Chapter 407: No move is better than a move
Hands talking indoors.
Although the game was over, Su Yiming and Yu Shao were still sitting there, looking at the intricate black and white pieces on the chessboard in front of them.
There were still tiny beads of sweat on Yu Shao's forehead and temples. He stared at the chessboard silently. Although he won, there was no joy on his face.
Although Tulong won in the middle game, it was not an easy battle.
It can even be said that this was the most difficult chess game he had played in this life so far, even though he had the advantage throughout the game and finally captured the white dragon.
Although he lost the previous game with Jiang Changdong, Yu Shao never felt it was difficult because the whole loss was caused by a misjudgment, and it was his fault.
And he did not make any mistakes in this game.
Every move he made was extremely meticulous and well thought out, and he made what he thought was the best move.
It had been a long time since he had played a game of chess so seriously.
The last time I was so serious was in my previous life.
But even so, every move of Su Yiming still put a lot of pressure on him. Every move that was so imaginative and full of fairy spirit made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
For a long time, Yu Shao actually had a sense of pride in his heart, because he was a chess player who had experienced the AI era, and even in the AI era, he stood at the top of the Go world!
After all, there is a gap called "era" between him and the chess players in this world. This gap is like a chasm and is difficult to cross!
He naturally feels superior to the chess players in this world.
but.
The ancient times may not be worse than today!
In terms of vision and cognition, there is indeed a gap between chess players who have not experienced the AI era and those who have experienced the AI era.
However, in terms of mid-game attack, capture of opportunities, and chess sense on a blurry board, previous chess players were not necessarily weaker than those who have experienced the AI era!
There are some amazing moves that will impress even chess players in the AI era!
Yu Shao believed that even if this game of chess was played in his previous life, the countless brilliant moves made by Su Yiming in this game would probably have deeply shocked countless chess players in his previous life, and they might even feel ashamed of themselves!
In the end, in this game of chess, in a shocking killing game with as many as 300 moves, black and white fought with blood and tears every step, killing all over the chessboard to decide the winner...
Even though he lost, each of Su Yiming's moves still sparkled with amazing brilliance, and every miraculous move he made on the complex board was moving.
This is a move that many top chess players in the previous AI era might not be able to make.
"Although he has learned a lot of AI Go ideas, he has not yet fully comprehended them. In other words, he has not yet fully matured, but he has already played such a game."
"If one day, he fully comprehends AI Go..."
Yu Shao finally withdrew his gaze from the chessboard, raised his head and looked at Su Yiming opposite him.
"How will he grow?"
On the other side, Su Yiming looked at the chessboard with a somewhat dim look in his eyes.
Still lost.
Ever since he played against Yu Shao in the last China-Japan-Korea team competition, he has been constantly honing his chess skills, waiting for the next match against Yu Shao.
He was ready for this confrontation.
He even thought at one point that there was not much gap between him and Yu Shao.
but……
After playing this game of chess, the gap between the two was clear at a glance!
The thickness was reversed, but he was completely unaware of it and failed to realize that the white chess pieces were in a dead end. He even thought that the white chess pieces had the advantage at one point!
Although he got the answer he wanted and witnessed a higher level of chess skills, after the joy, he was a little confused at the moment...
Yes, confused.
Even a sense of powerlessness.
He tried his best and finally climbed to the sky. He thought he had reached the highest point, but when he looked up, he only saw the vast universe and he was just a drop in the ocean.
Facing the boundless universe and galaxies, even he felt a little powerless...
This is no longer a famous game. A famous game is one in which both players have brilliant moves, and finally it becomes a famous game. There are many famous games, but this subversion and understanding of thickness and thinness can only be called unprecedented!
"In this game of chess, where do you think the key point that determines the outcome is... where?"
Just as Su Yiming was staring at the chess board in front of him in a daze, Yu Shao's voice suddenly rang out.
Su Yiming was slightly startled, then calmed down, pointed at the chessboard, and said, "It's about thickness. I was too confident in my taste, and I didn't realize that your thinness has more potential than my taste."
Su Yiming moved the chess pieces and said, "If I had noticed this in advance and surrounded the empty space with a strong force, then the situation might have been much better."
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
In the silent chess talk room, Su Yiming kept moving the chess pieces, and the chess pieces landed on the chessboard, making crisp sounds.
Yu Shao looked at the changes that Su Yiming made on the chessboard. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Indeed, it would be much better if we surrounded the empty space, but... thickness is not the key to winning or losing this game."
Hearing this, Su Yiming's right hand, which was moving the chess piece, stopped instantly.
"……no?"
Su Yiming raised his head, looked at Yu Shao opposite him in some surprise, and spoke.
"Yes."
Yu Shao nodded and said, "It seems that the winner was determined by the midfielder's misjudgment of thickness. In fact, this is only part of the reason. The fundamental reason that determines the winner is not this."
Su Yiming's head was buzzing and he stared at Yu Shao blankly.
Yu Shao stared at Su Yiming closely, took a deep breath, and spoke again: “You are too obsessed with the middle abdomen.”
"Although the best chess piece is in the belly, many chess players think that the value of the middle belly is not great enough. After all, there is a saying about the grass belly. However, you and I should have the same judgment on the value of the middle belly—"
"The value of the middle abdomen is very, very great!"
Su Yiming didn't say anything.
Indeed, although there is a saying that there are golden horns, silver edges and grass belly, he attaches great importance to the value of the middle belly. Sometimes, he even values the middle belly more than the corners!
Because of this, his moves tend to be in the right direction, with pieces placed at high positions, and he has also played triple stars more than once!
"Although the value of the midsection is very high and it is not just a simple grass belly, your intention to enlarge the appearance is too obvious, or too violent."
Yu Shao paused, and continued, "I had clearly already built a pattern in the middle, but in order to gain control of the central sky, you ended up giving up a big piece and violently surrounded it."
Su Yiming remained silent and listened quietly to Yu Shao's words.
Indeed, he had never concealed his intention to encircle the enemy from the very beginning, but in the end he succeeded. Although he did it by force, from the perspective of the board, the two sides should have been evenly matched at that time!
Well, since the value of the middle part is not bad and he is not at a disadvantage because of forcing the area, how can the key to winning or losing be to be too obsessed with the middle part?
"Have you ever thought about—"
Yu Shao stared at Su Yiming and spoke again: "Not pursuing a big appearance, but unconsciously creating a big appearance?"
These words were like a wake-up call to Su Yiming. He was stunned for a moment, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in place!
Not pursuing a big look?
Unknowingly, a big shape has been formed?
At this moment, a brand new door seemed to slowly open in front of Su Yiming!
"I'm not good at this method, but I know that I can do it this way."
Yu Shao's eyes flashed with the AI's self-game games from his previous life, and he said, "Each move has nothing to do with the big picture. The pieces are still placed at low positions. It's not a hidden encirclement. There is really no intention of encircling the picture at all—"
"Finally, when I looked back, I realized that I had formed an extremely magnificent circle without realizing it!"
"This, perhaps can be said to be no move is better than a move."
After hearing these words, Su Yiming became a little dazed and listened to Yu Shao's words in a trance.
Yu Shao took a deep breath and continued, "Your way of playing is to treat the big shape as a potential solid ground and use your strength to pressure your opponent."
"But I think the risks of forcing a niche often outweigh the benefits. Even if you have a niche, it's better to give up expanding it and move elsewhere."
"That is, let the opponent fade away and seize the overall situation!"
Yu Shao cast his eyes towards the chessboard in front of him, and after a moment, he spoke again: "In the past, everyone believed that a thick position should not be surrounded, because a thick position has already formed a potential solid ground."
Yu Shao paused and spoke again: "But——"
"The real value of Hou Shi lies not in these potential fields, but in attacking!"
"Sometimes, you even have to deliberately leave the appearance incomplete to lure your opponent into launching a entanglement attack!"
"The potential of thirty points does not mean that you have to make thirty points of space, but use the appearance to force the opponent to make a move at a low position, in exchange for the first move elsewhere to gain a profit!"
"The traditional big pattern is progressive, but perhaps the big pattern can also be fluid, maybe expanding halfway up and suddenly turning to the bottom to start the robbery!"
"In other words, it's not that you don't want to be aggressive, but you have to be prepared to turn around at any time."
"It's not about how many I want to surround, but about making sure the other side can't surround me!"
"I think... this is the real way to play!"
After Yu Shao finished speaking, the entire chat room suddenly fell silent.
On the side, two referees and the music recorder looked at Yu Shao in astonishment. Because of the strong shock, his brain even stopped thinking for a moment!
Every word that Yu Shao said was subversive, every word could be said to be outrageous, and every word challenged the foundation of traditional Go!
Their first reaction was to find it ridiculous, but when they thought deeply about what Yu Shao said, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on their foreheads.
If other chess players said this, they would just think he was crazy, but Yu Shao has now won the title and even accomplished countless unprecedented feats!
So, after hearing what Yu Shao said, they just felt their scalps tingling, and their first reaction was that it was absurd, but they did not subconsciously refute it!
Ancient and modern!
New and old!
Tradition and innovation!
“Perhaps, the way to play Go really needs to change completely!”
The referee sitting on the left couldn't calm down at all, and sweat kept dripping down his cheeks!
"It's not just about thickness, order, terrain, speed! Now even the word 'appearance' has to be redefined!"
He didn't know what kind of waves Yu Shao's words in the chess talk room would cause once they were spread out, but he knew that if these words were spread out, it would definitely shake the chess world!
Although no one knows whether Yu Shao’s words are correct, since it was Yu Shao who said these words, everyone will think about this question!
"but……"
The referee shifted his gaze and looked at Yu Shao with some fear.
"Even if what Yu Shao said is correct, why did he tell Su Yiming?"
"They still have a game of chess!"
"They...are opponents who want to kill each other!"
There was a long silence in the chat room.
"Thanks."
Finally, Su Yiming's voice broke the long silence.
Su Yiming stared at Yu Shao quietly. The confusion and powerlessness he had felt before because of losing the game had now disappeared.
"I... benefited a lot."
Su Yiming turned his gaze away from Yu Shao, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and said sincerely.
"You're welcome."
Yu Shao shook his head and said, "What I said is just my personal opinion. It's up to you to judge."
After saying that, Yu Shao slowly stood up, stared at Su Yiming opposite him, and said, "I'm looking forward to our second battle!"
Su Yiming also stood up, looked at Yu Shao, his eyes seemed to be flashing with fire, and replied: "I'm waiting too!"
Hearing this, Yu Shao finally turned around and left the chat room.
Su Yiming did not leave, but sat back in his chair and looked at the chess game in front of him.
A chessboard seemed to appear before his eyes again, and based on the layout of this chessboard, he kept placing chess pieces one after another.
Yu Shao’s words before seemed to still echo in my ears.
"No move is better than a move!"
"The real value of Hou Shi lies not in these potential fields, but in attacking!"
“The traditional big pattern is progressive, but the big pattern can also be fluid!”
"It's not that we don't want to be aggressive, but we have to be prepared to turn around at any time."
"It's not about how many I want to surround, but about making sure the other side can't surround me!"
Every word brought unprecedented shock to Su Yiming's heart!
The door leading to the Go palace seemed to be suddenly violently blasted open in front of him!
Although he did not step into the hall, he stood at the threshold and looked into the hall. However, he only saw the following:
Empty!
Su Yiming looked at the chessboard, his eyes shining brighter.
He slowly reached into the chess box and took out the chess piece.
The next moment, the chess piece fell!
"In return..."
"I will not let you down in the next game of chess!"
clatter!
Twelve columns and fourteen rows, clip!
The sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard is crisp and pleasant, like the collision of metal and stone. Although subtle, it is extremely shocking!
