Go Legend

   Chapter 269 Subversive "Old Man's Cart"

  A little time before the game is closed at noon, in the spectator room.

   The "Mr. Zhang" just now has now become a primary school student again:

   "Ma Xiaomaxiao, tell me quickly, you must tell me! What does this chess mean? Why does this chess seem to you that Xiangping has gained a great advantage now?"

   At this time, no one cared about him. Think about it, too. He pretended to be in front of so many professional chess players for so long, so who has time to talk to him at this time.

   Ma Xiaofei even laughed and teased: "You can figure it out for yourself. I think with Teacher Zhang's high chess, you should still understand Xiang Ping's brilliant tricks."

  Strictly speaking, Ma Xiao's words are actually not a big problem. Because one of the interesting things about Go is here:

The "good chess" or "excellent hand" that everyone often talks about may not be thought of by many people before they appear on the chessboard. However, as long as these means appear on the chessboard, most of them will not be too obscure and difficult to understand. .

  Especially at the level of Zhang Da's reporter's career, so to be honest, there are really not many means to make him incomprehensible at this level.

   However, today’s situation seems to be an exception.

   Judging from the conversations of several professional chess players just now, they not only think that Li Xiangping has an advantage by playing good chess, but this advantage seems to be so great that Ma Xiaofei thinks that the game has almost lost its suspense.

   Of course, this made reporter Zhang Da a little crazy.

   Another interesting thing about Go is that the bigger the gap between the two sides on the board, the easier it is to judge the situation, and vice versa. Therefore, for people of the level of reporter Zhang Da, the fine chess situation that is close to "two points" is the most difficult for them to judge.

   Today's game of chess seems to be another exception.

   So far, reporter Zhang Da has not only failed to see the taste of black chess, he even felt that Li Xiangping’s series of moves just now were very vulgar, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the most vulgar move in Go.”

   Referring to the "most common" play method in Go, then of course more experienced chess fans know that it must be the legendary "Rook Push".

   Well, "pulling the car behind the wheel" is a Japanese loanword. In our national language, it is called "an old man's cart".

   As you can see from the name, this is definitely one of the most vulgar moves in Go.

As for the last few moves on this chess book, Li Xiangping is a series of "old man's carts", so a person like reporter Zhang Da, who claims to be very tasteful, of course he couldn't feel it right away. Sow the taste of the law.

   It’s not a matter of just being a vulgar one. After all, since Li Xiangping’s debut, he has not turned a vulgar hand into a good hand once or twice. Reporter Zhang Da now has a certain immunity.

   The most unbearable thing for him now is that his personal judgment so far seems to be completely different from the professional chess players in front of him.

   Ma Xiaofei and the others think that Li Xiangping is a good player, and so far has gained an advantage close to "winning the game".

   But in Zhang Da's eyes, he not only didn't think black had any advantage, but even felt that because of Li Xiangping's series of vulgar moves, the local losses were a bit big.

   In fact, it’s okay to just lose some real space. After all, Li Xiangping has done such a thing before �����

   For example, in the 3 games of the "Samsung Cup" final not long ago, the "six-way continuous pressing" created by Li Xiangping was just like this, and it looked very damaging.

   And his "old man's cart" today is actually very similar in appearance to that one, but this time it's just five consecutive pressures.

   It’s just that although it’s a whole way lower, the difference from the last time is that the last time the move was complete, and there were no flaws in the chess shape, but what about this time? Anyway, in the eyes of reporter Zhang Da, Black has left several breakpoints for him just now.”

   The so-called "chess is born from the break", so the chess shape with more break points cannot be called "thick" in most cases.

   A series of vulgar hands will damage the ground, and if you lose the ground, you are not thick enough, then such a chess game

   Reporter Zhang Da had no choice. At this time, he decided to give up thinking on his own. Anyway, if he wanted to think for himself, he would definitely not understand at that time. Reporter Zhang Da began to look at the crowd and decided to find someone to solve his doubts.

  Reporter Zhang Da looked at Ma Xiaofei first, um, this guy was ruled out first. Reporter Zhang Da thought he also had self-respect. Since he refused just now, of course he wouldn't open his mouth a second time.

Reporter Zhang Da swept through Team Leader Hua and Wang Yi again. These two can also be ruled out. Don’t look at these two as professionals, but after all, they have been away from the front line for many years. If reporter Zhang Da thinks that they are really serious, these two may not be the same now. Get over yourself.

  Reporter Zhang then looked at Kong Erjie, um, theoretically speaking, this should be the most suitable candidate, after all, he is "the most professional professional chess player".

   But reporter Zhang Da gave up after thinking about it.

There is no other reason, don't look at Kong Er, this guy is good at chess and handsome, but he has a disadvantage, that is, he has a cheap mouth. He is a typical "Jingyouzi" in Beijing. In order to prevent his poisonous tongue, Zhang Da reporter still Decided to give up asking him for advice.

   In the end, only one Huang Yizhong was left in the sixth dan. Well, not bad, reporter Zhang Da thinks this classmate is suitable. The loyal-looking Huang Liudan is not only a high chess player, but his current girlfriend is actually a colleague of reporter Zhang Da, who works for the "Go World" magazine. The layer relationship is here, so don't ask him who?

   "This Yizhong"

   "Hehe, don't ask, Mr. Zhang. First, compare the difference between Xiangping's actual combat today and the normal set-up in the past. As long as you figure out the difference, you should be able to feel the subtlety of it."

"Oh?"

  It must be admitted that people who have a career and become a girlfriend are different. Huang Liudan just gave such a hint. When reporter Zhang Da started thinking according to this hint, he really caught something:

"In the past, the set-up method was always "superior", but today Xiangping is "connecting" here, so although he has an extra breakpoint, doesn't he care about this breakpoint at all, or just say , this breakpoint must not be severe?"

   Seeing that reporter Zhang Da quickly found the point, even Ma Xiaofei next to him laughed:

   "Oh, not bad, not bad, there are two brushes, it's not a loss to be our "Teacher Zhang"."

  Reporter Zhang Da ignored him and kept staring at Huang Liudan. Huang Yizhong also laughed. After laughing, he said with emotion:

"In the past, the formula was "upper-length", but now it seems to be a natural move. It is because everyone is worried that there will be an extra breakpoint. But after reading Xiang Ping's move, I found this The breakpoint is not strict at all, and it can even be said that it does not exist at all, so compared with the old formula and the new method, the old method is too loose, and the judgment is based on the superior."

  Reporter Zhang Da nodded after hearing this. As for the "relaxation and tightness" in Go, he will naturally have a concept at his level.

To give a simple example, for example, for some chess shapes in Go, you can "turn your head" but don't turn it, but "back" a step, then this "back" move is likely to be "relaxed". ".

   What about the other way around? If you forcibly "pull the head" where it is obviously impossible to "pull", then this approach is "excessive" or even "irrational".

The difference today is this: the "shangchang" in the old style is because everyone thinks that Li Xiangping's "connecting pull" may be too much, only this is the "master", but I have seen Li Xiangping's next As for the law, it was found that the step of "connecting the pull" can be established completely, then in contrast, the original "hands" will naturally become "relaxed".

Although I understand the difference between "loose and tight", at this time, reporter Zhang Da still has doubts. After all, such a concept of "loose and tight" is a relatively imaginary thing in Go. Is there such a little benefit? Can it counteract that string of "old man's cart" vulgar hands?

   "Look at this in Yizhong"

   Reporter Zhang Da pointed at the string of black chess "Old Man's Cart".

  Huang Liudan smiled: "What's wrong with this string, because that breakpoint doesn't exist, then this string is a big trend, come and see"

  Huang Yizhong began to speak with reference pictures on the chessboard. He is now showing several changes of "pinch attack". After seeing his changes, reporter Zhang Da also fully understood:

This string seems to be really "strong", because after having these pieces and then "flanking", the white piece that was originally "a low clip" suddenly had difficulty breathing, and he didn't dare to move in the local area at all, saying yes It's no exaggeration to say it's over.

   But although Huang Yizhong's pendulum has been clearly seen, reporter Zhang Da is still a little obsessed with the string of "old man's carts":

   "But this string, after all, is the first to damage the ground, isn't it?"

Huang Yizhong smiled: "Of course, the part is the damage point, but in Go, the emphasis is on input and output. Black uses this series of consecutive pressures to gain the power of "flanking attack", so to control the benefit of this white piece, it is necessary to It is far greater than the loss of a real space on the right, so after this general calculation, after this part is completed, black is already cheap."

"Oh?"

  Huang Yizhong of course knew what Zhang Da's "Oh" was, because in this way, the five-way pressure would be a big loss no matter how you look at it.

   "Old Zhang, do you think that the loss of 5-way consecutive pressure is a bit too big? Actually, let me tell you, the loss of black here is not as big as you think."

   "Why?"

   "Not for anything else, just because of this "star position","

   When talking about this, Huang Liudan also picked up a piece on the chessboard, and then slapped it back to the place. �

   What he is playing is the third move of the whole world, which is the "star position" in the lower right corner of the chessboard under Li Xiangping's screen.

"Look, Lao Zhang, because black is the "star position" here, then the loss of the string just now is not as big as you imagined. You must know that the star position is difficult to keep empty, and it will be three to one. There's no time to click, but now with the string just now, White can't click three or three, right?"

  Reporter Zhang Da nodded after hearing this. After all, the chess surrounding the five lanes is a bit leaky. That is to say, if White wants to make the edges completely empty, he actually owes a move.

   At this time, if you go to point three or three, it will form a self-contradictory situation in the legend of "brothers fighting".

   "Since you can't point three or three, what about the corners in this direction?"

   Regarding the question of Huang Liudan, reporter Zhang Da was too lazy to answer, because the direction of the hanging angle he just placed was the "reverse direction".

"So in this part, the only way for White to play is to hang a corner here. Now let's not talk about whether White can grab this move. Even if he grabs it, you can check it out. Is this empty space for White? Not too big?"

   Reporter Zhang Da finally had nothing to say, so at this time, he asked the last question that was actually his greatest concern:

"Hehe Yizhong, thank you today, after listening to your analysis, I can understand this change, and I also know that Xiangping's move is good, but is this move really that good? Ma Xiaogang just now How to say it, he is saying that there is no suspense in this game, right?"

  Huang Yizhong laughed again: "That's right, Xiang Ping's move was good in the first place. Originally, White had to deal with it completely. It was already a situation in which Black had the advantage, not to mention."

   Huang Liudan said this big reporter and reacted:

   "You're saying that White should be wrong, right?"

   "Of course, didn't you see this move?"

  Speaking of this, he picked up another chess piece and patted it back in place. �

   This time he picked up a white stone, which was the 58th move in the global game.

   And this move is likely to be the losing move in this game!

"As we said just now, Black's "continuous pull" move is feasible, and White's breaking here is simply not valid, but you see, White has broken up, so when this move is played, White is actually It's on the road of no return."

"Oh."

  Reporter Zhang said "Oh" and didn't say much, because at this time, it was time for the Chinese side to close the game, and he had already seen Li Xiangping come over with a relaxed look.
