It's been a long time!

Before the start of the sixth game, this is the title of the CCTV reporter's report, if Li Cai forced Li Sedol to choose to let Dingxian represent the voice of many ordinary people, then this article of the CCTV reporter explains why the majority of chess fans are so excited.

Jubanqi is the highest standard confrontation method in Go, and Shibanqi has also opened the long-sealed memories of many old chess fans.

Although since last year, the final of the "Hope Cup" has been the Shiban game, which is also the second Shiban duel between Li Cai and Lee Sedol, but many people are paying attention to the high prize money of the "Hope Cup", who won the 50 million bonus, and did not care about the content of the Shiban game.

Of course, this is not a real Shiban game, nor is it the highest standard Shiban game, the real Shiban chess, which can be traced back to the era of Master Wu Qingyuan in the last century.

As early as a few years ago, when the "Hope Cup" competition had not yet appeared, some people thought about holding a juban chess, but at that time, Li Cai stopped participating in the Go competition and went to play tennis.

I just want Gu Dali and Lee Sedol to play ten games of chess. But what everyone didn't expect was that this proposal was resolutely resisted by all chess fans.

"If you can't represent the highest level, why are you embarrassed to play Juban?" is one of the reasons for the opposition of chess fans.

"To play ten chess, you have to have Li to play, and now ...... It seems that there is no suitable opponent at all" This is the second reason for the opposition of the majority of chess fans, and this is also one of the reasons why after Master Wu Qingyuan, there has never been a Shiban chess in the world chess world.

Unlike the "Hope Cup", where players who win the world championship every year compete for the right to challenge this last game, they will face off against Li Cai in ten games.

The selection of challenge players in this way is also relatively fair.

In addition, the first "Hope Cup" did not adopt the rules of the lifting competition, that is, Li Cai was worried that many chess players would not accept this rule because of their high self-esteem, and they would easily withdraw from the game halfway, so that the competition would be boring, and the second "Hope Cup" would not be easy to carry out.

The characteristic of Juban is that the game is played in a lifting game, which means that if a team can win 4 games, the game will not be stopped, but the rules will be changed.

After winning 4 sets, two of the next 3 sets will be set first, and the other set will be first. If a side can win 8 games in a row, then they will directly beat the opponent to the first place.

However, this rule is not easy for many chess players to accept.

Therefore, in the second "Hope Cup" this time, Li Cai used the temptation of a draw to divide half of the prize money, and after losing five games in a row, the losing chess player was able to use the rule of letting the first move, which was all voluntary and not mandatory. This can be regarded as an early change for next year's "Hope Cup" juban competition.

In the next year, in the "Hope Cup" competition, Li Cai will consider forcing the ten-game rule, and if he loses five games in a row, he will directly give way to Dingxian.

The game began, and so did the real Juban game.

Because it is to let Dingxian go, it is Lee Sedol who is in charge of black, and Lee Cai is in charge of white. And Lee Sedol insists on black and does not stick to his eyes, so it can be said that he is seven and a half eyes ahead of Li Cai at the beginning.

Although I have played handicap chess and even handicap chess, they are all chess players who are much weaker than me, and even newcomers who have just entered the professional chess game, and the potential of Go has not yet been tapped.

But Lee Sedol is different, he can be said to have achieved the best results in international competitions after Li Cai was no longer participating in the Go competition, and he is also the world's No. 1 Go player and one of the top Go players today.

Li Cai asked him to set the first, which can be said to be very difficult.

At the beginning of the sixth game, Lee Sedol had a huge advantage because of the lack of black chess, and his chess was very steady, which was not at all like the usual chess style.

And Li Cai also played a little too much chess, allowing Lee Sedol to face off with himself in the middle game, so as to expand his advantage and make up for the gap between the seven offices.

Generally, the top chess players are estimated to win at most about three or four eyes after a game of chess, and many chess games are the result of winning and losing at one eye and two goals, because if the number is too different, the chess players will admit defeat early, not waiting for the number.

After all, professional chess players will judge the situation and analyze whether black is ahead, white is ahead, or two points in the chess game, and the difference is only one or two eyes.

If there is a difference of seven or eight goals, professional chess players will not have the face to ask for the number.

And Lee Sedol does not clash with Li Cai's excessive chess and does not fight.

After all, the more chaotic the situation in the chess game, the easier it is for Li Cai to win, just like Lee Sedol's "zombie flow", and Lee Sedol is best at "zombie flow", so he naturally has experience in such a move.

In the sixth game of the juban game, when the chess game came to an end, Lee Sedol's black chess was still about four eyes ahead of Li Cai, and the remaining officials, even if Li Cai played well, could not lead the four eyes and win.

So Li Cai simply conceded defeat, allowing Lee Sedol to win the first game in the five games of chess.

Since there are two days between each match, Li Cai also made the most of these two days.

I used the time room to give myself more than ten days of research and practice time in Go.

In the time room, Li Cai's strength has also improved rapidly through the guidance of Master Wu Qingyuan, and he is just short of being able to use what he has learned flexibly.

In the seventh and eighth games of the "Hope Cup", Li Cai still lost, allowing Lee Sedol to win three games in a row, leaving only two games left.

In the eighth game, Li Cai was only one glimpse away from winning the game.

This also made the Chinese chess players who watched the game feel regretful, especially Li Cai's teacher Nie Whirlwind and the best brother Gu Dali, who felt that this game of chess was a pity, Li Cai failed to seize the opportunity, win the game, and lock the victory of the "Hope Cup" game in advance.

"It's a shame that you're in the middle of the game and you're going to win. ”

After the game, senior brother Gu Dali said to Li Cai.

Li Cai shrugged his shoulders and said to his senior brother Gu Dali: "That move is already very excessive, if it weren't for Li Shishi's stability, I wouldn't dare to play like this, if it was a little too much, Li Shishi would definitely fight back, he is also a top chess player, but he is not a child who has just entered the profession." ”

Senior brother Gu Dali naturally understood this truth, he just felt that it was a pity, but for Li Cai's last sentence, he couldn't help but complain.

"You are also a child now, about the same age as many children who have just entered the profession, and you still have the face to talk about others, what do you do with us professional chess players who are already "old"?"

Of course, Li Cai knew that his senior brother Gu Dali was joking, but he also understood that the replacement time of Go players is very fast, and a chess player is generally in his teens after becoming a professional chess player, and if he wants to become a top chess player, it takes at least four or five years of training.

If the talent is average, you can only rely on the training accumulated over time to slowly improve the strength of Go.

Of course, Li Cai, a reborn person, is not counted and is a special case.

This is generally the case, as a result of which a player's strength decreases after a few years of being at the top of his game, far less than the computing power of a young player, but more and more experienced than them.

At the beginning of the ninth game, Lee Sedol was still the same as before, playing very steadily, but after the lesson of almost losing the game yesterday, for Li Cai's slightly excessive chess, he was able to calculate the changes, so he dealt a hard blow and did not let himself suffer.

In the middle game, Lee Sedol is still a lot ahead, and after experiencing the guidance of Master Wu Qingyuan, Li Cai has slowly integrated what he has learned.

Li knew that it would not work if it went on like this, and he didn't want to find a way, and if he continued like this, he would lose the game again.

So Li Cai began the long exam.

"Smack. ”

After the long exam, Li Cai made a very excessive move.

This surprised Lee Sedol, who didn't expect Li Cai to play such an excessive move after the long exam.

And the chess players in the viewing room were too surprised to see Li Cai's move, and they didn't expect to play like this, which was completely beyond their expectations.

Li Cai's move was completely out of their consideration, or they thought that this move was completely untenable and could not be played at all.

After Li Cai made this move, the ability value of Go also changed, and finally changed from 97 points to 98 points, reaching the same height as Master Wu Qingyuan.

It can be said that Li Cai relied on his own efforts to finally break through and further improve his strength in Go.
