Chapter 86 The Genius of Reverse Practice

Chapter 86 The Genius of Reverse Practice

After typing these five words, Ni Jue sighed softly, then leaned back on his computer chair and began to do a simple review of the game.

Objectively speaking, he was holding back in this game - he didn't use any of the flying knives in his arsenal.

Of course, you can’t go out.

I used one last time, and it ended up being taken away by this little junior sister.

This was an open game, not an important one, so it was impossible for him to waste his research results here.

Therefore, he focused on his own skills throughout the game and responded to all kinds of changes without making mistakes.

And this is enough.

For the sport of Go, not making mistakes is itself an extremely powerful ability.

Although Ni Jue obtained the dual titles of [Celebrity] and [Tianyuan] mainly due to his various research results.

But leaving all that aside, he is also a genuine ninth-dan master, and his chess-playing stability is far beyond the reach of mid- and low-dan players.

Like in the previous game, Rui Zhao only had some problems with two moves in the layout stage, but he seized the opportunity decisively and established an advantage in one fell swoop.

If he had not been a little careless afterwards and misjudged the white chess's intention, he would have almost forced Rui Zhao to admit defeat a hundred moves in advance.

but……

Although this junior sister is still far behind me, she has made obvious progress in just half a month.

In the last game when he was allowed to go first, he made a few slow moves in the layout phase, but even so, Rui Zhao was gradually eaten away by him with the advantage of being allowed to go first.

And today, if he dares to slow down and try again...

Haha, maybe I will be the one who has to try to fight to the death!
As for the move in the middle game, which was even more impressive.

This fully demonstrated that Rui Zhao had an extremely strong desire to win even when facing his famous senior brother Tianyuan - and he almost succeeded!

Hmm... I only won by one and a half points!
Junior sister... is really talented.

I heard from my master that Zeng Guangwen, 7th dan, lost a game to Rui Zhao, and as a result, everyone was beaten to the "weakest 7th dan" and has not been able to recover until now.

Today, I only beat my junior sister by one and a half points with my ninth grade...

Don't worry that I will be awarded the honorary title of "Mian Jiu" as soon as I turn around...

Thinking of this, Ni Jue couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

At this time, in the chat room, Rui Zhao also responded to his praise:

[Yi Zhao Qi Yi]: Thank you for the compliment! I still have a lot of areas to improve, and I hope you will pay more attention to it when I review the game later.

Uh……

Originally, Ni Jue was in a state of deep emotion, but when he saw this reply, the bitter smile just now froze on his face.

Good fellow! Junior sister, your chess skills have improved, but why are you still as off-line as before?
Didn’t Yu Jiuduan ask everyone to keep your specific identity a secret for now?

But you're calling me "senior brother" in an open chess room...are you afraid that you won't be exposed fast enough? !

...

...

"Okay, that's it for the review of these two games."

An hour and a half later, everyone accompanied Rui Zhao to review the two games.

After Yu Qingguang made a brief ending, he gave his students a rather dissatisfied reminder:
"And Rui Zhao! You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the chess room anymore!
"Looking at your performance, it wouldn't be strange if you showed your ID card to a stranger you met for the first time!"

Rui Zhao suddenly felt wronged, swallowed the bread he had just taken a bite of, and immediately retorted:

“No way! No matter what, I won’t…eh?”

For some reason, the girl froze in the middle of her rebuttal and stopped talking.

Uh...could my junior sister really have done such an outrageous thing?
An idea flashed through Ni Jue's mind, but looking at the atmosphere, he knew it would be better not to mention the matter, so he decisively shut up.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

He didn't want to talk, but Yu Qingguang called him out. "Ni Mingren, how is it, are we old guys taking good care of your junior sister?"

Ni Jue pursed his lips and said, "Well, compared to the last time he played against me, Rui Zhao has obviously improved! This is also thanks to the good teachings of Master and Lei Jiudan and Yu Jiudan!"

Yu Qingguang paused for a moment, and when he saw that Ni Jue had no intention of saying anything more, he sighed.

"Well, if you have time, play a few more games with Rui Zhao! She has been working really hard recently..."

"Of course it is."

...

After a few polite words, Ni Jue exited the video call, lay down on the computer chair, and looked up at the ceiling.

He knew what Yu Qingguang meant by CUE, but he was still hesitant to respond.

Although he could understand why Shang Chaotian hoped so much that Rui Zhao could hold down Bai Yinhua in the "City Cup", he could also understand very well how huge a blow it would be to the development of Chinese Go if Bai Yinhua made big news.

In order to win the "City Cup", his master and junior sister have been trying their best recently.

But if the price is to teach all his current research results to Rui Zhao, it would be difficult for him, as the person involved, to make this decision.

It is well known in the Go circle that the contemporary celebrity Tian Yuan loves to study flying knife techniques, especially after the AI ​​era.

But in the eyes of most people, this move was simply a stupid act that went against the trend of the times.

You know, when AI first appeared, it was anonymous and won 20 games in a row against top players in China without losing a single game. It attracted everyone's attention and was the talk of the town.

At that time, Ni Jue, a talented young chess player who won the world championship at the age of 18 and was well-known for a while, also went to challenge him to a match to test his prowess. However, he was also defeated.

From then on, people all say that "dog" (another name for AI in the Go circle) is stronger than humans, and that we should always learn from dogs, which is the right way.

But that’s not entirely true for Ni Jue.

He learned from the dog, but he didn't trust the dog completely. He often spent a lot of time studying the moves that the AI ​​judged were not very good. Such "distraction" seriously restricted his strength growth.

But what no one expected was that this "reverse training method" could actually help this former genius chess player to learn something!

Some moves that were judged by AI to have a low winning rate were eventually studied by Ni Jue and found to be complex but feasible!
Ni Jue uses these strange moves as hidden "flying knives" in crucial games, which often makes most chess players who worship AI as a god extremely uncomfortable. In the best case, they have to spend a lot of time thinking and feel time-constrained, and in the worst case, they collapse directly and find it difficult to cope.

Unfortunately, however, this approach undoubtedly has its limitations.

Once the hidden "flying knife" is exposed, it will naturally become the object of intensive research by others. The effect will be much worse if it is used again, or even completely cracked.

Therefore, for Ni Jue, he needs to constantly research new "flying knives", and at the same time, he needs to hide the "flying knives" in his hand as much as possible and not use them unless it is a critical situation.

This is why the gap between his key and non-key games is so huge.

Without the flying knives, he is just an ordinary nine-dan chess player.

But once the flying knife comes out, I'm afraid both Lin and Lei will be at a disadvantage!

The research results accumulated over the years are his trump card against top chess players who come to challenge for his title!

It would be difficult for him to teach these achievements to others, even to his own junior sister!

Ni Jue looked at the ceiling and felt that it would be inappropriate to hand over all his "flying knives" to Rui Zhao.

But when he thought about how his master, his junior sister, and the chess king Shang Chaotian were all trying their best to stop Bai Yinhua, but he was clearly capable of doing so but was not helping, he felt very uneasy.

Just when Ni Jue was feeling quite shaken, he heard the sound of a door opening in the living room: it was his wife Xiao Mingran coming home from get off work.

Although Ni Jue was still considering whether to help Rui Zhao, he would not neglect his wife for this.

He immediately stood up and ran to the living room door to help his wife take the fresh meat and vegetables they had bought.

"My dear wife, you've worked hard at work! Sit on the sofa and take a rest for a while! I'll go put the vegetables in the refrigerator!"

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

Xiao Mingran was already accustomed to her husband's hospitality. She smiled, let go of his hand, and started to change her shoes.

"Oh, by the way, honey, let me ask you something!
"Is there someone named Rui Zhao in your Go circle?"
