After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 7 7. Cheating! Sneak Attack!

"A complete game of Go is divided into three stages: opening, middle game, and endgame."

“Which of these three stages do you think is the most important?”

After hearing what Wang Yaozu said, Zhan Lang thought about it carefully: "Mid-game, right? The opening has a fixed pattern, and there are not many spaces on the chessboard in the endgame. The direction of the mid-game is the most important?"

"Yes, and also wrong."

Hearing Zhan Lang's words, Wang Yaozu shook his head.

"what?"

"Everyone has different styles and is good at different things. Some are good at the opening, some are good at the middle game, and some are good at the endgame. The important thing is how to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

For example, Japanese chess players generally have a solid foundation, pay attention to layout and closing, and have studied a lot of experience in this area. Their understanding of chess is better than ours. "

"When I was learning, Chinese Go still used the seat system, which is now considered classical Go, with a more open and aggressive style."

"I was influenced by it, and naturally developed my own style of slashing and killing."

"So when I played against Japanese players, I naturally didn't want to play hard chess, but to defeat them with force."

"There are less than three months left before your Go tournament. It is basically impossible for you to use this time to lay a solid foundation for your basic skills.

Even if you don't attend classes and study with me wholeheartedly for three months, your basic skills won't necessarily improve much."

The basic skills of Go are equivalent to the internal force in martial arts novels, but unlike internal force, which can be directly transferred via USB by predecessors, it must be cultivated through hard work and accumulation over time.

Wang Yaozu could naturally take his time, just like when he was teaching his grandson, breaking down the various variations of a set pattern and explaining them in detail until the other party fully understood it and was even able to draw inferences about other situations.

But this is too time-consuming. In three months, Zhan Lang doesn't need to learn anything else.

If Zhan Lang wants to develop in this field for a long time, Wang Yaozu will naturally strengthen his basic skills training. After all, this is the foundation of a tall building.

But now the opponent has only won the children's championship in a small local competition.

If you want to improve quickly with this goal, you have to do the opposite.

Internal strength cannot be improved in a short period of time, but there are some small tricks that can help you achieve a surprise victory.

"In my opinion, the essence of Go is cheating."

"Except for a few cases where top players crush bottom players, everyone at the same level is cheating each other."

"If you can deceive the other party, you will win. If you are deceived by the other party, you will lose."

"So in order to win, a thing called cheating began to form in Go!"

"A trick?"

Zhan Lang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Seeing Zhan Lang sitting opposite him, Wang Yaozu glanced at him and said, "Actually, you are quite unique. I noticed that you are very accurate in judging the dynamics of chess when we were fighting for life and death."

"Dynamic chess."

"That is, two pieces that have not yet settled. In Go, two eyes are live pieces. If a piece has two eyes, you can't kill it no matter what you do.

But when both the other person and yourself are not yet settled, you show some amazing judgment, which is very interesting.

To some extent, you will be very good at playing chess in the future!"

When Zhan Lang heard this, he didn't know what to say, so he just thought of it as the teacher praising me.

“Predecessors have played against each other countless times and have learned a lot of lessons, including cheating tactics.

Once the opponent is fooled by the trick, it is a very profitable method. Not to mention completely securing the victory, as long as the gap between the opponent and you is not too big, your chances of winning will be greatly increased. "I understand, but since it is summarized by others, don't others know it?"

Zhan Lang expressed his understanding of what the teacher said, but the question is, are others so easy to fool?

The cheating moves in Go are not something that only you can learn by yourself. Most people know what Wang Yaozu knows.

Simply put, these are scam cases that have been exposed. Unless a person is stupid and has a lot of money, the possibility of being fooled is very small.

"You overestimate the current level of Go. How much formal training have you learned to compete in the game? Not to mention how good a teacher you can find. I'm afraid most teachers are half-baked."

Wang Yaozu couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this. China still does not have particularly complete Go-related teaching materials, and basically still relies on this method of teachers teaching students.

When knowledge cannot be popularized, a monopoly will be formed.

Japanese Go has strong sectarianism and secret research techniques before it is played.

In order to steal the opponent's special skills, the Japanese would even marry their own daughters to the enemy to steal.

Although the situation has improved to this day, it is still valuable if you can research something new.

"Boy, be thankful that you have a good teacher like me! In three months, I will teach you the most basic routines, how to cheat people, and how to avoid being cheated.

As long as you don’t run into a famous disciple with a solid foundation, it won’t be a problem to win such a small competition.”

What kind of people can come out of a student competition in Tianjin? This method is enough.

"To go along with these tricks, you also need to use some small tricks."

As he spoke, Wang Yaozu lit up a cigarette and started puffing away.

Looking at the smoke-filled surroundings, Zhan Lang couldn't help coughing twice and fanning himself with his hands.

Did the old man do this on purpose? Did he deliberately blow it in my direction?

Looking at Zhan Lang's disgusted face, Wang Yaozu grinned and revealed his yellow teeth: "If you encounter this kind of situation during the competition, can you still concentrate on playing chess?"

"There will definitely be discounts, but it's impossible to encounter this during a competition, right?"

Zhan Lang said speechlessly, "During the game, someone smokes and blows at you. Is the referee blind?"
"How is it impossible to meet? Smoking during a game is not a big deal. When I was middle-aged, I was playing chess with a Japanese player, and he smoked in front of me, which caused me to lose the game.

Later I learned to smoke, and when we met again, we smoked each other to see who had better lungs.

Zhan Lang was speechless when he heard this. He felt that his teacher was not a serious person either.

Are all today’s Go masters so distinctive?

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't ask you to smoke, this behavior is indeed not good, but you will definitely encounter it in the future.

Small chess halls in the market are full of mixed people, and it can even be said that they are full of smoke. Even in the national sports team, there are many smokers. People will not think that smoking is a hindrance to you, but will only think that you are hypocritical. "

Is cheating so serious nowadays?
Lao Ke dyed his hair during the game and stirred the chess pieces in the box when he was in adversity. He was accused of affecting his opponent outside the board and was scolded by 8U as a model of moral corruption.

As a result, all the seniors are playing so extravagantly?
What Zhan Lang didn't know was that later, a Korean chess player took the tricks outside the rules to the peak, and even directly promoted the standardization of Go etiquette in official competitions.

“I didn’t ask you to learn this kind of thing. The competition you’re about to participate in is for people under fourteen years old, and there’s no way anyone there will smoke.

But in Go, there is also something called psychological warfare.

Not only do you have to cheat inside the chessboard, you have to cheat outside the chessboard as well!"

Zhan Lang nodded when he heard this. Whether he could get the ten thousand yuan depended on whether he could become a Go scammer in three months.
