Chapter 294: Brilliant Defense
"Well, that's a strange thing....."
At more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xu's good hand of "the last in the first" instantly stopped Li Xiangping, and just when he was thinking hard about countermeasures, the on-site viewing room next door was of course not idle, and everyone discussed this matter.
The first to speak was Wang Yi Wuduan: "I suddenly found out now that Xiangping is a Korean chess player, that is still very experienced, from Lao Cao to Da Li, and then from Da Liu to Xiao Li, Xiangping is simply a trick for them, but against Japanese chess players, Xiangping doesn't seem to be very adaptable, many chess are like today, he often falls into a hard battle in the prelude, everyone says is not so?" ”
In fact, it can be seen from this sentence that Wang Yi is still quite careful. At the beginning of Shi Daqisheng's crossing, because he was not very familiar with the modern layout of the small eye system, this led to the fact that in the early stage, this aspect was actually his weakness, and it can also be considered the biggest weakness of the early old Shi.
It's just that when playing against Korean players, this weakness is rarely reflected, and the reason is, of course, everyone on the earth knows that layout has never been the strong point of Koreans, even when they are at their best.
On the contrary, some old Japanese super-first-class brands often make Lao Shi deflated in this regard, such as Kato, Lao Zhao, and Lao Shi also fell into a bitter battle when the transition from the prelude to the middle game.
It's just that Wang Yi's words were despised by reporter Zhang Da, and he didn't think so at all:
"Tut-tut, I said Wangbu, you're just, Xiangping is not suitable for Japanese chess players? It's not at all. ”
was said to be "", and Minister Wang Da of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Chess Academy was naturally unhappy, to say that his age was actually about the same age as reporter Zhang Da, and at this time he also began to rely on the old and sell the old:
"Xiao Zhang, what do you mean, why did my words become? You make it clear to me. ”
"Hehe, do you need to say this, Wang Bu, think about it carefully, since Xiangping's debut, have you ever seen him lose to a Japanese chess player? As long as you can remember a plate, then I will immediately apologize and admit that what you just said was not. ”
"This ......"
Minister Wang was speechless for a moment, indeed, due to the rampant Korean Wave in recent years, Li Xiangping has encountered most Korean chess players in the World Championship, especially after the semi-finals, this tendency is even more obvious.
However, Li Xiangping has debuted for so many years after all, and although he has not met many Japanese chess players, they are close to double digits now.
So far, Li Xiangping has won all the games against Japanese players! The win rate is a terrifying 100%!
Thinking of this, Minister Wang was of course speechless.
And when he saw Wang Yiwuduan deflated, the big reporter naturally became more and more proud, and now he said in an old-fashioned tone:
"How? Now I don't have anything to say, so Wang Bu, let me tell you, what Xiangping is really not used to now seems to be only in the domestic arena, in other words, now only domestic chess players can make him deflated, and then it will be the turn of the Koreans, as for the Japanese chess players? Inexistent! Take this game of chess as an example, don't look at Zhang Xu now, but Wang Bu, you wait, I believe that it won't be long before Xiangping will definitely find a way to turn the situation around. ”
Hearing reporter Zhang Da mention Li Xiangping's attribute of being a "layman in the civil war", Wang Yi was also happy in his heart, and he asked Shao Weigang next to him:
"By the way, Wei Gang, you are still on the front line, so what do you first-line chess players think of this situation?"
Shao Weigang smiled: "I'm ashamed to say it, although I am now the captain of the national Go team, but I, the captain, have never had the opportunity to ask Xiangping for advice in the official game, no investigation has no right to speak, according to people like me, of course, they are not qualified to evaluate Xiangping, but I can tell you very clearly that in my mind, Li Xiangping is of course the NO1 in today's chess world, and I believe that not only me, but more than 90% of the first-line chess players in China, their views should be the same as mine, will think that Li Xiangping is the strongest one now...... Oh, it seems that the chess game is out, let's not talk about it, let's see if Xiangping has come up with a good move....."
It was reporter Zhang Da who took the lead in taking over the chess score, but he was very conscious this time, and he handed it directly to Shao Weigang without reading it, because before this, the viewing room had also analyzed Zhang Xu's move "after the first", and reporter Zhang Da still had this self-knowledge, involving such a complex and far-reaching calculation, he knew that even if he saw Li Xiangping's response, he would not be able to see the good or bad for a while.
Shao Weigang was watching chess, and reporter Zhang Da was observing his expression.
Reporter Zhang Da noticed: Shao Weigang Jiuduan was in the process of watching the chess game, there was surprise and surprise in his expression, which was clearly seeing Li Xiangping's good chess, but his surprise was a little closed, not the kind of big surprise that completely let go.
Reporter Zhang Da couldn't help it: "How is Wei Gang?" What the hell is going on now....."
"Genius!" Shao Weigang first came to such an emotion, and then pointed to the chess game and said to reporter Zhang Da.
Reporter Zhang Da noticed that Shao Weigang was referring to the first hand of this chess game, that is, the 55th move of the overall game.
Then this chess move, of course, is under Li Xiangping.
"Just from this chess hand, you can see that Li Xiangping is really a great genius, a great genius who surpasses the vast majority of chess players in today's chess world, take me as an example, although I thought about it for so long just now, but I didn't even touch the edge of this move, this is really a wonderful step to the pinnacle of defense......."
Let's put down how the captain of the national team bragged about Li Xiangping without mentioning it, and returned to the game room, although the 55th move of the whole world was praised by Shao Jiuduan, but Li Xiangping, who played this chess hand, still looks preoccupied.
Well, of course, Li Xiangping's current appearance is not pretending, because he knows very well in his heart that although his move is good, it is just a good move to defend.
In other words, after this 55th move, the situation of the black chess can still be maintained, and it will not collapse immediately, but it is limited to that, his own move, in fact, still can't stop the opponent's impact, and when the opponent grabs the "two-way jump", their losses are inevitable, the difference is only in the problem of losing more and less.
Returning to the viewing room next door, after listening to Shao Weigang's nine-paragraph detailed explanation, reporter Zhang Da suddenly said:
"Listening to you say this, Xiangping's hand is a bit like Mr. Wu Qingyuan's 161st hand, is that what it means?"
Shao Weigang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, that's what this chess hand means......"
"Mr. Wu's 161st move" has become an allusion to the Go world in modern times. The story comes from one of the most famous games of the last century, that is, Wu Qingyuan VS Xiuya's "Twentieth Century War".
In that game of chess, it can be said that in addition to Mr. Wu's earth-shattering opening of "Star Position, Sansan, Tianyuan", it is of course the 160th move of Xiuya celebrity who is the most famous.
Because this hand is the winner of that game of chess, as soon as this hand is played, it can be said that the outcome of that game of chess is already doomed, and Mr. Wu's small defeat cannot be avoided.
Therefore, in the last century, everyone was mainly talking about this chess hand, and there were many stories, such as veteran chess fans know, there has always been a saying in the last century: this chess hand was not played by Hideya himself, but he called his disciples to study collectively through the right to "hang", and finally Maeda Chen Er thought of this decisive move.
Ignore this rumor for now, probably because this famous game is too famous, and after the new century, Mr. Wu's 161st hand seems to have become another hot spot.
Li Xiangping vaguely remembered that the first person to mention this move in the new century was none other than the Chinese chess player Gu Dali, who said when he re-explained this game of chess:
In fact, compared to the 160th move, he admires Mr. Wu's 161st hand more, because that move looks a little weird, it is indeed the strongest resistance and the best response in the current situation, that move not only reflects Mr. Wu's extraordinary talent, but also reflects his strong heart.
A strong heart that quickly stabilizes its position in the face of severe blows from its opponents and can immediately find the best response.
In the end, Gu Dali even believed that it was precisely because Mr. Wu had these two qualities that he was able to stand out from the crowd and achieve the Shiban chess myth of the year.
After listening to Shao Weigang's detailed explanation of the ninth paragraph, reporter Zhang Da lost interest in speaking.
Indeed, Li Xiangping's hand is indeed very similar to "Mr. Wu's 161st move", and this move also shows extraordinary talent, and it may also be the best response in the current situation.
However, you must know that in the end, Mr. Wu lost, so today, will Li Xiangping also taste defeat for the first time in front of Japanese chess players?
Reporter Zhang Da looked in the direction of the game room and muttered silently:
“..... No, probably not, compared with Mr. Wu's game, Xiangping has at least two advantages today, the first advantage, Mr. Wu's game is already 161 hands, and Xiangping is now in 55 hands, since it is still so early, of course there is more room for maneuver, so Xiangping must still have a chance, the second and more important advantage, today's game of chess, then his opponent has no other people to support him......."
Reporter Zhang Da's wish is of course good, and his idea is of course reasonable, but unfortunately in the next period of time, although Li Xiangping is quite good, his opponent is also playing well.
Li Xiangping tried his best to stir up the situation, but all of them were easily resolved by Zhang Xu.
At 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the whole situation has passed 200 moves, and the situation of black chess has not improved significantly.
Reporter Zhang Da's heart sank to the bottom, and he was even ready to accept the reality of Li Xiangping's defeat. At this time, it was finally okay, Li Xiangping in the game room did not give up, and in the urging of the second count, even Li Xiangping himself felt a little strange that he could maintain such a peaceful state of mind.
Li Xiangping is waiting patiently, looking for his last chance.
