Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 73 Alpha Go
Although Yunyi originally had a computer room, there were many students using it, so students often had to queue up. Moreover, the computer configuration was very low and it only had a few specific uses.

Not to mention that if you play online chess in the computer room, there will be a lot of people watching. If you let Yi Zheng act as a human arm to play chess for Mr. Ke, neither his name nor the chess records can be hidden at all.

I guess within two days, a teacher will come up to me and ask, "Yi Zheng! Are you the legendary online chess god?! It seems you've been pretending to be a rookie all these years! It must be hard, playing chess with these losers every day."

It is very risky for minors to go to Internet cafes. It is said that because the mayor's son was caught by his father in an Internet cafe, there was a strict crackdown on minors going online during that period, and Yi Zheng had no way to commit a crime against the law.

After arriving in the capital, we were unfamiliar with the place. Management was stricter when traveling with a group of children, and we had to report in advance if we wanted to go out. Therefore, Mr. Ke’s wish to play online chess was never fulfilled.

Until now, I finally have my own house and computer, and all the problems have been solved.

Mr. Ke looked at the computer and began to murmur softly: "One bag of rice has to carry several floors, one bag of rice has to carry two floors, one bag of rice is too much, I will wash the bag of rice! Who will give you a bag of rice!"

Yi Zheng opened the computer software and introduced it to Mr. Ke: "There are many online Go platforms in the world. In order to compete with each other, they have even signed professional players as resident players. In short, you can only play online Go on their platforms.

Currently, the world's largest software platform is Muyehu, produced by Emperor Penguin, China's largest internet company. More than half of the top ten players in the world are resident chess players from their platform."

Hearing the name of this internet company, Mr. Ke couldn't help but complain: "Your penguin, does he want people to top up their Q coins?"

"what?"

"It's okay, just keep talking."

Yi Zheng was accustomed to Mr. Ke's habitual outbursts and complaints, so he briefly introduced the functions of the website to Mr. Ke.

The Muyehu website has a grading system for users' Go skills, which is divided into K and D levels. The lowest is 18K to 1K, and after reaching D level, it is 1D to 9D, with 18K being the lowest and 9D being the highest.

However, the difference between 9D is the biggest. Amateur 6th dan is at this level, professional 9th ​​dan and even world champions are at this level, but these people have special marks on their accounts.

For example, there will be an icon with the number 67 for Industry 6 and Industry 7, professional players have a badge with the letter P, the national commercial competition champion has a silver trophy badge, and the National Games has a gold trophy badge. Titles will also be specially marked, and the nine major chess competitions also have special symbols, so you can know what major honors the chess players have won by clicking on the homepage.

Mr. Ke looked at Yi Zheng's demonstration and nodded. Although this Go website looked a little simple, it was small but complete and had basically all the necessary functions.

The fact that a website can be built to this level in this era shows how commercialized and professional Go is in the world.

"But it's not easy. Even if I get to 9D, I don't think many professional players will play with me. It's not fun just to play fish.

How about this, you just help me point out three or four moves on the chessboard, and then I'll play with them, otherwise it won't be difficult at all."

Mr. Ke took a look at the platform on the website and couldn't help shaking his head. Most professionals would not play against amateurs, even online.

Occasionally, some young players aiming for a dan or amateur superstars might be able to play a few games with ordinary professionals, but it is very difficult for others.

When AlphaGo played online chess and concealed his identity, professionals were still willing to play with him because the website directly gave him the world champion certification.

Although the opponent doesn't know who the world champion is, he can be sure that he is a world champion, so there must be professionals willing to play with him, thinking that someone has opened a new small account.

But Mr. Ke has no way to do this now. Even if he hits 9D to fish, he won’t be able to fish professionally, which reduces most of the fun.

However, if you maintain a super high, even 100% win rate over the years, someone will eventually notice this account, but that will take a long time. While Mr. Ke was worried, Yi Zheng was already entering his bank card number.

"What are you doing?"

Yi Zheng replied immediately after hearing this: "Recharge, this old account is a small account I applied for a long time ago. I haven't used it for many years, so it's just right for you to use.

It would be boring to play with those enthusiasts. This website has resident chess players who accept challenges, but the queue is quite long. If you pay, you can play with them in advance.

Once you've killed a few professional players and become famous, it will be easy to find a professional chess player."

Because this challenge involves fast chess and there is no review and no guiding significance, many people just want to feel what it is like to play against professionals.

When Yi Zheng was at the chess academy, he was thinking about how to let Mr. Ke play chess. Online chess can be said to be the best method at present, because now there is no need for real-name authentication or binding of mobile phone numbers online, and the account's IP address can only be checked through the official background.

The problem was how to make Mr. Ke famous quickly, and Yi Zheng thought of challenging the resident chess players.

"I'm actually paying money to coach these small-time professionals. I'm really pissed off right now."

Mr. Ke licked his lips as he watched Yi Zheng charging money. Now frying fish actually costs money.

Then I will let the other party know what kind of torture they will have to endure to accept my money.

After Yi Zheng finished recharging the money, he brought up the main page. "Don't worry, they'll give you the money back. If you win the challenge, you'll get a 1,000 yuan bonus."

However, this kind of bonus is more symbolic. Although the chess players who come to the station to accept the challenge are not strong players among professionals, it is extremely difficult for amateur players to defeat them.

And basically no profession would create a small account to challenge, after all, it is not worth it for a thousand dollars.

The last person to win this prize was Gui Wangda, which is why he is so famous in the amateur world.

"Let's think about a name first. My account still has the initial digital name."

After hearing this, Mr. Ke looked at the account and pondered for a moment. It was obvious that his original online name was not suitable for this world.

Lurk? Do I need to lurk now? Just rush to the enemy fortress and blow it up to kill them.

So what's a better name?
Mr. Ke suddenly had an idea and smiled with a malicious smile: "Let's call it AlphaGo!"

As long as artificial intelligence continues to develop in this world, Go will be a hurdle that must be overcome on the road to the evolution of artificial intelligence, and the emergence of dogs is also inevitable.

Although I don’t know what the dogs in this world will be called, and whether they will be the same as the dogs in the original world.

But the worst person right now is me, Mr. Ke!
