The state Elephant’s “cheating door” continues to ferment. How can intellectual movement save credibility?
The “cheating gate” event of chess is still constantly fermenting, which not only affects the whole international chess circle, but also may have an impact on other intellectual movements including go. The origin of the incident was that Carlson lost to 19-year-old general Niman in the game in early September World Chess Championship, and the record of 53 games of slow chess was ended. After that, he announced to withdraw from the game. The two met again in another event half a month later. This time Carlson gave up and withdrew from the competition after only two rounds, implying that the other party was suspected of cheating. Things have made new progress recently. First, Carlson finally broke the silence at the end of September and made it clear that he suspected Neiman of cheating. “in our whole game of chess, I don’t think he is nervous at all, he didn’t even focus on the key situation.” Recently, a 72-page survey report completed on the chess website showed that although Niman claimed that he had cheated twice before only at the age of 12 and 16, but in fact, he has a major suspicion of “obtaining illegal help” in more than 100 online competitions. There is still no agreement on whether Neiman cheated in the confrontation with Carlson. After all, there is not enough objective evidence for the time being. However, with the continuous fermentation of this event, it reflects various topics and may even affect the foundation of chess and even all intellectual movements. The rapid development of artificial intelligence software and hardware has made human beings unable to match all intellectual sports, and even go, which is called “human intelligence strawberry on the shortcake”, is not spared. Chess with less changes has been “fallen” for many years. In the field of people and people, the artificial intelligence of “dominating the King” has been fully popularized and even regarded as a sharp tool for cheating. Previously, chess also broke out many cheating scandals. Most of the cheating methods were to use the time of going to the bathroom and to use mobile phones to receive the coping methods calculated by the off-site associates using artificial intelligence, however, this move is easy to arouse suspicion from the outside world, and mobile phones are also easy to be exposed to sight. However, if someone really wants to use other more hidden ways to transmit information, cheaters may indeed change from nobody to genius who beats the world champion in a very short time. In particular, perhaps due to the elegant tradition of this sport, the security check of the national elephant has been going through the motions, “the gentleman is not anti-villain”, and the inspection of small instruments such as bone conduction headphones is really weak. It is not accidental that the “cheating door” exploded on Niman. On the one hand, his previous rankings and achievements were insignificant. Last year, he didn’t even rank, and the speed of jump was too amazing; On the other hand, he had previous record of cheating, he only admitted it twice by himself. In addition, since Neiman’s opponent this time is Carlson, Carlson has ruled the National Elephant chess for many years, compared with the possibility of “losing” shirking responsibility, his judgment on the difference between “human taste” and “machine taste” of chess game should have higher credibility. Coincidentally, Go also fell into a similar storm. On the farm Cup three kingdoms go Challenge competition on February this year, Ke Jie, the Chinese team’s main general, passed the way of reporting area Web comment after losing to South Korean player Shen Zhenzhen, vaguely questioning Shen Zhenzhen’s suspicion of cheating by taking advantage of the chance to go to the bathroom, there are also views that Shen Zhenzhen’s lower Law and artificial intelligence overlap too high. Compared with Niman, who is “full of flaws”, Shen Zhenzhen’s credibility is undoubtedly much higher. After all, his resume is excellent, and the public way of practicing chess art is to compete with artificial intelligence in a large number. However, it is also undeniable that Ke Jie, as a top-level master who has experienced the battle for a long time, has a far extraordinary people comparable sense of Chess. Therefore, if even he has the idea of suspecting that his opponent is “not human, people should not simply define his remarks as” unable to lose “and” throwing the pot “. In any case, it is really necessary to innovate the competition system for intellectual sports such as Go and national elephant. Whether it is a more detailed security check system, more severe punishment and prohibition measures for players who have cheated, or even the delay setting for live broadcasts that collude cheating inside and outside the field, there is a lot of room for improvement. As for the reasonable doubts of chess players, there should also be a mechanism to investigate and verify, instead of leaving it alone. Otherwise, the “chain of suspicion” of these projects will only grow longer and longer, and their credibility will also collapse! Yangcheng Evening News reporter Zhao Liangchen
