Chapter 52: Long Consideration
Chapter 52: Long Consideration
Time goes back to two minutes ago.
Ni Jue, who was in the chess game room, felt a little weird at this moment.
When this game just started, he was quite impressed with his junior sister and wanted to test Rui Zhao's ability to see what level this little-known pretty girl had reached and when she could become a professional player.
Then...after trying, he found that something was wrong.
This is amateur level?!
I’m afraid she can even walk sideways in the lower levels of women’s competition!
Logically, Ni Jue would know someone of this strength, but he really had no impression of Rui Zhao.
Where did this little girl come from? !
Ni Jue's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
Actually, in the Go world, the difference in chess skills also has a bit of a "uncanny valley" effect.
When someone's skill level is much lower than yours, when you play chess against him, you will find him very cute, just like a kitten showing its baby teeth at you.
When a person's strength level gradually approaches yours, you will feel that this person is not as elegant and easy-going.
Although Rui Zhao could not really threaten Ni Jue at the moment, Ni Jue knew that his slow moves just now had handed the initiative to Rui Zhao. If he continued to play the game like this, he might not be able to win.
In fact, if it was just a daily coaching game, if he gave up the game first, then he lost. He, Ni Jue, would not be as embarrassed as a certain senior 9th dan player named Lei.
But... there is a camera next to the chess piece today!
He is a double title holder, but he lost to a young girl who has not even been promoted to a professional professional just by giving up the first point. This whole process was recorded by cameras, and God knows where it will be shown!
After thinking for a moment, Ni Jue decided to take something out.
It would be too grand for the notary office to come and notarize the document, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
So in the last small corner that had not yet been opened, Ni Jue decisively placed his piece on the star position and touched it.
In the era of AI, this simple and rough touch is no longer considered as purely irrational.
Rui Zhao began to respond naturally, but halfway through her response, she suddenly heard the sound of the other party drawing a knife.
Here... even one hand is pulled?
Logically...shouldn't it be longer here?
Rui Zhao subconsciously wanted to break the streak as a punishment, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
No, that's not right!
It was generally believed that the continuous pull was not possible because after the break, the opponent had to deal with the isolated unit outside, and the inside also felt frustrated and was greatly affected.
But this game of chess is different. In this game, Ni Jue has already built external forces in the other three corners. My attack on them may not be effective. Instead, I am divided into two sides. The inside is the opponent's iron chess pieces, and the outside has to fight with the opponent when the opponent has the external forces advantage. The opponent seems to be a solitary piece, but in fact, it is divided into two, and the center is blooming. I am afraid it is very disadvantageous.
However, if we keep giving in here, the opponent's local snake will stick its head out, not only will we take out our corners, but we will also be able to form a large gap with the strong force on the left side, which will be very bad for us.
Rui Zhao immediately fell into deep thought.
Since the emergence of AI, many of the empirical rules that Go players have spent thousands of years studying have been overturned and denied, and the one that has been most criticized is the "thick momentum".
In the era before AI, most studies believed that thick-footedness and solid-footedness each had their own advantages and disadvantages and were overall on par.
The actual situation is considered to be a safe bet, and the thick situation has a higher value in terms of echoing the appearance and attacking assistance.
However, once AI came out, everyone soon discovered that compared to the illusory external forces, AI pays much more attention to the actual situation.
The reason is very simple: real space is real space. Even a powerful AI cannot make a living hole in other people's real space.
But if external forces are to be effective, many more conditions are required.
It is said that it echoes the overall pattern and facilitates attacking isolated pieces... but it is full of uncertainty to achieve the goal. Many times, if you make a wrong move, your goal may be a thousand miles away, not to mention that it takes at least a dozen moves for the equal thickness to play a role, and it is not an exaggeration to say a hundred moves.
AI often fluctuates in the face of such a long process, let alone humans with flesh and blood? If they make a mistake, they will fail.
However...Ni Jue made this move that the AI in the research did not think was promising without hesitation!
And if you look closely, it really makes sense!
...
At the same time, Ni Jue, with his sword drawn, looked down at the chessboard, wondering how Rui Zhao would respond.
Objectively speaking, he still felt that Rui Zhao would most likely be cut off directly.
This punishment is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
According to the AI's analysis of the winning rate, if this move is not made, the winning rate can generally be reduced by 7 or 8 points!
But AI is not the god of Go.
And people playing chess are not AI.
If Rui Zhao follows the guidance of AI in all her thinking... hehe, then I will have to teach her a lesson today.
However, what Ni Jue expected did not happen.
Even... nothing happened.
After Ni Jue made these moves, Rui Zhao went into a state of deep thinking, staring at the chessboard, almost motionless.
Sure! You know you have to be careful here!
Ni Jue secretly praised him, and then he began to study the subsequent changes of his move. Although he had done a lot of research and preparation for this move, it was well known that no one dared to say that they could fully control the flying knife of Go.
The wooden fox has thousands of changes!
But even so, Ni Jue never expected that the girl in front of her would be more determined than her.
This long thought actually took eighty minutes!
For more than an hour, the girl was like an extremely delicate doll, staring at the chessboard, only occasionally blinking her eyes to tell of her anger.
Eighty minutes for each move, this is considered an incredibly long period of time in contemporary Go!
As a result... Rui Zhao is so patient for just one game of chess?
Ni Jue couldn't help but secretly marvel at it. Just when he began to lose focus, the beauty in front of him finally moved.
Even though more than an hour had passed since her last move, the girl's movements were still simple and elegant.
folder!
Well... I didn’t spend more than an hour thinking about it in vain!
After seeing this move, Ni Jue exclaimed in his heart again - he didn't know how many times this had happened since the game began.
The move Rui Zhao made was exactly the best response he had figured out under the current circumstances.
Junior sister is really talented!
But how high it is... we still have to wait and see what happens next.
Ni Jue lowered his eyelids and continued to fall.
...
...
"...Brother Ni, you scored 76 points, and I scored 70 points. I lost this game! Thank you for your guidance!"
After nodding, the girl withdrew her hands, sat upright and bowed her head again.
Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission!
Ni Jue breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Hmm... I now know why the master suddenly accepted you! You are very talented!"
"what?"
Rui Zhao was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled awkwardly, and his whole person suddenly returned to his innocent and romantic state:
"I don't really have any talent, I just work harder than others..."
Work harder than others?
What kind of Versailles speech is this!
Ni Jue raised his eyebrows, thinking that Rui Zhao was just being modest.
He spent three or four days studying the flying knife in this game before he figured out the main variations.
As a result, after only thinking for eighty minutes today, Rui Zhao decisively chose the best response, and there were only two minor mistakes in the subsequent changes, which only resulted in a small loss of three points.
The reason why he was able to win as many as six points today even though he gave up the game was mainly because Rui Zhao was short of time afterwards. At the end of the middle game and in the key stages, he was forced to slow down due to time constraints, which led to his miserably lost.
If this is called a lack of talent, then Lei Qi can only be said to be so-so, and only Lin Ruixin has a little bit of talent...
More importantly, Rui Zhao is a girl!
If this talent is placed in a woman, it would be even more outrageous...
While Ni Jue was thinking, the girl continued to talk:
"... Well, Senior Brother, you are really amazing. I let you win first and still lost so much...
"If I had known, I would have done the same as when I went down with Lei Qi and given up two pieces!"
Hehe, this is a must! It's a rare occasion that I miss out on my family's wealth!
Even if Xiao Lei came by himself, I'm afraid he might not get anything good... Eh?
Ni Jue smiled rather complacently and was about to say something humble, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
“Hey, wait!
"You said you played with Xiao Lei with two pieces in your handicap? But why have I never heard Xiao Lei mention that?"
In Ni Jue's opinion, Rui Zhao was a genuine low-level professional player, but for some reason she had not yet been promoted to a professional level, and she was so beautiful. If Lei Qi had played against her, there was no reason why he had no impression of her.
"Because he downloaded it online, and just a few days ago, he didn't have the time to tell you!" Rui Zhao explained very naturally, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.
"Oh! That's not surprising. If it was downloaded online a few days ago, then... no, wait a minute!"
Ni Jue suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.
"Rui Zhao...are you [You Feng Lai Yi]?!"
Well, I have to say that I was optimistic yesterday.
I went to Tieba and looked at the data of cities that entered the second round in the past, and suddenly I felt like a small scumbag.
But the good news is...this way I don’t have to worry about the fourth update?
It can be considered a consolation (laughs)
