Go Legend

   Chapter 807

   Seeing his girlfriend coming, Li Xiangping was still very happy:

   "It's so good this time, you know how to run here to give me warmth."

  Yaya's face turned red at that time: "Bah, what to send warmth, I came here to work."

   "Ah! Work?... By the way, I forgot that you have graduated. What kind of job did you take on?"

   "It's not a show, it's the mission of our song and dance troupe..."

After listening to Yaya's explanation, I knew that she is now in the Central National Song and Dance Troupe. This kind of place is of course semi-official, so there are some performance tasks every year. There are some very official shows.

   "Where are you performing? Hongcheng?"

   "No, I'm going to Jinggang Mountain this time."

   "Oh, when are you going? How long?"

   "It will be over tomorrow, maybe two days."

"Oh."

   After that night, Yaya, who sent warmth for thousands of miles, was not happy. She said angrily to Li Xiangping:

   "What's the matter with you, Li Xiangping? People come from thousands of miles to see you, and they don't care when they talk to you."

   "Ah? No," Li Xiangping quickly denied, and quickly made an excuse:

   "Yaya, you know that playing Go is actually very hard work, um, tired. After four high-intensity games, I'm a little tired now."

But Yaya didn't believe it at all: "Tired? I see that you have gained a lot of weight in the few months since you came out. When you say that you are tired, you are tired of your heart, right? Say, is it because you are tired of being with me? ?"

   "No, no, how is it possible..."

  Li Xiangping was perfunctory with his girlfriend, but on the other side he said to his cheat:

"Hey, Brother Ding'an, I think we shouldn't discuss it today. It's been two days and we still can't find an ideal reference map for White. Now I'm a little suspicious of how I felt before. Maybe it's not a good player at all. The dog trick is just a joke, maybe it's just a half-way trick."

Lao Shi smiled and said: "Okay, this situation is really not suitable for in-depth discussion today, then I will go outside first, but don't be discouraged, little friend Xiangping, don't look at our two days of research without results, my feeling But it is becoming more and more obvious that it is indeed a good move, but it is still not fully understood at our level."

   "Okay, I'll talk about it later..."

After putting the plug-in out, Li Xiangping began to deal with his girlfriend wholeheartedly. Yaya expressed helplessness to his hot and cold attitude. Fortunately, the two have been together for a while, and Yaya can be regarded as meeting. I'm used to some of Li Xiangping's weird behavior.

  For example, he is often habitually distracted, and sometimes even inexplicably lost his mind. Well, this is also because he is familiar, otherwise he might not be able to stand it if he changed his mind.

"Yaya, since you've come here this time, don't rush back, I'll do the math... There are still 9 days before I go to the Yueyang Tower next time, and you will accompany me back to my hometown for more than a week in the middle to have a look. My grandparents."

"what!?"

Hearing Li Xiangping's mention of this, Yaya immediately couldn't think of anything else, because she knew very well that Li Xiangping's father, Li Datuhao, didn't really like her very much. He should prefer Cai Shanshan. .

   Well, Lin still likes him quite a bit, and the two of them get along quite well, but it's just Li Xiangping's stepmother, who has no right to speak on such matters.

   So Li Xiangping told her that the point is actually his grandma. As long as his grandma likes him, there will be no obstacles between the two.

   "Your grandma... your grandparents, will you like me? By the way, if I go to see your grandparents, should I prepare something? Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

   "Don't worry, don't prepare anything, and don't worry that my grandparents will not like you."

  Li Xiangping smiled and comforted his girlfriend:

"At the age of my grandparents, how can the elderly have so many opinions on this kind of thing. In short, what I like is what they like, and my opinion is their opinion, so you don't have to worry at all. As for the precautions, that's it. It doesn’t even exist, our family is not a wealthy family, how can there be those who break the rules, my great-grandfather is an authentic farmer, and my grandparents are also from hardships. They suffered a lot when they were young, so you don’t have to think too much, wait. After you arrive at my hometown, you only need to act in your true colors, and I guarantee you will pass the test."

   "Acting in your true colors?"

   "Yes, it's the true character." Li Xiangping emphasized: "Don't pretend, let alone try to please, just do what you usually do, just show your truest self."

Li Xiangping feels that this emphasis is still necessary. You must know that old revolutionaries like grandparents, of course, they will not pay too much attention to those external conditions. character.

   So to be honest, if Yaya is the kind of person who likes to be a demon or pretend to be--

   Because of their own reasons, most of the two elderly people will not object, but they will definitely still dislike it.

   Fortunately, Li Xiangping felt that the girlfriend he was looking for should not be that kind of person, at least the current Yaya's nature is still pure, so a girl like this must have no problem passing the test with her grandparents.

  On the other hand, if you can see that Yaya really has a problem with the eyes of grandparents and grandparents, and even to the point of reminding yourself, then you may really have to reconsider—

   The above is actually the essence of blind date in China. It may be because he has an old soul in his heart. Li Xiangping has never quite understood why so many young people in later generations are against blind date.

  After discussing the matter of returning to his hometown, Li Xiangping was in high spirits, and he went crazy with his girlfriend all night, and then sent his girlfriend away with dark circles under his eyes, and then came back and studied with the plug-in that it might be "a good chess move beyond the dog".

When Li Xiangping started his research, his opponent had already arrived, but compared with the previous two times, fewer people came this time, and the world team only had Kong Erjie, Zhou Xiaoyang and Cui Du. Hand arrives--

The opponents of the next two games will definitely be among these three, but the fifth game will be played in two days, and now Li Xiangping does not care who the next opponent is. For two days, he and Lao Shi devoted themselves to the study of that move.

   What Li Xiangping didn't even think about himself was that his move was well received by the outside world. Everyone thought he was preparing for the battle even harder because he lost in the fourth game.

   "Tsk tsk tsk," Lao Xie, who followed all the way, said to reporter Zhang Da with emotion:

   "The serious Li Xiangping, I feel that the next chess player will be in trouble."

   But Li Xiangping himself was ignorant of what the outside world was saying.

  The reason is very simple, because he and Lao Shi seem to have encountered a bottleneck in their research. After a whole day of research, there seems to be no progress at all.

   And to understand the situation he is encountering now, we must first explain a proper noun in Go:

   Under the law halfway through.

   The so-called "halfway in the middle" actually corresponds to "everything should be fought for the net"—

   The latter sentence should not need to be explained. I believe that even people who do not know how to play chess should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence literally.

And since "halfway in the middle" corresponds to it, it refers to the kind of high or low, but the original intention is to cover everything, at least two points on the chessboard, but in fact, it fails to grasp one of the points, and it becomes a fact and one step. non chess.

   In Go, in the vast majority of cases, "everything should be a good move" is a good move, while "halfway through" is a bad move.

   However, even if you say this, even those above 3 or above know this kind of chess theory, but in fact, even in top professional competitions, "halfway and halfway" is actually unavoidable.

   There is no other reason, because although it is a bad move in the middle of the road, the starting point of this bad move is really good—

  Go has reached a certain level, then anyone will definitely pursue high efficiency (except for the rare ones like Li Changhao), hoping to play the kind of "all-in-one" chess.

  If you really do it, then of course it is a good chess game that is really dual-purpose or even multi-purpose.

  If you don't do it, then of course it will become the legendary "halfway".

   Obviously, Li Xiangping's White 54 was just such a move.

   Judging from the final result, the battle was a big failure due to that move, so it was like "halfway through".

   It's just that Li Xiangping and Lao Shi didn't know what was going on this time. The two of them seemed to be possessed, and they seemed to have an obsession in their hearts, insisting that it was a good move.

  If you want to unravel this obsession, of course, you can only conduct in-depth research.

  Because human chess players have no other way to solve this kind of problem, they can only search desperately. Only after finding a more ideal reference map, can it be clear whether it is "all-inclusive" or "half-way".

   In fact, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi have been researching that move since the end of the game that night.

   The two studied very carefully and deeply. Within a few days, the two had studied hundreds of change diagrams, and at least they had studied the method after 50 steps.

   However, it is a pity that even though the two of them have researched so deeply, they still have not been able to come to a conclusion.

   is not to say that in this process, the two did not find an ideal reference map for White.

   Just at the current level of Li Xiangping and Lao Shi, the two are still unable to determine the inevitability of those ideal reference pictures——

That move was the 54th move in the overall game. Both of them went after 100 moves, and the furthest one had already studied more than 120 moves. In this case, even if the two of them displayed a satisfactory change chart for White, who knows which of them No other way out? In this process, are there other better moves for Black?

   Whether it is Li Xiangping himself or Lao Shi, he is afraid to say this now.

  Since it is still uncertain, then of course I dare not draw conclusions lightly.

   So this is the bottleneck.

   A bottleneck that is limited by one's own strength, leading to the fear of drawing conclusions easily.

   It’s just that although they have encountered a bottleneck, the two are still enjoying it—

  Because the two knew very well that if they just learned dog tricks, it was basically impossible to beat the dog.

  If you want to beat the Go AI, you must make moves that surpass dog moves in the game.

   This is the only hope!

   So Lao Shi said it well, Li Xiangping's chess move seems to be a glimmer of light in the darkness.

  Although that glimmer of light is likely to be fake, maybe it really is a bad move "halfway".

   But neither Lao Shi nor Li Xiangping wanted to give up.

   Because the two have no reason to give up.

   After studying for a whole day, day and night, the fifth game came soon.

   The night before the competition, Lao Xie and Zhang Da reporters came together to find Li Xiangping. They wanted to tell who the opponent in the next round was.

   Both of them were taken aback when they saw Li Xiangping:

   "Ah! Xiang Ping, haven't you cleaned yourself up for the past two days? Why are you unshaven?"

  Li Xiangping didn't care about this kind of problem:

   "You are here to inform me who my opponent is, who is it?"

   "Well, both of them will tell you in advance this time, Cui Du in the fifth round and Kong Erjie in the sixth round."

"Oh."

  Li Xiangping gave a calm "Oh".

Some book friends asked me to explain that move, so let’s end this chapter. However, since it is such a high-priced method, it is no longer appropriate to explain it with specific moves. This is actually the reason why this book is better than “Go Dream”. Where it is more difficult to write, when writing about the dream of Go, you can describe many specific hand tendons, such as "a mouse steals oil" and "a goshawk fights a rabbit", etc. In the human Go game, writing that way will not violate the harmony.

   But if you want to describe dog fighting, it is inappropriate to write this way. You can't say that using a "goshawk to fight a rabbit" will knock the dog down, right? That would be too inconsistent.

   So I can only describe it like this chapter, I wonder if everyone is satisfied?

By the way, I am considering speeding up the progress of this book, and see if I can add a chapter or two occasionally, because I contacted the editor in charge, and Uncle Seven is considering opening a new book, which is based on the second "Master Architect". a new story.

   Seventh Uncle certainly doesn’t want to write ordinary money-making Xiaobai Shuangwen, so according to my outline, the new book will definitely involve the system and a lot of unspoken rules of the industry.

   It's a pity that this is very easy to 404.

   But the editor-in-chief was very interested in my idea, so I agreed with the editor-in-chief to send him about 10 chapters first. If he thinks that the scale is too large to pass the trial, then the new book will be ignored.

   (end of this chapter)
