Li Xiangping remembers that before the birth of Go AI, human beings often discussed Go, discussing what is the essence of this so-called most complex intellectual game for human beings.

The answers were varied.

Among them, especially those liberal arts students, they gave various interpretations of Go.

Later, Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the former "king" of human professional chess players, gave an answer, he said: The essence of Go is actually life and death and officials.

It must be admitted that his answer has dissatisfied many people, especially some people with more serious literary and youth diseases, they may think that such a statement is too simple, right? It's so simple that you can't feel the unfathomable profundity of Go at all.

What about the realm of goodness? What about the forced qualifications? What about the unpredictable and mysterious? In his answer, how can people not see these things?

Well, liberal arts students may think like this, but if you are a science and engineering man, or your thinking is closer to the thinking pattern of a science and engineering man, then you may think that Mr. Wu's words are simply too right, and this is definitely the standard answer that is closest to the correct solution.

Li Xiangping is a science and engineering man, and he believes that most of his thinking is basically the thinking mode of a science and engineering man

--------- although Lao Shi said that he really played chess like a liberal arts student, he still stubbornly believed that he must still be a science and engineering man in nature, and the reason why he still plays chess like a liberal arts student only shows that he still has room for improvement.

It is precisely because Li Xiangping thinks that he is still a science and engineering man, so he feels that Mr. Wu's discussion on the "essence of Go" is simply too right.

Others don't care about him, but if you want to be a Go master, especially if you want to become a professional chess player, you must remember that all your learning, all your training, is actually centered on these two elements, the first element is the official, and the second element is life and death.

These two elements are not only the starting point of Go, but also the end point of any Go competition, about this, even after the dog was born------ just because the level of the dog is too high, so high that the life and death of the dog era and the official, human beings have not seen it before.

Since these two elements are the most important elements of Go, the question arises: when you are in the next game of Go, especially when you feel that you are already behind in the situation, and you are ready to look for a breakthrough, which element will you focus your thinking on?

Most chess players will focus on life and death, and only a small number of more alternative, alternative to the like South Korea's Da Lee, will focus on the official side.

Li Xiangping has certainly never been an alternative chess player, so today, just now, when he was ready to find a breakthrough, he naturally focused on life and death.

Of course, in Go, there is a wide range of difficulties in life-and-death questions, just like the common Go life-and-death problems, some are beginner difficulty, some are intermediate difficulty, and there are also advanced difficulty and professional difficulty.

And Li Xiangping's latest hand just now, the 89th hand of black chess, he thinks that it is very difficult, maybe even if it is placed in the category of professional Go, this should be very difficult, so although he calculated that his hand seems to have a loophole, he still decided to give it a try.

This is Li Xiangping's hand of chess after more than half an hour of long examination, and his hand of chess, no one thought of the previous plan, so there is nothing to say, when this chess appeared on the chessboard, the opponent Xiao Li also fell into the long test, and a group of national players in the national team immediately launched a heated discussion on this.

What does Xiao Li think and don't care about it, just talk about the situation of the Chinese Chess Academy.

When the group of people in the Chess Academy saw Li Xiangping's chess, they didn't have time to start researching, and a group of young national players led by Gu Dali praised Li Xiangping like that, praised his talent, and praised him for not being a Go genius.

It can't be considered that these are Li Xiangping's brainless fans, and they are not brainless.

Because of Li Xiangping's chess, no one thought that he could play like this before, and there are so many masters in the Chinese Chess Academy today, but no one even thought of this move.

Not only that, when everyone saw this move, everyone intuitively felt that it was like a good move, very much like the kind of good chess that could open the situation in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, just the above two points, everyone will not be embarrassed when they praise Li Xiangping, and no one will feel numb-------

This is actually the reason why Li Xiangping has always disliked others calling him a genius. Because in his opinion, in the professional Go circle, the standard of "genius" is really a bit low.

Take the mid-game battle of Go as an example, the standard for measuring genius in the professional Go circle, the basic arithmetic is first ignored by everyone, which means that everyone will never think of you as a genius because of how deep you are and how accurate you are.

Because in this regard, the vast majority of professional chess players are about the same, and there will not be much difference between the super-first-class and the new beginner who has just entered the stage.

So just in the mid-game, everyone measures the standard of "genius": one is to look at your ability to capture fighters, but to look at your ability to build fighters.

If you do the first point, others will praise you for your "keen sense of smell", which can already be called a junior Go genius.

If you can do the second point often, you can often create your own opportunities to fight, which is a very rare talent.

And Li Xiangping's black 89 just now, it seems that it is such a move, as soon as this move is played, it seems that the whole chessboard has become a mess, as if there are many possibilities suddenly.

It is precisely because of this that after other people saw this, they didn't care about him whether this chess move was successful or not, and praised Li Xiangping a few times before speaking.

After the people are praised, the next step is naturally specific research, today there are many people and great strength, so it will not take a while, and everyone will quickly draw a preliminary conclusion.

"Alas~~~ It's a pity to play this chess,"

The first to speak was still Gu Dali, and after reaching a preliminary conclusion, he said with regret:

"The boss's hand looks like a good move, but it doesn't seem to work, there is no way, he himself has two weak pieces, so it can't be established with a strong one......."

The others were silent when they heard this, because although Li Xiangping's move was unexpected, but after it appeared on the chessboard, the apparent intention still seemed simple and clear.

Since Li Xiangping is using life and death as a breakthrough, then of course he is making a fuss about the lone chess on the chessboard.

So far, Xiao Li has only one weak piece on the board, so on the surface, his black 89 just now is like looking for a weird power point, and he is ready to attack that weak piece, expecting to use such an attack to erase the previous gap.

In the Chinese Chess Academy, everyone first studied along this seemingly obvious intention, and then quickly came to the conclusion that Li Xiangping's intention to make a profit by attacking could not be realized, so his move did not seem to be valid.

The reason why everyone can quickly come to a conclusion is very simple: because Li Xiangping has two weak pieces of chess.

Xiao Li only has one, but he himself has two, so everyone can see it very clearly with a simple swing: Li Xiangping wants to attack is really unrealistic, and Xiao Li doesn't even have to think too much, as long as he sees the move, then within ten rounds, Li Xiangping's own weaknesses are exposed, and the follow-up attack cannot be maintained at all.

Of course, it is precisely because this superficial intention is too obvious, so obvious that it is not worthy of Li Xiangping's "master style" at all, so after reaching the preliminary conclusion, even Gu Dali himself couldn't believe it, he didn't believe that Li Xiangping would play a move that was not valid at all after such a long examination.

Chen Xiaoqiang spoke, and the real number one stunt fan in China spoke for the second time today:

"Everyone said, does the boss want to abandon his son today? I just calculated that black can take this piece lightly......"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoqiang paused, and he pointed to a weak piece in the upper right corner of the chessboard with his finger, which is the one that seems to be of relatively little value among Li Xiangping's two weak pieces:

“...... I just calculated that if the boss's attack can gain enough benefits, he can completely abandon this piece of chess. ”

There is no doubt that Chen Xiaoqiang's idea is a little more advanced, which makes everyone see more possibilities.

So in the next step, everyone followed the ideas proposed by Chen Xiaoqiang and carried out further research.

Unfortunately, after a few minutes, everyone seemed to come to the conclusion that this abandoned idea also did not seem to be valid.

The reason for not being true is equally simple: it is not equivalent.

If a conversion is really formed in the end, then Xiao Li's profit seems to be obviously much greater than Li Xiangping.

Gu Dali patted his head: "This...... What does this chess move mean......."

Yu Bin Jiudan suddenly laughed: "Hehe, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, the fax machine has already sounded, let's take a look at the new chess game." ”

So everyone rushed to see the new chess game, which had a bit of a lot of hands, and the game showed that the game had reached 120 hands.

After everyone saw the new chess game, all the countries looked at each other and said that they couldn't understand it------

And this time, what everyone didn't understand was not Li Xiangping's chess, but Lee Sedol's way of playing this chess game, and everyone said they didn't understand.

Everyone has already calculated just now, if Lee Sedol follows Chen Xiaoqiang's assumption, accept Li Xiangping's abandoned son and achieve a change. So according to everyone's previous judgment: Lee Sedol is categorically advantageous in this way.

If it really happens like that, maybe Li Xiangping will have to stand up within 150 hands.

But Xiao Li didn't know why, he actually gave up this plan.

What's going on?

Back at the scene of the Korean game room, when Li Xiangping saw the opponent's choice of actual combat, he frowned imperceptibly, and said that Xiao Li was not a loss to Xiao Li, and the first pit he dug for him was actually dodged by him like this, if he really thought that he was an outcast, then there was a powerful killing move waiting for him behind him.

It's a pity that he just dodged it.

It's just that it doesn't matter, Li Xiangping set up a chain set today, just now it was just the first step, think about Li Sedol is the originator of the "zombie flow", so he can avoid the first trap, Li Xiangping thinks this is also very normal.

“....... Well, there are two more behind me, and the temptation is bigger than the other, Xiao Li, Xiao Li, if you can avoid it today, then I will lose to you today, and I will have nothing to say......."

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Korean time, the game entered its most critical juncture.
