Chapter 437: Broken Dreams
In the game room, Li Xiangping fell the 251st hand of the whole world, and with the slight movement of Da Li's body, Li Xiangping immediately noticed the strangeness of the opponent, and to tell the truth, he smelled a little dangerous breath at the first time.
Of course, this situation is not surprising, and although Go is called "hand talk", for some players with a particularly keen sense of smell, he is able to capture useful information from the subtle reactions of his opponents.
Among them, they can judge what the opponent thinks according to their words and deeds, mannerisms, some habitual actions during the game, and even according to the opponent's breathing rate.
The above is not Li Xiangping's nonsense, but the real existence of the Go world.
Among them, the most famous, the weirdest, and the most interesting example happened to the former "Nie Ma Shuangxiong" in the Chinese chess world.
That was seven or eight years ago in real history, before Ma Xiaofei won his first world title.
At that time, Ma Xiaofei had actually dominated the domestic chess scene, and most of the domestic titles had been concentrated in his hands, but because he had not yet been able to reach the top in the international arena, plus the old Nie Yuwei was still there, so when everyone mentioned Chinese Go, it was still "Nie and Ma Shuangxiong", and Nie was in front and Ma was behind.
So at that time, a professional Go magazine in China (that is, the Shanghai Xinmin Go magazine, which was later discontinued) held a special chess battle and let these two play a seven-game chess.
To say that the process of this seven-game chess is also quite interesting, Lao Nie first came to a three-game winning streak to put Ma ** into a desperate situation, and then Ma Xiao pulled 3 sets in a row to drag the game into a decisive game.
This anecdote happened in the tiebreaker.
In the first half of the tiebreaker, Lao Nie showed his excellent view of the big picture, he conceived a big switch when he was in his 80s, and suddenly abandoned a big chess piece worth more than 40 goals to forcibly operate the mid-belly, and established an advantage in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is not the focus of the story, after all, Lao Nie at that time, it was normal for him to show his excellent overall view in the game, and he could often see such chess in his games at that time.
The point is that not long after that, a more accurate description is that in the third move after the completion of the big conversion, Lao Nie soon made a mistake, and because of that mistake, Lao Nie had actually given away the advantage, and the situation at that time had actually become Ma Xiaofei slightly ahead.
However, this is not the most interesting, after all, at that time, Lao Nie, spoon and stupid moves were already with him, and that level of mistake in that game of chess was already his regular operation.
What's really interesting about that game of chess is that the two players were unaware of Lao Nie's mistake and the de facto reversal of the overall situation.
It is precisely because of this that the later games are fun, especially at the last moment, Ma Xiaofei, who mistakenly thought that he was going to lose half of the goal, launched the final resistance, (well, his last resistance is the unique "sticky robbery after harvesting" under the Chinese Go rules, he thought that this could be reversed).
In the end, it was a tragedy, due to the lack of robbery materials, he finally failed to succeed in this "sticky robbery".
In fact, it is not a tragedy that there is not enough robbery, the funniest thing about this game of chess is that if Ma Xiaofei does not launch that resistance, he will end the game step by step and honestly, that game of chess is half a goal that he can win, but as a result, he resisted like this, causing him to lose a chess game at the last moment.
It was precisely because of this chess that the victory and defeat were reversed, and Lao Nie finally won the tiebreaker with a half-eye advantage, and he also won the entire series by virtue of this game.
When the game was reviewed at the end of the game, when the onlookers told Ma Xiaofei the truth and asked him why he was messing around at the last moment, poor Ma Xiao was stunned at the time, and his face became flushed, he told everyone that he was actually deceived by Lao Nie's micro-expression, because during the whole game, whether it was Lao Nie's gestures, or his sitting posture, or even his small actions such as drinking water and smoking, none of them were his mannerisms when he had an advantage, and when the big conversion was just completed, Ma Xiao himself was also judged by the situation once, and at that time, it was indeed Lao Nie's situation that prevailed. It's all that comes together that leads to the hilarious scene at the end.....
Of course, if you want to understand the opponent's psychology just by relying on micro-expressions, this usually requires the kind of old opponent who is particularly familiar, such as Nie Ma, the two of them have officially played more than 100 games, plus when Ma Xiao was young, Lao Nie, as the head coach of the national team, also coached him......
Back to today's game, Li Xiangping's debut time is not long, although so far, Da Li is already the person who has played with him the most in official competitions, but it is only double digits, and the two have not even played 30 games, so under normal circumstances, Li Xiangping still can't do this.
But who made Li Xiangping a person with a plug-in?
Of course, it's not that his plug-in has given him any micro-expression training, it's just that in the past games, most of the time it was people who made shots, so as the closest bystander, this allowed Li Xiangping to train the ability to observe the opponent's micro-expressions.
And today, it was precisely because of his ability that he was aware of the danger for the first time, so he now clearly read:
Hey!? After I played this move, how did this guy immediately feel that his chance had come......
It is precisely because of this feeling that Li Xiangping did not dare to be careless, and before the opponent did not fall, he also re-examined the chess he had just fallen.
Under this careful scrutiny, Li Xiangping quickly discovered the problem, and after discovering the problem, Li Xiangping's heart sank slightly.
Because he suddenly found that his hand just now was indeed a little problematic----- although it was not a particularly serious problem hand, but it lacked rigor, and he seemed to have forgotten to exchange a hand, and missed an exchange that could ensure that he maintained a slight advantage.
“...... Alas! Fighting with someone like Da Li, that really can't be careless for a moment, no, such an inconspicuous mistake may be mixed up with other people, but looking at his current appearance, he shouldn't be able to mix it up here, there's nothing to think about, and then it's up to him how he tosses...... I'd better think about how to resist his toss first, and try to minimize the loss......."
Unconsciously, Li Xiangping slowly eliminated all distractions, and he had concentrated all his thoughts on the chessboard in front of him.
What even Li Xiangping himself doesn't know is that, putting aside other aspects, at least in terms of "the temperament of the winner and loser", he has improved compared to before.
For example, in today's chess, if he suddenly found that he had made a mistake in the past, then he would not say anything "panic" or anything like that, but at least there would be a "blank brain" for a short time.
Fortunately today, so far, he has not had this situation, not only did he not have a "blank brain", but he even used a relatively quick time to put aside all distractions and return to the best state of the game.
For Li Xiangping, this is certainly a big improvement.
But it's a pity that Li Xiangping hasn't noticed his progress yet.
Not only that, but what is even more regrettable than this is that in today's competition of this level, especially against Da Li, who is still at his peak, this level of progress is simply not enough.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon Korean time, Li Canghao began to fall---- he didn't really think about it for long this time, because at this time, he had already entered the countdown, not only him, but Li Xiangping also had no time to take the long test, because he also entered the countdown.
In all fairness, in fact, in the battle between the two sides, Li Xiangping played quite well, and he at least fully played his normal level.
However, it is still the same sentence, what he is facing today is Da Li who is still at his peak, especially today's fine chess pattern, which is exactly what Da Li is best at, so in the competition between the two during this time, Da Li has become the indispensable protagonist, although Li Xiangping, who has performed well, can only support it there now.
The time has unconsciously come to South Korea at about 5:40 p.m. Korean time, when Da Li gently twisted a white piece, he slapped the white piece firmly onto the chessboard.
This hand is exactly the 300th move overall
When Li Xiangping completely saw this move, Li Xiangping finally had a short "brain blank".
There is no other reason, because this move, which he did not calculate in the countdown, although he did not calculate it himself, but after he saw this move clearly, he knew:
It's a good move, a subtle finish.
Because of this chess move, Li Xiangping wanted to achieve the dream of "Golden Slam" this year, but his dream was shattered.
