One of the rules of Go is that "you can eat the child when you surround it", but in this rule, there is a special rule called "robbery".
This figure is the "robbery" chess type. After black 1, the white a seed is surrounded, and then the black chess piece can pull out the a bit. If the white chess piece is in the a position at this time, the black 1 seed can also be pulled out, so that it can be restored to its original state. If this cycle continues, the game of chess will be endless.
At this time, there is a rule that "after mentioning it, it cannot be immediately mentioned back". After black 1 eats white chess, white chess cannot immediately eat black chess in turn, and this time needs to be played elsewhere. If the other party follows suit, the white chess piece can be raised back in the a position.
The word robbery does not seem to be an auspicious word, and once a robbery occurs, a dangerous situation will inevitably form in the situation. If you get it wrong, you may lose it all. Whether professional or amateur, many chess players do not like to rob. On the contrary, some first-class chess players take "good at robbery" as their own mark.
Sure enough, when we think about chess, we basically think "if I play like this, the opponent will play this way", and we all think at the beat of "1.2, 1.2". The evaluation of the chess game is also "there is a gap between his own hand and the opponent's chess hand.". That is to say, the robbery of "1·2" between oneself and one's opponent is the rhythm of the march.
However, once you have pulled out the robbery, you need to spend another hand of chess to "dissolve". The characteristic of robbery is that "it takes 3 hands to solve the problem". Then, when calculating, it is also in 1 robbery, 2 opponents should be robbed, and 3 robberies are pulled back. In this way, the rhythm of "1·2·3" and "1·2·3" is the rhythm of "Waltz".
In the movie "Tin Drum", there is a scene depicting the army moving forward in the march, when the protagonist uses the drum to beat the rhythm of the waltz, the soldiers' footsteps become chaotic, and finally everyone begins to dance.
Once the robbery starts, we need to change from two beats to three beats, so there are some people who can't cope with it and it's helpless. So when it comes to robbery, instead of being afraid of mistakes, it is better to try to use the rhythm of waltz and follow the feeling.
