After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 29 29. The King of Grinding
Looking at Zhan Lang, whom he did not recognize, sitting in front of him, Qiu Lin asked curiously, "Where is Li Yiran?"

Theoretically speaking, the main general of Tianjin will only be Li Yiran, especially when I am there, it can only be Li Yiran.

Not a total stranger.

The Go circle is so small that I may not know all the famous players like Qiu Lin, but at least I have some impression of them.

Zhan Lang really has no memory at all, not to mention that it is impossible for the Tianjin Go team to find someone with a higher level than Li Yiran.

"Well, it seems that Boss Li had an accident... He can't come. I'll take over for him for a while."

Let others explain the specific situation to you when the time comes.

After Zhan Lang finished speaking, he looked at the hills and forests opposite.

The other person was wearing a very simple work suit and had a shaved head. He looked like a very simple and honest man.

According to what teammate Liu Deshui said just now, the opponent's chess style is a very solid and orthodox one, which indeed seems to be in line with the image.

Qiu Lin didn't ask any further questions after hearing this, but just replied: "Is there something wrong? If it's him, it seems normal."

Zhan Lang didn't know what to say after hearing this answer. He could only say that his captain seemed to be really famous...

"The game will begin soon. This Tianjin-Hebei friendly match will follow the rules. Black will be given a handicap of two and three-quarter stones. Each side will have one hour and thirty minutes to play. There will be three thirty-second countdowns. Please guess the first move."

"White chess."

Seeing the white piece in his hand, Zhan Lang couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't like being passive.

Not to mention that Baizi is not yet version T0 in this era.

After Zhan Lang, as the white player, started the timer, Qiu Lin did not make his move immediately. Instead, he covered his mouth with his hands and leaned back in his chair to think.

Theoretically speaking, the first move in Go is basically not something that needs to be thought about.

Even if the No. 1 subordinate was doing something in Tianyuan, it was already thought out before the game. It was basically impossible that he came up with it on a whim during the game.

And the normal layout is the same no matter where you go in the four corners, you just need to think a little bit about which layout can lead the situation to a familiar one.

It is indeed rare for someone to think for five or six minutes at a time like this.

Even if Zhan Lang knew in advance that the opponent would take this slow approach, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

You know the other person did it on purpose ≠ you are not angry

You guys think about it for five or six minutes for the first hand, are you deliberately looking for trouble?

Can you play this chess game? !

Qiu Lin was not in a hurry at all. After a few minutes, he finally picked up a chess piece and prepared to make a move. But just as Zhan Lang was expecting, when he was about to put it on the chessboard, he shook his head and put it back.

Then half a minute later it went down to the upper right corner, but was retracted when it was about to be put down.

After repeating this two or three times, Zhan Lang began to get used to it. Not only was he no longer impatient, he seemed to have figured out what was going on.

Is this guy trying to mess up his mentality on purpose?

Repeatedly testing the edge of the move is to make the opponent start to become impatient.

To some extent, this is also psychological warfare.

After figuring it out, Zhan Lang didn't get in a hurry. Instead, he stood up and ran to other people to watch.

Compared to the main chessboard which has been empty until now, the other three chessboards can be said to be in full swing.

Basically all the corners have been filled, and everyone is about to start the fierce mid-game battle.

Those who were progressing faster had already made around fifty moves on both sides.

After Zhan Lang walked around, he went out to the toilet, and when he came back he finally found Qiu Lin's move.

The first move, black chess, the star position in the upper right corner. Just this one move, the opponent almost wasted ten minutes.

Zhan Lang sighed and muttered, "I thought you were going to do something fancy like the harmony of heaven and earth for me, but this is what happened."

Qiu Lin listened to Zhan Lang's muttering and looked at him strangely.

The harmony of heaven and earth?

what is this.

If Zhan Lang could hear the question the other party wanted to ask, he would definitely reply.

This is harmony!
Second move, white chess piece, star position in the lower left corner.

More than ten minutes later, both sides made these two moves. If this were broadcast live on a Go platform decades later, it would probably be criticized to death in the comment section.

After thinking for another five minutes, Qiu Lin finally made his third move, which was finally different from the ordinary process.

The third move, black chess piece, hanging corner in the lower left corner.

Normally, when the Go game is set up, both sides will first occupy the four corners with two players, and then start offensive and defensive operations at the four corners.

Zhou Shuren once said that in Go, the corners are the most important part of the game, with silver edges and grass belly.

Because Go is essentially a land enclosure sport, which was played by farmers from the 15th to the 19th century...

Sorry, I'm off topic.

If you want to enclose a piece of territory on the chessboard, you also need to be careful about the methods and techniques.

Because the chessboard has boundaries on all four sides, and there are two boundaries at the corners to rely on, only two more sides are needed to form a square.

But if it is on the edge, there is only one side, and three sides are needed to form a square of the same size.

If it is in the middle, with no support on the four sides, then if you want to form a square of the same area, you must have four sides.

This is the so-called efficiency issue, and it is also the reason why Go is considered to have a golden horn, silver edge and grass belly.

Of course, things are not absolute, because the center of Go is the largest, essentially because it is too big, and human players like Gazi cannot grasp it.

Lu Xun, who was studying in Japan, commented on this: "If there is a God in Go, he will definitely not play chess like humans."

Although Qiu Lin's decision to hang the corner directly in the third hand did not affect anything, it was a bit impolite.

However, it also proves that the other party's mentality is relatively stable, even relaxed, or in other words, this is also exerting pressure to some extent.

It seems to be saying, I don’t feel any pressure when facing you, just play casually.

In fact, Qiu Lin really thought so deep down in his heart.

This young man who appeared out of nowhere must have a far cry from mine in terms of level. It is impossible for him to even be at a professional level, otherwise I would not have failed to recognize him.

That being the case, there really is nothing to take too seriously.

Zhan Lang seemed to be able to understand the other party's thoughts.

Go is also known as hand talk. Whether both sides are excited, calm or have various emotions, they can actually be expressed on the board and the opponent can understand.

After Zhan Lang understood what the other party meant, he just smiled.

In terms of hard power, there is definitely a gap between me and the other party.

However, if the enemy underestimates us and is careless, it is not impossible for them to escape from Eagle Valley.

People who are more capable than you have already done it, so there is no need to talk about you.

Fourth move, White, jump!
