Zhang Zhidong has been observing Li Xiaoqiang from afar. Seeing him going around in circles, I thought he was adjusting himself, and he didn't dare to come up to find it.

As a reporter who has been running the line of Go, he knows that it is best not to mess with professional chess players after losing chess. There can be a wide range of reactions. Most people think that it is easier to understand that if the game is evenly matched and the chess player loses more unjustly. Not necessarily, the feeling of despair that is suppressed by the opponent and feels that there is no chance is just as sad.

This kind of sadness is even more terrible, and there are many people who can't survive it in their lifetime.

When Zhang Zhidong heard Li Xiaoqiang call him, he seemed to be in a very happy mood, and he didn't feel a little strange. In his opinion, losing chess must be depressing, and it is good to be able to calm down, which means that the adjustment is good. Is there really such a powerful person? Adjusting the mood can be overdone, and the depressed mood can be adjusted into a happy ......

Zhang Zhidong took a closer look at Li Xiaoqiang and found that his happy mood did not look fake. I couldn't help but come up with a sentence:

"Why are you so heartless......

Li Xiaoqiang looked at Zhang Zhidong in confusion, and said in his heart, Didn't I just go around a few circles? Isn't it just a mouthful? How did I become heartless? Heartless and heartless generally refer to Xiaobai, a person like me who has a city government...... I said you don't have a heart or lungs, it's pretty much the same.

Li Xiaoqiang, who felt despised by reporter Zhang Da, glared at the other party angrily:

"Who has no heart and no lungs, you tell me clearly......"

Reporter Zhang Da feels normal now, and now he thinks it's reasonable:

"I'll just say, losing must be depressing. What do you say you are pretending to be a child, you see, anger is out. Don't pretend, there's nothing to do, nothing to do, just get angry at me. As a friend, it's also appropriate to help you share a little bit......"

Therefore, although reporter Zhang Da is a little ignorant, although a little shallow. But overall it's lovely. It's still a good friend to make.

The two walked on the road, in order to comfort their friends, Zhang Zhidong nagged all the way, making Li Xiaoqiang think of Zhao Dabao.

"I said Xiaoqiang, you said that you want Fang Lao to make a Go Jianghu, the idea is good. However, if Go is such an elegant thing, will it not reduce the style of the work? ”

"Down-to-earth, down-to-earth, you know?"

"Down-to-earth? It's a bit of a quirky statement, but it's very graphic. Hahaha, this is your dialect again. I can't imagine it. Your Hakka dialect is really flavorful......"

Li Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly in his heart:

"I still know that there are many dialects that will be popular throughout the country in the future, don't you know that I am very painful to speak now."

Li Xiaoqiang changed the topic:

"I know you don't think so. Well, you're still very familiar with the history of Japanese Go, and if you think about it, people are talking about what they are talking about. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about their "Fayang Theory", which has a high status in the Go world. ”

Speaking of Japanese Go, Zhang Zhidong is familiar with it, at least than ancient Chinese chess.

"Fayang Theory" is the martial arts cheats of Japanese Go, a real martial arts cheats.

If you want to say that the ancient Japanese game of Go, it is a bit of an "official" nature. The cause was one of their Japanese celebrities, Oda Nobunaga. This person likes to play Go. left a story of "Instinct Temple Three Tribulation Cycle", that is, when this guy was playing chess with people in the temple, he actually played a chess game of three tribulation cycles. Coincidentally, the man underneath made him anti. Clicked him. Therefore, the Japanese engage in feudal superstition and think that "the cycle of three calamities is ominous".

Japan's "chess office" was founded in that era, and winning the "chess office" is equivalent to the master of the martial arts league, and the master of the martial arts league is called a "celebrity". The chess office was run by the government, and the Japanese government at that time also paid them salaries.

In order to compete for "celebrities", four major schools were gradually formed. Or the "Four Families". That is the "Honinbo family", "Inoue family", "Yasui family" and "Hayashi family". In general, the "Ben Yin Fang" family is the strongest, and has won the "chess house" the most times. The "Inoue" and "Yasui" families acted as challengers, and the "Lin family" was playing soy sauce most of the time.

"Celebrity" is equivalent to the current nine-dan, and at that time there could only be one nine-dan. The eighth section is called "quasi-celebrity", and the seventh section is called "getting started". The "idle hand" is two quasi-celebrities. At that time, there were no "celebrities" in Japan, and there was a vacancy in chess, and they were the only two who were qualified to compete for "celebrities" at that time. It is estimated that the Japanese also think that they are not good enough, and although they play "good moves", the chess house has not given any of them. Of course, the Japanese don't say that, they say that the two are "humble to each other" and have a "gentleman's style".

At that time, if they wanted to compete for the "chess house", they had to play the challenge book in a formal manner. First get official recognition, well, the government issues a business license, and you can play chess, but you can't operate without a license. The place of business is also fixed, and the location is called "Imperial Chess City". It is equivalent to the government setting up a stage for them to sing.

The history of the game of Go in ancient Japan basically revolves around this stage. So the swords and swords inside, the intrigue inside, that's quite exciting.

"Fayang Theory" is the martial arts secret book of one of their sects, and they have forgotten whether it is the Yasui family or the Inoue family. A business license is required under other sects, but not within your own sect. There are not many opportunities to compete for chess, so each sect needs to send its best disciples to compete.

The martial arts cheats must be kept secret, and it is necessary to prevent other sects from stealing learning. Therefore, only the best disciples are qualified to practice.

There are many difficult questions in the Theory of Fayang, and with such a layer of mystery, until the 80s, it was regarded as the highest classic of life and death problems in the Go world.

However, there are not many really difficult questions in it. Because at that time, there was not a lot of material for the question of life and death. To tell the truth, the status of the Yang Theory has been elevated, and it is not as mysterious as imagined. For example, Luo Shenzhu and Gu Dali, when they were 10 years old, they did the Yang Theory several times.

What about ancient Chinese chess? In ancient times, the government also paid wages to chess players, called "Hanlin Chess Waiting Edict", which was also a permanent institution for a long time. However, the nature is still a little different from Japan. When you see the word "Hanlin", you know that the official values more about the artistry and culture of Go. In terms of competitiveness, it is not as strong as Japan.

There is always a problem with Chinese literati, they pay attention to the wind and snow. I want a nice name for everything. Similarly, taking the question of life and death as an example, the regular, easy-to-name ones are sought after by the literati. For example, the classic murderous tesuji of "Goshawk Fighting Rabbit" has regularity. The name sounds good. Such talents have been handed down.

In Go, as long as there is a regularity, it is not very difficult. So it's not that Japanese ancient chess is higher than China, there are many things that Chinese literati don't like, so they haven't been handed down.

A lot of things are the same, and government-run things are not necessarily good. Go is like this, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the government-run Go, and the "Hanlin Chess Edict" existed in name only. At this time, "reckless Go" was booming, and the development of Chinese Go entered a competitive peak.

In the Zhengde period. At that time, the lives of the common people were not bad, and there was still some surplus food at home. In particular, the Liangjiang area can be regarded as an economically developed area. Everyone also has time to "cultivate their sentiments", and they also have time to play Go more, and they can also form gangs. Therefore, in the Liangjiang area, there were two Go gangs, namely the "Yongjia faction" and the "Xin'an faction", and of course, the capital was the political and economic center. It also gave rise to the "Jingshi School". These are the three major schools of Chinese Go.

However, unlike Japan, at this time, the sects in China were all non-governmental organizations. For example, the "Xin'an School" is equivalent to the "Ancient Huizhou Local Go Association". The two schools in the south are basically divided by geography, and the "Jingshi School" is slightly different. Go masters from all over the country want to make a name for themselves. I like to run to the capital. If you settle in the capital, you will become a Jingshi faction. Therefore, the boss of the Jingshi faction may also be from Yongjia or Xin'an.

Although it is a non-governmental organization, it is also quite exciting. The competition between the three major factions is not as bloody as in Japan. But we Chinese pay attention to a face. Sometimes, in order to fight for a breath, there are many interesting stories that happen.

However, after all, it is a non-governmental organization, and there is no official systematic record. All the fun stories are scattered among the people. Elder Fang is a master at studying these things. To study something like this. A very high level is required. For example, Fang Lao, where did he dig out an ancient chess game in the countryside. First of all, we must identify the level of this chess game and the value of this chess game. This requires a high level of Go, and the study of these cultural things is a must for Chinese studies.

Originally, Fang Lao studied these things for his own amusement, mainly to research. Li Xiaoqiang is more insidious, fooling people that they need to connect these things together to make a folk Go history of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Fang is always a real expert, where do you know that Li Xiaoqiang has ulterior motives. Immediately felt that this idea was good, and immediately introduced Li Xiaoqiang as a confidant, and suddenly felt that there was a way forward.

Anyway, Li Xiaoqiang has made up his mind, anyway, there is no rush for such a thing, he is still young now. It doesn't matter if the "Chinese version of the chess soul" is a few years away. When the time comes, Fang Lao has made the framework, and the doctrine is to take it.

Two people with ghosts in their hearts ran to Fang's old house and fooled them for a long time. Satisfied, I went home.

After coming out, Zhang Zhidong seemed to be smiling, with the expression of a pig brother. Li Xiaoqiang observed his words and looks, and knew that this guy had made some progress on the road of picking up girls. I thought about gossiping about it, but I held back.

Of course, the two of them had no way to communicate, and they went around and around to Go. and went around to Li Xiaoqiang's next game.

Zhang Zhidong considered that Li Xiaoqiang lost the second game, and if he couldn't "recall", he had to "look forward":

"Xiaoqiang, do you have any thoughts on the third game?"

Li Xiaoqiang walked forward silently and ignored him. Of course, he had ideas about the third game, but he had no way to communicate with Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong didn't give up, and changed his question:

"Do you think you have any hope of winning the third game?"

"What do you think?"

"Ahem, of course there is hope of winning, but you are mainly studying now, don't take the momentary victory or defeat too seriously......"

Li Xiaoqiang stopped and smiled at Zhang Zhidong:

"Would you believe me if I told you that now is my best time to reach the final?"

Then ignore Zhang Zhidong and stride forward. Leaving reporter Zhang Da alone in the daze, I don't know where Li Xiaoqiang's confidence came from.

Li Xiaoqiang has never been blindly confident, and his self-confidence is based on his own rational analysis. The source of his self-confidence is two words, these two words are:

"Rapid Chess"

The final of the 3rd game is rapid!

Is there a difference between fast and slow in Go? Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge. Go skills, if slow chess relies on "art", then the proportion of "skill" in rapid chess is much more important.

"Art" depends on cultivation and comprehension. As for "technique", it depends on practice, repeated practice, and a lot of practice.

The source of Li Xiaoqiang's confidence comes from the more than 10,000 games of online chess he has played.

A lot of people think that to play rapid chess, you have to react quickly. People who usually have quick thinking have the advantage. This is just a matter of course, and it is completely wrong.

There is no need for theoretical analysis of this, let's look at real-life examples. Let's take one of the most equal, for example, Gu Dali and Kong Erjie, which of the two of them has a high level of rapid chess?

Many people will blurt out, of course, it is Gu Dali, he plays chess fast, and when he plays slow chess, he often can't keep up the time. As for Kong Erjie, he almost counts the seconds, and he has been turned over many times by others in the countdown.

Is that really the case?

Look at the record, how many games has Gu Dali won in the Three Kingdoms Go Tournament? That tournament is rapid, right, did you win the championship in the "Asian Cup"? This is also rapid chess. is a domestic rapid chess competition, and his results are not as good as his own slow chess.

What about Kong Erjie? "Asian Cup" three consecutive championships. There are also quite a few rapid chess champions in China. His rapid chess results are much better than Gudali's.

He was reversed in the countdown, and Li Xiaoqiang believes that the main reason is not that his countdown is not good. Mainly his chess style, his "control flow" is too difficult, there are so many things to think about. So I can't think about it. Playing rapid chess is different, he will deliberately give up some "control flow" plays, so that the results are good.

In fact, China's Ma Xiaofei, Luo Shenzhu, Gu Dali, and other agile chess players are not doing well. Who was it who first proposed rapid chess not by reaction, but by practice?

This person is Ma Xiaofei, the opponent Li Xiaoqiang is about to face. He came up with it in the late 90s.

This kind of image seems to be a bit abnormal, and Li Xiaoqiang has always wanted to be different. Later, he pondered it for a while and found a little reason, but he didn't know if it was right.

The rapid game of Go is usually a 30-second move, or a 60-second move. Li Xiaoqiang believes that as a chess player of the feeling school, his 1 second and 60 seconds are the same, and there is no difference. The computational school is different, he can calculate a lot of things in 30 seconds. A small gap like this is enough to affect the grades.

For example, Zhao Zhixun of Japan, this is a well-known long-term examination school. In Japan's two-man game, each side takes 8 hours, and he often starts counting seconds before 100 moves. The next 100 or so hands were spent in the countdown. Someone who wants to catch him making a mistake in counting seconds is wrong. The Japanese found that he made very few mistakes in the next minute.

Li Xiaoqiang himself has experienced this. The online chess you play can be said to be rapid, and you can really think about a lot of things in 30 seconds or 1 minute.

"I'm a calculator, you're a feeling, hehe, Ma Xiaofei, Ma Xiaofei, ......"

Li Xiaoqiang believes that his own advantage can also offset many gaps in the strength of the two sides.

Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that if one condition is met. Then the probability of reaching the final will be infinitely close to 50%.

What is this condition? (To be continued......)

PS: Hehe, what is this condition?
