Chapter 120: Entering the Official
The level of officials is an important basis for measuring the level of a chess player, and the gap between the top professional chess players is often between millimeters, and the victory or defeat between millimeters can certainly not be achieved through mid-game battles, so the Go world has been known as the world since ancient times.
In his peak era, the stone Buddha Lee Chang-ho was almost alone in the world, and he staged official reversals again and again, so that the chess players who played against him wanted to cry without tears, and the record of 17 crowns has not been surpassed so far.
Lee Chang-ho's era may have long since ended, but his tricky official skills are still talked about today, even Park Yongxun, who later had the title of "Official Death", his official level is still inferior to Lee Chang-ho.
Before the era of Lee Chang-ho, professionals often did not pay much attention to officials, and Kato Kato, one of Japan's six superpowers, known as the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, said bluntly: "I hate endings." Otake, who is also an aesthetic chess player who is also a six-super, also sees the ending as a boring thing.
However, Lee Chang-ho has embarked on a chess path that has never been seen before, that is, ignoring the advantages of the layout, and even in the middle of the game, he can be forbearing, preemptively attacking, injecting ever-changing things into the officials, and creating a situation in which the officials compete for victory.
Lee Chang-ho's official son had reached the point of being supernatural at that time, and he did not end for the sake of the end, but postponed the strangulation and fighting battle in the middle game to the final battle, deliberately leaving many changes. The general chess player's game, at the end of the game, means that the general trend has been over, the rest of the chess only needs to be down step by step, calm and waveless, but Lee Changho's chess is turbulent, full of dangerous reefs, the opponent enters the official stage after a little relaxation, will hit the reef and shoal, broken bones.
Lee Chang-ho has created a new concept of Go, that is, attaching importance to officials, modern chess players, all are good officials, and those who win officials win the world, which is no longer a lie.
Although the latent official skills are not the strongest, among the chess players of the same era, who is above the latent level of the official, I am afraid that if you count it on your fingers for half a day, you will not be able to count one and a half. To put it more pertinently, the level of officials lurking in the peak era is no less than any chess player, even if he can't stand alone like Lee Chang-ho, but at least he stands shoulder to shoulder with those top masters.
The latent strength lies in his overall view, whether it is the opening, the middle game or the official, in his eyes, it is an organic whole, other chess players, maybe there is a stunning hand at the beginning, maybe there is a strong attack power in the middle game, or there is a death-like means in the official stage, but there are very few chess players like lurking so comprehensively.
Comprehensive, it means that there are no flaws, others want to surpass, it is very laborious, it is lurking is relying on the comprehensive style of chess, to become the king of the most peak of Go in the past ten years, and like Lee Chang-ho, to create a era of his own.
But heroes will always have a twilight time, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation replaces the old, which is an irreversible law and a ruthless natural law.
Now latent, compared with the peak of chess power, there has been a significant decline, especially in the calculation power and officials, the decline is particularly obvious, but the king is the king after all, the so-called tiger is not dead, although the latent has long lost the glory of the past, but this game of chess so far, the strong combat effectiveness shown, and the king of the year, is still not far behind.
This game of chess is still the appearance of fine chess, and it can be said that the latent chess is still playing at the peak of the era, which makes Ye Haoran breathtaking.
People say that when the rapids retreated bravely, Jiang Lang was exhausted, and he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the world, so he chose a hasty curtain call and bid farewell to the professional chess world.
Ye Haoran found out through this game of chess, in fact, people's concept is a fallacy, even if he is now latent and no longer participates in professional competitions, but his chess strength has not regressed much because of this, his sensitivity and overall control of chess are still extremely powerful, even if he is still fighting in the chess world, it is still very difficult for other chess players to surpass him.
As for why Latent chose to quit the chess world, Ye Haoran does not know, but he also has to admire Latent's courage, from the peak stage of his life, a gorgeous curtain call, and a brave retreat, such courage is not something ordinary people can have.
Whether it is the beginning or the middle of this game of chess, the lurking is impeccable, if it weren't for Ye Haoran using all his tricks to deal with it, maybe he would have already put up a white flag and surrendered. But Ye Haoran is also the most dazzling star of the new generation, how could he suffer a defeat under the lurking men of the twilight West Mountain, so Ye Haoran tried his best to fight to the death, and finally maintained the situation to two points, and kept the suspense of victory and defeat until the official stage.
Latently didn't expect Ye Haoran to be the slightest disadvantage in the mid-game battle, it seems that the maple leaf that is currently known as the first person in the game area network is by no means a waste of fame, the chess power is really good, and he can be inseparable from himself in the mid-game battle, and he can be regarded as a first-class top chess player.
It's just that it's very curious to lurk, a chess player with such chess power, and actually have an amateur title with a white name, which is a very unusual thing in itself, if the identity is true, then it seems that there is really a Go master who is hidden in the city.
However, there is no second in chess, and before the final game of any game of chess, the chess players are unwilling to give up easily, and trying to win by all means is always the unremitting pursuit of the player.
Now the situation is unclear, and the chess game has entered the final official stage, of course, Latent will not easily retreat, although he is no longer playing professional games now, but in the game-like online chess, it is enough to meet a white chess player like Ye Haoran, which is enough to make Latent a little surprised, but at the same time, it also stimulates the arrogance in his heart, this game of chess, he must win.
Latent can still maintain a record of 60 wins and 1 loss, which is enough to prove everything, although he can't compare with him at his peak, he still maintains enough chess strength, at least when playing against Ye Haoran, he is not at a disadvantage at all.
Entering the official stage, the chess game is also coming to an end, of course the latent is not willing to fail, he is determined to show his best state, to win a game of chess, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, but also never let his own front waves, just shoot to death on the beach, right?
