Go Legend

   Chapter 344 The Decline of the Heavy Flow

   There was a rest day between the 4th round and the 5th round, which also happened to be National Day, so Li Xiangping stayed at home, preparing for the challenger decision on the second day.

"Houzhong, this last opponent is the most typical thick and heavy chess style. There are fewer and fewer chess players in this style in later generations. By the way, Brother Ding'an, in middle-aged chess, you can Is there a similar style of chess player?"

   As Li Xiangping's plug-in, of course Lao Shi knew about Zhou Heyang's ninth dan, so after listening to Li Xiangping's words, Lao Shi said with a smile:

   "There are also many players with strong chess style in medieval chess, but as thick as your opponent tomorrow, I have never seen Ding'an."

   "Who is the best chess player in the ancient chess? Xu Xingyou? Cheng Lanru?"

   "No, Senior Xingyou only has a mellow chess style. You can think that he has a "positive" character in the way of Go. If you have a real chess style, it may belong to Mr. Lan Ru."

  Li Xiangping smiled after listening to it. Due to the rules of ancient chess, most of the chess players were belligerent, and it was precisely because of the belligerence that of course there was not much of the so-called "heavy and heavy" chess style.

For example, the senior Cheng Lanru they are talking about is this old man who played the famous "Dancing of Nine Dragons" game together with Lao Shi. ".

   But at this time, what Li Xiangping was interested in was not Mr. Cheng Lanru's chess style.

What he is more interested in is: In the past years, that is, in the era when Japanese Go was the mainstream, there were many players with a style similar to Zhou Heyang's 9-dan. The most mainstream is not an exaggeration, and during this period, many famous masters and representatives emerged.

   The most representative of these, Li Xiangping thinks there are two, the first is Mr. Lin Haifeng, and the second is the old magic stick of Fujisawa Hideyuki.

  Mr. Lin, of course, has nothing to say. Nicknamed "Two Waist", he has always been the most typical and famous representative of the thick chess style. 閺��

   Li Xiangping said that "thick type" is the most mainstream in the past. That's what he meant. You must know that Mr. Lin's peak period was in the 1960s and 1980s, but what about Li Canghao's rise?

When Li Gang was emerging in the world of chess, he said: when he was learning chess, what he admired the most was the style of Mr. Lin and Lao Nie. Among them, Mr. Lin especially hoped that he could play chess like him in the future. �

   Da Li's words may be a bit polite, but at least he doesn't lie. After all, from his style, although he is not as "thick" as Mr. Lin, he still has a little shadow in his early years.

  Because of this, everyone can think that from the 1960s to the beginning of the new century, "thick and heavy" has always been the main school in the Go world.

   In addition to Mr. Lin Haifeng, another representative of "thick and heavy" is Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki. Don't look at what the old magic stick is called "gorgeous show", but Li Xiangping can tell everyone clearly that this is also a real representative of the heavy flow.

   How thick is this chess? Li Xiangping may give an example to illustrate the problem.

Well, this incident was personally experienced by Li Xiangping. He forgot whether it was when he was eight or nine years old, that is, not long after he was formally learning chess. Let him still remember it.

   Well, the opponent of Lao Shen Gong's chess game was none other than Mr. Lin Haifeng. The result of that game was that Lao Shen Gong lost, and he was reversed by Mr. Lin in a superior situation. However, the loss of the old magic stick is not the point, and the reversal is not the point. What really keeps Li Xiangping fresh in his memory is the replay of the two after the game:

Since the old magic stick has achieved a relatively obvious advantage when it reaches more than 100 hands, and his advantage belongs to the advantage of "more empty and thick chess" that is often said, the old magic stick with black is not only empty Clearly ahead, and Mr. Lin's white has a lone chess piece, which is a very simple and easy-to-judge advantage.

Well, maybe it was because Mr. Lin won the chess game at the end, or maybe the people of that era were more polite, so when the two of them replayed the game, they were not discussing what to do if Mr. Lin reversed, but what to do with the old magician. The best way to maintain the advantage.

   It was also a plan proposed by Mr. Lin after the game that impressed Li Xiangping:

After the game, Mr. Lin believed that when there are more than 100 moves in the overall situation, black should not attack the weak white piece at all. Can’t lose out”

  To be honest, when Li Xiangping first saw the change chart in the chess book, Li Xiangping couldn't believe his eyes at all, because the two white stones that Mr. Lin said, black chess can't run even if he doesn't add another move.

In that part, if White escapes, then Black has a method of "twisting two-way and then rolling all the way to pack" (this is a method that must be mastered by amateur chess players), because of the existence of such a hand tendon , the two white children can't escape at all.

  Adding a hand where there is no need to make up, Li Xiangping at the time said that he could not understand it completely, but it was such a plan, but it was greatly appreciated by another player at that time. ​​​

   The game of chess that Li Xiangping watched was actually explained by the old magician himself. Li Xiangping can't remember exactly what the old magician said. In short, the old magician agrees with Mr. Lin's plan very much, and there are a lot of praise and praise there. He won the three flavors of chess" and so on, and he believed that Mr. Lin's plan was indeed the best plan to maintain the advantage at that time.

   At first, Li Xiangping didn't understand it at all, but after he was 10 years old and it had been more than a year after he received formal training, he gradually understood the change.

Thinking about it, Li Xiangping pointed out that it was still in the 1990s. Although the "Korean Wave" was gradually rising at that time, the "Japanese Wave" was actually the mainstream of the world chess world, at least what Li Xiangping saw. Chess books, teachers who teach him to learn chess, many of them are talking about the inherent views of Japanese style.

Thinking about the Japanese chess world in the past, they could even get rid of such wonderful things as "idle hands", then Mr. Lin's "self-repair without chess" appeared, and this kind of thinking was greatly appreciated, of course It's very normal.

   But it didn't take long for Li Xiangping to accept this kind of thinking. When he was a little older, when he was eleven or twelve years old, when he was about to touch the threshold of his career, he slowly couldn't accept this kind of thinking.

The reason why he can't accept it is simple: because at that time, Li Xiangping would occasionally want to pretend to be forceful during training games and play such high-level chess, such as some "post-strike" or "no chess self-control". supplement" etc.

   However, he was very sad to find that if he played like this, he would not be able to win chess.

  When Li Xiangping is a little older, he doesn't even touch this kind of trick. ​​​​

   At this time, it was not only because he could not win chess like this, but the people who learned chess around him, and even the whole world chess world, seemed to have rarely seen this kind of play, and this "heavy and heavy" style gradually declined.

Let's not talk about the situation in the Japanese and Korean chess world. Take the domestic chess world as an example. There are "little dragons" and typical "thick players" like Zhou Heyang. When it comes to "little tigers", there are also heavy players, such as Kong Erjie and Hu Yaoyu, but their styles are not as obvious as Zhou Heyang's 9th dan.

   When it comes to the "Little Leopard Generation", it seems that Pu Wenyao is the only seedling.

When it comes to the "post-95s" or "post-00s" later, there are actually no single seedlings, except for Yang Dingxin, one of the "Three Heroes of 98", whose chess has a little "heavy and heavy" shadow. , this kind of play is basically regarded as disappearing in the world chess world.

   So is this kind of play really not suitable for Go? Or to put it simply, is it really impossible to strike back when playing Go?

   Well, for a long time, Li Xiangping also thought so, but recently, his concept has changed a little bit again.

   The thing that can make Li Xiangping's concept change again can't be anything else, of course, it is the Go AI, or more precisely, the three-generation dog "Alpha Yuan".

  Yes, it must be emphasized here that it is the three-generation dog "Alpha Yuan" �����

   Because after in-depth research with Lao Shi, he found that no matter the first generation of dogs or the second generation of dogs or other dogs, then playing chess must be a step-by-step effort to take the initiative, and there are very few "late attack" moves.

There is only the third generation dog "Afayuan", although in its play, it is also the most active move, but there are also about ten percent of the chess game, "Afayuan" will use a move. Kind of like a "thick and heavy" approach.

   Looking at some chess games like this, it will give people a very strong impression, that is, this dog's chess, tsk tsk, that is really immovable!

Is    "post-attack" suitable for Go?

  Why do "three generations of dogs" occasionally use such thick and heavy tricks?

   And what kind of situation will it be in, or what kind of situation will it use this method?

   To be honest, Li Xiangping really wanted to know.

   Isn't this a good saying, what you can't get is the best, and what you are not good at is what you want to have.

   It is precisely because Li Xiangping is not good at this kind of play that he really wants to understand and master this kind of play.

"Well, tomorrow should be a good opportunity. Although Zhou Heyang has never won the world championship in the ninth stage, he is an outstanding representative of this genre after all, and he is currently at the peak, so if we play against him. , then you should know something about this trick.”

   Just as Li Xiangping was thinking about the game tomorrow, a voice interrupted him:

   "Li Xiangping, come and open the door for me!"

  Li Xiangping heard it, ah, isn't this the voice of Zhao Daokai, when he opened the door, he found that Zhao Daokai and Cai Shanshan were standing at the door together.
