Chapter 175: The Biggest Demon Gate in the Go World
"Brother Ding'an, our opponent's style of chess is more unique, he is sensitive to the field, has an extraordinary dedication to memes, and despises any big appearance, so in those years, he was nicknamed "Drill Weasel"......"
Before Li Xiangping finished speaking, Lao Shi said:
"You know, I've seen a lot of chess games from this person recently, and this time the opponent is extremely fond of the field and is good at treating orphans, right?"
Li Xiangping listened to it, and said in his heart that it was really worry-free to have such a plug-in on the stall, if it weren't for the 15-game limit a year, his plug-in would be perfect.
However, worry-free, Li Xiangping still decided to remind again:
"Brother Ding'an, pay attention, to say that in today's chess world, there are many chess players who love the field and are good at treating orphans, which is even the mainstream today, but I still think that this person is slightly different from others."
"Oh? So what do you think is a different method? ”
"Hehe, I don't want to talk about this, Brother Ding'an will know if he has been with him."
Li Xiangping didn't want to say it, he just suddenly felt that there was no need to say it. He believed in the ability of Shi Da Chess Sage, as long as he had seen Lao Zhao's chess games, he should know very well what his technical characteristics were.
After all, as Li Xiangping himself said, in modern Go, if the genre of Go is broadly divided into "field school" and "pattern school", then "field school" is already the absolute mainstream of modern Go, and the "cosmic stream" like Mr. Takemiya Masaki was a very large school in the world chess scene more than 10 years ago, but after entering the new century, this style of play has properly become "non-mainstream".
Of course, Li Xiangping is not like some people, who think that because everyone has become a "local school", most chess players have the same style of chess, so modern Go has become very boring.
In fact, Li Xiangping believes that although everyone loves the field, the style of many chess players is still very different, in other words, in fact, there are many branches in the "field school", just like in a big school in martial arts, there will actually be many small schools.
For example, Li Canghao loves the field, but his chess style is relatively balanced, so he can be regarded as a "balanced faction" in the field.
Ma Xiaofei also loves the field, but his greater characteristics are flexibility and dexterity, so he can be regarded as the "dexterous school" in the field school.
And Yu Bin also loves the field, but his style of "fishing first and then washing", Li Xiangping thinks that it should be regarded as the "delicate school" in the field school.
In addition to the above three branches, the style of Mr. Zhao Zhao Zhixun, Li Xiangping believes that it should be regarded as another branch in the field school, and it is a very important branch, that is, the "power school" in the field school.
To say that this branch can be called a long history, and in each era, this school seems to have very important representatives, not only that, but in later generations, this branch has a tendency to grow stronger and stronger, and there are quite a few young chess players who are considered this style.
For example, Mr. Sakata Eio, the former king of the Japanese chess world, may be regarded as the first master of this style. Sakata won more than 60 titles in his lifetime, and for a long time he was the title leader of the Japanese Go world, and he set a record in the Japanese chess world that even held from the 20th century to the 21st century.
And it is no one else who broke Mr. Sakata's record, it is precisely Mr. Zhao Zhixun, Lao Shi's opponent today. However, at this time, Lao Zhao does not seem to have broken Sakata's record, and in real history, it seems that it will be several years before he becomes the new title king of Japanese Go with 70 championships in 2010.
In addition to these two senior chess players, Li Xiangping's new younger brother Chen Yaoyue, Chen Xiaoqiang, the "ditch flow" in real history, is actually a typical style of this style, and the two predecessors are in the same vein.
After Chen Yaoyue, one of the "two meals and one rice" in the Shanghai chess world, Fan Tingyu, who was known as "Boss Fan", was also known as the "Young Stone Buddha" when he was young, but when he was about 20 years old, the world commented that his chess style was very similar to Sakata Einan.
In addition to Fan Tingyu, another well-known young chess player in China, Lian Xiao, that is, the most famous "civil war insider, foreign war layman" type chess player in later generations, his style is also similar to the previous ones.
The fact that this genre has produced so many masters, some of whom are even representatives of an era, shows that their chess is indeed unique. In everyone's impression, the chess players of this genre seem to be particularly good at treating orphans, and all of them are good at doing things. For example, Bantian is known as "Bantian who cures orphans", Lao Zhao is known as "the weasel who drills the ground", and Chen Yaoyue's "backbone level orphan treatment expert", "What he is best at is to put two eyes on a piece of chess" and so on, their nicknames or evaluations seem to show their characteristics.
However, Li Xiangping thinks no, their core thing is actually strength, which is calculation. And the treatment of orphans is just the most common form of expression when they show their strength on the chessboard.
Li Xiangping has always believed that the chess players of their school are all real strongmen, and they often count deeper and farther than most other school of chess players. It is precisely because of this that it is actually quite interesting to watch the players of this genre play chess, and watching their games is often very exciting.
Because of their far-reaching calculations, what may seem a little excessive or even unreasonable to other school of chess players is commonplace under them, but Go is like this, as soon as there are many extreme measures, the scene will naturally be hot, and as soon as the scene is hot, then the chess will naturally look exciting.
Not only does their chess look exciting, but if you look closely, you will find that most of the players in this school have good results, and Li Xiangping even thinks that if it is about the average level, then among all the schools, it may be that their school of chess players has the highest average level-----
Of course, this is not without reason, you must know that before the birth of Go AI, in the field of human Go, most people in later generations still believed that Go was that power is king, and road calculation is king, and the reason why this genre can produce so many masters is actually a good interpretation of this point of view.
Of course, this genre is not perfect, to use an inappropriate analogy, the existence of this genre in the Go world, Li Xiangping thinks that it is a bit like the "Demon Gate" in martial arts, "evil faction", and is the largest evil faction, although they are strong in martial arts, but they are often not the strongest one in the martial arts, although the strength is strong, but it is not very popular with everyone.
Sakata Eio tried to dominate the chess world after Mr. Wu Qingyuan's retirement, but only a few years later, he was defeated by Mr. Lin Haifeng, who "couldn't find a good move", who became his lifelong painstaking hand.
Lao Zhao Zhao Zhixun began to rise at the end of the 70s of the last century, and became Japan's "big triple crown" in his 20s, but his chess was satirized by Fujisawa Hideyuki's old god stick as "Zhao Jun doesn't understand philosophy", and after Li Canghao's rise, Lao Zhao, who can dominate in Japan, is basically hard to find in front of Da Li.
Then there is Li Xiangping's current younger brother Chen Yaoyue, in real history, he is the head leopard of the Chinese Go "Little Leopard Generation", from the beginning of his entry, he is clearly ahead of his peers, but he took nearly 10 years to win a world championship, until the Go AI was born, inspired by the Go AI to change many of his own problems, this won the second and third crowns.
As for Lian Xiao, not to mention, his "civil war insider, foreign war outsider" is certainly not accidental, and it can't all be attributed to luck, and his situation itself shows that there should still be some kind of flaw in his Go skills.
As for Lian Xiao's flaws, or the flaws common to all chess players in their genre, Li Xiangping thinks that they may still rely on their own strength, so many chess games are a little extreme and seem unnatural.
In this way, the natural way of Go is lost.
And Li Xiangping has always believed that nature and harmony should be the essence of Go and the highest level of Go.
It is precisely because they lack this kind of thing that their school seems to be a demon sect and an evil sect in the Go world------
Just like the bridge in martial arts, no matter how strong the masters of this sect are, but in the martial arts, no matter at any time, it seems that there are "decent people" who can restrain them by cultivating "Xuanmen Authenticity".
Shi Daqisheng's opponent today is one of the representative figures of this genre. And Lao Zhao is actually still at his peak now, don't look at his dominance in the Japanese chess world seems to be less than a few years ago, but in real history, he will probably win the second world championship of his career next year or the year after, that time is the "Samsung Cup", his opponent is Park Yongxun, who has won the "Fujitsu Cup" that year.
Since Zhao Zhixun is a big devil and the top cult master, in Li Xiangping's mind, is his plug-in considered "Xuanmen authentic"?
Li Xiangping thinks that it can't be counted, like Lao Shi's type, he may be regarded as "Xuanmen authentic" in the ancient chess system, but in the modern Go system, his chess actually has an evil spirit, but his evil spirit may not be so heavy.
What will this game of chess look like in the contest between two evil masters? Of course, Li Xiangping is looking forward to it.
At 10 a.m. Tokyo time, the game officially began. In this game of chess, Zhao Zhixun guessed the black chess, and after seeing his opening, Li Xiangping was happy.
Two "three-three"!
This is Lao Zhao's signature move, and it is also his famous stunt back then.
I remember that not long ago, Lao Shi used this layout to defeat Lee Sedol once, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, and Lao Shi was about to deal with Zhao Zhixun's two "three threes".
The competition has officially begun.
