I remember that before the Go AI was born, Li Xiangping once heard an unknown professional chess player say: In fact, so far, human beings' understanding of the center of the chessboard is still weak.

Li Xiangping deeply believed in this.

Especially after seeing the Go AI wreaking havoc on mankind, I believe that not only Li Xiangping, but more people should have a deeper impression of this.

So why does the center of the chessboard become a difficult point in Go? For example, in today's game, a person of Li Xiangping's level is at a loss as to where to choose the center of the board. Even human chess players like Mr. Takemiya Masaki

China is recognized as a master of midsection, and even he couldn't explain why for a while.

This is of course because it is usually difficult for human chess players to find the correct direction of thinking when selecting midfield points.

Of course, the selection of midsection points requires specific calculations. However, in many cases, the problem of midsection selection seems to be not only a matter of specific calculations, but also requires your judgment ability to cooperate.

So in this, is calculation or judgment the main thing? In other words, what proportion should both of them account for? Of course no one can figure out this question. Li Xiangping even believes that even in Go,

AI may be more accurate than humans, but it may not yet fully understand it.

It is for this reason that the problem of selecting a point in the center of the chessboard has always been a very difficult Go technique and is one of the most difficult "virtual path calculation" problems.

It is also for this reason that in the history of the development of human Go, if there is a player who can play this kind of midfielder, he will always be highly praised.

For example, the "Ear-Red Move" used by Japanese show players back then. Since the birth of Go, it can be said that even in the human category, there have been countless excellent moves. However, in terms of popularity and the degree to which everyone respects the expert move, the "Ear-Red Move"

It seems that no matter how you rank the "Red Hands", they can be ranked among the top three among human beings.

Why is this happening? Li Xiangping believes that in addition to the legendary story attached to this master move, there is another most important reason: that is the master of selecting points in the abdomen in one move!

This type of skillful move is unclear. No one knows why senior Xiuce suddenly played there. Even many years after this move appeared, countless chess players tried to interpret this move in detail, and in the process of interpretation

The chess players also include top players such as Wu Qingyuan and Kitani Minoru.

However, no one has ever explained it clearly, at least Li Xiangping has never seen it. Any interpretation can truly convince people.

However, it happens to be a master, the kind of master who in the true sense "comes by chance", the kind of master who is convinced by everyone, the kind of master who finds it pleasing to the eye and even moves people after seeing it.

And just now, when Li Xiangping made the move according to Lao Shi's instructions, he first felt that it was a wonderful move, a move similar to the "wonderful move with red ears".

Yes, although at the first time, Li Xiangping actually didn't understand the meaning of this move at all, because this move was completely beyond his expectation. When he was thinking about choosing a point just now, he didn't think about it at all.

He thought, but Go is so wonderful. When he saw the chess piece that he personally landed on the chessboard, he felt that this move was pleasing to the eye and even moved him a little, so he intuitively believed that it was a wonderful move.

.

Of course, Li Xiangping is also a professional chess player now, and he is a professional chess player whose level is not low and hopes to continue to improve. So his next reaction is of course to try to interpret this move so that he can understand it better.

What does it mean to play this move with a plug-in?

While Li Xiangping was trying to interpret this chess move, of course everyone in the viewing room was also interpreting this chess move. The interpretation in the viewing room was still led by Takemiya Masaki, and Mr. Takemiya read the chess record for three minutes.

After that, he still had a dazed look on his face, repeating one sentence over and over again:

"This... looks like a good move. This should be a good move! But, but... can Go be played like this?"

Seeing his appearance, Hero Dazhu was dissatisfied. He took the chess record from Wu Gong and read it for himself. Not only Dazhu, the situation here also attracted Mr. Lin Haifeng and others. So in the next moment, Japanese chess

The altar's "bamboo forest" was simultaneously interpreting the chess move Lao Shi had just played.

A few minutes later, Mr. Dazhu Yingxiong sighed:

"What a great chess move. It's really a move full of extraordinary imagination. As soon as this move was played, it seemed that the difficult situation of white's chess was solved immediately."

Mr. Lin Haifeng was not staring at this side all the time, so his reaction was a little slower. After spending a few minutes to go through the previous process, Mr. Lin did not hesitate to praise:

"Yes, it is indeed an extraordinary move. This Chinese young man is truly a genius that only happens once in a century. I think this move should be comparable to the master Xiuce's "Red Ear Skill", right?"

What’s very interesting is that although Mr. Dazhu Yingxiong also agreed that this was a good move, he didn’t seem to agree with Mr. Lin’s statement. He glanced at Mr. Lin and said:

"Oh? Does Mr. Lin think this is like the "Miracle Hand with Red Ears"? I have a different view."

"Huh? What Mr. Dazhu means is..."

Hero Dazhu sighed: "Seeing this move, I remembered what my senior Zhanghe once said. The chess master Zhanghe once said: Don't attack, don't kill, don't live, don't besiege. This is the highest state of Go.

, Mr. Lin, look at this chess move, does it already have some charm?"

This evaluation is of course higher, even higher than the evaluation of "The Magic Hand with Red Ears". Mr. Lin smiled after hearing this: "Haha, it's not bad, it doesn't attack, it doesn't kill, it doesn't live, it doesn't go. This chess move is really good."

It’s a great move to achieve these four points at the same time! Even if you only see this move today, it’s already worth the trip.”

Putting aside the commercial exchanges between the two seniors, by this time, Li Xiangping in the game room had almost understood the move, and after understanding it, Li Xiangping also felt a very mysterious feeling.

He felt that after understanding this chess move, he seemed to have improved his level.

So where did Lao Shi play this move? Why do so many chess players marvel at this move after understanding it? To explain this problem, we still need to reorganize the previous situation.

When the game reached about 70 moves, due to Mr. Zhao Zhixun's series of simple and fierce moves, White faced a very real problem, that is, at this point in the game, White didn't even have a decent piece.

Basic skills, so before Shi Daqisheng's move, everyone thought that the white chess piece needed to "siege". At least maintain the balance on the ground first, otherwise, if it goes to the back, there may not even be a chance to "siege", because as the

As the number of chess pieces on the chessboard increases, simply encircling the land will only become smaller and smaller.

And because before this move, Black has already worked on all the pieces on his board. It cannot be said that the overall situation is solid, but at least everything is stable. So in this situation, the master knows that Black wants to "encircle".

If you are good at encircling, this method of using thick power simply to enclose the empty space is not only inefficient, but also violates the rules of chess.

"Thick power does not surround the empty space." However, in the current situation, it seems that White can only surround the empty space. This was the dilemma of White's previous chess, and it was also the reason why everyone thought that White chess was difficult to play, because at that time, even Mr. Masaki Rentakemiya

Such a master did not help White find any very suitable way to play.

It's just that Mr. Wugong didn't find it, but Chess Master Shi seemed to have found it. His move just now seemed to have successfully solved this difficulty.

It must be mentioned in particular that Lao Shi's move just now was still in the midfield area, rather than moving to other places on the chessboard. Otherwise, it would not be called solving the problem, but creating a diversion of clues.

contradiction.

So now comes the question. Since we are also playing chess in the midsection area, and there are so many masters in the research room, why can't everyone find Lao Shi's selection point? Is it possible that Lao Shi's midsection feels better than the dignified "cosmic flow" Mr. Takenomiya?

Still more awesome?

Li Xiangping doesn't know if Mr. Shi Daqi is so awesome, but what Li Xiangping knows is that Shi Daqi Sheng's midriff must be much more awesome than his current self.

After understanding the meaning of Lao Shi's move, Li Xiangping understood why he couldn't think of this choice:

Because Shi Daqi Sheng's move was not based on the word "wei" at all!

Yes, when everyone thought that everyone should "besiege", Lao Shi chose not to "besiege". This is where the purpose of this chess move is higher.

Of course, just "not sieging" is nothing, and it doesn't seem to show any brilliance. The real brilliance of Lao Shi's move lies in:

This move looks like "not going", but it still looks like "going". After adding this move to the chessboard, White's chess still looks like it is leaking everywhere. Black's chess seems to have many ways to penetrate it.

This look.

However, if you calculate carefully, you will find that after White has this extra move, Black does not seem to be so easy to act rashly, because White's chess piece has already set up a fighting posture-----

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Lao Shi's move was that when others thought he should build a fence, he did not build a fence. Instead, he held a stick in his hand, waiting for others to rush into his room at any time.

, he will close the door and beat the dog again.

Lao Shi's method of thinking is undoubtedly a very profound method of thinking.

And such an idea is precisely the idea of ​​"no attacking, no killing, no living, no encirclement" put forward by the Japanese chess master Zhang Wa.

At that time, Zhang He believed that this kind of thinking was the "highest realm" of Go, and he spent his entire life pursuing this realm.

To be honest, Li Xiangping has no idea whether this is the highest level of Go.
