Before noon.
In the Online Go Server.
The chat in the world chat was very lively.
"Zone 3, Table 56. Someone come."
"Are there any amateur 5-dan players playing?"
"I'm not playing today. The fourth season of I Am a Singer is rebroadcasting. I want to watch it again."
"Are there any professional Go players playing? I want to watch. "
"Zone 17, Table 17. Chen Ying 9-dan seems to be online."
"Has anyone challenged PeterGo in the past few days?"
"How could there be anyone? It's been losing for over two years."
"How many wins does the 'computer' have?"
"Over 7,000 wins, I guess. I can't remember."
The chat was constantly being refreshed with messages. But no one knew that a match that would go down in the history of Go was about to begin!
Zhang Ye smiled and clicked on the game. "It's starting."
Sisi's little fists were clenched tightly. She looked very nervous.
But Zhang Ye was very relaxed as he clicked on the confirm button.
The game began!
Zhang Ye played white and made a follow-up move.
Peter made the first move and did not pause at all. It placed a stone in a small corner.
Zhang Ye clicked on a white stone.
Peter placed a stone.
Zhang Ye smiled and moved his white stone.
For a three-year-old child like Sisi, who was not even a beginner, it was clearly impossible for her to understand a battle of this level.
But Zhang Ye patiently explained to his daughter as he played, "This move is a setup. It might look like a conventional move, but there are many variations to it." Saying that, he placed another white stone and said with a smile, "Actually, your grandpa played this move very well. He loved using it a lot."
Sisi said dejectedly, "But grandpa lost to the computer."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Your grandpa might have lost, but that doesn't mean that Daddy will lose. It's the same move, so of course it won't be the same as mine. Your grandpa definitely doesn't know the variations to this move, and neither does the professional Go players of this world. You'll find out in a bit."
Sisi was confused. "OK."
But after two stones, Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Interesting."
Sisi said, "Ah?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's figured out my intentions and is trying to salvage the situation."
Sisi: "Huh?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "It seems like PeterGo has really been upgraded. It's much sharper than before. Actually, this kind of artificial intelligence is quite incredible. Back in the days, the Americans claimed that machines had already surpassed humans. But in reality, PeterGo's basic principle is its calculations. With an extremely powerful computer, it can perform calculations that humans can't do in a short period of time. So whether it's your grandpa or Little Tian, they all lost. They didn't lose in terms of playing style, but in terms of computing power and speed. They couldn't calculate the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of possible variations after a move, but PeterGo could. That's its advantage."
Sisi was anxious. "What about you?"
Zhang Ye said, "I'm naturally an exception."
Sisi asked, "Why?"
Zhang Ye gently patted his daughter on the head and said with a smile, "Because your daddy doesn't only know how to play Go. I'm also a mathematician." Then, he added, "I'm the best mathematician in the world. That's what makes me different from them."
Sisi didn't really understand.
…
Yalong Bay.
In the hotel that the Qiyuan was staying in.
Quite a few rookie Go players had gathered together and were getting ready to start their training.
"Who's going first?"
"I'm not going first, anyway."
"Old He, you're the eldest here, so you should go first."
"You go first, I'm only 21 years old. I'm only two months older than you."
"Niannian, you're the best, so you should go first."
"No."
Everyone was pushing and shoving, but no one was willing to go first. The Qiyuan had already assigned the training tasks for everyone to play against PeterGo in batches. There were more than a dozen of them in total, so each person could play a game of Go in a day. After that, they would summarize their experiences and write a research report before continuing on the next day.
Chen Qiqi said, "Aiya, hurry up, there's still time."
A girl said, "Yeah, Teacher Tian will be here to check on us in a while."
At this moment, Chen Niannian suddenly exclaimed, "Someone's playing against PeterGo?"
Chen Qiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Huh? Do people still play Go against artificial intelligence these days? "
A youth asked, "Is it someone from our Qiyuan?"
Chen Niannian shook her head. "No, it's someone called HEOR."
Chen Qiqi was amused. "It must be an amateur who wants to see the famous PeterGo. There are so many Go enthusiasts out there, so it wouldn't be strange for someone to join in the fun. Haha, then we'll be free."
A young girl rolled her eyes. "What free? When he's done playing, won't it be our turn to play? It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. "
Chen Qiqi said, "Then let's chat for a while. Niannian will go first in a while."
Chen Niannian complained, "Sis, why should it be me?"
Chen Qiqi harrumphed, "It's because you're already 5-dan."
Half an hour.
An hour.
Everyone was chatting happily and forgot about the time.
"It should be soon, right?"
"That person hasn't finished playing yet?"
"Damn, why is it taking so long?"
"Is there anyone who can last an hour playing against PeterGo?"
"Yeah, PeterGo plays very quickly and doesn't seem to have any time to think. It must be that amateur who's stalling for time. He's thinking for a long time before making a move."
"Then it's time for the countdown."
Someone clicked on it and took a look. But before the game could finish, they closed it and did not pay attention to the game.
Another 20 minutes or so passed.
Chen Niannian impatiently went over and opened the Go server. "Why isn't it done yet? Let me see. Eh, it's over, it's finally over. "
Chen Qiqi smiled and said, "Little Sis, you can do it!"
Chen Niannian gave a wry smile. "Alright then, I'll be playing. Everyone, pray for me."
A young girl said, "Then shall we head out? We won't disturb you any longer. "
But at this moment, they realized that Chen Niannian was suddenly stunned!
"Sister Niannian?"
"What's the matter?"
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
"What's the matter with you?"
Everyone found it strange.
Chen Niannian's jaw dropped like she had seen a ghost. She stared at the computer screen. "Holy shit!"
Chen Qiqi walked over. "Little Sis, what's the matter?"
Chen Niannian was so shocked that her hands were trembling. She pointed at the computer screen and shouted, "Oh my God! Quick, look! Come and see! "
A teenager wondered, "What are you looking at?"
A young girl said, "What are you trying to do?"
Everyone went forward.
The next moment, everyone was stunned!
Chen Qiqi screamed in fright!
Two teenagers nearly fell to the ground!
The three young girls stared with their eyes wide open. Their expressions were exactly the same as Chen Niannian's!
They were all dumbfounded. Because at this moment, the image that appeared on the computer screen made them doubt their eyes. They could only see two rows of data displayed on the screen:
Peter's winning percentage:
— 7,451 wins!
— 1 loss!
"Oh my God!"
"Something's happened! Something big has happened! "
"How is that possible!"
"What the fuck is going on?"
"PeterGo lost?"
"Holy shit! Peter lost? "
Everyone in the room was screaming!
