Baduk players re-evaluated with the advent of artificial intelligence

Among the Japanese Go players in the 1800s, there was an article called ‘Honinbo Shusaku’.

It is considered the best article of its time, and there is a paving stone that was mainly used.

If Shusaku is black and the opponent approaches on a daily basis after initially placing a small point rather than a hot point,

Like the black 7, paving stones made of garlic hair are often placed, and these paving stones are called ‘Shusaku-ryu’.

And the garlic hat move was named ‘Shusaku’s Garlic Hat’.

In modern times, considering Black’s advantage in going first, 6.5 points are given to White as a bonus.

At that time, there was no concept of bonus, so such a defensive move was possible, but in modern times, many people think that since there is a bonus, we need to be more aggressive, so we did not use that move.

however…

Artificial intelligence is said to have a bonus, but that number is good.

And it has been studied again with artificial intelligence and is often used by professionals.

In particular, after the artificial intelligence recommended 33 Jeongseok, many members were placed to prevent 33 Jeongseok.

Those garlic caps are being actively used.

This is what the paving stone looks like in the bottom right corner of yesterday’s match.

For reference, it also appears in Hikaru’s Go (Ghost Go King) starting from episode 1.

The reason is that, according to the cartoon setting, before the ghost (Sai) meets the main character, there is a substitute baduk player first.

Honinbo Shusakura is a setting

In the comics, Sai is the number of artificial intelligence haha.
