Go Legend

  Chapter 36 Uncomfortable Skies

   At 7 p.m., the match between "Exquisite Art" VS "Lei Meng Nie Zheng" started as scheduled.

   Chinese Chess Academy, a few minutes before the start of the game, Yu Bin took a seat in front of a computer with 9 dan, just looking at his expression, it seemed like he was participating in an official game right away.

   Everyone naturally understood his mood. If he took the initiative to ask Ting last night, it was purely a playful mentality. It was a momentary itch for professional chess players after seeing high chess. However, after this afternoon, when everyone learned that "3304" was Liu Changhe, Yu Bin's mood changed completely.

   All of this comes from what Yu Bin's good friend Chang Hao said after watching the 3 games of chess in the afternoon:

   "The head of the regiment should go down well at night. Think about it, since this person can win against Liu Changhe, if you can win this "excellent art""

   That's what Chang Hao said at the time, but Yu Bin understood what he meant. In fact, not only Yu Bin, but all professional chess players understood what Chang Hao said.

You must know that Yu Jiuduan is currently preparing for the final of the "LG Cup", and the preparation of professional chess players usually includes two parts. The first part is naturally technical preparation, that is, according to the technical characteristics of oneself and the opponent, make corresponding skills before the game Prepare.

   And the second part is psychological preparation, commonly known as "adjustment state".

  From a certain point of view, at the stage of the World Championship finals, the psychological preparation of chess players is often more important than the technical preparation.

   After all, after reaching the level of Yu Bin or Liu Changhe, it is actually very difficult for them to improve their technical level in a short period of time. What's more, this final is still a five-game chess game. If you can prepare for the game, I can also prepare for the game. If you can do technical preparation, I can also do technical preparation. In this case, psychological preparation is particularly important. Who can prepare before the game? The better the player is, the more likely he is to win.

   And what Chang Hao just said was actually a kind of psychological preparation. This is what is called psychological cues.

   You must know that being a professional chess player is not the same as working in other industries. What are the necessary qualities to be a professional chess player? Different people may have different answers to this question, but a real expert will tell you that the quality necessary to be a professional chess player is actually sensitivity.

  Because professional chess players are the kind of people who live in the world of winning and losing, their world is only about winning and losing. Therefore, if you want to be the best in this industry, you must be sensitive enough to winning and losing.

  What are "careless" and "heartless", these adjectives are actually insulated from this profession. If someone views a professional chess player in this way, it can only show that this person has no understanding of professional chess players at all.

Even if he is like Lao Nie, later generations often describe him like this. In fact, it is only Lao Nie who has been seen in middle age, or Lao Nie who has retired from the professional front line, and Lao Nie at his peak. He is sensitive to chess. No less than anyone in the world of chess.

   It is precisely because most professional chess players are sensitive, that the group of chess players is very particular about things like "psychological cues". As long as you can understand this, you can understand why Yu Jiuduan attaches so much importance to a game of online chess.

Yu Jiuduan was sitting in a precarious position and ready to go, but on Li Xiangping's side, it is a different situation now, because this is the first time that Li Xiangping knows who his opponent is before the game for the first time since so many games. , so his preparations are naturally different from before:

   "Brother Ding'an, let me tell you, the opponent we are about to face is currently the top 5 masters in China, and he will compete with our opponent in the afternoon for a world Go championship in half a month."

   After Li Xiangping explained some basic information about the current world chess world to Lao Shi, he told him about Yu Bin's 9-dan chess style:

"This person loves to play chess on the ground, and is good at "fishing first and then washing", and is known as a "small washing machine" in the domestic chess world, but compared to the two opponents yesterday and this afternoon, this person's combat effectiveness is weak, or this person He doesn't like fighting very much, and often avoids fighting subconsciously when playing chess, so for his characteristics, I specially prepared an interesting start, Ding'an brother needs to be ready at any time"

   Before Li Xiangping could say his "interesting start", Lao Shi suddenly said:

   "Little friend Xiangping, what is a small washing machine?"

"The washing machine is" Li Xiangping said with a black face: "Brother Ding'an, don't care what a washing machine is, in short, this person is agile and practical, good at infiltrating and breaking through the air, but he is not very good at using force, you understand what I say? "

   Lao Shi nodded: "You mean that this person is lazy to ordinary people, is that so?"

   Lazy to give? Li Xiangping was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed:

   "Haha yes yes yes, this person is exactly the same chess game as that lazy."

   The "lazyyu" they were talking about was the senior Zhou Lanyu, the "famous master" in medieval chess. This person plays chess lightly and exquisitely, is sensitive to the field, and is very good at controlling the situation. He can be regarded as the originator of "control flow". And in the middle-aged chess that is dominated by fighting, Zhou Lanyu's chess style is simply a clear stream.

   He also relied on this unique play method at the time to defeat a generation of chess masters for over a hundred years, leaving the famous "Ten rounds of over a week" in the history of Go. It's just that after defeating Bailing, although Zhou Lanyu dominated for a while, he did not become the hegemon of a generation. The reason is very simple, that is because Zhou Lanyu's chess still has weaknesses, his combat effectiveness is weak, and he likes to play chess. Sexual avoidance of war, so when others were familiar with his chess path, he was "beaten by force" by another lesser-known "famous master" Li Yuanzhao.

It is also for this reason why Li Xiangping laughed when he heard Lao Shi mentioned Zhou Langui, because he thought about it and found that Zhou Lanyu and Yu Bin's chess styles seemed to be somewhat similar. .

   "Since Brother Ding'an mentioned Senior Lazy Yu, you must already know what to do with this game."

   "You don't need to say much, little friend Xiangping, the time has come, let's start the game quickly."

   "Huh? It's coming so soon? Okay, let's start the game"

  Poor Li Xiangping still didn't have time to say his "interesting start", and the game time had come. But it doesn't matter, since he said it is "starting", of course he can see it right away.

  According to the rules of the game, it was "Jingyi"'s turn to play black in this game. Because of his preparation, Li Xiangping moved quickly in the layout stage, and he still chose "Er Lianxing" to start this game.

   The first 10 or so moves are very ordinary, and there is nothing to say, but just after the 20th move in the overall situation, Li Xiangping's 21st move made Yu Bin's hand stop. And seeing this move, some chess fans with good chess skills also began to discuss:

   "Hey, this change seems to be that Black should rush first, then break and then pull back, right? But now Black is actually"

   This chess fan dared not say any more. The reason why he dared not say anything was because of the lessons learned from playing chess. When playing chess, "Exquisite Art" is to make one less exchange, and then everyone is slapped in the face by him.

   Today, the game of chess has been played until now, and he seems to have started to play this move again, and today he has not exchanged one move less, but has exchanged two moves less. Of course, ordinary people who eat melons will not dare to speak casually.

Not only ordinary people who eat melons, but even in the Chinese Chess Academy, when they just saw this move made by "Exquisite Art", neither the opponent Yu Bin nor the other national players who were on the sidelines did not speak at first, until the end. After two rounds, this local change was completed, and various discussions came one after another.

   "Ha, let's see, everyone, it's a wave again, this superb art is starting to wave again"

   "Haha it's fun and fun, I want to tell you, this straight 9 should just change its name, what is it called Jueyi? Since he likes waves so much, he should just be called Bulang Uncomfortable"

   "Master of the Arts, although I am your fan now, but is it really good for you to go on like this, there are 30 meshes in the middle, you actually let people pull the flowers in the middle like this, and it's still so early."

   What did Li Xiangping do? This last chess fan has come to the point. In a change evolved from the "two high clips of star positions", when the overall situation was just the 26th move, Li Xiangping asked the center of the family to pull the flower. The kind of plucked flower with "30 meshes of central flowering" in Go.

   There is no doubt that this kind of play is against the logic of chess, at least against the logic of chess in this era.

   However, Li Xiangping seemed to be unknowingly reacting to the outside world. After completing the local change, he also asked Lao Shi with great interest:

   "Hehe Ding'an brother, how about this interesting opening I prepared for you?"
