Chapter 67: The Origin of "Digging the Trench" (Part 1)

The "digging ditch" in Go is not much different from its original meaning.

They all sneaked into the village, and those who shot should not have similar meanings.

Although it originated in China, in modern Go, it was carried forward by the cold country.

In the traditional game of Go, the country is the leader, and the emphasis is on the balance of the game and the beautiful shape of the chess.

After the official is over, everyone will complete their chess shapes and then calculate the number of chess pieces.

This way of playing chess is very close to the chivalry of the Middle Ages.

In other words, the game of Go at that time in Heguo, when it reached the official stage, did not play chess to death, and followed the point to the end.

If someone plays chess at this juncture, not only will no one praise you, but they will despise you, because you have not only ruined the beauty of the chess shape, but also played it with means.

This method of playing is laughingly called "digging the ditch" by later generations, and it is abandoned for the right way of Go.

However, this situation has changed greatly after the rise of the cold country.

You are polite to others, and your thoughts are correct, but you have to admit that on the chessboard, there is only victory and defeat.

The real etiquette is not to clench your fists and concede, but to do your best to carry the game to the end.

This is the real respect for a player.

Leng Guoren is naturally belligerent, and for the unfinished chess game, there is a tenacious fighting spirit that will not admit defeat without ending the changes.

Even in the official stage, they did their best to carry out the official to the point where there was no way to fall.

Probably for Leng Guo, this is a rigorous attitude.

But for Heguo, digging a ditch as a means of playing, if it is popularized in the world, it is simply an insult to Go.

The cold country that started the culprit is that the mud can't support the wall, and it is the psoriasis of the world chess world.

Because of this disagreement, in that star-studded era, Leng Guo and He Guo chess players fought fiercely, and every time the World Championship was held, fierce sparks would collide.

Later, the chess players of the two countries played a fire, and even the chess players at the level of the great grandmaster were involved.

A great war that lasted for several years quietly began.

Since then, every match between Leng Guo and Heguo chess players has attracted the attention of the entire world Go community.

However, the facts are beyond everyone's expectations, although the means of digging the ditch are inferior, but I have to sigh the efficiency of this method.

After countless tournaments, Leng Guo's chess players shook Heguo with a resounding slap with their winning rate far exceeding that of other countries.

At this time, many people began to think about the advantages of "digging the trench", and the whole world of Go fell into silence.

However, just when everyone's eyes were focused on the method of digging a ditch, Leng Guo threw a bombshell again.

In the subsequent game, after the layout of the Leng Guo chess player, he directly picked up his fist and entered the middle stage, and he was caught off guard by the country.

You must know that the Go of that era was not the current three stages of layout, mid-game, and officialdom.

Instead, it is divided into four stages: layout, prologue, middle plate, and official.

This kind of law is a law that has been inherited by Heguo for hundreds of years, and it was suddenly done by Leng Guo, which suddenly set off a monstrous wave.

Clear-eyed people may have discovered that there is an additional prologue stage in this kind of chess.

What is Prologue?

The prologue is a preparatory stage for a mid-game battle after the layout is over.

It's like, the two armies are facing each other, and after the troops are lined up, they shout here, "I'm going to fight." ”

The other side responded, "I'm ready, come on." ”

Then the two armies began to fight in earnest.

And Leng Guo's approach is like lining up the troops on Heguo's side, and he was about to shout, but his voice was still stuck in his throat, and then he was slammed by Leng Guo and directly confused.

For the chivalrous Kazuku, it was simply barbaric to do so.

You want to play chess, Lao Tzu accompanies you, but you are actually playing yin, patting me to move bricks, it is bearable, which is unbearable.

As a result, as soon as the ditch digging incident subsided, Grandmaster Heguo jumped out and severely criticized Leng Guo's unreasonable play throughout the world, saying that it was disrupting the order of the chess world.

Although Leng is a small country, it is a big Go country in the world, and two grandmasters have just appeared in the country.

Grandmaster Heguo said this, undoubtedly slapped the two grandmasters of Leng Guo in the face, of course these two grandmasters couldn't bear it, and immediately jumped out and made an appointment with Grandmaster Heguo.

Since you're so awesome, well, everyone rolls up their sleeves and fights, and I won't argue with you, the one with a hard fist is the boss.

The sudden challenge of the Grandmaster of the Cold Country immediately caused an uproar in the world.

It didn't take long for this big battle to start vigorously in China.

A few days passed, and a news suddenly came out, the battle between the grandmasters of Heguo and Leng Guo, one win and one loss.

The whole world was in an uproar.

The two grandmasters of Leng Guo are both the kind of new grandmasters, and they are far inferior to the veteran grandmasters of Heguo in the realm of grandmasters.

But even in this case, he was able to get a victory, which simply broke everyone's glasses.

Originally, there was some turmoil in the Go world of Heguo at that time, but after this grandmaster dispute, Heguo's status in the chess world plummeted in an instant.

In some games, some people have even begun to imitate Leng Guo's playing method.

Not only that, but the effect is also very good, and quietly, a revolution related to Go began.

At that time, Grandmaster Heguo chose to keep his mouth shut and close his door.

Many people didn't understand this approach of the Grandmaster of Heguo, only a few Grandmasters of Huaxia stood up and said with a wry smile: "Soldier, sophistry." Reform is inevitable, and the Go community in Leng Guo is afraid that it will be prosperous. ”

For a moment, the whole world was in turmoil, and it fell into a dead silence in an instant, as if to herald the calm before the storm.

Half a year later, the two grandmasters of Leng Guo led the team to go north to China and challenged.

The entire Chinese chess community was ready to send a small number of nine-dan players, and a bloody storm began.

After fierce battles, the Chinese chess world suffered a fiasco, and even made the leading figure in China at that time become the commander of the light pole.

The last sign of the world chess world is toppling.

At this point, the king of Leng Guo has come to the world chess world, coercing the world, and the world chess world has talked about the change of Leng Guo, and the children have stopped crying when they hear it.

The Go system, which had maintained the world Go for hundreds of years, was disrupted and reorganized, and a new era of Go was emerging.

……

Jiang Fan silently looked at the gloomy and sad Cheng, and couldn't say a word in his heart.

The clarity of the present is not like that of the era and the country, and the birth of a new order means the death of the old order.

In this small chessboard, there is the despair of each era, and it also contains the hope of each era.

The stones of his mountains can attack jade, and through this chess, Jiang Fan has learned a lot.

It was also because of this chess that he saw a clear heart.

This is a frank little Taoist priest, with the dream of Go, similar to his situation, Cheng Che may be temporarily blinded by superficial things, but one day Cheng Che will understand what he needs most in his heart.

For this reason, Jiang Fan is looking forward to it.

"There are only winners and losers on the chessboard, but wins and losses do not represent your future. You're the toughest opponent I've faced so far, and I'm sure you won't stop here, and I'll be waiting for you higher up. ”

Jiang Fan respected this little Taoist priest with a similar chess style to him, because he knew that one day, they would meet again.

Looking at Jiang Fan, who was leaving silently, a strong belief suddenly erupted in his clear eyes, "Yes, we will meet again." Next time, I will definitely beat you. ”
