Go Legend

  Chapter 24 Self-learning plug-ins

  The time came to August 25, 2000. Before he knew it, Li Xiangping had been through the journey for 10 days.

  Today is a weekend. On this afternoon, "Exquisite Art" defeated a 7D named "Beninfang Xiuzhi" and achieved 40 consecutive victories in the lift competition, thus officially becoming a "straight 9" of Qingfeng.com.

   "Alright, Brother Ding'an, let's stop playing chess in the afternoon, shall we? Let's chat for a while, so that we can keep our spirits up and wait for the masters to attack at night."

   "Okay, just as Xiaoyou Xiangping said."

   In the daytime, in the down-and-down competition, and in the evening in the "Yipingtang" VS "Leimeng" arena, this is the life of Li Xiangping and Lao Shi these two days. Compared with the ordinary Qingfeng 7D, it is natural that the opponent's level is higher at night, so Shi Daqisheng is not very interested in the abuse of vegetables during the day. He is very good at Li Xiangping's advice.

   And the topic of the two started from the two games of chess last night.

"Yesterday's second game was really dangerous. Looking back on this game now, the first 50 moves were completely suppressed by the opponent. If it wasn't for that person's mistakes later, Ding'an would definitely lose this game. Alas! In the end, Ding'an has really become a frog at the bottom of a well."

  Li Xiangping smiled slightly when he heard it. He understood Shi Daqi's mood at the moment, and this was the second time he heard Lao Shi say that he was a "frog at the bottom of the well".

   Although both games were won yesterday, they were neither a beautiful victory nor a hearty victory.

  Especially in the 2nd set yesterday, the opponent that "Exquisite Art" met was Lei Meng's "Yao Li". Li Xiangping still has some understanding of this chess player. He was still very active in the domestic chess world in the past few years.

Li Xiangping can see that he must have prepared carefully for this game of "Leaving". Therefore, in the layout stage, he restrained Shi Daqisheng's medieval chess tactics and had an advantage in the opening stage. , and this advantage has been maintained for a long time.

   To be honest, Li Xiangping was also mentally prepared for this situation.

   Medieval chess is what we often call “Zone Go”, because of the existence of “Zone”, this makes chess players who are accustomed to playing ancient chess a natural defect.

  The most concentrated manifestation of this natural defect is that they are not familiar with "Xiaomu Go".

Because of the "Zuozi", this made the medieval chess not develop the Xiaomu formula, and it is precisely because the understanding of the "Xiaomu" is not deep, so players like Lao Shi, they have no understanding of the various aspects of modern Go. The tactics and routines developed around Xiaomu are naturally even less so.

  The reason why Lao Shi started late yesterday was that he suffered from a disadvantage in this place. In yesterday's game of chess, "Yi Li" made a change shortly after the start of the game. As Li Xiangping, who has studied regular Go for several years, he still has some understanding of this change. It should be that not long ago, the national team had just A new change that has been researched, the new change of the legendary "latest research results of the national team".

It was in this new change that Shi Daqisheng accidentally suffered a big loss, causing him to be significantly behind at the start and struggling for a long time. It was only after nearly 100 moves that he was finally caught by Lao Shi. Opportunity, one move succeeded and turned the tide of the battle.

   Feeling that Shi Daqisheng seems to be in a low mood now, Li Xiangping secretly laughed in his heart. Think about it, what kind of character Shi Xiangxia is, a dignified ancient chess master, and only Fan Xiping as an evenly matched opponent in his life, even Liang Weijin and Cheng Lanru, who are also called "everyone", can be realistic. Better than him.

   A person like him is almost certainly an arrogant person. Therefore, when he encounters a person who is said to be out of 50 in the domestic ranking (Li Xiangping told him casually yesterday), but he is pressed and beaten by others for a long time, then he must be unacceptable, even if he wins in the end chess.

  Because he understood his mood, Li Xiangping said something to comfort him:

"Brother Ding'an, but you don't need to worry about it. You are not familiar with Xiaomu Go, that's just because of the environment and rules you were in. It has nothing to do with your skill level. Not difficult."

Lao Shi sighed again: "Hey! Little friend Xiangping doesn't need to say comfort, thinking about that little Go, I thought that this kind of play is out of the essence of Go and has fallen into the inferior position, but now it seems to be the prejudice of Ding'an. It turns out that this kind of method is so extensive and profound, Ding An is ignorant, it is really a frog in the bottom of the well."

   For the 3rd time, Lao Shi said he was a frog in a well for the 3rd time. Li Xiangping was happy to hear this. For some reason, he suddenly remembered a chess review article from the Republic of China:

"In the countries of the East, Korea, Japan, and Ryukyu all know how to play chess, and they all come from China. Both Korea and Ryukyu are regarded as games, and they are not very surprised; Japan has a lot of people who love it, and its national quality judges chess. There is a saying of the nine dan: only those who understand the common law are the first dan, and the number increases gradually until the ninth dan. There are many new chess manuals every year, and there are Go magazines. Those who work on this can be apprentices and levied. Therefore, the researchers are very enthusiastic. I have tried to read the chess manual, and its movements are similar to those of the countries in the early Qing Dynasty, but they have not yet been able to obtain the movements of the countries during the Qian and Jia Dynasties. And the Japanese exaggerated, It is said that Huang Yuetian is the highest chess player in China, and he is only comparable to the fifth stage of the other country. Lords, the principle of evolution is false, and the facts that can be proved are absolutely nothing!"

   "China's opponents will set up two children in each of the four corners, four and four lanes in the game, which is called "Potency", but Japan does not have it. He slandered China's chess masters as an unnatural situation. I don't know if China was old and didn't have it, but it was added later. Therefore, if there is an increase, if there is no power, then you can start four or three ways on the corner to set the child, thinking that it is a sticky plan, and there will be little changes; To self-preservation also. For example, when a group of heroes competes for a deer, a true hero must think about establishing the Central Plains, and he will never be willing to separate the corners for self-reliance. Therefore, from the lack of power to the powerful, it is also an evolution of Yijia, and the Japanese are still stuck in the old realm! "

   Obviously, this is an article written by an "angry youth of the Republic of China", because this article has a strong meaning of arguing, which makes people feel a strong atmosphere of angry youth blowing.

   I remember that when I first saw this article, Li Xiangping was quite disapproving of the views in it. But for his concept to change, it will have to wait until the Go AI is born.

   Because according to the analysis of Go AI, at least according to the analysis of Go AI with the highest level when Li Xiangping passed through: What kind of opening is the best opening of Go? Go AI gives two answers, one is the "two consecutive stars" opening of both sides, and the other is the "diagonal star" opening of both sides, which is exactly the way of playing the "Zone System" of medieval chess!

Please pay attention to the second paragraph of this article. If you look at this paragraph in conjunction with the conclusions of Go AI, you will find that this paragraph seems to make some sense. Although the "angry youth of the Republic of China" guy is arguing, he can People are also on point.

   While Li Xiangping was thinking wildly, Lao Shi suddenly spoke again:

"By the way, little friend Xiangping, through yesterday's game, I also know that Xiaomu Go is equally advanced, but why do you say that it is not difficult to make up for this lesson, if I want to learn this skill, who is it? optimal?"

Huh? Lao Shi is still a good chess master? Is the plug-in in your body still a plug-in that you can learn? This made Li Xiangping find it interesting, and at the same time, he was very happy:

"Brother Ding'an, don't be in a hurry, I said that this matter is easy to change. I think that Xiaomu Weiqi originated in Dongying, and its founder's name is Dao Ce'en. This person should be about the same age as Huang Yuetian, and he was born decades before you. The master of the game is called Xiuce. Both of them are respected as chess saints by the Dongying chess world. But to be honest, if you want to learn that small-eyed Go, these two are not the most suitable candidates. I hereby recommend to Ding'an brother solemnly. One person, if you learn the essence of this person, I guarantee you will make up for this lesson quickly."

   "Oh? Who is this person?"

  "This person is also from China"

   Who else can Li Xiangping recommend? Of course, he wants to recommend Master Wu Qingyuan. After he introduced Mr. Wu's life to Lao Shi, he continued to say to Lao Shi:

"Brother Ding'an, please forgive me, although you are a chess master, you have always been respected by me, but to be honest, you are not the best in the history of Go in my mind, there are at least 3 to 5 people who can compete with you. Tied, at least one person, the achievement is higher than you."

   "Where, where, Ding'an has few talents and little knowledge, how dare you pretend that the first player in Go that Xiangping, the chess saint, thinks, is the junior named Wu Quan?"

   Hearing this, Li Xiangping couldn't help but laugh, because although Lao Shi said it modestly, the meaning of dissatisfaction in his tone was obvious:

"That's right, the first player in Go in my mind is your younger Wu Qingyuan and Wu Quan. It should be noted that Brother Ding'an is only proficient in Zaozi Go, while Dongying Go has always been limited to Xiaomu Go until Mr. Wu was born. Only then can the two be integrated, creating the pattern of modern Go.”

While saying this, Li Xiangping took out two chess books from the bag he was carrying. The two books were not thick, but the two thin booklets were exactly the "Black Layout and White Layout" written by Mr. Wu Qingyuan. ", he was going to let Lao Shi read these two books.

  Li Xiangping thought to himself as he took out the book, but unfortunately Mr. Wu's "21st Century Go" has not been published yet, otherwise I will let Lao Shi read it. But it is also good, "21st Century Go" is already close to the AI ​​of Go. It is the closest thing to the AI ​​of Go. It cannot be learned, but only by understanding. If you just want to give the old Shi a make-up lesson, then this "black layout and white layout" may be more suitable.

   "Brother Ding'an, can you read the book yourself? Would you like me to read it for you?"

   "I can, I can see it myself"

   Lao Shi saw those two books, and he never talked to Li Xiangping again, as if he had been addicted to them.

   At this time, Li Xiangping began to think about it again: Damn, can this guy read books by himself? When playing chess in the future, can he also operate the mouse by himself?
