Chapter 133 Go: Father and Son Game!

"Stand upright with your feet close together, your hands hanging by your sides, your eyes looking forward, and your tongue on the roof of your mouth..."

Guangming Furniture Store, third floor, Qian Quan is teaching students Wing Chun small thoughts.

Everyone is obviously more interested in this than practicing calligraphy.

Of course, judging from the experience of those who have come from Qianquan, if these students enroll in martial arts classes, they are likely to be interested in calligraphy.

Children and teenagers play with a sense of rebellious dislocation.

"Teacher, what does 'tongue on top of palate' mean?"

Some students raised their hands and asked.

Qian Quan had no choice but to open his mouth and demonstrate to everyone.

There is a saying, sometimes, reputation and teaching level are not directly proportional.

A big Internet celebrity with 3 million fans may not be able to teach better than an ordinary martial arts coach.

Fortunately, Qian Quan has experience as a basketball coach, plus he has already practiced kung fu to a state where he has returned to his original nature, and he has the ability to watch people's performance, so he can teach a few children with ease.

When the first one finished teaching, he had a preliminary impression of the talents and understanding of his classmates.

The little boy named Chu Yan is indeed the best martial arts training material among them.

What's even more rare is that he has an upright appearance and a pure aura in his body, which is in line with the connotation requirements of Xiaoniu.

During the teaching process, Qian Quan couldn't help but give him a few more words.

After today's training, the students all left the furniture store happily.

Everyone can't wait to go back and demonstrate the "martial arts" learned today to their friends.

"It seems that we can open a special martial arts training class this summer." Qian Wenlin saw how enthusiastic the students were.

"If they were specially trained, they might not be so passionate about it."

Qian Wenlin didn't know this, so he nodded: "I just said casually, it's also a matter of going to a training class during the summer vacation."

"Uncle, how are you doing at Go?" Ding Linlang asked.

"I tried it online. I should have an amateur level of 3rd and 4th dan, but this is not convincing. I still need to get a dan certificate..." He said and suddenly laughed at himself, "I guess I will have to find someone else to hold Go classes by then.

The teacher will teach."

"Why?" Qian Quan asked.

"The math teacher in our class is an amateur 6-dan. She told me that many of the offline competitions for amateur grading and grading are primary school students. It would be a bit embarrassing for me to participate at my age."

“Is there no age limit for Go rating?”

"We don't have it here, but there are social restrictions." Qian Wenlin joked, "Imagine that scene. I go to participate in a competition, and there is a seven or eight-year-old primary school student sitting opposite me. What will he think of me? What will the referee do?

Look at me?"

Ding Linlang and Qian Quan imagined that scene and both laughed.

Ding Linlang added: "What if that primary school student signs up for our training class in order to further improve his chess skills and participate in a higher-level competition, and then sees that you are here to teach him..."

Qian Wenlin laughed loudly and said, "That would be even more embarrassing."

As he spoke, he regretted: "We used to attach too much importance to the study of cultural classes and didn't send you to learn any extracurricular skills. We didn't learn Go, violin, piano, painting, or dance..."

Ding Linlang said: "I think it's okay, we have also developed our own interests."

He said, pointing to Qian Quan: "Qian Quan also practiced Kung Fu secretly."

Qian Quan said: "Aren't you also writing novels secretly?"

Ding Linlang glared at him.

Qian Wenlin smiled and said: "Fortunately, your talents have not been buried."

Qian Quan returned to the topic just now: "Dad, you just said that there are offline competitions for grading, is there also online competition?"

"Well, levels 12 to 10 are all online, and you compete with robots. Once you pass, you can level up. After level 9, there are offline competitions."

"Then you can take the online test first." Qian Quan suggested.

"That doesn't mean much anymore."

"That's true," Qian Quan nodded, "but if I can pass the exam, I can occasionally tutor those entry-level freshmen in the future."

Qian Wenlin thought for a while and said, "Well, after the Chinese New Year, let's sign up for the exam."

"Now that we've talked about this, let's have a discussion." Qian Quan suggested.

Qian Wenlin naturally agreed.

In chess, he is no longer a match for his son.

Now, father and son are learning Go on the same starting line, and he has devoted so much time and energy that he believes he can win steadily.

Back home, the father and son set up the chessboard and prepared to play.

Go is an elegant competitive sport, and its etiquette rules are slightly more complicated than chess.

For example, the posture of holding the chess piece is very particular. The correct way to hold the piece is to hold the piece between the tips of the index finger and the pulp of the middle finger.

The hand movements are a bit like the orchid fingers in opera, emphasizing leisure and elegance.

Of course, in real competitions, where considerable prize money and fame are at stake, leisure is definitely out of the question.

In Go, there is an etiquette of guessing before the game.

That is, the lower hand asks the upper hand to grab a number of white stones, and he or she takes out one or two black stones to indicate the odd or even number of white stones. If the guess is correct, the player will hold black stones, and if the guess is wrong, the player will hold white stones.

The first guess is usually made by the person with the higher rank or the older person.

In Go, black moves first to show respect for the opponent. Generally speaking, black moves first to occupy the upper right corner. The purpose is to leave the upper left corner closest to the opponent's right hand to the opponent.

Overall, there are more details in Go etiquette.

Compared with etiquette, its rules are much more complicated than chess.

Qian Quan deliberately learned these online in order to test "Three Nine" and play against Li Zhi.

He and his dad guessed first, and dad went first with black.

In Go, there is a clear advantage to playing first. After all, you can occupy a favorable position in advance.

In "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", the Yellow-browed Monk and Duan Yanqing played chess, and in order to gain the upper hand, they even chopped off a toe, which can be evidenced.

However, in the current Go game, in order to balance out the black stone's advantage of moving first, the rule of post has been added.

To put it simply, when calculating the outcome of the chess game at the end of the game, the black player must place 3.75 chess pieces before calculating again.

The Go board has 19 vertical and horizontal lines, with a total of 361 intersection points, so the number of return points for both sides of the game is 180.5 pieces.

In other words, if Black wants to win the game, he must occupy more than 184.25 (i.e. 185) intersections to win.

Qian Wenlin and Qian Quan are not high-ranking players, but they started the game in a very orderly manner, each occupying two corners, forming a "parallel layout."

Immediately afterwards, Qian Wenlin dropped a chess piece in the middle of his two black stones, creating a "three-star layout."

This layout is grand, active and changeable, and is suitable for chess players who are good at attacking and fighting in large situations.

But there is one thing to say. For Qian Wenlin, he still focused on experimentation and bluffing in setting up this game. As for how to effectively connect it with subsequent attacks and kills, he is still in the exploratory stage.

Qian Quan obviously didn't study as deeply as his father. He followed his own experience in playing chess with Li Zhi and took care of himself.

Set up a "corner" to defend near the corner you occupy.

Dad set up a large formation and began to attack.

At this time, you will find that the black and white pieces on the chessboard suddenly come to life, occupying a position with some intention and calculation, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

There are many terms for attacking and killing moves in Go, such as digging, pinching, standing, point, flail, rolling pack and bag, reverse boot and so on.

Qian Quan has not studied these carefully. Like Li Zhiyi, the basic idea of ​​​​playing Go is to encircle as much territory as possible and capture as many of the opponent's pieces as possible.

The problem is that Li Zhiyi is surrounded by more people than him every time and eats harder than him.

She didn't study Go systematically, nor did she study the classic chess games. She just learned by herself in the process of writing programs according to the rules of Go.

All Go strategies are calculated.

The calculation of 361 intersection points may be too simple for Li Zhiyi.

Qian Quan followed his father's move and just put down the white piece. Ding Linlang, who was watching the game, chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Qian Quan asked.

Ding Linlang shook his head: "Watching the chess without saying a word."

"I suspect you are pretending to be Ding Linlang's ninth degree." Qian Quan teased.

Before he finished speaking, his father ate the white seeds he had just dropped and said happily: "Thirty eyes bloomed in the abdomen."

"What do you mean?" Qian Quan asked.

"It means that if I take advantage of you, it will have a great impact on the subsequent situation, which is equivalent to the value of thirty eyes."

"Eye" refers to the empty intersection surrounded by one side.

"Okay." Qian Quan actually didn't feel anything at all, so he turned to Ding Linlang and said, "You actually understand this?"

"I don't know what uncle is talking about, but I can tell that your pawn will be captured."

"Ha ha……"

Qian Wenlin laughed and said: "We are two rookies, one old and one young, pecking each other, and there is a rookie audience watching happily."

This game naturally ended with dad Qian Wenlin's victory.

Then Qian Wenlin gave Qian Quan and Ding Linlang a popular science on the ten strategies of Go. Never be greedy for victory, enter the realm slowly, attack the other side and look for yourself, abandon your pieces to be first, give up the small one to the big one, give up when in danger, be careful not to

Be light and fast, and move accordingly. He is strong enough to protect himself, and he can gain peace if he is alone.

"From a Go perspective, it's too early for you, including me, to understand this, but the life principles contained in these 'Ten Secrets' are worth savoring," Qian Wenlin said.

Qian Quan and Ding Linlang both nodded and accepted the instruction.

"Dad, can I play another game with you using the new product our company is about to launch?" Qian Quan decided to ask for help.

"What product?"

"AI Go - Sanjiu."
