Chapter 237 It’s No Use Playing Dirty
Olena finally asked Google to extend the time, and wanted to change the 3-second thinking time to 20 minutes for a normal chess game.
Yang Shuqin looked at the blond foreigner in front of him, and never thought that there would be someone who would change the rules of the game on the spot.
However, after a little thought, he guessed that the foreigner might feel that he lost very badly, so he decided to "play dirty" and change the rules temporarily.
He thought about it and said slowly:
"This matter should not be changed, but as the host, we will also consider your request. We will communicate with Tianyu Xinghai here.
If they agree, we can change it. If they don't agree, we can't do anything about it!"
He didn't agree immediately, but he didn't spoil the foreigner either, just said that he would communicate with Tianyu Xinghai.
"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Yang!" Olena thanked sincerely, and he felt embarrassed that he could puff up his face to come here.
If he was asked to talk to Tianyu Xinghai directly about changing the rules, he would really find a cave to hide in.
Zheng Shijian was a little surprised to know this, but he soon figured out what the foreigners were thinking.
They just wanted to take advantage of the time and let the machine software think longer to make better moves.
He agreed to this without hesitation.
The foreigners may think that if they think longer, AlphaGo will not lose so easily, but Zheng Shijian thinks they are "seeking their own death" and losing in a more humiliating way.
Both parties agreed to modify the rules. As the organizer, Yang Shuqin naturally had no objection and asked the female host to announce the modification of the rules on the spot.
This temporary modification of the rules also caused a small commotion among the audience.
"Why change the rules? Did Google cheat because it couldn't win by playing fast chess?"
"Hahaha, Google got scared. Indeed, it didn't last two minutes. It was such an ugly loss!"
"As an amateur chess player with a score of 8-1, I think playing slow chess is definitely disadvantageous to Xiaodi. After all, there are only so many steps in chess. If you think long enough, you might end up in a tie!"
...
The audience and netizens had a heated discussion, but it was basically confirmed that Google cheated because it couldn't win, and they booed Google immediately.
Rickard and Olena debugged the equipment and changed the code, just pretending not to hear it.
Because the game was reviewed for half an hour, the time came to 11:10, so the game was simply moved to the afternoon, which gave both sides time to change their strong and soft codes.
The audience in the live broadcast room was still a little reluctant to discuss there. Anyway, the live broadcast room was not closed, so they just talked to each other in the live broadcast room.
"Who will win in the afternoon? Will AlphaGo make a comeback?"
"What the hell, I think Xiaodi will just beat that dog!"
"I don't know, Xiaodi I still like, but AlphaGo is famous, there should be something, Tianyu Xinghai shouldn't agree to change the rules!"
"Shave your head, shave your head, 10-0 to send AlphaGo home!"
...
The time soon came to 1pm, and both sides debugged the code. This time it was the normal chess move time, but if it was a tie, it still depended on the final time.
The one with the shorter final time would definitely win!
Google had no objection to this, as long as they didn't lose in less than 2 minutes.
At 1:10, the game officially began.
The first few rounds continued to be a quick start with swords and swords. After all, the layout at the beginning must have been studied by the machine, there was no absolute advantage, and the computer didn't need a long time to think.
In the middle game, AlphaGo took the lead in long-term calculations, thinking for a full minute before making a move of knight 3 to 5, while Xiaodi made a cannon 7 to level 3 in seconds.
Then AlphaGo began to hesitate to make a move and started thinking.
There were more comments in the live broadcast room, at least many chess fans who watched the game had time to think and comment.
"AlphaGo continues to jump the knight, I can see it!"
"What the hell can you see? There is a deep meaning behind his knight move. It is probably a thirteen-step sacrifice of the knight."
"Damn, it is obviously a thirteen-step sacrifice of the general."
...
The comments were also full of joy.
The two grandmasters, Wang Tianyi and Tangdan, finally had time to explain the strong and soft moves.
Wang Tianyi was seen scratching his nose with his hand as usual. Thinking that this was a major event watched by many people, he retracted his hand and said with a lingering feeling:
"The red side AlphaGo should be slightly disadvantaged. The position of the knight is not good, and the bottom elephant is also aimed at by the black side Xiaodi's cannon."
Tangdan: "Wang Teda is right."
...
"Should the black cannon be fired? Although a cannon is lost if it is fired, with the offensive, the opponent's knight may be eaten back and then lose an elephant."
Tangdan: "I also think it is better to fire the black cannon."
...
It must be said that Wang Tianyi is worthy of being the number one chess player. Xiaodi really fired the black cannon and hit AlphaGo's elephant as he said.
AlphaGo thought for a few minutes before using the elephant to fly away the cannon, and then Xiaodi killed the 2nd car in, aiming directly at AlphaGo's knight.
The live broadcast room saw that the situation was as Wang Tianyi expected, and also deducted a wave of 6.
Compared to Wang Tianyi's prediction and analysis, Tangdan agreed a little more. Sometimes we have to admit that there is still a little difference between men and women.
Including the chess track, the ceiling of women is still not as good as the ceiling of men.
Just like the national football team, many people think that the men's football team can't even beat the women's football team, but the women's football team themselves admitted that there is a huge gap with the men's football team, and they can't win in physical confrontation.
The game continued to develop. Xiaodi's abandoned cannon really opened the offensive, and AlphaGo was a little overwhelmed.
The thinking time also increased from 1 minute to 2 minutes, and there was even a move that took 5 minutes to think before moving the chess piece.
And Xiaodi still moved in seconds!
Rickard and Oleina were sweating profusely in their seats. Why is the gap so big? Not only is it a disadvantage, but they can't beat others in terms of thinking time.
What is Xiaodi's underlying algorithm like, and how is Xiaodi trained?
The two foreigners really felt the dimensionality reduction attack from Tianyu Xinghai's technology. When did Rabbit Country quietly go so far in artificial intelligence?
Finally, the total time was 20 minutes, 36 seconds and 28 seconds, and the game ended. AlphaGo's 20 minutes had been used up.
In other words, excluding the 20 minutes spent by AlphaGo, Xiaodi actually only took 36 seconds and 28 seconds.
This data is too desperate. Rickard and Olena slumped in their chairs, and they didn't know what to say.
But there are still 7 games, and they will be ravaged seven times!
