The time came to August 2016, and it has been more than 1 month since Li Xiaoqiang went on "Go TV". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

By this time, the heat of the man-machine war was still gone, in fact, since the battle between Alpha Dog and Li Shishi, related topics have been the hottest topics in the Go world, and all kinds of true and fake news have been circulating on the Internet.

“。。。 Google's Alpha Dog R&D team visited the China Chess Academy, according to reliable sources, Google's visit, should be related to the second season of the man-machine war, during the visit of the Alpha Dog R&D team, Nie Whirlwind and Li Xiaoqiang attended the meeting, and everyone had a great time together. . . ”

After this news appeared on the Internet, all chess fans were shocked, because unlike other fake news, this is a message that belongs to "pictures and truths".

It's just to the disappointment of many chess fans that there was no follow-up soon after that. Neither Google nor the Chinese Chess Academy has admitted that it will officially hold the second "man-machine war". Google came out directly to refute the rumors, while the statement of the chess institute was vague, just saying that related matters are being negotiated, and there is no official timetable yet...

Only a very small number of people know that this is true news. As a friend of Li Xiaoqiang, reporter Zhang Da is one of the very few people who knows the truth.

"Mr. Hu, how did you get the people on Google?"

Reporter Zhang Da asked no one else, it was Li Xiaoqiang's uncle Hu Yi.

Hu Da Tuhao waved his hand, and the words he said were full of pride: "Hey, this is a great thing, let me tell you, I am now a shareholder of Google, although I am not the kind of shareholder with decision-making power, but there is no problem in facilitating a Go game." ”

Reporter Zhang Da was stunned: "Haha, you have this method... It's really simple and crude... ”

After Hu Yi explained to reporter Zhang Da, he said to Li Xiaoqiang:

"The tournament is definitely going to take place, and it's confirmed that you're going to play, but the official time hasn't been set yet. Because Google has also improved the program, such as the problem that occurred in the fourth game against Xiao Li, they are trying to fix it. In addition, they said that they will put the improved program online for a round of testing before the official match with you, which you need to be mentally prepared for. ”

Everyone knows the meaning of "psychological preparation", what Li Xiaoqiang is about to face is an improved version of the alpha dog, a strengthened version of the alpha dog II.

"Is the format of the competition decided?" Reporter Zhang Da asked another question.

"Not yet..." When Hu Yi answered reporter Zhang Da's question, he glanced at Li Xiaoqiang deeply:

"It's still Google's meaning, and what kind of competition format will be adopted at that time will wait for the test results to come out."

Of course, reporter Zhang Da also understood the meaning of this sentence. If the future Alpha Dog II shows strong strength and everyone thinks that Li Xiaoqiang is vulnerable, then the official match is likely to be held in a hurry. On the contrary, if it is assumed that the two sides are evenly matched, the standard of the game will be high.

When Li Xiaoqiang arrives at that time, what kind of competition specifications can he strive for?

"Xiaoqiang... Reporter Zhang Da looked at Li Xiaoqiang's eyes:

“。。。 To be honest, I really hope that you can beat the Alpha Dog, and I think that among all the professional chess players, you are the only one who is the most qualified to play this tournament. But I would love to know, what's going on in your heart? Do you really think it's possible for you to win? ”

"Of course, I'm not posturing, I'm not grandstanding, I really think I have a chance to win."

"Oh?"

Facing the inquiring eyes of reporter Zhang Da and his uncle Hu Yi, Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly:

"You still remember Old Man Jin's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". ”

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer?"

Reporter Zhang Da glanced at Li Xiaoqiang speechlessly, and said in his heart that you are in your 40s, and you are still so out-of-the-box in your thinking.

"That's right, there is a bridge in Heaven and Dragon Slayer, which I think is very similar to the current man-machine war."

"Oh? Which bridge? ”

"On the top of the light, the six major sects of the Central Plains encircled and suppressed the Ming Sect, among which Zhang Wuji challenged the masters of the six major sects One of the plots that impressed me deeply, that is, the plot of the Kunlun faction and the four masters of the Huashan faction teaming up to deal with Zhang Wuji...

Zhang Wuji single-handedly picks out the masters of the six major schools, which is a very classic plot in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and I believe many martial arts fans are familiar with it. The head couple of the Kunlun faction used the "positive Liangyi sword technique", and the two elders of the Huashan faction used the "anti-Liangyi sword technique", and the four of them joined forces to fight with Zhang Wuji, and in that battle, Zhang Wuji once fell into disadvantage.

"Do you still remember, how Old Man Jin explained why Zhang Wuji fell into disadvantage?"

“。。。 It turns out that compared with the martial arts of the Western Regions and the Central Plains, the martial arts of the Central Plains are more extensive and profound, whether it is the great transfer of the Qiankun and the kung fu of the Holy Fire Order, they are all authentic martial arts of the Western Regions, and it is these two kung fu that Zhang Wuji is using now, so when he encounters the "Zheng Liangyi Sword Technique" and "Anti-Liangyi Sword Method" that represent the most profound Central Plains martial arts, he will inevitably be restrained. The reason why the 4 masters can't take Zhang Wuji is just because their skills are shallow, and the profound Central Plains martial arts can only be displayed in their hands for 3 to 4 percent at most, while Zhang Wuji's Western Regions martial arts have already learned 7 to 8 percent... ”

"Hahahaha..."

Hearing Li Xiaoqiang use this metaphor, reporter Zhang Da and Hu Yi laughed:

"Xiaoqiang, do you mean to say that the alpha dog is like Zhang Wuji, it uses the martial arts of the Western Regions, and you, Li Xiaoqiang, use the more profound martial arts of the Central Plains?"

"Isn't it?" Li Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "The alpha dog is a computer, and I am a human brain, I admit that the alpha dog is indeed very powerful, but you should not forget, no matter how science and technology progress, the computer is created by the human brain, so from a certain point of view, the human brain is always more advanced than the computer!" ”

Reporter Zhang Da shook his head and looked at Li Xiaoqiang with a smile:

"You guy, when it comes to crooked reasoning, it's always a set, don't say it, don't say it...

"Do you think my words don't make sense?"

"No, after listening to your words, I suddenly have a little more confidence in you...

。。。。。

"Why did you come forward? Why are you going to be in the limelight? ”

Since Li Xiaoqiang expressed his opinion to the outside world, countless people have asked this question, and this time, it is the turn of Yukari Umezawa. Li Xiaoqiang quietly looked at Yukari Umezawa, and now Umezawa is also in his 40s, and it is not easy for the two to go through so many years of ups and downs.

"Yukari, do you remember the chess soul back then?"

"Chess soul?"

A hint of tenderness flashed in Yukari Umezawa's eyes. When the two were very young, Li Xiaoqiang told her about the idea of "chess soul", and now, even "chess soul" has been in the past for many years.

"Yes, it's the chess soul, although the chess soul has passed for so many years, but Yukari, do you know which sentence in the chess soul impresses me the most?"

"Huh!? Do you still remember the words in the chess soul? Which sentence? ”

"Go has been around for thousands of years, and now humans have been able to go to the moon, but the umbrella is still there!"

"You mean to say that Go is like the umbrella of humans?"

"Yes."

Li Xiaoqiang raised his head slowly, and he said very firmly:

"Because the umbrella is there, I have to meet this alpha dog."
