Chapter 342: Against the Wind
It was close to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the overall situation was less than 70 hands, and Li Xiangping's good mood at noon had disappeared.
Yes, it is gone.
And all this is because of the opponent's just dropped move.
This is the 68th hand of this game, which is a local strong move, and it is also a good move, and the most important thing is that this move is completely outside Li Xiangping's previous calculation, and it belongs to the kind of play that the opponent has calculated and even played, but Li Xiangping has completely ignored it.
"I'm careless, there's such a hand hidden here......"
However, Li Xiangping can't deceive himself, he knows that today's chess is really not his "carelessness", but the opponent really played a strong hand that he didn't expect.
Fortunately, the current Li Xiangping can be regarded as having undergone experience, especially in the "Fujitsu Cup" final not long ago, his ability to resist blows has been greatly strengthened------
In that game, he suffered an "accident" in which he made a serious mistake, while in this game, it was an "accident" in which the opponent suddenly made a strong move, although the two kinds of accidents are different in nature, but for a professional game, the essence is actually the same.
It is precisely because he has more experience than ordinary people, so his growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary people, for example, today, Li Xiangping quickly calmed down, and he began to think about the next step.
If you want to find a way to deal with it, the first thing you need to do is, of course, analyze and judge the current situation as soon as possible.
"Tsk, what is this guy's nickname "fist", it seems that it is not unreasonable, he waved this fist, as if.... It seems that the overall offense and defense have been reversed....."
That's right, when Li Xiangping began to calmly analyze the current situation, he quickly captured the first keyword, and this keyword is, of course: offensive and defensive reversal, the overall offensive and defensive reversal!
Before the 68 moves, the main tone of this game of chess was that Li Xiangping's black chess was attacking, and the opponent's white chess was defensive, and such a main tone was actually established at noon, because at that time, Li Xiangping was still feeling good about himself, he felt that the opponent's play in the morning was a little too much, at least a little too strong, if he was not held responsible, it would be simply sorry for his current reputation.
However, Li Xiangping forgot that he thought that many of his opponents' chess were strong, and some of his moves in the morning might be "out of place", but in Go, in fact, as the attacking side, that is the time to pay more attention to attack.
If the conditions for the attack are not yet ripe and you attack at the wrong time, the effect of the attack will definitely backfire.
And just now, when Li Xiangping saw his opponent's 68th hand, he immediately realized this problem:
Because the opponent has such a good move, then his attack during this period may be too hasty.
This move not only prevented his own wave of attacks, so that the two seemingly weak dragons of white chess cleverly established a connection, and more importantly, the position of this chess piece seems to be the legendary "point of form", since this position was snatched by white, there is nothing at a cursory glance, but if you look closely, a large piece of black chess itself suddenly appears uneasy.
So the offensive has been reversed!
At this time, the offense and defense are reversed, and the problem is actually very serious. Because some time ago, Black's attack did not achieve any substantial results, then a reversal in this case would of course mean a big defeat in Black's previous battle.
Since the battle has been a big failure, there is no need to think about it, the situation of black chess must have fallen into a disadvantage.
What's next? At a little over 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping's hand stopped, and he began to nervously think about how to deal with it.
And while Li Xiangping was looking for countermeasures, the viewing room next door began to be active, of course, compared to the Chinese lineup, this time the Korean lineup was more active.
Today's lineup of Korean medicine research is centered on Lao Cao-----
Now Lao Cao is also a person who is ready to play "Happy Go", for example, this "Samsung Cup", Lao Cao failed to enter the top 16.
"Tut-tut-tut-Cao Guoshou is really like a god, Li Xiangping really has a problem with the new novice model he created, so can you say now that Shengqin has a good chance of winning this game?"
The person who said this was a South Korean Go reporter, who first praised Lao Cao, and then asked the question that everyone was most concerned about, at least the issue that the entire Korean chess world is most concerned about at present.
It must be admitted that although most Koreans give the impression of being arrogant, there is a so-called "self-confidence" and "self-esteem", but the game of Go is certainly not so superficial. After listening to the South Korean reporter's question, Lao Cao replied with a smile:
"Well, so far, it can be considered that Shengqin has played extremely well, he has not only fully played his strengths, but objectively the situation has also taken advantage, but to say that it has been won now, it may be too early, not to mention that it is now less than 70 chess, I think with the name Li Xiangping alone, everyone may not dare to be optimistic too early."
Lao Cao's words suddenly made everyone around him speechless, indeed, at this time, the name Li Xiangping is simply a nightmare for the entire Korean Go community, so in the face of such a person, of course, everyone can't be prematurely optimistic.
Maybe it was because he saw that the atmosphere around him was too dull, so Lao Cao suddenly changed the topic:
"But then again, Shengqin's situation has prevailed, but this is an objective fact, this fact will not change because the opponent is Li Xiangping, so it is appropriate to say that "the white chess situation is expected", as for whether Shengqin can win, now it mainly depends on two points, the first is that Shengqin can't mess up his position, he must continue to play at a high level, and continue to put pressure on the opponent, second, it depends on whether Li Xiangping will play against the wind, Can he come up with anything that works in the face of such adversity? But seriously, I suddenly noticed that Li Xiangping rarely seems to play against the wind......"
Lao Cao's words successfully diverted everyone's attention, and everyone was really embarrassed when they thought about it, in everyone's impression, Li Xiangping seemed to really rarely play chess against the wind-----
Of course, this situation is normal, after all, Li Xiangping is a person who has armed some "dog moves", so compared with the human layout of this era, "dog moves" are undoubtedly advanced, and it is precisely because of this advanced nature that he rarely lags behind in the layout stage.
Since he doesn't lag behind in the layout stage, he of course rarely plays against the wind.
One thing must be mentioned, of course, Li Xiangping in the past will also lose chess, but most of him loses because of his lack of skill, and is crushed by others in the middle and back game, this situation even includes Lao Shi, so far, Lao Shi has lost to the most people, that is, of course, Li Canghao, and Li Canghao, of course, everyone knows, he and Lao Shi rarely have an advantage in the layout stage.
It is precisely for this reason that like today's game, Li Xiangping's situation has fallen behind a lot when he is less than 70 hands, which is really rare in the past.
It is precisely because of this rarity that many Koreans at the scene began to be faintly excited-----
Their reactions are also normal, since Li Xiangping rarely encounters a situation of headwind chess, does that mean that he is not good at dealing with this situation......
Especially when the latest game came around 2:20, some Koreans were even more excited-----
Because in this latest chess game, they didn't see any good chess played by Li Xiangping, and there was no magic move, not only that, but there were not even "eye-catching" moves, in the whole chess game, Li Xiangping seemed to be trying to clean up the mess and try his best to keep the situation from continuing to deteriorate.
Many Koreans began to be happy, especially the Go reporter who spoke just now, but when he was about to speak again, he found that Lao Cao's expression was different from most people.
The journalist seems to have excellent professional qualities, because he is very skillful in the use of the rudder:
"Cao Guoshou, look at this ......"
"Alas! Today can be regarded as seeing another skill of Li Xiangping, I only knew that he was extremely talented and was an unborn Go genius, but judging from the performance during this time, he is also a first-class winner and loser, well, at least he has the temperament of a top winner. ”
"Huh?!"
In the face of everyone's confusion, Lao Cao smiled and said: "Friends who like the NBA should have heard a sentence: it is called offense depends on talent, but defense depends on experience and attitude, in fact, I have always thought that this sentence should be appropriate in Go, but to change to win chess in good times depends on talent, and winning in adversity mainly depends on experience and attitude." ”
After a slight pause, Lao Cao continued:
"Don't look at Li Xiangping's recent tricks, which seem to be bland and unremarkable, but in my opinion, this is the attitude that should be under the disadvantage, and it is the most correct attitude, quite experienced, a good hand to stabilize the position and endure patience, otherwise what do you want to do in adversity? Unsure of the outcome of the hand? Or do you realize that you have been disadvantaged and start to be greedy for merit and rush for success? ”
Lao Cao's two rhetorical questions made everyone silent, think about it, Li Xiangping's method in this paragraph is what Koreans are best at and most familiar with.
As for why do you say that? Refer to Li Canghao.
Li Xiangping's method of patiently waiting for the opportunity in this paragraph, isn't that exactly the same as Li Canghao?
It's just that in the past, Li Canghao could often wait for his own opportunities, so what about today? Can Li Xiangping wait for his own opportunity?
At 2:40 p.m., in the game room, Li Xiangping certainly couldn't hear Lao Cao's discussion next door, but at this time, he had indeed completely adjusted his state and began to wait patiently for his own opportunity.
Li Xiangping even believes that this is also one of the charms of human Go, and if this chess is played by Go AI today, then his black chess basically has no chance.
However, human games are different, as long as you are human, you can make mistakes, and as long as your opponent is likely to make mistakes, then of course you still have a chance.
Can Li Xiangping wait? The game continues step by step.
