(Note: "Janjawid for Hero" was written by China chess master Huang and published by People's Sports Publishing House in June. 1993. This book systematically introduces the layout of China artillery on the screen horse, which is a rare good book for chess lovers to learn this layout. The following is its preface. )
In the history of chess layout development in China, the top gun occupied the mainstream position for Feng Ping horse, and the debate between gunner and Ma Fang lasted for 300 years, which greatly enriched the offensive and defensive array and strategy of both sides and formed a huge layout system. In a sense, without understanding the historical evolution of layout, it is difficult to master its various layout arrays, and even it is difficult to deeply understand its transformation relationship with other layouts. Therefore, studying the ins and outs of this layout and revealing its essentials should become a compulsory subject for the majority of chess players. But among them, there are many changes and complicated clues. How to start? This book attempts to grasp the main line of historical development from the perspective of practice, combine the examples of famous players and the genealogy theory of famous writers for reference, and make a general introduction to the focus and evolution of the strategic struggle between artillery and horses.
This is easy to understand. In the early days of chess, the layout of the first gun was first developed. Because it is stipulated in the chess game that catching the opponent's main force is victory, it is natural for people to think that the most direct attack method is to aim at the opponent's main force with a vertical gun, and then the hand will also shoot back. From Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty, when chess was established, it was the heyday of the first artillery bureau. The Song spectrum "Stone Forest Guang Ji", Ming spectrum "Invincible Out of the Cave", "Eighteen Changes in Jin Peng" and "The Secret in Orange" all highlight the formation of the first artillery against the first artillery, reflecting its strategic thinking of being eager to attack, making a quick decision and neglecting defense.
Qing dynasty is a turning point in the development of layout. Plum Blossom Spectrum, Little Plum Blossom and Plum Blossom Spring in the Qing Dynasty opened up a new field for curtain war horses to compete with leading guns, which was of epoch-making significance in the history of layout. The Qing dynasty was a period when the theory of "nothing is related to the wind" prevailed, and its strategic thought of combining offensive and defensive and attacking the enemy later was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the Qing dynasty, the first shot was the main part of the chess game "Wu Zhaolong's Chess Manual" and "Shiyang Legacy Bureau", and the winning rate of Ma Fang was high.
In the first half of the twentieth century, ancient genealogy spread widely and had a great influence. In practice, people have tested, analyzed and revised the ancient spectrum, which has greatly enriched its offensive and defensive strategic changes from two aspects: the first gun and the wind fighting horse, thus entering a new era of horse-gun competition. However, during this period, the formation of the fighting horse has not got rid of the plum blossom frame, and it is dominated by three soldiers, with monotonous formation and poor counterattack. However, the first artillery formation has developed five or six artillery, five or seven artillery, five or eight artillery, rushing troops, through trains and other means, which are flexible and diverse, with both offensive and defensive capabilities. In contrast, Pingfengma's defensive strategy is not active enough and needs to be improved.
In the late 1950s, Ping Feng Ma first stood up with seven soldiers. This extremely aggressive array embodies the guiding ideology of "being in an invincible position first and striving to defeat the enemy". It adopts counter-attack means such as left horse's disc and, flat gun against car, left elephant crossing car, etc. , opened another wide world of janjawid disputes. This requires the corresponding improvement of the first artillery bureau, so the strong attack means such as high left artillery, 59 artillery, seven-way horse, straight-crossing car and middle-rushing soldiers came into being. Facts have proved that the situation is more complicated than the previous three times, and the struggle between the two sides is more intense and dangerous, which is a sign that the layout is developing to a high level.
At the end of 1970s, the First Artillery Corps appeared a brave attack mode of four soldiers meeting each other, which continued to develop in 1980s with good results. This is a screen-pressing horse standing up seven times, which makes people feel that no matter standing up three times or seven times, it has the weakness of prematurely exposing tactical intentions. As a result, the slow-standing and pawn-shaped method of the wind curtain horse that accompanied the development in the past was re-valued, and the old tree sprouted. It is characterized by adopting corresponding strategies according to the attack route of the first artillery, including various games supported by 37 soldiers from both sides, so the defense scope is further expanded.
According to modern chess theory, the first gun is the most powerful and active offensive formation, while the wind curtain horse is the most stable and elastic defensive formation, and the two are evenly matched. This does not mean the end of the carbine confrontation. In fact, the strategic and tactical struggle between the two sides will continue to develop.
