Just when I was thinking about how to become the richest man by losing money, a message alert came from my phone.
"Huh?" Brother Biao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the message.
"What's wrong, Brother Biao?"
"Here comes the work!"
…
Hua Guo Chess Club.
"Good morning, Teacher Kong!"
"morning!"
"Teacher Kong, come on for tomorrow's game."
"Oh, thank you!"
"Lao Yang, are you free today? Let's play a round."
"Okay, I'm instructing the newcomers. I'll be there in a moment."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
Carrying a cup of wolfberry tea, he came to his seat and sat down. The middle-aged man, known as Teacher Kong, habitually opened the Xinlang Go game platform to pass the time.
"Someone is coming from the professional area!"
"Amateur sixth-dan level, looking for a comparable opponent!"
"Cute newbie, please help me."
"Dugu Qiubai, use a fast Internet connection and give me 2 pieces!"
"Haha, I won five games in a row and got promoted!"
"There will be a live online broadcast of the professional game in the afternoon, who can watch it together?"
"Don't watch. Those two professional players are both newbies and their level is limited. There will be a professional ninth-dan Master Kong Jie competition tomorrow. It has been booked!"
"Kong Jie? His style is too standard. I'm worried about Li Shifu's stormy zombie style attack tomorrow."
"Li Shifo of the Southern Peninsula? This guy is really too strong. If I remember correctly, Kong Jiuduan has lost nine consecutive games against Li Shifo, right?"
"Master Kong Jie is indeed not as good as he used to be."
"Yes, boxing is afraid of young people. After all, I am getting older."
Kong Jie's mouth twitched. He wanted to relax before the game, but he didn't expect to be hit hard as soon as he came up...
Stare at the one who says he is older.
Just when I was about to post a battle message to let the other party know which one is ginger or hotter, the friend information column on Penguin started to vibrate with a "didi" sound.
He casually clicked on it and looked at it. It was his friend Lao Hu.
The two used to play chess together when they were young.
Later, one joined the chess club and the other embarked on an official career. Although they had completely different lives, they still maintained contact as chess friends.
I looked at the information and saw a URL link inside...
"Has your account been hacked?"
"No... there will be a surprise when you open it, remember to choose 50-50!"
Kong Jie had a question mark on his forehead.
What's 50/50?
With a trace of doubt, he clicked on the link, and then a Go game webpage called "Star Array" appeared on the screen.
"Go versus AI?"
Kong Jie is no stranger to playing chess with robots.
But compared to the cold-blooded AI, he still prefers to compete with professional chess players of the same level.
After all, it is difficult for humans to learn anything from the robot's method. The computing power of both parties is not at the same level. If you insist on imitating it, you may not be able to even compete with sixth- and seventh-level players.
But since it was something sent by an old friend, he had an attitude of doing everything he could, casually registered an account, and clicked in.
"This opening scene is quite amazing... 50-50 mode? Is this the surprise that Old Hu is talking about?"
Kong Jie clicks to enter.
Black moved first. Kong Jie picked up the mouse and made a move while drinking tea.
Five hands.
Ten hands.
Thirty hands.
He didn't feel anything at first.
It's a very normal opening and a very conventional move. There is nothing new or special about it. It even makes people feel boring, because it is all a routine and neither party takes advantage.
But as it rained, Kong Jie felt that something was wrong.
"This black chess piece... seems to be imitating my way of playing chess..."
Bengeliu is good at looking at the overall situation and balancing the ability, and pays attention to one step at a time. This has always been Kong Jie's distinctive personal style.
Therefore, some people on the Internet refer to Kong Jie's ninth section as "Kong Benge".
However, Kong Jie suddenly discovered that he was at a disadvantage in the chess game he was best at.
Nothing could be seen at the beginning of this game, but after the fiftieth move, the advantage accumulated by the opponent through slight gaps step by step has put himself at a complete disadvantage!
He was making every move to gain ground, but the other party was pressing forward step by step...
Kong Jie suddenly became serious.
However...it's of no use.
After the middle game, the gap between the two sides was quite obvious, and Kong Jie had no choice but to admit defeat.
It's not that he can't continue playing, but that he knows that his hope of winning this game is too slim.
【If you want to surpass others, you must first break through yourself.】
Kong Jie looked thoughtful as he saw the words that appeared on the screen after admitting defeat.
As a top professional player, Kong Jie's sensitivity to Go is definitely far superior to that of Hu's father.
He couldn't wait to start the second game.
The result was still that they were quickly won by the opponent's accumulated advantages after the middle game.
Kong Jie's face became a little solemn.
How should I put it? From the "speed" of playing chess, the opponent should be a robot.
But from the "temperature" of playing chess, the opponent gave him a strange "human" feeling.
It's just that this "human being" has a stronger overall view than him, and a "step by step" that is more unbreakable than him.
It's as if the person opposite is also a chess player, and one who is not inferior to him in terms of "honge-ryu" attainments...
A stronger self?
[Have you seen it? The biggest enemy in life is not others, but yourself...]
This sentence seems to be a commentary on myself at this moment.
Yeah, how long have I been stuck in my own bottleneck?
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw hope of breaking through the bottleneck...
In the third game, he began to let go of his arrogance and seriously figured out his opponent's moves in each game.
The so-called "50-50 open" actually does not mean that you have a 50% winning rate against everyone.
In the zero setting, players in the first two games are bound to lose.
After that, only by breaking through your original limitations, learning from your failures, and improving your chess skills can you have the possibility of "winning".
And every time you win a game, "Star Array V5" will slightly increase the difficulty, putting you in an ideal learning state of "continuous pursuit".
Relatively speaking, if players who are below the professional level want to make progress, perhaps a routine or a fixed formula will suffice.
Therefore, as long as such people are aware of their weak links and learn from them, they will often feel that they have made considerable progress in a short period of time.
This gives them motivation to keep playing.
For professional players with higher ranks, winning or losing is no longer exciting to them. If they want to make further progress, they must truly break through themselves!
Just like passing from 0 to 60 points, as long as you are determined and use your brain, it is basically not difficult.
But from 90 points to full marks, every point requires several times of effort!
"Lao Kong, I'm here, look at us..."
"go out!"
"ah?"
"I'll tell you."
"Didn't you ask me to feed you tricks?"
"I have found a better opponent. I am going to retreat today. No one can disturb me!"
"Well……"
…
“Boss, just one day after it went online, the number of users of our ‘Star Array V5’ has been on the rise, and user usage time and user stickiness have also increased significantly!
I just read the reviews on our official website, and most of them are full of praise for our update!
The topic of scarves is also on the rise..."
Hu Yifei looked at the handed analysis report and smiled.
Where did this go?
After testing, Hu Yifei is full of confidence, so the originally planned AI competition... can almost be put on the agenda...
"Boss, where did you find the development team? This is amazing!"
"To be honest, I want to know too, but people will come over today..."
"ah?"
"Dong dong!" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then the secretary walked in.
"Boss, the guest you were waiting for has arrived!"
"Quick! Invite them in."
However, when Hu Yifei saw the two people walking in clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The team of witchers...
No wonder it's called this.
This appearance, this physique... it really looks like a "witcher"...
"Young Master Hu, right? We are the spokesperson of the Demon Hunter team and are fully responsible for the cooperation between the two parties. My name is Cheng Biao..."
