Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia, who is more powerful Fan Xiping or Shi Xiangxia?

It seems that he is a top master in the Go world of the Qing Dynasty, and his chess quality is good....

Go classic: The seventh game of the ten games of Danghu, Fan Xiping vs Shi Xiangxia.

It's all about the same, like Li Bai and Du Fu, each has its own merits and no standards to compare them, they played ten games but lost the chess game, and Fan Xiping didn't want to compete with Shi Xiangxia at all, the emperor ordered them to be happy, and Fan Xiping resisted the decree and ran away.

Of course, it's hard to say, the two are comparable, but because they are brothers, they have never played against each other in public! Of course, I like Fan Xiping more!

At that time, there was only one person who could compete with Fan Xiping, and that was Shi Xiangxia, one of the four major families. However, according to various historical records, Shi Xiangxia's thinking is not as agile and flexible as Fan Xiping, the two play against each other, Shi Xiangxia often locks his eyebrows and ponders, and he can't have a son for a long time, but Fan Xiping is very relaxed, and he doesn't seem to take the chess game to heart, and even goes to sleep after Yingzi. In one game, Fan Xiping's overall situation was in danger, and everyone watching the chess thought that he had no hope of winning and would definitely lose.

Fan Xiping still didn't think so, after a while, he hit a robbery, and sure enough, the seventy-two way chess came back from the dead, and the chess viewers were all amazed.

Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia were originally fellow villagers, and they were of similar age, and before they became famous, the two often played chess together. Later, they became national players one after another, so they parted ways and went their separate ways, and the time to get together was running out. According to Hu Jingfu's words quoted in the "Preface to the First Issue of National Games", Fan, Shi Yongzheng, and Qianlong played ten games in Beijing, but unfortunately the records of these ten games are nowhere to be found.

Later, in the fourth year of Qianlong, Fan and Shi were invited by Zhang Yongnian of Danghu (also known as Pinghu) to teach the game. Zhang Yongnian invited the two famous players to play a game as a demonstration, and Fan and Shi made the famous "Ten Rounds of Danghu". There were originally thirteen rounds, but now there are eleven rounds.

When the lake ten games are thrilling, it is the most exquisite masterpiece in the lives of Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia, and it is also the pinnacle of the game in ancient China. Players of the same generation speak highly of him. Qian Baotang said

In the past, Pu Ziyan was a good Go player, and he was known as the chess saint in the world. If there are two gentlemen, they are really worthy of the name of the chess saint. Although there are only ten rounds, it is wonderful.

Deng Yuansui believes that these ten games are the "most appropriate" in chess.

Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia's chess strength is far above many chess players, and there are very few who can play with each other, and ordinary chess players such as Zhang's father and son can only start the game after receiving their sons. At that time, the receivers ranged from two to eleven sons. Anyone who concedes is called guiding chess, which is a more practical and effective method of cultivating backwards at that time.

In addition, both Fan and Shi personally taught many disciples and made great contributions to the development of the Go career.
