"Why would Li Xiaoqiang think that Li Shifo is more difficult to deal with in the "two-day" system?"

“Because of the control flow.”

“Control flow?”

"Yes, this question is difficult to explain clearly. To understand this question, we must first start with the characteristics of their chess style. Let me ask you first, as the two top experts in the world chess world, what do you think is the main difference between them?"

"this……"

"Li Xiaoqiang often thinks about what ordinary people dare not think about, and what ordinary people cannot reach, with endless fantasy ideas and magical hands. When Li Shifu plays chess, he never pursues the highest efficiency of every move, and likes to use his precise control ability to guide the game. In layman's terms, I think Li Xiaoqiang's strength lies in depth. This depth is not depth in the ordinary sense, but in the depth of understanding of Go. What about Li Shifu? His advantages are mainly reflected in breadth, the breadth of understanding of Go. They are one deep and the other wide, which is the main difference between them. Do you think this is the case?"

"It seems to be that interesting. You have a good evaluation of the characteristics of the two people. After hearing your words, I suddenly remembered Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa's evaluation of Li Shifo. He said that he could understand the chess scores of ordinary people after reading them, while he needed to read Li Shifo's chess several times before he could understand the meaning of it."

"Oh? Has Mr. Xiuxing ever had such an evaluation? This evaluation is quite high. What about Xiaoqiang? As Xiaoqiang, who is even more powerful than Li Shifo, what is Mr. Xiuxing's evaluation?"

"Mr. Xiuxing said that Li Xiaoqiang's chess is also a type that you can understand by just reading it once..."

"Ah? In this way, Mr. Xiuxing thinks that Xiaoqiang is not as good as Li Shifo? By the way, no wonder some time ago, when he ranked all chess players in talent, he would rank Li Shifo ahead of Li Xiaoqiang..."

"I haven't finished talking just now. Why are you anxious... Although Mr. Xiuxing also thinks that Li Xiaoqiang's chess is easy to understand, he said later: Although Li Xiaoqiang's chess is also the kind that can be understood at first glance, watching Li Xiaoqiang's chess often causes him to think deeply. Why are those simple and clear methods only come from Li Xiaoqiang's chess, and only Li Xiaoqiang can play it frequently, and everyone else ignores it? This is a phenomenon worth pondering by all professional chess players."

"This is this..."

""Seeing mountains is a mountain", "Seeing mountains is not a mountain", "Seeing mountains is still a mountain"! Do you think Mr. Xiuxing's words mean something?"

"Hahaha, yes! Your comment is still very good. Ordinary chess player is "a mountain that is seen", Li Shifo won, and he reached the point of "a mountain that is not a mountain". As for Xiaoqiang, he is gradually moving towards the state of "a mountain that is seen or a mountain."

"I'm going too far, I'm going too far, let's go back to the previous question. You just said that Xiaoqiang's strengths lie in depth, and Li Shifo's strengths lie in breadth. I agree with this point of view, but then again, does this have anything to do with the "two-day" competition?"

"Because of a long-term game, Li Shifo's advantages can be maximized, and at the same time, he can hide his weaknesses to the extreme."

"How do you say this?"

"Everyone knows that Li Shifo's chess has always been about not making mistakes. Although many people say that he has become more proactive in playing chess now, this is actually forced out by Xiaoqiang, but his core idea of ​​playing chess has never changed. Therefore, when he faces Xiaoqiang, no matter how the situation changes, it is actually Xiaoqiang's attacking and Li Shifo is defending. Do you think this is the case?"

"Yes, yes," Li Shifo's situation seemed good, but Li Xiaoqiang's wonderful idea caught him off guard, and Li Xiaoqiang won the game in the end..." This was almost a routine for the two of them. I just said why is it always like this? After hearing what you said, it should have something to do with their chess style. But you haven't said that, what does this have to do with the "two-day" game?"

"In Go, offense is always more difficult than defense. Offense requires active conception, while defense only needs to deal with moves. In this way, long-term matches are of great benefit to defenders. On the one hand, he can hide his weaknesses deeper, and on the other hand, when he is attacked by his opponent, he has more time to deal with it calmly."

"Wait, I don't fully understand what you mean. Isn't this thing fair to both sides of the game? Li Shifo can defend more calmly, so why can't Li Xiaoqiang find sharper offensive methods?"

"You must know that the so-called offense in Go is actually a process of finding the opponent's flaws. If your chess has no flaws, then the opponent's offense is impossible to talk about. Of course, it cannot be said that because it takes longer, Li Shifo's chess has no flaws. It's just that it is easier to defend than finding offensive means. This is why it is said that the "two-day" game is more beneficial to Li Shifo."

"Hahaha, although I still can't fully understand what you mean, it sounds reasonable. Zhao Zhixun once thought: In the "two-day" game, Li Shifo should not be his opponent. In this way, you should completely disagree with this view?"

"Yes, although Mr. Zhao Zhixun is known as the "Seven-Series Devil" and is very good at playing the "two-day system", as long as Li Shifo adapts to the rhythm of this competition system, Zhao Zhixun will only lose even worse."

"hehe."

"What does your "hehe" mean?"

"My "hehe" means that although I really want to refute your words, I was speechless when I saw that Li Shifo tortured Li Xiaoqiang to this in today's game..."

The first game of the first "World Chess Holy War" final. As the most important game in the chess world today, the viewing room is naturally full of guests and very lively. The first game of the final is the "two-day system", which is also the first time that both sides of the final have experienced this competition system. What will the two men play in this competition system? This game attracts many attention.

The above conversation is a conversation between two senior chess industry in the viewing room. As for who is the interlocutor? Because there are too many people in the viewing room, it is no longer possible to test now.

However, this conversation roughly reflects the basic situation of the first game of the final.

When the game was about 4 pm on the second day, Li Xiaoqiang, who was in the game room, shook his head with a wry smile, took over the chess score from the notator, and then signed the chess score to admit defeat. The chess score is recorded like this:

The first game of the first "World Chess Holy War":

Black Square: Li Shifo, it took 7 hours and 20 minutes.

White side: Li Xiaoqiang, it took 6 hours and 50 minutes. The game result: wins in the middle of the black game.

"It must be admitted that this game is a famous game for the black drama..." Mr. Zhao Zhixun, who was also in the viewing room, commented on the game with a smile:

"We can't think that Li Xiaoqiang's game was not good. Apart from a little aggressive move, he did not make any other mistakes or mistakes. However, Li Shifo's performance was simply perfect. He interpreted the essence of the control flow to the fullest. This is really a famous game of control..."

"So, Mr. Zhao, there is an argument that in the long-term game, Li Xiaoqiang may really not be Li Shifo's opponent. Li Xiaoqiang himself thinks that Li Shifo in the two-day system is more difficult to deal with. Do you agree with this view?"

"Hahaha, how do you ask me to answer this? You have to know that there is a saying in the Go world: The question about Li Xiaoqiang is the most difficult to answer. Any seemingly objective analysis and rational inference are invalid in front of him. Don't think that he really can't play the two-day system. Take today's chess game as an example. His only "problem player" in his step. If Li Shifo had not made the best response, who realized that it was the "problem player" at that time? I think it's not better to say that Li Xiaoqiang is not good at playing the "two-day system", it's better to say that he has not fully adapted to the rhythm of this game. Just look at it. Once he adapts to this competition system, he can also play very exciting chess."

"Oh? Why do you think he hasn't adapted to the rhythm of this competition system?"

Zhao Zhixun laughed again:

"This is very simple. Just look at his game time. In each side's 8 hours of competition, Li Xiaoqiang only took less than 7 hours to admit defeat. This shows that he still has a big problem in the game time allocation..."

No matter how Lao Zhao found an objective reason for Li Xiaoqiang, losing the game means losing. Although the nine-game chess seems long, he suffered a blow in such an important game and lost the game in a nearly complete defeat. In addition to the double pressure on Li Xiaoqiang, the outside world's wind direction has also quietly changed.

However, Li Xiaoqiang is a long-standing battle after all.

"The effect of home court is not good."

After losing the first game, he was still in the mood to joke with Yukari Umezawa. Yukari Umezawa smiled and comforted Li Xiaoqiang:

"This is nothing. I noticed an interesting phenomenon. In the finals between you and Li Shifo, although you won in the end, every first game, it seems that Li Shifo really won a lot."

Li Xiaoqiang laughed: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I pay attention to it..."

It is indeed as Yukari Umezawa said. Fortunately, not all of the nine-game chess this time were "two-day", and the three "two-day" games were not played at the same time, which gave Li Xiaoqiang time to adjust.

In the second set of the final, the normal 3-hour time will be restored, and then the next is 1 hour of fast chess, and then 3 cycles will be performed in this order.
Chapter completed!
