"Jinjing Rail" is a very old method of playing, which can be regarded as a kind of "star style". Who was the first to make this move? There is no way to verify this now. However, at least in the Song Dynasty, this formula had appeared, which was already common in chess games at that time. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the ancient chess was very thorough in studying this change. Similar to "Double Flying Swallow", "Inverted Weeping Lotus" and so on, "Jinjing Column" is also one of the classic variations in medieval chess.

Of course, the reason why "Jinjinglan" is so famous is not only because of its antiquity, but also because of a fairly famous story in the history of Go. This story takes place in an exchange between China and Japan Go, and this story represents a humiliating history of Chinese Go. Of course, this famous story also made the classic Go style of "Jinjing Rail" famous all over the world.

The so-called "life is quick to ask Qiu Weng, and Jinjinglan wins the one-eyed dragon." That's the kind of story that comes to the story.

It happened in the early years of the Republic of China. As you know, during that period, Chinese Go was completely at its lowest ebb. A Japanese professional four-dan like Michihei Takabe was able to make more than 2 chess players at the highest level in China at that time.

In the history of the development of Chinese Go, there is a special figure, this person is Duan Qirui, one of the "Three Masters of Beiyang". In the Beiyang government during the Republic of China, Duan Qirui was quite famous for playing Go. As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu and Xuantong asked questions, and a group of chess players had gathered around Lao Duan to play games from time to time. For example, Wang Yunfeng, Gu Shuiru, and Wu Qingyuan and others when they were teenagers were all begging for a living under him. Michihei Takabe of Japan has visited China many times. Most of them communicated with Chinese chess players under his reception. From the early days of the Republic of China to the thirties, his mansion chess players came and went endlessly. Looking at Lao Duan's life, I won't evaluate it elsewhere, but it's fair to say. In the protection of the cause of Chinese Go, Lao Duan still played a considerable role.

Once, there was a professional six-dan in Japan, and the name was Heijiro Hirose. Lao Duan asked Wang Yunfeng to play chess with him, because during that period, Japan's rank system was still quite strict, and the fifth section was a hurdle. Those who had more than five dan were called "high dans", and there were not many "high dan players" in Japan at that time.

All right. This time, since there is a "high section", these chess players like the older generation of China are all at the level of the "low section" of Takabe Michihei, so Wang Yunfeng VS Hirose Heijiro is a game of chess. The chess piece is set to make 3 discs.

Let's be honest. When Wang Yunfeng received this task, he was actually under a lot of pressure. Because no matter how you say it, he was the first-rate master in China at that time. was given 2 sons, and there was no way, because the gap in level was there. If this makes the 3 sons still unable to win......

Therefore, it can be said that Mr. Wang has to find a way to win this game of chess with 3 pieces. But how to win? If you want to win. Many people's first reaction is to look for a "flying knife", which seems to be the case in ancient and modern China and abroad, right? Mr. Wang is naturally no exception. And this "flying knife" he found. It is the classic "Jinjing Column" in ancient chess.

Legend has it that Wang Yunfeng, with the help of his friends, found a "three-son genealogy" compiled by a hundred years old. It records the detailed changes of the "Kanei Column". Wang Yunfeng studied some of the most difficult tricks and used them in this game. Everyone knows the final result, and under the surprise, Heijiro Hirose made a mistake. He ended up losing the set as well.

The incident caused a sensation at the time. At that time, there was a chess historian named Xu Runzhou, who once wrote a poem when he recounted the game of chess between the two, which is the reason for "asking Qiu Weng about the quick things in his life, and Jinjinglan won the one-eyed dragon".

To say that this poem is actually very unkind, Wang Yunfeng is called "Qiu Weng" because of his "Ask Autumn Yinshe Commentary", and what about Heijiro Hirose? Because he was blind in one eye, he is called the "one-eyed dragon" in the verses.

To be honest, in this story, although it ended with the victory of the Chinese chess player. But Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that this story is not actually anything to be proud of, but more a reflection of the humiliating history of Chinese Go.

It can be imagined that when the "Three Sons Spectrum" compiled by Bailing was actually used as a Go textbook. In other words, for these chess players in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a formula similar to the "Jinjing Column", which is actually the basic skills, is written for 3-level chess players. The national players at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China were not even familiar with this basic skill, which shows how much Chinese Go had declined in that era.

Admittedly, those days are gone. Just today, in the modern World Go Championship, Li Xiaoqiang once again sacrificed the "Jinjing Column". What does he mean?

"Ma Xiao, you can help me analyze, although "Jinjinglan" is very famous, but there are not many people now. What does Xiaoqiang mean today? Did he come up with a surprise? Or do you also use this change as a flying knife and want to test Liu Changhyuk? ”

In the viewing room, the other three Chinese chess players were all playing, and Ma Xiaofei naturally became the main force of research. When he saw Li Xiaoqiang not playing cards according to the convention, he was stunned for a moment, and then savored Li Xiaoqiang's intentions.

"Although I haven't completely seen it clearly, one thing is certain, when Xiaoqiang chose this change, he should have the intention of surprise, but he should not have regarded this change as a flying knife. The idea of expecting someone else to make a wrong move to win is not only unreliable, but also very dangerous. Besides, according to Xiaoqiang's current strength, does he still need to rely on flying knives to win chess...... Well, good chess! Good chess! I almost understand what Xiaoqiang means now. Xiaoqiang's choice of "Jinjing Column" at this time is indeed a very suitable method. ”

"What's the right way? Isn't it generally believed in modern times that the "Jinjing Column" is a little bit of a loss? Could it be that the national team has a new study on this change? ”

"Hehe, even you said that the change in the "Jinjing Column" is only a slight loss. What's more, this "slight loss" only refers to this part. In Go, there are many examples of local losses but global gains. For example, Xiaoqiang's choice today is such a typical example. Tsk, Xiaoqiang can play such a move, it seems that his overall view has indeed been enhanced a lot. ”

"Please, be clear."

"To understand Xiaoqiang's intentions, you must first understand the intentions of his opponent. Let's take a look first, this game of chess is played by Liu Changhyuk. When Xiaoqiang "a low clip", he chose to jump up with a "single pass", if Xiaoqiang chooses the most ordinary response, then what pattern will be formed in this part? ”

"Naturally, it is a pattern of small strong land, and Liu Changhyuk takes the momentum."

"That's right, if Xiaoqiang chooses the most ordinary way to play, on the surface, it doesn't seem to be a loss, but you notice that there is no ......" When he said this, Ma Xiaofei pointed to another place on the chessboard.

"If it is played like this, it can be said that it is in the hands of black. At the very least, Yoo Chang-hyuk finally has a target to attack. ”

"This place? Can this place still be attacked? This is unlikely, doesn't Xiaoqiang's chess look very flexible? Could it be that Xiaoqiang's choice of "Jinjing Column" over there is really to take care of this side? ”

"Hehe, you're finally right this time. I think that's one of Xiaoqiang's intentions. You're right, Xiaoqiang's chess is indeed full of flexibility. It is really impossible to attack at this time. If black has a thick momentum over there, then the situation is different. At the very least, Xiaoqiang always has to make up for it in this place, whether it is early or late, white always has to make up a hand in this place. ”

"I now almost understand that the reason why Xiaoqiang chose the "Jinjing Column" is a way to take advantage of the situation, although it may be a little bit of a loss in the situation, but it can be compensated in this place. Because it is likely that there will be no need to make a play here. Is that so? ”

"yes, that's pretty much what it means."

"Ma Xiao, I noticed just now, you just said that this is just one of Xiaoqiang's intentions, does he have other intentions?"

Of course, I even think that the reason why Xiaoqiang chose "Jinjing Column" is that his second intention is more important than the first intention. With this move, I believe that Yoo Chang-hyuk's current rhythm has been completely disrupted. ”

"Rhythm?"

"That's right, it's the rhythm!" What is "Kanai Rail"? The statement you just defined as a change in the power of a small power is not entirely true. The real characteristic of "Jinjing Column" lies in its complexity and intensity, and the changes contained in it are a headache for even professional chess players. What's more, when Xiaoqiang chooses this change, the two sides will inevitably fight in this place. I'm now sure that Yoo Chang-hyuk should be a little reluctant to fight in this place. ”

"Will Yoo Chang-hyuk be afraid to fight? He is known as the number one attacker in the world. ”

"Hehe, although he has such a majestic nickname, but on the whole, Liu Changhe still prefers to slow down. For example, if Xiaoqiang chooses the conventional method, he likes that situation, he just likes to take it slowly. But now the situation is different. It can be described like this: Xiaoqiang dragged Liu Changhe into another battle at different times and in different places. What's worse is that he can't avoid this battle, and he is unlikely to take any advantage. That's enough for him to have a headache. This is the genius of Xiaoqiang. With one global choice, he easily changed the rhythm of the entire game. The current Xiaoqiang is indeed different from the original! ”

"So, are you optimistic about Xiaoqiang in this game of chess?"

"Yes, I'm optimistic about Xiaoqiang." Faced with Zhang Da's reporter's inquiry, Ma Xiaofei said without hesitation:

"It's hard to say what else will happen to you, but if you deal with this situation, I don't think there is any player in the world today who is stronger than Xiaoqiang, and the "world's number one attacker" can't be ......

Was Ma Xiaofei's prediction correct?

At around 5 p.m., the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhe ended. In the game room, Liu Changhe smiled bitterly, and he gloomily put the two chess pieces on the chessboard.

In the 5th "Toyo Securities Cup" World Professional Go Championship, Li Xiaoqiang once again reached the top 8. (To be continued......)
