46 Why
Why are there fewer and fewer modern chess endgames worth circulating now?
Why is it that in many professional tournaments, there are so few players who are willing to play a full game?
These two problems once plagued Yang Zheng, who was a beginner in chess.
Because he thinks that chess is moving forward in general, although it is true that many ancient chess games have been turned into ashes due to war, and there is indeed a trend of chess faults, but the backbone young chess players who keep playing against artificial intelligence to learn are much higher than any era.
But why are most of the chess endgames circulating now ancient scores?
Yang Zheng was also curious and looked for answers many times on the Internet.
However, there are many malicious chess players on the Internet, and some answers full of malicious speculation also made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
He even feels that most of the so-called "people who understand" on the Internet are stepping on the "corpses" of tradition and humanity to highlight their "incomparable" "value".
He still remembers that a netizen commented, he said that why there are fewer and fewer modern chess endgames is because there are many chess players who cherish themselves and are unwilling to share their routines, for fear of being surpassed by future generations. Therefore, they know that the end of this game of chess will be a game of teaching classic material that will be circulated, but in order not to be surpassed, they would rather lose their reputation and admit defeat than let the game be recorded in the future.
This comment also received more than 3,000 likes, and Yang Zheng was almost emotionally mobilized at that time to believe it.
At that time, he also thought that he was a "person who understands", and after surfing the Internet for a long time, he also thought that he could see clearly the truth that many people could not see clearly.
Life will always be more like a teacher than the internet.
When he experienced a lot, he realized that many things can only be seen through by his own experience.
It's like this game of chess.
Tangled like a ball of yarn that can't find the thread, no matter what method you use, it is difficult to break through this dilemma.
He also had a fleeting thought of giving up.
I even felt that it was just a waste of time to continue going down.
But the thought was as fleeting as a meteor.
He didn't want to lose, and he didn't want to end the game so aggrieved.
At the very least, he wants to show all he has in this game.
Computing power, concentration, understanding of chess, as well as the presentation of the big picture and his character of never giving up, he didn't know why he thought the way he did, and he did it.
He didn't know why he thought of the malicious answer he was about to believe now.
He only knows that if he can persevere to the end, even if he loses, this chess game will be studied and studied by more people as a teaching bureau in the future.
Maybe there will be a lot of misunderstood beginners who have changed their attitude towards chess?
Perhaps, some chess players will be inspired by his game and improve their chess skills?
Yang Zheng is a little naïve, even naïve.
But he is like this, but it is true, and perhaps because of his truthfulness, he found a way to break the game by mistake.
Putting it to death and then being born is what he is best at.
Cutting through the mess doesn't sound like the surest solution, and while it may seem unwise, it's always the quickest way to get around.
The little old man relied on his appearance, ignoring the rules of the professional game, and the discontinuous change of tactics made his appearance seem to extend the time indefinitely.
The sudden advance of the soldier and the rise of the old handsome plus the advantage of the first move can also allow him to rely on the rule of winning first according to the face of the general when he is cornered, so that he has a lot of vitality.
But he also has a fatal flaw, that is, this game is very strong defensively and not enough offensively.
The chess pieces that cross the river are only three boys when they are full, and in the case of not being able to draw, all they can do is to move forward and rely on the terrain and cooperate with the lame horse's legs.
Many chess players, including the vast majority of professional players, have a misunderstanding, that is, in the endgame, the priority is the strength of their own chess pieces.
and not the shortcomings of the opponent's chess pieces.
Even many game-breakers are reluctant to move the big son until the end.
This also leads to the fact that many of the ways to solve the endgame are actually to play big and small.
Under Yang Zheng's mistake, the soldiers on the opposite side had lost the value of Kama's legs.
Now it's the little old man's turn to make a choice.
The little old man was very helpless to enter the army, because after Yang Zheng's breakthrough, he had no children to leave.
But after he entered the army, he looked at the hopeless black veteran, and he seemed to notice his impetuosity for the first time.
Pawns like pawns, you say he is useful, he is very useful, because in many endgames, pawns are the key to counterattack.
But their march was too slow, step by step, even though they could move left and right after crossing the river, their marching route could only be nakedly displayed in front of the other side.
As long as the opposite side takes a little prevention, the role of individual soldiers can only be described by the word limited.
Not only that, although the pawns who cross the river have many choices, they have no way to retreat when they are alone, and even in the case of a master on the opposite side, his characteristics of being slow and unable to retreat may become a help to the opponent.
In 99, at an exchange meeting of Xiangqi and Go, as a chess representative, the chess player should be the first person to play Go, and he let the soldiers face the nine sons, and the final result is still "and", on the contrary, the first person in Go on the opposite side was locked by the pawn, but his black pawn became the help of the representative of the red side.
Of course, this one is an exhibition game.
It is not possible to see the difference in chess power and computing power between the two in detail, but it can also prove that in front of the master, any chess piece on the opposite side can become his help.
The little old man thought for a long time for the first time, and then let the little soldier cross the river after Yang Zheng's departure.
He also saw that the strength of the two sides was actually about the same, and it still had a chance to checkmate the other side.
But unconsciously, the little old man didn't realize that his mentality had begun to change.
From a superior to a competitor.
This change in mentality also made Yang Zheng aware of it.
He is very sensible and staggers the pawn, although he has a great disadvantage in the back hand, but his mentality is much better than that of the little old man.
From the beginning to the end, he treated the game and his opponent as equals.
This kind of stable mentality, in a chess game with equal chess strength, is the key to determining the final outcome of the game.
The little old man walked a few more steps, and watching Yang Zheng's pawn get closer and closer to his old handsome, his mood suddenly became a little heavy.
It was clear that he had the advantage, but there was a voice in his heart that he would never win this game, and this voice made him feel fear, which he had not felt in many years.
Why does the voice in my heart say that I can't win?
He kept asking himself that he had never lost in decades, and he also thought that he would never lose in his life.
He looked up and looked around in alarm.
Those strangers made him feel even more afraid.
Like a child, he struggled to find his own lifeline in these fears.
He suddenly looked at Yang Zheng, and he was stunned.
Because there was a light in his eyes that he hadn't seen in a long time.
It's been a long time since he's seen that kind of look called "persistence".
Even in a desperate situation, I still believe in the eyes of hope.
"I throw in the towel."
The little old man was finally relieved.
At the moment when he chose to admit defeat, he suddenly thought that if he fought a game with him in a dignified manner, relying on his chess strength and no conspiracy, then maybe this game of chess would become the darling of chess commentary on the Internet.
If you don't dwell on the irrelevant remarks in the past, if you can stabilize your attitude and mentality, then your current chess strength will definitely not be like this.
But why, is he so stupid?
wasted so many years of time, just for what he thought was the "game world".
Obviously, I care so much about chess, and I must not be stupid...
