Go Legend Chapter 516

Chapter 516 First encounter with Japanese players in the finals

"Hehe Ding'an brother, let me tell you, you once had a junior surnamed Lu, not Zhou, it should be a junior surnamed Zhou, he proposed a spirit, called Ah Q spirit, and created a method called spirit The method of victory, alas! Master, I only learned today that I want to defeat that dog, this method and this spirit are the most powerful weapons."

"Oh? How to say this."

Li Xiangping smiled: "Brother Ding'an, what do you think, according to our previous analysis, when a game really enters the "official" stage, humans don't have to be afraid of dogs at all, so let's go further: in most In a normal chess game, how many moves does it take to enter the "official move" stage?"

Lao Shi thought about it for a while: "If we only discuss the normal chess game, then it's not around 200 moves, 200 moves is actually a bit conservative, because at this stage it will almost certainly enter the "official move", so let's be conservative. , about 180 to 200 hands, it can be considered that it has entered the 'official writing' stage."

Li Xiangping continued: "Is it possible to think that in the future, when we fight against dogs, as long as we hold on to around 180 hands and not fall behind, in fact, defeating dogs is a high probability event?"

Lao Shi thought about it again, then smiled bitterly:

"Theoretically, this is the case, but little friend Xiangping, you need to know"

"I know, of course I know," Li Xiangping interrupted with a smile:

"Brother Ding'an, don't you just want to say that with the strength of our human beings, it is impossible to hold on to 180 moves in front of dogs? It's okay, I just said that it is the spiritual victory method. Since 180 moves is not enough, then we Just push it forward a little, Ding'an brother, do you think that with the strength of you and me, if you play at the highest level, how many hands can you hold in front of the dog now?"

Lao Shi started to think again, and this time he thought for a little longer, and then reported an unexpected data:

"Hehe, if you can really play at the highest level, no, I thought that as long as you play at a normal level, you can probably compete with the dog to about 100 to 120 moves."

Obviously, the data reported by Lao Shi shocked Li Xiangping at the time:

"Oh, brother Ding'an, isn't your statement a little too exaggerated? How can we be so powerful?"

"Is it a big one? I don't think so," Old Shi paused, then continued with a smile:

"Little friend Xiangping, it is said that your question just now was extremely difficult to answer, but just now, I happened to think of an excellent reference."

"Reference? What reference?"

"It was in the second season of the man-machine war in the previous life, the second game of the junior Ke surnamed against the machine, Xiaoyou Xiangping, why did you forget this game, the junior Ke is really a gift from heaven. , it is rare among the younger generation to have outstanding talent, and the game of chess he played is an excellent reference."

"Oh, you're talking about that game of chess"

Hearing Lao Shi mentioned this, Li Xiangping couldn't help but think of Ke Shaoxia in later generations.

In Li Xiangping's opinion, Ke Shaoxia was commented by Lao Shi as "a rare talent with outstanding talents", which is really appropriate, and the game of chess mentioned by Lao Shi is a clear proof.

Many chess fans know that since the dog came out, the standards for judging the level of chess players seem to have changed in some way:

Before the dog, everyone usually only looked at the famous game, the good hand, and the champion, but after the dog came out, there is another way of judging in the Go world: walking the dog!

Put your chess sheet in front of the dog for a walk, the level is clear at a glance.

Ordinary professional and even amateur masters can basically slip to fifty or sixty hands in front of dogs after learning, which means that at this stage, you can basically maintain your winning rate.

If you want to reach the level of participating in the armor, you need to be able to slip at least seventy hands.

And if you want to make a difference in the World Series, 80 hands is the basic requirement.

Although 80 moves is a basic requirement, it is already the limit of most professional chess players. It is not uncommon to go further, but it can basically be summed up in the category of 'super-level performance'.

But what about Ke Shaoxia's plate? He walked straight to close to 100 hands, and still maintained his winning percentage when he was over 90 hands.

The most important thing is: at that time, he was not considered to have systematically learned dog moves, because at that time, the chess manual of the three generations of dogs had not been released to the public, so Ke Shaoxia completely relied on his own talent and human wisdom to fight against dogs. to that extent.

That kind of Ke Shaoxia is undoubtedly very remarkable, saying that he is "a rare and outstanding generation", Li Xiangping believes that he is completely worthy of such praise.

Not only that, Li Xiangping thinks back now, he even thinks Ke Shaoxia is a bit of a pity:

If there is no dog born, he may become another Go master, at least he can leave a deep trace of himself in the field of human Go, but unfortunately the appearance of the dog may interrupt all this.

Before the dog was born, Ke Shaoxia had a game of chess that impressed Li Xiangping, and his opponent in that game was Li Shishi.

When watching the live broadcast on the Internet, Li Xiangping heard all kinds of praise from various professional chess players for Xiao Li's opening, thinking that he played very cleverly in this place, and that place also achieved strategic goals, so that he played 70 moves. Right and left, including almost all Go live platforms on Chinese and Korean websites, think that Xiao Li may have the upper hand.

However, even in this situation, Ke Shaoxia still seemed unhurried and impatient, and his next move was even more bland.

At about 90 hands, the tone of the Internet has completely changed, and everyone is surprised to find that Xiao Li, who seems to be ingeniously conceived and almost achieves all strategic goals, has fallen behind, while Ke Shaoxia, who has always been plain as water, has unknowingly prevailed.

In the range of human Go, there were only a few people such as Wu boss Fujisawa, who could do this.

The most important thing is how old Ke Shaoxia was at that time, that is, as big as Li Xiangping now.

However, according to the law of normal human learning Go, it is usually "half the game first and then the first half game", that is to say, for the more specific calculation of hand tendons, young people accept it faster, while for the more abstract first half game, young people Human understanding and absorption are basically slower.

The situation of Ke Shaoxia is different. The reason why he can stand out from his peers is not how much better his mid-back game is than others. His advantage at that time may still be reflected in the mid-front game.

It's a pity that the appearance of the dog may wipe out his advantage. 鈥��

After all, dogs are so much better than humans. The two chess games are not in the same dimension at all. So when everyone starts walking the dog, the little advantage he originally had may be unintentionally lost by the dog. smooth.

Just when Li Xiangping was feeling sorry for Ke Shaoxia, he heard his plug-in and spoke again:

"Hehe, Xiaoyou Xiangping, think about it now, even the younger generation Ke can support nearly a hundred hands in front of the machine without systematic study, then you and I will join hands and study systematically for 4 years now. Time, do you still think what I said just now is arrogant?"

"this this"

"Hey, little friend Xiangping, there is no need to belittle yourself. Of course I know that among all the elements just now, talent is the most important element. If it is like me, no matter how hard you try, you will definitely not be able to shake the machine. But Xiaoyou Xiangping is different. In my opinion, your talent is more than half that of the younger generation surnamed Ke, so it is really difficult to hold on to around 120 hands under the cooperation of you and me. ?"

Li Xiangping was speechless at the time, and once again lamented that Lao Shi is really getting more and more flattering.

For example, what he said just now, he knew he was flattering, but why did he like to hear it so much? Well, Li Xiangping thinks about it, anyway, something like "talent" can't be seen or touched. Since Lao Shi wants to shoot, let him shoot it once.

"Hehe, according to what Brother Ding'an said, it is considered that we can last until about 120 moves. How about Brother Ding'an, do you understand the essence of the Spiritual Victory Method now?"

"Huh? Spiritual victory method, so to speak."

Li Xiangping said triumphantly: "Brother Ding'an, what do you think? According to our calculations, we are not afraid of dogs after 180 hands, and the first 120 may also compete with them. If this is calculated, we and dogs will have a better relationship. The actual gap is actually only concentrated in the 60 moves in the middle, so as long as we hold such an idea, it seems that dog fighting is not an impossible task, Ding'an brother, you say yes."

Lao Shi said with a smile: "It's very, very, very, very exciting. Listening to your analysis, Ding'an is also very excited. The junior surnamed Zhou you just mentioned is really a master, and he can create such a wonderful method."

Li Xiangping laughed loudly: "Haha of course, Brother Ding'an doesn't know anything, but after this method has arrived in modern times, it has changed its name. Many people call it YY Dafa. Brother Ding'an, what do you think? The Fa is so wonderful, how could it be so popular in this world?"

"Haha is justified"

I felt that I had understood the true meaning of the Spiritual Victory Law, which made Li Xiangping feel happy, and it was with this happy mood that he set out on the expedition again.

Two days later, Team Leader Hua served as the head of the Chinese delegation and led the only team member, Li Xiangping. Then, accompanied by Zhang Da reporter Lao Xie and others, the group came to Osaka, Japan to participate in the 16th "Fujitsu" Cup" Professional Go Championship semi-finals.

Anyway, this is the first semi-final of the season, and Li Xiangping still attaches great importance to the task of "getting off to a good start".

It's a pity that the progress of this game doesn't seem to match Li Xiangping's attention.

On the day of the official match, it was less than 4 p.m., and the overall situation was less than 160 hands. When Li Xiangping, who was playing black, fell to the 157th hand in the overall game, his opponent Song Taikun had no intention of fighting. .

After a brief review with his opponent, Li Xiangping was still not satisfied, and communicated with his own plug-in:

"Brother Ding'an, what do you think of this game?"

"Well, without him, this person's specialties are completely suppressed by Xiaoyou Xiangping. He is good at mid-game assault and has a certain explosive power, but he forgets that your explosive power is greater, the mid-game assault ability is stronger, plus his sequence Pan kung fu is not skilled enough, so it is inevitable to be completely suppressed."

Li Xiangping nodded after listening, this is how he felt when he played this game of chess himself.

"I'm surprised. We've been promoting dog tricks for several years, and we've never kept it secret. We've already shared our research experience, but why are others so slow to accept it?"

Lao Shi said with a smile: "Hehe, little friend Xiangping, you must know that other people's dog tricks are different from us."

"Oh! How to say it?"

"Don't forget, when we were studying dog tricks, we never had any doubts. Even if we didn't understand it for a while, we firmly believed that this was a better way to play. However, other people were different. When others were learning dog tricks , there is basically a process of suspicion or even denial, and in this case, other people will of course be slower."

Hearing Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping instantly remembered a trick similar to "the fifth step at the beginning of the game, just click 33", so he laughed silently.

Lao Shi continued: "However, when I look at the chess world today, some people are very talented and willing to learn. They have already passed this stage, so Xiaoyou Xiangping, after a year or two, these people should be able to catch up. , our advantage will not be that great.”

Li Xiangping nodded: "I really look forward to that day. After all, if we want to challenge the dog, we can't do without the encouragement of other people. Only by gathering the wisdom of all professional chess players can we do it."

Lao Shi nodded and said: "Xiangping little friend can think so, I am very relieved."

When talking about this, Li Xiangping was dragged away by reporter Zhang Da and Lao Xie.

"Haha Xiangping, come, come and help us analyze and see who your opponent in the final will be"

"Don't worry, don't worry, you must let me see the progress ahead"

The semi-final on the other side was Da Li VS Yida Kiki. After spending about 10 minutes watching the previous process, Li Xiangping couldn't help feeling emotional. He really didn't expect that the original Japanese Yida Kiki was 9 dan now. A young Yitian Jiji 9 dan, he actually belongs to the part of people who are "willing to learn" in Lao Shi's mouth.

Seeing Li Xiangping pondering, reporter Zhang Da couldn't help asking:

"Xiang Ping, how are you?"

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Just look at the situation on the chessboard, this chess is still very fine, and it may even be better than Big Li, but isn't Yitian Tiger always a big Li's nemesis, so in my heart, it is more I hope to meet Yitian 9dan."

"Haha that's right, after winning today's game, this is the 10th time you've reached the finals of the World Series, but it's strange that in the first 9 times, you didn't even encounter Japanese chess in the final. Hand, so Xiangping, is it because of this reason that you want to meet Yitian in the final?"

Li Xiangping was stunned, thinking that reporter Zhang Da was really a reporter Zhang Da. He was such a professional reporter. Why didn't he think about this issue before?

"Hahaha, old Zhang, you really are a genius, you even know what I think"

Around 5:30 in the afternoon, Li Xiangping's "wish" finally came true.

In this year's "Fujitsu Cup", he was really in the final of the division with Ida Kiji.

This will be his first encounter with a Japanese player in a World Series final.
