Chapter 555 Destined to be an extraordinary game
Li Xiaoqiang walked into the game room and found that Li Shifo had been waiting there for a long time. Because Li Shifo participated in the Chinese AFC, the two were already very familiar with each other and could be called friends in private. However, facing such a critical game, the two did not communicate too much at this time. After a simple greeting, the two sat opposite each other facing the chessboard, quietly waiting for the arrival of this crucial game.
At about 1 noon, with the referee's order, the game was announced to begin. Li Shifo, who was a little older than a few months old, reached out to the chess game, grabbed a piece, and signaled Li Xiaoqiang to guess first...
Today's competition site was much more lively than the previous few days. Not only did Chen Chaoyue, Nie Xuanfeng, Coach Luo and others come to the laboratory, but there were also a lot of reporters coming to interview. In order to accommodate so many people, the Huating Hotel, which hosted the competition, had to open another house, which was considered to add a viewing room.
There are more people, and everyone talks about topics, especially when facing such a major competition, many details are easily expanded. For example, at the beginning of the competition, the laboratory talked about such a topic.
"Usually, most chess players are more willing to play black chess in fast chess games. Especially the active offensive chess players, it seems that the proportion of black chess is more willing to play black chess. In everyone's impression, Xiaoqiang should be considered an active chess player, but in today's game, Xiaoqiang is more willing to play black or white. I'm afraid even he himself is a little confused now."
Zhang Da reporter's words made everyone laugh. In the first three games, Li Xiaoqiang was always stalking. If we only guess first, it can be said that Li Xiaoqiang was extremely lucky. But from the final result, Li Xiaoqiang's three games of white chess can be said to be beautiful wins. In the first game, Li Xiaoqiang showed his super solid and consolidation ability, and in the second game. Li Xiaoqiang showed his increasingly profound skills. Not to mention in the third game, although he had been fighting hard in the third game, many people believed that it was precisely this game that could best show Li Xiaoqiang's characteristics. In that game, the style of the "chessboard wizard" was vividly displayed on the plate.
People who play Go are all superstitious. Since Li Xiaoqiang can always win by holding white, then today is better to play chess, and it is better to play chess today. It’s really hard to say.
The result was soon after guessing, Li Xiaoqiang actually guessed the white chess again, and he guessed the white chess for the fourth time in a row.
"Okay!..." Faced with such a result, reporter Zhang Da laughed heartlessly: "... Others say it's dark to the end, so for today's game, I hope Xiaoqiang can be "white" to the end."
Of course, guessing first can only be considered a detailed question. Deciding the outcome of a game of chess depends on the performance of technical level.
"When I think about it, they have not fought each other for more than a year. A year ago, Li Shifo can only say that he is still in the role of a chaser. Now, it can be said that Li Shifo has caught up and even has a slight tendency to overtake. However, if Li Shifo wants to truly prove himself, he must defeat Li Xiaoqiang. Therefore, it can be imagined that he must hold up a lot of energy for today's game. The same is true for Xiaoqiang. Seeing that Li Shifo actually ran ahead of him, he must also hold up a lot of energy now..."
Reporter Zhang continued to talk endlessly in the laboratory, and someone next to him felt impatient:
"I'm talking about reporter Zhang. You've been talking so much nonsense, what do you want to express?"
"What I mean is: Today's chess game will definitely be very exciting and intense. I even think that the two of them today's game should be able to draw a lot of new ideas..."
It’s true that Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo seem to really give reporter Zhang’s face. The two sides had a fierce conflict from the stage of the sequential game, and in less than 30 moves, the “new idea” mentioned by reporter Zhang’s “big idea” appeared. In the upper right corner of the board, both sides made a rare change. And this change was accompanied by a strange battle.
"Ha, this guy Xiaoqiang, he knew how to bully people by robbing. Really, don't he knows to do something else?"
When reporter Zhang was naturally proud of his successful impersonation as a charlatan, he saw that he had a successful charity. Especially when he saw a chasing battle on the chessboard, reporter Zhang looked even more excited, as if as long as a chasing battle occurs, it would definitely be beneficial to Li Xiaoqiang.
Of course, no one pays attention to reporter Zhang Da’s dancing and joking. Everyone is attracted by the new changes that appear on the chessboard. Because it is a rare change, how should this change be judged? What are the gains and losses in it? This is what everyone is most concerned about at the moment.
First of all, it was the Korean chess player. When he saw another robbery on the chessboard, Xu Fengzhu and Liu Changhe both looked at Cao Yanzi involuntarily. Cao Yanzi smiled bitterly, and he could only smile bitterly now. Indeed, I believe that the great disaster in the world yesterday should be able to leave a psychological shadow in his heart for a while.
Cao Yanzi shook her head, as if she wanted to sweep away the psychological shadow. Then she started to study the chess game with the other two, discuss the gains and losses of this locality, and analyze the intentions of the two opponents.
Of course, the same thing is being done on the Chinese chess player side. Since the number of Chinese chess players is larger, it is necessary to draw conclusions earlier.
"This new change cannot be called a fixed pattern, because in this part, the White Chess obviously suffers losses. However, considering the overall configuration of the White Chess, especially the existence of this robbery, this robbery is heavy and white is light, and I think Xiaoqiang is not trying to win this robbery. His real intention should be to maximize the use of the two remaining pieces and get a little cheaper on the periphery. Therefore, from this perspective, I think Xiaoqiang's idea so far is still worthy of recognition."
When everyone heard Nie Xuanfeng’s judgment, they basically agreed and praised Li Xiaoqiang for his current progress in the “big picture”.
Indeed, being able to look at the "big situation" and not stick to local gains and losses is something that Li Xiaoqiang rarely did in the past. But at least in today's game, in the first 30 moves of chess, everyone has seen Li Xiaoqiang's progress.
"The current situation cannot be judged, but after playing this part, I think it should be a bit difficult to play the black chess. At least it can be said that the white chess has a problem with the black chess. Cao Guoshe, do you think so?"
On the Korean chess side, they also came to the conclusion that they were similar to Nie Xuanfeng. Therefore, from this time on, they were a little worried about Li Shifo.
Many people say that robbery is a very difficult technique in Go. Because robbery in Go, especially robbery in the sequential stage, is often not a local problem and must involve all aspects of the overall situation.
For example, at the beginning of today, why did Li Xiaoqiang dare to choose a change in situations that was obviously losing money? Because he knew that his opponent had two problems that need to be solved. The first problem is that the catastrophe that Nie Xuanfeng just said was "black and white are light". The second and more important problem, just as a Go proverb says: "There is no catastrophe in the first chess"!
Robbery requires robbery, but when the game starts, the entire chess board is empty. Where can the black chess go to find robbery?
Therefore, at this time, if Li Shifo cannot handle these two problems well, it is very likely that Li Xiaoqiang's situation will be advantageous soon.
"It depends on how Li Shifo handles it..."
When everyone has read the first chess record that was passed into the research room, whether it is Chinese personnel or Korean chess players, whether it is Nie Zhefeng Cao Yanzi or even reporter Zhang Da, almost everyone has such an idea.
The competition progressed very quickly, and the second chess score was passed into the laboratory very quickly. When everyone had seen Li Shifo's handling method, they were also more excited about today's chess game.
Li Shifo's method of dealing with this problem is also a common idea in Go:
Since I have a heavier burden on this disaster, I will not be able to open it for the time being. Since I don’t have a disaster material now, I will go to other places to create a disaster material first.
Why do you all look forward to this game of chess? Because Li Shifo's way to create robbery is to create another robbery in the upper left corner of the chessboard!
There are only about 40 chess games. There are two robberies in the two corners of the board. So it is foreseeable that no matter what the result is today, today's chess game will definitely be full of variables and will definitely be played fiercely and beautifully.
The game lasted for an hour, and the first round of the two sides was considered to be the end. Of course, the first round of the competition can only be regarded as a "secret battle", because the two robberies that appeared on the board are currently unresolved. The next 10 rounds will be the two sides fighting back and forth, and they are fighting lively.
The key battle between the two sides in the second round occurred around 2:30 pm. At this time, the game started for one and a half hours, and nearly 70 moves were on the board.
This round of competition seemed to be initiated by Li Shifo. When his chess moves to the chessboard, when his chess moves to the laboratory, it caused a burst of exclamations in the laboratory:
"Ah? He actually killed him from this place..."
"This move is clearly like Li Xiaoqiang's move..."
That's right, Li Shifo did take a step very much like Li Xiaoqiang's move. He came out from a place that everyone unexpectedly thought. Where he made a move, it was considered the sphere of influence of the White Chess. Li Shifo forced his move to a broken piece of his son.
At a high level, he felt that his move was a bit unreasonable. However, after research, everyone found that this move was unexpectedly powerful.
Because at this time, there are two robberies on the chessboard that are still undecided. Li Shifo has two meanings to play the slaughter. First, it is to regard this as a slaughter. It is not impossible to kill these slaughter at this time. But if you forcefully kill the chess, the slaughter will be in an absolutely unfavorable position, and it is very likely that you will lose both slaughter.
If you lose the robbery, even if you eat a few remaining pieces, you can get a certain benefit. But you should know that this place was originally a sphere of influence of the White Chess. Even if you eat a few more pieces, the benefits you get are not as big as you imagined, and at least it cannot make up for the losses caused by losing the robbery.
Since you can't kill forcibly, it seems that you can only "run against each other". From this, you can see the wonderful taste of Li Shifo's move. You must know that the piece of chess that was originally here could have been regarded as thick walls, but now a piece of chess is running against several broken pieces of someone else's...
"What should I do? What should I do now?"
When everyone figured out the purpose of Li Shifo's move, it was natural that all worries turned to Li Xiaoqiang.
Li Xiaoqiang also did not ask everyone to wait too long, and thought for a while. At around 3:40 pm, Li Xiaoqiang gave his own answer.
In the game room, when Li Shifo saw the move that Li Xiaoqiang had just made, he seemed a little surprised. When Li Xiaoqiang's move was passed to the research room, it once again detonated the atmosphere here.
"Ah!? Another robbery has been initiated? Let go! The two of them really... were completely let go today..."
That’s right, Li Xiaoqiang’s choice was to provoke another robbery in the lower right corner of the chessboard!
In less than 80 moves, three robberies occurred in the three corners of the board. This situation is undoubtedly very rare. It can even be said to be rare.
Such a situation is of course extremely complicated. Such a pattern is of course full of variables. Such a competition will of course be very intense!
"I can't predict the outcome of this game now. The only thing I can confirm now is that today's chess game is destined to be an ordinary game!"
In the laboratory, reporter Zhang Da expressed such feelings.
The chess game continues step by step, and a rare and intense scene appears. What trend will this chess game be?
In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang quietly waited for his opponent to take the call. (To be continued.)
