GO: I and AI are evenly match

  "The upper left is the Great Avalanche.

  The lower left is the Demon Sword."

  Looking at the two familiar chess patterns, Ying Jie touched his chin.

  These two were very famous patterns before the AI era, and were known as the three most complex patterns in the old era together with the Great Slant.

  However, except for the Great Slant, which still has a certain vitality in the new era, the Demon Sword and the Great Avalanche have basically been eliminated.

  But in this era, it is still the most commonly used complex pattern, and because there are too many variations, it is difficult to exhaust them.

  If you make a slight mistake, the Great Avalanche will bury the wrong party with a boom.

  The Demon Sword will also hit the wrong party's heart without hesitation, killing it with one blow.

  Therefore, professional players generally do not use this pattern casually, because once there is a change that has not been studied, it will hurt others and themselves.

  Professional level, or at least close to professional level chess skills.

  It should be at least the level of a junior dan, but why run to this fish pond to fry fish?

  Ying Jie looked at the changes on the chessboard and felt a little strange.

  This kind of city-level middle school league, to a certain extent, is not even an amateur competition. What is the point of this level of players playing this kind of game?

  Fried fish doesn't even count.

  Ying Jie participated because this competition is the fastest way to get an amateur certificate. The requirements for the dan tournament in this world are under 18 years old and must have an amateur 5th dan certificate or above. Apart from this, there are no other restrictions.

  If you want to get a certificate through a normal exam, you have to take the exams one level at a time, which takes too much time and cost.

  The cost-effectiveness is too low for Ying Jie.

  Ying Jie had to do it.

  However, Ying Jie really couldn't understand why the other party wanted to participate in this kind of competition. It can't be for the 1,000 yuan prize for the champion, right?

  Even if it is 2008 now, the contracted units of professional players should have a minimum salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month.

  "I give up..."

  The main general of Yizhong trembled and put two chess pieces on the chessboard, and admitted defeat.

  It was too desperate.

  From the beginning to the end, there was no chance at all. He was killed and blown up by others. Except for a chess piece in the corner, there was no piece alive in the whole chess game.

  Looking at the expression of the main general of Yizhong, it can be described as a broken heart.

  This is also the reason why professional chess players are not allowed to participate in amateur competitions, because they are not at the same level, which can easily make amateur players lose confidence.

  "Your performance is not bad, but you have not studied the opening enough. The changes of the big avalanche and the demon sword are ever-changing. It is not enough to memorize a few common changes.

  Don't rely on rote memorization, but integrate them. Your level can only be considered a half-baked chess player at best."

  The captain of Tzu Chi Middle School smiled and cleaned up the chessboard, pointing at the captain of No. 1 Middle School with a condescending look.

  "You are a young man who is going to be a dan, right?!" The captain of No. 1 Middle School looked at the smug opponent, gritted his teeth, and said unconvincedly.

  "Sorry, no."

  "How is it possible, you are so weak..."

  The captain of No. 1 Middle School didn't believe what he heard, but he was interrupted by the opponent before he finished speaking.

  "I am a professional first dan, Wan Fang first dan, and I officially became a professional chess player three months ago."

  Professional chess player?

  Ying Jie was a little surprised to hear this. When did professional chess players appear in such a competition?

  "Professional? How can a professional chess player like you participate in such an amateur competition?!"

  China has a clear rule that professional chess players cannot participate in amateur competitions.

  Because the gap between professional and amateur is too big, even for a chess player like a professional goalkeeper, it is like killing a chicken to deal with an ordinary amateur 5th dan.   

  Only amateur 6th dan players have a chance to compete with professionals.

  To put it in a metaphor, professionals are like celestial beings in fantasy novels, while amateur 6th dan players are like scattered immortals.

  Either they are awarded the 6th dan certificate based on their strong strength, or they fail in the dan ranking tournament but rank high. Players who are only one step away from the professional world.

  Wan Fang, a first dan player, looked at the somewhat exasperated No. 1 Middle School's main player and said in a nonchalant manner: "The rules of the competition don't say that professional players can't participate in the competition. This is a middle school competition, and it can't be called an amateur competition.

  The rules of the competition say that as long as you are a local junior high school or high school student, you can participate. When you go to college in the future, maybe the other university's Go team will have a world champion. You can't accept this?" The

  No. 1 Middle School's main player glared at Wan Fang fiercely, not knowing how to argue with him, and then turned directly to the referee.

  It seemed to be a reaction to the situation. After all,

  it was already a bug in the competition for professional players to participate in such a competition.

  Looking at Wan Fang, who was humming a little tune and cleaning up the chessboard, Ying Jie shook his head and returned to his position.

  If the opponent does nothing, he will play against this professional first-dan in the next game.

  In the original world, Ying Jie played many games with professional players, and even won against professional fifth- and sixth-dan players by chance.

  But this is probably the first time he played against a professional player in this world.

  Ying Jie didn't know that the old man he played against some time ago was a professional player. Although he has read many chess records of professional players in this world, he can't really understand the strength of the opponent without playing games.

  This is an opportunity for him to better understand the Go in this world.

  Ying Jie returned to his position and took a look at the chessboard. The opponent had already placed all the pieces.

  Block.

  It's a bad move after thinking for a long time. Not only did he not keep this corner alive, but he also lost the first move.

  Ying Jie shook his head, picked up a piece and put it on the chessboard. He didn't choose to kill it by force, but let the opponent live.

  He didn't want to make his opponent doubt his life by bombing a fish. There was no need.

  He really has talent and virtue.

  After placing all the pieces casually, Ying Jie continued to turn.

  In the city-level middle school competition, the quality of the players was uneven. The better ones were in the fifth grade, and the worse ones were pure novices like Xiao Lu.

  For example, the main player of Mingde Middle School should be a novice, and he was killed by the avalanche.

  On the other hand, the organizing committee, which received the news, held an emergency meeting.

  After all, professional players participating in such a competition are no different from full-level players running to the novice village to slaughter.

  Before the competition, the organizing committee did not expect it. It was like holding a youth mathematics competition. Who would have thought that a Tsinghua Youth Class would come to participate?

  The result of the discussion was to wait for the results of the other three games before making a decision.

  If all the other three games were won, Tzu Chi would naturally be eliminated, and everyone would treat it as nothing happened and tinker with the rules of the game next time.

  But things did not go as planned, and Tzu Chi won 2:2.

  The organizing committee also found Wan Fang privately and tactfully proposed that they could give Wan Fang something to withdraw from the competition, but Wan Fang refused righteously.

  Participating in such a competition can only be regarded as exploiting loopholes and being scolded.

  However, if they were to withdraw from the competition for money, it would be a big deal and they might be directly stripped of their professional qualifications. Of course

  , Wan Fang would not agree to this. Faced with this result, the organizing committee had no choice but to admit defeat. It didn't matter who won, so they just took it as a lesson.

  But after the news spread, it was a different story for the participating teams. There was a lot of grief on the field
