Chapter 724: The Story of "Sealing Hands".
"Sealing hands" is unique to the "two-day" competition. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In an ordinary 3-hour game, there is also a 1-hour break at noon, but this situation can only be called "sealing", not "sealing".
The so-called "sealed hand" refers to the last move in the first day of the game, which does not appear on the board, but the player seals the hand and gives it to the referee, and then shows it on the second day.
Of course, everyone can understand the significance of this at a glance, both to ensure the fairness of the game and to prevent players from cheating.
The "hand-blocking" system originated in Japan and is only popular in Japanese chess circles. It is also interesting to note that the system of "sealing hands" is involved, which involves many secrets of modern Japanese Go.
Or many people say that Mr. Wu Qingyuan and Xiuya's celebrity game of "Star, Three, 3, Tianyuan" is the first game in the 20th century? This game of chess is not only rich in technical connotation and topical, but also because of this game of chess.
For example, the "sealed hand" system was born because of this game of chess.
Many people know that in the early years of Japanese Go competitions, it was a very long ultra-slow game. For example, this game of "No. 1 Game of the 20th Century", which was played for more than 100 days in total, was an ultra-slow game that took dozens of hours for each side.
Some people may ask, even if it is dozens of hours per party, it can be completed in 1 week at most, why does it take more than 100 days?
This was because of the unwritten rule in the Japanese Go world at that time: "Getting started" had the right to "hang" at any time. The so-called "hanging", that is, "getting started" can be stopped at any time.
"Get started" doesn't want to play today, he just needs to say to "get started", that's all for today, let's continue this game of chess another day...
The consequences of this can of course be imagined, and the fairness of the game is difficult to guarantee. Why did Mr. Wu Qingyuan still win a huge reputation after losing this game of the century? It can be assumed that there are also reasons for this. Because of this unfairness, many people feel that Xiuya is a bit invincible. For example, the famous "ghost hand" of the 160th move in that game of chess is said to have been discovered by Hideya gathering his disciples to study it collectively.
Of course, the point here is not the famous ghost hand, but the unfairness of the "hanging" system. It is precisely because the "hanging" system has been questioned by many people that the "sealing hand" system came into being.
The first "sealed hand" in the history of Go is also a game from Hideya, that is, the "Celebrity Retirement Battle" between him and Mr. Minoru Kitani.
In the face of the unfairness of the "hanging" system, Mr. Wu Qingyuan was Chinese, so he needed to swallow his anger at that time, but Mutani did not need it, so when he obtained the qualification to play retirement chess, he strongly requested to cancel the right to "hang".
That's the way it is, and that's how the "hand-blocking" system was established.
It can be said that "sealing hands" is a relatively unique scenery of Japanese Go. In the history of Go in modern Japan, there have been many interesting stories surrounding the "sealing of hands".
The first of the more famous "sealed hands" story occurred in the match between Hideya and Minoru Kitani. This game is also intermittent and takes many days, so in this game, there is more than one "closed hand". Moreover, "sealing hands" is different from "hanging", and "starting hands" also has the right to "seal hands".
The story happened in the step of Minoru Kitani's "sealing hand", and it is said that the celebrity Xiuya was furious when he saw this step of "sealing his hand", and once wanted to end this celebrity retirement war. Why is this so? Because Mr. Minoru Mutani's step of "sealing his hand" is very much like a step of "beating the general".
It's for this reason that the celebrity of Xiuya is unhappy, and he said in his heart, do you have a kid like you? You keep saying that you want to be fair, but now you yourself are "shutting down" with one step. What are you not perfunctory? Don't you just want to use the closing time to think more about the chess game...
Later, what did you say about the reason for Hideya to continue? This is because he later found out that Minoru Kitani's move was not a real "play", and a more accurate description should be called a "trial move".
Anyone who knows chess knows that, in a sense, "playing a general" and "trying to make a move" are very similar in form, and these two kinds of chess are the so-called "absolute first move" in the usual sense. "Trying to make a move" is about timing, and Mr. Minoru Kitani's move is just right in timing.
Although this "sealed hand" story is more famous, it is not very interesting, and another "sealed hand" story that happened to Fujisawa Hideyuki is much more interesting than this.
Different chess players have different habits when it comes to "sealing hands". Most people don't care if they play "blocks" or not, but some players especially like to play "blocks", and some players especially don't like to play "blocks"
And the old gods and ghosts of Xiuxing are typical people who don't like to "seal their hands".
He once said publicly: "I am a big man, so I don't like to "seal my hand", rather than "sealing my hand" after the whole night of gains and losses, it is better to let the opponent "seal my hand", so that I don't have to think about anything, and sleep well in peace... ”
The story finds that in a game of chess between him and Mr. Sakata, for a few years, Hideyuki and Sakata had a lot of fun, and this story happened during that period.
Mr. Hideyuki doesn't like to "seal his hand", and Mr. Sakata seems to have this habit too, and he doesn't like to seal his hand either. Therefore, in the decisive battle of a certain "celebrity war", the two made an appointment in advance after they met, and everyone took turns to "seal their hands", one person and one plate.
A game of chess should be Sakata's turn to "seal the hand". In the last few minutes of the first day of the game, Mr. Sakata was slow to make a move, so Xiuyuki was ready and thought that Sakata's next move should be a "closed hand".
Something interesting happened.,Just in the last minute of the game on the first day.,Mr. Sakata suddenly made a move on the chessboard.,Xiuyuki was dumbfounded.,He said in his heart that you're too unkind.,It's too untrustworthy.。 Said that one person and one plate "seal the hand"...
It can be imagined that the old god's blood was surging upwards at that time, and he didn't even want to take a step on the chessboard, and Sakata quickly returned the favor.
Strange things happened, the two of them actually crackled a lot of moves in the last 1 minute.
What was the final outcome of this game? The result was that the "sealing hand" was won by the old god stick, and he successfully forced Sakata to play this game of chess. However, the final result of this game of chess was a tragedy for the old god.
And his biggest defeat in that game of chess happened in that 1 minute, because of the lack of thinking about one move and not being rigorous enough, he did not turn over in the end after being seized by Sakata.
Compared with the stories of his predecessors, Li Xiaoqiang encountered a different situation today.
The old god stick played multi-move chess within 1 minute because he didn't want to play "sealing hands", and today's Li Shifo, he not only offered to play "sealing hands" by him, but also proposed so early that he wanted to end the first day of the game with 1 hour before the normal end.
What does Li Shifo mean by such an abnormal thing? This cannot but arouse Li Xiaoqiang's vigilance.
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang is not worried about what conspiracy Li Shifo will play against him. Li Xiaoqiang felt that things were abnormal, and he also considered them comprehensively in combination with the current situation.
At present, there are more than 80 chess moves in the chess game, which is a game of kung fu chess, and the situation is stalemate and delicate. This kind of chess is not a big chop, and the focus on the current chessboard is the stereotype of the mid-belly area.
The so-called "master in the belly" in Go is not a game, and the stereotype around the belly of the chessboard is generally a super difficult point in Go technology. At this time in the chess game, although Li Xiaoqiang's judgment is the same as that of the research room, he thinks that the situation is slightly favorable to him at present, but he does not dare to take it lightly at this time, he knows that the next mid-belly finalization will be the key to determining the outcome of the game.
From this point of view, Li Shifo's actions seem to be normal, since it is the key to the decisive victory, it is always good to be careful.
Despite this, Li Xiaoqiang still felt abnormal.
Li Xiaoqiang felt that the reason for the abnormality: although the chess game has been the key to the decisive victory, but when it comes to the next move, it should still be a very ordinary hand, and Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that this is "the only hand" at this time.
But at this time, Li Shifo suddenly proposed to "seal his hand", what did he mean?
The only reasonable end is that he found some covert means at this time, or some unique idea, so he made this request.
What did Li Shifo find?
Li Xiaoqiang didn't care about thinking about these for the time being, he first needed to reply to Li Shifo's request.
There is also a precedent for this kind of early closure in Japanese "two-day" competitions, and this is the norm in "two-day" competitions.
Referee Wang Lunan asked Li Xiaoqiang, although Li Xiaoqiang was puzzled, he couldn't embarrass Li Shifo on this issue, and he agreed to Li Shifo's request with a smile.
"What the hell does Li Shifo want to do...
On the night after the first day of the game, Li Xiaoqiang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Li Shifo, this kid, won't just make a false shot, just give me a psychological war...
In such cranky thoughts, Li Xiaoqiang fell asleep.
At the beginning of the second day of the game, when Wang Lunan opened the envelope, when Li Xiaoqiang saw Li Shifo's "sealed hand". Li Xiaoqiang knew that Li Shifo was not a false shot.
Li Shifo's "sealing hand" is indeed a very special hand.
After seeing Li Shifo's move, Li Xiaoqiang fell into a long test at the beginning of the second day of the game, and the most critical part of the game will come soon.
Even the battle that decided the ownership of the first "World Chess Saint" was coming soon. (To be continued.) )
