AI is the master, the teacher, and the partner
- Is AI software a panacea?
Xie Yimin: For example, the means under AI sometimes do not match their own chess style. Even if the AI shows that "this hand is the correct solution, compared to other means, the winning rate is higher", but the latter means can not play itself is meaningless. So thinking about this, we must consider how to learn chess according to AI software, which is also our own problem.
Aimi Ueno: If you can't play the first candidate, the second candidate may be a game that matches your own style of chess. Even if the percentage given by the AI is not the most ideal, this move is the most likely to win the game for oneself. So I don't think "the choice of AI display is the most important".
- Is AI software a "god" existence for you?
Aimi Ueno: Not so much a "god" as it is a master or a teacher to me. I now use several AI software, and there are even AI I call "predecessors".
Fujisawa Rishi: What is the "predecessor", which AI?
Aisa Ueno: "Star Array" is my "predecessor", and then the OpenGo V1 version of "ELF" is more cordial to me than my predecessors, so it is my "friend". And "KataGo" is a close friend than it is. There is a feeling of "you can go anywhere you go", which gives me many candidates.
Xie Yimin: So AI is like your partner.
Aimi Ueno: Indeed, I think the word partner is more precise.
——More than 20 years ago, when many of the top male chess players played against each other in the title battle, after the end of the fierce game, the two sides were still in a state of hostility after the game. But the three of you seem to have a very good relationship.
Aimi Ueno: I usually call Rishi Fujisawa Sensei "Risai Pontan"? I'll keep it for now)", but I use "Teacher Of The Dish" when the title battle is played. I have regarded Rishi Fujisawa as an idol since I was a child, and now when I am interviewed, I am between "Riko Pontan" and "Riko Sensei".
Risato Fujisawa: Aren't they the same person? It feels like you're saying I'm a "two-faced" person. (Laughter from the audience).)
Aisa Ueno: After losing chess, I felt that I admired Fujisawa's teacher, but after a while, in my heart, I gradually returned to the level of "Risai Pontan".
Risato Fujisawa: Once I start a game, I concentrate on the game in front of me, so it doesn't matter if the relationship is good or not in front of the game. Of course there is no problem in talking before the game, or not saying anything at all. It doesn't matter to me because it doesn't affect my playing chess.
Xie Yimin: In official matches, etc., when the game is played, they will face the chessboard and play chess well, and once they leave the chessboard, they will return to the relationship of good friends. Sometimes when participating in world-class team competitions, the 3 of us often compete together. When they were in the ring, the other two people cheered on their teammates, and at that time, they cheered their teammates until they were about to burn. So sometimes when they participate in other competitions, they will naturally support both of them.
Among the female chess players, young players have emerged
It is now said that there are several female chess players in the age group between the ages of 10 and 13, who are called "geniuses".
Risai Fujisawa: This includes young chess players such as Nakai, including those who have not yet become professional chess players, but they are all very powerful.
Zhongyi and I met when we were about 4 years old, and she was very aura at that time. At that time, Zhongyi was already able to think deeply about chess.
-----------------
Fujisawa Rishi: When Nakae was 10 years old, she was older than when she was 11 years old. In terms of strength, I feel much stronger than I was then, and now the female chess player has improved very quickly as soon as she sets the stage.
Aimi Ueno: Now that the strength of young chess players is getting closer and closer to their own, I also feel quite terrible. Obviously, he was also desperately trying to learn chess, and his state was not bad, but he lost to Zhongyi in March this year. At that time, I was still holding my head and complaining: "What should I do now", but now my mentality has been adjusted to "don't give up and continue to work hard".
Xie Yimin: The amount of learning for children now is really great.
Risato Fujisawa: Although we don't know how much they learned, we can see from the aura that they have learned a lot.
Xie Yimin: Today's children's learning time is not only long, but after using AI software, their learning chess has become more efficient.
"Having a certain strength and maintaining self-confidence is the most important thing"
Do the top female chess players, including your junior players, have a chance to win the world championship in the future?
Xie Yimin: My words have not left a good result in the World Series at present, and I believe that the next two will have a good performance against the world's top chess players. In addition, their junior chess players are also very good at learning, and I believe that they can have good results.
Of course, if it is strength alone, it may be a little reluctant to compete in the World Series. If you don't have enough confidence, it may still be difficult to win. I'm looking forward to how my juniors will perform at the World Series in the future.
