there would be countless new alternatives. If one was not careful, they would lose everything!
It could kill people!
It could also kill oneself!
This was the Great Slant Joseki, an extremely dangerous joseki. Even in Zhang Ye's previous world, where the variations of the Great Slant Joseki had been studied thoroughly, the top experts of the Go world would still not dare to use it easily during a critical match. If they did not handle it well, they might even get killed before they could even injure their opponent. It was not like such a situation had never happened before!
Zhang Ye was going all out today because he had already identified Peter's weakness yesterday. Today was the day to verify it!
Yu Yingyi said in a speechless manner, "Peter seems to have slowed down? Didn't they say that it had been upgraded? Why does it seem like it's still not as good as before? "
Chen Ying did not dare to jump to conclusions. "There might be a mystery behind it?"
"Mystery?" Yu Yingyi asked.
Chen Ying said, "I don't understand it either, but since Professor Zhang has made this move, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. Moreover, Peter has been thinking for such a long time without making any rash moves, which proves that the game here is not as simple as it seems." She was sweating a little. She felt that her skill level was still too low. Yesterday's game of chess was like this. With her skill level, she couldn't understand much of the game between the two top experts.
So she said, "My standards are limited, but this seems to be a very important place. Is there a director here? Let's see if we can invite Teacher Xiang Rong over. "
Not long after, Xiang Rong 9-dan really arrived.
Yu Yingyi greeted, "Hello, Teacher Xiang."
Xiang Rong nodded and sat down.
Chen Ying immediately asked, "Master Xiang, I really don't understand Professor Zhang's move. Can you explain it to the audience?"
Xiang Rong nodded.
Chen Ying heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiang Rong said, "Then I'll say it. This game … I don't understand it either."
Chen Ying was floored!
Yu Yingyi fainted!
The viewers in front of their televisions were floored!
The atmosphere was very awkward. But at this moment, Peter made its move!
"He's making his move!" Yu Yingyi shouted.
Peter broke through!
When Zhang Ye saw this, he smiled and played!
Then, Peter fell silent once again!
It wasn't until five minutes had passed that Peter made another move.
But Zhang Ye did not even think about it as he pushed forward!
Peter pondered for the third time and went into a long period of thought!
Break through?
A head-on battle?
Alright then, I'll play with you!
Zhang Ye looked relaxed.
At this point, if they still couldn't figure out what was going on, then these professional Go players would have been in vain!
Xiang Rong was the first to change his expression. "What a great slant!"
Chen Ying was also dumbfounded. "This is too dangerous! Th-This is too dangerous! "
Yu Yingyi could not understand. "What on earth happened?"
Chen Ying was so shocked that she was sweating profusely. "At the beginning, I thought that Peter's break through was a very good move that allowed it to advance or retreat. But from the looks of it now, this move has dragged Peter into a quagmire! Professor Zhang's follow-up move has forced Peter to fight to the death! Moreover, there are too many changes in every move. If Peter moves forward, Professor Zhang can counterattack, but it's impossible to predict what will happen after that. It's all variables. But if Peter moves into the corner and Professor Zhang attacks it head on, then after three moves, there will be even more variables. It's impossible to see who will gain the upper hand. And even if one side gains the upper hand, the variables will not end here. The other side will still have a chance to counterattack! This … this is simply too unpredictable! "
Yu Yingyi said dumbfoundedly, "Peter made a mistake?"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "It shouldn't have broken through. If it had moved forward …"
But Xiang Rong interrupted her, "Peter did not make a mistake."
"Eh?" Chen Ying looked at him.
Xiang Rong smiled and said, "When Professor Zhang's Big Jump Barrier was played, this situation was already set up. I only now understand why Peter took so long to think. Have a look at this." He took out a laptop and started playing on it. "If Peter had moved forward, the outcome would still be the same. Professor Zhang could have played here, and the situation would still have been very dangerous."
Chen Ying said in surprise, "What if it made a move forward?"
Xiang Rong said, "It could have made a move forward, but Professor Zhang would have followed it. If Peter played here, Professor Zhang would have made a counterattack. If this situation is analyzed in detail, it would have become even more complicated! Or perhaps it could have been a way to deal with the situation. If that were the case, Professor Zhang would have made a move here and Peter would have made a counterattack instead. That would have been a simple way to break out of the situation. But even if it did break out of the situation, Peter would still be at a disadvantage by about two or three points. I believe that with Peter's upgraded computing power, it would clearly not have made this choice. On one hand, it would be an unknown, and on the other hand, it would have fallen into a disadvantageous position. It would not have made a choice between a disadvantageous position and a disadvantageous one! "With a pause, he said," Perhaps there is a better way to break out of the situation? But the situation is too complicated, and it would require a long period of analysis before it could be determined. The amount of work involved would be too great, and it would probably take even a year to analyze all the possible changes! "
A year?
Yu Yingyi was stunned on the spot!
Chen Ying also gasped!
Xiang Rong said in admiration, "Professor Zhang is indeed a genius. This is definitely a brand new and complex joseki. Every move that it makes is extremely dangerous!"
Chen Ying suddenly asked, "But why doesn't Professor Zhang need to think about it? Look, he made every move in an instant. He didn't hesitate at all! "
Xiang Rong gave a wry smile. "I don't know."
Yes, he really didn't know!
Elsewhere.
The Qiyuan's people were also extremely shocked!
Hu Liang said with his mouth agape, "A new joseki?"
"It's too complicated!"
"Damn, I'm going crazy from watching this! Th-This is way too messy! "
"There are too many choices in this joseki! But most of them are checkmate moves. If you make a wrong choice, you'll be doomed eternally! How did Professor Zhang come up with such a joseki? "
"Damn, Professor Zhang has come up with another strange move!"
"Why doesn't he need to think about it?"
"That's right! Why doesn't he? "
"Adding up each of the possible changes, there are at least several hundred to a thousand possible moves. Even the computer is fucking confused by it! Even the upgraded AI has to fucking think about it for so long! Why doesn't Professor Zhang even need to think about it? Furthermore, with every move he makes, Peter has to face dozens of different choices again? "
"Could he be even more of a computer than the computer?"
No one knew how Zhang Ye did it!
Logically speaking, with such a dangerous joseki, if Peter was in such a mess, then Zhang Ye should be in the same situation as well. He should be having a headache over it!
If Peter could speak, it would probably be cursing right now!
Why?
Actually, there was no why.
Peter had all the Go data from this world in its "brain"?
Zhang Ye also had a lot of data from his previous world in his mind. This was one of the three most difficult josekis, the Great Slant Joseki. The people of this world did not know about it, nor had they studied it before. But in his previous world, it had already been studied many times. Zhang Ye already knew the main changes to it, so why would he need to think of a solution on the spot!
You can use data?
Hur hur, actually, I can too!
