After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 60: The Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon
"You can place as many pieces on the board as you like, depending on your skill level."

After Takenaka Heizo finished speaking, the translator following him said something.

Zhan Lang nodded. Although it was a guiding chess game, if they played first, the gap between the two sides was too big, and they would probably suffer a big loss as soon as they came into contact.

Therefore, people usually choose to give up pieces or give up points to make up for the gap between the two sides.

Zhan Lang thought about it for a moment and placed two black pieces on the chessboard.

Seeing Zhan Lang only put two black pieces on the chessboard, Takenaka Heizo seemed a little unhappy: "In Japan, those who can beat me with two pieces are all professional players. Do you think you have the strength to be a professional?"

Zhan Lang just nodded after hearing what the translator said: "I want to challenge myself."

Zhan Lang started learning chess near the end of last year 1979. Three months later, he participated in the youth competition at that time. In the fourth month, he joined the provincial team. Almost ten months have passed since then.

Although there are basically no competitions these days, the sports teams are still training as usual.

Zhan Lang basically doesn't need to give too many hands to Zhan Lao now, or it can be said that the Eagle piece is no longer enough to give, but if they have to go first, Zhan Lang's winning rate is not very high.

Xiaoxiao, the ninth dan, allowed Sanzi to win a game occasionally.

On the provincial team side, Zhan Lang has already begun to have a significant advantage in winning rate against other teams, except for Li Yiran. Zhan Lang's record is still a little inferior, and he has lost many games to the opponent during training.

Zhan Lang could clearly feel that after his appearance, although Li Yiran was still carefree and looked like he was messing around everywhere, his chess skills were actually improving.

After a comprehensive evaluation, Zhan Lang estimated that his level should have reached the level of young people who would strive for a professional level in the future, but it was still a long way from the top level of the professional level.

But there is no doubt that there is still a big gap between Japanese 9th dan like Heizo Takenaka and later 9th dan. If he is given three pieces, Zhan Lang feels that his chances of winning may be greater.

In this case, why not challenge and give up two pieces?

I want to challenge my own weakness!
A challenge? A provocation?

According to what Heizo Takenaka knew, most of China's professional chess players have already joined the national team for training, and the provincial teams are mostly amateur players.

Therefore, Zhan Lang’s level is just amateur at best, and he could only have guessed one thing right before.

"Just don't regret wasting this hard-earned opportunity. I won't play a second game with you."

Heizo Takenaka didn't say much. Since you said so, then I will give you some guidance.

After Heizo Takenaka started the countdown, he made his move directly, and then he started the game by hanging a corner move directly.

Zhan Lang also responded by using Xiao Fei to hang in the corner, and finally directly clicked on the three-three in the upper left corner.

When Heizo Takenaka saw Zhan Lang directly clicking on San San, he frowned slightly, but didn't think too much about it.

Although directly clicking on 3-3 is considered an extremely rebellious act in a normal game, it is still quite common in handicap chess.

This type of point three three is simply a way to grab the space, occupying the real estate in the corner, which has at most 15 points. However, it leaves the opponent with an endless external force to attack and develop a larger space, which should be far better than occupying 15 points in the corner.

But why do you dare to do this with only two pieces? You are not afraid at all that your advantage will disappear in a flash.

Fang Yuan, who was in charge of patrolling the field as a referee, turned around and found Zhan Lang who had directly clicked on the 33 mark in the upper left corner, and he pinched his philtrum.

Don’t be anxious, don’t be angry, your body is yours!

Take a deep breath!
Take a deep breath!
It will be over soon!
Fang Yuan remembered that after he first saw this point, he reminded Zhan Lang countless times that this was an evil path! The sea of ​​suffering is endless, and turning back is the shore!
He sneered at Zhan Lang's nonsense about retaining changes on the outside and denounced it as pure heresy.

But I didn’t expect Zhan Lang to behave like this in front of me: yes, yes, yes.

Then he turns around and does the same to himself!
Fortunately, the game was a handicap game. If it was a split move, I would have turned around and left. There is now a similar pattern to the later one for point three three, but Takenaka Heizo did not follow the pattern, but flew one.

When Zhan Lang saw Takenaka Heizo flying down, he was stunned and recalled some bad memories.

When I played against a certain Eagle for the first time, the opponent used exactly the same moves, and then the knife flew out of its sheath and I was beheaded.

Zhan Lang was taught a lesson by this several times later. It can be said that he is the biggest and only victim of this flying knife in this era.

But after Zhan Lang carefully studied the changes, he still couldn't figure out and grasp this flying knife, because there were too many changes. It was more complicated than the so-called demon sword and the big slope.

To put it bluntly, Daxie Qianbian is known as the prototype of the Heavenly Demon, but in Zhan Lang's opinion, this flying knife is the real Heavenly Demon, too demonic and too evil.

If you don't handle it well, it will backfire on you and you will fall into the endless hell.

Don’t ask Zhan Lang how he knew that, because Zhan Lang was so brave that he took the flying knife and challenged Master Zhan without even thinking twice. The result is predictable.

So now when Zhan Lang sees this flying move, he feels PTSD to some extent, even more anxious than some people when they see their own names.

"What are you flying around for? There is no such change in this world."

Zhan Lang has been learning for such a long time, he still knows some basic changes and common sense of Go in this world. However, this world does not have such messy things as directly clicking three threes.

But Zhan Lang himself has not yet mastered the use of this knife. Now following others is basically the same as two people holding a time bomb and throwing it at each other to see who is unlucky enough to be killed first, or the bomb gets stuck.

Thinking of this, Zhan Lang still chose to make a simple change.

It’s okay. I’ll wait until I figure out this flying knife, and then I’ll secretly take it out to surprise everyone.

I have already thought of the name myself.

It's called the Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon.

So which move is better called the Great Comparison of Heaven and Earth?

Without any hesitation, Heizo Takenaka used the Double Flying Swallows in the lower left corner, and Zhan Lang pressed forward concisely.

Move 37, White, long!

But just when he was caught off guard, Heizo Takenaka suddenly made an effort to capture all the pieces in the lower left corner of Zhan Lang.

Looking at Takenaka Heizo who suddenly exerted force, Zhan Lang was stunned for a moment.

In this era, chess masters have all reached a tacit understanding and have a special liking for the gentle and slow-paced moves such as single jump, small flying, and splitting two, and have reached a unanimous agreement.

During the layout phase, everyone should stop at the designated points to avoid unnecessary contact between chess pieces. The outcome will be determined slowly in the middle and late game.

Even a strong player would not resort to violence before the fiftyth move.

This is why the collision before Zhan Lang was so confusing, because now people won’t be so rough at the beginning and just hit each other in the face.

In traditional Go, the emphasis is on stopping at the right time at the beginning.

I didn't expect that the old masters from Japan, the birthplace of traditional Go, would have no moral principles!

PS: There were very few competitions in China in the 80s. Unlike the st century, when a complete professional system has been formed and the protagonist in the previous book could play endless competitions, the competitions that Zhan Lang could participate in in the s were very few and there was no way to do that.

However, the first world championship is about to begin, although it is amateur~
