Chapter 137 Teaching the Way of Go



Li Zhengguo observed from the shadows and found that after his guidance, Wang Bin's chess skills had improved significantly. The time it took him to place a piece had also increased from a few dozen seconds to five minutes.

It takes five minutes to make a move, which would probably be unbearable for many people, but Li Zhengguo patiently waited for Wang Bin and did not urge him.

After the two exchanged more than ten blows, Li Zhengguo spoke again.

"Your chess skills are much better than before, but your thinking isn't comprehensive enough. Think about the key points of Tai Chi before you continue playing."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Bin closed his eyes and thought for half an hour before opening them and picking up the chess pieces to play.

Li Zhengguo discovered that Wang Bin had a very high level of comprehension. Wang Bin could understand everything he said in just a few words. After just a few moves, Wang Bin seemed to have become much stronger. Li Zhengguo was very happy.

The two then played for another twenty moves. In fact, given Li Zhengguo's chess skills, the game could have been decided much earlier, but he didn't. He always gave Wang Bin a sense of pressure without immediately trapping him.

"Xiao Bin, your move wasn't very good! You had three good spots to play this time. This spot is the most effective for counter-attacks, this spot is the most effective for defense, and this spot is suitable for both offense and defense."

"It's like practicing Tai Chi. If your opponent is too weak, you can choose to attack directly, which means placing your piece here. If your opponent is too strong, you have to devote most of your energy to defense and save some for offense. Although you can still lose this way, you won't lose too badly. Moreover, training like this for a long time can quickly improve your strength!"

"Finally, this is a good spot, as it's suitable for both offense and defense."

"Of course, playing Go is like practicing Tai Chi, with its interplay of Yin and Yang. You need to learn to master the principles of Yin and Yang. On the Go board, this means learning to switch between offense and defense at will, while simultaneously maintaining a balance between offense and defense!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand now!"

"Okay, let's play another round!"

Next, Wang Bin played another game with Li Zhengguo, and this time Wang Bin's skill level was significantly higher than in the previous game.

Li Zhengguo was somewhat surprised by Wang Bin's rapid progress. Even though he was still no match for Li Ruman, he believed that with some training, he would be able to defeat Li Ruman.
