"Celestial Star" and "Executioner", nicknames that can stop babies from crying, are a very magical thing on the head of a super-first-class chess player.
The nicknames of other chess players are either majestic, such as "cosmic flow"; or beautiful and beautiful, such as "flowing water does not compete"; or full of technology, such as "electronic computer"; or the second blood, such as "fighting souls".
Other people's nicknames are so beautiful, but their own nicknames are bloody, will Masao Kato like it?
He really likes it.
Masao Kato:
"Celestial Star vividly reflects my style of chess, and I personally like this title."
So, how did this bloody nickname, which is unique and has no other semicolon, come about? Why is Masao Kato known as the Killer of Force in the Benge Stream?
Masao Kato, a teenager learning chess at the Kidani Dojo (middle)
Masao Kato was born in the Kidani Dojo and was the most sensible of his brothers when he was a teenager. When learning chess with his brothers, after the training, everyone ran out to play, but Masao Kato would clean up the chess pieces and clean up alone.
In addition to being sensible and not playful, he also showed a meticulous "talent". Yes, isn't it said now that being able to hold sustained concentration is also a gift? Masao Kato has had this talent since he was a child.
It may be this kind of extraordinary concentration that makes him form a straight-line attack and killing style, and when he catches the opponent's weak chess, he chases and fights hard, and pursues him to the end of the world.
From the age of 18 to 28, Masao Kato's style of chess has been vividly demonstrated in countless games. Both Sakata Eiko, who was of the Force War Faction, and Takakawa Katsura, who had a succinct chess style, had suffered losses under his "butcher's knife".
This was the match between Masao Kato and Eio Sakata in the 1969 Battle of Honinbo.
There are many black chess pieces, no weak chess pieces, the first hand is in hand, the white chess time and space are not enough, and there is a lone chess piece in the center. At this point, Black Chess only needs Black 1 to symbolically chase it, and then Black 3 surrounds the edge of the air, and has already won to Java (AI: Black wins 98%, leading 18 mesh).
However, how could Masao Kato's thick-eyed man compromise?
The murderous Masao Kato chose black 1 to touch directly on the bottom right corner of the white chess!
The purpose of this chess seems to be obvious: I just want to encircle the edge to the greatest extent, do you dare to resist? Are you afraid that I will attack you by pressing the lone chess piece in the center?
However, this is only an interpretation of ordinary thinking, and Masao Kato's actual idea is: "The goal of Black 1 is of course to point directly at the white chess pieces above, and if the attack is successful, it will definitely be a big victory." ”
When I first typed the score and saw this, it was messy...
In the face of black 1, white 2, 4 this ordinary method is definitely not OK, by the black 5 turned up, the right side is really empty, white chess can go home to wash and sleep.
However, others are threatening to take advantage of the situation, and Kato Masao knows that the opponent will not let himself be surrounded, so he waits for the opponent to fight back, and then kills the dragon!
Sakata Einan White 2 wrench, black 3 consecutive wrench is another hand of "heartbreaker".
This chess type, even beginners can see, how to eat white chess in the A position?
White 4 dozen, 6 eat, black chess could have been empty of the side generation is gone.
At such a high price, what does Black Chess really want to do?
Black 1 fights from here! Seeing this, everyone must understand.
However, when he saw black 3, 5, and 7, and made a lossy chess piece to force the abandonment, that is, to kill the central white chess, he still couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Kato Masa's black chess.
Who is Eio Sakata? Before Zhao Zhixun, he was the best at curing orphans in the slits. Later, this piece of white chess did not die, but under the struggle between left and right, the white chess piece still lost.
But the problem is that the black chess piece originally won the flight around the air, but Masao Kato made a thrilling operation, and the chess was not killed and almost overturned, is it really necessary?
Masao Kato:
"When I was young, as soon as I saw the opponent's weak chess, I had to attack with all my strength and fight to win or lose, which was such an extreme style of chess."
There are more extreme examples. The following game is 1976 in which Masao Kato takes black against Tomosai Fujisawa.
Fujisawa Tomosai, whose original name was Fujisawa Kunosuke, was also a "Hercules" when he was young, and was the first nine-dan japanese after World War II, that is, the famous unlucky child who was demoted two levels by Wu Qingyuan with a dozen chess pieces.
However, Masao Kato, a new generation of "executioners", met the "Hercules" of his predecessors, and he was not at all polite.
Black 1 is just a cover, and the black 3 and 5 towns are the real purpose.
Seeing this, it seems quite normal, oppressing white chess, expanding the periphery of the big picture, Kato Masao Is not quite a big picture?
However, after black 3 town, white 4 fly, black 5 re town, white 6 and then jump, where do you think the black chess will be played?
Since they have even gone to the town twice, the normal people's thinking must be that the black 1 continues to the town and blocks all the periphery.
White 2, 4 contact had no choice, but after the black 3 pressure black 5 flew again, the entire center to the right half of the plate black pressure a piece, feel that the white chess piece can already be a hammer.
Such a good overall idea, why not enjoy it?
However, how could Masao Kato be so big, and guess what he would do, you guess...
Black 1 jumps back and cuts off your way home! Please come and break my big void, I'm going to eat you!
White 2 obviously jumped out, Black 3 flew, closed his pocket far away, and said, "The right half of the plate is my home, you are dead." ”
Wait until the white 4 flies again, and the black chess side is also broken, the black chess is not in a hurry to search the root of 5 and 7, and then the black 9 is the first town, to completely annihilate the white chess!
To be honest, but anyone who has a little chess strength, I am afraid that I dare not kill so hard, such an empty and loose periphery, how can I kill such a large piece of chess?
However, Masao Kato of that era was this style of chess. Big picture? Win by the air? inexistent.
For this game of fujisawa tomosai, Masao Kato did not kill this white chess piece, but the opponent was angry and nervous by this excessive attack, and one did not pay attention to himself or collapsed...
That's it, although straight-line hunting is an excessive chess move, but the opponent is intimidated by Masao Kato's killing spirit, and he is really killed when he is nervous, and there are many such things.
For example, in 1970, Masao Kato played this game of chess against Katsura Takakawa.
Black 1 when the first town, blockade attack. As long as the white chess pieces are thickened under the work, the black chess pieces grab the first hand and then block the upper right white chess pieces, and the entire outer space will rise.
However, you know, how can Masao Kato's match have such a plot...
Black 1 wrenched a son, do not let the white chess easily do the work, but it is normal measure.
However, under the white 8, the black chess has actually made a lot of profits, and it is time to close.
Can Kato Masao kill together, no longer have to be pure:
Black 1 direct point kill!
After the white 4 is glued, the right side of the black chess piece has been damaged. However, not afraid, Masao Kato was never afraid of losing the air: "As long as you die, won't it all be my empty?" ”
After Black 5 made preparations, Black 7 went straight out to kill White Chess.
White 1 and 3 broke through the air, and then White 5 backhand blocked, this piece of chess is actually not so easy to die. Black 6 rushed out directly, and the knife technique was very direct.
White 1, 3, 5 early, black chess peripheral is full of problems, can you really kill white chess?
Next, the black 4 point stab blockade, the black 6 step back to maintain the encirclement, the black 8 is ready, the black 10 directly flying cover, that is, to wrap all the white chess pieces into it.
And guess what? The white chess piece is really all dead.
It is said that after the game, Takakawa took a long time in his mouth and muttered: "Obviously there is only one weak piece of chess, how can I die..."
In fact, after research, it was found that this white chess piece could not be killed.
However, in the tense atmosphere of actual combat, Masao Kato "held a machete" step by step, and the opponent was really killed in a panic under the pressure of his momentum.
Masao Kato
Around the 1970s, Masao Kato's style of chess attracted great attention from the chess world.
However, it is precisely because this straight-line attack is too extreme, and if it is not successful, it will become a ren. Therefore, although the young Masao Kato is strong and talented, he is still only at the tail of the crane of first-class chess players.
From 1969 to 1975, Masao Kato, who was in his 20s, reached the final of the tournament eight times, but all of them lost, and won the "Eight Consecutive Asia".
It was not until 1975 that Masao Kato reflected on his extreme style of chess, gradually strengthening his control of proportions, although it was still a style of attack, but it was more comfortable. So he finally won the championship and climbed to the top of the chess world.
Killing chess is a big hobby in Go, but it is also necessary to know that just it is easy to fold.
Masao Kato's chess style can make fans like it so much, probably because ordinary people can't do such extreme fierceness!
