At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, Lao Shi's "first step" was something that all the chess players in the research room did not expect. And this move, which Mr. Wu Qingyuan called "a super strong player in line with chess theory", may also be unexpected by Li Canghao, because he seemed very cautious, and in the last half hour or so of the morning, he did not even play a single move.

Thus, White's 34th move became the last move of the morning, and the game would resume at 1 p.m.

During the one-hour break at noon, Li Xiangping naturally had no one to disturb them, but Lao Nie and Ma Xiao were not idle, and from time to time reporters came over to ask them how the situation was.

"It's only about 30 hands now, it's early, it's still early," Lao Nie said to reporters with a smile:

"Like today's chess, although it's too early to talk about the outcome now, but today's chess should look good, Xiangping's last hand is good or bad, but this is a hand full of momentum, and as soon as this chess hand appears on the chessboard, this game immediately becomes complex and changeable, belonging to the kind of very difficult to solve the open pattern, so everyone pay attention, the next battle should be the focus of this game."

When the reporter threw the same question to Ma Xiaofei, Ma Xiaofei's statement was actually similar to Lao Nie, he thought that it is difficult for the two sides to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, and it is far from the time to distinguish the winner and loser, but compared to Lao Nie, Ma Xiao still has one more sentence:

"But personally, I'm actually quite cautious about Xiangping, hehe."

Everyone asked him why he was optimistic about Li Xiangping, but Ma Xiaofei started from the characteristics of the chess styles of both sides, he thought that since the game was played in an open pattern, it was very likely that a chaotic war would form behind this game of chess, and as long as a chaotic war was formed, then this chess should be beneficial to Li Xiangping.

"Xiangping has also debuted for so long, can't everyone see his biggest advantage? This is a real strong man, his strength is great, the depth of the road is beyond imagination, to be honest compared with Li Xiangping, now those young chess players who are famous for their strength I think are not as good as him, like what Lee Sedol, and our ancient Dali, I think he is inferior in absolute strength, and since such a pattern has been formed today, then of course I am more optimistic about Xiangping. ”

Everyone didn't expect Ma Xiaofei to speak so highly of Li Xiangping, thinking that his strength far surpassed that of Gu Dali and Li Sedol, and then a reporter continued to ask, asking how Li Xiangping's strength compares with those famous "Hercules" in the history of Go.

However, Ma Xiaofei did not answer this question positively, thinking about it, it is also very understandable, because whether it is Li Xiangping or Gu Dali or Li Shishi, it can be regarded as Ma Xiao's junior, since this is the case, of course Ma Xiaofei can say what he said just now.

However, if Li Xiangping is compared with his predecessors, then Ma Xiao, even if he has a clear opinion, it is impossible for him to say it clearly in front of reporters.

"Hehe, I personally think that with the power of Xiangping, how can it be ranked in the top 5 in history."

After listening to Ma Xiaofei's words, a rookie reporter picked up at this time:

"Huh? It's even possible to rank in the top 5. ”

Ma Xiaofei looked at the rookie reporter, and he said in a joking tone:

"Actually, let me tell you, I originally wanted to rank Xiangping in the top 3, but then I thought about it, forget it, this time, Xiangping is still young, and I am afraid that he will be proud if the ranking is too high, what about these two..... In fact, it's because he's young, in my opinion, Xiangping is still playing chess, he actually still has a lot of potential, if he is ranked so early now, then I really don't know how to rank in the future. ”

"Hahaha."

Listening to Ma Xiaofei's words, the reporters let out a chuckle, as for Li Canghao's situation, everyone didn't mention it at all now, after all, Da Li is famous in the chess world for his "control flow", and in the eyes of everyone, his absolute strength has never been his strong point. Although some people now say that his chess style is quietly changing, after all, he has been famous for more than 10 years, and many people's opinions about him have long been ingrained.

"If you don't believe me, just watch it again in the afternoon and see if what I said is right."

Ma Xiaofei finally ended his "noon review" with such a sentence. However, when the afternoon game began, especially at half past two in the afternoon, when the overall situation was down to more than 70 hands, Ma Xiaofei didn't know what to say in the face of the new process of the chess game.

If you look at it roughly, Ma Xiaofei seems to be suspected of being slapped in the face, because the "chaotic battle" he expected at noon did not appear at this time.

However, if you analyze it carefully, Ma Xiaofei doesn't look like he was slapped in the face, because so far, Li Xiangping's tactics are completely different from the past, he didn't create chaos, he didn't go to slash and kill, and he didn't show his terrifying calculation, but he went down very solidly, and the pace seemed to be very slow, how slow was it? It was so slow that it looked like the "crocodile waiting" before Li Canghao.

On the other hand, Li Canghao, who is in charge of black, is very active in this game, very active, and takes the initiative to create all kinds of clues on the chessboard, with a posture of actively seeking battle. Not only that, Da Li's pace of chess today is also very bright, so bright that several of his moves have been praised by "speed" masters such as Mr. Wu and Lao Cao.

It is precisely because of this that at around 2:40 p.m., Lao Nie repeated the old words in the viewing room, and he once again questioned the notators, saying that they had reversed the players on both sides of the black and white sides.

Not to mention, Lao Nie's doubts are really supported by many people, because for this battle of the focus of the world chess world, there are countless articles on various analysis and predictions some time ago, and everyone has imagined various situations that may occur, but seriously, today's situation is really beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Canghao's chess looks like Li Xiangping?

Li Xiangping's method looks like Li Canghao?

This is certainly something that no one could have imagined before the game.

Of course, what kind of play the two sides take is not the point, the real point is: now it is almost 80 moves, so at this stage, you can almost judge the overall situation, so in the viewing room, after talking about the topic of chess style reversal for a while, we quickly focused on the situation judgment.

Zhang Da, a reporter from the "Go World", is at the level of 6 in the industry, so when he reaches his level, of course, he will have his own judgment. At around 2:40 p.m., reporter Zhang Da made a judgment on the situation himself, of course, because there were so many masters in the viewing room today, of course he was embarrassed to say his judgment in public, so he grabbed Ma Xiaofei and asked in a whisper:

"Ma Xiao, do you think Xiangping is a little abnormal today, why did he get like this today?"

"Oh, don't you think Xiangping is bad? What's bad? ”

"This.... At my level, of course, I don't dare to say that Xiangping is not playing well, but I feel that the good points on the chessboard seem to have been robbed by black chess. ”

Ma Xiaofei smiled: "Just because of this, do you think Li Xiangping is not good?" ”

"This ...... Isn't that so. ”

Ma Xiaofei smiled again; "Is that how I can figure it out, okay, since neither of us can understand it, then let's use the most traditional method to judge the situation, did you just look at it? Now who on both sides has more real space? ”

"This.... Judging from the current situation, of course, it is more definite and empty for white chess, but doesn't people have a big appearance of black chess, this appearance is so big......"

Ma Xiaofei interrupted reporter Zhang Da's words: "Of course the appearance should be big, if there is not even a lot of concrete space in the appearance, then what else is this chess play, okay, let me ask you again, reporter Zhang, do you think that the black chess is based on this appearance, can he circle as many fields as the white chess?" ”

"This ....."

Reporter Zhang Da said "this" for the fourth time;

"How do I know this, there are still so many places in this shape that are not finalized, of course it is impossible to circle them all, but even if it is compressed a little, it seems that the number of meshes will not be small. Why, Ma Xiao, do you think that the appearance of black chess is not enough? ”

"I didn't say that," Ma continued:

"I only know the appearance of black chess, and now it is the key to victory or defeat, in other words, the victory or defeat of this game of chess has been completely determined by this appearance, you also know, this appearance must not be all enclosed, white chess must compress it, and to what extent it can be compressed, the most important thing is to see the thickness of the two sides, reporter Zhang, I ask you again, what do you think is the thickness of the two sides at present?"

"This ..... White chess is very solid today, especially the hand just now, which is obviously already alive, and Li Xiangping is still reinforcing a hand on it, so this chess should be considered thicker than white. ”

Speaking of this, the big reporter woke up:

"Ma Xiao, do you think that this chess ...... This chess is not bad for white chess? ”

Ma Xiaofei nodded: "Of course, this chess is not bad for white chess, especially the move you just said without chess to make up for itself, alas, when I first saw this chess, I also thought it was a little slow, but now it seems that this is a good move, this move not only contains a few chess itself, but also makes itself thicker as a whole, and there is no worry about it when it is encroached upon, so it is of great value, good chess, really good chess." ”

Hearing Ma Xiaozai's sigh of emotion, Zhang Da reporter smiled and said: "Chess like this used to be what Da Li was best at, Ma Xiao, don't you say?" ”

"yes!" Ma Xiaofei continued to sigh:

"In the past, I have suffered a lot of such losses on Da Li, I really didn't expect that Li Xiangping would also do this trick, hehe, I suddenly thought of "Tianlong Babu" now, what is the name of Nan Murong's martial arts in it? ”

Reporter Zhang Da answered: "The stars are moving. ”

"Yes, yes, Dou Zhuan Xing Shift, Dou Zhuan Xing Shift, hehe, the two of them actually used this trick at the same time today, that's okay, then let's see who is more powerful in Dou Zhuan Xing Xing Kung Fu."
