Go is one of the four ancient Chinese arts of "chess, calligraphy and painting" and is the quintessence of China. Although I have never played it with anyone after time travel, I worked hard at it during college. By the time I graduated, my The level of Go is between amateur level 3 and 4.
Compared with ancient times, Go in later generations has three obvious changes. The first is the change of seat chess. In ancient Chinese chess games, before the game, two black and white stones were placed on the star positions in the four corners of the chessboard, which is called seat. This method invisibly limited the development of ancient Go in terms of layout. Some even say that it was this layout of block chess that affected the development of modern Go in our country, so much so that it once lagged behind Japanese Go for decades; Second, in ancient Go, there was no such thing as sticking to the opponent's side, which meant that the advantage of being the first mover was very prominent. This is very different from later generations. The rule of modern Go is that the first mover must return two and three-quarters of the opponent's pieces; thirdly, for every additional move, Every piece of chess must be returned to the opponent's piece. Therefore, ancient Go players paid more attention to offense, and players were basically aggressive players. This also resulted in the one-sided characteristic of ancient chess players who had more than enough attack but insufficient defense.
Fang Chenyi placed four chess pieces on the star positions of the chessboard, and pushed a box full of white chess pieces in front of me, indicating to the ego that white chess moves first. White chess moves first is also a major feature of ancient Go, and modern Go Go stipulates that the player holding black goes first, but in ancient games, there is no clear rule. In most cases, players follow the unwritten custom of white going first and black going first, and the person holding white is often a respected person.
From this point, I also feel that Fang Chenyi is likely to know my identity.
"Why do I feel a little hot after entering Xiaoyao Pavilion?" I thought to myself.
"Master Huyan, can we start?"
I looked at the four seats on the chessboard and said: "Mr. Fang, when a person is born, he is naked, which means that the world is originally a blank. For Go, there is no starting point for the game. Putting the seat first beforehand will undoubtedly imprison people's thinking and is inconsistent with the way of heaven. Therefore, I propose that we remove the seat when playing chess and start from scratch."
"Start from scratch," Fang Chenyi was stunned, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately took off the four seat pieces on the chessboard and praised, "Master Hu Yan, let's try a game without seats. ,"
"Okay, I admire Mr. Fang for not sticking to the usual shapes." After saying that, I stretched out my index and middle fingers, picked up a chess piece, and gently placed it on the star position in the upper right corner of the chessboard. Fang Chenyi did not hesitate. I also picked up a sunspot and placed it on the star position in the lower left corner. Soon, I picked up the second chess piece and placed it on the small eye position in the lower right corner, intending to form a famous "Chinese flow" layout in the later generations of Go circles.
It is precisely because of the seats that the openings of Go in ancient my country were just star positions. The "small move" I made can be said to be the first time in the history of ancient Go.
In this regard, Fang Chenyi only thought for a moment before placing the chess piece on the last corner star.
I was quite impressed by this calmness.
I remember that after I learned chess for a year, when my chess ability was about the first-level amateur level, a chess friend who was far inferior to me played a game played by the master Wu Qingyuan. I was shocked. Mr. Wu Qingyuan took the lead with black, and made the first three moves of the novel layout of "Star, Small Eye, Tianyuan". If I hadn't known in advance that this game was played by Master Wu, I would have thought that the chess player was cheating. I, anyone with a certain level of chess skills, all know that the golden horn, silver edge, and grass center are in the center, so when laying out the chess pieces, I always play the chess pieces in the order of the corners first, and then the edges. It is really rare to place the chess pieces in the Tianyuan position in the center of the chessboard at the beginning.
Despite this, I still told my chess friend that he must have made a wrong chess record, and I argued with him about this. There was no Internet in the era when I learned chess, so I knew relatively little information.
To put it simply, my performance at that time was far inferior to that of Fang Chenyi today, who was able to remain calm and composed.
When I was sitting next to the stone chessboard, I suddenly had a desire to win. In fact, this was just an ordinary chess game. At most, Fang Ling's father wanted to test my chess skills and skills, but I I didn't notice at the time that my mentality was gradually changing as the chess game began. It can even be said that after I entered Xiaoyao Pavilion, my mood became a little excited. As for the reason, I don't know at all, I just hope that I I can win this chess game, and I feel more and more that this is not an ordinary chess game, but an imperative chess game, like a battle for the world. It even reminds me of Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty. The legend of competing for the world with a bearded guest by playing chess.
The third chess piece I dropped formed the Chinese flow layout as expected.
Judging from the subsequent progress, my chess skills were more than a little different from Fang Chenyi's, but this new layout made Fang Chenyi rack his brains. As Fang Chenyi thought about it for longer and longer, I I could vaguely feel that traces of heat gradually appeared in various meridians in my body, and these heat seemed to be ready to move.
After the star position in the upper right corner was finalized, Fang Chenyi finally started to attack the chess piece I placed at the "small eye" position in the lower right corner.
Time passed little by little. Although every move played by Fang Chenyi was basically consistent with the formulas in later generations' textbooks, it took a long time. After about three quarters of an hour, there were still only two sparse moves on the chessboard. More than ten chess pieces.
Just from the more than 20 moves in the beginning, I can see that Fang Chenyi's chess skills are far superior to mine. I use fixed moves that I have memorized by heart. The best moves have been summarized from thousands of chess games, but every move Fang Chenyi made was improvised by himself, and he could basically decipher every move I made. This surprised me. Comparing the two sides , the difference in chess skills between Fang Chenyi and I naturally became apparent. According to my estimation, Fang Chenyi’s chess skills are definitely at the professional level of later generations.
"Master Huyan, it seems that you have done in-depth research on small-purpose offense and defense,"
I said sarcastically: "Mr. Fang, what a joke."
Just when I was surprised, Fang Chenyi also felt that it was unexpected. From his eyes, I could feel it, but I thought it was just because my chess style was novel and unique, and it had never been seen in the chess records of this era. That’s why it happened before.
Fang Chenyi thought for a moment and landed on the thirtieth step. At this time, I felt that my body was getting hotter and hotter. Logically speaking, the Double Ninth Festival is already autumn and it shouldn't be so hot. Besides, Xiaoyao Pavilion is located halfway up the mountain. At first glance, there seemed to be a trace of sweat on Fang Chenyi's forehead.
Suddenly, I found that my consciousness could already "see" the scene outside Xiaoyao Pavilion with my back to me. This so-called "seeing" was not an image through the eyes, but a kind of perception, just like there was something in my mind. The camera is automatically scanning and constantly showing these images.
"Could it be the result of the mastery of Wuying Jue's body technique?" The heat in my body began to show a certain pattern, running slowly through the veins.
Fang Chenyi's response was still correct. I knew that if I couldn't gain an overwhelming advantage within the first fifty moves, I would definitely lose this game. I thought so, and Fang Chenyi thought the same.
From the previous thirty moves, Fang Chenyi felt that my chess skills were still superior to his. Although both sides responded correctly, the time spent was completely disproportionate. I was understatement and my moves were flying, while Fang Chenyi was It's hard thinking and meditation.
You must know that Fang Chenyi is a genius and is quite conceited about chess skills. However, what surprised Fang Chenyi most was not on the chessboard. When I entered Xiaoyao Pavilion, Fang Chenyi, in order to test the depth of my martial arts, used Although his unique supreme mental technique only used less than 10% of his power, I only had a moment of resistance in my body, which is why I felt hot.
As the chess game progressed, Fang Chenyi gradually increased the intensity of his mental skills in secret, but he was always blocked by the resistance in my body. When I used two success powers, I still acted as if nothing had happened, which made Fang Chenyi I felt even more puzzled, and besides, my attitude was still as if nothing had happened.
With Fang Ling's martial arts, he could only withstand more than 20% of Fang Chenyi's pressure. However, Fang Ling had said that the martial arts of Mr. Huyan in front of him was far inferior to hers. Fang Chenyi absolutely trusted Fang Ling and quietly sent him to Fang Ling. The pressure increased to 30%, but I still had no reaction. How can I explain this?
When I reached the thirty-sixth step, I suddenly felt uneasy. It seemed that there was a sense of oppression in Xiaoyao Pavilion, rushing towards me from all directions. I took a deep breath, straightened my waist, and forced myself to I cheered up and made the thirty-seventh chess move. At that moment, I found that the heat in my body had completely gathered in my meridians, like a team of soldiers lined up neatly, ready to go at any time.
Step 38, Step 40, Step 42.
It's my turn to take step 43.
I thought for a while and was about to place the chess pieces on the chessboard at the intersection I expected. Suddenly my brain got hot and I actually placed the chess pieces all the way to the lower right of the originally planned intersection. This move was not impossible. It's just that this move is a famous "cheating move" in later generations of Go. I didn't originally think about it that way, but for some reason my brain suddenly became out of control and I made a "cheating move".
At the same time, the scope of my consciousness continues to expand, and I can now "see clearly" the images of Yuan Ji, Fang Ling and others five meters away. It's like there is a black and white TV in my mind. Can play live broadcast.
Just listen to Fang Lingyan say: "Why does it take so long to play Go? It's almost an hour. If this continues, there will be no time to go to Shangqing Palace to observe and discuss Taoism."
The old man in black, Suo Wuji, said: "Miss, I heard my master say that the longest chess game he ever played lasted two days and two nights."
"What, this is okay,"
Yuan Ji stood aside and said nothing, but his face looked extremely serious, as if he sensed something was wrong.
After Fang Chen took the test, he made the forty-fourth move. As soon as the chess piece fell, I knew that he had finally made a mistake and the deception worked. After the chess piece was placed, he immediately realized that something was wrong and said softly "Hey" With a cry,
