  Chapter 591 Exploring Dog Boundaries

  Tokyo time at 12 noon, two hours in the morning. The game ends.

  Because at the beginning of the game, Li Xiangping suddenly made a "split shot" that he had almost never made before, which made the progress in the morning very slow.

Maybe it was out of prudence, and of course there may be other ideas. In short, in the morning game, Dali was very cautious, and he didn't have the style of the "quick shooter" in the past. After that "split shot", he almost every shot Chess is more time-consuming than Li Xiangping.

  Because of the slowness of Gu Dali, there were only 42 pieces on the chessboard when the middle belly was closed.

In the morning game, not only the number of hands was small, but there seemed to be nothing particularly worthy of mention in terms of technology. To put it simply, every move on both sides was almost blameless, but at the same time, there was no bright spot in every move. .

   Today, there are no new dog moves, no new flying knives, and no gorgeous hand tendons. The two of them seem to be proceeding step by step and ordinary.

   However, when the game is going on till now, not only does Gu Dali seem to be a different person, but he suddenly becomes cautious and cautious. All the professional chess players who are paying attention to the final of the game are also discussing the progress of the morning.

   All of this is of course because of Li Xiangping's "split vote".

   This situation is actually the norm in the Go world.

   Even in the entire history of human Go development, this phenomenon is the norm.

   You must know the game of Go, because it is too difficult and complicated, and there is no standard answer for human players. Therefore, when professional players are learning, what are the weather vanes that everyone pays attention to the most?

There are generally two such weather vanes. One is that chess players think the strongest chess player in history. For example, if you think Wu Qingyuan is strong, you will learn his chess. If you think Dao Ce is the strongest, then you may also learn his chess. main.

   This self-proclaimed "strongest in history" varies from person to person, so this weather vane is not fixed.

However, in each era, another weather vane is relatively fixed: that is, the "contemporary strongest" in each era, no matter how the times change, as long as you can become the "contemporary strongest" in that era, then the chess he plays, It will definitely become the vane of that era.

   There is no doubt that Li Xiangping is already recognized by the entire professional chess world as the "strongest contemporary", and even now, some people are discussing whether he is the "strongest in history".

   This is also because Li Xiangping is still too young, and everyone thinks it is too early to discuss this issue, which has not made this topic a hot topic.

   However, when he suddenly makes a move that he has never played before, or even a move that he has clearly expressed his opposition to, it is normal for the professional Go circle to pay great attention:

What does   Li Xiangping mean today? Why did he suddenly make this point shot? Did he discover anything new in this trick? Or does he have new ideas now, ready to overthrow his previous arguments?

  In East Asia, in the three traditional Go powers of China, Japan and South Korea, after watching the progress of the morning, there are now countless professional Go players thinking about this issue or discussing this issue.

   Not only in the outside world, but even Li Xiangping's plug-in Lao Shi, he couldn't help but ask during his lunch break:

   "Hey, little friend Xiangping, what happened today? Why did you suddenly make such a split vote?"

   "Oh no, I made this move today, just want to pay tribute to the "nine-three-point shot" in ancient chess."

  Li Xiangping first made a joke with his own plug-in �����

The "nine-three-point shot" in medieval chess is a clear proof that "the strongest in contemporary times" leads the way to play Go. "Nine-three-point shot" has a special status in medieval chess, as it exists as standard.

After joking, Li Xiangping continued: "Brother Ding'an, we are not outsiders, so I will tell you the truth, the reason why I suddenly resorted to this move today was purely a whim, a whim. It's just, I don't know why, but I had the urge to make this move at the time."

   "On a whim?"

   "Or what do you think?" Li Xiangping continued with a smile:

"It should be a rather strange game mentality. You also saw it at the time, the opponent quickly dropped the "Small Bulletin Gate", and after he finished, the guy smiled at me, so I thought at the time, this guy What do you mean? Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to travel in the mountains? If he hadn't made special preparations, would he dare to provoke me so blatantly?"

"Hehe, so you decided to avoid its edge. Since your opponent is prepared, you will find another way, but Xiaoyou Xiangping, although this is a very common game psychology, it is not your style, you are not always Are you emphasizing the triple realm of professional chess players, why did you suddenly avoid the battle today? I don’t believe it, do you have any other deep meanings?”

Li Xiangping smiled and said: "Haha Ding'an brother, you are thinking too much today, I didn't lie just now, 90% of the reason why I used this trick today was the whim at that time, and the remaining layer, if If you say "deep meaning", it seems to be, I just want to try to explore the boundaries of dogs."

   "Dog borders?"

   "Yes, Brother Ding'an," Li Xiangping explained to himself:

"Of course you and I both know now that the dog doesn't use this trick again, but before that, we just followed the dog step by step, because the dog doesn't need it, so we don't need it. Use our human Go theory to find a theoretical explanation for dogs not using this trick, but you must know that theory is theory, practice is practice"

"That's not bad, little friend Xiangping has a very good idea. It's true that chess theory can never be replaced in actual combat. Ding'an understands what you mean. You just want to use this game today to find out why the machine doesn't use this trick. boundary?"

"Hehe, 10%, 10%, if the deep meaning of the tall is really only 10%, and more is really just a whim at that time, okay, Ding'an brother won't tell you, the time has come, let's go back to the match room now ."

   2 minutes to 1:00 pm, Li Xiangping returned to the game room. Since he had basically never made such a "split shot" before, Li Xiangping took advantage of the last 2 minutes to briefly sort out his thoughts on the next game.

  To sort out his thoughts, of course, he can only start from the theory of chess, and in today's game of chess, Li Xiangping naturally thinks of why dogs don't use this move.

As for this issue, Li Xiangping has thought about it for a long time. He and Lao Shi agreed that the reason why the dog does not "see harmony" is because this kind of "see harmony" method can easily lose the initiative. .

The "meeting" in Go can be summed up in a very simple sentence: I choose a move on the chessboard. The feature of this move is that it can leave two good points on the chessboard, so that no matter which one the opponent grabs A good point, you must leave a good point for yourself.

   One of the two good points must be obtained, which is the essence of "meeting together".

It is precisely because of this "must get one" advantage that the idea of ​​"seeing and meeting" has become popular in the past of human Go, from ancient chess to Japanese chess, and then from Japanese chess to modern Go, this kind of thinking is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. , is very popular in the chess world.

   But why don't dogs basically "get together"? This prompted Li Xiangping to think deeply about this issue. Later, he found an explanation: he thought that although "one of the two must be obtained", when you are "getting", the order is precedent.

   In other words, as long as you play the "match" chess, then the next choice initiative is actually handed over to your opponent, and it will always be "first served" first served by others.

   This kind of trick that loses the initiative is not pleasing to the dog again.

Especially in the online games of later generations, Li Xiangping has seen too many human chess players and dogs play against each other. Dogs play three or two times, and they always create certain situations on the board that make good points that seem to be completely equivalent become unequal.

  If the two good points are not equivalent, then losing the initiative will be fatal. As long as someone steals the more valuable move, you will suffer at that time.

   This should be the reason why dogs can't "get together"!

   And since Li Xiangping understood the chess theory, the reason why he still wants to play "Jianhe" today is because he thinks such chess theory can also be used in reverse:

   Since the key to breaking the "seeing and meeting" is to create a situation to make the two good points unequal, then in the next actual combat, I will focus on preventing this.

   As long as Gu Dali wants to create this kind of situation, then he will try his best to destroy this kind of form. Once he fails to complete this task, then "meeting together" can still be regarded as a good move.

   The above is the basic idea of ​​Li Xiangping playing this game of chess.

   Can he defend against it? Li Xiangping was completely clueless in his heart. After all, in a play like this, the initiative is not on Li Xiangping's side at all, and this purely defensive play has never been Li Xiangping's style.”

   As a teenager who failed in the previous life, it was not this style. Now that he has studied dog tricks for so long, it is even more not this style.

   But can't you protect yourself? Li Xiangping doesn't think so.

After all, a game like "meeting together" is not really bad and bad chess in the traditional sense. How should I put it? This move itself, but rather the ability and level of the opponent, can only be achieved with considerable attainments.

Obviously, although Brother Dali is already a first-class human master, he is still human after all. Although he has also studied dog tricks for a while, he is still far from the real dog, so Li Xiangping feels that he has a lot of room for it. Deal with opponents.

  Li Xiangping took this idea and threw himself into the afternoon game, and he was ready to defend hard.

   And in the defense of Go, what are the most important keywords? Li Xiangping personally thinks it is patience, so from the beginning, he is ready to deal patiently with his opponent.

However, the progress of the game in the afternoon was slightly beyond Li Xiangping's expectations. He was already prepared for defense, but the opponent seemed to have forgotten to attack. Li Xiangping waited for a long time until it was close to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. After 100 hands, the offensive he expected did not come at all.

  Li Xiangping was a little strange at first, because this was not Gu Dali's style at all.

   It's just that when you see your opponents in the game, they are cautious, and almost all the tricks are not for success, but for no fault.

  Li Xiangping gradually became enlightened, he suddenly felt a little funny:

  Li Xiangping believes that for today's game, Brother Dali must have been well prepared, and he may have imagined many possibilities.

   However, what he did today should be beyond his expectations.

   And this kind of unexpectedness to Gu Dali was likely to flash his waist directly.

   He may have been suspicious since the morning, and then began to worry about gains and losses, which led him to be on high alert as if he were facing a great enemy, for fear of falling into any trap or conspiracy of his own.

   Then in this state, it is easiest to use the trick that does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

   And today, just before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, almost all of Big Brother's moves are this kind of trick that does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

  Li Xiangping secretly screamed a pity, he said that if he had known that his opponent would come like this, he should have changed his mind earlier, otherwise it would not have been more than 120 moves, and the chessboard was still a balance of power.

  Yes, at 126 moves, the board is indeed balanced.

   At least Li Xiangping believes that it is a balance of power. The current situation on the chessboard is indistinguishable, and no one can talk about an advantage.

   Because Gu Dali's chess has no bright spots, almost every move is ordinary and simple, with no shortcomings and no advantages.

   However, Li Xiangping himself is also based on defense. He has based on defense from the next step of "split shot".

  Since it is based on defense, every move he makes is also ordinary and simple.

  Since the two of them are not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, it is strange that you do not have a balance of power.

   All this until the 127th hand of Big Brother appeared.

   Around 3:40 pm, when his move just appeared on the chessboard, Li Xiangping sat up straight.

   After careful calculation for 10 minutes, Li Xiangping sighed to himself, he said to his heart that he had practiced for so long, and although there were some sequelae, the benefits were obvious and easy to see.

  The biggest benefit of letting the chess pieces is to cultivate the player's sense of smell and enhance the player's ability to capture fighters. ​​​

  This situation is of course normal. When you are playing handicap, since you are at a huge disadvantage from the beginning, even from the first move, you have to think about how to grow grass on the stone.

  In this case, after a long period of such training, the ability to capture fighter planes is of course easy to improve.

   And right now, Li Xiangping relies on this ability that he has cultivated.

   The ability to capture fighter jets seems stronger than ever! He immediately noticed the problem of Black 127.

   After careful calculation, he confirmed that this was correct. Although Gu Dali's mistake in this step was very subtle, it would not cause too much loss locally. It was a kind of "inadvertent thinking".

   However, for Li Xiangping, he thought that this mistake alone was enough for him.

   "Hey~~~ Dali brother, Dali brother, it seems that your first world champion, this time it doesn't seem to come"

   At around 3:55 pm, Li Xiangping dropped the 128th overall move.

   This is the decisive hand!

   This move should be able to decide the ownership of this "Fujitsu Cup".

   Continue to have the energy to ask for a monthly pass!
