Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 62 Self-destruction without attack
Second move, White chess, star position.

The moment Yi Zheng made his move and rang the bell, Niu Ziteng quickly followed suit, apparently without any thought.

The third move, black chess, star position.

Fourth move, White, small eye.

Fifth move, Black, small eye.

Seeing this, Yi Zheng paused and sighed. He was 100% sure that Niu Ziteng was playing imitation chess.

The so-called imitation chess is that one party plays chess at a symmetrical point on the chessboard following the other party, and finally forms a completely symmetrical chess game with black and white sides.

Looking at Yi Zheng who paused, Niu Ziteng couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. What do you think? Didn't expect it?

In Niu Ziteng's opinion, as someone from an academic background, Yi Zheng is basically unlikely to learn something unorthodox like imitation chess, and he would be reprimanded by his teacher if he played something similar.

However, what Niu Ziteng may not have expected is that Yi Zheng is the biggest heretic in the eyes of all chess academy teachers!

Speaking of imitation chess, the first game of imitation chess recorded in chess records was played between Showa Go Master Wu Qingyuan and Go master Kitani Minoru.

At that time, the handicap system had not yet been implemented, so Wu Qingyuan, playing with black, would first play the Tianyuan piece, and then wherever Kitani Minoru played with white, Wu Qingyuan, playing with black, would also play the symmetrical piece.

This was the first time in Japan that "imitation chess" was used for competition, so Kitani Minoru had to think for a long time and could not think of any good way to deal with it.

At noon on the first day, when the game was closed, Kitani Minoru complained to the referee that if he continued to imitate like this, the game would be unplayable. But the referee said awkwardly that imitation chess did not violate the rules and the referee had no right to interfere with the opponent's moves.

Afterwards, imitation chess was opposed by all Japanese chess players, who believed that imitation chess was a way of playing that lacked artistry and disrespected the opponent.

However, Tianyuan was able to play imitation chess at the beginning because black had the first move but was not given a point penalty.

Now Niu Ziteng, playing with black, has the burden of seven and a half points. If he plays normally, he will lose directly.

"But the essence of imitation chess is not imitation."

Niu Ziteng looked at Yi Zheng, who had not made a move yet, and thought that the other party was thinking about how to crack his imitation chess.

For some beginners, the method to crack the imitation chess is very simple. One is to make a conquering move. Both sides conquer and meet in the center. The one who makes the move first wins.

One is to play chess in the middle, with the pieces moving close to each other. If the opponent imitates you, you will surround each other and finally you will take the first move.

However, this method can only be used against beginners, because they only know how to imitate for the sake of imitation, and can forcibly eat the opponent's chess pieces to crack.

However, if you are dealing with an experienced chess player, such as Niu Ziteng, this method will actually play into the opponent's hands.

"Imitation chess also has different levels. Imitation chess is about judging the opponent's moves. If the opponent plays a bad move, I can immediately stop imitating and deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

The timing of changing tactics and the fatal blow lurking in the dark are the true essence of imitating chess!"

Niu Ziteng looked at the chessboard with full confidence. He had once defeated an amateur player using imitation chess.

In his opinion, it would not be a problem to use it to deal with Yi Zheng today!

At this time, Mr. Ke also floated over and looked at Yi Zheng who was sitting next to him.

Yi Zheng: 6. You actually guessed the question right.

Looking at the Tianyuan black piece in the center, Mr. Ke couldn't help but grumble, "Isn't this guy an idiot? He imitates Tianyuan at the start of the big handicap. What a psycho!"

When facing a Chinese opponent, Mr. Ke played imitation chess with white and the queen, which was a valuable move. He eventually forced his opponent into a desperate move, Tianyuan, and then Mr. Ke changed his strategy to defeat him. However, playing imitation chess with Tianyuan at the beginning was indeed unwise, and it was extremely easy to crack.

"This guy is desperate, but I've already told Yi Zheng how to deal with this kind of imitation when playing with black or white, so it doesn't matter.

The essence of imitation chess is indeed changing moves, but if you want to change moves, you must have the opportunity to change!

If you pretend to be a pig and want to eat the tiger, but you pretend too long, you will become a pig yourself.”

Mr. Ke couldn't help shaking his head when he looked at the question he guessed. He didn't expect that he would actually guess it right when he just guessed it randomly.

Imitation is a bit troublesome when playing with white, but it is very easy to deal with when playing with black.

Yi Zheng only needs to simply surround the empty space, break up the chessboard, and prevent Niu Ziteng's central piece from playing to its value of seven and a half points.

After about 20 moves, Mr. Ke couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the situation on the chessboard.

Niu Ziteng obviously didn't realize that the current situation had been broken up, the value of the Central Tianyuan was constantly decreasing, and its effect was becoming weaker and weaker.

There is still a glimmer of hope if he changes his tactics directly, but Niu Ziteng seems to be determined to carry out the imitation chess to the end.

Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger has gradually turned into pretending to be a pig to eat feed.

Mr. Ke couldn't help but sigh, if you don't realize it now, when you think it through later, it will not only hurt your cow!
Just as Mr. Ke had expected, after the 69th move, Niu Ziteng began to realize that something was wrong.

The Tianyuan son who is at the center of your own life has been destroyed?
Although both sides have formed exactly the same pattern in the corners and edges, the only difference is that the black chess piece has one more natural position in the center.

However, the development of the Tianyuan piece on the left is restricted by the white pieces, making it extremely difficult to create space above. It is also difficult to create space below because of the two flowers of Yi Zheng.

Is there no way out on either side?
At this moment, Niu Ziteng's black pieces on the chessboard seemed to have become undercover agents, and none of them could provide effective support to the Tianyuan piece in the center.

All of this was developed by Niu Ziteng with the hard work of his sons.

"Can't post it anymore?"

Niu Ziteng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he looked at the chessboard, and even the chess piece in his hand slipped unconsciously and fell back into the jar.

My own imitation chess game collapsed on its own! ?
This has never happened before!
Niu Ziteng seemed to see the black piece on his chessboard talking to him.

Heizi: Three years, three years, and another three years! Sir, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I've always followed Brother Yi Zheng to do serious business.

Looking at Niu Ziteng who was slow to realize his mistake, Old Ke couldn't help but shake his head: "Young man, young man, it's not that easy to defeat someone I taught."

Niu Ziteng looked at the situation on the field and knew that it was time to change his tactics. If he continued to imitate, he would have to say to Yi Zheng after he finished, "I suspect I am Emei Peak." It was pure euthanasia.

Although Niu Ziteng started to counterattack now, just as Mr. Ke said, Niu Ziteng had already lost the last chance to change his tactics.

Changing tactics now is not a fight to the death, but a trap to walk into!

After playing chess for 118 moves, Niu Ziteng looked at the player below who was about to be beaten into a big-headed ghost and chose to admit defeat.

Imitation chess will fall apart on its own.
