After Li Xiaoqiang finished talking about his understanding of "watching chess in the third section". The topic of the three people finally came to the question of "correctly viewing the standards of ancient chess". At this time, Fang Lao and Zhang Zhidong were ready to continue to listen to Li Xiaoqiang's "high-minded talk". Because they know that Li Xiaoqiang's age is very young, but he has always had his own ideas. Not to mention in the field of Go, even for other issues...... How so? Maybe Fang Lao didn't feel anything. Anyway, reporter Zhang Da knew it in his heart.

Reporter Zhang Da believes that he is also a "well-informed" modern hipster man. But Li Xiaoqiang's psychological maturity can definitely throw off a few streets of himself. After Zhang Zhidong had this understanding, he was actually very uncomfortable in his heart. He just refused to admit it in front of the public for the sake of face.

But the two waited for a long time, and they couldn't get Li Xiaoqiang to speak. Reporter Zhang Da looked up, but found that Li Xiaoqiang looked pensive, looking at that, he seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory. Seeing his appearance, Zhang Zhidong finally couldn't help but speak:

"Hey, hey, I said Xiaoqiang, I just can't get used to seeing you like this. You said that you are a 10-something-and-a-half-old child, what are you pretending to be deep there every day...... Well, I can't stand you. I don't know what I'm thinking all day long......"

Li Xiaoqiang ignored him, he still maintained a pensive expression. To be precise, at this time, Li Xiaoqiang was indeed reminiscing. He was reminiscing about the decades of his previous life, the days of his previous life as a Go enthusiast. He is looking back on his present life, the professional Go road he has just walked in this life.

Go is a fascinating intellectual game. Everyone who likes Go can find their own reasons to like Go. What about Li Xiaoqiang? What is the reason why he, a person who has been reborn once, would rather give up other seemingly promising careers and choose the uneven and uncertain path of professional Go?

Li Xiaoqiang knows that what really fascinates him. Or the mysteries of Go itself. Whenever I see someone else make an unbelievable move, an exquisite idea, a precise and delicate sequence of moves. I'm fascinated by it. In addition to appreciation, there will be an abnormal desire in my heart, longing for such means, all of which are from my own hands.

"When I first started playing Go, someone told me. When it comes to Go, you must be in awe. Know how to appreciate other people's chess. Therefore, when I learn other people's chess games, I prefer to pay attention to those shining points in the chess games. I've always believed that a person's level of Go should be evaluated. It's not about how many bad moves he plays. It's about discovering other people's good chess. It is necessary to evaluate the level of the person by using the person who can play the highest level of chess. This is especially true when we are appreciating ancient scores. What do you think? Fang Lao. ”

Listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, Fang Lao showed a thoughtful look. Zhang Zhidong quickly put forward a different opinion:

"Xiaoqiang, it's a little inappropriate to do this. Mr. Kobayashi said the "barrel theory", I remember you also very much agreed. Why do you have to do the other way around when you go to the ancient spectrum? No, no, you're obviously doing double standards. ”

"Hehe, I think you're mistaken." The "barrel theory" also applies to Go. I agree with that. But have you noticed that when Mr. Kobayashi talks about the "barrel theory", he is actually talking about himself. In other words, this is a requirement he has set for himself. Ask yourself not to have shortcomings. A chess player can't be wrong with such a standard. But when reading music, you have to see the longest part of the house. This is a basic attitude. I even think that only to do this. It is possible to draw the most accurate judgment. ”

"Tsk," strict self-discipline, lenient to others. Yes, yes, it turns out that Xiaoqiang's realm is very high. ”

"Reporter Zhang, I think you are still mistaken, it has nothing to do with my personal attitude. I just think so, only when we look at the chess of the ancients with such an eye can we come to the most objective judgment. ”

After Li Xiaoqiang finished speaking, reporter Zhang Da did not speak again. But the disdain in his eyes is still something that anyone can see.

"I know you're not convinced, so let's take a very simple example. For example, let's take 2 chess cards, one is played by you and the other is played by me. Let's first redact the names of the players. So how will we distinguish these two games? ”

"Oh?"

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, even Elder Fang was interested. Of course, because to identify the level of a chess game, in fact, the most important thing that affects the objectivity of the conclusion is mainly preconceived notions. Such notions are very deep-rooted. For example, now take out a chess game of Li Xiaoqiang, and others will first have a prediction, what level Li Xiaoqiang is at now.

If the names of the players are hidden, what kind of methods will everyone use to distinguish Li Xiaoqiang from Zhang Zhidong? Seeing that Fang Lao and Zhang Zhidong were both in deep thought. Li Xiaoqiang continued to talk eloquently:

"Let's say we're faced with a game that doesn't have any other information. What we can see is that the players stay on the board and start step by step. I have simply categorized these moves, which can be roughly divided into 4 types, 1: good or good moves, 2: normal moves, and 3rd: sub-level moves, or bad moves. No. 4: The incomprehensible chess, which is often referred to as the "spoon". Two, I probably don't miss anything in this classification, right? ”

"Hehe......"

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's more bizarre classification method. Fang Lao and Zhang Zhidong looked at each other and smiled. After thinking briefly for a while, Elder Fang said solemnly to Li Xiaoqiang:

"Xiaoqiang, it seems that what you said is right, to distinguish the level of a chess game, you must indeed find the biggest shining point in the chess game. Only by doing so can we be truly objective and fair. ”

After listening to Fang Lao's words, reporter Zhang Da was a little reluctant. He hurriedly distinguished:

"Elder Fang, it seems a little wrong for you to do this, right? You can't accommodate everything to Xiaoqiang...... Well, for bad moves or spoons in the game. This certainly does not represent a person's normal level. So why is it necessary to use a good hand to represent a person's level? Isn't it the most objective to start with "normal start"? ”

"Hehe, I said Reporter Zhang, you are now following me and Fang Lao every day, why haven't you grown a little? If you think about it, if you only use normal starting as a criterion, how can you distinguish between you and me? ”

"This ......"

Reporter Zhang Da thought about it carefully. He was finally speechless. The reason for this is actually quite simple. Use the magic moves in the game to reflect a person's true level. This may seem a bit illogical, but in fact, only by doing so can it be done in the fairest way. The final conclusion can be the most objective. At the very least, more objective than any other method.

Let's take the current Li Xiaoqiang as an example. His current official career five-dan, such a level, is what we often call the high-level of the profession. Although he is known as a "child prodigy", he claims to rarely make mistakes when playing chess. But to be fair, there must have been times when he played bad chess. As long as people are playing chess, then mistakes are inevitable. Of course, you can't measure his level with his "spoon". If you just stare at his spoon. Can you say that a professional chess player is the same as a beginner? It certainly doesn't make sense.

In the same way, you can't keep staring at other people's bad moves. Because even if you are a top professional chess player, bad chess is inevitable. If you are always staring at other people's bad moves, then a professional master may be regarded as an amateur by you.

If you analyze it carefully, you are using "normal start" to evaluate a person's level. In fact, it is easy to have deviations. Li Xiaoqiang compares himself with Zhang Zhidong, in fact, this is what he means. Because in a game. Professionally trained. Zhang Zhidong, who belongs to the top amateur masters. Most of the "normal starts" he gave out were no different from Li Xiaoqiang. With this part of the moves, in fact, it is impossible to distinguish between the two.

What can really see the gap is still the chess that can represent Li Xiaoqiang's highest level. Li Xiaoqiang uses his professionalism. Use your brilliant ideas and deep calculations to play some high-quality chess. Only this part of the content can distinguish him from Zhang Zhidong. Because there is only this part of the chess, Zhang Zhidong can't play. You can only rely on this part of the chess. to distinguish the level of two people.

Does such an analysis make sense? Li Xiaoqiang believes that when identifying ancient genealogies, there is still a certain reason for this, right? In such a way. Although it may not be possible to draw the most correct conclusions. But there is no way to do it, because it is very difficult to determine a person's Go level. But at the very least, compared to any other method, such a method may be the most reliable. It may also be the closest to the truth.

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's analysis, his method was finally recognized by the other two. Everyone unanimously decided to follow Li Xiaoqiang's method. In fact, Li Xiaoqiang did this from the beginning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fooled Chang Rensheng and them in. Let these peers of his own age work together to complete this work that Li Xiaoqiang thinks is very meaningful.

In Li Xiaoqiang's vision, let this very meaningful work grow with everyone!

"There is nothing wrong with Xiaoqiang's proposed method, but I still have a question. What is the reason for you to come up with such a method? ”

"Awe! Out of my awe of Go! Probably because I've always been in awe of Go, I'm eager to learn about the mysteries of Go. That's why I'm very sensitive to the most shining part of any game when I study it. Maybe that's why I thought about it. ”

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang looked at Fang Lao calmly. Old Fang also looked at Li Xiaoqiang in front of him blankly. For a long time, Elder Fang seemed to be touched by something, he let out a long sigh, and he muttered to himself there:

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I always thought that although my old man didn't have any skills, my attitude towards things was quite serious. My position has always been fair. To be honest, this has always been something I've been proud of. However, after listening to Xiaoqiang's words, I suddenly realized that the belief I had always insisted on had been lost unconsciously. Well, introspection, it looks like I need to introspect......"

"Elder Fang!"

"Old Fang, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, Fang Lao came back to his senses, and he smiled and said to Li Xiaoqiang:

"Thank you, Xiaoqiang! Your words touched me a lot and gave me a chance to reflect......"

Subsequently. Elder Fang turned his gaze to Zhang Zhidong, and he continued:

"Xiao Zhang, you should know that my old man originally studied history. From a certain point of view, when we study these ancient scores, we are also studying the history of Go. This is probably a kind of history. We all know that for the calendar, we must have a belief in history. There was once a master who described this issue in detail. I am very convinced of the teachings of this master. I've always thought too. I myself use this attitude to do my studies. I really didn't expect it, when I listened to Xiaoqiang's words, especially after hearing the word awe. It was only then that I realized that what I believed in myself, what I believed in myself, had been lost without realizing it. I need to introspect! I really need to reflect on ......."

It could be seen that Elder Fang seemed to be stimulated by something, and he continued to nag there:

"I really want to memorize the master's teachings now. First, it is to deepen my impression so that I can reflect on it. Second, I want to encourage Xiao Zhang......"

After saying this. Elder Fang even closed his eyes and memorized the book regardless of it. Looking at his pious appearance, he looked like an enlightened child who had just entered the school. At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhidong were also listening quietly.

“…… First: Believe in the nationals of any country. In particular, nationals who claim to be above the level of knowledge should have a slight knowledge of the past history of their home country. Otherwise, at most, it is only a person with knowledge. You can't be counted as a knowledgeable national ......"

When they first heard this article 1, Li Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhidong did not react.

“…… Second, those who know a little about the past history of their own country must be accompanied by a kind of warmth and respect for the past history of their own country. Otherwise, you will only know some foreign history, and you will not have knowledge of your own history......"

Hearing this second article, Zhang Zhidong's face turned slightly red.

“…… Thirdly, those who have a so-called warmth and respect for the past history of their own country will not at least have a radical nihilism about the history of their own country, that is, regard the past history of their country as worthless, and nothing is sufficient to satisfy him. At least we don't feel that we are now at the highest point of history, which is a shallow and arrogant view of evolution. And all the sins and weaknesses that we are responsible for are blamed on the ancients. This is a paradoxical cultural condemnation......"

After hearing this Article 3, Li Xiaoqiang looked at Elder Fang in front of him with respect. Originally, in order to persuade Fang Lao, Li Xiaoqiang also prepared a lot of "dry materials". He was originally going to talk to Elder Fang about the difference between the "seat system" and the "small order system". Let's take a look at the different ideas of Go. However, he knew that by this time, he no longer had to do Elder Fang's work.

As long as there is Fang Lao's attitude, then his and Fang Lao's work will definitely be able to bear fruitful fruits.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Li Xiaoqiang is also ready to go home. On this day, it was Zhang Zhidong who sent Li Xiaoqiang to the station.

"Xiaoqiang, what Elder Fang said last time, which master said it?"

"Damn, I dare you listen to it for a long time, but I still don't know who said it?"

"Ha, I said Xiaoqiang, you can pretend there. I admit I don't know, do you know? ”

"Hey......

Li Xiaoqiang did not pick up Zhang Zhidong's stubble. But these few words that Elder Fang said. Li Xiaoqiang still knows.

The person who said this was Qian Mu during the Republic of China period. This is a master of Chinese culture that even Hu Shizhi admires. What he expounded was about the belief in the treatment of history. You must know that the period in which he lived should be regarded as a very dark period in history. The criticism of inheritance should be the mainstream of people of insight in that era. It is for this reason that it is also possible. Master Qian was able to say such a thing, which showed that he was extraordinary.

Shouldn't those who are complacent and boastful, those who lack reverence, blush compared to the masters? (To be continued......)
