Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Tears of Times

  Ying Jie guessed correctly and played black first.

  Under the current Chinese rules, playing white has a slightly greater advantage from the perspective of Ai.

  However, there are still many chess players who are used to playing white or black. The winning rate seems to be higher when playing white or black. Of course, most chess players have a higher winning rate when playing white.

  For example, the famous world champion has talent but no virtue, and his winning rate is higher when playing white. He even has the title of rarely losing to Bai Jie, and almost created a record of being undefeated when playing white in a certain year.

  Therefore, there will be a joke about world champions practicing guessing first in later generations, and there is also an interesting story about the former No. 1 player in China and South Korea before the time travel that whoever plays white will win.

  However, a 10% winning rate, such a one-eye difference in the opening advantage, is basically non-existent in the eyes of humans, and humans cannot perceive it at all.

  Ying Jie took the black chess piece and put it on the star position on the upper right without thinking. This move shows respect.

  Qi Zhenxi almost didn't think about it, and the star position on the lower left corner.

  In the first four moves, both sides occupied two corners.

  In Go, there is a saying that the corners are golden, the edges are silver, and the belly is grassy. Simply put, Go is a game of enclosure. The least chess pieces are consumed in the corners because there are two edges as support, which is the most labor-saving.

  Looking at the two star positions occupied by the opponent's white pieces, Ying Jie did not think at all.

  The fifth move, click three three.

  "Click three three?"

  Qi Zhenxi couldn't help but said after seeing this move: "What did your teacher teach you?"

  In the chess theory he knew, the earlier you play the star position "click three three", the more you lose.

  There are 19 lines and 361 intersections in Go, nine of which are marked as points. The middle point is called Tianyuan, and the rest are called star positions.

  People who usually play chess will first play the star position at the corner, or the small eye or high eye next to the star position.

  Among them, the star position and high eye are more focused on creating momentum, and the control over the corner is not too strong, while the small eye has a good control over the corner, and accordingly, the influence on the outside world will be weaker.

  The star position itself is to gain momentum, and clicking three three is basically equivalent to helping others develop momentum.

  But from the perspective of chess theory of this era, there is nothing wrong with Qi Zhenxi's idea.

  However, Ying Jie's chess is not the chess of this world, nor the Go of this era.

  Ying Jie, male, 24 years old, no, it should be said that he is 14 years old in this life, a time traveler who is saturated with all worlds.

  In the original world, Ying Jie in 2023 is still a young man who is trying to become a Go player. When he was a child, he studied in the Go Dojo because his father liked Go. However, Ying Jie did not like playing chess when he

  was young, especially the strict teacher who would really beat people and the boring life day after day. Ying Jie went home after less than two years in the Dojo. Later, Ying Jie was like most ordinary children. Although he lost his schoolbag for two years, he quickly picked it up in elementary school and was admitted to university at the age of 17.

  Ying Jie, who was in college, came into contact with Go again by chance. Go, which was so boring and painful when he was a child, made Ying Jie addicted to it when he was in college.

  Black and white, power and territory, attacking the enemy and taking care of oneself, giving up pieces to get ahead, giving up small things for big things, and giving up when in danger. The extremely mysterious black and white world made Ying Jie indulge in it. It

  made Ying Jie, who was in college, embark on the road of a young man who wanted to get a dan again, but there were only endless failures on the road to the next four dans.

  Even though he was infinitely close to victory before.

  But in the end, he lost the most crucial game, which was also a game that he could have won, which led to his failure to become a professional.

  This is the black and white world, fair, but extremely cruel.

  Until one day, Ying Jie accidentally fell asleep while reviewing the game in front of the computer, and traveled to the current world.

  Looking at his younger self, he thought he was reborn, but although the general pattern of the world has not changed, the famous people in the world have changed.     For Ying Jie, the biggest change is that in this world, AI that can break through Go has not yet appeared.

  For Go, before and after the emergence of Go AI, it is completely two different games.

  The most obvious point is in the fixed pattern. The so-

  called fixed pattern is a way of playing in the layout stage, in which both sides do not lose.

  It is the answer that countless predecessors have been constantly exploring day by day.

  In the eyes of normal people, this is the correct answer, and if you don't write it according to the correct answer, you will be wrong.

  Because in Go, you go first and I go second, there must be a winning solution that humans cannot perceive at this stage, but it must exist.

  The fixed pattern is that in the opening stage, after countless experiments by predecessors, the best solution for both black and white is achieved by moving pieces in the corner, which is generally recognized as a relatively appropriate program, and finally forms a basic chess shape where both sides are generally stable and the benefits are equal.

  Of course, the fixed pattern is not immutable. Just like at the beginning, black goes first and white goes second, and black chess does not need to stick to the purpose. The fixed pattern developed at that time will naturally not adapt to the current rules.

  The most typical one is RB's Shusaku style.

  With the development of the times, the previous stereotypes that were considered equal between black and white are now full of loopholes.

  Because history is a spiral upward, no matter what it is, it is constantly developing, and modern people are better than ancient people, and the same is true for Go.

  Especially in the later AI era, the emergence of AI has subverted the entire Go chess theory, especially the stereotypes.

  Because Go players cannot learn the computing power of computers in the middle game, but in the layout stage, Go players can summarize and summarize the methods into stereotypes and turn them into nutrients for their own growth.

  Therefore, it is basically impossible to have any ancient chess records, and after learning, you can beat all contemporary masters.

  Unless you can really find the legendary heaven and earth.

  Looking at the young man who did not answer him, Qi Zhenxi couldn't help shaking his head. It seems that he may really have not been to the gym to receive systematic learning as he said.

  There may be incomplete cognition of basic chess theory, and the ability to win may be largely supported by the powerful computing power in the middle game.

  It is called Ao Lao Tou.

  Talented, but obviously wasted.

  The sixth move, Xiao Fei.

  Ying Jie saw Qi Zhenxi's response and shook his head silently in his heart.

  I have been playing chess in this world for a month. Although I know that the chess players in this world cannot make the correct response, I still can't help but sigh.

  Old senior, don't blame the young people for not following the moral code of martial arts.

  I am ahead of this era... 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90 steps.

  Even the cupping king in the previous life could only shed tears of the times under the torrent, let alone you.

  The seventh move, long.

  If I remember correctly, the winning rate here has dropped from 62% to about 50%.

  Of course, humans cannot feel this kind of fluctuation.

  And the opponent will also... slowly die in this imperceptible fluctuation.
