Hello everyone, I am the wind of heaven. Some time ago, in a group, I saw someone arguing about Go or chess, which is more complicated? Please, it's 2022, and this old dispute is meaningless.
Today, let's talk about how complicated Go really is.
1. Changes in Go
From the basic rules and essence of Go, it is actually very simple: if you run out of gas, you will die, and if you are empty, you will win. But it is precisely because of the simplicity of the rules and the lack of clarity of the goal that Go has more possibilities.
Compared to most chess pieces, the rules of Go are simple, but the strategy is complex.
The fewer the rules are set, the less constraints are placed on the player, and the higher the degree of freedom to play. This makes every game change differently.
For novices, it is necessary to put each change chart to the end in order to understand from the rules: I have achieved this goal. But it is clearly impossible to put every possibility to the end.
Black and white chess pieces, one side of the pattern, vertical and horizontal 19 lines, 361 intersection points, you can deduce infinite changes.
There are reports that the variation of Go is 10 to the 170th power, and there are also 10 to the 761st power. Either way, it's a staggering number.
As early as a few decades ago, artificial intelligence could already defeat chess masters, and it was not until a few years ago that Go was "conquered" by artificial intelligence.
2, the limits of human beings
Although artificial intelligence has pushed Go to a new height, human capabilities have always been limited.
Go tests the player's computational power, imagination and insight. Even if tencent Go opens an ordinary 20-minute game, when it is killed, it will make us anxious, enough to make us deeply appreciate the powerlessness of Go.
In Go, there is a far-sighted layout, a fight between you and me, a changing situation, and an official who must be compared.
Sometimes the dangers are rife, sometimes the wind and waves are calm; sometimes there is a flash of inspiration, the reverse trend is overturned, and sometimes it is careless and abandons the previous achievements. None of this can be fully controlled by human beings.
Go is a contest of wisdom, an artistic reflection. For thousands of years, Go has been constantly developing and changing, but it can never reach the state of perfection and perfection.
In fact, Go and chess are very complex, and neither the human brain can calculate clearly.
It's like a 150-pound girl, it must be heavier than an 80-pound girl, and it's a big deal to hold it.
But 1 ton of elephants and 10 tons of elephants, we can't hug them, because they can't hold them. You can only observe the contrast with the naked eye, or weigh it with the help of a machine.
The complexity of chess and Go is the same. From the existing data, Go has a lot more changes than chess, and naturally it will be much more complicated.
But in fact, for small human beings, it is all the same, because the human brain cannot calculate all their changes.
