At the end of July, Li Xiangping took the train to Shencheng to participate in the next round of the Weijia competition, the road was long, and he never found such a way to deal with Chang Hao, Li Xiangping sighed all the way:

"Alas, I can't play, I really don't know how to play this chess, Brother Ding'an, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Hehe, I don't know about this, but Xiangping Xiaoyou, I don't think you have to be sad, you must have confidence in yourself, and you will play well when the game comes."

Li Xiangping smiled bitterly: "I said Brother Ding'an, you don't want to pour chicken soup with me anymore, of course I will play well when it comes to the game, but you also know that the game is based on strength, and confidence alone can't solve the problem, I'm not asking you for advice, in recent days, you have also watched a lot of chess games with me, presumably Brother Ding'an, he must have discovered this person's weakness a long time ago, now tell me about it, what strategy do you think I should adopt in this game?" ”

Hearing Li Xiangping talk about this, Lao Shi fell silent, he seemed to be thinking about how to answer Li Xiangping's question, and Li Xiangping didn't squeak at this time, he was waiting for his plug-in to give him guidance.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, Lao Shi said:

"Xiangping Xiaoyou, I see that you are very interested in the Yilin Yishi of the previous dynasty on weekdays, especially at the beginning of the Ding Ding of this dynasty, you are even more precious about that period of Go history, then I want to test you now, do you know which senior national player is recognized as the most talented?"

Li Xiangping held back his anger, and said in his heart that he had such an unlucky plug-in, he really couldn't see that Lao Shi was quite capable of, and he obviously asked him for advice on the next game, but he actually pulled it hundreds of years ago.

"Hmph, at the beginning of this dynasty? Presumably, the "present dynasty" in Brother An's mouth is your Daqing, Brother Ding'an is not me talking about you, at this point, I think you are not as good as the girl who embroiders the qin, okay, don't talk about these useless, who doesn't know that Huanglongshi Yuetian's predecessor was recognized as the first talent at that time, you still want to talk about how I should play in the next game. ”

When Li Xiangping said this, Shi Daqisheng smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, it's just a habit, it's just that I say I'm used to it on weekdays, Xiangping Xiaoyou must know that I'm ...... No, no, the braids in your mouth are the most prosperous in the word hell, so we will be ah, that is the easiest trouble to come out of the mouth. ”

After Lao Shi defended himself like this, he continued;

"No, I didn't say that Yuetian seniors, Yuetian seniors recognized as the first talent, of course there is nothing to say, I want to ask Xiangping Xiaoyou, before Yuetian seniors, do you know whose talent is recognized as the first?"

"Oh?"

Although at this time, Li Xiangping is still a little tired, but he is still led by his own plug-in, after all, Li Xiangping himself is also a lover of ancient chess, especially after a plug-in like Lao Shi, he is even more interested in ancient chess.

What Lao Shi is talking about now is that it should be the period of the late Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and this period is definitely a peak period of ancient chess-----

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiangping expressed doubts about the phrase "national fortune is prosperous, chess fortune is prosperous" that everyone often mentioned in later generations.

Obviously, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that no matter how shameless people are, they will not dare to say that the "national fortune is prosperous" in this period, right? But at that time, how could the atmosphere of Go in society be so strong?

To be honest, at the beginning, Li Xiangping couldn't understand this problem, but after listening to a master solve his doubts, he slowly understood.

This master said this: At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, which of course was an alien invasion (speaking of which, I have to complain about the education department of later generations, didn't those guys learn dialectics and don't know what "historical materialism" is?). The "alien race" of the past can be the "fraternal nation" of the present, and from the perspective of dialectics and historical materialism, there is no problem at all. Not only is this no problem, Li Xiangping even thinks that this is actually the biggest "political correctness" of our country's current system, so Li Xiangping really doesn't know what those guys think, whether they are really politically naïve or their butts are crooked, and they actually removed so many national heroes from history textbooks)

It is precisely because the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and counted it as a foreign invasion, so when they seized power, everyone's choices were varied, those who should resist will resist, and those who want to be slaves will become slaves, but isn't there such a saying, called Xiucai rebellion for ten years, so for the intellectual group at that time, more people still implemented the third option, that is, neither resisted nor wanted to be a slave.

Well, it's a bit like Ah San's non-violent non-cooperative attitude.

So the question now is, what are these people who implement a policy of non-violent non-cooperation going to do? Literati, of course, pay attention to the four arts of a gentleman, and Go, as a kind of four arts, naturally increased the number of people who were willing to spend effort to study at that time.

This is one of the aspects, on the other hand, as the new rulers, they actually welcome everyone to play chess, after all, they know that their foundation is unstable at that time, so instead of letting everyone rebel, it is better to let everyone indulge in chess, calligraphy and painting.

That's right, it can be said that it is precisely because of these two reasons that the chess path in that special period has prospered, an atypical and somewhat sick chess path prosperous.

"The one with the highest talent before the moon? Is it over 100 years old? Brother Ding'an, is it the most talented of a generation of chess sects? ”

"Definitely."

"It's not over 100 years old, is it Zhou Lazy Yu who pulled him off the throne...... No, no, no, Zhou Lazy Yu's chess was unconvinced by many people at the time, so it definitely won't be him, at least his talent should not be recognized by everyone, so who is this person...... That's right, Wang Hannian! Wang Hannian is also famous for his outstanding talent, even Xu Xingyou admires him, the book "Jianshantang" written by Lao Xu, Wang Hannian is the first protagonist, and praises him for "seeing and exalting" Brother Ding'an, is this person you talking about is Wang Hannian's predecessor? ”

"Definitely."

"Wang Hannian is not, so who will it be? Is it grand? ”

"Definitely."

"Wang Youqing?"

"Definitely."

"Fang Zhen? Little prodigy Fang Zhen? ”

"Definitely."

"It's not, who could it be, could it be Su Guzhan?"

"Definitely."

Li Xiangping reported a large list of names, in fact, after he reported Su Guzhan's name, even he gave up, after all, this person was not the top at that time, if you want to say that this person is the first talent, then even Li Xiangping himself does not believe it.

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, don't sell Guanzi, who is this person?"

"Hehe, this person's name is Zhu Yuting, have you ever heard of this person's name?"

"Huh? Zhu Yuting? Could it be that Brother Ding'an is talking about the "prince chess player", this person's talent is recognized as the first by everyone? ”

"That's right, it's this person."

Li Xiangping still knows something about this Zhu Yuting predecessor, and it is not wrong to call him "Wang Ye chess player" at the same time---- this is the kind of authentic old Zhu family, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not enter the customs at that time, this person is likely to become a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and his feudal domain seems to be quite good, he is a dignified "King of Chu".

In addition to the identity of "Wang Ye Chess Player", the reason why Li Xiangping knew this chess player was because this old man had done something beneficial to Go, that is, he organized people to compile a famous Go book "Xianji Arsenal" at that time.

To say that this "Xianji Arsenal" still has a very high status in the history of Go, this is a large book similar to the "Go Encyclopedia", which can be regarded as a Go tool book at that time.

Maybe because this is a one-step reference book, so the later Baidu Chen Tiao said that the author of this book is "anonymous", which is actually Du Niang's unreliable place, for example, this book, although it is not like some monographs, this book should be compiled by a group of people, but after all, Zhu Yuting is the organizer of the compilation of this book, so it should not be too much to hang the name of "author".

It's just that in addition to the above information, Li Xiangping doesn't know anything about this "prince chess player", he doesn't know what this person's chess strength is, and he doesn't know that he can still be like Lao Shi said, known as the "first talent" at that time.

"Brother Ding'an, isn't he scolding me? This person is not well-known in modern times, and I have never heard of him having any glorious achievements, how can this person be recognized as the number one talent? ”

"No, no, no, Xiangping Xiaoyou doesn't know, this person's talent is really high, when this person first debuted, he was over 100 years old and ordered the chess world, and he was the leader of the Yilin League at that time, right Xiangping Xiaoyou, I don't know the battle of Yangzhou Slender West Lake, have you ever heard of it?"

"Oh? You mean that the heroes of Yangzhou Slender West Lake fought for hundreds of years back then, I know and know, but the records left now are unknown, but I don't know the final result of this competition......"

Lao Shi nodded: "You don't know now but it's normal, let me tell you, that battle brought together more than 20 top masters in the chess world at that time, and after a competition, it was this Zhu Yuting's predecessor who took the lead, and the world has passed on Bailing's position as the leader of the alliance was pulled off the horse by Zhou Lazy, in fact, no, in that Slender West Lake battle, Zhu Yuting used his original "jade screen" to break through Bailing's "leaning cover", and won four battles, so his talent was amazing and was respected as the first talent at that time. ”

"Oh, jade screen? Is Brother Ding'an talking about the "four changes of the jade screen", and this method was created by this person? ”

Lao Shi nodded and smiled: "You should believe that this person is indeed extremely talented now, right?" ”

Li Xiangping sighed, of course he believes it now, the so-called "jade screen" is actually a fixed pattern of ancient chess, and "five or six flying attacks" and "two flying attacks", in many chess games of Go AI, you can even see the shadow of "jade screen", so as the pioneer of this kind of play, this Zhu Yuting predecessor can of course be called extremely talented.

"Brother Ding'an, I still have a question, since this person is so talented, why is he not well-known now?"

"There are two reasons,"

Lao Shi replied: "The first is because this person has a special identity and is a vassal king of the previous dynasty, I don't think I need to say much about this." ”

Li Xiangping nodded, this point really doesn't need to be explained too much, and it is the same reason that "Qin Huai Five Uniques" is not famous.

"And what about the second reason?"

"The second reason is because although this person is talented, he also has weaknesses in chess."

"Weakness? What weaknesses? ”

Faced with Li Xiangping's question, Lao Shi did not answer it directly, he said with a smile:

"Little friend Xiangping, do you know why I want to mention this Zhu Yuting senior today, because in my opinion, this person's weakness happens to be very similar to the opponent you are about to meet, so you might as well think about it, what is this person's weakness?"

Yes!? Zhu Yuting's weakness is very similar to Chang Hao.

Li Xiangping began to get serious, and he began to think carefully about what Chang Hao's weaknesses were.
