Fujisawa Hideyuki's retirement ceremony, many guests watched Li Xiaoqiang and the old god stick review with great interest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is indeed an interesting question in Go. Li Xiaoqiang's controversial move is extremely ordinary in terms of means, that is, a simple "retreat". It can be said that in modern Go, there is no more common method than the "toss and retreat", which is not only played by professional chess players, but also by ordinary chess fans.

The only difference today is that there is an extra step in front of the "two high clamps".

Since you are "clamped", you should not play "support", if you want to play "support", then you should not "clamp" in front of you, this is a common understanding in the Go world for a long time.

Of course, this kind of understanding is not without reason, everyone knows that playing chess is very coherent, and Li Xiaoqiang's play today obviously violates this chess theory.

Of course, the old god stick can't agree with this kind of play, because for people who pay attention to chess theory, the combination of these two moves makes people feel awkward no matter how they look at it.

But this move is highly recommended by Mr. Wu Qingyuan.

What's more interesting is that Mr. Wu doesn't do much about the normal "entrustment and withdrawal" formula, although he did not clearly say that "entrustment and withdrawal" is not good, but he made it clear that he does not like this kind of substitution.

He doesn't like it in normal times, but on the contrary, it is an occasion that everyone thinks is inappropriate, but he recommends everyone to do this, so what is the reason?

Although Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what Mr. Wu Qingyuan thought about himself, he now decided to explain this move according to his own understanding:

"As we all know, the so-called pinch attack in Go, such as this move "Erjian High Clamp", is intended to produce an offensive in this part, so I would like to ask Mr., attack, attack is just a means in Go, what is the ultimate purpose of our attack? ”

It's just that after throwing out such a question, Li Xiaoqiang didn't continue to speak. He looked at the old god stick opposite with a smile, he believed that with the deep skills of the old god stick, it was not difficult for him to understand what he meant. Sure enough, after the old god stick closed his eyes and thought for a while, he sighed faintly:

"You're right, this place is my picture. Alas, when it comes to the flexibility of thinking, the quick change of thinking when playing chess, then I have to count Mr. Wu, this is where I am not as good as him... ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, he knew in his heart that at this time, the old god stick already understood the meaning of this move, or rather, he already knew the chess theory contained in this move.

Of course, the attack in Go is not an attack for the sake of attacking, the so-called "attack profit", and the ultimate goal of any attack method is of course to obtain actual benefits.

What's more, the situation on the board is often fast-moving, and it is entirely possible that the offensive and defensive situation can be reversed immediately because of just one or two moves, so at this time, you must adjust your strategy according to your opponent's response.

For example, today's change, when Li Xiaoqiang played the "two high clamps", his original intention was of course to attack, but the opponent took the safest move, and the old god stick had two consecutive "single jumps", which was the most concise and brisk move. It can be said that with these two moves, this is already an unvulnerable shape.

Since the opponent is no longer easy to attack, at this time, it may not be a good choice for you to stick to the previous ideas.

Therefore, at this time, Mr. Wu's move came into being!

Since the opponent is already difficult to attack, why don't I simply change my thinking and obtain practical benefits at this time? Coherence is important when playing chess, but what is more important than coherence is knowing how to be flexible and know how to judge the situation!

Lao Shen Stick is a generation of chess masters, and his gorgeous and charming chess style has fascinated many people, including Li Xiaoqiang himself, who is a fan of Lao Shen Stick, but on this specific issue, Li Xiaoqiang is still on the side of Mr. Wu Qingyuan. That's why he deliberately used this method in Mr. Xiuxing's retreat today.

Seeing that the old god stick looked silent, Li Xiaoqiang knew that he understood the meaning. However, there are still people next to him who have objections, and what is even more interesting is that it is Mr. Lin Haifeng who raised the objection.

Don't look at Lin Haifeng is a disciple of Mr. Wu, but his Go philosophy is really different from Mr. Wu.

"I fully agree with the flexible idea of this move, but what about the "two high sandwiches" in front of me? It's impossible to ignore this kid, right? ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, and did not answer Mr. Lin's question directly, he once again set his eyes on the old god.

Indeed, the most criticized part of this step of "retreat" is not only the problem of inconsistent thinking, but more importantly, it is believed that after this move, the opponent's chess will be "hit thick" invisibly, so that the opponent will form a thick momentum, according to the principle of "don't get too close to the opponent's thick momentum", then now look at the other way around, the position of this step "two high clamps" is a bit inappropriate, it seems to be very close to the opponent's thick potential.

But then again, is that string of "single level jumps" really a thick trend?

Today is the retirement ceremony of the old god stick, playing chess with his old man, of course Li Xiaoqiang can't use brute force to bully others, otherwise it will be too boring to do so. But Li Xiaoqiang said that he was serious today, and he was competing seriously with the old god. What is the competition? The competition is about the concept of Go, and the competition is about the understanding of Go.

And this local offense and defense is actually this kind of competition. The old god stick thinks that he has formed a thick force, so he thinks that Li Xiaoqiang can't go down like that. As for Li Xiaoqiang, in this part he and Mr. Wu have the same understanding, he thinks that the string of "single level jumps" is just not easy to attack, but it is far from being called a "thick potential".

This is what Li Xiaoqiang meant when he didn't speak, because in today's game of chess, the latter two sides are fighting wits and courage around this part. Li Xiaoqiang's series of flexible and compact moves made it impossible to play that string of "thick potential", which is the key to winning this game.

As a gamer, the old god stick knows best in his heart. His eyes were fixed on the chessboard, as if to find a flower from the game.

"Is this the Go of the future?"

The old god stick repeated this question again, and seeing that he still had a lonely expression, Li Xiaoqiang of course knew that he was not because he lost, but because his concept was subverted.

It's like a faith being collapsed.

Li Xiaoqiang's expression also became serious, and he replied positively:

"Yes, sir, I think the game of Go in the future will be like this. In the future, you can be allowed to make mistakes, but you are never allowed to slow down. A gorgeous and charming style like yours... Maybe never to be seen again! ”

The old god stick finally raised his head, and he stared at Li Xiaoqiang: "Is this really the case?" ”

"At least in my lifetime, I think it will be."

The old god man sighed, of course he knew that Li Xiaoqiang's words had other meanings. Li Xiaoqiang is not talking about him personally, Li Xiaoqiang's words are actually euphemistic criticism of Japanese Go as a whole, but because Li Xiaoqiang is still young, his words are not so direct.

By this time, the decline of Japanese Go has been very obvious, and instead of saying any other reasons, its biggest crux, Li Xiaoqiang's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head:

The trend of the development of Go in the whole world is as Li Xiaoqiang said, "it is better to make mistakes than to slow down", and only Japanese Go is still insisting on "rather slow down and not make mistakes".

And the person who subverts the inherent concept of the Go world and leads the new trend of the world is, of course, Li Xiaoqiang.

"Li Sang, let me ask you another question, do you think that in our system, there is really no value?"

"Of course not!"

Li Xiaoqiang continued to respond to the old god stick, and he changed his tone to a more relaxed and joking tone:

"I remember my husband said that if you can only play 6 or 7 at the top of 100, then it is a pride that Japanese Go can establish such a perfect system in the development stage of Go. Even if... The system will soon collapse. ”

"I've played chess all my life, and my career has been in this century, and now it's the end of the century, and I can say that I have seen all the great geniuses of this century, all the people of the world. Of course, Li Sang is also a peerless genius, but do you know Li Sang? In my mind, you're only ranked 3rd in this century in terms of genius."

"Huh!?"

Probably all geniuses' thinking is always imaginative, although Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know why the old god stick changed the topic, but he is still very interested in the old god stick's words: himself ranks third? So who will be in the top 2?

Not only Li Xiaoqiang, but all the guests today are interested in the words of the old god stick, and want to hear what the old god stick has to say about the game of Go in this century.

"In first place is Mr. Wu Qingyuan...

This did not surprise everyone, including Li Xiaoqiang himself. Since Li Xiaoqiang is only ranked 3rd, there must be one in front of him who is Mr. Wu Qingyuan, which is something that you don't have to think about.

In fact, everyone is interested in the second choice, who will this person be? Is it the old god stick's former sworn enemy Sakata Eio? Is it Nie Whirlwind, who is extremely similar to the style of the old god stick? Is it one of the "six supers"? Is it Lao Cao? Or is it the Japanese Xiurong celebrity who was once the most admired by the old god stick?

The words of the old god stick surprised everyone:

"In second place is South Korea's Lee Seok-fo...

After hearing his words, everyone thought that the old god stick was really old and confused now.

"Li Xiaoqiang No. 1, Li Shifo No. 2", isn't this what your old man said personally? Why Li Shi Buddha and how can it be Li Shi Buddha?

If it's someone from another generation, then you can say whatever you want, because after all, there is no comparison. But now you want to talk about Li Shifo? Li Shifo, who is now completely suppressed by Li Xiaoqiang?

Fujisawa Hideyuki ignored the others, he only stared at Li Xiaoqiang and asked:

"I'm just referring to the level of genius, Li Sang, am he convinced when I say this?"

Li Xiaoqiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then responded to the old god stick with a wry smile: "Of course, it is impossible to be completely convinced, but I must admit that in some specific aspects, his chess is indeed higher than mine... ”

The old god stick waved his hand:

"Mr. Wu's chess skills are varied, mysterious, although Li Sang is known as the "chessboard wizard", but in this area of talent, you should still be slightly inferior to Mr. Wu, Li Shifo's chess is precise and rigorous, meticulous, this is also a way to open the sect, you are also slightly inferior in this regard. If I say this, Li Sang will be convinced, right? ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled. What else can Li Xiaoqiang say? Can he talk back to the old god stick at this time? And to be honest, Li Xiaoqiang himself agrees with the old god stick in his mind. Mr. Wu won't talk about him first, even if it is Li Shifo, Li Xiaoqiang never thinks that his Go talent is stronger than Li Shifo. After all, his things are original to him and unique to him, which is what Li Xiaoqiang thinks is inferior to him.

However, after asking Li Xiaoqiang, the old god's tone changed:

"But then again, your Go talent may not be as good as theirs, but in terms of chess strength, it should still be your strongest, and I even think that the strongest person in the Go world in the past 100 years is you Li Xiaoqiang. Li Shifo won't talk about him first, the fact that he was completely suppressed by you is obvious to everyone, I think even if Mr. Wu comes to play chess with you, if you can bet, I will bet on you to win. ”

Li Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed, a little ashamed, and a little crying and laughing at the same time. The heart said that the old god stick is going on today? How to talk upside down, first said that his Go talent can only rank 3rd, and then said that his chess ability can be ranked 1st.

Well, there seems to be a precedent for the 3rd to overtake the 2nd, such as his famous predecessor Li Xunhuan, who can only rank 3rd in the weapon spectrum, but in the end he defeated Shangguan Jinhong, who ranked 2nd. Could it be that our old Li family has this tradition? Specializing in the 3rd win and 2nd thing?

Just when Li Xiaoqiang wanted to get into trouble, the voice of the old god stick sounded again, because the communication between Li Xiaoqiang and the old god stick needed a translator, but looking at the expression of the old god stick, Li Xiaoqiang knew that the play was coming.

What else does the old god stick want to say? Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sit up straight. (To be continued.) )
