Soul of Chess: Buy the chessboard from Shi Guangjia at the beginning of the game

Chapter 45 No.40 Fifth Bureau
From Nie Xuanfeng's point of view, every time Tian Min made a slow move or made a wrong move, he often kept his face open, devised a way to change his mind, or made Yu Liang confused by deceptive wild ways. Lost and sometimes earned.

However, when Yu Liang makes a bad choice and Tian Min seizes the opportunity to attack, his expression tends to tense, and the muscles on his face are a little unnatural, and his body will not relax until the situation is finalized.

When the two played 180 moves, the chessboard was still chaotic. The two had four or five pieces of chess biting together. It seemed that there were battles everywhere, and there seemed to be opportunities everywhere.

But Tian Min suddenly made a move to remove the edge, which made Yu Liang a little unexpected.

Nie Xuanfeng's eyes lit up, this move has a sense of balance.

If you want to highly summarize the intellectual competitive game of Go, you can use these three words: calculation, judgment, and choice.But if you want to use one word to sum up Go, it must be "balanced".

Nie Xuanfeng paid great attention to the feeling of chess players, which is why he has the reputation of being invincible within fifty moves.

Tian Min seized an initiative with this move, but as for whether this initiative is considered urgent, it is difficult to judge, it depends on the subsequent use.The value of this kind of chess is often unclear at the beginning.

But Tian Min soon proved the value of this move. After 20 moves, black gave up his somewhat thin-smelling chess on the left side, and connected the upper right corner of the chessboard into one piece through two transitional moves. Formed a thick trend.

Now the first hand to dismantle the three has become particularly important.

Yu Liang was naturally unwilling to give up such a big position, so he immediately made a stab.

This chess move has the meaning of trying to master it.

Relying on its strength, the black chess seems to have seized an area and has some appearance, but it is also full of loopholes, and it seems that there are opportunities for successful strikes everywhere.

But Tian Min first played one-handed chess, and continued to defend to lure White to continue to invest in two-handed chess.

Then he stepped up and moved down, which made Yu Liang very annoyed. The white chess here invested a lot and was a little reckless, and now there is no way to retreat.

Yu Liang likes to dig into the details in his chess style, and the side of picking the number of meshes has the upper hand, and he invests more and more here.

Tian Min, on the other hand, had an advantage in fighting, and naturally played with ease, within 30 moves, the aftertaste of the chessboard was eliminated, Tian Min won a complete victory, and Yu Liang had no choice but to concede.

After a game of chess, the two of them looked at Nie Xuanfeng, not knowing what tricks this senior played.

Nie Xuanfeng was not in a hurry, but pointed to the chessboard, signaling for the two to resume the game.

During the layout stage, Nie Xuanfeng first found out some of the two people's tesuji that were not established, and if they played differently, they might suffer losses, and then continuously pointed out the places where Tian Min was anxious or slow in the transition.

Sometimes a move late means investing one more pawn, and the effect is naturally not high;

Tian Min listened to the opinions of famous experts and benefited a lot.

After the review was over, the two stopped talking and looked at Nie Xuanfeng again.

This time Nie Xuanfeng didn't procrastinate any longer, he first motioned to the dojo teacher at the side, took out a folding fan he had brought, and handed it to Yu Liang.

"Yu Liang, send my regards to your father and wish him a successful start in this year's World Championship!" Nie Xuanfeng said politely.

Yu Liang wasn't upset either. The two had communicated before, and they didn't seem to be very interested in the matter of being apprenticed to Nie Xuanfeng. After reaching out to accept the gift, Yu Liang left immediately.

Now it was Tian Min's turn to be stunned. He never thought that Nie Xuanfeng really planned to take in his disciples.

Until Nie Xuanfeng said, "Minze, your chess content is very good, and your performance in the past is also very good. I intend to accept you as my inner disciple. Now that I have more time, I plan to guide you well. What do you think?" ?”

Tian Min originally came to the capital, and he just planned to maintain a good state, but he was suddenly accepted as an apprentice, and he was a little caught off guard.

"This may not be suitable for me to be your inner disciple," Tian Min said hesitantly.

Nie Xuanfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "Where does it not fit?"

"I may not develop in Kyoto, I don't like the weather here!" Tian Min said first.

"No problem," Nie Xuanfeng agreed without hesitation, "Now that technology is so advanced, it's all online games, no matter where you are, just take part in the daily seminars via video!"

"Uh," Tian Min continued, "I like to have fun, so I can't limit myself to playing chess every day. I hope to become a different Go player!"

"Pursue fame and fortune," Nie Xuanfeng said, "There's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself, but you have to know that winning chess can make your reputation go further. No one likes chasing after a chess player who always loses. "

Tian Min was a little helpless, and continued, "I like to play vulgar moves, and there are other chess that my husband scolded, you won't let me play some threes!"

There is an interesting allusion here. It is said that the Honinbo family is the most famous in the Japanese chess world. This family does not allow disciples to play three threes. If they play this move, they will be expelled from the family.

As a result, when they played against each other, Mr. Wu came up with a three-three-star-Tianyuan layout, which broke the stereotype of thinking in one fell swoop and gradually let go of the shackles on the chess players.

Nie Xuanfeng laughed naturally, "I don't have so many rules, what I teach you is chess theory, whichever you like to play!"

Tian Min said helplessly, "Mr. Nie, why did you think of accepting me as a disciple?"

Nie Xuanfeng said positively, "Minze, your thinking is very flexible and open, and you have a lively and aggressive side on the chessboard. I am stunned by the many newcomers. In addition, you are also somewhat intelligent, and the students in the dojo all comment on you. very high."

Finally, Nie Xuanfeng said, "At the same time, I should also accept a disciple from Anhui Province."

Looking at Tian Min, he was a little puzzled.

Nie Xuanfeng smiled, "My mentor is also from Wan Province, so I hope you can revive Wan Province Go!"

Nie Xuanfeng's teacher is Guo Lao in "South Liu Bei Guo", Guo Lao is a descendant of Guo Bailing, a famous chess player in the late Ming Dynasty, and he is a native of Anhui Province.

Tian Min scratched his head, not expecting such a relationship.

Seeing that Tian Min hadn't moved, Nie Xuanfeng had no choice but to make a phone call and say a few words.

After turning on the speakerphone, the voice of my father Tian Jiangfei came from the other end of the phone, "Tian Minze, what are you thinking? Teacher Nie accepting you as an apprentice is a rare opportunity for many people. Hurry up and give me an apprenticeship."

Nie Xuanfeng looked at Tian Minze mockingly, and said in his heart, "Fortunately, I was prepared, you boy should be honest and apprentice!"

Two days later, Nie Xuanfeng held a grand apprentice acceptance ceremony at his home Xuanfeng Dojo. Not only all the nine-dan players from Kuwahara in Kyoto were present, but also many celebrities from all walks of life came. Nie Xuanfeng is worthy of being a big boss in Kyoto.

Tian Min respectfully served a cup of tea, which was regarded as a formal apprenticeship.

Nie Xuanfeng told reporters that his future focus will be on cultivating talents, and he will recruit a few more young chess players as real disciples to contribute to the inheritance of the Go business.
