Everyone knew that Zhang Ye was smart!
Everyone knew that Zhang Ye was capable!
But in Go? No one had ever seen him play the game before!
That was why before this, no one had any idea at all about how good Zhang Ye was at Go. They only knew that he could probably play, but definitely did not know how well he could play. Thus, everyone had a pessimistic view of things after the press conference the other day. They didn't think that there was a chance of winning at all. But now, they knew. Through the words of the host and the commentator, they realized that Zhang Ye's skills were definitely able to match the artificial intelligence program for this war between humans and machines. Further, he had even gained a slight advantage at the start of the match!
His eldest younger sister exclaimed, "Our brother is so amazing!"
Zhang Ye's mother said with wide eyes, "Didn't Little Ye only attend a few Go classes during elementary and middle school?"
