MTL - Dad, Please Try a Little Harder

  Chapter 133 Go: Father and Son Game!

   "Stand upright with your feet together, your hands hanging by your legs, your eyes looking forward, your tongue on your palate..."

  Guangming Furniture Store, on the third floor, Qian Quan is teaching his classmates Wing Chun Xiao Nim Tou.

  Compared to practicing calligraphy, everyone is obviously more interested in this.

  Of course, judging from the experience of Qian Quan, if these students are enrolled in martial arts classes, then they are likely to be interested in calligraphy.

  Children, what they play is the sense of rebellious misplacement.

   "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 to show everyone.

   One thing to say, sometimes, fame and teaching level are not directly proportional.

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

  Fortunately, Qian Quan has the experience of coaching basketball, plus his kung fu has already been practiced to the level of returning to the basics, and he has the ability to watch people's attention. He is still able to teach a few children with ease.

  When the first one finished teaching, he also had a preliminary impression of the talents and savvy of the students.

  That little boy named Chu Yan is indeed the best material for martial arts among them.

   What's even more rare is that he has a good appearance, and there is a pure aura in his body, which fits the connotation requirements of Xiao Nian Tao.

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

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

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

   "It seems that this summer vacation can be dedicated to a martial arts training class." Qian Wenlin saw the enthusiasm of the students so high.

   “If they had been specially trained, they might not have loved it so much.”

  Qian Wenlin didn’t know this, and nodded: “I’ll just say casually, the training class in the summer vacation is also Go.”

   "Uncle, how is your Go learning?" Ding Linlang asked.

"I tried it on the Internet, and it should have the level of an amateur third or fourth dan, but this is not convincing, and I still need to get a dan certificate..." I said with a sudden self-deprecating smile. Come teach."

   "Why?" Qian Quan asked.

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

   "Is there no age limit for Go rating?"

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

  Ding Linlang and Qian Quan imagined the scene and laughed.

  Ding Linlang added: "What if that elementary school student signs up for our training class in order to further improve his chess skills and participate in higher-level competitions, and then sees that it is uncle, you come to teach him..."

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

   Said, regretting: "We used to pay too much attention to the study of cultural subjects, and didn't send you to learn any extracurricular skills. Go, violin, piano, painting, and dancing are also not learned..."

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

   Said, pointing to Qian Quan: "Qian Quan also secretly practiced kung fu."

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

  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, but is there also online competition?"

   "Well, from level 12 to level 10 are all online. You can play against robots. After passing the level, you can be graded. After level 9, you will play offline."

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

   "That doesn't make much sense anymore."

   "That's right," Qian Quan nodded, "But if you can pass the exam, you can make a point of occasionally tutoring those introductory 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 game." Qian Quan suggested.

  Qian Wenlin naturally agreed.

   In chess, he is no longer his son's opponent.

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

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

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

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

  Hand movements are a bit like the orchid fingers in operas, highlighting a casual and elegant look.

   Of course, in a real game, when there are considerable prize money and reputation in front, leisure is definitely out of the question.

  Go also has a guessing etiquette before a game.

   That is to say, the lower hand should grab a number of white stones, and one or two black stones should be taken out by oneself to indicate the odd or even number of white stones.

   Guessing first is generally done by those with higher ranks and seniors.

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

  In general, there are more details of Go etiquette.

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

   In order to test the "Three Nines" and play chess with Li Zhiyi, Qian Quan specially learned these things online.

  After he and his dad guessed first, Dad played black first.

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

  In "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", Huangmei monk and Duan Yanqing played chess, in order to get the upper hand, they did not hesitate to chop off a toe, which can be proved.

  However, in the current Go game, in order to balance the advantage of Heizi's first move, the rules of posting are added.

  To put it simply, when calculating the outcome of a chess game, the side holding black chess pieces must post 3.75 pieces, and then calculate.

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

   That is to say, if black wants to win the game, it must occupy more than 184.25 (ie 185) intersections to win.

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

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

  This layout is grand and active, 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 is still in the experimentation and bluffing of this game, as for how to effectively connect with subsequent attacks and kills, it is still in the exploratory stage.

  Qian Quan is obviously not as deep as his father, following his experience of doing whatever he wants when playing games with Li Zhiyi, he takes care of himself.

  Defend with a "corner" near the corner you occupy.

  Dad set up a big formation and started 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 kind of intention and calculation, waiting for the opportunity to attack and kill.

  Go attack and kill moves, there are many terms, such as digging, clamping, standing, pointing, yoke, rolling and packing, and taking off boots and so on.

  Qian Quan has not seriously studied these things. Like Li Zhiyi, his basic idea of ​​playing Go is to encircle as much territory as possible and take as many pieces as possible from the opponent.

  The problem is that Li Zhiyi surrounds him more and eats worse than him every time.

  She didn't study Go systematically, nor did she study those classic chess games. She learned Go without a teacher in the process of writing programs against 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 to make a move, and Ding Linlang, who was watching the chess from the sidelines, chuckled lightly just as he put down the white piece.

   "What are you laughing at?" Qian Quan asked.

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

   "I suspect that you are pretending to be Ding Linlang Jiuduan." Qian Quan teased.

   Before he finished speaking, Dad ate the white stones he had just dropped, and said happily: "Thirty meshes of flowers bloom in the middle belly."

   "What do you mean?" Qian Quan asked.

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

  “目” refers to a blank intersection surrounded by one side.

   "Okay." Qian Quan didn't feel much, and turned to Ding Linlang and said, "You also understand this?"

   "I don't know what uncle is talking about, but I can see that your chess piece will be eaten."

"Ha ha…"

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

   This round naturally ended with Dad Qian Wenlin winning a big victory.

Then Qian Wenlin gave Qian Quan and Ding Linlang a popularization of the ten Go tactics, from not being greedy for victory, slowing down when entering the boundary, attacking the opponent and taking care of yourself, abandoning the small to be the first, giving up the small to be big, giving up when in danger, and being cautious. Light and fast, responsive to movement, strong in self-protection, and harmonious in strength.

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

  Qian Quan and Ding Linlang both nodded.

   "Dad, shall I play another game with you with the new product that our company will launch soon?" Qian Quan decided to ask for help.

"What product?"

   "AI Go - Sanjiu."
