Essential knowledge of go entry

Women in China are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, among which Go is still deeply loved by people. How much do you know about Go? Today, I will introduce you to the basic knowledge of Go, and explain the chessboard and terminology of Go.

Introduction to go

The ever-changing art of Go has an enduring charm, which is why it has been popular for thousands of years. Weiqi is a traditional game in China, which was widely circulated as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Many talented Weiqi masters emerged in every dynasty, and many touching and beautiful Weiqi stories circulated. These are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people in China. Let me tell you something about Go.

As a science, Weiqi can develop intelligence, enlighten thinking, exercise mind and cultivate sentiment to the maximum extent. In the game of Go, there are both creative thinking and logical thinking. Can enhance mechanical memory and understanding memory, can improve people's computing ability.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Weiqi was listed as a sports event, and the National Weiqi Championship was held from 65438 to 0957, and a number of outstanding Weiqi players emerged. They have achieved excellent results in international and domestic competitions, among which Chen Zude and Nie Weiping are two typical players.

Chen Zude Jiu Duan

He was China's Weiqi master in 1960s, and dominated China chess for more than ten years. He is the first chess player to beat Japan's Jiuduan in a pairing condition. He is the main creator of the famous "China Stream" layout at home and abroad, and has written many valuable academic works on Weiqi. Although he quit the first line of Go due to illness in recent years, his contribution to the cause of Go in China is enormous. Comrade Chen Zude is currently the main person in charge of the Chinese Weiqi Association.

Nie Weiping Jiu Duan

He is a well-known sports star in China and has defeated Japan's "super-first-class" Jiu Duan many times. In the Sino-Japanese Weiqi competition, he turned the tide and defeated a series of Japanese Weiqi masters, such as Kobayashi Kuanyijiu Duan, Fujizawa Hedeyuki Jiu Duan, Masaki Takemiya Jiu Duan and Masao Kato Jiu Duan, and won honor for the motherland. 1983 was awarded the "Medal of Sports Honor" by the State Sports Commission, and now it is awarded the title of "Chess Saint". He is currently the head coach of the national Go team. Nie Weiping's success pushed China's Go level to a new stage.

The population of Go in China is tens of millions, and there is an obvious upward trend. But there are only about 200 professional players. What is a professional player? Professional players are also called "professional players". All chess players who play chess as their profession, serve various Weiqi institutions or sports teams, have received formal Weiqi technical training, have a solid foundation in Weiqi, and often participate in major competitions at home and abroad are called professional chess players.

In addition to professional players, players or players who engage in Go activities in their spare time are called "amateur players". Their main characteristics are: generally, they don't take Go as their main occupation, have no formal training (or have only received it for a short time), and usually don't participate in professional chess games.

Whether professional or amateur, how can we measure their chess skills? In the world of Go in China and Japan, and in the world of Go in Europe and America, "rank system" and "rank system" are now implemented. The level of the stage is an important symbol of a player's technical level. In China, the stage is divided into nine grades, from nine to one according to the level of strength, with nine being the highest. A paragraph is also called the first paragraph. Obtaining the title of the first stage shows that the chess skill has reached a certain level, so the chess power of the ninth stage should be about two or three times that of the first stage. The above refers to the professional stage.

The above is a brief introduction to the history of Go, famous players and the level of Go. For those who don't know Weiqi, it seems unfathomable, but it is not. Go is easy to learn. As long as the reader carefully understands the content of this tutorial and completes the exercises and the exercises, he will gradually master the basic essentials of Go and become a very good chess player step by step.

Weiqi chessboard

A square or slightly rectangular plan. Now the chessboard draws 19 parallel lines vertically and horizontally on the plane, forming 36 1 intersections. In order to determine the position of each point on the chessboard conveniently, coordinate method is used to number, and horizontal lines are numbered first from top to bottom in Chinese characters. 19 road, vertical lines are numbered with Arabic numerals from left to right 1? 19 road. When recording, explaining or teaching, the order of first vertical and then horizontal shall prevail.

It should be noted that there are no numerical marks on the general chessboard and the chessboard in the official competition, and the numbers in figure 1 are only marked in the chess manual for the convenience of point-by-point explanation or easy search. There are nine black spots on the chessboard called "stars", and the black spot in the center of the chess is called "Tianyuan", which has no other special significance.

The nine parts on the chessboard are only roughly divided, and there are no strict boundaries, so here is only a general explanation. The content and rules of chess are not directly related to the status of chess in the stars or Tianyuan. Constellation and Tianyuan are just the coordinates of the chessboard. Each side of the chessboard is called the first line (or the first line), the line next to the first line is called the second line, and then moved to the middle is called the third line (the third line), the fourth line (the fourth line) and so on. Generally, simple chessboards can be made of cardboard or plastic, but the regular chessboards used in competitions are all made of wood products.

Chess pieces of Go

The chess pieces in Go are divided into black and white and round in shape. There are 18 1 black chess and 180 white chess in the official competition. At the crossing point of the board in Go, the sum of two colored pieces should be equal to this number. The relationship between chessboard and chess pieces is the closest, and this problem is more complicated. Let's define the concept first and then explain it later.

The number of commonly used chess pieces is not specified by very precise figures. One hundred and sixty to one hundred and seventy dollars for all colors is enough, and it doesn't matter if you have more or less.

Go terminology

Long term existence

"Long" refers to the chess that continues to extend forward next to the existing chess pieces on the board. There are subtle differences between "Li" and "Dragon". "Li" mainly refers to the chess that moves down or to the sideline near the original board. In some cases, a chess game can be said to be both "long" and "vertical", and "vertical" and "long" have certain relativity.

close

"Guan" refers to playing chess with the original pieces on the chessboard.

rush

"Chong" refers to putting one's original chess piece down to the empty intersection in the middle of the opponent's "Guan" shape on the chessboard, which is called "Chong". "Chong" is often to use one's strong side to block opponents, divide opponents' chess into two pieces, and help find opportunities to destroy opponents.
