After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 169 168. First sharp then kill
"Robbery in just over twenty hands?"

Looking at Fang Yuan who attacked forcefully in the 27th move, Chen Long could not help but frown.

Robbery is an indispensable technique in Go, and it surrounds every aspect of Go.

In professional games, you rarely see two games without a ko.

Even if you don't rob for three or four games, everyone will wonder if there is something wrong with your play?
The rare draws in Go are all related to the strategy of robbery. Countless classic games and comebacks are closely related to the strategy of robbery.

Robbery is always an eternal topic in professional games.

Living towards death comes from robbery.

If you act rashly, you will end up living and dying.

This is a disaster for both parties!
But, isn't it a bit too early to start the robbery today?
You know, robbery requires both parties to have sufficient materials.

"Jiecai" means materials for robbery.

Kou, also known as "Ko Zha", refers to a situation where both black and white players have surrounded each other's pieces. If it is the white player's turn to play, he can capture a black piece; if it is the black player's turn to play, he can also capture a white piece. Because this cycle will form an unsolvable loop, the rules of Go prohibit "repeating the same shape".

According to the rules, after you "capture" a piece, the opponent cannot immediately capture it back even if it is possible. You must first make a move somewhere else, and then "capture" it back after the opponent responds. This "somewhere else" on the chessboard that allows the opponent to respond is called "capture".

There is a saying in Go that goes "There is no ko in the first move", which means that in the layout stage, there is no fighting between the two sides and there is no life-and-death issue, so there is no major ko material.

If a robbery occurs at this time, the party that initiates the robbery first will definitely gain the advantage.

Because once no material for the robbery can be found, the party that takes the initiative can immediately gain a great advantage.

But if Zhan Lang thinks that the first chess piece has no threat and sticks up and gives in at this time, Fang Yuan will stick to it from below. Such black chess pieces are very thick and can be broken from below.

But White should have the first move, so that makes sense.

Originally, Chen Long thought that Zhan Lang would choose to endure and keep calm for a while. After all, robbing at this time was not a good choice. However, knowing Zhan Lang's next move, he directly cut it off.

Start the robbery!
Seeing Zhan Lang's decisive move, Fang Yuan was also a little surprised. He originally wanted to take advantage of Zhan Lang and let him be patient. Anyway, he didn't suffer much loss.

Besides, young man, suffering a loss is a blessing!

The robbery was completely unexpected for Fang Yuan.

Who knew that Zhan Lang couldn't bear such a thing and directly robbed himself.

After all, it is a consensus among everyone that there is no rob in the first chess game. It is not a wise choice to rob before making a few moves.

But after Fang Yuan thought about it carefully, he felt that it was better for him. After all, he was the one who proposed it first, and he would have more advantages in this initial situation.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at Zhan Lang who was sitting opposite him provocatively. He didn't say anything, but his expression and body movements were very obvious.

Young people are still too arrogant!
Although Zhan Lang was looking down at the chessboard at this time, his body's intuition made him clearly feel the provocative gaze from the opposite side.

Zhan Lang looked up and smiled, then silently put down the chess piece he had picked up, and then retracted his index finger, forming an internationally recognized gesture.

If you are not passionate, what are you called a young person!

Zhan Lang went straight to the lower right corner. If Fang Yuan dared not to respond at this time, Zhan Lang would rush down directly.

This threat is not very severe for Zhan Lang. The circle on the upper left corner has already been damaged, and the lower left corner is still quite solid. Even if the black chess piece breaks the middle part, it is actually within an acceptable range.

But once the battle wave in the lower right corner rushed down, Fang Yuan would suffer heavy losses. So Fang Yuan had to respond to this robbery.

Fang Yuan naturally knew this and followed suit obediently.

After Zhan Lang raised the calamity, Fang Yuan immediately flew to the middle above and stabbed.

You want to rush, and I want to rush too!

If you don't respond, I will use this black stick to rush directly between your two white pieces, and make your two jumping white pieces die directly and go to heaven.

Moreover, the shape of the black chess pieces above will expand rapidly, which is something Zhan Lang cannot accept.

After Zhan Lang responded, he went to the star position in the upper right corner to look for materials for the robbery.

Seeing this move, Fang Yuan couldn't help but frown, because there was no way to respond to this move, otherwise the materials of disaster in this area would become more and more, and the affected area would become larger and larger.

Thinking about the subsequent impacts and possibilities, Fang Yuan thought about it for a moment and felt that he might not be able to control it, so he chose to eliminate the disaster first.

After all, we have just started, there is really no need to take such a big risk.

Young people are irrational, and as a senior, I cannot follow their impulsive behavior.

Going all in at the beginning is pure gambling behavior and is not advisable.

As an old cadre who has been tested in the battlefield for a long time, I must maintain strategic determination, carefully study the situation, make adequate preparations, and be prepared for a protracted war.

Seeing Fang Yuan eliminate the calamity, Chen Long was slightly relieved. He had known that these two guys were not the kind of people who would just sit there and do nothing, but he had not expected that they would start fighting right after just twenty moves.

In this way, a certain transformation has been achieved between the two parties.

Fang Yuan broke the white chess pieces on the left side into pieces, while Zhan Lang leaned against and stretched out in the upper right corner, causing heavy losses to the entire upper right corner of the black chess pieces.

All we can say is that both sides gained a little advantage and suffered a little loss, and finally a balance was reached.

Move 54, White, hang!

Seeing Zhan Lang trying to test the situation from above, Fang Yuan didn't have any ideas and simply jumped to defend his own ground.

"So you really focus more on the practical aspects?"

Zhan Lang looked at Fang Yuan's choice and touched his chin. In this era, except for that weirdo from Japan, other chess players naturally focused on the field during the game.

Although it has not developed to the extreme level of trench flow, most people will still choose cash between the actual situation and external forces.

As humans, we will still choose things that we can hold with one hand.

After Zhan Lang figured out the tone of Fang Yuan's game, he decisively chose to take action.

Move 56, White chess piece, break in!
Since you want cash, I will just rush into your house and pocket all the cash in your house!

When Fang Yuan saw Zhan Lang rushing directly to his house to rob money, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

You're going too far, aren't you?! He just broke in!

If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I'm weak?!
First the sharp one! Then the kill!
