On March 15, Google Alpha Go and Lee Sedol's human-machine battle of Wufan Chess ended in the fifth game at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul, South Korea. Lee Sedol lost the black mid-set, and the score of the two sides was finally settled as Alpha 4-1 victory. Although Lee Sedol lost the overall score, the excellent performance of the last two sets still won back the dignity of mankind.

(Yangtze River Network reporter Zhang Yingying) The world's attention to the "human-machine war" of Go ended in the victory of robots, further exacerbating people's worries about the future. Today, the reporter interviewed the upcoming Wuhan first "Yuhuang Guoxue Cup" Go Competition and "Yuhuang Culture Go Team" Selection Tournament Head Coach, Hubei Go First Person Ruan Yunsheng believes that China's traditional Go culture is broad and profound, and robots cannot be fully surpassed in a short period of time.

The "Alpha Dog" is just a triumph of the go craft

Anyone who plays Go knows that the difficulty of Go comes in large part from the huge changes behind the 19X19 chessboard. The AlphaGo "Alpha Dog" developed by Google is a brand new artificial intelligence machine or computer. The strength of the computer is infinite "calculation" - it is said that "Alpha Go" has 150,000 professional chess players, millions of amateur chess players, 30 million self-playing games, its Go information has been preserved to the end, and the calculation speed is lightning. In layman's terms, the "alpha dog" calculates all the possibilities in every move, and then makes the best choice, which is not only fast, but also accurate - not subject to all kinds of interference from the outside world and state.

From this point of view, it is only a matter of time before the "alpha dog" defeats humans, but it is only a victory in The skill of Go, "the cultural essence of Go is invincible", said Zhu Lixin, executive director of the organizing committee of the first "Yuhuang Guoxue Cup" Go Competition in Wuhan and deputy general manager of Yuhuang Culture.

Go is not a purely intellectual game

Go originated in China, but the exact time is difficult to verify. The black-and-white and square chessboard form of Go is very similar to the cosmology of ancient Chinese. Black and white are the simplest colors in the world, and everything can be classified as "yin and yang" (black is yin, white is yang). The chess pieces are round, the chessboard is square, the "heavenly circle place", and each step is the unity of "the sky is round and moving" and "the place is quiet".

The Chinese tradition conveyed by Go is vast and profound, and it is amazing. In the eyes of 10,000 people, there are 10,000 kinds of Go - philosophers taste the principles of life of size, trade-offs, and thickness, and military experts experience the "Thirty-Six Plans" from them, and educators spread the growth path of quietness, respect, and facing setbacks.

Go is also known as "hand talk", and its biggest charm lies in the fact that it meets opponents and communicates with people. Chess looks at the character, chess can know a person's temper, disposition, mood and sorrow, understand his habitual movements, feel the killing in his eyes. Without the paper fan gently shaking, without shaking the head, without the "spoon" that is painful to break the liver and intestines again and again, the fun of the game will be greatly reduced.

With the rise of professional Go in China, especially the rise of the China-Japan-South Korea Three Kingdoms Go Tournament, the world of Go has become more and more prominent in winning and losing, and Go is no longer a cultural activity, more like an intellectual game. When Go and "culture" are stripped away, the transcendence of robots becomes quite simple.

The Wuhan Go Tournament should inherit the study of Chinese culture

Ruan Yunsheng, head coach of Hubei Provincial Go Team, Secretary General of Hubei Weiqi Association, Standing Committee Member of China Weiqi Association, and his disciples Zhong Wenjing, Lu Jia, Li Zhe, etc. have won many honors at home and abroad, such as leading female team members to represent China in the World Women's Team Championship and win the championship, Li Zhe won the third place in the first Wisdom Games, and led the team members to win individual and team championships in national competitions for many times. Ruan Yunsheng is still constantly cultivating and paying for the cause of Go, and deals with Go all day long. He felt that Go is the sport that best embodies people's philosophical thoughts, and it is not only compared to chess skills, but also the sum of all aspects of people's qualities. Business has a way of business, chess has a way of chess, being a person like chess, the simplest way it can let you understand what are the rules, and then gradually understand the philosophy of life, let you learn what is patience, why should you give up small and big, how to put yourself in the right position to know yourself and know each other and so on.

"The combination of Go and Sinology in this competition is an innovation and a return to culture," said Luo Junnan, chairman of Hubei Yuhuang Cultural Heritage and Development Co., Ltd. In addition to its exquisite skills that need to be learned, there is also a thick culture to be inherited and carried forward. This competition will strengthen the exchange and inheritance of Go throughout the event, and enhance the Go skills and cultural literacy of Go enthusiasts.
