Have you just started learning Go and are still confused about the outcome of Go?Do you often get persuaded by your opponent that you have lost and that you still have a chance?Do you want to know how to calculate the victory or defeat of Go, and is there any easy way to do it?If you have these doubts, then you must read this article and I will teach you how to quickly calculate the victory or defeat of Go, and no longer be fooled by your opponents.
Go is an ancient and wise game, and its charm lies in its simplicity and complexity. The rules of Go are simple, that is, black and white pieces compete with each other for territory on the chessboard, and whichever side has more territory in the end wins. But the complexity of Go lies in the infinite variety of moves, and each move affects the whole situation, so in order to win Go, it is necessary not only to have a strategic vision, but also to have careful calculations.
So, how is the winner or loser of Go calculated?In fact, there are two ways to calculate the victory and defeat of Go, one is called the number method, and the other is called the number method. The number method is a traditional method in China, and the number method is a modern method in Japan and South Korea. The result of these two methods is the same, but the way it is calculated is different. I'll introduce each of these methods separately.
The principle of counting is to divide all the intersections on the board (i.e., where the pieces can play) into two parts, each of which should have 1805 intersections, the side with more than this number wins, and the side with less than this number loses. So how to divide it?First of all, you have to remove the dead pieces on the chessboard (that is, the pieces that are surrounded by the opponent), and then add up your live pieces (that is, the pieces that cannot be eaten by the opponent) and the empty spots that you are surrounded by (that is, the places where the opponent cannot play), which is your own number of pieces. The public qi between the empty spots of the two sides (that is, the places where both sides can get off) is half of each, and it is also counted in their own sub-numbers. Finally, compare the number of children on both sides, and the side with more wins. However, because Go is black's first move, black has to stick a 3 for the sake of fairness75 discs for white, that is, black has to go over 18425 discs to win, white to 17675 sons to win.
The principle of the number method is to divide all the empty spots on the board (that is, where there are no pieces) into two parts, each of which is the number of eyes of one side, and the side with more wins, and the side with less loses. So how to divide it?First of all, you have to remove the dead pieces on the chessboard (that is, the pieces that are surrounded by the opponent), and then add up the empty spots that you are surrounded by (that is, the places where the opponent cannot play), which is your own goal. The air between the empty spots of the two sides (i.e., the places where both sides can get off) is not counted in the eyes of either side. In the end, compare the number of meshes on both sides, and the side with more wins. However, because Go is black's first move, for the sake of fairness, black has to stick a 65 meshes are given to white, that is, black is more than 1835 moves to win, and white has to go over 1775 mesh to win.
These two methods may seem complicated, but with a few skills, you can easily calculate the winner or loser. I'll share some calculation tips with you.
If you use the number method, then you can use a simple formula to calculate your own number of children, which is: live son + empty point + public gas 2-sticker. For example, you have 80 live children, 60 empty spots, 20 public gases, and paste 375 sons, then your number of children is: 80 + 60 + 20 2-375=178.25。
If you use the number method, then you can use a simple formula to calculate your mesh, which is: empty point - dead child + sticker. For example, you have 120 empty spots, 10 dead children, paste 65 mesh, then your mesh number is: 120-10+65=116.5。
If you're not sure whether some of the pieces on the board are alive or dead, you can tell in a simple way: if the opponent can capture your piece with the next move, then your piece is dead, and if you can run away or eat the opponent's piece with the next move, then your piece is alive. For example, in the diagram below, black is dead because white can capture it with his next move, while white is alive because black cannot eat it with his next move, but will be eaten by white.
If you are not sure whose territory some empty spots on the board are, then you can use a simple way to judge: if the opponent's next hand can occupy this empty point, and you can not prevent or eat the opponent's chess pieces with the next hand, then this empty point is the opponent's, if you can occupy this empty spot with the next hand, and the opponent can not stop or eat your pieces with the next hand, then this empty spot is yours, if both sides can occupy this empty point, then this empty point is public spirit. For example, point A in the diagram below is white, because black cannot capture or capture it with one move, while point B is public because both players can capture or capture it.
That's all I want to share on how to quickly calculate the winner or loser of Go. Have you learned?If you want to test your level, then I have prepared a Go problem for you to challenge yourself on this special day on December 5, 2023.
This Go problem is a 15 15 board, black and white each have some pieces, you have to judge the outcome of this game, use the number of pieces and the number of pieces on both sides to calculate the number of pieces and the number of eyes on both sides, and then tell me who won, who lost, and how many pieces or how many pieces or how many pieces or how many pieces were won. You can use either method, as long as the result is correct.
If you can calculate the winner correctly, then you are a Go master and deserve my admiration.
