Shi Yu didn't expect that she would see Gu Linchuan again in this way.
As an AI engineer at Xingyi Technology, her task was to make the Go AI "Yuanyi" learn to play chess like a human. The "human teacher" designated by the company was the last person to defeat AI in a human body five years ago - the man she had escaped for five years.
At the entrance of Linchuan Chess Academy, she stood under the half-dead osmanthus tree and rehearsed her question to him dozens of times. The door opened and he walked out, wearing the same washed white shirt and still looking lazy.
He looked at her and his first words were: "You have lost weight."
Five years ago, she was a talented girl in the national team, and he was the most dazzling star in the chess academy. She wore the cloud he gave her on her wrist and never took it off for a day. Until the night before the Ying's Cup, she stood at the door of his room and saw him studying her chess records on the computer - next to it was the AI analysis window. She stood there for three minutes and he didn't look back. She lost the game the next day, announced her retirement, bought a train ticket to Shanghai, and never touched a chess piece again.
She thought he had betrayed Go and her.
Only after they reunited five years later did she learn the truth.
Now, she needs him to teach the AI to "play chess like a human." He needed her to walk out of that door that had been closed for five years.
Intention: Some chess games are more important than winning - such as the game played with people who want to play chess.
