Go Legend Chapter 172

Chapter 172 is already on the right path

The penultimate round of Weijia, Li Xiangping, who has won several games in a row recently, is full of confidence. He thinks he can wrestle with the first-class masters, but he was thrown a pot of cold water in the game with Gu Dali. Not only did he lose this game of chess, but he basically had no decent chance to lose the whole game, especially in terms of strength, which was completely suppressed by Gu Dali.

After losing the chess game, Li Xiangping was depressed, because after this game, he not only deeply felt the gap between himself and the first-class chess players, but also because he lost this game, his team also became 1 to 3 lost to the Yamashiro team.

Because they didn't get a single point in this round, the whole team was on the verge of being relegated again. At present, among all 12 teams in the perimeter, they are ranked second from the bottom, with the last round left in the game. In this case, it can be said that they have stepped into Wei B with one foot.

After the game, Li Xiangping was silent for a long time.

But fortunately, after looking at the current standings and the matchup in the last round, Li Xiangping found that there is no way out. If the last round is successful, their team still has hope of relegation.

Because in the last round of the competition, they happened to meet the Pingmei team currently ranked third from the bottom. MO＜Dong Jiajian 

This year's relegation situation is like this: In addition to the last one who has been relegated, another relegated team will be created between them, and so far, the Pingmei team has only 1 point more than Li Xiangping's team.

Seeing such a score, Li Xiangping felt a lot of pressure.

You must know that the competition system of the Weijia is different from many other competitive events. There is a special "main player wins" rule, which means that two teams have 4 games. If it is 4 to 0 or 3 to 1, then the winner is all Take 3 points, minus 0 points.

If the two teams are tied 2 to 2, it depends on which one is the leader. The winning side will get 2 points, and the losing side will get 1 point.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a rule that it is completely conceivable how important Li Xiangping's game was in the final round. It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Xiangping loses in the last round, then his team will be relegated more than 80% of the time, and if Li Xiangping wins, they have more than 50% hope of relegation.

After the penultimate round of the siege competition, the time has come to September 2002. After this month, the international competitions are still busy, and most of the competitions have been getting better.

For example, in the first half of this month, Li Xiangping will go to Japan to participate in the "Toyota Cup" quarter-finals, in the middle of the "LC Cup" quarter-finals, and at the end of the month and early October, it will be the "Samsung Cup" quarter-finals and the "Toyota Cup" quarter-finals. Cup" semi-finals started in a row. Although there are so many important competitions, before going to Japan to participate in the "Toyota Cup", Li Xiangping is still thinking about the final round of the armor competition.

Because this game is the last round, the closing ceremony is after the competition, so the game time is postponed to late September, and it is precisely because there is still sufficient preparation time, so Li Xiangping pulls down and asks his plug-in for advice. Now, ask him if there is any good way to quickly improve his calculation ability.

However, what Li Xiangping did not expect was that when he opened his mouth to his cheater, Lao Shi answered him like this:

"Road calculation? I think Xiaoyou Xiangping's road calculation ability is very good, and there is no need to use other special methods to improve it."

Well, what should I say about Lao Shi? If it was Li Xiangping from a year ago or half a year ago, then he would definitely be complacent when he heard this, and he might even be overwhelmed. However, he is different now, especially since he has just been taught by Gu Dali to be a human being, making him realize his lack of ability to calculate the way, then he is even more dissatisfied with Lao Shi's answer, and feels that his cheating is obvious. Is perfunctory yourself.

Li Xiangping said to himself with a black face: "Brother Ding'an, don't be perfunctory. You have seen this game. I'm not bad at calculating the way? It won't be in your eyes, I only deserve to have such a way to calculate the ability. ?"

"This"

How can I say it? After all, the two have been together for several years, so of course Shi Daqisheng also heard it. Li Xiangping seemed to be coming this time, so he paused for a while and decided to seriously discuss this issue with Li Xiangping. :

"As a little friend Xiangping, since you talked about the calculation of the game in Go, let me ask you first, in your opinion, what is the calculation of the game in Go?"

"this"

This time, it was Li Xiangping's turn to choke. Don't look at him talking about calculating the road every day, but if he really wants to give him an accurate definition of the word, he really doesn't have that ability.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiangping replied: "This, this, I thought the calculation path of Go is more complicated, but this is actually a complex, which can be divided into two types: real calculation path and virtual calculation path. I don't know how to say it. Anyway, I personally think that someone who can count how many steps at a time, the so-called "counting a thousand hands" may not necessarily be able to say that he has a strong ability to calculate the way."

"However, I very much agree with Xiaoyou Xiangping's statement. As you said just now, the calculation path of Go is divided into real and false. The road is only the foundation, and the imaginary route is more important, especially in high-level duels, the decisive role is often the chess player's imaginary route."

Li Xiangping nodded after listening, and he still agreed with Lao Shi's words. Regarding the "virtual calculation path" in Go, Li Xiangping personally understands that it is the kind of "calculation path with judgment". As for why this kind of calculation path is more important? In fact, not long ago, Lao Shi won Liu Changhe's game of chess in the "Fujitsu Cup" final, which may be a better illustration of this problem.

In that game of chess, Liu Changhe mainly lost in two places, one was the "jian rush" in front of him, and then the "letting and killing" method behind Lao Shi, not to mention the previous "jian rush", Just talk about the offensive and defensive battle in the back.

In the later offensive and defensive battle, will Liu Changhe's ability to "actually calculate the road" be worse than that of Lao Shi? Objectively speaking, of course, there is no such thing. For example, Liu Changhe actually counted those specific means to contact his base camp later.

The only thing he didn't count at the time was that after his big dragon escaped, he was still behind. No, judging from his later moves, it wasn't that he didn't count it, he just counted it a little late. However, it was such a small gap that caused the big dragon in his game of chess to be slaughtered and ended in such a tragic way.

Of course, when we say "he didn't count" here, in fact, a more accurate description would be "he didn't judge when calculating the specific means", "he didn't judge", and this kind of calculation with judgment , which is often referred to as the "fake road".

If you really want to say it, in fact, "not judging" is nothing. After all, if you "not judging" in a game, it will only affect the game of chess. What is really scary is that you judge when you are calculating, but you But "judgement is wrong", or simply "can't judge", which is often the culprit of losing chess.

Don't think that professional chess players will not make mistakes in judgment. In fact, in Li Xiangping's view, it is also normal for professional chess players to make mistakes in judgment.

When Mr. Wu Qingyuan was competing with Japanese chess players for 10 games, he played 10 games in total in 20 years. Among them, there was an old man who played the most with him, and he played 3 times in total. However, this dude lost very badly in the end, and was finally beaten by Mr. Wu to "Ding Xian". This dude is the first Japanese Mr. Fujisawa Tomosai to pass the competition and hit the ninth dan.

Don't think that Mr. Tonzai Hito Fujisawa is a rookie. In fact, his level is very high, especially his strength, which even Sakata Eio has to be convinced. In addition, his nickname is "Dumper", so from this nickname It can be seen that he was famous for his strength and calculation ability in the entire Japanese chess world at that time.

Then why didn't he beat Mr. Wu Qingyuan? In Li Xiangping's memory, there is such a clip of the game that year may be very telling.

Fujisawa Tonzai played ten chess games with Mr. Wu for the second time. In one of them, Fujisawa Tonzai made a super strong move in the middle game. That move aroused the amazement of many masters watching the game, thinking that move counted the way. It is far-reaching and fully worthy of the title of "breaking a thousand hands". Not only that, Fujisawa Tonzai's series of moves after that super-powerful move is even more exquisite. After N rounds, Fujisawa Tonzai's strategic goals and strategic intentions seem to have all been realized.

But when everyone was ready to cheer for Fujisawa Tonzai, a low-level chess player who was serving as the scorer of this game at that time said weakly:

"Why do I feel that Mr. Wu's real space seems to be a lot ahead"

This is the gap between Fujisawa Tonzai and Mr. Wu Qingyuan.

This is actually the difference between "real calculation path" and "imaginary calculation path" in Go.

Li Xiangping even believes that after Go has reached the professional level, the ability to distinguish the level of professional chess players is largely reflected in the calculation of the road (of course, in the case of Lao Nie, the ability of the calculation of the road is still not enough. However, chess players who have completely abolished martial arts should be excluded).

And this point of view that Li Xiangping thinks is actually more obvious after the birth of the Go AI in later generations. Where is the gap between humans and machines? It is generally accepted that the biggest difference in later generations is actually the difference in judgment, that is, the difference in the "imaginary road". On the contrary, from the perspective of the "actual calculation road", the gap between humans and Go AI is not that big.

Having seen those dog tricks that embody the "virtual calculation path" of Go AI, sometimes I feel that the previous judgment level of humans is simply naive and ridiculous.

It can be said that it is precisely because Li Xiangping has seen the dog tricks of later generations that he is so eager to improve his calculation, especially the level of virtual calculation.

However, what Li Xiangping did not expect was that when he asked Lao Shi for advice on this issue again, Lao Shi still said that.

Shi Daqi said to Li Xiangping with a smile:

"Xiangping little friend, you don't have to think of any special solution now, you need to know that you are already on the right path."

"Um?"
