Chapter 234: Responding to the Challenge

Google's challenge to Tianyu Xinghai is quite "domineering" and funny.

The general meaning is that Xiaodi, developed by Tianyu Xinghai, is not even worthy of carrying shoes for their AlphaGo. If you are brave, come and have a fair software PK.

Their "God of Dog" will kick Xiaodi's ass hard in chess.

It has to be said that foreigners always have some British humor in their expressions, especially when they face opponents they are not sure of.

Maybe in this way, they will look better when they lose and can retain some gentlemanly dignity.

Before Ma Tian knew about the challenge, there was a lot of noise on the Internet. After all, this is another PK between the East and the West. The difference is that this track is in the field of artificial intelligence.

[Support Ma Tian, ​​the great god, and kill AlphaGo for me! ]

[Xiaodi, Xiaodi, invincible! ]

In the face of such competition between countries, even if someone doubts Xiaodi again, this time they will support him.

After all, this represents the face of the country.

Even though chess has become a niche game, it has also attracted the attention of the whole people.

The official organizers of the chess world over the years also took the initiative to contact Tianyu Xinghai to discuss whether they could host this competition, after all, they have a lot of experience in hosting.

Ma Tian also learned about this from his secretary when he saw the official chess officials coming to his door.

"Google is here to challenge our Xiaodi, and use chess to decide the winner?" Ma Tian was also amused. Are these foreigners bored?

However, when he saw the video of Xiaodi saying that he could make AlphaGo a horse, Ma Tian finally understood the reason.

It turned out that Xiaodi's wall-breaking stimulated Google, making Google unable to sit still.

However, Ma Tian naturally had no reason to be afraid, and agreed straightforwardly.

He also wanted to see if Google's AlphaGo was really like what netizens said, integrating the world's historical chess masters and standing at the peak of human chess masters.

The chess officials were also very happy to hear Ma Tian's agreement, and they prepared a competition plan for Ma Tian overnight.

Among them, the opinions of several powerful top chess masters among humans, such as "alien" Wang Tianyi and "Shushan Shaoxia" Zheng Butou, were also referenced.

Ma Tian also took a closer look, but still rejected two of them.

"That human-computer competition is unnecessary, because humans can't beat computers!" Ma Tian said to Yang Shuqin, the official representative of Xiangqi.

"But our Xu Xian Xu Yinchuan has played against the computer Inspur Tissot." Yang Shuqin said, as the organizer of the human Xiangqi competition.

They still want to take advantage of the popularity and encourage everyone to play Xiangqi. It would be best if the top human chess players come out to play against each other.

Otherwise, just watching the machine competition may not only fail to have an encouraging effect, but will make the audience think that Xiangqi is over, because no matter how they play, they can't beat the machine.

Besides, there should be a possibility of playing against each other with the backhand.

After all, Xu Xian played against each other in the past, and Wang Tianyi, the alien who is now ranked first, is also a master who uses software to practice in recent years and often plays against software.

Ma Tian shook his head at Yang Shuqin's answer and said, "It's not that I look down on our human masters, but the gap is too big. The Inspur Tiansuo you mentioned can't be compared with the current AlphaGo, let alone Xiaodi!"

This is because outsiders don't understand technology at all. If he remembers correctly, the Inspur Tiansuo was produced in 2006. According to Moore's Law, the integration level doubles every 1 to 2 years.

The gap between Inspur Tiansuo and AlphaGo is greater than the gap between dogs and humans.

AlphaGo can directly crush the computing power of 10,000 Inspur Tiansuo.

Moreover, with his IQ and memory, he was beaten by Tianji, not to mention other humans.

Therefore, in his opinion, the man-machine competition is a completely inevitable outcome. Don't deliberately make things difficult for humans. What if he can't hold on for 13 rounds and is beaten by the chess master and collapses and cries.

Yang Shuqin pursed his lips, but finally did not insist and decided to cancel the man-machine competition.

"Also change this rule. Machines don't need to think for so long. Only 3 seconds of calculation time is enough. Even if the game ends in a tie, the winner will be determined by who takes less time!" Ma Tian added.

Theoretically, if the machine calculates for a long enough time and has a large enough memory, it can calculate all the changes, but Ma Tian will not let the machine calculate for so long.

In a real machine competition, speed is also crucial in addition to winning or losing!

"3 seconds?... OK, I'll go back and modify it." Yang Shuqin was completely defeated. He naturally came into contact with strong software, but he had never seen a strong software that kept thinking for 3 seconds.

Strong software requires complex chess games, and it is common to think for dozens of seconds or even minutes.

He really didn't know what to say, so he could only agree without thinking. He didn't dare to disobey Ma Tian.

Google looked at the game rules handed over and nodded in agreement. They didn't think 3 seconds was a big deal, and in the end, what mattered was who took the shortest time besides winning or losing.

The two parties agreed, and the chess official also boldly announced that Google was challenging Tianyu Xinghai's chess, and the title used was also very domineering.

"The Strongest Chess Software Showdown in History"

This title is also full of gimmicks, whether you like chess or not, you all paid attention to it.

Some netizens who love chess asked those professional chess players what they thought of this software competition.

Wang Tianyi answered with his nose pinched as usual: "How do I see it? I stand and watch it!"

"Lao Wang, do you think you can draw with them?"

"The chance of winning after the opponent is almost 0, but there is a slight chance if you win first."

Lao Wang's answer was quite modest and a little confident. After all, he has been ranked first for three years and has won the national individual championship twice.

Shushan young man Zheng Bu Tou's answer was a little emotional. After all, his reputation as Zheng Lao Er was given by Lao Wang, who was a software master. He also suspected that Wang Tianyi cheated with the software, and later even carried a jammer to participate in the competition.

"What's so good about software competitions? After all, chess was developed by humans, and it is mainly played by humans."

"Can the young man beat the software?" a netizen asked.

"It's not like I haven't beaten someone before."

It has to be said that Zheng Lao Er was very resentful. Although he didn't say who it was, people who follow chess competitions know that he was talking about Wang Tianyi.

It also made netizens happy, but there are still many netizens who say that Zheng Lao Er is bragging. After all, how can a person beat the software? Even Wang Tianyi only dares to say that he wins with the first move.

The arrogant Zheng Laoer ignored him.

Time soon came to the day of the competition. Google engineers Rickard, Olena and others also came to Tianyu Xinghai with equipment connected to AlphaGo.

Looking at the appearance of Tianyu Xinghai's headquarters building, Olena couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "It doesn't look that good?"

Compared to their Google headquarters building, the building built by Tianyu Xinghai is indeed a bit ordinary
