Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Bitter Battle

After the first round of the Fujitsu Cup, there is a two-day break before the second round.

Li Cai's days in the past two days are sleeping, eating, and playing chess.

Monotonous to the extreme.

However, this is how most of the life of a professional chess player is lived.

The day of the second round is here.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the game began, and the two sides prepared for the game.

This time, Li Cai didn't guess correctly first, he left after holding white, and Cui Viper went first with black.

For Cui Viper, Li Cai didn't know much about it in his previous life, but he only knew that he was a type with Li Sedol and his senior brother Gu Dali, and he was a chess player who was good at mid-game battles.

After being reborn, Li Cai himself became a professional chess player, and he had a deeper understanding of various chess players in the Go world, knowing that although Cui Viper was not as famous as Lee Sedol and Gu Dali, and his honor was not as much as theirs, he was a very difficult opponent.

Cui Viper's real name is Cui Zhehan, because when playing chess, in the process of fighting with the opponent, he often withholds it first, like a poisonous snake, hides in the grass, and gives you a fatal blow at the moment when you relax, so it is called "poisonous snake" in the Go world.

At the beginning of the game, Li Cai used the skill-Nie Whirlwind's layout.

The two sides go back and forth, and in less than half an hour, they are almost in the middle of the game.

Although Li Cai's white chess has a certain advantage in the chess game, whether it can maintain the advantage depends on how Li Cai deals with it in the middle game.

After a while, the layout was over, and Li Cai's skills were invalid.

After more than a hundred moves in the game, black made a slightly excessive move, giving black a noticeable breakpoint.

Li Cai began to fall into the long exam, thinking about whether to disconnect the black chess pieces, but then thought about it, as a professional chess player, such an obvious flaw will not be seen, impossible, it seems that Cui Viper deliberately exposed this flaw, luring Li Cai to disconnect, and kill in the middle game, so as to slay the dragon and win in one fell swoop.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Cai thought that Cui Viper was too underestimating himself during the long exam, and felt that he was small, and he was inexperienced in mid-game killing, so he was very easy to bully.

Li Cai was a little annoyed in his heart, and made up his mind to compete fiercely with the Korean Choi poisonous snake and slaughter his big dragon, so that he didn't dare to look down on himself like this.

After making up his mind, Li Cai decisively turned on the skill - Dragon Slayer.

Then, with the blessing of skills, the game changes of the next dozen moves were calculated.

"Smack"

After Li Caichang finished the exam, he made a broken move, cut off the black chess, and fought against each other.

Hearing the crisp sound of white chess pieces, the corners of Cui Viper's mouth were slightly upturned, just like after the prey entered the trap, the hunter showed a sinister and cunning look.

Li Cai, who opened his skills, played chess more and more sharply, pressing step by step, as if he would not give up if he did not kill the black chess.

Soon, the two sides were fighting.

Black suddenly made a move, this move was unexpected by Li Cai, he didn't think of this move at all, and it was not that he didn't think about it, but in the preliminary calculation, he thought that this move could not be established at all, so he didn't calculate it carefully.

But after seeing Cui Viper play this move, Li Cai immediately began to calculate.

This calculation came down, which scared Li Cai a lot, and continued to fight, Li Cai's white chess dragon will be killed in one breath by Cui Viper's black chess dragon.

Li Cai was in a predicament, and if he didn't handle this move well, he would lose the whole game.

Luckily, it's time for a lunch break.

Because Neon Nation does not allow discussion between chess players, Li Cai stayed alone in a small lounge.

Looking at the prepared lunch, fragrant rice and delicious meals, Li Cai had no appetite at all.

It's not like usual, my eyes light up when I hear about eating.

Li Cai ate a few bites casually, cushioned his stomach, and didn't eat, although he didn't have an appetite, but in order to have the physical strength to play the next game, he still had to eat something, otherwise, what should he do if he was hungry when he was calculating chess.

Li Cai thought hard and wanted to find a way to crack it, but unfortunately, he found it too late, and he had already fallen into the path of Cui Viper.

When it was time for lunch, Lee returned to the arena.

Li Cai's white chess game was played, and Li Cai came up with a solution that was not a way during the lunch break.

"Abandoned Son"

Discarding the tail of the white dragon and preserving the entire dragon to minimize the loss is the best way for Li Cai to come up with it.

After all, although this results in white losing the advantage it had in the layout and losing some money, it is much better than black slaying the dragon and losing the game directly.

Seeing that Li Cai decisively abandoned his big dragon tail, Cui Viper was a little surprised, and thought that Li Cai would continue to fight?

However, the big dragon tail that can eat Li Cai has already taken a lot of advantage, and the goddess of victory has already beckoned like a black chess.

After the heavy losses, Li realized that he would definitely lose because of the insipid encirclement.

There was no way, Li Cai had to look for opportunities everywhere, and he began to play chess desperately.

And after Cui Viper ate Li Cai's white chess dragon's tail, he tolerated Li Cai's provocation, and did not fight with Li Cai, and honestly surrounded the air.

Only then did Li know that if the chess was too excessive, the opponent would definitely fight back mercilessly.

So, just a little bit of aggression, take advantage of a little bit and don't continue.

But the situation is still within black's control, and black's advantage is obvious.

Li Cai struggled to see if there was a chance to turn the tables.

Finally, a piece of chess on the corner of the Cui Viper retreated.

And Li Cai saw the relevant tesuji in the passive skill of the all-knowing tesuji of life and death, and he could open a catastrophe in it.

But Li Cai didn't do it immediately, but after taking a few moves to make his robbery more than Cui Viper, he sacrificed this tesuji.

Seeing this calamity, Cui Viper's face changed, and he was not as relaxed as when he had the advantage just now.

Cui Viper and Li Cai started a robbery, and Cui Viper knew that he couldn't win, so he found a small robbery to recover some losses.

After this catastrophe, the situation on the field has been divided into two points, and the next thing is to see whose official kung fu is great.

After Li Cai was strengthened, his computing ability was much stronger than Cui Viper, and he was lucky.

In the end, Li Cai narrowly defeated Cui Viper with half an eye and won the place in the quarterfinals.

Post-match interview.

Li Cai was still a little nervous in the face of so many reporters and so many flashing lights.

After all, it's rare to encounter such a scene.

The Neon Country reporter asked: "Li Cai, what do you think of today's opponent Cui Zhehan?"

Li Cai said honestly: "It's very powerful, if he hadn't made a mistake later, he would have lost." ”

After the reporter asked Li Cai a few questions, he asked the leader of the Huaguo Chess Academy to take him away.

After all, Li Cai is still young, only eight years old, and he has more contact with reporters, which is not conducive to his growth.

After Fujitsu's first and second rounds, the quarterfinals will not start until June.

Therefore, Li Cai followed the Huaguo chess players back to Beijing overnight.
