Go Legend

  Chapter 37 Alternative "Dog tricks"

"Xiangping little friend, your opening today is boring, here is the rush, although you got a little solid in the corner, you were pulled a piece in the middle of the belly, you need to know that this empty piece The power is so great that this exchange is a loss, and Ding'an even thinks that the chess game has progressed so far, and it is difficult for black to play."

  Li Xiangping smiled: "Oh, brother Ding'an also thinks that it will be a loss for black?"

   To be honest, Li Xiangping really didn't find it strange that Lao Shi gave this judgment. Because the change he made just now belongs to the most typical so-called "topographic confrontation" pattern in Go. Black gets a certain amount of solid in the corners, while white blooms in the "middle belly", forming a so-called thick potential .

   As we all know, in ancient chess, because of the presence of seats and "return heads", this made medieval chess players generally have the habit of "more important than important".

Then, like the change Li Xiangping made just now, if even modern chess players think that it is not good to play black chess like this, the real point obtained by black chess may not be as good as white's "middle belly blossom", then Shi Xiangxia will give It is normal to make the same judgment.

   But is everyone's judgment correct? Li Xiangping believes that the problem may not be so simple.

   The reason is very simple, because the change he just made is actually a "dog move".

  Although the Go AI that played this change is not top-notch, and played in a game of handicap, Li Xiangping still thinks that this play is likely to be true.

   This does not mean that Li Xiangping blindly believes or worships Go AI. The main reason is that Li Xiangping believes that the Go AI will not "wave" when playing chess.

  Although in the eyes of human beings, since the birth of Go AI, it has been "waves" constantly, but as long as you think about its principles, you know that only when it plays chess is the real "waves".

Just like when Li Xiangping encountered this change for the first time, if the person who made his son was a human master, he would not think so much, and would only think that the human master played handicap because he was playing handicap. This "unreasonable chess" bullies him.

   However, Li Xiangping was playing chess with Go AI at the beginning. Since AI made this move, Li Xiangping must think deeply. After all, Go AI doesn't have the kind of thinking like "testing the opponent". Whether it is pairing or handicap, it has no other distractions, but just chooses the best move it thinks on the board at that time according to the algorithm.

   Then, since the Go AI played like this at the time, of course it thought it was feasible to play white like this.

It is precisely because this move is also a "dog move", so although Li Xiangping himself does not agree with this move, or at this time, his judgment is still the same as that of humans, but on this occasion today, he still Deciding to make this move, while testing everyone's reaction, Li Xiangping also wanted to see what the final result would be if Lao Shi and Yu Jiuduan continued to play this move.

   "Okay, Ding'an brother, my task has been completed, and I will trouble you to continue."

   "Ah? Let me continue now. Why didn't Xiaoyou Xiangping continue by himself? I thought that after you got here, what other tricks will you have in the future?"

  Li Xiangping smiled and said, "I don't have any good tricks today. This is the interesting start I prepared for you. Okay, brother Ding'an is going to be long-winded, please."

   "Ah, that's all? Well, I'll come, I'll come, but let's talk about it first, little friend Xiang Ping. If you lose this chess game today, you can't blame me."

Li Xiangping chuckled: "Hehe, I don't blame you, I don't blame you, even if I lose this chess game, I don't blame you, but Brother Ding'an is not what I said. I think you are a dignified chess master, how can you easily give up at this time? Knowing that the game has just started, even if you think it will be a loss for black, there is still a lot of room for maneuver on the board, not to mention”

   "What's more?"

   Of course Li Xiangping wanted to say: What's more, this change is not necessarily a loss for Black, your old Shi's judgment may be biased or even wrong.

   However, considering that he was afraid of affecting Lao Shi's playing chess, Li Xiangping did not say this in the end.

   "Okay, Ding'an brother, please ask more questions. You should concentrate on playing chess first. If there is any problem, let's discuss it later in the game."

   Lao Shi was still very obedient. After hearing Li Xiangping say this, he really stopped talking and focused his attention on the chess game. After the task of playing chess was handed over to Lao Shi, Li Xiangping also shut up. In addition to occasionally watching the chat in the dialog box, he also focused his energy on observing the progress of the entire chess game.

   Since the change in the opening, it should be that the overall pattern of this game has actually become relatively simple. This is a typical "topographic confrontation" pattern in Go, and the focal point is the "pulling flower" of White.

  How to exert the power of that "pulling the flower" is a problem that White needs to consider. On the contrary, how to restrain the "pulling flower" from exerting its power is a problem faced by the black side.

   However, Go is like this. You form a simple pattern, but it does not mean that the subsequent process and subsequent methods will also become simple. On the contrary, the more "simple pattern" that can be explained in one or two sentences, the more abundant and complicated the follow-up methods are.

How to describe   ? You can think of the "pattern" in Go as something at the strategic level. The simpler the pattern, the clearer the strategic intentions of both parties, and what they want to do and what they want to achieve. In this case, the two sides have more tactical means, because as long as it conforms to their overall strategic intentions, any means can be used on the chessboard.

Both Lao Shi and Yu Jiuduan are masters. Of course, you don't have to worry that they will lack the tactical means in Go. Therefore, since Lao Shi took over this game, the two have begun to battle wits and courage on the chessboard. It has to be extremely intense.

   This chess game is not only fierce, but the game process seems to be very slow. When both sides have used up their reservation time, this chess game has not reached 100 moves.

In the online game, such a speed is of course a bit slow. You must know that this is a fixed time of 1 hour for each side. In the afternoon, you can practice 3 sets with "3304" for almost the same time. Only played less than 100 moves, which shows the caution and attention of both sides.

   "Hey, it seems that Yu Jiuduan still attaches great importance to this game of chess"

  Li Xiangping thought so while watching the battle.

   It is not surprising to Li Xiangping why Lao Shi is so slow. You must know that although Lao Shi is a chess master, he is not the kind of "quick-thinking" person, never!

Whether it is based on historical evaluation or based on Li Xiangping's own close-up observation, he found that Lao Shi's reaction speed seems to be really average, not to mention the famous "quick shooters" in the Go world. Compared to him, even his own chess seems to be a little faster than Lao Shi.

   For this reason and since he took over this game, Shi Daqi may have a sense of inferiority, so it is understandable that he is slower in this game.

   Lao Shi's side is easy to understand, so why is Yu Jiudan's side so slow? Of course, there is only one explanation: that is, he attaches more importance to this game of online chess, otherwise he has no reason to play so slowly. Because Li Xiangping doesn't believe that after the change in the opening game, he will also have a sense of disadvantage.

   Of course, Li Xiangping just thinks about these side issues casually. What he really cares about the most is of course the situation on the chessboard, and who might win in the end.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, that is, when the two sides had just played about 100 moves, Li Xiangping took the time to judge the situation. He felt that the current situation seemed difficult to say. Although it cannot be said that black has now gained an advantage, If anyone says that White is good now, no matter who this person is, Li Xiangping will find it difficult to agree.

  Uncertainly, Li Xiangping couldn't help but ask:

   "Brother Ding'an, what do you think of the current situation, which is good or bad?"

   "It's a critical moment, but little friend Xiangping, don't bother me."

  “”

   Being said by Lao Shi, Li Xiangping was embarrassed to ask again while laughing and crying:

   "Well, don't disturb you, don't disturb you, just play chess with peace of mind."

  Li Xiangping shut up and waited patiently for the moment when the situation became clear.

However, when Li Xiangping shut up, the Chinese Chess Academy, a group of national players who had just judged the situation, were not calm. They were just afraid of disturbing Yu Jiuduan playing chess. Chang Hao, Luo Xi, Gu Dali and others were stealing from another computer. Whisper.

  Gu Dali: "Brother Chang, what do you think of the current situation?"

   Facing Gu Dali's question, Chang Hao did not answer immediately. After re-examining the chess game, he asked Luo Xihe:

   "Little pig, what do you think?"

   "It's strange, every move of the captain is normal, but why do I think black has a slight advantage now?"

   After Luo Xihe finished saying this, everyone looked at each other the same, and they could see from each other's eyes:

   Everyone's judgment is consistent with Luo Xihe.
