Whether it is a professional master or an amateur chess player, the layout stage must look at the overall situation and choose a reasonable direction. But it is easier said than done, and the profundity of Go makes many layout points difficult to choose, and even first-class professional chess players will miss the main points unconsciously.
Let's look at today's situation map -
As shown in the figure, Bai Xian
Very solid, traditional start, full of age. Now it is the turn of the white chess, how to judge the direction of the situation is very important. There are many good points, but the value is different, A, B, C, D four points, which point do you think is more in line with the current situation?
Attached is the formation process of the situation map
analyse:
It was indeed a "distant" match— thirty years ago, in the fifth game of Japan's 14th Celebrity Challenge, in which defending celebrity Koichi Kobayashi played against challenger Shuzo Awaji on November 1 and 2, 1989.
At that time, Kobayashi Hikari was as good as the sun, defeating Masao Kato 4-1 the previous year to regain the title of celebrity, and at the same time sitting on the titles of Chess Saint and Qisheng, he was the first person in Japan without any doubt. This year's chess holy war, Kobayashi 4-1 big broken Takemiya Masaki, Qi Jihad 3-1 to repulse Toshiya Imamura, all easily defended the title, and the celebrity war ushered in the challenge of "Muddy Stream" Awaji Shuzo.
Shuzo Awaji was born in 1949, three years older than Kobayashi, and is a female chess player under Tomoe Ito. He is good at attacking and killing, with strange strength, although he is not a talented chess player, he has been moving steadily and is the backbone of Japanese Go. Shuzo Awaji has won the Prime Minister's Cup twice, in which young players from 5 dan to 7 dan participate, and has also won two knockout tournaments. In the Seven Great Chess Battles, he won the challenge of the Holy War in 1983, lost 2-3 to Otake Heroes, and in the same year's Tengen Battle, he challenged Satoshi Kataoka and lost 1-3. In 1984, Awaji broke through the circle of the Honinfang Battle and launched a seven-pronged attack on Lin Haifeng, losing 1-4.
After three failed challenges, Awaji lay dormant for five years, and in 1989, he finally emerged in the celebrity battle circle, suppressing Zhao Zhixun, Masaki Takemiya, Masao Kato, Hideyuki Fujisawa, Yoshio Ishida and other big tycoons, tied for the top spot with Lin Haifeng with 6 wins and 2 losses, and defeated Mr. Lin in the overtime to get the celebrity challenge right.
In the first game of seven wins and losses, Shuzo Awaji preemptively defeated Kobayashi Koichi with a unique chess style, which suddenly increased the suspense of the attribution of celebrity titles. However, Kobayashi was the king of the Japanese chess world at that time, and then exerted his strength to go down to three cities in a row, forcing Awaji up the cliff. In the fifth set of match points, can Awaji still fight back? The two sides started smoothly, but the contest of skills has begun. Battle to the situation map, Awaji faces the divergence point of the situation, is his choice of actual combat the best? Let's analyze the four selection points one by one -
Figure 1 Point A
White 1 big fly, hold the upper position, this is the key point of the current situation, can not be missed. In this case, the situation is on an equal footing, and the white chess is at least not bad.
Black 2 hits the bottom is to see the good points, white 3 below the battle, because of the existence of the white chess position above, the white chess may be in the middle of the abdomen is a large empty, the chess game is long.
Figure 2 Point C
White 1 shoulder rush, the local is definitely a good point, but the direction is a bit reversed.
Black 2 and 4 are just right in length.
Black 6 flies, expanding the lower right while attacking the two sons of the white chess piece, and indirectly invading the top of the white chess piece.
This is a composition that White Chess is not satisfied with.
Figure 3 point D
The white 1 guard is also a hand that attracts attention, but the value above is greater at this time.
Black 2 shoulder rush invasion, to black 8, white chess has been difficult to attack, the overall situation, black chess field dominant.
There are also doubts about the lower method of the actual Awaji Shuzo -
Figure 4 Point B (Practical Diagram)
The white 1 jump is also a way to expand the upper part, but it is not suitable at this time.
Because with white 1, black 2 choose to go far all the way to invasion, appropriate proportions.
If Bai Qi follows, the efficiency is not high, and the Awaji White 3 is hard to attack with the scalp.
Black 4 below the tengling technique is skilled.
Black 12 jumps, 14 lean, the white chess attack has been disintegrated, black chess mastered the direction of the chess game.
Then Awaji Shuzo took 1 hour and 13 minutes, helplessly giving up the attack on the black chess, and first went thick to the top left. Kobayashi quickly turned to counterattack, and Bai Qi became the defendant.
Awaji under the disadvantage loses his mind and is severely attacked by Kobayashi——
Figure 5 (Endgame)
The black 1 tip is the one hand that determines the victory.
The counterattack below white 2 is unreasonable, but it can only be won and lost in this way.
Black 9 or less good combinations, carried out to black 17 digging, white chess has collapsed.
Awaji threw in the towel.
In just 97 hands, Kobayashi koichi surrendered Shuzo Awaji and successfully defended the celebrity title 4-1. At that time, Kobayashi firmly controlled the three titles of chess saint, celebrity, and qi sheng, and was invincible in the Japanese chess world, and the only person who could make Kobayashi feel frustrated was Zhao Zhixun, the "lifelong love enemy".
Shuzo Awaji once again attacked the seven chess battles without success. That year, Awaji was 40 years old, did not become a celebrity, doomed him to be content with the identity of "first-class chess player", and had no luck with "super first-class". After failing to reach the peak of the shock and never being able to step onto the challenge stage of the Seven Great Chess Battles, Shuzo Awaji discovers that the real mud is actually under his feet.
