[Soul of Chess] What if

"..."

Ah Guang stared blankly at the intertwined chess pieces on the board, and whispered in disbelief: "I lost... 12 and a half eyes?"

Ah Guang has never lost.At least every day, he would be tortured to pieces by Zuo Wei... == He also had a black star when he was training as a student.

However, it was the first time that he lost such a big gap in the game against his peers.It's impossible to say that he doesn't feel a trace of frustration in his heart now.

Thinking that there are still many peers in the Go world who may be several times better than this person, I can't help but feel a little dazed about the future of Ah Guang.

Are the choices I'm making right now?Do I have the talent to play Go?

He wants to know the answer.Want it so so much.Yet he fears the truth is the last thing he wants.

After Ah Guang finally recovered from his disappointment, he suddenly realized that the other party was still waiting for him to say that sentence.

Thinking that it was all because of him that the opponent was forced to play chess with him who was not good at chess for such a long time, Ah Guang felt a little more apologetic.Even though it was clear that the other party couldn't hear his voice, he still apologized sincerely, then lowered his head and saluted the other party seriously: "Thank you for your advice."

After the other party returned the gift, the two began to quietly arrange the pieces on the chessboard.After all the chess pieces were put back into the chess jar, Ah Guang greeted the opponent slightly, and then left his seat.

After walking a few steps, Ah Guang stopped and looked around slightly.At this time, everyone was focused on the chessboard in front of them, and only the sound of chess playing could be heard in the huge room. It seemed that the seminar would continue for a while longer.

Because he knew that the people who came to participate in the research meeting were not ordinary people, Ah Guang felt embarrassed to have to work hard for other people to play against himself with such poor strength.

Hmm... In that case, let's take this opportunity to study the chess game we just played.After making up his mind, he walked towards the side of the room.

This is an unobtrusive corner, and there is also a chessboard and chess pieces that no one is using, which just meets Ah Guang's needs.

After sitting down, Ah Guang gently opened the lid of the chess box, and then arranged the chess game just now on the chessboard.

With the movement of the fingertips, the appearance of black and white chess gradually unfolded, and the thoughts of the battle were awakened a little bit.

After the white chess fell to the six of 17, Zuo Wei waited for a long time but did not see any movement from Ah Guang, so he looked at Ah Guang curiously, and saw that Ah Guang was biting his lower lip and staring sadly at the chessboard.

"Ah Guang..." He couldn't help calling softly.

Hearing his own voice, Ah Guang turned his eyes naturally.Seeing his appearance at the moment, Ah Guang smiled reassuringly: "Zuo Wei, don't show such an expression. You must know that I have been abused by you countless times, and I have already developed immunity, so I don't want to Will get into a dead end because of a game of chess. :)”

"I was just thinking, if I didn't worry so much at the time, maybe I wouldn't have lost so badly..."

Having said this, Ah Guang's tone of voice subconsciously lowered a bit, and the corners of his barely raised mouth were slightly curved.It's just that he himself didn't seem to be aware of this, but said nonchalantly: "At that time, I should fight bravely with the opponent. Maybe even if the opponent really got off Xiao Fei as the opponent wished, the damage caused may be even greater than what it is now. Want to be smaller..."

"That's not the case." Before Ah Guang finished speaking, Zuo Wei couldn't help but say, "It's the most unwise thing to choose to throw yourself into the trap when you know the other party's intentions. Although the broken hand It made black lose a bit in the later stage, but it is not a bad move, let alone the root cause of black's defeat, isn't it?"

Hearing Zuo Wei's slightly harsh tone, Ah Guang was stunned.In order to wake up Ah Guang from his current state, even though he couldn't bear it, Zuo Wei continued cruelly: "Because Ah Guang's three bad moves in the middle game are fatal!"

Ah Guang did not expect that Zuo Wei would so mercilessly analyze the fact that he was trying to escape so bluntly.

That's right, Ah Guang is actually very clear that the reason why he lost, or by such a huge gap, was not because of his lack of strength, nor was there any serious mistake in the chess moves he had thought hard before, the real reason for his fiasco was the It was the three consecutive bad moves that I played under the influence of emotions.

Bai's excessive moves gave Ah Guang a chance to turn the situation around, and he also relied on his tenacious fighting to successfully gain the upper hand while putting Bai in trouble.

The smooth progress made his spirit a little slack, so that his judgment on the current situation was too optimistic.He didn't notice when Black 59 fell, and he didn't realize his mistake until White came over.

The panic of playing the wrong chess and the urgency to remedy the situation were intertwined, which made Ah Guang lose his composure, and hastily transferred his troops to the upper left corner without seriously examining the current situation.After the top of the white piece, he failed to distinguish the priorities, but only focused on getting the solid ground in the upper left corner.As a result, Black not only lost the opportunity to attack and defend in the upper left corner, but also opened the prelude to his own defeat.

Seeing the change in Ah Guang's expression, he realized that he had gradually calmed down, so Zuo Wei suggested: "Hey, Ah Guang, try again. I will play against you instead of that person, maybe this time Ah Guang can You have found a way for Black to survive by yourself."

"Zuowei, you just want to play chess yourself-_-||" Although he said so, Aguang still moved his fingers without hesitation, until the chess game from black 1 to white 58 reappeared in front of their eyes.

Ah Guang took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, then propped his chin and looked at the chessboard in front of him seriously.

When Aguang focused on analyzing the situation, Zuowei just watched quietly from the side. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... The time passed by like this, but Ah Guang still didn't move at all.Even so, Zuo Wei still didn't make a sound to disturb.

It wasn't until Ah Guang hesitantly dropped the sunspot on Lu Zhi Si that a gratified smile appeared on Zuo Wei's face.

Zuo Wei silently announced the correct answer with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Realizing that his judgment was not wrong, the original uneasiness in Ah Guang's heart dissipated immediately.Seeing that Zuo Wei pointed the handle of the fan at 6-[-], he immediately took out a chess piece from the chess jar containing white pieces and placed it on that position.

White's chess here should be to disconnect the black pieces. At this time, I should use sticky to connect the black pieces together, so that white can't cut off the black pieces.A Guang thought about it, and made a move on 6-[-].

The rest of the process went much smoother.When White chooses to draw Black's stones, Black can go to 2-[-] and switch to White's four stones. In this way, Black will not lose money.

"What if I didn't fight, but went here?" Zuo Wei said, pointing at 2 of [-] with his folding fan.

"Hmm..." Ah Guang replied after pondering for a long while, "In this way, although White can play in the upper left corner, Black can get the 6-[-] position. When White has to make up the chess, Black can get the initiative expansion under."

After hearing Ah Guang's clear answer, Zuo Wei nodded approvingly, and then continued: "Ah Guang, now please put the first two questions that arise during the game on the chessboard, and then observe carefully to see what is happening here. In this case, whether black can turn the situation around."

Does it mean that even if there are two problem hands, I still have a chance of winning?

Although he was skeptical about this, Ah Guang still placed the chess pieces according to the words, and then tried to find a way for the black chess to survive according to Zuo Wei's intention.

Unfortunately, Ah Guang thought for a long time, but still had no clue.Seeing Aguang frowning tightly and looking confused, Zuowei reminded: "There is only Tesuji here."

Ah!

With this reminder from Zuo, Aguang finally saw the way: Black’s 6 of 6 is crowded by Tesuji, so White can only rush at 65 of 66.When black breaks 68, although white 69 hits and 71 points are good players, but black 79 hits and 1 pulls can resist.Even if White resists tenaciously, after Black [-] makes an eye at [-] of [-], the upper left corner will evolve into a complicated battle for ko, which is Black's only way to survive.

Although he didn't discover it entirely by his own strength, Ah Guang still felt extremely excited, and even his eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Seeing Aguang's childish appearance, Zuo Wei smiled dotingly, gently moved the folding fan in his hand, and accompanied Aguang in this unique way of life.
