In the second round of the last round of the escort, Li Xiangping, who recently won several games in a row, was full of confidence. He thought he could already fight with first-class experts, but he was thrown into cold water in the game against Gu Dali. Not only did he lose this game, he also had no decent chances to lose in the whole game, especially in terms of strength, he was completely suppressed by Gu Dali.

After losing the game, Li Xiangping was depressed because after this game, he not only deeply felt the difference between himself and first-class players, but also because he lost this game, his team also lost to Shancheng Team with a score of 1-3.

Because they didn't get a single point in this round, the entire team has been on the verge of relegation again. Currently, among all 12 teams in the A team, they rank second to the bottom. With the last round left in the game, it can be said that they have stepped into the B team with one foot.

After the game, Li Xiangping was speechless for a long time.

Fortunately, after looking at the current points ranking and the final round of the matchup, Li Xiangping found that it was finally a perfect match. If the last round was played well, their team still had hope of relegation.

Because in the last round of the game, they happened to meet the Pingmei team, which is currently ranked third from the bottom - this is a real relegation battle, and it is a relegation battle that does not need to look at the faces of other teams.

The relegation situation this year is like this: except for the last one who has been deemed to be relegated, another relegation team will be produced among them. So far, the Pingmei team has only scored 1 point more than the team where Li Xiangping is located.

Seeing such points, Li Xiangping felt very stressed.

You should know that the competition system of the AFC is different from many other competitive events. There is a special "main player wins" rule, that is, two teams compete in 4 games. If the score is 4-0 or 3-1, then the winner will get 3 points and the loser will have 0 points.

If the two teams play 2-2, it depends on which player the main player will win. The player who wins will get 2 points, and the player who loses will get 1 point.

It is precisely because of such a rule that it is completely imagined how important Li Xiangping's game is in the last round. It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Xiangping loses in the last round, then his team is more than 80% of the probability of being relegated, and if Li Xiangping wins, they have more than 50% of the hope of relegation success.

After the penultimate round of the AFC, it was September 2002. After this month, international competitions were still busy and most competitions were getting better.

For example, in the early part of this month, Li Xiangping was going to Japan to participate in the quarter-finals of the "Toyota Cup" and the "LC Cup" quarter-finals of the "end of the month and early October, the quarter-finals of the "Samsung Cup" and the semi-finals of the "Toyota Cup" started one after another. Despite so many important competitions, before going to Japan to participate in the "Toyota Cup", Li Xiangping was still thinking about the last round of the AFC competition.

Because this game is the last round and the closing ceremony is after the competition, the game time is postponed to late September. It is precisely because there is still enough preparation time that Li Xiangping pulled his face and asked his plug-in for advice and asked him if there is any good way to quickly improve his calculation ability.

However, what Li Xiangping did not expect was that when he spoke to his cheat, Lao Shi replied:

"Capital road? I think Xiangping Xiaoyou's ability to calculate road is very good, so there is no need to use other special methods to improve it."

Well, what should I say about Lao Shi? If it were Li Xiangping a year ago or half a year ago, he would definitely be complacent when he heard this, and might even be elated. However, he is different now, especially since he was taught by Gu Dali to be a human being, which made him realize his lack of ability to calculate the path, then he would be even more dissatisfied with Lao Shi's answer, and felt that his plug-in was obviously perfunctory.

Li Xiangping said to his cheat with a black face: "Brother Ding'an, don't be perfunctory. You have seen this game. I'm pretty good at calculating like this? I won't be able to have such ability to calculate, right?"

"this......"

What should I say? After all, the two have been together for several years, so Shi Daqi Sheng also heard it. Li Xiangping seemed to be here this time, so he paused for a moment and decided to discuss this issue seriously with Li Xiangping:

"In this way, my friend Xiangping, since you talk about the goal of Go, then I will ask you first, in your opinion, what is the goal of Go?"

"this......"

This time it was Li Xiangping's turn to choke. Although he talked about absolution every day, if he really wanted him to give an accurate definition of this word, he really didn't have the ability.

After thinking about it, Li Xiangping replied: "This, I think the calculation path of Go is relatively complicated. This is actually a complex, which can be divided into two types: real calculation path and virtual calculation path... Alas, I don't know what to say. Anyway, I personally think that those who can calculate many steps at a time can calculate many steps. The so-called "thousand-handed calculation path" may not be able to say that they have strong ability to calculate paths."

"Yes, I agree with this statement from Xiaopeng, as you said just now, the calculation path of Go is divided into virtual and real. The so-called calculation of thousands of hands is just a real calculation path. In Go, the real calculation path is only the foundation, and the virtual calculation path is more important. Especially at a high-level duel, the decisive role is often the virtual calculation path of the chess player."

Li Xiangping nodded after hearing this, and he still agreed with Lao Shi's words. Li Xiangping personally understood the "virtual calculation path" in Go as the kind of "judgment path". As for why this calculation path is more important? In fact, not long ago, Lao Shi won Liu Changhe's game in the "Fujitsu Cup" final, which may be better explained.

In that game, Liu Changhe mainly lost in two places, one was the "sharp rush" in the front step, and then the "sharp" method behind Lao Shi. Putting aside the "sharp rush" in the front step, he just talked about the offensive and defensive battle behind.

In the subsequent offensive and defensive battle, will Liu Changhe show worse "real calculation" ability than Lao Shi? Objectively speaking, of course there is no, for example, Liu Changhe actually calculated the specific methods to contact his base camp later.

The only thing he didn't calculate at that time was that his big dragon was still behind after escaping. No, judging from his next few moves, he didn't calculate, he just calculated a little late. However, it was just that little difference that led to the big dragon in his chess game being slaughtered and ended in such a tragic way.

Of course, we are saying "he didn't calculate it" here, but in fact, a more accurate description should be that "he didn't make a judgment when calculating the specific methods" or "he didn't make a judgment". This kind of calculation with judgment is what people often call "the path of false calculation".

If you really want to say it, it is actually nothing to "not judged" yet. After all, if you "not judged" in a game, it will only affect this game. What is really terrible is that you make a judgment when you calculate, but you "wrongly judge" or simply "can't judge". This is often the culprit for losing.

Don’t think that professional chess players will not make mistakes. In fact, in Li Xiangping’s opinion, it is also normal for professional chess players to make mistakes in judgment.

When Mr. Wu Qingyuan was competing for ten games with Japanese chess players, he played 10 ten games in 20 years. Among them, one of them played the most, three times in total. However, this guy lost badly in the end and was beaten by Mr. Wu to "decided first". This guy was the first Japanese Tomosai to play 9th dan through the competition.

Don’t think that Mr. Tomosaki Fujisawa is a rookie. In fact, his level is extremely high, especially his power, even Eiyo Sakata is impressed. In addition, his nickname is "Fighting Machine", so it can be seen from this nickname that he was famous in the entire Japanese chess world for his power and computing power.

So why doesn’t he beat Mr. Wu Qingyuan? In Li Xiangping’s memory, there may be such a clip of the competition from that year.

When Fujisawa Tomosai played ten-game games with Mr. Wu for the second time, there was one of them. Fujisawa Tomosai made a super-powered move in the middle game. The move aroused many masters' surprise, believing that the game's calculation path was far-reaching and worthy of the title of "Secret Thousand Hands". Not only that, Fujisawa Tomosai's series of tricks after that super-powered move seemed extremely exquisite. After N rounds, Fujisawa Tomosai's strategic goals and strategic intentions seemed to be realized.

But just as everyone was about to cheer for Tomosaki Fujisawa, a low-level chess player who was the notator of this game at the time said weakly:

"Why do I think Mr. Wu's real shot seems to be much ahead..."

This is the gap between Tomosai Fujisawa and Mr. Wu Qingyuan.

This is actually the difference between "real calculation path" and "false calculation path" in Go.

Li Xiangping even believes that after Go reaches the professional level, the level of professional chess players is largely reflected in the virtual calculation path (of course, in the case of Lao Nie, the ability of virtual calculation path is still there, but the actual calculation path has completely lost its martial arts skills must be excluded).

This view that Li Xiangping believes is actually more obvious after the birth of Go AI in later generations. What is the gap between humans and machines? The biggest gap in later generations is actually in judgment, that is, in the "virtual calculation path". On the contrary, from the situation of "real calculation path", the gap between humans and Go AI is not that big.

After seeing those dog tricks that reflect Go AI's "virtual calculation path", sometimes I feel that humans' previous judgment level is childish and ridiculous.

It can be said that it is precisely because Li Xiangping has seen the dog tricks of later generations that he is so eager to improve his own calculation path, especially the level of the virtual calculation path.

However, what Li Xiangping didn't expect was that when he asked Lao Shi for advice on this issue again, Lao Shi still said the same thing.

Shi Daqisheng smiled at Li Xiangping:

"My friend Xiangping, don't think of any special methods now, you need to know that you are on the right path."

"Um?"
