Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 399 Mixed Doubles is Like Marriage

"Wenxiao's move was indeed good, although there were some problems. For example, although her thinking was the same as mine, her move here was completely wrong, which gave you an opportunity instead."

Unfortunately, not only did you fail to notice, you also made an even worse move, completely turning the game into a losing proposition.

Yi Zheng casually pointed to a spot on the chessboard. When Yi Zheng first saw Wen Xiao's move during the game, he was almost scared to death because once the opponent changed his position, the advantage instantly turned into a situation where they couldn't even make up any points.

But what I didn't expect was...

A bad move can lead to an even worse move; Wenxiao's Eagle move drew out his opponent's Bian move.

There has been a debate about whether Ying's move was worse or Bian's move was worse.

Answer: Da Bian usually has a 98-99% win rate and can easily give away a dragon. Zhan Ying probably can't accumulate such a high win rate, so Da Bian is still worse.

Hearing this, Jiang Mobai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see much at the time. It's a miracle. How could anyone think of transforming a place like this?"

And shouldn't you just shake your head, sigh, and put pressure on yourself at this point?! If you act like that, I'll definitely think about it more and maybe I can figure it out.

"When I played with Yunzi and the others before, whenever they made a mistake, you'd look like you were wearing a pained mask, and I could immediately analyze whether their move was flawed based on that."

Jiang Mobai clapped his hands, looking indignant with an air of "it should be this way": "Why don't you use such a good 'stress meter'? What are you pretending to be so profound and playing the 'unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before you' game? When did you become a poker face!"

Can that be the same?

Yi Zheng's answer was quite serious: "That's why I can't show my expression, but it's really troublesome. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw this step."

Facial expression management is still very important. I don't need to manage my facial expressions when playing chess with you guys, but I have to do it in mixed doubles.

It's easier said than done. Sometimes you're unwilling to blame yourself for your own failures, but if someone else causes your failure, you immediately get angry.

"Feel sorry."

Wen Xiao, who was listening to him speak, said something to Yi Zheng from the side, but she really didn't realize that this step would cause a problem. She thought it was a delaying tactic.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng offered a comforting remark in an extremely gentle tone: "It's alright. You're already much better than the others. You're better than some people who insist on playing even though they can't play well."

"You fart!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mobai instantly lost his temper, rolled his eyes, and gave Yi Zheng's words a complete rejection!
He admitted that Yi Zheng might be slightly better than him now, but in terms of handling local situations and guiding the direction, Yi Zheng's approach might not be as correct as his.

I was turning the game around to a ko fight! Do you even understand? You missed such a golden opportunity to seal the victory!

Watching the group of people arguing, Old Ke shook his head. In two-person or multi-person competitions, teamwork is very important, especially when the two people have similar thinking styles.

Mr. Ke recalled that when he played against AlphaGo, there was a multiplayer exhibition match where five Chinese world champions discussed how to defeat AlphaGo.

Mr. Ke wanted to participate, but they directly refused and kicked him out. They wouldn't even let him help pass on the game records, because they all believed that Mr. Ke would secretly change the agreed-upon result to one he thought was better. However, the game played by the five world champions working together was ultimately worse than the game played by any one of the five individuals individually, leaving behind the famous photo of five black players playing against a dog.

One of the main reasons why the game was so bad is that the five people have completely different styles. There are different styles: the "Gutter Style," the "Muddy Style," the "Dragon Slayer Style," the "Extreme Style," and the "Balanced Style." The results and ideas discussed at each step were completely different, and in the end, the result they came up with was unsatisfactory to everyone.

Even the thought process at each step is disjointed; it would be better to let one person handle it alone.

Therefore, if you want to find multiple people to play together, it's best if the players have similar styles, like to engage in combat, or like to play strategy games. At least this way, their strategies will be more compatible.

In multiplayer competitions, constant adjustment is necessary, much like marriage. You need two people whose personalities are compatible to make it work; otherwise, forcing them together will only make things worse.

After confirming that Wenxiao and Yizheng got along well, Old Ma didn't bother looking for anyone else and directly assigned them to one of the groups.

As for whether they can actually compete later, it depends on the results of the mixed doubles internal training to see which mixed doubles pair is stronger.

"Why don't we have someone else provide the equipment? Maybe there are others who can better complement Yi Zheng."

Jin Wan took a bite of sugarcane and looked at the lively discussion in the training room. He felt that he could try other people. It would be good to try a few more times.

"It would be good if there was even one person who could work well with him. Yi Zheng is really not suitable for multi-person projects; his style is too unique."

If we're really talking about multiple people, then the AlphaGo player on the internet might be the most suitable to team up with him.

Wen Xiao has already done a great job; Yun Linglei and the others can't even coordinate, and Yi Zheng can't be compatible with those below him.

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but shake his head; just thinking about AlphaGo gave him a headache.

He only appeared online, and when he did, his address seemed to be affected by some strange interference, making it impossible to find his online address.

Jin Wan looked at Ma Zhaoxu, who was shaking his head and sighing beside him, and directly exposed his little scheme: "I think you old man have ulterior motives and want to ship this couple."

"Where did you learn such strange words?"

Although Ma Zhaoxu didn't know what CP meant, he could roughly understand: "This is called keeping the good stuff in the family. The Asian Games training camp is coming up soon, and all the events will be held together. Who knows how many female athletes will have their eyes on Yi Zheng?"

"Forget about people outside the chess circle, I've had countless calls lately asking me to set them up on blind dates. It's ridiculous."

Many athletes start training from a young age; you could say they're precocious or they're late bloomers.

Precociousness stems from having financial means early on, leading many to engage in early romantic relationships, including numerous cases of relationships between older women and younger men.

They mature late because they only study a single subject from a young age, so their worldview may mature later than others.
