The car was on the road.
The chessboard was also set up.
Many of the youths from the China Qiyuan were very interested in the game, and as they chattered, they gathered around to watch Chen Qiqi and the young man play.
Zhang Ye was of course more familiar with the China Qiyuan. Be it the war between humans and machines or his relationship with his father-in-law, he had always been inextricably linked to the Qiyuan. However, he had never seen or even heard of any of these young people in the car before. He knew very well that these young people should have only become professional Go players in the past one or two years and were all newcomers. It was obvious that they did not know him. Although Zhang Ye was wearing sunglasses, he was still a former Asian Heavenly King. Hai, perhaps he had been away for too long that people had really forgotten about him.
Chen Qiqi asked, "How many pieces do you want me to give you?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "There's no need for that."
Huo Yan said, "Big brother, Qiqi is a professional."
"My skill is still alright," Zhang Ye said.
Chen Niannian asked in surprise, "What rank are you at?"
Zhang Ye casually said, "9th dan."
Chen Qiqi obviously didn't get it right. She said in surprise, "Oh, an amateur ninth dan? That's about the same level as us third or fourth stage professional players. "
Chen Niannian said, "Then there's really no need to give way."
Chen Qiqi called out, "Come, come, come. Let's guess."
Amateur ninth dan?
Zhang Ye did not say anything.
Guess. Chen Qiqi was the backup, while Zhang Ye played black and went first.
Zhang Ye placed his stone rather casually.
However, the moment Chen Qiqi picked up her chess pieces, it was as if she had become a completely different person. Her style of playing was very stable, which was quite different from her personality. She focused on defense and took a steady and steady approach. Furthermore, her positioning and layout were very standard and professional. It was obvious that she had been professionally trained. Moreover, this style of play and playing style gave Zhang Ye a sense of familiarity. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before, as if he had played against a similar opponent in the past.
Zhang Ye could not help but ask, "Who is your teacher?"
Chen Qiqi looked up. "It's my aunt."
"Your aunt?" Zhang Ye was taken aback. Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind. "Chen Ying 8-dan?"
Chen Qiqi exclaimed, "How did you know?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Your playing style is exactly the same as hers."
Chen Niannian also gave Zhang Ye a few more glances, "You're amazing, Big Bro. You can even tell that? But I have to correct you, my sister-in-law was already a 9th dan the year before last. "
Was he already at the ninth phase?
That was pretty good.
Hearing another old friend's name, Zhang Ye was also quite happy.
"Is China still number one in the world in the field of Go?"
"Sort of."
"What do you mean by 'consider'?"
"If compared to Japan and Korea, yes."
"Aren't China, Japan, and South Korea the best in Go?"
"That's under the premise that it's not artificial intelligence."
"Ah? Artificial intelligence? "
"You don't know about PeterGo?"
"I know. Didn't someone beat it back four years ago?"
"But two years ago, PeterGo made a comeback and was upgraded by the Americans."
"Did no one challenge it?"
In the past two years, even Teacher Tian Weiwei, my aunt, and the others lost. Not even a hundred of humanity's top Go players could beat it, and that included the amateur Go players as well. In these two years, PeterGo's record was over 1,000 wins and zero losses. My younger sister and I also challenged it. With PeterGo on the Go platform 24 hours a day, anyone can challenge it. But we still lost. To be honest, we're not on the same level at all. PeterGo's Go skills have far surpassed those of humans. "
"Surely someone can beat it, right?"
"That's what everyone thought in the past too. But after two years, no one has been able to beat it even once, much less win three games in a best-of-five format. In recent years, no one has challenged PeterGo anymore. That's because everyone knows they can't win, so they've all given up."
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
They chatted and listened.
Zhang Ye learned a lot of things from them. He increasingly felt that the world had changed too much. In just three years, many things had changed.
Zhang Yuanqi had retired from showbiz?
Male idols taking over?
The Heavenly Kings and Queens undergoing a major change?
PeterGo was making a comeback?
Zhang Ye sighed as he placed a stone down.
Chen Qiqi smiled and said, "That's why you should watch more TV. Otherwise, the news will be too outdated and you'll be eliminated from society." Speaking up to this point, Chen Qiqi looked at the Go board and was stunned. She exclaimed as though someone had stepped on her tail, "Damn, y-you're using the Cosmic Flow?"
Chen Niannian was dumbfounded!
Huo Yan was also very surprised!
Everyone looked like they had seen something new.
"The Cosmic Flow?"
"It's really the Cosmic Flow!"
"Damn, how many years has it been since I've seen it!"
"Is there anyone else who still uses the Cosmic Flow?"
"Uh, it's already outdated for a long time!"
Everyone couldn't help but be speechless. They lamented that the game was really like the player. This strategy was too outdated!
But Zhang Ye said, "What's so bad about the Cosmic Flow?"
Chen Niannian said, "After that earth-shattering war between humans and machines, the Cosmic Flow became very popular. Be it professionals or amateurs, almost everyone was using this strategy. But no one knows when it started, but the Cosmic Flow has long since been overhauled and researched. Basically, the variations of each move and the strategy are no longer a secret. So gradually, no one uses it anymore. It's become an outdated strategy."
But Zhang Ye just smiled and did not say anything.
Huo Yan said, "But Qiqi, you're in danger."
Chen Niannian also said, "This big bro is very good at Go."
Chen Qiqi said gloomily, "I was distracted and didn't notice that he was using the Cosmic Flow. Otherwise, I wouldn't have played like that. There are many ways to deal with the Cosmic Flow."
Zhang Ye said kindly, "Then this game doesn't count."
Chen Qiqi threw in the towel. "Let's play another game, let's play another game."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sure."
This time, Chen Qiqi got serious.
But not long after the game started, everyone started shouting again.
"What?"
"It's the Cosmic Flow again?"
"Big bro, just which era are you from?"
But Zhang Ye only cared about himself.
Soon after, Chen Qiqi threw in the towel. "Aiya, I made a mistake, I made a mistake!"
Although Huo Yan was a Xiangqi player, he also knew how to play Go. "Qiqi, you could have won."
Chen Qiqi thought so too. "Yeah, I made the wrong move."
Chen Niannian giggled and said, "Sis, why don't you play me instead? I've never lost in the Cosmic Flow. I've already figured out the old moves of the Cosmic Flow when I first started learning Go."
Chen Qiqi curled her lips and said, "Alright, alright, it's your turn."
Chen Niannian sat over. "Big bro, I'm not going to go easy on you."
Zhang Ye smiled. "There's no need to go easy on me. I'll just play normally."
Chen Niannian smiled. "Alright, then I'll show you why the Cosmic Flow has been eliminated. It's time for you to change up your playing style."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "We'll talk about that after you beat me."
Chen Niannian said, "Alright."
Huo Yan said, "Come on, Niannian."
Another young man said, "We're professional Go players, so don't embarrass yourself."
Huo Yan said, "Niannian will be fine."
Among their group, Chen Niannian's skill level was the highest, and his rank was also the highest. That person's skill level was only at the level of an amateur stage 9, which was equivalent to a professional stage 3 or 4. However, compared to Chen Niannian, who was at the level of a professional stage 5, there was still a certain gap. Moreover, the opponent's strategy was an outdated Cosmic Flow, which was too easy to deal with. They did not think that Chen Niannian would lose, and Chen Niannian also thought so.
However, after a few moves, Chen Niannian's expression turned gloomy. It was as though he couldn't muster up any strength at all.
Zhang Ye laughed.
Eliminated?
Out-of-date?
He had heard too many of these terms today.
Maybe I've really fallen behind.
Maybe I've really fallen behind.
Maybe times have really changed.
But —
Zhang Ye raised his hand and placed the last stone down.
Chen Niannian's move had collapsed!
Chen Niannian was stunned!
Chen Qiqi was dumbfounded!
Everyone looked at Zhang Ye in surprise!
Zhang Ye smiled.
But you guys still can't beat me.
