After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 168 167. Fight

"You played really well yesterday, but it was a pity that you fell short a little bit. The slight gap in the endgame was still hard to catch up. In fact, the tone was set in the middle game.

But to be honest, you have improved compared to three months ago, and the speed of improvement is very fast. At this rate of improvement, if I play with you again next year, I may not be sure. "

Fang Yuan looked at Zhan Lang, who was sitting opposite him and playing with the rosary in his hand. He fanned himself with the fan and said with a smile.

It seems that Fang Yuan is praising Zhan Lang, but in fact his meaning is very clear. Although you play well and improve quickly, you are no longer as good this year. My level is still firmly above yours.

So you have no chance in this final, you should pack up and try again next year.

It can be seen that Fang Yuan, who won the first game of the five-game match, was in a good mood and even began to feel proud.

Of course, what Fang Yuan said was also intended to suppress Zhan Lang’s momentum.

As long as we can suppress Zhan Lang in this round and lead 2-0 in the five-game match, there is basically no possibility of losing.

After all, such a difficult thing as coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 has only happened a few times in the history of Go.

Not to mention Zhan Lang who still lacks experience in playing chess.

"In fact, I feel that you don't have much confidence this year."

Listening to Fang Yuan's tone which seemed full of confidence, Zhan Lang played with the rosary in his hand and said with a smile.

If Fang Yuan was really so confident, he wouldn't have sought out so many people to train privately and imitate his style for targeted practice.

But it has to be said that the opponent's training did have a certain effect.

Zhan Lang was restricted in every way in the first game and even suffered a lot of losses. Although he made up some ground in the end, he still lost to Fang Yuan.

However, Zhan Lang didn't care much about it. After all, when the national team was playing training matches, Zhan Lang and Fang Yuan had no idea how many times they had played. Zhan Lang naturally lost more in the beginning, but now his losses have gradually decreased.

But losing a game is not something unacceptable. On the contrary, it is most terrible if the failure in the first game affects the performance in the following games.

"But I still won it, so the game is over."

"We've only played one round of five-game chess, why are you in such a hurry? Does Fang Yuan Nine Dan need a victory so badly to boost his confidence?"

“Oh, everyone thinks you are very strong in the mid-game, but in fact, in my opinion, many people’s perception is very flawed and they are deceived by the surface of your game.

You start the game by making some new moves to bring the situation into the area you are good at, and then firmly suppress others in a familiar situation, or even catch prey with a trap prepared at the beginning.

But unfortunately, you were unable to successfully guide the game into a familiar situation in the first game. Even though you were charging recklessly in an unfamiliar area, you were still firmly controlled by me in the middle game.

Without the support at the beginning, your mid-game is actually not as scary as many people imagine.

But in a short period of time, you have no way to change some of your moves. I guess you can't think of any good solution for today's game, right?"

When Fang Yuan said this, he suddenly felt full of confidence.

The first game already meant that his prediction was successful, and he found the flaw in Zhan Lang.

Everyone else felt that Zhan Lang’s mid-game ability was the strongest, but after careful study, Fang Yuan concluded that this was not the case.

Some of Zhan Lang's new tactics were completely unacceptable to many people, but looking back, Zhan Lang's victories in many games were actually due to a mine he had buried at the beginning of the game, but it was not detonated until the middle game.

It looks like a strong mid-game move, but in fact it is a trick left over from the beginning.

Zhan Lang’s real strength in the mid-game lies in his cunningness. He can often hit people at their weakest points, and his ghost hand can make people want to live or die.

So after three months of preparation, Fang Yuan determined two points when facing Zhan Lang.

One is not to use the new method of Zhan Langzou at the beginning, but to use the simplest method of surrounding each other. The simplest way is the best.

The second is to play the chess pieces thickly in the middle game, so that Zhan Lang can't find any place to borrow. No matter how recklessly Zhan Lang rushes, he will be restricted everywhere.

As long as he can achieve these two points, Zhan Lang's abilities will be reduced by at least 30% to 50%, basically like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

Facing him again, Fang Yuan naturally felt that it was not a problem.

Looking at Fang Yuan who was full of confidence, Zhan Lang took the rosary he was playing with in his hand.

"But don't you have weaknesses at the ninth level of Fangyuan?"

"Weakness, what are my weaknesses?"

Fang Yuan heard what was said and said indifferently that although he was not comprehensive, he did not have any obvious shortcomings.

It would be too difficult to win by grabbing your own braids.

Not to mention that Zhan Lang didn't prepare himself well in these three months.

The difference between being prepared and being unprepared has now been fully demonstrated.

Looking at Fang Yuan who was confident, Zhan Lang said with a smile: "Fang Yuan's strength at 9th dan should be the weakest among the top chess players, right?"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed immediately.

Fang Yuan was not angry, but felt like he had heard a joke.

It's like someone told Liu Xiang, I think your explosive power is the weakest among the top track and field athletes.

Not only will you not be angry, but you will feel that the other person is a fool.

You have to know that Chinese professional chess players have not been playing modern Go for a particularly long time. Even many of those who have been playing chess in the new era have been greatly influenced by the style of ancient Chinese chess.

After all, the teacher who teaches them comes from a background in ancient chess, so it's hard for him not to have a distinct style.

Even though Chinese Go is also tending towards a more comprehensive development with a big picture perspective, the ancient chess style of being belligerent and combative is still incorporated into the playing styles of many top players.

Fangyuan is naturally no exception.

Although he always thinks of himself as a chess player with a broad perspective, he would never think that his strength is weak.

On the contrary, Fang Yuan believes that in terms of strength, looking at the entire Chinese Go community, Chen Long might have been able to compete with him before he retired, but after he retired, China could no longer find a player who could compete with him in strength.

Zhanlang's style is more like an assassin than a berserker.

As a result, Zhan Lang actually told me today that his strength is the weakest among the top chess players?

fun!
"If you were trying to make me laugh, I think you succeeded."

Fang Yuan completely regarded what Zhan Lang said as a joke. If he was weak, there would be no strong chess players in the entire world, let alone the top-notch ones.

"Then let's just take a look."

Looking at Zhan Lang's confident smile, Fang Yuan always felt a little heavy in his heart. It was obviously him who won the first game, so the opponent should be the one who was nervous.

How come Zhan Lang doesn't seem panicked at all?
There are only two possibilities in this situation.

One is that Zhan Lang has a selfless style, not caring about winning or losing, but this is reflected in the chess, without some desire to win, the chess player may always lack a breath, even if the strength is there, but always can not beat some people. Another is that Zhan Lang has a big heart that all Go players dream of, no matter what kind of disadvantages he faces, he can keep a calm mind, and the more adversity he faces, the more courageous he becomes.

But the first possibility, no.

The first move was guessed anew in each of the five-game matches of the New Sports Cup. In the last game, Zhan Lang played black, but this time the first move was guessed to be white.

"If it's Black this time, you might still have a chance, but it's more difficult for White."

Seeing Zhan Lang getting the white chess piece, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If the threat level of the black chess piece's battle wave is 90, the white chess piece's is only 80.

This round started off smoothly for me, so it shouldn't be a problem to win!
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's slightly unstable mood before the game immediately calmed down.

The advantage is mine.

Zhan Lang, as the last one to move, started the clock directly. When he heard the sound of the timer next to him starting to tick, Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to make a move. After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he took a deep breath and placed the first black piece.

Black chess, star small eye no worry corner.

White chess, deformed triple star.

The battle waves did not hit or rush to Fang Yuan's Worry-Free Corner, because even if it did, Fang Yuan still tried to avoid the battle, and it didn't have much effect.

In the viewing room next door, Wang Xinhao followed Chen Long in and saw the game between two people on the big board next to them.

"They are just laying the floor."

This was the first thought that came to Wang Xinhao's mind when he looked at the game on the market.

The two sides formed a very similar mirrored start on the left and right sides, and they went their own way. Each side occupied one side, and they were all destroying the sides and flying around, not caring about the other side at all.

Fang Yuan also continued to use the method of paving the floor, and the eleventh move was made on the star position in the center below.

Zhan Lang's move destroyed the Fangyuan Xiaofei hanging position in the upper right corner to the greatest extent.

"Is this traditional way of laying the floor popular in China now?"

Looking at the ordinary layout on the chessboard, Wang Xinhao couldn't help but ask a question.

With the current dozen or so moves, anyone from the top players to the beginners can easily play it.

There is no technical content and nothing wrong with it.

It is normal to appear in games of any level and there is nothing surprising about it.

The main feature is a plain flooring, and it's boring.

Wang Xinhao clearly remembered that when he came here two years ago, Chinese Go was still a very aggressive game and it looked very exciting.

As a result, now people are no longer competing in moves, but instead are competing in internal strength?
Influence of Japanese Go?

Chen Long shook his head when he heard this: "Fang Yuan thought that he couldn't beat Zhan Lang in a battle of moves, so he directed the situation to the simplest and clearest pattern.

But from what I know about these two people, even if they start the game with this floor layout, a fight is inevitable. "

None of these two people is a genuine chess player. It is impossible for them to honestly lay out a whole board on the floor and play a game that looks like an amateur one.

"Brother Wang, if this was your time, where would you like to land?"

Wang Xinhao scratched his hair when he heard this. He was not afraid of showing weakness at all. He was just an amateur, not to mention that he was one of the sponsors. Even if he said something wrong, no one would dare to say anything.

"It's such a big demolition. If it were me, I would just break in. What would Brother Chen choose?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Long said: "Let's hang the chess pieces and let the white chess pieces make up the pieces below. Then I will jump. This way, the black chess pieces will expand rapidly."

Wang Xinhao nodded when he heard this. The two moves Chen Long mentioned were very simple. As soon as he heard them, a picture formed in his mind. In this way, the black pieces were indeed very inflated.

However, as an amateur chess player, Wang Xinhao still feels that the gap in the middle is a bit too big and it is easy to be attacked?

However, Wang Xinhao did not choose to express his opinion. It was a bit presumptuous for an amateur to show off his skills in front of a ninth-dan player.

Thirteenth move, Black chess, suppress!
Seeing that the area directly covered the area of ​​Zhan Lang’s base camp on the left, Chen Long was stunned.

It’s not that this move is bad. This move can be said to suppress Zhan Lang’s left side to the greatest extent. However, it is really too fierce for a black soldier to go deep into the enemy camp alone.

"Zhan Lang's jump is the key to the rise and fall of both sides. Fang Yuan's flying move is also a good move. If Zhan Lang's flying move is ordinary, Fang Yuan has a good hand at big flying moves.

Once this step occurs, the situation above the battle wave is immediately suppressed. If you want to make up for it, the efficiency is a bit low. If you don't make up for it, Fang Yuan still has the means to continue to compress the battle wave formation, and Fang Yuan's own chess shape is stretched, so naturally there is nothing unsatisfactory. "

Listening to Chen Long's one-on-one explanation next to him, Wang Xinhao couldn't help rubbing his nose.

I always feel that if it were me, every move would be exactly the wrong one that Brother Chen Long pointed out. I want to follow suit and also want to make up for it.

"In actual combat, Zhan Lang chose to hold the left side, defending his own territory while also preventing Fang Yuan's black pieces from leaving so easily.

If Fang Yuan dared to pull it down directly at this time, there would be nothing to be afraid of even if Zhan Lang broke in and fought directly.

After all, this is Zhan Lang's white chess formation. If a battle breaks out, Fang Yuan will be the one who suffers due to the advantage in pieces."

Fang Yuan, who was sitting at the chess table, naturally understood this. Although he was confident in his own strength, he was not a brainless reckless man.

After a little thought, Fang Yuan chose the star position in the upper left corner to lean on, leaving it for borrowing in preparation for future battles.

But Zhan Lang directly grabbed the black pieces from below, cutting off their connection, and his meaning was very clear.

Which man plays Go while laying the floor?

beat!
PS: Tomorrow in the Langko Cup, Tucker will face South Korea's quasi-king, who is currently ranked seventh.

You may not have heard of him, he is the boyfriend of world runner-up Da Zhuang.

By the way, let me talk about Lao Ke’s recent performance in Lan Ke.

In the 16 Lan Ke Cup, in the final against Lao Mi, he was defeated in the middle game
In the 18 Lan Ke Cup, I met Tan Xiao in the final and was defeated in the middle game

In the 20 Lan Ke Cup, Ke Jie won 12 games in a row, but was eliminated in the round of 16
In the 22nd Lan Ke Cup, I met Liao Yuanhe and lost in the first round

Now someone is on a seven-game winning streak...

Q: Isn’t Quzhou Kecheng District also Ke Jie’s home court?

A: It's bad. Isn't this just like a person who has lost himself in chess?
The advantage is in the quasi-emperor! All in tomorrow!
