Go Legend

   Chapter 26 Genius Promotes Go

"Brother Ding'an, the opponent's opening name is "Wrong Xiaomu", which is the most authentic opening of the "Xiaomu Go" originated from Dongying, and the reason why the opponent chose this opening must have seen you before. Awesome, intentionally avoiding the "star position" start"

This chess game is "Lei Meng Zhuan Zhu" playing black. When Li Xiangping saw that his opponent chose the "Wrong Xiaomu" start, he was very happy. He thought it was because the opponent was afraid of him, and it came from the psychology of the game. Said that the opponent chose this kind of opening, saying that the good point is "strengthening the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses", and the ugly point is actually a bit of a sign of weakness, and it is precisely because he is happy that he talks to Lao Shi while playing chess.

After choosing "Er Lianxing" to deal with it, Li Xiangping continued to talk to Shi Daqisheng when he saw the 5th move made by his opponent: "Brother Ding'an, this move of Black is a bit famous, and its name is called "" "Worry-free Corner", that's it"

   "Oh, this move is also called "Worry-free Corner"?"

   Hearing what Lao Shi said, Li Xiangping was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted:

   "That's right, this shape is also called "Worry-free Corner", but this is the worry-free corner from Nadongying Go, which is different from my Huaxia Go-free corner"

What many senior chess fans don't even know is that in fact, there is a saying of "Worry-free Corner" in ancient chess, but because the starting hands of medieval chess are "star positions", the two chess shapes are definitely different. "Corner" is 2 moves, while the "Worry-free Corner" of Medieval Chess requires 3 moves.

   Therefore, looking at the problem from this perspective, if it is simply "taking land", it must be admitted that "small eyes" have more advantages than "star positions".

Facing this opening of black, Li Xiangping looked for the "one high hanging" and another small eye. When black's 7th move was "Sanluto", Li Xiangping stopped and thought about it for several minutes. .

   "What is Xiaoyou Xiangping thinking? I don't think this hand is difficult to deal with"

"Of course it's not difficult to deal with." Li Xiangping smiled and said to Lao Shi: "Brother Ding'an sees the opponent's opening, this is obviously a targeted move to deceive me and others who are not familiar with Xiaomu Go, then, next Brother Ding'an, take a closer look and see how I can use the purest Xiaomu Go method to educate him."

  Li Xiangping started to make moves on the chessboard while talking big words.

"Top", "Pull", in the next few rounds, Li Xiangping's moves were fast, almost all chess moves without hesitation, and the opponent's reaction was the same as Li Xiangping's, his move speed was even faster, the two They all seemed confident, and they all seemed to be familiar with the change.

   Of course, they are very familiar, because the two of them are now practicing a well-known Go formula. After a while, a basic form of the "Great Avalanche Variation" appeared on the chessboard.

As an ancient formula, it is not unusual for the two to play this variation, especially in these years, the "Great Avalanche" is still very popular in the world chess world, not only professional chess players love it, but also ordinary chess fans. If you can see it often, you can see such online games everywhere.

   It's just that after the two made this change today, the entire game room became lively, and the masses of melon eaters began to talk about it.

   This is mainly because the starting point of the "Great Avalanche" should start from the "top" step under Li Xiangping, so in everyone's opinion, this change seems to be actively provoked by "Jingyi".

   "Ha, Da Xue Beng? Everyone sees that Jueyi actually chose Da Xue Beng, why didn't he go out today?"

"Maybe he didn't dare to wave. It's a bit of a thrill to know that he won the game yesterday. I think this talented person is also a sensible person. He knows that his opponent will become stronger and stronger, so he won't wave it today, and play it seriously. Falai"

   "That's fine. Only by looking at such serious moves can we see what the level of this new straight 9 is"

   "What's good, I still prefer the way he did it two days ago"

   "+1, I also like to watch the unique hair wave"

   Just when everyone was teasing that Jueyi finally started to play "serious chess", after only one round, yes! When there were only 2 more moves on the chessboard, the latest move played by Li Xiangping once again detonated the entire chat box:

   "Hey! White seems to have made the wrong move for this move."

   "What is like, this is the wrong formula, and White has made one less exchange here"

   "Ha, I was praising this superb artist just now and finally got serious, I didn't think it would start to wave so soon"

   "This move can't be called a wave"

   "It's not a wave what is that"

"It's killing, there is one less exchange here, and the whole part collapses immediately. This is not killing, so this is definitely not intentional. Strange, it is said that at this level of "excellent art", there should be no such thing. It's a low-level mistake, what's going on today? He didn't play those wave tricks today, and secondly, he even made the wrong formula, isn't he the one who made the move today?"

In Jinling, Li Xiangping, who made this move, looked at the comments of the melon eaters with great interest. It should be said that this situation was within his expectation. He knew that as long as he made this move, it would definitely attract attention. similar discussion.

   The reason is very simple, if Li Xiangping is not a traveler, if he has not seen "dog tricks", if he is one of these melon eaters today, then he will definitely make a similar sound.

   What happened on the chessboard? To explain all this clearly, we must start with the ancient Go formula of "The Great Avalanche".

As a typical "Small Eye Set", "Big Xue Beng" has been around for a hundred years. For example, the "Big Xue Beng Internal Turning Variation" played by the two of them today was pioneered by Mr. Wu Qingyuan, who was in his twenties It has been released since the beginning of the century.

   It is precisely because of the ancient times that after so many years of development, everyone thinks that they have thoroughly studied this formula. For example, in this "inflection variation", when Black makes the "inward turn", White's next move is to break in three ways, and Black's next move is to "fight and take". There is no problem with these two moves. It is regarded as a "positive change" of this formula. Li Xiangping and Wang Lei are indeed playing like this.

   However, at the next step, Li Xiangping's approach was deviated from the research conclusions of this era.

  According to everyone's understanding of this formula in this era, when White is "beaten and captured" by Black, then White must make an exchange at the corner before escaping the piece. That is to say, White's next move should be on the "two, two" road of the chessboard, while black should be on the "two, five" road of the chessboard. Only after this exchange is completed, White can escape that piece, otherwise White can escape. A few stones on the chess corner are easily killed, and some will suffer a big loss.

But in today's game of chess, Li Xiangping didn't do that exchange, but went straight to escape the piece, so his chess move in this era certainly belongs to the low-level "playing the wrong formula" It's wrong, so it's normal to cause a lot of discussion among the people who eat melons.

   When this move was made, the opponent seemed to be obviously stunned. He didn't know what medicine was sold in White's full house. Therefore, between hesitations, Black did not make a move immediately. Taking advantage of this gap, Li Xiangping continued to browse the various comments in the dialog box, and sighed while browsing; they all said that the birth of Go AI brought a subversive revolution to Go, and the move he played today is A good interpretation too.

   Who would have thought that the conclusions reached by humans after hundreds of years of research are actually wrong in the eyes of Go AI, the inevitable moves are not inevitable, and the necessary exchanges are not necessary at all. So over the years, has the technology of Go really improved?

  The so-called theory of evolution, the so-called accumulation of knowledge, are these things really suitable for Go?

  Li Xiangping doubts this.

   Especially after seeing "dog tricks", Li Xiangping scoffed at this view. The knowledge you have "accumulated" for hundreds of years is all wrong, so can this accumulation be considered progress?

   Therefore, regarding the progress and development of human Go, Li Xiangping thinks that Lao Cao, the former "Go Emperor" of South Korea, said it well; the progress and development of Go has always been promoted by a few geniuses.

   "Brother Ding'an, what do you think of this change?"

  Since he was idle for the time being, Li Xiangping asked Lao Shi casually:

   "Well, with all due respect for Xiangping little friend, I don't like your move, especially the "top" move in the 8th move in the overall situation.

   "What else?"

   "In addition, Xiaoyou Xiangping's recent move seems to be lacking in finesse. It seems that it is better to exchange hands at the corners."

   Hearing what Lao Shi said, Li Xiangping immediately looked at him with admiration.

   "Haha Ding'an brother is really good to see"

   The "top" step of "The Great Snow Bend" was originally a vulgar hand, and Li Xiangping himself did not like it. Not only Li Xiangping doesn't like it, but the Go AI in later generations doesn't seem to like it either. Anyway, Li Xiangping has seen so many games, and he has never seen the Go AI take the initiative to play the "big avalanche". To be honest, if today hadn't deliberately introduced this change, Li Xiangping would not have done this at all.

As for Lao Shi, he also thinks that he has to do that exchange first. Li Xiangping thinks it is normal. After all, Lao Shi is a human chess master, and he is not a Go AI. To be able to see that exchange in such a short period of time already reflects his quality.

  Li Xiangping was thinking that when Mr. Wu Qingyuan was creating this formula, he probably saw this exchange first like Lao Shi, and then thought of taking the "inner turn"?

  Because of his admiration for Lao Shi, Li Xiangping asked another question, a question he thought was the most critical;

   "Brother Ding'an, what do you think is the situation between the two sides at this time?"

   "Well, there are many clues about this shape, let me think about it"

   A minute later, Li Xiangping asked again, "Brother Ding'an, are you ready now?"

   "Well, just like Xiaoyou Xiangping's tactics, you can see that the corners are damaged on the ground, but the situation is open and borrowed a lot. Combined with the two stars above, Ding'an judges that it should be a situation where White is fully fightable."

  Li Xiangping's eyes widened: "Really? Brother Ding'an really thinks that White is sufficiently playable?"

  Shi Daqi was a little unhappy: "Of course, could I still lie to you?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

   At this moment, Li Xiangping laughed heartily. He really laughed happily. He smiled and said to Lao Shi:

   "Brother Ding'an, let me take a few more steps in this game, and then hand it over to Brother Ding'an to continue. I must teach that opponent a good lesson today."
