The time came to August 25, 2000, and before I knew it, Li Xiangping had been traveling for 10 days.

Today is a weekend, and this afternoon, "Jueyi" defeated a 7D named "Ben Yin Fang Xiu IQ", and achieved 40 consecutive victories in the lifting match, thus officially becoming a "straight 9" of Qingfeng Net.

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, let's stop playing chess in the afternoon, right? Let's talk for a while, and then wait for the master to attack in the evening. ”

"Okay, just follow what Xiangping Xiaoyou said."

The game of the lifting match during the day, and the ring match of "Yipintang" VS "Lei Meng" at night, this is the life of Li Xiangping and Lao Shi in the past two days. Compared with the ordinary Qingfeng 7D, it is naturally a higher level of the opponent at night, so Shi Daqisheng is not much interested in the abuse of vegetables during the day, and his advice to Li Xiangping is as good as flowing.

And the conversation between the two started with the two games of chess last night.

"Yesterday's second game was really dangerous, Ding'an now looks back on this game, the first 50 hands were completely suppressed by the opponent, if it weren't for the mistake behind the person, Ding'an will definitely lose this game. Alas! I really didn't expect that the skill of Go has developed to the point that Ding'an has really become a frog at the bottom of the well. ”

Li Xiangping smiled slightly when he heard this, he understood Shi Daqisheng's mood at the moment, and at the same time, this was the second time he heard Lao Shi say that he was a "frog at the bottom of the well".

Although I won the two games yesterday, they were not the kind of beautiful complete victories, let alone hearty big wins.

Especially in the second game yesterday, the opponent that "Jueyi" met was Lei Meng's "Wanting to Leave". Li Xiangping still knows something about this chess player, he is still very active in the domestic chess scene in the past few years, and he can be regarded as a standard "backbone chess player", but it has only begun to slowly decline in recent years.

Li Xiangping could see that he should have made careful preparations for this game of chess, so in the layout stage, he actually restrained Shi Da Chess's ancient chess tactics, and had an advantage in the opening stage, and this advantage was maintained for a long time.

To be honest, Li Xiangping is also mentally prepared for this situation.

Ancient chess is often referred to as "seat Go", because of the existence of "seat chess", which makes players who are accustomed to ancient chess play have a natural defect.

This natural defect is most concentrated in that they are not familiar with "Xiaomu Go".

It is precisely because of the lack of a deep understanding of "small mesh" that chess players like Lao Shi are naturally even less interested in the various tactics and routines developed around small eyes in modern Go.

The reason why Lao Shi started backward yesterday was because he suffered a loss in this place. In yesterday's game of chess, "to leave" in the beginning of the sacrifice of a change, as a few years of formal Go Li Xiangping, he still has some understanding of this change, this should be not long ago, the national team just studied a new change, the legend of the "national team's latest research results" of the kind of new change.

It was in this new change that Shi Da Qisheng accidentally suffered a big loss, causing him to fall behind significantly at the beginning and fall into a bitter battle for a long time, only when it came to nearly 100 chess moves, he was finally caught by Lao Shi with an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle with one move.

Feeling that Shi Daqisheng's mood seemed to be a little low now, Li Xiangping was secretly amused in his heart. Think about it, what kind of character Shi Xiangxia is, a dignified ancient chess saint, there is only one evenly matched opponent in Fan Xiping in his life, even if it is Liang Weijin and Cheng Lanru, who are called "everyone", to be honest, they are inferior to him.

Then people like him are almost certainly arrogant. Therefore, when he met a person who is said to be only 50 miles away in the domestic ranking (Li Xiangping casually told him yesterday), he was actually pressed and beaten for a long time, then he must be unacceptable, even if he won the chess in the end.

Because he understood his mood, Li Xiangping comforted him:

"Brother Ding'an, but there is no need to be entangled, you are not familiar with Xiaomu Go, it is just the environment and rules you were in at the beginning, this has nothing to do with the level, presumably Brother Ding'an is highly talented, it should not be difficult to make up for this lesson."

Lao Shi sighed again: "Alas! Xiangping Xiaoyou doesn't need to say anything to comfort, think about that small eye Go, I thought that this kind of play is out of the essence of Go, has fallen into the inferiority, but now it seems to be the prejudice of Ding'an, it turns out that this kind of play is so profound and profound, Ding'an is ignorant, really a frog at the bottom of the well. ”

For the third time, Lao Shi said for the third time that he was a frog at the bottom of the well. Li Xiangping was happy when he heard this. I don't know why, but at this time he suddenly remembered a chess review article in the Republic of China era:

“...... The Oriental countries, Korea, Japan, and the Ryukyus all know about the game, and the cover is also transmitted from China. North Korea and the Ryukyus are both regarded as games, and they are not very prepared; Japan has a lot of people who love this, and there are nine paragraphs of the evaluation of the game's high and low national quality: only those who solve the ordinary law are the initial stage, and the number of gradual increases until the nine paragraphs. There are many new chess games every year, and there is a Go magazine. Those who work in this can teach apprentices and recruit them to cultivate, so the researchers are quite enthusiastic. To taste its chess game, its moves are similar to the hands of the countries in the early Qing Dynasty, and the hands of the countries have not yet been able to get the Qianjia. The Japanese exaggerated, saying that the highest player in China was Huang Yuetian, who was only comparable to the fifth section of the other country, which can be described as a thick face. If the Japanese are in the hands of the Chinese countries, then the games of the countries in the Qianjia period should be inferior to the princes of the early Qing Dynasty, and the principle of evolution is false, and the facts that can be proved are absolutely evil! ”

“...... The Chinese opponent placed two in each of the four corners and four corners of the game before the game, which is called "momentum", while Japan does not. He was criticized for the unnatural situation of the Chinese gamer. I don't know that China has no old ones, and the latter is also added. Therefore, if you add it, you can start to place it in four or three ways on the corner, thinking that it is a sticking plan, and there are few changes; If there is, neither of them can borrow the horn to consolidate themselves, and non-force warfare is not enough to survive themselves. For example, the heroes are competing for the deer, and the real heroes must think of laying the Central Plains, and they will never first cut off the corners to consolidate themselves. Therefore, from the unpowerful to the powerful, it is also an evolution of the Yi family, and the Japanese are still stranded in the old realm! ”

Obviously, this is an article written by an "angry youth of the Republic of China", because this article has a strong sense of reasoning, which makes people feel a strong atmosphere of angry youth.

I remember that when I first read this article, Li Xiangping was quite unimpressed with the views. And for his concept to change, it will be after the birth of Go AI.

Because according to the analysis of Go AI, at least according to the analysis of Go AI with the highest level at the time of Li Xiangping's crossing: what kind of opening is the best opening of Go? Go AI gave two answers, one is the opening of the two sides of the "two consecutive stars", and the other is the opening of the "diagonal stars" of the two sides, which is exactly the "seat system" of ancient chess!

Please pay attention to the second paragraph of this article, if you look at this paragraph in combination with the conclusion of Go AI, you will find that this passage seems to be really reasonable, although the "Republic of China Angry Youth" brother is arguing with strong words, but people are also to the point.

While Li Xiangping was thinking nonsense, Lao Shi suddenly spoke again:

"By the way, Xiangping Xiaoyou, through yesterday's game, I also know that Xiaomu Go is also profound, but why do you say that it is not difficult to make up for this lesson, if I want to learn this skill, but who is the best skill to learn?"

Hey? Lao Shi is still a studious chess master? The plug-in in your body is still a plug-in that you can learn? This made Li Xiangping feel interesting, and at the same time he was very happy:

"Brother Ding'an, don't worry, I said that this matter is easy to hear, I think that Xiaomu Go originated in Dongying, and its founder is called Daoce... Well, this person should be the same age as Huang Yuetian, born decades earlier than you, but the master is named Xiuce, and both of them are respected as chess saints in the Dongying chess world. But to be honest, if you want to learn that little go, these two are not the most suitable candidates. Here, I solemnly recommend one person to Brother Ding'an, if you learn the essence of this person, I guarantee that you will make up for this lesson quickly. ”

"Oh? Who is this person? ”

"This person is also my Huaxia person......

Who else can Li Xiangping recommend, of course he wants to recommend Master Wu Qingyuan. When he introduced Mr. Wu's life to Lao Shi, he continued to say to Lao Shi:

"Brother Ding'an, with all due respect, although you are a chess saint, you have always been respected by me, but to tell you the truth, you are not the best in history in my mind when it comes to Go, there are at least 3 to 5 people who can be tied with your status, and at least one of them has higher achievements than you."

"Where is it, Ding'an is only a shallow learner, how dare he call himself a chess saint...... Xiangping Xiaoyou thinks that the first person to play Go is the junior named Wu Quan? ”

Hearing this, Li Xiangping couldn't help but laugh, because although Lao Shi said modestly, the meaning of unconvincing in his tone was obvious:

"That's right, the first person in my mind to go is your descendant of Wu Qingyuan and Wu Quan, you must know that Brother Ding'an is only proficient in Zazi Go, and that Dongying Go has been limited to Xiaomu Go, until Mr. Wu was born, which integrated the two and created a ......modern Go pattern."

While Li Xiangping said this, he took out two chess books from the bag he carried, neither of which was thick, and the two thin booklets were the "Black Layout and White Layout" written by Mr. Wu Qingyuan, and he was going to let Lao Shi take a look at these two books.

Li Xiangping thought to himself while digging out the book, it's a pity that Mr. Wu's "21st Century Go" has not been published yet, otherwise let Lao Shi read it. But it's also good that "21st Century Go" is already close to the game of Go AI, and it is the closest game to Go AI in human beings. If you just want to make up lessons for Lao Shi, then it may be more appropriate to use this "black layout and white layout".

"Brother Ding'an, can you read books yourself? Do you want me to show you? ”

"I can see ...... myself"

When Lao Shi saw those two books, he never spoke to Li Xiangping again, as if he had become addicted to them.

And Li Xiangping began to think about it again at this time: Damn, can this guy read books by himself? So what about playing chess in the future, can he also operate the mouse by himself?
