There was a rest day between the 4th and 5th rounds, which also happened to be the National Day, so Li Xiangping stayed at home to prepare for the challenger decision on Day 2.

"Thick and heavy, this last opponent, that is the most typical thick and heavy chess style, this style of chess players, in the future generations are less and less, by the way, Brother Ding'an, in the middle of the chess, can there be a similar style of chess players?"

As Li Xiangping's plug-in, of course Lao Shi knew something about Zhou Heyang's nine sections, so after listening to Li Xiangping's words, Lao Shi smiled and said:

"In the ancient chess, there are many people with strong chess style, but as thick as your opponent tomorrow, then Ding'an has really never seen it."

"Then who is the chess style in the ancient chess? Xu Xingyou? Cheng Lanru? ”

"No, Xingyou's predecessors are just mellow in chess, you can think that he has a "positive" character in the way of Go, and the real chess style is strong, and it may belong to Mr. Lanru. ”

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard this, due to the rules of ancient chess, this made most chess players belligerent, and it is precisely because of belligerence that of course there is not much so-called "thick and heavy" chess style.

For example, Cheng Lanru, the predecessor that the two are talking about, is this old man, who and Lao Shi jointly performed the famous big killing chess game of "Nine Dragons Dancing Together", but just like him, in the eyes of Lao Shi, he is also "strong in chess".

However, at this time, Li Xiangping is not interested in Mr. Cheng Lanru's chess style.

What he is more interested in is that in the past years, that is, in the era when Japanese Go was the mainstream, there were many players with a style similar to Zhou Heyang Jiudan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of "thick and heavy" was the most mainstream in the Go world back then, and during this period, many famous masters and representatives also emerged.

Among them, Li Xiangping thinks there are two, the first is Mr. Lin Haifeng, and the second is Fujisawa Hideyuki's old god stick.

Of course, Mr. Lin has nothing to say, nicknamed "Two Waists", he has always been the most typical and famous representative of the thick chess style-----

Li Xiangping said that "thick type" is the most mainstream in the past, you must know that Mr. Lin's peak was in the 60s to 80s of the last century, but what about Li Canghao's rise?

When Da Li Gang came to prominence in the world chess arena, he said that what he admired most when learning chess was the style of Mr. Lin and Lao Nie, especially Mr. Lin, who hoped that he would be able to play like him in the future----

Da Li's words may be a bit polite, but at least he is not lying, after all, from the perspective of his style, although he is not as "thick" as Mr. Cheng Lin, he still has a little shadow in his early years.

It is precisely because of this that everyone can think that from the sixties of the last century to the beginning of the new century, "thick and heavy" has always been the main school in the Go world.

In addition to Mr. Lin Haifeng, another representative of "thick and heavy" is Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki. Don't look at what the old god stick is called a "gorgeous show", but Li Xiangping can tell everyone very clearly that this is also a real representative of the thick stream.

How thick is this one? Li Xiangping's example may be very illustrative.

Well, this incident was experienced by Li Xiangping himself, he forgot whether it was when he was eight or nine years old, that is, not long after he formally learned chess, he had seen a game of chess from the old god stick at that time, which made him still remember it vividly.

Well, the opponent of the old god stick's game of chess was none other than Mr. Lin Haifeng, and the result of that game of chess was that the old god stick lost, and he was reversed by Mr. Lin in a great advantage. However, the old god stick losing is not the point, and the reversal is not the point, what really makes Li Xiangping remember it is the review after the game between the two:

Because when the line reaches more than 100 hands, the old god stick has achieved a more obvious advantage, and his advantage belongs to the kind of "empty and thick chess" advantage that everyone often says, the old god stick with black is not only obviously ahead of the real space, and Mr. Lin's white chess also has a lone chess, which is a very good judgment of the concise advantage.

Well, maybe it was because Mr. Lin won the game of chess in the end, or maybe it was that people in that era were more polite, so when the two reviewed the game, what they discussed was not whether Mr. Lin should reverse, but how the old god stick should play to best maintain the advantage.

It was also a plan proposed by Mr. Lin after the game that impressed Li Xiangping all the time:

After the game, Mr. Lin believed that when there were more than 100 moves in the whole game, black should not attack the weak white piece at all, as long as he added a hand to eat the two white pieces on the side, the black chess could not lose in any way-----

To be honest, when he first saw the change chart in the chess book, Li Xiangping couldn't believe his eyes at all, because the two white pieces that Mr. Lin said, even if the black chess pieces did not add a hand, he couldn't run.

In that part, if white escapes, then black has a means of "two-way consecutive and then rolling all the way to the basket" (this is a means that amateur chess players must master), because of the existence of such a tesuji, those two white pieces cannot run at all.

Li Xiangping said that he couldn't make up for it at the time, but it was such a plan, but it was greatly appreciated by another player at the time-----

The game of chess that Li Xiangping watched was actually explained by the old god stick himself, which can be regarded as his self-war commentary. I don't remember what the old god stick said specifically, Li Xiangping no longer remembers, in short, the old god stick is very much in agreement with Mr. Lin's plan, and there are a lot of praise words piled up there, what "not to lose is Mr. Lin's waist", "deep chess three flavors" and the like, and he thinks that Mr. Lin's plan is indeed the best plan to maintain an advantage in the situation at that time.

At first, Li Xiangping didn't understand it at all, but when he reached the age of 10 and had received formal training for more than a year, he gradually understood the change.

Thinking about it, Li Xiangping pointed out that it was still the nineties of the last century, when the "Korean Wave" gradually rose, but the "Japanese Wave" was actually still the mainstream of the world chess world, at least Li Xiangping read the chess books, and the teachers who taught him to learn chess, many of them were telling the inherent views of the Japanese Wave.

Thinking about the Japanese chess scene in the past, even such strange tricks as "idle tricks" could be sorted out by them, so Mr. Hayashi's "self-compensation without chess" appeared, and this kind of thinking was greatly appreciated, which is of course very normal.

However, Li Xiangping did not accept this kind of thinking for long, and when he was a little older, when he was eleven or two years old, when he was about to touch the threshold of his career, he slowly couldn't accept this kind of thinking again.

The reason why he couldn't accept it was very simple: because during that period, Li Xiangping occasionally wanted to pretend to be forced and play this kind of high chess when he was training for the game, such as "making up for himself after the move" or "making up for himself without chess".

However, he was very sad to find that if he played like this, he would not be able to win chess.

When Li Xiangping was a little older, he didn't touch this kind of trick anymore-----

At this time, it was not only because he couldn't win chess like this, but also because the people around him, and even the entire world chess world, seemed to have rarely seen this kind of play, and this "thick and heavy" style gradually declined.

Let's not talk about the situation in the Japanese and South Korean chess world, take the domestic chess world as an example, the "little dragon generation" and Zhou Heyang are typical "thick types", and when it comes to the "little tiger generation", there are also thick and heavy chess players, such as Kong Erjie and Hu Yaoyu, but their style is not as obvious as Zhou Heyang's nine sections.

When it comes to the "little leopard generation", it seems that there is only Park Wenyao as the only seedling.

Wait until the later "post-95" or "post-00", in fact, there is not even a single seedling, except for Yang Dingxin, one of the "98 Three Masters", his chess still has a little "thick and heavy" shadow, this kind of play is basically disappeared in the world chess world.

So is this style of play really not suitable for Go? Or to put it simply, can't you really be a late striker when playing Go?

Well, for a long time, Li Xiangping also thought so, but recently, his concept has changed a little bit again.

Of course, it can't be anything else that can make Li Xiangping's concept change again, of course, it is Go AI, or more precisely, the third generation of dogs "Alpha Yuan".

That's right, here it must be emphasized that it is the third generation of the dog "Alpha Yuan-----

Because after in-depth research with Lao Shi, he found that no matter whether it is a generation of dogs, a second generation of dogs or other dogs, the chess game must be the first step by step and strive to take the initiative, and there are rarely any "late strike" moves.

There are only three generations of dogs "Alpha Yuan", although in its play, it is also a step by step to strive for the initiative moves, but there are also about 10% of the chess game, "Alpha Yuan" will use a seemingly "thick and heavy" play.

Looking at such chess games, it will give people a very strong impression, that is, this dog's chess, tsk, that is really immovable!

Is "preemptive strike" suitable for Go?

Why do the "three generations of dogs" occasionally adopt this thick and heavy method?

And in what case, or in what situation, would it adopt this move?

To be honest, Li Xiangping wanted to know.

Isn't it true that as the saying goes, what you can't get is the best, and what you're not good at is what you aspire to have.

It is precisely because Li Xiangping is not good at this kind of play at all that he wants to understand and master this kind of play very much.

"Well, tomorrow should be a good opportunity, although Zhou Heyang Jiudan has never won the world championship, when he is a master of this way after all, he is an outstanding representative of this genre, and he is currently at his peak, so if you fight him, you should have some understanding of this move....."

Just as Li Xiangping was thinking about tomorrow's game, a voice interrupted him:

"Li Xiangping, come and open the door for me!"

Li Xiangping heard it, ah, isn't this the voice of Zhao Daokai, and when he opened the door, he found that it was Zhao Daokai and Cai Shanshan standing at the door together.
