Go Legend

   Chapter 81 Hate Kong's fault

  On the first day after the New Year's Day holiday, the capital, Nie Daochang, led by Lao Cai, Li Xiangping came here to visit Lao Nie.

   "Mr. Nie, hello."

   This is the first time that Li Xiangping has really met Old Nie face to face. Facing this representative of an era of Chinese Go, Li Xiangping politely performed the salute to the younger generation.

   "You are Li Xiangping, not bad, not bad, this time the three-star cup is very good, especially for Lao Cao's plate haha, I heard that you are looking for me, what's the matter?"

   When the two met, there were some students and teachers in the dojo at the scene. When Lao Nie specially mentioned Lao Cao, many people laughed silently. There is no doubt that the first "Ying's Cup" final held by Lao Nie and Lao Cao 12 years ago was like a "chess battle" between the two countries. After this battle, the Korean game of Go began to rise, but the Chinese game of Go fell into a long-term decline.

"It was a fluke to win Cao Jiudan, Mr. Nie, I came to you today, that is, I met a master playing chess online a few days ago. There are many brilliant opponents, and I still don't understand it very well, so I beg my Uncle Cai to bring me to see you, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

   "Yeah! How powerful is someone who can play chess that you don't understand, come and see."

  A lot of people laughed silently again. This time, the first online league organized by Lianzhong is not small, at least everyone in the circle knows about it. And the most eye-catching battle in the past few days is naturally the staying up late battle between the two in front of them a few days ago.

   The "boy in white" is Li Xiangping, and the "big knife Guansheng" is Lao Nie. Almost everyone knows about it by now, and everyone believes that the two in front of them must also know who their opponents were at that time.

   But now both of them have to pretend not to know.

  Old Cai sighed inwardly again, thinking that this kid from the Old Li family is really amazing, he is really very mature, and he is very knowledgeable about the world. Because if you really want to ask someone for advice, it's the most appropriate way to pretend you don't know, so that one is convenient to ask, and the other is also convenient to answer.

   Most of the people who play Go are simple. As Old Nie said, "Let's swing and have a look", a chessboard soon came to Li Xiangping, and he began to play chess.

   And the chess game he played was naturally the 5 games Lao Shi and Lao Nie played that day. And as Li Xiangping started playing chess and Lao Nie began to speak, in the next period of time, it would completely become Lao Nie's criticism of Lao Shi.

The first game of chess: "This move is wrong, completely wrong! At best, this move is nothing more than an ordinary game. At worst, I think this move is actually a bit numb. I didn’t find the focal point of the chessboard, and the flow of chess was definitely wrong.”

   "Then where do you think it should be placed?"

   "Of course it should be here"

Old Nie picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard very smartly: "If it was me at the time, I would have played it here without hesitation. Although this cannot be said to be the only one, it is a place of urgency. The best way to destroy the opponent's idea, don't you think? It's hard to say other things, I think if you play this, it's much better than actual combat."

The second game of chess: "I don't know what to say, this move is completely unintelligible! To put it mildly, this move is too amateur. It's hard for me to imagine that this move was actually made by you. Where to score? Is it necessary to score in this place? This is a typical "hate empty" thinking. Usually, mistakes like this are only made by amateur chess players. Xiangping, let me tell you, it will be like this in the future. The chess is really worth playing less.”

The third game of chess: "I will not comment on this move, because I have absolutely no idea what this move means, well, let's put it this way, if this move is played by a chess player, then I may I can still understand, and you play Go, if you play such a chess, then I really can’t say anything.”

The fourth game of chess: "It's not chess! It's not chess at all! Is this a game of Go? It's just throwing stones, I think this move is still the same problem as before, hate Kong! Too hate Kong, you The fault has to be corrected."

The fifth game of chess: "Tsk tsk, what can I say about this move, I can only say that the young people are in good health. It is undeniable that the attitude of this move is very positive, but I still feel that it may not be necessary to play this way, and it is better to play it a little bit. Suspicious of hating empty space"

  Two hours, when Lao Nie helped Li Xiangping play all five chess games, two full hours had passed. Although in the past two hours, I didn't hear any good words from Lao Nie's mouth, but we must admit that his attitude is serious and his guidance is sincere, because Lao Nie himself is such a person, the famous "Nie" Big Mouth", that is by no means a well-deserved reputation.

   Those who hate him may hate Lao Nie's harsh words, but those who like him will also like his frankness.

   And Li Xiangping is just the person who likes Lao Nie's frank talk. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xiangping has always been a chess fan of Lao Nie from his past life to this life. However, today, it doesn't matter whether he is a chess fan or not, it doesn't matter if his words are not pleasing to the ears, what matters is whether he has gained anything from what he said today.

   While listening to Lao Nie's explanation, Li Xiangping took time to communicate with his plug-in:

   "Brother Ding'an, what do you think of this person's comment?"

"This master is also! Listening to your words, Ding'an has really benefited a lot. I must admit that this person's opinions are pertinent, especially this person has mentioned the word "hate empty" many times, alas! Ding'an is now detailed Thinking about it, I do have this problem in my chess game, especially under the current chess rules, it is indeed a major flaw of mine."

Li Xiangping was silent. After listening to Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping noticed that although Lao Nie had made a lot of comments just now, such as the direction and flow of chess, the big field and the emergency, etc., he was criticized the most. There is only one keyword, and this keyword is:

   Hate empty space!

The so-called "hate the emptiness" in Go means "do not see others forming a large emptiness", even if the emptiness surrounding others may not be large, it is completely normal "general proportions", such emptiness is also unsightly, when playing chess Always want to break the emptiness of others.

   This is "hate emptiness".

   And Lao Nie is right, the problem of "hate the air" is indeed relatively amateur, and it is a problem that amateur chess players often make.

   But why did Li Xiangping sigh? Of course, it wasn't that he was disappointed with his own cheating, thinking that the dignified ancient chess master would make such amateurish mistakes.

   But Li Xiangping knew that Lao Shi's "hate the sky" was different from others. The reason why he had the problem of being very amateur in the eyes of modern people was still related to the rules of Go in his era.

  In ancient Go, it was necessary to "return the chess head", and an extra piece of chess buckles 2 goals, which means that a cut off is worth 2 goals, and sometimes it is worth 4 goals.

   And it is this rule of "returning the chess head", which caused the medieval chess players to generally "hate empty". Because of this rule, their chess thinking and chess habits are different from those of modern chess players.

   It is a very simple reason, the same "enter", if under the modern rules, this is just a "enter", if this move is judged to be 10 moves according to the modern rules, then this move is 10 moves.

   However, under the rules of ancient chess, this move may be worth 12 moves, 14 moves, or even more, so in the modern view, a move that may “hate Kong” was still “hate Kong” in the eyes of Lao Shi and the others?

   "This problem is a bit troublesome." Li Xiangping sighed again in his heart.

  Although he knew that Lao Shi was aware of his own fault when he was communicating with his plug-in just now, this fault was caused by the rules, but Li Xiangping knew that this fault was not so easy to correct.

   The reason is very simple, because this is a mindset, it is a habit, it is like a person who is born left-handed, it is impossible to become right-handed in a short time.

   "What method should I use to let the old user get rid of this problem in the fastest time?"

   Just when Li Xiangping was thinking about it, a voice came from Lao Cai:

   "Haha, rare guest, I said Ma Xiao, why did you come to this place."

  Li Xiangping turned around and saw that it was Ma Xiaofei, another Chinese Go **** Ma Xiaofei, who came to Nie Daochang.
