Go Legend

   Chapter 44 Bottleneck

   After training frantically on the Internet for more than a week, the total record of “Jingyi” has reached an astonishing 95 wins and 0 losses, and at this time, this account has once again become the focus of the entire network.

  Because some good people have checked it out, since Qingfeng.com was founded, no one has achieved 100 consecutive victories so far. After all, online games are still different from actual battles in reality. If you want to achieve a long-term winning streak on the Internet, in addition to having sufficient strength, you must also prevent disconnection and lameness at any time. So don't look at the fact that there are not many masters who like to surf the Internet these days, but if you want to achieve a 100-game winning streak, it is really not that easy.

   But now, "Exquisite Art" is approaching this goal unknowingly, which makes the masses of melon eaters extremely excited.

Especially on the Qingfeng website forum, there was a post by a guy called "arrogant lone wolf": ""Exquisite Art" has a crazy streak, who will give him ****" (Damn, this word is actually a sensitive word, the one blocked in the previous chapter is After the post of this word), the popularity of this matter has been pushed up again.

   The already high popularity of "Exquisite Art" has become even more prosperous. Every time you fight someone, it will be even more crowded.

   However, Li Xiangping didn't feel anything about all this. After all, it’s been more than a month since he had traveled, and the thrill of playing as a pig and eating a tiger at the beginning had already faded a lot, not to mention that he is playing chess now, mainly to prepare for the Samsung Cup preliminaries in half a month.

   Therefore, in a sense, Li Xiangping hopes that the current "Exquisite Art" can lose a few games. After all, the game of Go is like this. If you want to discover your own problems and shortcomings, you can only concentrate on them when you lose the game, and after winning all the way like now, Li Xiangping can't figure out the effect of such training.

   "The main reason is that there are not many experts on the Internet these days"

  Li Xiangping sighed in his heart, he knew that this was the main reason why "Jingyi" was able to win for so long. Although Li Xiangping tries his best to pick a stronger opponent every time he plays chess, to be honest, it's just "looks".

Because on the Go website, the "9D" group actually has the most disparity, from the professional super-class to the amateur top 5. Therefore, when the number of top players is scarce, the opponents of "Jingyi" these days are basically amateur players. Mainly with second-tier occupations, and not even encountered a few first-tier occupations, so training like this, of course, made Li Xiangping feel uncertain.

   "Brother Ding'an, how do you feel about playing a small game of Go?"

   Li Xiangping also had no choice. He couldn't see any effect, so he could only ask Shi Daqisheng how he felt.

   "Well, Ding'an has gained a little in the past few days. Leaving aside the specific tactics, I feel that the winning strategy of Xiaomu Go is very different from the chess I played back then."

"Oh?"

   Hearing what Lao Shi said, Li Xiangping was very interested, because in the face of the complexity of Go, the medieval chess that played "Zuozi" was indeed completely different from the Japanese chess that revolved around "Xiaomu Go".

   Japanese chess emphasizes that the complexity of Go must be reduced as much as possible in the layout stage, and the balance is achieved by using thick and thick to achieve a balance. The ancient Chinese chess emphasizes that it tries to complicate the situation in the layout stage, and achieves a balance by controlling the loneliness, which is relatively a dynamic balance.

  These two ideas exist not only in Go, but also in any field of competition or confrontation. Li Xiangping also has no prejudice against these two ideas. He believes that there is no difference between the two ideas, and the choice of which one is completely depends on the choice of the participants. But since Lao Shi mentioned this topic, he still wanted to hear what the ancient chess master thought about these two winning ideas.

   "Brother Ding'an, who do you think is better and who is worse between these two winning ideas?"

"this"

   "Brother Ding'an is so fidgety, if you want to speak straight, speak straight."

"That's fine, little friend Xiangping, please forgive me, after trying this method for a few days, I still think that this method is not good enough, and it is not the correct way to win. It's the essence of the game."

   Li Xiangping was stunned. He didn't expect that he kindly asked Lao Shi to "specially train" for more than a week, but he actually waited for such a sentence. If it was Li Xiangping in his previous life before 2015, he would definitely refute it when he heard such words. However, after seeing Go AI, Li Xiangping did not dare to refute it casually.

  Because aside from the specific technical methods, it must be admitted that the winning idea of ​​Go AI is indeed more similar to the medieval chess, which is a kind of "dynamic Go" running at high speed.

The reason why this happens may be because there is a tradition of Chongyi in Chinese history, especially the literati of the past dynasties, they all like to use the yin and yang change ideas in the Book of Changes to explain the world. This kind of subconsciousness The thinking of chess is finally reflected in chess. Chess players like to find a way to win by fighting or defending in a situation with rich changes and frequent transformations.

   In short, this is the choice of their view of Go, the choice is emotional, but the result is also due to rationality. Compared with Confucianism, it is known that the Book of Changes had a much smaller impact on Japan. It may be precisely for this reason that the "Xiaomu Go" developed from Japan has embarked on a different path.

   But although he did not dare to refute Lao Shi's words, considering the purpose of this training, Li Xiangping still pretended to be black:

"Brother Ding'an, I know that you are proficient in arithmetic, and you don't want to discuss these mysterious and metaphysical issues with me. Let me ask you, you were almost defeated by this method a few days ago, so this little eye There should always be some merit to Go, right?"

"Of course, if the advantage of this small-eyed Go is that it is easy to guide the chess into fine detail, Ding'an is ashamed of this, but I tell you, little friend Xiangping, this is not the right path of chess. This way of practice, but it is, it is”

   "But what?"

   "But he will be like that lazy senior. Although he has reached the pinnacle of this road, he is still no match for Yuanzhao, and he will not be able to rank among the "everyone" in his life."

  Li Xiangping was suffocated by Lao Shi again. Again, if it was him in his previous life before 2015, he would definitely sneer when he heard this. You must know that when he was learning chess, the birth of Lee Chang-ho in South Korea greatly improved the status of the technique of "guanzi". Since then, the entire Go world has attached great importance to the technique of Guanzi, and even young players are clamoring for it now. It is "the era of the second half of the game", the layout of Shenma is not important at all, you can play it casually.

   It must be admitted that Li Xiangping at that time also agreed with this point of view. But when Go AI was born, especially in the 60 test chess games between the second-generation dog "master" and humans, there were quite a few chess games that were simply "layout failures". After 60 moves, many human beings are young Chess players have no chance.

   Think of the performance of Go AI, think of the example that Lao Shi just gave, and even think of Li Changhao himself in South Korea. At the peak of his life, he still had a tough player like "Cui Zhehao".

   In the face of Lao Shi's remarks, Li Xiangping certainly didn't know how to refute.

   "Alas! I'm confused, what should I do now"

  Li Xiangping suddenly found that this special training seems to have fallen into a bottleneck.
