Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

If there is a chess player whose understanding of external situations shines brightly in the history of Go, then this person must be Mr. Takenomiya.

In Shin-Koiwa, Katsushika-ku, Shitamachi, Tokyo, Japan, four Go players rarely played mahjong.

As a well-known Go player with a wide range of hobbies, Tian Minze took Yu Lijun to visit Mr. Wugong, and was directly brought to the chess table to gather a number of people. In order to get a deeper understanding of his thoughts on Go from the other party, Tian Minze also only You can join in bravely.

Although Tian Minze rarely plays this Japanese style of play, as long as he understands the rules, it is not difficult for Go players to calculate the probabilities, especially since Tian Minze is at the peak of his memory and cannot handle the table. Playing with a few older poker players still has some advantages.

Tian Min, who was not very familiar with the rules at first, lost a few games first. Today, Mr. Wugong had good luck with his cards. He had a cup in one hand and an upright hand in two consecutive games.

But for things like style, whoever is more useful will always be more advanced in name. Therefore, currently, naturally few chess players really value Japanese Go.

"No," Mr. Takenomiya retorted, "Without borrowing, a strong force is still a strong force. Without a strong force, borrowing is not a borrowing. You must first create a strong force. This is the essence of the cosmic flow. That is to burn the boat. If With a conservative mentality, a little conservative here and a little greedy there, there is no universe left to speak of."

Tian Minze knew in his heart that this was probably just a polite comment.

Mr. Takenomiya laughed, put out the cigarette in his hand, opened the window to get some air, and said confidently, "Then you have found the right person!"

"It seems that although Mr. Tian is good at chess, he is not good at cards," Mr. Takenomiya joked.

You must know that Japanese Go is the place of enlightenment for modern Go. "The first is to occupy the corner, the second is to hang or defend the corner, and the third is to occupy the edge" was first proposed by the Japanese Go community. From the layout model book "碁里绢緻" published in the mid-Edo period, we can clearly see the regional value of "first the corners, then the sides, and then the center".

For example, Chinese Go focuses on the overall layout and space utilization, and pursues the formation of stable terrain and territory. Chess players tend to use thick, robust layouts in an effort to create strong control and advantage over the entire board.

Yu Lijun also looked at Mr. Wugong in confusion, not knowing why.

Tian Min then understood that he had no chance to learn such advanced skills, because Mr. Takemiya had made it very clear that he was full of utilitarianism, and now he could learn to be so elegant and put all his chips on it. The style of the second half of the plate.

Over time, the styles of chess players from each country began to differ.

Mr. Takenomiya was dumbfounded and said, "Take back what I just said, Mr. Tian is the type who will do nothing but make a big splash."

After hearing this, Mr. Takenomiya shook his head, "Fighting spirit is fighting spirit, but fatigue is fatigue. The two are different. I was also full of fighting spirit when I was young, but when I played chess until late at night every day, I couldn't play chess. I get out of cosmic flow because I’m tired. If I feel relaxed and scheduled every day, that’s when my cosmic flow is at its best.”

"So," Mr. Takenomiya blinked, "while enjoying Go, you must first enjoy life. This is my first piece of advice."

Yu Lijun quickly shook his head gently, indicating that it was okay.

On the contrary, Tian Min felt something. He had been too tired recently, and sometimes the chess he played had a mechanical feel to him. How could he talk about the beauty of the chess shape at this time? If this state continues until December, I will probably collapse without Alpha Dog taking action.

After hearing the dissatisfaction in Mr. Takenomiya's words, Tian Minze quickly said, "The concept of Japanese Go is still advanced, but the players in this area lack the courage of the previous generation of players, so it is difficult to display it. I am here I came here this time hoping to learn the essence of cosmic flow from you."

Moreover, this is a Go art master who made a major breakthrough in the traditional theory of Go, so some people commented that after many years, other people's chess records may have disappeared, but Mr. Takenomiya's chess records must be sung classics. Because his chess is full of romanticism, he sublimated Go into art.

"Toshinori, are you tired of playing Go?" Mr. Takenomiya did not directly talk about Go skills, but first asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Mr. Takenomiya took a breath intoxicatedly and said, "I didn't expect that at this time, some people would think of Japanese Go. Chinese chess players were at their peak and had the tendency to sweep the world. They turned around and learned from our backward things. We are really unable to use our finishing skills."

Mr. Wu Gong saw that Tian Minze had some insights and asked, "How much do you think a thick wall is worth?"

Tian Min couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He had indeed despised Japanese Go before.

Before Tian Minze could speak, Mr. Takenomiya waved his hand, "But I want to give you the third piece of advice. When you are young, there is no harm in looking at other styles."

"This", Tian Minze naturally couldn't answer, "it depends on the peripheral borrowing."

Tian Min was stunned.

Yu Lijun translated for Tian Minze on the side, but Tian Minze pursed his lips and smiled and said nothing.

The Go Kingdom in Japan is also divided into two major schools: Houshi and Shishi. Mr. Takenomiya’s confidence is justified, because he is a Japanese cosmic style master and a representative of the Houshi school.

Tian Min thought for a while and shook his head, "No, I am still full of fighting spirit for Go. I enjoy Go."

At this point, Tian Minze believes that he still has some say. After all, AI has proven that pure strength cannot work.

At the beginning of the next round, Tian Min started with a very good hand. He played two red hits in a row, just enough to collect his white hits. Soon, he made a small three-yuan Hu card and made back all the losses he had lost before.

At the end of the round, Mr. Wu Gong finally left the card table and called Tian Minze to the clean room nearby. He lit a cigarette first. Tian Minze looked back at Yu Lijun and frowned.

"You can't think about the power and reality at the same time. Don't be greedy for victory. This is the second piece of advice for you."

In contrast, Japanese Go focuses on the change and utilization of situations and emphasizes the dynamic concept of space. Japanese Go is more flexible in responding to changes in opponents and uses subtle changes to compete for interests and local advantages.

He respectfully took the notes with both hands and found that they were all self-combat explanations written by Wu Gong, and he wrote his own understanding of each move.

This trip was finally a fruitful one.
