In the first game of the "LG Cup" semifinals, Li Xiangping VS Li Canghao, when the game was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping made a seemingly good hand.

And at the same time that Da Li was taking the long exam, in the viewing room next door, Reporter Xie of the "sports world" couldn't sit still-----

He was mixed in with a bunch of Koreans just now, and he also knew that Lao Cao Daliu had a good evaluation of Li Xiangping's chess move, but these comments were all relayed to him by his Korean colleagues.

So Lao Xie was ready to come back to his own side, and wanted to find a master to explain to himself in detail.

Because to be honest, although there are Lao Cao Da Liu and others in the evaluation, but Lao Xie still understands a little can't ah, with his strong industry 2 weak industry 3 chess strength, Li Xiangping's chess just now, it is really too ordinary.

Obviously he didn't have much danger in a piece of chess, so why did he add a hand?

If you can still have a certain number of meshes while reinforcing yourself, then Lao Xie can still understand it, and he knows that it is called "thick chess with meshes", which is a very pleasant way to play. However, Li Xiangping's chess hand just now, it really didn't have any meshes at all, and it was only 1 or 2 meshes to die, which was basically no different from "single official".

When the overall situation is less than 100 hands, can you still allow the next single official?

Isn't this usually a "slow move" in the conventional sense?

Especially in today's pattern, in the opinion of reporter Xie, the offensive and defensive battle in the middle of the abdomen should be the focus at the moment, right? Then Li Xiangping's hand just now not only looked slow, but even suspected of leaving the main battlefield.

However, in his own eyes, how could he still get such a high evaluation from Lao Cao Da Liu and them?

Could it be that they have all been scared by Li Xiangping now? So develop a kind of blind confidence in his chess?

So Lao Xie couldn't figure it out, he needed to find a master to help him explain.

And today, Ma Xiaofei is the only one who can be called a master on the Chinese research lineup, so after returning here, Lao Xie found him as soon as possible.

"Ma Xiaoma, please help me tell me what Xiangping's hand just now means, why can't I understand this chess piece."

Ma Xiaofei smiled: "What do Koreans say about this hand?" ”

"They have a very high evaluation, especially Lao Cao, he just said that as soon as Xiangping's chess hand is played, Da Li's game of chess may be very difficult."

"Oh? Is that really what Lao Cao said? Ma Xiaofei expressed a little surprise and continued:

"That Lao Cao may be concerned about the chaos, a hand of chess makes it difficult for Da Li to play, this must be a bit exaggerated, but then again, Xiangping's hand is really good, a bit ordinary at a rough look, it is difficult for ordinary people to think about this place, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that this chess hand is quite connotative, it is the kind of high chess that really seems to be small and big......."

As one of the most senior full-time Go reporters in China, Ma Xiaofei is of course familiar with Lao Xie and knows his chess strength, so he analyzes this move according to the opponent's chess strength:

"Xie reporter, you also know that in Go, some means are called small but big, such as some "two-way sticky", and some "two-way pulling", etc., these chess are very ordinary from the means of view, and there is nothing remarkable in the number of meshes, but at some times, especially when it is related to the thickness of both sides, for example, sometimes you have a "two-way sticky", if you grab this hand, then your own chess is completely alive, and at the same time let the opponent expose some thin taste, if the opponent snatches it, The opponent's chess becomes iron thick, and your chess as a whole is not alive, then like this kind of chess, it can be considered as small but big, even if you play this kind of chess in the layout stage, it will not be wrong most of the time, and Xiangping's hand just now, that is a typical small but big ......"

Well, the reporter Xie is an amateur and has a level, so of course he still understands things like this kind of "small but big".

However, there is a problem now: like what Ma Xiaofei just said, "two-way sticky", even if its value is calculated purely from the perspective of officials, it is usually more than 12 mesh in the back hand. "Two-way pulling", the basic standard is the back hand 8 mesh.

Although the value of such an official is not particularly large, it is more than one eye, but Li Xiangping's hand just now seems to have only one or two chess.

"But Ma Xiao......"

Before Lao Xie could say his doubts, Ma Xiaofei seemed to already know what he was thinking:

"Hehe, Lao Xie, you want to say that although this chess move is extremely thick, the number of meshes is too small, right? If Xiangping plays like this, will there be pressure on the real space behind it, let me tell you, his chess hand is actually purposeful, and the number of eyes is not small. ”

"Eyed?"

Ma Xiaofei nodded and said: "Of course there is a goal, Lao Xie, don't forget, when we judge whether a hand of chess "has a goal", we can not only look at its enclosing efficiency, but also look at its efficiency of breaking the air, for example, if you play a hand of chess, it can help you enclose 10 memes, and the other hand of chess, it can help you break the opponent's 10 meshes, so in Go, the value of these two hands is exactly the same, Lao Xie, do you say that is the case? ”

In this regard, the reporter did not squeak------

Of course there is no need for him to squeak, Ma Xiaofei said this truth is so superficial, it is the kind of truth that even a novice who doesn't understand Go can quickly understand, of course the reporter Xie doesn't have to open his mouth to respond.

Ma Xiaofei continued: "And Xiangping's chess just now, although its enclosing efficiency is not high, but it has a good efficiency of breaking the air, you see that after this move, the appearance of the white chess has actually been affected, and it has been greatly compressed, so of course you have to think that it has a certain mesh value." ”

"And how much do you think it's worth?"

"I don't know."

Seeing that Reporter Xie was staring at him, Ma Xiaofei paused and then continued to smile and said: "Don't look at me like this, I really don't know now, I think this is actually the difficult place of Go, because the problem now occurs in the middle of the chessboard, and the calculation of the number of meshes in the middle of the belly is actually the most difficult." For example, let's assume that before Li Xiangping's move, Da Li's appearance could surround 40 meshes, and after this move, you see here....."

Speaking of this, Ma Xiaofei pointed to a place on the chessboard: this is a "breakpoint":

“..... With this chess, in addition to the original breakpoint, there is one more breakpoint here, considering that after the black chess strengthens a hand, his own chess has become an iron queen, and his iron opponent has one more breakpoint, so there is nothing to say that the opponent's appearance must be compressed, and now it is impossible to surround 40 meshes, but I can now be sure that the white chess appearance has been compressed, but to what extent will it be compressed? Is it 30 mesh? 25 mesh? Is it more or less? Then I don't know now, it depends on the process of the two sides. ”

Reporter Xie heard a little bit of meaning: "I just heard Lao Cao over there say that he thinks that after Xiangping's chess came out, Da Li has been a little difficult to do, so can I understand that: he actually thinks that the value of this chess hand is quite large, and the appearance of white chess may be compressed very much, and you don't seem to agree with him just now, so do you think that this chess hand may not be so strict?" ”

Ma Xiaofei said with a smile: "I didn't say that, let's explain it this way, the reason why Lao Cao and I have a deviation in judgment is because this kind of place is really difficult, and we are not afraid to tell the truth, at the level of me and Lao Cao, we can't see clearly at all about this kind of judgment of the number of mid-abdomen eyes." Of course, more importantly, it is because we have a stance when watching the game, which has a certain tendency, which actually affects the judgment very much. As far as I'm concerned, of course, my position is to hope that Xiangping can win, so when watching chess, it will naturally have a feeling of "this may not be enough", obviously it is enough to compress 10 meshes, but I always hope that he can compress as much as possible, and he can compress 15 meshes, 20 meshes are the best, so that I will feel that this kind of chess that only compresses 10 meshes is average. And standing in Lao Cao's position, of course he is completely opposite to me, compressing 10 meshes will feel that it is too much, he will feel pain, and it is this feeling of pain that will make him worry about Da Li, and will say things like "Da Li may be difficult". ”

After explaining this, Ma Xiaofei continued:

"But then again, regardless of whether there is a difference in my judgment with Lao Cao, but Xiangping's hand must be considered a good move, that's for sure, I even think that after seeing this move, I feel that his chess has risen again."

Ma Xiaofei's words aroused the interest of reporter Xie, don't look at Li Xiangping is now a five-time champion, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is still just a 16-year-old boy, isn't he? Since it is this age, it is of course still in the growth stage in theory.

"Oh? Ma Xiao, why do you say that? ”

"The reason is very simple, because in the past, he basically never played this kind of chess."

Ma Xiaofei paused and continued to smile: "We all know how powerful Xiangping is, his overall situation, his combat effectiveness, and his unique understanding of chess...... Of course, there is no need to say much about these, but have you noticed Lao Xie, in fact, before this, Li Xiangping had a ...... that never played chess."

Before Ma Xiaofei finished speaking, Reporter Xie interrupted impatiently:

"He never played any chess?"

"Floor-laying chess, Lao Xie, haven't you noticed, Li Xiangping has never played floor-laying chess before."

"Ahh Flooring? Hehehe....."

Ma Xiaofei also laughed with Reporter Xie, and after laughing, he continued:

"Is that so? And Xiangping's chess today, although this chess can have a lot of interpretations, but in essence, this is a way to lay the floor, but it is the kind of more advanced, rich connotation of the floor, this is actually the reason why I can't be as optimistic as Lao Cao, this is a chess must be a good hand, but Da Li is a master of laying the floor, he has been laying the floor there for many years, and Xiangping is the first time, so the outcome of this game of chess, I think we still have to see it. ”

"Hehe, let's see, let's see."

After chatting here, the two stopped talking and continued to pay attention to the progress of the chess game, and at this time, the latest chess game came out, and the number of hands in this chess game is relatively large, and the new chess game has been played to more than 120 hands.

"Hehe, Ma Xiao was really right, the two of them really started to lay the floor, but this chess ......"

Ma Xiaofei didn't say much else after reading the chess game:

"There's nothing to say about this chess, I can't blame every move and style on both sides, but then again, ......"

"Anyway, what?"

"Hehe, it's nothing..... It is..... Da Li just followed it ordinarily? Is there a problem with my judgment, or is his judgment biased......"

It's a pity that when Ma Xiaofei said the last words, his voice was already very low, so low that it seemed to be whispering there, so Reporter Xie didn't hear it clearly.

The game continued step by step, and before I knew it, it was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the game had already passed 150 moves.

By this time, in the viewing room, the two major research lineups of China and South Korea were already two completely different expressions.

The key word on the Korean side is "severe", from Lao Cao to Da Liu, from Da Liu to other chess players and reporters, almost all of them have grim expressions.

On the Chinese side, Ma Xiaofei's expression is the most representative, and he can't believe it now:

"Hey, what's going on? What the hell is going on with Da Li today? Here's how he ...... Isn't he euthanized today......"

Whether Da Li will be euthanized or not, the game will soon be decided.
