After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 106 105. The First Person to Eat Crabs

"Lin Hongshu."

Zhan Lang silently glanced at Lin Hongshu who was sitting opposite him. Judging from his surname and the fact that he was a Go player, it was obvious that he was from the same family as the girl named Lin he had met before.

It is said that the four great Japanese Go masters have fallen, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, there is still a ninth-dan master to hold up the reputation.

However, if the situation continues to develop in this way, and there is no successor between the two schools, it is estimated that in a few years they will be completely gone and become history in the history of Go.

It is even possible that their descendants would stop playing Go and work as gigolos. After all, there were indeed Japanese professional Go players who worked as gigolos.

Zhan Lang has also read Lin Hongshu's information. He is thirty years old this year. If it were a few decades later, this age would be considered a sunset player among professional players. He is ready at any time, or even has already retired.

But in this era, it is also the prime time for professional players.

In this era, there are many Japanese 9th-dan chess players in their forties who are still considered to be at the peak of their abilities.

The reason for this is not only the difference in game length, but also the huge difference in competitive intensity between the two eras.

Compared with now, the situation a few decades later can no longer be described as flexible. If you slack off for a month or two, you may be left behind by the times.

"Fujii Hideaki 9th Dan has been praising you in various media, and I felt that some of his words were a bit exaggerated.

But after seeing your performance in the exchange competition this time, I felt that Fujii Hideaki seemed to be telling the truth, and even his evaluation of you was relatively low.

If there is a better environment, I think you will improve faster. "

Looking at Zhan Lang who was sitting opposite him, Lin Hongshu smiled and said, "You are not a professional player yet, right? But I heard that China will soon grant professional titles, and the Kansai Ki Institute will recognize China's professional ranks.

After becoming a professional, are you interested in competing in Japan? After mutual recognition of your rank, you can directly transfer to Japan and become a guest player of the Kansai Ki-in.

After all, compared to the scarcity of professional competitions in China, Japan has a lot of professional competitions. The seven major title competitions alone have a long history, and other competitions are countless.

There are also competitions such as rookie battles suitable for young chess players.

Not only will you have a lot of room to develop, but you will also enjoy more resources and progress faster than if you stayed in China.”

Zhan Lang was a little surprised that Lin Hongshu spoke fluent Chinese, but he was even more surprised by the other party's invitation.

After all, this is not the first time he has been invited, from Fujii Hideaki to another Japanese 9th dan, and then to Hayashi Hiroki.

Do all Japanese professional chess players value talent so much?
You value talents so much, but you still hire someone to hit someone with a motorcycle?

Seeing Zhan Lang looking a little dazed, Lin Hongshu thought that the other party was surprised by this sudden invitation.

Instead, he smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, you can think about it yourself first, but I can assure you that if you enter the Guanxi Chess Institute, you can get the maximum amount of resources.

Let’s play the game first.”

Lin Hongshu wanted to play against Zhan Lang not only to find out how deep Zhan Lang's current strength is, but also to let him know how high the professional level of Japan is.

It is not something that can be compared with just a few strong players in China.

Staying in China is no different from being a frog in a well.

The only future for all Go players is to jump out of the well of China and come to the Go kingdom of Japan.

In Chinese idioms.

The owner of Xixiwu is Wei Junjie.

Under the current circumstances, Lin Hongshu thought that he could definitely convince Zhan Lang.

The reason why Fujii Hideaki didn't succeed before was that he didn't give enough conditions. Zhan Lang didn't say much, but guessed first with the other party.

Zhan Lang, who got the black chess pieces, decisively formed a Xing Xiaomu opening at the top. If it was a normal game, Lin Hongshu probably thought that the opponent would directly play the Kobayashi style.

However, Zhan Lang is different from others.

Just as Lin Hongshu expected, Zhan Lang’s fifth move clicked on the star number 33 in the lower left corner.

A signature move.

The exchange of blocks and lengths is inevitable.

The question now is whether to proceed according to the original point-3-3 pattern. If so, Zhan Lang will definitely not make the exchange of ban and sticking.

Lin Hongshu couldn't tell whether this was a good idea or not.

So Lin Hongshu decided to change his thinking.

Longer!

This was how Torajiro Kashima responded to San San Lang in the World Amateur Championship. It is a new way of thinking.

But for Zhan Lang, this is a very normal pattern, and it doesn’t even require any thought.

Facing Zhan Lang after he flew over the second line, to the surprise of everyone including Zhan Lang, Lin Hongshu actually came to the upper left corner and clicked on Zhan Lang's three-three.

You should know that the Japanese chess community has been having heated discussions about new variations of fixed patterns such as the Battle Wave Demon Sword, and some are even seriously discussing whether some of the new techniques can work and whether the outer turn can be revived.

There are even many people arguing about the right and wrong of shoulder-to-shoulder Wuyou corner, but the only thing that almost everyone avoids talking about is point 33.

Because this is so outrageous and subversive.

Anyone who dared to say anything would be silenced by the people around him.

No matter what, no matter what the result is, point three three is nonsense.

This can be said to be the consensus in the Japanese chess community.

However, this time, in the game with Zhan Lang, after being hit by the opponent's San San, Lin Hongshu directly hit Zhan Lang's San San.

If this gets out, it will probably cause an uproar.

Lin Hongshu, the 9th dan, might even be criticized by other professional players. Your behavior is simply a betrayal!
But Zhan Lang didn't care at all, and even adopted the same pattern in the upper left corner as the one below, except in a completely different direction.

When Zhan Lang chose to guard the upper right corner alone, Lin Hongshu directly chose to sandwich in the middle.

If someone could turn on artificial intelligence at this time, they would find that Lin Hongshu's move was the choice of artificial intelligence.

It not only poses a threat to the three black pieces on the left, but also has a good point on the right.

No matter how powerful Lin Hongshu is, he is at least a ninth-dan player, so it is normal for him to play the option recommended by artificial intelligence at the beginning of the game.

Zhan Lang directly blocked Lin Hongshu's white chess piece at point 33. When the opponent seized the key point above, Zhan Lang also attacked the three white chess pieces below.

It can be said that at the beginning, the two people's ideas were surprisingly consistent.

But Lin Hongshu did not start the game smoothly like other Japanese 9-dan players and slowly expand the situation. Instead, he made a move directly in the upper left corner.

Push, clamp, and break!
