Chapter 58: Imitation Chess (I)

The Crying Wall of Sighs is also a professional chess player, and he has a good record, although he was not able to advance to 2D with the first wave of 21 consecutive wins, but among many players, he also achieved a record of 21 wins and two losses, which can be regarded as a leader. He won all of them when he advanced to 1D, only losing two sets when he hit 2D, but he quickly won both sets, and he was just over half an hour behind Maple Leaf, who was the first to advance to 2D.

When he reaches this level, he can hardly see the figure of an amateur chess player, of course, Maple Leaf is an alternative, even if he has a dazzling white name, no one dares to despise him anymore, after all, people's records are there, standing at this level, that climbed up by stepping on the corpses of many professional masters.

The wall of crying sighs is a little surprised that the first opponent they encountered after entering 2D is the maple leaf, and now the maple leaf is famous, many professional chess players wear colored glasses to look at people, thinking that the maple leaf has the strength to sit in this position, the wall of crying sighs does not have this idea, he thinks that the existence is reasonable, since the maple leaf can win the title twice, it proves that the maple leaf has this strength, as for the maple leaf amateur or not amateur identity, it is second, Who stipulates that professional chess players must be stronger than amateur chess players, not to mention, almost all professional chess players are amateur chess players from different backgrounds, and who is born as a professional chess player?

"Hello." The wall of crying sighs first greeted Ye Haoran politely, without any arrogant posture or jealous expression, and his expression was very natural.

Ye Haoran nodded secretly, this is the normal state that chess players should have, they don't like things, they don't feel sad about themselves, and they can't see that this wall of crying sighs has a normal heart.

The two sides politely guessed first, and the weeping wall of sighs got the black chess, and Ye Haoran held the white.

The first son of the weeping wall of sighs was a little unexpected, and did not fall on the star position, the small eye, or the position outside the eye, but chose to fall on the Tianyuan landing.

The Go board is nineteen roads long, with a total of 361 intersections, and the middle point is Tian Yuan. The word Tianyuan first appeared in the "Historical Almanac": "The king is ordered to change his surname, and he must be cautious from the beginning." Correct Shuo, change the color, push the Tianyuan, and conform to the will. Later, it was introduced as the term Go, which means the center of heaven and earth, and the source of all things.

Among the ancient chess, there are those who prefer to fall Tianyuan, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once had a good story about Tianyuan and a son who set the world. The ancients liked to grab Tianyuan, which is related to the chess style of the ancients who were good at fighting, to modern chess players, attaching importance to the combination of land and potential, and Luozi Tianyuan is equivalent to taking a single step first, this kind of play, after modern times, it is almost extinct.

There is, of course, one exception, and that is imitation chess. The so-called imitation of Go is that one side plays chess with the other side at the symmetry of the chessboard, and finally forms a game of completely symmetrical black and white chess, which is commonly known as "imitation chess".

One of the characteristics of imitation chess is that it can only be played by black, and white cannot play imitation chess, because if black finds that white is playing at a symmetrical point, it is very simple to make a move on the Tianyuan point. If black wants to play imitation, he must first take Tian Yuan's position, so that no matter where White lands, black can land on the opposite position of the board.

Now the earliest imitation of Go is played by the master of Go Wu Qingyuan, who played a game with Go master Mu Gu Minoru, this hand fell on Tian Yuan's position, and then no matter where Mu Gu Shi played, Wu Qingyuan would play in a symmetrical place.

At that time, the sticker system had not yet been implemented, and the black chess was the first to fall in Tianyuan, which was equivalent to occupying an advantage, and using "imitation chess" to play the game, which was the first time in Japan, which made Mu Gu Minoru have a headache, and even the company commander could not think of any good way to deal with it. When the game was closed at noon on the first day, Minoru Kitani complained to the referee, saying that if he continued to imitate like this, he would not be able to play this chess. But the referee was embarrassed to say that the imitation did not violate the rules, and the referee had no right to interfere with the opponent's move.

As a result, Wu Qingyuan began to change after imitating 63 moves, and afterwards the imitation was opposed by all Japanese players, who considered it a lack of art and disrespect for the opponent. Since then, there have been very few chess players who have played black and imitated chess.

After the implementation of the close-to-the-eye system of Go, the initiator of playing white chess and imitating the opponent was the late famous Japanese chess player Fujisawa Tomosai. He often played white chess and learned twenty or thirty moves from black in the game, which caused a lot of headaches for his opponents.

When a reporter interviewed Fujisawa Tomosai, he bluntly said that many chess players think that imitation chess lacks art and creativity, but Fujisawa Tomosai immediately retorted that he played imitation chess completely based on the judgment of his opponent's chess, and once he felt that his opponent was not playing a good move, he would immediately stop imitating it. Therefore, Fujisawa believes that imitation chess is never imitation for the sake of imitation.

In addition to Fujisawa Tomosai, famous players such as Utaro Hashimoto and Eio Sakata have also played imitation chess in official matches. The famous Japanese chess player Zhao Zhixun also believes: "Imitation chess can also be called a layout, and it can be said to be a beautiful layout." Although there are various criticisms of imitation, such as: lack of originality, or lack of depth, etc. However, I think it would be better to think more about how to destroy imitation before criticizing. As long as there is a good way to destroy the opponent's imitation, then it is very simple to defeat the imitation. ”

The most effective way is to grab Tianyuan at the right time or use the method of Zhengzi to crack the imitation chess, so the imitation chess eventually only becomes a side-by-side chess skill, and few chess players deliberately drill this method.

Today's chess players play imitation chess, more with the intention of disrupting the opponent's chess path, creating some psychological pressure on the opponent, and when the opponent slows down or makes a wrong move, he changes his moves in real time and wins in one fell swoop.

After Ye Haoran saw the crying wall of sighs falling to Tianyuan for the first time, he thought that he must have a plan, and normal chess players would not rush to rob Tianyuan when they played chess. Sure enough, when Ye Haoran's white 2 fell into the upper right star position, black 3 should be in the lower left star position, white 4 lower right small mesh, black 5 upper left small mesh, completely symmetrical shape, it can be seen that the wall of crying sighs is an imitation of chess.
