The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Chapter 158 Wang Wenlong sets the pace for the Warring States Period
Xu Xinggong's chess style was also extremely fierce, and his level was much higher than that of the academic official just now. He soon entered into a stranglehold with Guo Bailing.

Everyone was watching with excitement, as if Xu Xinggong really had a chance to win, but Wang Wenlong took a second look and was already mourning for Xu Xinggong in his heart.

If Xu Xinggong had followed Bai Ling to lay the floor honestly, he might have been able to last longer, but this guy was tough, and Wang Wenlong knew that he would soon see the strength of the Ming Dynasty players.

Sure enough, although Xu Xinggong's chess ability was higher than that of the Taoist official just now, this time he was directly killed by Guo Bailing before the middle game. He had almost no advantage in the whole game. There is a huge difference in computing power between the two, and Xu Xinggong is no match for those who are over [-] years old.

Xu Xinggong couldn't stand it at all, so he surrendered again.

Only by playing chess with a master can you see the level of a hundred years old. Everyone present except Wang Wenlong was dumbfounded. The level of the Taoist official just now was not high, but Xu Xinggong's chess ability was already a master, but he lost even more miserably. Only then did everyone realize how powerful the over-[-]-year-old was.

The character who originally had some thoughts of confronting Guo Bailing also stopped talking at this time.

Xu Xueju's face suddenly looked unhappy:
Just now he raised his hand to compete with Guo Bailing. Although he was beaten by Xu Xinggong, many people saw the situation. Xu Xueju would definitely be laughed at if he backed down at this time.

Seeing Master Fantai being held on the fire, Wang Wenlong quickly said loudly: "Master Xu wanted to suggest that I play chess with my little friend before. If no one is in front, why don't I ask your little friend for advice?"

Xu Xueju was the highest-ranking official present. It was a bit embarrassing to lose to a child. In his heart, he greatly praised Wang Wenlong for rescuing him in danger.

He quickly got off the donkey along the slope and smiled at Wang Wenlong: "Haha, don't force Jianyang."

"Try your best." Wang Wenlong nodded and said.

Wang Wenlong stepped forward to greet him and the two of them sat down. It didn't matter to him that he was over [-] years old. He was very confident in his chess skills and didn't think he would meet any opponent in Fujian.

Guo Bailing said: "Sir, please hold the black piece."

Wang Wenlong curiously looked at the child in front of him who would definitely become a great national player in the future. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Different from the later generations of Go where black goes first and white goes first, in Go at this time, white goes first and black comes last. Because white is better than white, the person with higher status often plays the black piece. At the same time, the person with the higher status will let the person holding the white piece play first.

Guo Bailing and Wang Wenlong each played at the star position.

At this time, Go uses the seat system: it stipulates that both sides must first place four chess pieces on the board in the opening two hands, two white and two black, and they must be placed on the diagonal star position. This is to limit the first mover advantage.

The two played chess slowly, and Wang Wenlong played his own game. At first, he didn't notice any problems, but soon he said "Huh".

Seeing his surprised look, Wang Wenlong wanted to laugh in his heart, thinking that Bai Ling was just a child after all. Although he was older than his peers, he still couldn't hold back his shocked look when faced with an unprecedented situation.

Of course Wang Wenlong's computing power cannot compare with Guo Bailing, but he also has a way to deal with Guo Bailing - setting the position.

The set position is the best routine accumulated by past chess players. It is just like the endgame of chess. There are only a few cracking methods. Seniors have helped calculate them countless times. No matter how powerful the opponent's calculation power is, they cannot escape. Unruly.

This is also the reason why the level of Go will continue to strengthen with the development of the times, because as the times progress, more and more stereotypes will be discovered and proven.

Therefore, in the eyes of true chess players, even Huang Longshi, Xu Xingyou, and the over-[-]-year-old players who are the highest level players in ancient Chinese Go cannot beat the professional masters of later generations, because the masters of later generations have mastered the more advanced methods of Go development and research in the following hundreds of years. tool.

Letting ancient chess players and modern Go masters play chess is like letting ancient great mathematicians and modern mathematics professors compete to solve math problems. Zu Chongzhi is probably smarter than the latter, but no matter how smart he is, he can't make up for hundreds of years of technological accumulation. the gap brought about.

In the later AI era, AI overthrew many old stereotypes and created many new ones. It helped train chess thinking and allowed chess players all over the world to play chess together. Before and after the AI ​​era, we were also world-class chess players. National players after the AI ​​era can even beat previous national players by more than three eyes.

At this time in the 28th year of Wanli, the national players did not even have a clear thinking. Wang Wenlong already had an overall concept and memorized a lot of stereotypes. In fact, in later generations of chess software, the more masters were, the more they liked to simplify the layout. On the contrary, Wang Wenlong, a three-in-one and four-industry boss, used some biased stereotypes to bully others. It can really cause trouble to people who have never seen it.

Ancient Chinese Go began to conduct in-depth research on set patterns only after they were over a hundred years old.

The "Three Son Scores" and "Four Son Scores" left by Guo Bailing himself are the earliest complete collection of star positions in ancient Chinese Go.

After decades of development based on his research, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the earliest overall awareness was developed. After that, ancient Chinese Go reached another level.

A hundred years later, the level of Xu Huang's ten games played by Huang Longshi and Xu Xingyou was directly a level higher than the most exciting Lin Guo's ten games during the Wanli period.

It can be said that if Xu Xingyou or Huang Longshi were to fight over [-] years old, there would be almost no chance of winning if they were over [-] years old.

The formula "Inverted Hanging Lotus" formulated by Wang Wenlong at this time was summarized by Guo Bailing in his "Three Sons" more than ten years later.

Wang Wenlong used what he had learned as an adult and over [-] years old to play against the budding children, instantly disrupting the [-]-year-old chess game.

Everyone present came to watch the two men watch the battle.

At first, no one had any hope for Wang Wenlong, but then everyone became surprised.

Everyone could clearly see Guo Bailing's strangulation of Wang Wenlong. It was a fast and furious battle move, with every move calculated. No matter who he put in Wang Wenlong's position, he would probably lose miserably to Guo Bailing.

Wang Wenlong's Go level is not very high, but he is self-aware.

Knowing that he couldn't count on the opponent, he concentrated on laying the floor with the children. The laying was very ugly, but he didn't suffer much loss despite being strict and defensive.

As halftime approached, everyone couldn't help but talk.

Some out-of-town chess players who came into the room to watch the game quietly asked, "Who is this gentleman?"

The officials and gentry in Fuzhou replied: "This is the famous Wang Jianyang."

"It turns out to be Mr. Jingguan, no wonder he is so powerful."

"Mr. Jingguan is indeed proficient in all kinds of knowledge."

"This little friend is so powerful in his killing spree, but he still can't break through Mr. Jingguan's trap."

Amid everyone's discussion, the chess game finally reached the middle of the game, but at this time the gap between the two finally became apparent.

Wang Wenlong was able to hold on for a while with the help of his momentum at first, but after Bai Ling adapted and began to adjust his strength, Wang Wenlong immediately fell into a disadvantage.

The efficiency of Wang Wenlong's chess pieces is far less than that of Guo Bailing, and his ability to understand and judge chess patterns is far worse than that of Guo Bailing.

By the middle of the game, the advantage Wang Wenlong had established in the early stages was irretrievably lost.
