In the second half of 2015, a generation of "Afa Dog" developed by a team at Google was finally born as scheduled, and just like in real history, in the first match against the European chess player Fan Erduan, the newly born generation of dog won by 5 to 5.

Sweeping the European champions with a score of 0.

Because the Yanqing information communication channel had been established long ago, Li Xiangping knew the news a little earlier than most people.

And since this happened in his previous life, he was naturally not surprised.

But when the news slowly spread, well, not to mention how big of a sensation it was, but at least by the end of this year, "Afa Dog" became one of the hot topics in the entire society.

Yes, it is not limited to the Go world, this is a topic outside the circle.

It's very normal to get out of the circle.

After all, for so many years, "Go is the most complex chess game in the world."

The above statement is still accepted and recognized by the vast majority of people in the world.

Not only ordinary people recognize it, but other chess peers also seem to recognize it.

For example, "If aliens really exist in this world, and aliens play the same board game as us, I believe this game must be Go..."

Li Xiangping didn't know until very late that the person who said the above "famous quote" seemed to be a world chess champion in real history.

Precisely because Go is recognized as the "most complex", Go has the meaning of the "last fortress" of mankind.

Eighteen years ago, when Kasparov lost to IBM's "Deep Blue", the fortress of chess was conquered. The fortresses of Chinese chess and other chess games were also conquered one by one by modern technology.

During this period, Go seemed to be the only game that stood out and was not conquered by modern technology.

Go seems to be helping mankind hold on to its last traditional position.

It is precisely for this reason that the news of the birth of a generation of Afa dogs has become a hot topic in the entire society this winter.

Of course, the first one to bear the brunt is the Go community.

A few years ago, the best Go computer program was beaten by humans by nine pieces, which meant it was still an entry-level program for humans.

Not long ago, a "primitive dog" created by the Japanese was said to have defeated Japan's Masaki Takemiya or Yoshida Ishida in a 4-player game.

So according to this standard, it can be considered that this "original dog" in Japan has reached the level of human amateurs.

This is already a big improvement and deserves special mention.

Who would have thought that before everyone had time to digest the news, the news that Afa Gou defeated Fan Erdan had already spread, which of course shocked the entire professional chess world.

You must know that although Fan Erduan is far away from the professional front line, he has won the European Championship. His level was actually swept 5-0 by Alfa Gou. Even if you don't want to, you must admit that this Alfa Gou has at least reached the level of a human being.

Professional level.

So everyone began to rush around to look at the five chess records, wanting to see how Fan Erdan lost.

After studying the five chess records, the reactions of most professional chess players were actually similar to those of Li Xiangping and Lao Shigang when they saw the chess records.

The generation of dogs at this time will never "look up to the mountains" and will only think that they are ordinary and have many inexplicable mistakes.

However, the technology community knows the power of deep learning and has foreseen the evolution speed of a generation of dogs. Therefore, when news came from Google that it had invited South Korea’s Lee Sedol to compete in the next Wuban chess human-machine battle, the technology community unanimously believed that Afagou

The odds of winning are even greater. The last bastion of Go is about to be conquered by technology.

Then the chess blind people and fake chess fans also started making noises.

Professional chess players listen to the outside world with a complicated mentality.

Only in Go, they naturally know more than others, but professional chess players also know that the trend of technological development is also unstoppable. No matter how complicated Go is, it will be conquered one day. It will be conquered just like chess was conquered by "Deep Blue"

.

But no matter what, everyone always hopes that this day will come later.

Just like everyone builds a fortress, or treats something as a fortress, although everyone knows that the fortress is actually useless.

Even the ultimate mission of a "fortress" is to be conquered.

But since I chose to use it as a fortress, I always hope that it will be conquered later.

So some professional chess players began to speak out in the media, or technically analyzed the five chess records, pointed out the shortcomings of the first generation of dogs, and then cautiously made predictions that Lee Sedol would win the man-machine confrontation.

Yes, most professional chess players are cautious in their predictions. Not only at this time, but also in real history. After all, in this circle, people like Ke Shaoxia are considered the best, and there are very few professional chess players with such personality.

But it's useless. Chess illiterates and pseudo-chess fans won't read those technical analysis articles, so during this period, it's more like these two groups are having a carnival.

However, Go is still very niche, which means that in this world, the vast majority of people who are illiterate actually make up the majority, so their voices are the mainstream.

New Year's Day of 2016 is coming soon, and with the date of the first season of "Man vs. Machine" being finalized, Lee Sedol is about to take on the challenge of a generation of dogs. The debate about who loses and who wins has been enduring, and the popularity of related topics has remained high.

As the undisputed overlord of the current professional chess world and even considered the "strongest in history", Li Xiangping was of course invited to speak out and predict the next outcome.

To be honest, Li Xiangping most sincerely does not want to make this prediction.

Because he is also a professional chess player, when facing the machine, he emotionally sides with Xiao Li and hopes that humans can win.

Especially after reading those 5 chess records, he thought that if Fan had not played second-dan, and Xiao Li had played at that time, the probability of Xiao Li winning was very high. But Li Xiangping knew very well that according to the evolution of dogs

Speed, then after the Spring Festival, Xiao Li will compete with a generation of dogs again, and if he still predicts that Xiao Li can win, he will definitely be slapped in the face.

Of course Li Xiangping didn't want to be slapped in the face, so he chose to post a Weibo post as his own voice.

"Come on Xiao Li, good luck Xiao Li" is the core content of Li Xiangping's Weibo.

"Come on Xiao Li" is actually Li Xiangping explaining his position. Well, as a human professional chess player, of course he will stand by Xiao Li this time, hoping that he can defeat the machine.

As for "Xiao Li's good luck", it is actually a subtle expression of not being optimistic about Xiao Li.

It is precisely because I am not optimistic that I wish you good luck.

The Spring Festival of 2016 passed quickly, and the communication between Xiao Li and a generation of dogs soon came. At this time, Li Xiangping was eager to solve another mystery----

He knows that the current generation of dogs can still learn human chess games, but now that he has traveled through so many years, he has already brought so many dog ​​tricks.
