Chapter 787: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
As the "gold medal anchor" of "Go TV", Mengmeng is indeed overjoyed with Li Xiaoqiang's arrival. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Go TV" has been established for several years, and it has also shown its unique influence, but during this period, Li Xiaoqiang rarely came here to do programs. The reason for this is very simple, from Liu Xing, the founder of "Go TV", to Mengmeng and others, they are all typical "derogatory schools", but what about Li Xiaoqiang? The former "heirs of ancient chess", and now the banner of "Chonggu School".
Each other's ideas are different, and the so-called different ways do not conspire with each other, which is why Li Xiaoqiang rarely comes to "Go TV" as a guest.
Different from the previous life, due to Li Xiaoqiang's existence and Li Xiaoqiang's huge influence, the momentum of the "Chonggu School" is very different from the previous life. Although it cannot be said that it completely overwhelms the "derogatory faction", at least it can stand up to the court, and not the voices from the professional Go world, especially from young professional chess players, as in the previous life, are mostly derogatory to the ancients.
Although Li Xiaoqiang himself thinks that the question of which is stronger and weaker like ancient chess, even if it is debated to the point of absurdity, there will be no conclusion. But at least one thing is clear:
Compared with the "ancient school", most of the "ancient school" are very superficial.
Take "Go TV", the base camp of the "derogatory school", for example, two years ago, they also made a series of programs about ancient chess. Everyone must admit that in that series, the best and most in-depth are precisely the episodes of the programs that Mr. Li Jiaqing did.
As for other derogatory programs, Li Xiaoqiang can only give a 4-word evaluation; One is pale and the other is superficial.
Of course, the battle of ideas is a battle of ideas, but this does not affect the relationship between Li Xiaoqiang and young chess players such as Mengmeng. Especially at present, the alpha dog is the focus of the entire world chess world, and Li Xiaoqiang has never expressed his opinion before, he wants to say that the alpha dog chooses "Go TV" for the first time, which is of course undesirable for Mengmeng and others.
The show is conducted in a conversational format. A chessboard, two boxes of chess pieces, Li Xiaoqiang and Mengmeng sat on both sides, and the program "Li Xiaoqiang Says Dogs" began.
"Teacher Li, look at this... Where do we start? ”
What made Mengmeng a little embarrassed was that the first sentence Li Xiaoqiang said, the first entry point he chose, turned out to be to start from medieval chess:
"Mengmeng, after seeing the performance of the alpha dog, I think you should have a new understanding of second-hand chess, right?"
"Ah?。。。h
Li Xiaoqiang didn't talk too much nonsense, he began to play chess on the chessboard. At this time, Mengmeng's spirits were lifted, because he could see from Li Xiaoqiang's skillful movements that Li Xiaoqiang should have conducted a deep study of the alpha dog, and he made meticulous preparations for this series.
Although the current alpha dog is famous all over the world, there is not much information that everyone can get into. Until now, what everyone knows is its 5 games of chess with Fan Erduan, 5 games of chess with Xiao Li, and a few games of its own "left and right" chess, nothing more.
What Li Xiaoqiang is doing now is to show the ancient chess elements in some of Alpha Dog's moves one by one according to this information.
“。。。 You see, in the face of the most famous layman "Spire" in this move, modern chess players probably don't want to think about "Shangli", right? For modern chess players, this move is like a reflex. But what do you think of the alpha dog? It's either down, or two-way sticky, do you think this kind of play is strange, do you think it's rare? Mengmeng, let me tell you, this kind of chess may be rare in modern times, but it is too common in medieval chess. This kind of response is what we often call "positive change" in medieval chess... ”
“。。。 In the face of this step, I don't know how you feel when you see the alpha dog taking off frequently? Anyway, when I see the response of the alpha dog, it always reminds me of a sentence... ”
"What?"
"Starting and flying, it's not too tight" 。。。"
“。。。 This is a concept advocated by medieval chess, and a concept diametrically opposed to modern Go, although I don't know who is right and who is wrong, but from the choice of the alpha dog, we can think so: it still agrees with the concept of medieval chess... ”
“。。。 Also, you see in the game of Alpha Dog, it frequently plays this "five-way jump", I remember not long ago, you criticized this kind of play, you think this kind of play is too empty, it is not easy to grasp in actual combat. But you have to know that in medieval chess, this kind of play is too common, it can be said that in medieval chess, such a play is second only to the hanging corner and the "ninety-point shot"... ”
“。。。 Also, you see this move to increase the stars and fly, is this a move like ancient chess? . . ”
“。。。 And also, you see this step of the rush... ”
Li Xiaoqiang revealed these methods one by one, which opened Mengmeng's eyes, and the chess fans who watched this episode of the show were even more eye-opening. At this time, Mengmeng finally couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher Li, do you think that the strength of the alpha dog is because of these ancient chess elements?"
"Of course not, in Alpha Dog's Go, there are many elements of medieval chess, but no one can deny that there are more elements of modern chess."
"Then Mr. Li, what do you mean... What do you think is so powerful about the alpha dog? ”
Mengmeng actually wants to say, since you don't think that these ancient chess elements make Alpha Dog so powerful, then what do you mean by saying so much? Fortunately, he stopped in time and asked a question that many ordinary chess fans, including him, were very concerned about:
In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, what is the power of the alpha dog?
Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, he organized the language a little, but what he said still made Mengmeng slightly stunned:
"Mengmeng, I know that in your heart, you look down on ancient chess very much, think that they are of low level, and think that after so many years of development and technology accumulation, the current level of Go must be the same as before. What is the saying? It's called standing on the shoulders of giants. Well, Mengmeng, I'll ask you now, do you really think: Go can stand on the shoulders of giants? ”
Mengmeng was asked, he was speechless at this time. Many chess fans who were watching the show were also asked, whether this chess fan was a reverent or degraded ancient school before, they were thinking about Li Xiaoqiang's words at this time.
Can you stand on the shoulders of giants in the game of Go? The answer is obvious:
No! No!
To take the simplest example, if Go is compared to a peak, compared to Mount Everest, Li Xiaoqiang was once the strongest, then it can be considered that he was once the closest to the summit. Li Xiaoqiang once reached an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level? Altitude of 2000 meters above sea level?
This specific height can be ignored for the sake of time, and it has no practical significance. What is really meaningful is that any latecomer, such as Ke Jie, can he continue on the road with the height that Li Xiaoqiang once reached?
The answer is a resounding yes, of course not!
Any chess player, as long as he is human, he must honestly start from the beginning, he cannot stand on the shoulders of any giant. It could even be said that he did not even have more advanced climbing tools. Non-stop practice, non-stop hard work, this is the only basis for his improvement.
How high he can reach depends entirely on his talent and how hard he works. This has nothing to do with "technological accumulation", and it has nothing to do with "evolutionary theory".
Mengmeng was in a daze, at this time, he even felt that Li Xiaoqiang was not here to talk about the alpha dog today, but to play on the field.
Until Li Xiaoqiang's next sentence. At this time, Mengmeng only heard Li Xiaoqiang sigh lightly:
"Yes, in the game of Go, humans can't stand on the shoulders of giants, but people can't, machines can, the reason why the alpha dog is so powerful, the difference between it and humans is because it stands on the shoulders of giants."
Silence, Mengmeng fell silent, not only him, but many chess fans were not interested in Li Xiaoqiang's words.
All this, until Mengmeng asked Li Xiaoqiang the next question:
"Mr. Li, you know that there are many calls now, and I hope you will go and compete with the alpha dog, so what do you think if you go to fight the alpha dog, what are your chances of winning?"
"Hehe, I don't know in the future, if it's this dog now, I'm confident that I can beat it."
"Ahh
Mengmeng's eyes widened, and many chess fans were also in high spirits.
"Lee... Mr. Li, I heard you right, right? ”
"You heard me right, I just said that I have the confidence to defeat the Alpha Dog."
"Reason... Reason. ”
Li Xiaoqiang glanced at Mengmeng with a smile, and at this time Li Xiaoqiang's eyes were bright:
"The reason is this: the machine can stand on the shoulders of giants, but it ... can only stand on the shoulders of giants ... ”
