Chapter XXIX
"The second answer is yes, which is also my personal opinion, and I hope it will be the opinion of the majority of people. The reason why I want to put forward the "Nineteen Paths" is because in my opinion, Go is not only a game between two people, it also contains the art of war, gossip, astronomy, and geographical knowledge, and three hundred and sixty, the number of Zhou Tian, is the number of eyes after the Go removes the Tianyuan, which is undoubtedly more able to demonstrate the changes of heaven and earth, in line with the identity of Go black and white, with the law of yin and yang. "Everyone thinks that Go contains knowledge of the art of war, gossip, astronomy, and geography, but in fact, the seventeen-way Go does not match the knowledge contained in Go. In this way, not only does it not simply repeat the content of the "Nineteen Paths", but also emphasizes the significance of Chen Fan's proposal for change from the knowledge contained in Go, which can be said to be a necessary supplement to the changes in Go proposed in "The Nineteen Paths".
"Of course, whether Go can be changed to 19 ways depends on all of us to know, we can explore first, and seek truth in exploration. Here, I would like to thank Dean Xia Lu for holding a chess game today to create conditions for our exploration; I would also like to thank Liang Xiu for preparing a nineteen-way chessboard for us, and interested chess friends can try to talk about it first and tell us the results of the experience; Finally, I would like to thank ourselves, those of us who love Go, we may have this or that opinion on Go, but one thing is in common, that is, we all love Go, because of those of us who love Go, it makes Go more brilliant. Thank you! ”
In Chen Fan's view, the previous words can not be said, but the last words of thanks must be said, said, must be sensational, this is the time to pull identity, resonance, and friends, differences are not important, the important thing is that everyone loves Go, just one point, we can become friends, since we are friends, then the contradiction is an internal contradiction, we can discuss with each other, keep each other, instead of insulting each other and becoming enemies.
"Very good, very good! Fa Sheng just spoke very well. You can express your views on the "Nineteen Paths" and say whatever you think. Seeing that Chen Fan finished speaking, Lu Jian asked beside him.
After Lu Xian's words were asked, it was a little cold, everyone was thinking, no one immediately stood up to refute, and no one immediately stood up to echo. Or Xu Chen came out and said: "Since Liang Xiu has prepared a nineteen-way chess game for us, and Gang Fasheng also said it, you can try to talk about it, and then express your opinions, Dean Lu thinks this is okay?" ”。
"It's okay, let's start, 19 roads, 17 roads, if you don't go down, you can also discuss with each other, then let's disperse first." Lu Yan motioned for everyone to be busy.
Seeing that everyone began to disperse, and some people started to talk in this pavilion, Chen Fan and Yajun were about to get up, but they were stopped by Lu Yan, "Fa Sheng, how about we talk about a game?" ”
"Okay, please ask Dean Lu for advice." Chen Fan did not refuse, but readily agreed, in Chen Fan's opinion, no matter whether he wins or loses, playing chess is always a pleasant thing.
"Nafa Sheng, let's try the nineteen-way chess game." Lu Yan proposed.
"Thank you, Dean, I can't ask for it." Lu Yan contributed to the dissemination of Chen Fan's "Treatise on the Nineteen Roads", and Chen Fan was of course willing.
"Fa Sheng, give." At this time, Liang Xiu brought a chessboard over, which was made of silk with nineteen lines.
"Brother Liang has a heart." To be honest, Chen Fan didn't expect that Liang Xiu was so efficient, it was only two or three days, not only spread the nineteen-way theory, but also prepared a chessboard, it seems that he is a person who can entrust things.
Liang Xiu nodded and did not answer.
Chen Fan sat opposite Lu Xian, set up the chessboard, put the seat, and the two guessed the first move. Chen Fan was lucky this time, and he took the lead in white. Liang Xiu and Yajun did not leave, watching the chess game on the side.
Chen Fan is familiar with the nineteen-way chessboard, as a second-stage chess player of Wild Fox, although his rank is not high, he has also played thousands of games on the Internet, and his actual combat experience is also rich. This has to be put aside in this era without the Internet, there are no more than ten years, but you can't play thousands of games, and the opponents are limited, just those people around, not like the Internet, chess players come from all over the world, what kind of people have, different people, have different habits and moves, plus Chen Fan likes to see the master game, at least there is a knowledge.
In the layout stage, Chen Fan did not hesitate, this time he chose to fly and hang first, and defend the corner first, although this will leave the other party with the opportunity to enter the corner, but in the layout stage, it is also a good choice to try to grab the big field first. Unexpectedly, Lu Yan immediately chose to enter the three-three, which was feasible in the seventeenth road, but in the nineteenth road, the mid-abdomen became larger, and the thick potential of the periphery was particularly important, as a result, Chen Fan immediately chose to let him work in the corner, forming a general trend on the outside, and after walking the part, Chen Fan not only formed a field on both sides of the corner, but also had obvious advantages in the deployment of the sub-force in the mid-abdomen. There is no doubt that Chen Fan easily won this game.
"These nineteen roads, Fa Sheng has studied more thoroughly than me, and the corners at the beginning are a bit aggressive, you should first manage your own field, and then fly in later, then the outcome is still unknown." Afterwards, Lu Yan concluded.
"Yes, nineteen roads, the number of meshes in the mid-abdomen is seventy-two more than seventeen roads, relatively speaking, it is more important to have an advantage in the mid-abdomen." Chen Fan echoed.
"Have you ever tested the chess products, and how many are you now?" Lu Yan asked.
"Not yet, it's estimated to be between six or seven grades." Since discussing "Rotten Kepu" with Yajun, although there are only more than 60 moves, Chen Fan feels that his chess strength has increased a lot.
"Not only that, Fa Sheng, your chess strength should have reached the fifth rank, close to the fourth rank." Lu Yan said. As the dean of the chess academy and one of the chess evaluators, Dean Lu's words are still very authoritative, and the people next to him all looked at Chen Fan, if it is the fourth grade, it is a quiet and quiet soul, and the soul is empty, and the layout is exquisite, whether to fight or not, you can grasp the initiative, and it is also very remarkable to be close to the fourth grade.
You must know that the higher you go, the more difficult it is, the father of the original owner Chen Fasheng, made his debut in the seventh grade of chess, and at that time he became an eight-rank official, a county taishou who did not lead troops, that is, a fifth-grade official, the higher the grade, the greater the difficulty, and the rarer the number of people.
Chen Fan paused, didn't think that Lu Xianhui would evaluate him more than five grades, and said: "It's just a fluke, dean, you scored at the beginning and let me take advantage." ”
Lu Yan shook his head and said: "Although my entry is a bit excessive, but I also got the field, the key is that later, you can seize the fighter and firmly grasp the advantage, and when you attack at the rear, you use a high angle of attack, and the small tip guards your other corner, and the overall situation firmly develops the advantage in the middle of the abdomen, which is the key to victory." You know, I have reached the fourth grade for many years, how can ordinary people grasp such a weakness to win? Lu Xian analyzed.
"I think it's Dean Lu, the first time you play this nineteen-way Go, and I'm not used to it, and I've done research before, so let's just say that you started to play, after today, you won't play at the beginning, and the results will naturally be different." Although winning chess, but a modest attitude is a must, especially after the other party loses, it is a person, the heart will be a little unhappy, then at this time to the opponent down the steps, pay attention to words, attitude, can not have a trace of smug expression, it is very important, do a bad one, others will think that after you win, arrogance, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Lu Yan nodded and said: "The nineteen-way chess method is changeable, I also have to ponder it, Liang Xiu, Yajun, don't just look at it, talk about it, I know Yajun's piano skills, I don't know how the chess skills are." ”
"Then I'll talk to Yajun. Yajun, how? Liang Xiu replied.
"Okay." Yajun happily agreed, just watched it on the side for a long time, and it is estimated that his heart is already a little itchy, and he wants to end the game in person.
"You guys, I'll go greet the other guests. Liang Xiu, you help me entertain Xia Fasheng and Yajun, and eat here at night. Lu Yan greeted and then stood up
"Okay, Dean Lu." Liang Xiu agreed. Everyone got up and saw Dean Lu leave.
"By the way, I just don't know, will I be able to hear Yajun's piano sound then?" Before leaving, Lu Yan seemed to remember something, half joking, half serious.
"Okay, I'll play a song for you then." Yajun didn't refuse, and was prepared when he came.
"Great, I'll listen to Yajun's music then." Lu Yan received Yajun's affirmative reply, he was in a good mood, waved his hand, and walked away by himself, afraid of Yajun's remorse.
Chen Fan looked at Yajun, everyone smiled, sat down to play chess, but in this game, Chen Fan became a spectator.
Watching others play chess is usually a pleasure, but if the person who plays chess is not as skilled as you, it is difficult to say. At the very least, the current Chen Fan has an impulse to speak, the two play chess, sometimes, in Chen Fan's opinion, they are giving each other, obviously they can attack and eat directly, but they choose to give up, and the battle has been in a stalemate. "Are the two of them humble to each other, or are they equal in chess strength?" Chen Fan's heart was full of doubts.
In the end, the two sides counted, and Liang Xiuqi was one step higher, and he won three eyes by a small margin. But Chen Fan couldn't confirm in his heart that Liang Xiu had won, because Liang Xiu was the first move, if this was put in modern times, it was to stick to the purpose, but Liang Xiu would be sentenced to lose, but because there is no seat system in modern times, Chen Fan can't say how an algorithm Chen Fan can't say, anyway, in this era, it was Liang Xiu who won.
After the two finished playing chess and counting the pieces, Yajun proposed: "Fa Sheng, let's go get the piano, my piano is still in the car." ”
"Okay, let's go find that Steward Han, he should know where our carriage is parked." Chen Fan agreed.
"I'm with you." Liang Xiu answered from the side.
This is naturally best for Chen Fan and them. Coincidentally, as soon as the three of them left the hall, they saw that Steward Han was directing people to come over and light the lamp, Chen Fan estimated that it was already unitary time (more than six o'clock in the evening), fortunately in summer, it was late when it got dark, and the sunset put a layer of evening makeup on the earth.
