Chapter 390 Chapter 1

In 1644, the Tokugawa shogunate, which had closed off the country, introduced the "Imperial Castle Chess" system, in which the main players were the "Four Chess Houses" and other players with more than six dans, and the major families could also participate in the game.

From then on, participation in the "Imperial Castle Chess" was regarded as noble as the samurai competing in front of the shogun, and soon fierce battles began to be fought for titles such as "Honinbo" and "Celebrity......

This period was an important milestone in the history of Japanese Go.

At that time, the popularity of Go in Japan was a grand occasion, and Huang Zunxian wrote in the "National Chronicles of Japan" - "The most masters of Go, the children of the rich, and the elegant and elegant men all learn it. ”

In "Japanese Miscellaneous Poems", there are also poems as evidence: "Drunk and sucked hundreds of cups of agar syrup, carried the catalpa board to Xiatai, rotten Ke Mo took care of human affairs, and gambled on Yingzhou jade socks." ”

Later, in the middle of the 19th century, due to the influence of the "Black Ship Incident" in the United States, which led to the collapse of the shogunate system, the entire Japanese government and opposition were shaken and forced to sign unequal treaties, which made the Japanese chess world silent for a while, and the "Imperial Castle Chess" system was forced to be terminated, and the lives of chess players were suddenly impoverished.

Later, in the Showa period, the Japanese chess scene flourished again, and the level of Go finally surpassed that of China, and for the next hundred years, China was left far behind.

At that time, Wu Qingyuan and Minori Kitani initiated a reform in the Japanese chess world, jointly setting off the trend of "new layout", and finally pushed the theory of Go forward by a big step, creating a new situation in modern Go.

It is worth mentioning that this Wu Qingyuan, a Chinese living in Japan, once played all over Japan invincible, he played all the top chess players at that time to relegation through chess, known as "Showa No. 1 chess player".

Unfortunately, the era had not yet revived the various high-prize "title battles" that were prevalent later, and as a result, he never won any titles, and was also known as the "Uncrowned King".

And that Minoru Kitani, although he has also never won the title, he has one of the biggest specialties - he is an extremely good teacher.

In the past decades, he has cultivated a large number of super-first-class chess players in the new era for the Japanese chess world by accepting internal disciples, such as Otake Hero, Ishida Yoshio, Masaki Takemiya, Kato Masao, and Kobayashi Koichi and Zhao Zhixun, who have taken turns to monopolize Japan's three major title battles "Chess Saint", "Celebrity", and "Honinbo" for more than 20 years, are all his disciples.

How powerful are these high-level nine-dan players?

In 1961, the second visit to China was led by the 55-year-old Ito Tomoe Godan (female), who swept the top Chinese chess players at that time in the match, winning all eight rounds, causing a great shock in the Chinese chess world.

As a result, the advanced concept of Japanese Go completely subverted the Chinese chess world, stimulated by this, Chinese Go rushed to catch up, and the leaders of New Chinese Go Chen Zude and Nie Weiping were finally born.

In 1984, the first Sino-Japanese Go Tournament opened, which opened the prelude to the comprehensive confrontation of modern Sino-Japanese Go, in the first three ring matches, Nie Weiping unexpectedly won 11 consecutive victories, blowing a "Nie whirlwind", and together with the Chinese women's volleyball team, he became a phenomenal star in the Chinese sports world that year, which greatly promoted the popularization of Chinese Go......

Since then, Chinese Go has finally caught up with the Japanese chess world again and entered a new era of competition with the Korean Go world, which is rising at the same time.

……

The above is the mainstream development history of the world's Go, and it is also the reason why Lin Xiao asked himself to win - if he can't do a spear with a rifle in his hand, then this rifleman can die.

Although he is only an amateur chess player, he can't talk about how powerful he is, but Lin Xiao asked himself, how can he be said to have been immersed in modern theory for more than ten years, right?

This chess, as long as there is no spoon, there is no suspense......

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Zheng Chenggong exposed the flaws in the concept of chess.

After Lin Xiao's first hand hung on the upper right Xiaofei corner, Zheng Chenggong landed without hesitation, and he was pressing.

This trick has been seen many times by Lin Xiao in the past few days, and it is also an extremely common hand in the ancient spectrum.

But in Lin Xiao's view, it is this hand that reflects the backwardness of Go theory in this era - too tight and too small a field of vision, which makes Baizi lighter, but there is no burden when it can be discarded.

Therefore, in later generations, there are very few people who are pressing, and even if they want to attack, most of them use two clamps, or even three clamps, etc., forcing the opponent not to give up easily, and have to fight......

Lin Xiao was confident and had already dealt with it, he resolutely took the lead and hung a corner in the lower left black corner again.

Lin Xiao's move to take the lead is extremely normal in the eyes of any chess player in the future, but in the eyes of Zheng Chenggong, it is very strange, you actually ignore me?

Well, then you're welcome - defend the corners, storm.

In this regard, Lin Xiao had already prepared - he took the lead again and flew to the corner in the lower right corner.

"Huh?"

At this point, Zheng Chenggong raised his head and glanced at Lin Xiao suspiciously, "This son...... Don't want it? ”

Seeing Lin Xiao's expressionless face and a calm look, Zheng Chenggong hesitated a little.

Lin Xiao's moves, three hands in succession, not only have never been recorded in the chess book, but also have never been seen in actual combat.

Invested troops, and then voluntarily gave up? What do you mean?

If you want to give up, why waste this hand?

But...... Keep attacking, eat it?

People made it clear that they would not save themselves when they saw death, and they grabbed land outside, even if they swallowed this corner, they would lose money when they saw it......

Zheng Chenggong immediately frowned slightly, in a dilemma.

Finally, he decided, don't attack, love what's the matter, I also grabbed the land.

With his mind already decided, he hurriedly dropped his son and went to hang a corner on the left......

However, Lin Xiao's fourth hand still ignored him - unhurriedly on the lower left, there was a "double flying swallow" under the black corner that hung just now.

"Hiss......"

Zheng Chenggong frowned - this, this is a strange chess player!

Now, he is faced with two choices, either answer him, or ignore him and go to Shuangfeiyan......

However, it is really painful to have too many choices and be embarrassed!

If you ignore it, everyone will destroy a corner, then it's like imitating chess, always a beat slower than him, right?

Forget it, let's ignore him......

In the next hand, Zheng Chenggong resolutely chose to rely on the pressure to deal with Shuangfeiyan.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled faintly, and the opponent's response was problematic again.

……

The two sides fell like flying, and quickly completed a set pattern, Lin Xiao grabbed the lead again, and took the lead in seizing the big field on the right side to dismantle the side, and at the same time echoed the white son who fell into the enemy formation from the beginning......

The situation in the game is clear at a glance, white is based in the lower right corner, the left is a thick momentum, the spacing is just right, and the upper right restricts the appearance of black......

Suddenly, Qu Shiyun, who was silently watching the battle, couldn't help but exclaim: "The wings are open, what a formation!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong pointed at the white array and muttered: "Qinchuan Hou has a good technique, this, the white expanse is ......"

"Where, just follow the trend."

Lin Xiao smiled indifferently.

Zheng Chenggong's face was slightly red, he bowed his head and was silent, the chess game had just begun, and before he knew it, he had already made up his opponent and became a good shape, this chess is difficult to play!
