Go Legend Chapter 165

Chapter 165 The Hand That Makes Breathing Difficult

At about 11:00 in the morning, in the on-site viewing room, when the latest chess manuals were posted here, Dean Wang Lunan, who had been paying close attention to the progress of the game, took the chess manuals. Then asked Ma Xiaofei who was sitting next to him:

"Ma Xiao, how do you feel about this game now?"

After listening to Wang Lao's words, reporter Zhang Da surrounded him, reporter Xie reporter Jia surrounded him, and even "fake chess fans" like reporter Guo pretended to surround Ma Xiao, wanting to hear about the biggest chess player in the entire viewing room. How to say.

Since a game of Go takes a long time, it can take five or six hours to move, so during the morning game time, the viewing room is usually relatively deserted, and even if someone studies the atmosphere, it will not be very enthusiastic.

However, today's situation seems to be slightly different. Except for these reporters who have traveled all the way to Tokyo, they have nowhere to go except to watch the game. Championship fight.

So from the perspective of media reporters, the emergence of a "new novice" in the competition is of course worthy of attention. Although everyone still does not know how much impact this "new novice" will have on this game, it is still considered a "new novice". Big Aspect", is the first big Aspect that has appeared in this game so far. It is precisely for this reason that everyone gathered around Ma Xiaofei, wanting to hear what the authoritative experts had to say.

After hearing Wang Lunan's question, Ma Xiaofei did not answer immediately. He first focused on the chessboard in front of him and thought for a while. It seemed that he was not enough. Finally, he took the chess sheet from Wang Lunan and put it up there in detail.

The reporters are used to this, and the reporters wait patiently for Ma Xiao to give their own judgment.

Everyone is in the game of Go, so of course most of the reporters here are aware of Ma Xiaofei's characteristics. These days, people often say "Nie Ma two heroes and Nie Ma two heroes", but Ma Xiao is not as forthright and outspoken as Old Nie.

If it was Old Nie here today, then he would definitely not be in such a relationship. He would definitely give his own judgment based on his own intuition at the first time. As for his own judgment, right? Do you want to fix it later? This is not within the scope of Lao Nie's thinking. Anyway, he is thick-skinned, and this kind of thing is not only done once or twice.

Compared with Lao Nie, Ma Xiao is of course another feature. It's still a trivial thing to talk about, and it's not bad if you don't let people hear it.

It took about 5 minutes for President Wang to ask, Ma Xiaofei finally spoke, he raised his head and said to Wang Lunan:

"I feel that White seems to be okay."

"Oh, really."

Although listening to Ma's novel "White Chess is OK", Wang Lunan's expression did not become more relaxed. After all, Wang Lao himself is also an 8th dan master. Before he asked Ma Xiao, he certainly had his own judgment. According to Wang Lunan's own judgment, he believes that in the current situation, it should be that Black is slightly more favorable.

In other words, he believes that in the first round of the final today, Liu Changhe, who is in black, should score a point first.

And the reason why Wang Lunan 8 dan gave such a judgment is not because of his poor level of course. Later generations clearly judged that a standard "two-point" formula was slightly better for black. There are two main reasons that contributed to his judgment.

The first reason, you must know that this change was initiated by Liu Changhe first. How to describe it? This is like the relationship between the "plaintiff" and the "defendant". Although in the true legal sense, the status of the two is actually equal, and the plaintiff may not be right or wrong to the defendant. However, in the habit of most people, subconsciously Thinking that the plaintiff is better than the defendant, it seems that the plaintiff must be more reasonable than the defendant.

And today's game of chess starts, it seems that Liu Changhe is the plaintiff, and Li Xiangping is the defendant.

The second and more important reason is that it has something to do with the change itself. Today's "Vietnamese style" "Golden Prince will lose the change", it is really easy to give people the false impression of "black chess advantage" .

Even in later generations, everyone agrees that this is a "two-point" change, and this judgment is also supported by Go AI. However, in the professional Go world, there are still many players who prefer to play the black side.

The reason for this is mainly that after this change is completed, black looks huge. In less than 50 moves, black can use the upper right corner of the board as the center, and circle a large space with more than 30 objects from the corner to the edge. It doesn't matter if it's just empty and long. More importantly, this big empty piece looks very safe. Black's chess shape is very thick, which is a variation of the commonly known "empty and thick chess".

So now comes the problem. We all know that in Go, there are usually only two criteria for judging whether the situation is good or bad. It's black "more empty and thick", so why do people in later generations think that this variation is "two points"?

For no other reason, there is only one keyword: potential.

Before explaining this issue, it must be mentioned in particular that although this change is that Black's chess is "empty and thick," it is not the typical "terrain confrontation" pattern, but the kind of "governance by crossing the river". situation.

Black chess is centered on the upper right corner of the chessboard and controls a large piece of territory first, while White chess is centered on the "Er Lianxing" below the chessboard, ready to use this area as his sphere of influence.

It is precisely because today's situation is this pattern, and only this pattern on the chessboard, that there is a "potential".

"Yes, I think the current situation of White is not bad." After playing the game again, Ma Xiaofei expressed his opinion to the crowd:

"Don't look at the fact that black chess is thick and empty now, but everyone pay attention, black chess is actually limited to this pair, commonly known as "one place", and in other places on the chessboard, black chess doesn't seem to have any potential for development. On the contrary, it's White. Don't look at the white chess now, there are not many empty chess, and the chess is still relatively thin, but the development potential is still great, everyone pay attention, White is now the first mover, if White is playing now here, or here"

Ma Xiaofei placed several reference pictures on the chessboard in a row, and he finally concluded:

"So far, I think White should be okay. It's definitely not an advantage, but if you're behind, I don't think it should be. The key to today's game, I think, is mainly to see. How does White manage its potential? If it manages well and fully utilizes its potential, White will definitely be in a good position. However, if it is not managed well, or if the opponent is restrained from exerting its potential, there will be pressure on the air. In short, up to now, I think the situation is still two points, not only two points, this game is actually still early, now the key is to see the afternoon, to see if Xiang Ping can manage his potential well."

"Oh? Ma Xiao, do you think this chess is not bad for White? That's good then that's good"

Dean Wang Lunan even said a few "that's good", but the worried look on his face did not weaken at all. Not to mention that President Wang's original inherent judgment is still there, but at the level of Wang Lunan, it is unlikely that he will easily change his inherent judgment just because of someone else's words, even if this person is Ma Xiaofei.

In addition to this reason, in fact, it is just the rhetoric of "business potential", which makes it impossible for President Wang not to worry about Li Xiangping.

Because his level has reached his level, of course he knows the so-called "business potential", which is definitely a difficult skill in Go, and even one of the most difficult skills in Go.

The reason why this technique is difficult is that it is too imaginary and abstract, not as specific as life and death or officials in Go. If you want to master this technique, you must have a deep understanding of Go. .

In addition to the understanding of chess, if you want to master this technique, you also need a good sense of proportion, because the so-called "business potential" is, to put it bluntly, a question of how to "turn the virtual into reality", that is, how to Turn the potential of virtual flowers into real emptiness.

So in this, where should we "turn the virtual into the real"? When does it "turn false into reality"? In what way do you "turn the virtual into the real"? These all take into account a person's level of Go.

These things not only consider a person's level of Go, but in fact, there is no certain rule. In quite a few times, you have to adjust your response at any time according to the opponent's play, so this is definitely one of the most difficult skills in Go.

For example, in this "Prince Kim's Variation", the "Prince" of the dignified Korean Go, why is Xiao Jin, who is known as the second old Cao Cao, will lose when he encounters this change? Li Xiangping personally thinks that, of course, he is still lacking in this aspect. He is not only bad at managing his own potential, but is actually not good at destroying the potential of others.

In fact, it may be precisely because of this reason that this young and famous chess player has the same achievements in his life. When he was young, he was taught by Gu Dali to be a man. Suppressed by Xiao Pu, the poor "Prince" has been in office for so many years, but has never waited for the chance to officially ascend the throne.

Shortly after Ma Xiaofei finished analyzing the situation on the chessboard, it was time to close the board at noon. There were less than 50 moves in the morning, and this "Golden Prince must be defeated" was just about to be completed. And the key to the victory of this game, Ma Xiaofei, also made it very clear: it mainly depends on how White manages his own potential.

During the noon break, Li Xiangping himself was very satisfied with today's situation compared to Dean Wang Lunan's worries, and expressed optimism about the prospect of today's finals.

And Li Xiangping's optimism, of course, comes from his trust in his own cheating, because he is very clear in his heart that such a pattern of "business potential" is precisely Lao Shi's strength.

Due to the existence of 'Zooms' in ancient chess, most of the ancient chess players are "more important than important", and to be honest, if you want to manage the potential on the chessboard well, then this type of chess player must be strong. For those "fish first, wash later".

In fact, the progress of today's game of chess did not exceed Li Xiangping's expectations. Just after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Dang Lao Shi made the 74th overall move.

As soon as Lao Shi played this move, Li Xiangping saw the dawn of victory, and he already felt that victory was in sight at this time.

And Lao Shi's move was also praised by the spectator room.

"Haha good chess! It's really good chess, as soon as Xiang Ping played this chess move, Black should have difficulty breathing right away."

Ma Xiaofei's 9 dan in the viewing room, he commented on this move.
