Chapter 108: Hu Tietou's "Clip"
"Brother Ding'an, are you sure you want to choose black in this game?"
"Yes, Xiangping Xiaoyou, although I lost the first two games of black, I still think that if you want to defeat this person, I should have a greater grasp of black."
This is the dialogue between Li Xiangping and his plug-in when he reguesses the first in the deciding game, which should also be regarded as the first story of this tiebreaker game.
One of the interesting things that has happened in this series is that in the first four games, all the white side wins.
There is no doubt that the five-way chess in this final is a rare fierce battle in the world chess world in recent years, and in the eyes of many people, Li Canghao has encountered an unprecedented challenge this time. You can't blame everyone for thinking this way, because so far, Li Canghao is not only undefeated in the international arena, but even before that, there has only been one time when Wuban has been dragged into a tiebreaker by a foreign opponent, and that is against Ma Xiaofei in the Samsung Cup final last year.
This year, this is the second time that he has been dragged into a tiebreaker by a foreign opponent, and this time the opponent is still an amateur chess player who is only 14 years old, so in everyone's opinion, this is of course a severe test for Li Canghao.
Everyone understands that in the major games of Dafan athletic events, then before the game, the sound of various analysis and prediction is always indispensable, and this game is the same, after the end of the 4th game, there are endless discussions about the tiebreaker, who can get the final victory? From professional chess players to ordinary chess fans, from those who know chess to those who don't, from experts to people who eat melons, all kinds of characters have expressed their opinions and predicted the outcome of the game.
These predictions don't need to be described too much, they always say everything, but compared with the first game before, there are two interesting phenomena in this prediction, the first is that at this time, the number of chess fans who think that Li Xiangping can win has greatly increased, although the total number of people still thinks that Li Canghao can win the majority, but this proportion has been greatly reduced.
The second interesting phenomenon is that at this time, there is a kind of "guess the first decisive round" on the Internet, and the initiator of this argument is the well-known netizen who is addicted to chess on Qingfeng Internet, known as the arrogant lone wolf of "Qingfeng Bai Xiaosheng". He posted on the forum:
For this last game of chess, that's a fart, I think it's just guessing the winner first, didn't look at the first 4 games of chess are won by white, then this last game of chess is estimated to be the same, so whoever is lucky enough to guess white in the last game of chess is estimated to win the final championship.
It must be admitted that this statement is of course very unreliable. However, many things in this world are like this, and the more unreliable the arguments, the more people tend to believe.
For example, this time, as soon as the argument of the arrogant lone wolf came out, it immediately attracted a chorus of echoes, which can be described as a servant. It can also be said that it is precisely for this reason that the guessing of this tiebreaker has attracted much attention and has become the first hot topic of this tiebreaker.
However, what many ordinary chess fans don't know is that because the current Go rules have just been changed from black stickers to 5 and a half meshes to 6 and a half meshes, the way to guess the first in this year's "Samsung Cup" is also different from the past, and the practice of learning the "Ying's Cup" should be called "guessing the right to choose" strictly speaking.
That is, the party who guesses correctly has the right to choose whether he holds black or white.
Of course, most people can't see the scene of the Go game, so when the live webcast and TV broadcast of this game began, when many chess friends who supported Li Xiangping saw that it was the black first, they immediately sighed and mourned for Li Xiangping's luck, but they didn't know that the reason why this game of chess was black, but Lao Shi took the initiative to choose.
Of course, this guess first story is just the prologue of this decisive game, or a foreshadowing, the first really interesting story of this game of chess, or the first climax of this game, but it is the 40th hand that happened in the overall situation, the time is about one and a half o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, Shi Da Chess Sheng's hand of chess, shocked the eyes of all spectators.
"Good afternoon, everyone, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the event brought to you by the Imperial Court Sports Channel, the next thing to broadcast to you is the final game of the 6th Samsung Cup Wuban Chess Finals, by my country's teenager Li Xiangping against South Korea's Li Canghao Jiuduan, today is responsible for explaining to you is the famous national player Ma Xiaofei Jiuduan and the beautiful chess player Mao Jiajun Chuduan, welcome to ......"
After all, it has reached the decisive game, so in addition to the live broadcast of this game of chess, the sports channel of the imperial court station will broadcast it live again. It must be mentioned that Ma Xiao is different from Lao Nie and Team Leader Hua, because he is a southerner, and his accent problem makes him rarely explain on TV, and today he is also rare to look up to Li Xiangping and come here to talk about this game of chess.
The live broadcast started at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it has been a while since the first small climax of the game, maybe I want to introduce this chess hand to everyone, so Ma Xiao and their opening remarks today are a lot less vain things, and after a while, they will go straight to the point.
And if you want to introduce the means of shocking the eyeballs, you must start with Li Canghao's previous hand of chess, it can be seen that before coming, Ma Xiaofei and Mao Jiajun should have done their homework, and their explanation started with Mao MM's question.
Mao Jiajun: "...... The two sides of the game have just completed a punch on the top side of the chessboard, we have analyzed this punch and split, and think that two points, the two sides can fight, and it is acceptable for white to get real profits, but the external momentum of black chess also has no reason to be dissatisfied, and at this time, Li Canghao made a move.... Let me see, this is the 42nd hand of the overall situation, Li Canghao has just taken this step of "touching", Mr. Ma, what does this step "touch" mean? ”
Ma Xiaofei said with a smile: "Such a "touch" is considered an unconventional method in Go, but it is very common, it seems that from professional nine-dan to amateur level 9, I like to play this kind of "touch" in many cases, so it can be called the most common unconventional method in Go......"
Listening to Ma Xiaofei say this, many chess fans who watched the live broadcast will smile, indeed, such a means of "touching" on the side is indeed very common, even if it is a lot of low-K chess friends, he may not know the connotation of this kind of chess at all, and he may not be able to figure out how to play the follow-up means at all, but when he plays chess, there is something that has not been "touched" in advance.
Ma Xiaofei continued: "Although this move is more common, but in different situations, its role and connotation are actually different, sometimes it is used to move, such as the "diversion and touching" that everyone often says, and sometimes it is used to directly break the air, another more advanced role, like this chess, in fact, you can also see it as a "trial hand", a more positive "test hand", such as today's game of chess, this situation ......
Speaking of which, Ma Xiaofei began to analyze Li Canghao's specific intention to play this move today.
"At present, the two sides have just completed a rush on the upper side of the chessboard, and white has obtained two corner lands, and in exchange, the area from the edge to the middle of the belly should be regarded as the sphere of influence of black, according to common sense, fighting in the sphere of influence of others, most of the time is actually disadvantageous, so at this time, why did Li Canghao run into it.....
At this time, Mao MM interjected: "Yes, yes, this move is very different from Li Canghao's style, it is rare to see him take the initiative to fight like this, so Mr. Ma, what is the intention of playing this move in white chess?" ”
Faced with Mao Jiajun's question, at this time Ma Xiao suddenly made a joke, and he said to Mao MM:
"I analyzed that Li Canghao suddenly took the initiative to fight, and it was completely forced by our Li Xiangping."
"Ahh Forced? ”
Ma Xiaofei smiled and nodded: "You should have seen the first few games of chess, it should be said that the level of this series is very high, I even think that this is a rare masterpiece in recent years, the two players show completely different chess styles and characteristics, Li Canghao We all know that he belongs to that kind of robustness, what he is best at is to take the lead, how to say it, if you use football to describe it, his chess is a bit similar to the style of defensive counterattack, but our Li Xiangping is different, his chess is a standard offensive style of chess. ”
Ma Xiao's words were interrupted by Mao MM again: "We all know Mr. Ma, but why did you just say that Li Canghao was forced by Li Xiangping to do this today?" ”
"This is because Li Canghao should feel that with the most familiar routine he used to have, he is no longer sure that he can completely control Li Xiangping."
Speaking of this, Ma Xiaofei paused, and he continued to smile and said: "Although the first 4 games of chess seem to be drawn, but from the content of the chess, or from the perspective of the chances of both sides winning, objectively speaking, it should be more Li Xiangping, this is not only my personal opinion, from Li Canghao's move just now, I think he should also think like this, it is probably because of this reason, so Li Canghao tried to make some changes, the meaning of his move is obvious, that is, on the basis of sticking to his own style, I hope to play my chess more actively and actively, so I will play this "touch". ”
"Oh? Hehe, Mr. Ma, you are Da Li's old opponent, it seems that you still know him best, but judging from the later process, Li Canghao's change doesn't seem to have any effect in front of Li Xiangping, and he was immediately severely counterattacked by Li Xiangping. Mr. Ma, Li Xiangping's next move, I really have never seen it before, he actually made a "clip"! This move, this move......"
Ma Xiaofei answered: "Hehe, don't say it's you, Li Xiangping's next chess hand is even the first time I've seen it, everyone knows that to deal with such a "touch", unless you take off first, otherwise there are usually only "up pull", "down pull", "up long", "down stand" 4 kinds of responses, but Li Xiangping actually took a step "clip", I studied for a long time before coming here, this is really a sharp super tendon. ”
"Huh?! You haven't even seen this move, so is this move the first one created by Li Xiangping? ”
"Hehe, I thought it was at first, but when I was in the chess academy just now, a young chess player named Chen Yaoyue told me that he said that Li Xiangping also told him that this kind of "clip" method is really not his original, and the first time this "clip" appeared in the official chess game was hundreds of years ago, played by a chess player named Hu Zhaolin. ”
"Huh?! Hu Zhaolin? Is that the nickname Hu Tietou? ”
That's right, it was the Yangzhou salt merchant who was the same era as Fan Shi, the "second-hand" Hu Tietou of the ancient chess, who was the first to make this super strong tesuji. ”
