Literary Master 1978

Nie Weiping is not yet 30 years old, but he is already a leading figure in the domestic Go world, but he is still far from reaching his peak state.

He is full of interest in the Go patterns, layouts and routines mentioned by Lin Chaoyang. After continuous questioning, his heart is no longer satisfied with this question-and-answer method.

"Do you have time now? Why don't we play two games?"

"This..."

Nie Weiping looked at his hesitant expression, remembered that Lin Chaoyang still had work, and said: "I forgot that you have to go back to work, then I will come to you on Sunday."

Don't worry!

Isn't it just being abused? Anyway, it will be abused sooner or later, and the sooner the abuse, the sooner the rebirth. Being abused on Sunday will ruin the good mood of the day.

Putting down the psychological burden, Lin Chaoyang said cheerfully: "Let's do it now. I'll ask my colleagues for leave."

Nie Weiping said happily: "Okay."

Lin Chaoyang returned to the library and asked for leave. Nie Weiping asked again: "Where are we going to play chess?"

"Come with me."

Lin Chaoyang led Nie Weiping to Langrun Lake Apartment. The Overseas Chinese Apartment was a bit far from Yanda, so it was better not to bother. Just play two games at my father-in-law's house.

When the two walked downstairs, they saw Tao's mother standing under the tree and chatting with neighbors.

Lin Chaoyang greeted Tao's mother and introduced Nie Weiping.

In recent years, Nie Weiping's name is not unfamiliar to ordinary people. When he helped the Chinese team win the China-Japan Go Contest in 1976, Nie Weiping's deeds were widely reported in China. Anyone who pays a little attention to the news basically knows him.

Hearing that Nie Weiping was coming to play Go with Lin Chaoyang, Tao's mother was surprised. She only knew that her son-in-law could play Go before, but she didn't expect that a national player like Nie Weiping would come to play Go with him.

"Mom, let's go upstairs first."

After saying hello, Lin Chaoyang said to Tao's mother.

"Oh, okay, go ahead, your dad and your uncle Zhu are at home."

Tao's mother watched Lin Chaoyang take Nie Weiping upstairs, and the neighbor next to her said with envy: "Your Yushu is really good at finding such a talented husband like Xiaolin."

Tao's mother suppressed the smile on her face and said: "They are in a free love relationship, and Chaoyang has saved Yushu's life."

"Really? I didn't know this before, what's going on?"

"It's a long story..."

When Lin Chaoyang and Nie Weiping went upstairs, Tao's father and Zhu Guangqian were playing Go. When they said hello, Zhu Guangqian took the time to look up, and his expression was immediately stunned, pointing at Nie Weiping, his face full of surprise.

"Nie Weiping!"

Hearing his old friend's call, Tao's father turned his eyes to the young man next to his son-in-law. Nowadays, the media is not well developed. Apart from those movie stars, ordinary people are familiar with many celebrities by name, but they don't know what they look like.

Zhu Guangqian stood up and walked over, "Is it Nie Weiping?"

Lin Chaoyang introduced: "This is Professor Zhu Guangqian of Yanda University."

Nie Weiping smiled and shook hands with Zhu Guangqian, "Hello, Professor Zhu, I am Nie Weiping."

"It's really you!" The old man shook Nie Weiping's hand, his face a little excited.

After a round of greetings, Zhu Guangqian quietly asked Lin Chaoyang: "How do you know him?"

Lin Chaoyang had an unfathomable expression on his face and said: "It can't be said, it can't be said!"

Zhu Guangqian saw that he was keeping it a secret, his face was unhappy, and he approached Nie Weiping and asked.

"I came to learn chess from Comrade Chaoyang."

Nie Weiping's words not only surprised Zhu Guangqian, but also made Tao's father look uncontrollably surprised.

Nie Weiping, a national player, is going to exchange chess skills with Lin Chaoyang?

"Is his level enough to compete with you?" Zhu Guangqian pointed at Lin Chaoyang and asked Nie Weiping in disbelief.

"Comrade Chaoyang has his own unique understanding of Go, and I was quite inspired when I communicated with him."

Although he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, since Nie Weiping said so, Zhu Guangqian could not say anything more.

"Then you guys come to play."

He took the initiative to give up the chessboard, and then stood firmly behind Nie Weiping.

It is a rare opportunity to watch the national players play chess at such a close distance, so I have to learn well, and by the way, see how Lin Chaoyang is abused.

Nie Weiping and Lin Chaoyang both sat down, and they each took back their chess pieces, cleared the chessboard, and Lin Chaoyang played black.

"Comrade Chaoyang, please!"

Nie Weiping stretched out his hand to Lin Chaoyang, and his originally lazy and sloppy temperament changed in an instant, as if he had changed into a different person, and even his eyes became sharp.

In front of the chess master, Lin Chaoyang did not dare to be careless. Even though he knew that his strength was far inferior to that of the opponent, he still showed his fighting spirit.

There is a saying in the AI ​​era: When in doubt, click 33.

With the powerful computing power support of AI, the 33 pattern that can attack or defend is one of the most common openings.

In the first four moves, both sides occupied two 33 positions, and then in the fifth move, the black chess piece was attached to the white chess piece in the second move.

After a fight between the two sides, all the black chess pieces were pressed to the bottom by the white chess pieces, but at this time, the black chess pieces suddenly jumped out and ran to the sideline to open up another battlefield.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Nie Weiping couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Lin Chaoyang's black chess pieces were pressed to a low position. It is understandable that he wants to find another way, but what is the intention of leaving the other three corners and running to the second sideline to make a move?

Unable to guess Lin Chaoyang's thoughts, Nie Weiping could only continue to play.

After 24 moves, the white and black chess pieces were facing each other in the second and third roads, and the two armies were clearly divided. The black pieces had 5 breaths. As long as the white pieces could grow 6 breaths first, they could kill the black pieces.

At this moment, the black pieces suddenly forced down, and Nie Weiping hurriedly played the 30th move to split, and then jumped again in the 32nd move, and the 34th move was long, and then the 36th move was connected, making the maximum use of the advantages of the white chess pieces, forcing Lin Chaoyang to make up the chess pieces.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chaoyang not only did not make up the chess pieces, but forced the head again, making the situation evenly matched again. After feeling the weirdness of Lin Chaoyang's thinking, Nie Weiping could only play a delaying tactic and take it slowly.

After 50 moves, he felt that Lin Chaoyang's level had dropped significantly, and it did not bring him much pressure until the end.

The result was of course that Lin Chaoyang lost. He only had three tricks in the layout stage, and only had the surprise of AI Go, but no strong computing power support.

Playing against Nie Weiping was like a donkey from Qian encountering a tiger. Except for being able to scare the opponent with his strange appearance at the beginning, he was in a mess afterwards.

After a game of chess, Nie Weiping recalled the game just now, especially in the layout stage. He felt that Lin Chaoyang's chess skills were not high, but his chess style was indeed different.

"Who did you learn chess from?" he asked.

"No one taught me, I learned it by myself." Lin Chaoyang said casually.

Nie Weiping nodded. If he was born in a wild way, this chess style that broke away from the traditional Go thinking would be reasonable.

The key is that facing Lin Chaoyang's unexpected Go thinking, his thinking became active and very inspiring.

"Let's play another game!" Nie Weiping invited.

"Still playing?" Lin Chaoyang had a bitter face.

It's fun to bully the weak, but it's not fun to be bullied.

Nie Weiping invited Lin Chaoyang so kindly that he had no choice but to play two more games with him. The result was that he almost lost all his pants.

In the end, Lin Chaoyang's facial features were wrinkled and he looked sad. Nie Weiping was too embarrassed to play any more.

Seeing Lin Chaoyang being beaten by Nie Weiping for three games, Zhu Guangqian, who was watching the game, felt indescribably happy.

You usually show off to me, but you finally got beaten this time, right? You were totally powerless to fight back. It was so refreshing.

Feeling happy in his heart, but still paying attention to his demeanor, Zhu Guangqian said earnestly: "Chaoyang, your level is not good enough!"

Lin Chaoyang glanced at him, and there were four words clearly written on his face: a villain succeeds.

Thinking about the fact that he had been bullying the noob for such a long time, perhaps with some guilt in his heart, Nie Weiping said out of a desire to compensate Lin Chaoyang: "Comrade Chaoyang is quite good, and his chess style is unique. If we only talk about the first fifty moves, I may not be able to beat him."

Listening to Nie Weiping's words, Zhu Guangqian was surprised, and even Tao's father beside him was surprised.

They saw it clearly from the side just now, but Lin Chaoyang was suppressed by Nie Weiping the whole time.

It seems that there is a back and forth in the initial layout stage, which is not very normal. There are not many chess pieces, what can be seen?

No matter how Zhu Guangqian and Tao's father reacted, Lin Chaoyang smiled immediately after listening to Nie Weiping's words, and the depression of being bullied just now was immediately thrown behind his mind.

"Hey, Comrade Weiping, you are polite. I heard that your first fifty moves are known to be invincible in the world. How can I compare with you!"

He said modestly, but Lin Chaoyang's face, smiling like a chrysanthemum, had deeply betrayed his heart.

Nie Weiping said modestly: "There is no such thing as being invincible in the first fifty moves. I just thought more when I was laying out the game. I was very inspired by the games I played with you. Come on, let's review the game."

Nie Weiping does not have the title of "invincible in the first fifty moves". This is what he said in an interview after he reached middle age.

Nie Weiping pulled Lin Chaoyang to review the game just now. Reviewing the game can help masters to see the gains and losses, but Lin Chaoyang is still a long way from being a master. He can only show his presence in front of Liang Zuo, Zhu Guangqian and other rookies.

When analyzing the first few dozen moves, he can still explain his layout logic clearly, but he can't explain it clearly later, and can only say that it is based on feeling.

After reviewing the game, Nie Weiping said with some regret: "You are really imaginative and unrestrained in your layout, but it's a pity that I am old now and it is almost impossible to make further progress. Otherwise, I can really spend more energy on this aspect."

Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "Go is just a pastime for me."

Nie Weiping nodded and said: "I have been inspired a lot by playing these games with you. I will think about your layout again when I go back. It is really interesting."

The two chatted for a while, and Nie Weiping said goodbye to Lin Chaoyang.

"I will come to play chess with you next time I have the chance."

Lin Chaoyang smiled bitterly, "I play chess for fun. You can come to me for drinks and meals, but forget about playing chess."

Hearing this, Nie Weiping couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'll come back to drink with you next time!"

After Nie Weiping left, Lin Chaoyang cleaned up the chessboard. Seeing that Zhu Guangqian still had the satisfaction of revenge on his face, he said, "Come on, let's play two games!"

Just after being abused, he also needed to abuse the newbie to get back in a good mood.

"Your level is too average, I'm not interested." Zhu Guangqian said disdainfully.

"I think you are guilty, right?"

Zhu Guangqian sneered, "I don't know who was just killed and lost his armor."

Lin Chaoyang listened to his sarcasm without any shame on his face, "He is a national player, what's so embarrassing about me losing to a national player?"

After saying this, Zhu Guangqian was almost invincible. He stammered, not knowing how to fight back.

At this time, Lin Chaoyang took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Did you hear it just now? Nie Weiping also praised my good layout, saying that he might not be able to beat me in the first fifty moves."

Encountering a critical blow, Zhu Guangqian was successfully broken and muttered stubbornly.

"He was just being polite, but you took it seriously. He plays chess badly, but thinks well."
