The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

“Luo Qiu’er…”

Although most students went to watch Bai Yongye and An Ruotong's match, a few still gathered around.

Thinking about it carefully, her record in Group A this month is 16 wins and 4 losses, ranking fourth, which is about the same as usual.

Of course, in Group A, which consists of dozens of players, getting fourth place is a very strong achievement.

However, not many people are paying much attention to her…

Of course, it's not because she has a low profile or anything like that. Luo Qiu'er usually has a very gentle and kind younger sister image in the dojo.

However, because Qiu'er's playing style is so conservative, even if she loses, everyone will think it was an accident.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

It was like the sound of a drop of water hitting a boulder, crisp and beautiful.

"I can hear it... I can hear it so clearly today."

Luo Qiu'er slightly opened her sapphire blue eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

pat...

Her white piece landed on the star point in the lower left corner of the board.

pat.

Ji Yingting placed her black stone without hesitation, creating a small star shape.

Star with small eye, misaligned with small wood, facing small eye, back to small eye, two stars in a row.

Excluding the eye-out, high eye, and three-three lower methods, these five are the most basic first two moves.

Ji Yingting probably won't go for the two-star route; if she's going for the outer route, it's better to go for it as the first one.

Therefore... it's easy to identify small stars.

I can hear her, I can hear everything about her.

Luo Qiu'er narrowed her sapphire blue eyes slightly.

Boom! A roar, like a meteorite crashing into the ocean and creating towering waves, rang in Ji Yingting's ears.

Luo Qiu'er's white piece landed on the board, two spaces... a small eye was raised high.

………………

Um……?

Hey?

At that moment, not only did Ji Yingting slightly furrow her green eyebrows, but the four girls who were observing also looked somewhat surprised and uncertain.

What does this mean? Has anyone in the dojo ever played Go like this?

"Senior Sister Qiu'er might be killed by the teacher!!"

A girl with long gray hair looked around in panic. Luckily, the teacher wasn't there today.

Especially considering the opponent is a professional Go player, this is clearly looking down on them.

Ji Yingting paused for a second before gently putting down the black chess piece in her hand and placing her hands flat on her knees.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a few strands of greenish-blue bangs fell across her eyes as she slowly fell into thought.

The move of placing two small eyes high in the middle is not uncommon.

Typically, after Black uses the Kobayashi style opening, White will often use this tactic to restrict Black.

Because the distance between the small eyes and the small eyes is very far, there is no need to worry about being attacked.

Of course... as I said, that was under the premise of Kobayashi's strategy.

At this moment, this was only the fourth move in the game. Luo Qiu'er hadn't even occupied a corner, but instead made a move that placed two spaces high.

"Is the professional player thinking? Luo Qiu'er's move is indeed very strange, but all she needs is the small knight's move, right?"

The girls watching the game began to whisper among themselves.

With her cherry-like lips slightly parted, Ji Yingting slowly opened her pale purple eyes, taking in Luo Qiu'er's expression across the starry sky.

Luo Qiu'er... seems to be smiling.

What are you laughing at? You'll be crying in a minute.

Ji Yingting tossed her long, light green, Hime-style hair and pretended to be annoyed as she picked up a black chess piece.

Thud, the piece falls, a small knight's move on the outside.

In the development of Go, there has never been a fixed, absolutely correct way to play the opening moves.

Sometimes, it really depends on the player's mood.

…………

"Change, should we change? Let's change... At this moment, in this instant, I can hear clearly for the first time in a long time... everything about us."

Her sapphire blue eyes narrowed slightly, and Luo Qiu'er's snow-white hair fluttered up, covering her ears.

A stream flows, and water droplets wear away stone.

Once she takes this step, there's no turning back. She will become an absolute being in the dojo, that is... a god.

Actually, I would have preferred to show this to Shang Gongying or Ma Gongling.

Unfortunately... if it were Ji Yingting, she wouldn't be able to win no matter what, right?

call……

Exhaling a puff of steam, Luo Qiu'er closed her eyes slightly.

From the moment he saw her expression, Ji Yingting knew what Luo Qiu'er wanted to do...

During the middle of her professional exams, Shang Gongying finally broke free from the constraints that had bound her in the game.

Suppressing the growth of a game's momentum has serious consequences; once it fails, there is no way to recover.

Of course, that release also created the fox spirit Shang Qiqi.

Success requires a switch, and for them, that switch is Ji Yingting.

"Honestly, everyone's ignoring me."

Ji Yingting shook her long, light green hair helplessly.

Luo Qiu'er wanted to find a strong enough chess player so that her chess situation wouldn't get out of control.

.......

boom!!!!

The next instant, a beam of light blue light shot straight into the sky from the tip of Luo Qiu'er's long white hair, like a tsunami.

A watery luster shimmered on her eyebrows and pupils, and invisible ripples slowly expanded outwards, enveloping her entire body in a misty haze.

The ribbons formed by the flowing water enveloped her body, and the ripples of the tail flame resembled a long wave.

The watery light made her long white hair stand on end, her pupils turned into pure blue, and her white eyebrows were the color of the ocean, covered with flowing water.

Giant waves obscure a hundred miles, while narcissus descends upon the land.

Luo Qiu'er's voice was very gentle, like snowflakes falling from the sky, as she spoke softly.

Chapter 337: Ji Yingting's Move

Hundreds of years ago, after AlphaGo was born, many other terrifying AIs emerged.

Golden Retriever test, DeepZenGo developed in Japan, Alpha Source.

Octopus Go, Phoenix Dog, and Tsinghua University's AI Calculator [Star Array].

And... FineArt, a Go program under Tencent, which can even rival AlphaGo.

This is an unprecedented shock to the Go world. Of course, because Go is so complex, most AI tests are conducted using Go as a benchmark.

This phenomenon has actually increased the attention given to Go, rather than leading to its complete defeat by Deep Blue, as was the case with chess.

Of course, in that era, it was already a fact that artificial intelligence was superior to humans.

However... in that era, a professional Go player said something like this.

"Is Go... really over?"

Are human chess players really weaker than artificial intelligence?

If it's weak, then why is it weak?

Is it due to the species?

Is it due to computing power?

Are humans too weak?

Is it because artificial intelligence is too perfect?

If they are too perfect, why do the two AIs sometimes win and sometimes lose?

If it's not perfect enough, why let an AI play against itself and still win or lose?

That's because...

At that time, the young professional chess player did not say why, because she did not know either.

However, from then on, she embarked on a path of fighting against AI.

She underwent medical surgery to induce amnesia, causing her brain to revert to that of an infant.

The only thing left in the young Go player's memory... is Go. As a professional 9-dan player, she subconsciously still remembers how to play Go.

One plate, two plates, three plates, ten plates, one hundred plates...

This is not the number of games she lost against the AI, but the number of games she won.
