After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"You really don't dare to rush?"

Looking at Lin Xiaofeng who chose to heal himself, Zhan Lang scratched his eyebrows.

This was actually within Zhan Lang's expectations. Although Zhan Lang had also considered other situations, what was disappointing was that Lin Xiaofeng acted completely according to his own guess.

Although I am Chinese, I learned chess in Japan, the typical Japanese Go.

Although I really don't want to complain, judging from the chess records of these top Japanese players played by artificial intelligence, their flaws are really too serious.

Or how should I put it? Because their style is so distinctive, their flaws are even more serious.

Although it may sound unpleasant, in Go, some styles are flaws to some extent.

This kind of thing is difficult for ordinary people to grasp, but with the help of artificial intelligence tools, some flaws can be seen clearly.

Although Cao Mingxun's chess skills are not as good as those of several top Japanese players for the time being, if we look at it from the perspective of artificial intelligence, Cao Mingxun has fewer flaws than the others.

As for why Cao Mingxun's chess pieces were used, it was because Zhan Lang knew before he traveled through time that Korean Go was China's great enemy.

But from now on, Korean Go does not seem to pose any threat to Chinese Go.

Even when Zhan Lang was eating, he accidentally said that Korean Go might pose a threat to China in the future, and everyone present burst out laughing.

South Korea?

He threatened with his head?

No one believes that Korean Go, which has no voice on the international stage, can threaten Chinese Go.

Even if it can pose a threat to Chinese and Japanese Go, it will be many years later.

This kind of thing is not something that our generation can consider at all. If such a situation occurs, we can only say that our descendants are unfilial. The only thing we can do is to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

However, when Zhan Lang was brushing slices before, he knew that the rise of Korean Go seemed to be a very rapid thing, so although it felt like what others said, he still studied Cao Mingxun, who is currently the number one player in Korea.

But as of now, Cao Mingxun has not reached the level of the first echelon.

Zhan Lang didn’t think too much now. The only thing he could think about was winning the world championship held in Japan!
The current priority is to become the world's number one person in real terms.

As long as I am around, Korean Go will not be able to make a breakthrough for at least the next decade or so.

Come forward?

It would be better to break his head off.

In the game with Lin Xiaofeng, one of Zhan Lang's calculations was that Lin Xiaofeng would just rush in directly, so that the white pieces in his corner would be almost killed.

Of course, benefits and risks coexist. This is the benefit that Lin Xiaofeng has obtained, but it is also a price that must be paid.

The price is that the battle waves will also rush out. After the collision, the two sides will form an extremely complicated and chaotic battle.

Once the battle wave comes out from below, Lin Xiaofeng's small force encircling the corner may be counter-surrounded and will not survive either.

At that time, it will depend on who surrounds whom, and the one who is surrounded will be eaten in the end.

The risks and variables of such a chaotic battle are a bit too great. After thinking about it, Lin Xiaofeng did not dare to take such a risk.

Because when I was chatting with other people before, many people commented that Zhan Lang’s ability in melee combat has always been far ahead, especially in the more complex the situation, his calculations seem to be as precise as possible.

There are even many people who directly comment that Zhan Lang's chess sense is far beyond that of ordinary people. In addition, he is just in his early twenties and his computing power is at its peak. With such a double buff, Zhan Lang's ability in a chaotic battle can be imagined.

Many Japanese suffered losses in the chaotic battles with him. Having seen so many people suffer losses, Lin Xiaofeng naturally took it as a warning.

Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng chose to play it safe and make up for himself at the bottom. In Lin Xiaofeng's opinion, Zhan Lang would most likely stick to the left side in the next step.

The probability of this happening is as high as 99%. After all, playing it safe will most likely give the other party opportunities and better options.

This move was of great value. With a little movement, Zhan Lang could create a space of nearly 20 points with the isolated piece surrounded by him. The harvest could be said to be very rich.

Even for a top chess player, such an achievement is definitely satisfying!
But to Lin Xiaofeng's surprise, Zhan Lang did not stick to him immediately, but leaned back in the chair as if thinking.

However, Lin Xiaofeng did not find it strange, because sometimes the reason why people do not make a necessary move immediately is not because they cannot see it, but because they are thinking about what other means will come after this move.

You can't say that Zhan Lang would give up such a valuable deal, right?
Lin Xiaofeng didn't think there was any other place on the chessboard that was bigger than this one.

The value of this move is obvious to any top expert, and there are no blind spots or hidden problems.

This is even an option among the choices of artificial intelligence.

However, although this is a very good idea, it is not Zhan Lang's choice.

Move 52, White chess, touch!

Zhan Lang went against everyone's expectations and directly bumped into them. This was a move that almost no one had expected, but after it appeared, everyone could see the intention at a glance.

Because the black chess pieces on the left side are already very thick, after Zhan Lang touches it, if Lin Xiaofeng responds, especially if the response is not good, it will become even thicker.

Thickness is indeed a useful thing, but the thicker it is, the better it is not. If it is too thick, it will become cumbersome.

Not only is it useless, but it will also waste your time.

In Go, you take a step and I take a step, which is equivalent to everyone's military strength being basically the same.

You put twenty troops in a place where ten are needed. It seems that there are more people, but it is not only of no help to this place, but will weaken your support for other places.

Lin Xiaofeng understood Zhan Lang's intention of taking this step, but the provocative meaning of this move was too serious.

Lin Xiaofeng was quite unhappy and began to fold the fan in his hand repeatedly. You are really greedy! Aren't you afraid that your dragon will die suddenly?

Although I like the real world, I am not an expert at slaying dragons.

If you want to see me draw my butcher knife, I don't recommend that the knife be stained with blood.

Move 53, Black, jump!

Lin Xiaofeng was not in a hurry to deal with the collision below, but directly started to attack the big dragon on the left side of Zhan Lang.

Zhan Lang's dragon was already under the attack of Lin Xiaofeng's strong forces on both sides, and seemed like an isolated chess piece. Now Lin Xiaofeng sent another troop to reinforce it.

Zhan Lang's large army, which formed a big dragon, naturally began to look precarious under the continuous attacks from both sides.

At this time, Zhan Lang returned to the left and continued to stick to him, and Lin Xiaofeng followed suit.

The situation, which might have been stabilizing, at this moment began to trend towards the outbreak of war again.

Seeing that Lin Xiaofeng did not respond to him, Zhan Lang pulled over from below without hesitation and continued to fish for the real ground, completely ignoring the threat that Lin Xiaofeng posed to his dragon.

Lin Xiaofeng was obviously a little unhappy. Your Baron is already in danger at this moment, and you don't even return to defend? !

Even if it was Zhao Chikun, he would have to fight with himself honestly when faced with this situation, right?

After all, what I did was to dig up the roots. Zhan Lang's family was almost robbed by me, but I still went out to continue making money.

Lin Xiaofeng's original purpose was just to make a feint attack on Zhan Lang's dragon. After all, he knew the difficulty of killing the dragon by force, and he might even end up trapping himself.

This is a feint, forcing Zhan Lang while gaining other benefits through attack. In this way, once the feint attack is successful, although Zhan Lang, the dragon, will not die, the gains made outside will not be less than that of killing the dragon.

This is Go. Go is not about fighting, but a game of wisdom.

But the way Zhan Lang ignored his dragon and even acted completely irresponsible made Lin Xiaofeng really want to kill him.

Move 57, Black moves, big jump!
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Zhan Lang who didn't care about the life or death of his dragon, and seemed determined to teach Zhan Lang a lesson of a dead dragon.

Think about it, it’s better for you to be killed by me than to be killed by others.

It is better to be killed by yourself now than to be killed by others later.

As a senior in China, I still need to teach you a lesson: this is not the way to treat loneliness.

Even Zhao Chikun doesn’t have the courage!
Lin Xiaofeng's big jump directly destroyed the eye position of Zhanlang's dragon. Without eyes, he can't survive. If he can't get two eyes together, I will turn your single chess piece into a dead dragon!

However, Lin Xiaofeng really underestimated the vitality of Zhan Lang, the big dragon. As the saying goes, a chess piece one foot long can survive without eyes, not to mention Zhan Lang, the big dragon that runs through most of the chessboard.

With such a long battle line for the dragon, it is extremely difficult to kill the opponent.

Of course, if Zhan Lang dared to ignore it anymore, he might really be in danger.

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng rushing straight inside, Zhan Lang now had to return to defense.

Although Zhan Lang is very confident in his ability to kill isolated enemies, it does not mean that his dragon will not die.

Because here, Lin Xiaofeng already has a good point to split his own dragon.

The reason why Zhan Lang is so confident about his big dragon is because it reaches the sky and penetrates the earth. But once it is divided, it will turn from a giant dragon into two small loaches.

Once Lin Xiaofeng successfully splits his dragon, both dragons will be in danger of being killed at the same time.

You may even encounter a situation where you cannot take care of both sides, and you have to deal with two pieces instead of one, and the difficulty of dealing with isolated pieces will increase dramatically.

Regardless of the reason, Zhan Lang must make up for it here.

But after making up for it, Zhan Lang started to exert his strength immediately, and broke out from Lin Xiaofeng's breakpoint directly.

You have always used force on me, now it's my turn to use force!

Yue... No, Lin Xiaofeng, 9th Dan, I'm coming out!
"No, I can't just point it straight, otherwise I'll be exposed.

If you withdraw alone... "

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but shook his head. It was not only a problem of ugliness. This way, Zhan Lang would have the upper hand. He might be able to take the opportunity to cross him and break the blockade of his defense line outside.

And the most important thing is that the chess shape would be extremely ugly. Lin Xiaofeng was worried that Katsuya Takenouchi, who was standing next to him, would have a heart attack and be sent to the hospital after seeing it.

As rivals from the same era, Lin Xiaofeng knows Takenouchi Katsuya so well that he even knows what kind of underwear he wears with what kind of suit.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at Takenouchi Katsuya meaningfully. His eyes were full of meaning, which made Takenouchi Katsuya a little confused.

Just play chess, why are you looking at me?
You can't possibly think of me while playing chess with this guy Zhan Lang, right?

That's really disgusting!
Katsuya Takenouchi has always felt that he has some conflicts with a young Chinese player, not just because of his strength and the fact that he lost to him.

These are actually minor problems, and Katsuya Takenouchi can accept them.

The biggest problem is that Katsuya Takenouchi himself has always advocated the orthodox style of playing chess, with beautiful chess shapes and straight boards. The game between the two sides is like gentlemen fencing. This is the orthodox Japanese Go.

What everyone pursues is not just skills, Katsuya Takenouchi believes that Go is more of an art!
However, the young Chinese player Zhan Lang does not seem to have any Go skills at all.

There were constant bumps, collisions, and three-threes. There was absolutely no elegance in the game of Go, and it was not beautiful at all!
Takenouchi Katsu has played against Zhan Lang more than once and has also read many of Zhan Lang's chess records. In general, Takenouchi Katsu also feels that many of Zhan Lang's moves are like a fight between gangsters.

Poke your eyes, spit on you, cut your cock off, all kinds of rogue moves.

Although in theory his methods do seem to be useful, Katsuya Takenouchi disagrees at all!
Go! It’s art!

If everyone plays like Zhan Lang, then what is the difference between such an elegant sport as Go and other vulgar sports.

This is self-destruction!

If Takenouchi Katsuya knew that Lin Xiaofeng had such an ugly thought of retreating, he would probably blame his old rival in public, right?

Are you retreating?!

You are admitting defeat!
Ugly! So ugly!
I want to break off my friendship with you! I am ashamed to be associated with people like you!
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiaofeng doubled up from below. Zhan Lang naturally couldn't be so stupid as to eat it directly. Let's see who can eat and live directly, but Lin Xiaofeng had a better idea.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Zhan Lang who was eating directly from the side, and took action without any hesitation.

Once Lin Xiaofeng started fighting, it seemed that he had no intention of giving up easily.

Lin Xiaofeng was stubborn. He said, "Since I have decided to slay the dragon, I have no intention of stopping. Apart from doing it, I have never thought about anything else."

Seal the encirclement!
Then slay the dragon!

After using a tiger, he directly blocked Zhan Lang's entire dragon.

kill!

Zhan Lang couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Lin Xiaofeng, who was determined to fight to the death with him. You were obviously willing to make amends and give in at the beginning, so why can't you do that now?

If you must fight me to the death to kill the dragon, why make it so intense?

Can't you just take a step back in everything?

If Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he would probably want to curse. I didn’t want to fight directly in the beginning, but you fucking forced me to do it!

What do you mean I just need to take a step back?! I just need to step back until I die, right?
The 70th move, White chess, stick!
When Zhan Lang faced the threat to his big dragon, he did not hesitate at all and directly threatened the lower right corner to surround his brain.

Encirclement and counter-encirclement!
Faced with Zhan Lang who wanted to counter-encircle and kill his Baron, Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment and then started to deal with his own Baron.

Zhan Lang turned back and stuck to the bottom, not only filling the breakpoint, but also demanding to cross the second route, not giving Lin Xiaofeng any advantage.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the stingy Zhan Lang and became more and more angry.

Some people said before that they felt unhappy after playing with Zhan Lang, but Lin Xiaofeng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Go is a game that requires fighting for every inch of land and every penny.

If you look at this chess record objectively, it can only mean that it is your own fault if you cannot beat others, so don't blame others.

But sometimes, it is objective, and objectively it is true, but subjectively...

I'm going to work early!

Lin Xiaofeng did not choose to stand, but directly pulled it up.

Although the white chess pieces next to him have a good eye position, Lin Xiaofeng's intention has begun to expand.

Not only is there a big dragon on your left, I'm also ready to switch battlefields at any time and have a good fight with you in the lower right area.

At this time, Zhan Lang's dragon is still in a half-dead state. Ordinary methods are no longer effective for survival, and he must use a heavy punch!

Move 78, White chess, step forward!
Attack as defense!

After Lin Xiaofeng finished his charge, Zhan Lang followed directly.

Seeing Zhan Lang coming straight up, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but take a breath.

Lin Xiaofeng's first reaction to this was to block it directly, but if he did that, Zhan Lang would inevitably come over, and once he grew...

After Lin Xiaofeng calculated the inevitable changes, he couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the change chart in his mind.

If this area were to form such a battle, it would be too complicated and Lin Xiaofeng had no way of being sure he could figure it out.

Especially in this kind of entangled and chaotic battle, the complexity rises sharply. If it is not handled properly, the death of the dragon is commonplace.

You can't force it. If you do, the risk to your black pieces will be too great.

You can't try your best. How can you win the game if you try your best?

Lin Xiaofeng could only comfort himself in his heart, thinking that if he were younger, he might have given it a try.

However, Lin Xiaofeng, who is in his forties and is approaching 50 this year, can clearly feel that his fighting power has declined sharply. It is unwise to engage in a complicated battle with the opponent in this area and then compete with the young people in fighting power.

Bear with him!
Lin Xiaofeng directly chose the thick self-repair.

Looking at the cowardly Lin Xiaofeng, Zhan Lang couldn't help but shook his head.

This is the biggest shortcoming of Japanese chess players. Once they encounter an extremely complex and unclear situation, they dare not try it without certainty.

In this regard, only Takemiya Masahira is slightly better, because he is indeed very confident in his calculation ability.

After Lin Xiaofeng backed down, Zhan Lang felt comfortable.

After the contact, they directly tore a hole in the encirclement outside Lin Xiaofeng, especially the white piece that was eaten by Lin Xiaofeng below, which was still alive.

Once it escapes, it is very likely to entangle and attack the two big dragons above and below Lin Xiaofeng.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Isn’t it said that Zhan Lang plays better with black chess? How come he is also so smooth with white chess?
In Go, there are often people who are good at playing with black or white, but in the later era of big handicap, everyone generally believes that white pieces are easier to play.

There are even a series of sayings such as "he lost less to Bai Jie" and so on. Even during the decadent period that was criticized by others, Lao Ke still reached the level of fourteen bars and two with white in the first half of 2024. If he could play two more games, he might be able to get the reverse level of two bars and sixteen.

Even if Chinese rules are adopted, because the level of artificial intelligence is so high, the advantage of white chess at seven and a half points in the game against artificial intelligence is even more terrifying.

Therefore, in the game of artificial intelligence, everyone adopted an Ai rule, which can achieve the effect of Chinese rules of six and a half points.

既黑贴3又1/4子，当白先弃着时黑多贴1/2子。

It was once rumored online that the Chinese Go Association wanted to apply the rules of AI competitions to actual competitions in order to improve the unfavorable situation of playing black.

But it seemed like it was just a rumor, and it disappeared after being passed on for a while.

The Japanese rules were changed from five and a half points to six and a half points, and the advantage of white chess was also further expanded. Although it was not as terrible as the later big handicap era, it still gave Zhan Lang, who was playing with white, a lot of advantages.

After all, it is difficult to become a bootlicker, but it is relatively easy to catch a rich man.

Lin Xiaofeng could see that Zhan Lang had been thinking for a long time. Now he was definitely unable to stop Zhan Lang from breaking through his encirclement. All he could think of was how to increase his gains.

After careful consideration, Lin Xiaofeng made a move outside, firmly capturing Zhan Lang's piece that was dead but not dead, while also starting to put pressure on the white pieces below.

Move 84, White chess piece captures.

Zhan Lang didn't hesitate at all and directly grabbed the food in the center.

This move was extremely pleasant. Zhan Lang's entire dragon floated directly out of the water, just like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

After Zhan Lang's dragon thrust its head into the center, the situation began to change unknowingly.

Here, the strength of the two sides began to change, and the forces above Lin Xiaofeng were under serious threat. Once the battle waves broke in from above, they might face a dilemma.

Lin Xiaofeng also saw the potential crisis above, but he did not rush to take care of himself. Instead, he directly carried out his intention and went down to attack!

Zhan Lang looked at Lin Xiaofeng who came in directly to threaten him and did not respond in a hurry. Although he could simply protect the corner, the result was that the three white pieces were directly eaten by Lin Xiaofeng.

Zhan Lang felt that he had to squeeze out all of his last surplus value from every chess piece, and not rush to send them to their deaths.

Isn’t it just breaking in?

As if no one knows how to break in!
Move 86, White chess piece, attack from the top!
Zhan Lang took the lead almost without even thinking.

Seeing the battle waves coming directly towards him, Lin Xiaofeng folded the fan in his hand more and more frequently.

If the upper part does not use thunder-like means to suppress Zhan Lang, once he is allowed to survive easily on the top and then return to defend the corner below, the board will most likely be firmly in his advantage.

It will be difficult to make a comeback later.

After careful consideration, Lin Xiaofeng decided to use the sharp attack from above to directly hit the battle wave. This was the strongest local method. After this step, several top-notch players who had been eliminated in the game room could not help but nod their heads when they saw this step.

"After this move, it will be difficult for White to move in this area."

After making a few random moves, Fujii Hideaki couldn't help but nodded. This was definitely the best way for the black pieces to respond at the top.

As long as he can wipe out all the white pieces above, or gain other benefits through attack, and then return to the bottom, Lin Xiaofeng can gradually get into an advantageous situation.

"Now it depends on whether Zhan Lang dares to directly cut off the black chess pieces and come forward."

"The risk is a bit too high. Maybe it will happen."

"Apart from this high-risk approach, all other methods are too painful."

"It depends on whether this kid has the courage."

courage?

Zhan Lang said that not only does it exist, but it is also very big!

Move 90, White chess piece flies out!

This also means the beginning of a new round of battle!
The two sides directly cut off each other. This is the same path, so naturally there is no possibility of any mistakes by either side.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Zhan Lang who was picking grapes on top and continued to grow outwards without any hesitation.

From this step, it can be seen that although Lin Xiaofeng has moved the battlefield below, he still maintains his original desire deep in his heart.

Kill the big white dragon on the left!

Even though he has already made it.

Even if Zhan Lang came forward now, Dalong was still at risk of being attacked, because there were large groups of Lin Xiaofeng's Black Cavalry on both the upper and lower sides, and none of them were weak.

At this time, except for one corner on the upper left and right sides, none of the other chess pieces are completely alive.

“The situation is a bit too chaotic.”

"Indeed, we all have our own opinions on which side is stronger and which is weaker."

"I'm afraid that Brother Lin won't be able to handle this extremely complicated situation."

Fujii Hideaki couldn't help but shook his head at this time. This complicated situation was obviously what Zhan Lang wanted to see.

In this situation, the higher the talent, the better the performance sometimes.

Not only that, this is closely related to the computing power of both parties and the physical strength required for high-intensity computing.

Lin Xiaofeng, who was once known as the twin heroes of the Bamboo Grove Generation along with Katsuya Takenouchi, may not be able to defeat the young people now.

After all, he is in his forties and his peak period has actually passed.

As the saying goes, young and strong people are better at fighting.

In fact, the same is true for chess!

PS: The water level has exceeded the warning line. Now everyone is on the river and is not allowed to leave. We have been here for nearly forty-eight hours. Yesterday, my cell phone ran out of battery and I couldn’t even send a leave request. After I evacuated, I charged it in the back and used my break time to code a picture.

It should be finished in the next two days. If I'm lucky, it will be finished tomorrow, so I can update normally tomorrow night. If not, it may be postponed tomorrow night.

I'm really sorry, Red Bean Paste Private Marseille! I won't say anymore, I'm going to work the night shift on the dike again.
