At around 1:40 p.m. Tokyo time, that is, 40 minutes into the afternoon game, Mr. Lin Haifeng, as the referee on duty, walked out of the game room.

After seeing him, Wang Licheng, Wang Mingwan, Yang Jiayuan and other chess players in Japan surrounded him, and Wang Mingwan, who had won the title of "Ben Yin Fang", said with a smile:

"Mr. Lin, how is today's chess, the move we worked out is okay, right?"

Mr. Lin smiled and did not speak, and at this time, everyone noticed that Mr. Lin's smile was actually a bitter smile.

Mr. Lin looked at the chessboard in front of everyone, and the chessboard was the actual combat process of Li Xiangping VS Zhang Xu, but Mr. Lin had just come out of the game room, and he noticed that there was a missing hand on the chessboard, which was the latest hand in actual combat.

That move, the 66th move in the overall game, was played by Li Xiangping, who was on the white side.

Mr. Lin gently twisted a white piece, and then slapped the chess hand on the chessboard:

"Let's take a look at Li Xiangping's tricks, what do you think of chess."

"Ahh ……”

When they saw Li Xiangping's actual battle, Wang Licheng and Wang Mingwan looked at each other, and Wang Mingwan and Yang Jiayuan looked at each other--------

Today's Zhang Xu's Black 19 is jointly researched by a group of chess players in Japan of the "Haifeng Research Association", and everyone thinks it is good and recommends Zhang Xu to use as a flying knife.

However, Li Xiangping's move was something that everyone hadn't expected before, and this move was completely unexpected by everyone.

A few minutes later, Wang Licheng, who had won the "chess saint", took the lead in exclaiming:

"What a time! The timing of this move is really just right, tsk, it seems to completely destroy the idea of black chess with a simple touch. ”

That's right, Li Xiangping's white 66 is an ordinary "touch".

The local chess shape is like this: Zhang Xu landed the "small eye" with the first hand in this game, and then formed the "small eye two high jump corners" in that part-------

In the first two years of Li Xiangping's debut, this was basically one of his favorite chess shapes, so now, Zhang Xu also used this trick in the game with Li Xiangping, which is of course not unusual.

Not only is this "small eye two high jump corner" not unusual, in fact, Li Xiangping's hand "touch" is also not unusual, his chess hand, in fact, is to touch one on the "star position", in dealing with this "small eye two high jump corner" -, this "touch" is one of the commonly used means.

It is precisely because the means are not unusual, so Wang Licheng just lamented the timing of Li Xiangping's move--------

And Go is like this, the same shape, the same method, but when you play the same move at different times, the effect may be completely different.

Sometimes it may be "out of place" and a bad hand.

Sometimes it may be just an ordinary exchange, a "normal proportion".

However, playing the same move in some specific situations can be wonderful, a "test move" with just the right time.

Why do many masters often say that "test hand" is a very advanced method in Go? The reason is here, many amateur chess players don't understand, it's just a seemingly ordinary means of one step, and they don't see any lethality, but the master is amazed.

This is the "timing of chess" at work, and the next ordinary means of good timing is sometimes even more lethal than a good move.

For example, Li Xiangping's hand today almost perfectly embodies this. And to understand the admiration of many masters in Japan, we must first start with the "flying knife" prepared by Zhang Xu.

First of all, to make it clear, what he prepared today was not the kind of very cool flying knife, which means that it was not the kind of Li Xiangping who made a mistake with a move and then he was about to stand up at that time.

It's the kind of "gentle flying knife" that is relatively gentle, related to the global configuration, taking advantage of a little bit locally, and then gaining a lead in the overall situation.

The battle first started from the upper right corner of the chessboard, in that place, it was originally a common chess shape, but Black 19 suddenly changed his moves, and Zhang Xu suddenly pressed all the way to the chess that was supposed to slow down-------

When Li Xiangping first saw this chess hand, he noticed something unusual, because at that time, Li Xiangping had a few chess pieces that would be attacked, but at that time, not only was the chessboard very empty, not to mention, Li Xiangping's white pieces were also full of elasticity, and under normal circumstances, he didn't worry about being attacked at all.

So under normal circumstances, the best way for black to play is to implement a "slow attack", but Zhang Xu suddenly has a "rapid attack", which is closer than the normal proportion, what does he mean?

Or rather, what strategic intent does he want to achieve?

To tell the truth, the opponent's strategic intentions, in fact, Li Xiangping discovered in the morning, the opponent's true intentions are nothing more than to force himself to work on the spot through a rapid attack, and then at the same time as the attack, he grabbed a step "two ways to fly".

That's right, it's "Xiaomu Erjian High Jump Angle" and "Erlu Xiaofei", of course------ chess players with a little strength know that compared with "Sanssouci Angle", such a chess shape like "Xiaomu Erjian High Jump Corner" is of course relatively empty, which is not conducive to holding the corner time and space.

However, if you add one more step to such a chess shape, "Two-Way Xiaofei", the situation will be very different, and with such a move, you can keep the corner time and space very firmly.

In particular, if this "two-way Xiaofei" is still the first move, then of course the situation is better, which is equivalent to black through a feint, he naturally strengthens his corner.

Well, the above is Zhang Xu's wishful thinking, and it is also the overall idea of his "gentle flying knife". 678

It's a pity that as soon as Li Xiangping's white 66 came out, the opponent's wishful thinking fell through in an instant, and his flying knife was cracked at that time. ------

As I said before, Li Xiangping's means of cracking the flying knife are actually very ordinary, the important thing is the timing of playing this chess hand, and to understand the importance of "timing" in Go, Li Xiangping believes that it can also be seen very clearly through today's chess example:

Li Xiangping's "touch" happened to be the opponent's expected move "Erlu Xiaofei" to shoot in the previous round.

Li Xiangping knew very well in his heart that in the opponent's expectations, he thought that he could only work aggrieved at this time, and then when he was doing his own work, he grabbed a step of "Erlu Xiaofei" and forced himself to "block a hand", and then he regarded it as a cheap first move, and he would grab the last high-profile game on the chessboard.

But at this time, Li Xiangping did not follow the opponent's expectations, he did not honestly do his own piece of chess, but at this time, he "touched" a hand on the "small eye two high jump corners".

As soon as this move was played, black was in a dilemma, and some of them were even out of action.

First of all, for this move, Zhang Xu couldn't get rid of the first----- because he had already invested two hands in that corner in the early stage, if he dared to take the lead, it would be equivalent to Li Xiangping abolishing his two hands with one hand.

And such a loss, black chess can not afford no matter what, even if he makes up another knife to eat that piece of chess, this is an unequal conversion, so in the face of Li Xiangping's hand, the opponent must follow locally.

Secondly, it is not possible for Zhang Xu to make concessions in some parts, for example, he retreats to "three threes" or grows out of the "eye" at this time, and this method cannot be considered------

He tried his best to design a flying knife, the purpose was to grab a "two-way Xiaofei" first, and the purpose of his grabbing this chess move was to strengthen some of his own corner land first.

But in the face of Li Xiangping's "touch", if he compromises and seeks perfection, this is equivalent to his inconsistent approach------

Because if he compromises and seeks perfection, Li Xiangping will not continue to entangle with him locally, and there is still a lot of vitality in that move to "touch", and if black wants to control that chess piece, he will have to spend at least another hand of chess.

In other words, if Zhang Xu had compromised at this time, he wanted to strengthen the strategic goal of the corner land, but in fact, he did not achieve it, and he had worked hard for so long, but in fact, he had no gain.

It's not okay to get rid of the first, and it's not okay to compromise and seek everything, so for Zhang Xu, he actually has only one way left at this time, that is, to fight in the local front, and the "two-way Xiaofei" Shenma don't think about it first, and then set the finish in this corner first.

In fact, in the next actual battle, Zhang Xu did just like this.

But the consequences of this are ...... About 10 minutes later, the latest chess game was transmitted to the viewing room, and several masters in Japan were silent in the face of the actual combat process.

After a long time, Mr. Lin Haifeng sighed:

"Alas, Li Xiangping is really powerful, Zhang Xu is no longer good at this plate." ------

In fact, at this time, the game had just reached less than 80 moves, which seemed to be very early, but no one objected to Mr. Lin's statement.

Thinking about it, you must know that today's flying knife was polished by everyone together, but everyone never expected that it would be cracked by Li Xiangping lightly.

He seemed to have used an ordinary method similar to "four or two dialing a thousand catties", and easily cracked the flying knife that everyone had carefully polished.

Not to mention that at this time, everyone judged that Li Xiangping had reversed, and he had already gained a certain advantage, not to mention that in everyone's minds, Li Xiangping's overall strength was originally better than Zhang Xu's, just talking about Zhang Xu's current game psychology-------

A flying knife failed to succeed, which is equivalent to stepping into the air, so at this time, has Zhang Xu's mood been affected? Did he have any psychological fluctuations?

Everyone is a professional chess player, of course, they know that this situation is very likely to happen, since this is the case, then who dares to be optimistic about Zhang Xu today.

The subsequent process also verified everyone's fears, after the end of this local battle, Li Xiangping, who had already gained the upper hand, became more and more courageous, while his opponent Zhang Xu was defeated and retreated.

At about 3:30 p.m. Tokyo time, when Li Xiangping fell to the 136th hand in the overall situation, Zhang Xu obviously had no intention of fighting, and he chose to throw in the towel at this time.

Li Xiangping once again broke into the finals of the World Series!

There is only one last game left before the "Fujitsu Cup" five consecutive championships.

Now that he has come to this point, of course Li Xiangping has to care about who the opponent in the final will be. So after a brief review with Zhang Xu, he immediately came to the viewing room to watch the contest between Gu Dali and Lee Sedol.

As for Lao Xie and reporter Zhang Da and others, of course, they were also accustomed to Li Xiangping's victory, so after seeing Li Xiangping, they didn't even come to the usual congratulations.

Reporter Zhang Da shouted loudly at the time:

"Ha Xiangping, come on, Dali's game of chess is really not clear, now I can only let you palm your eyes."

Not only him, but even Lao Xie chimed in beside him:

"Yes, yes, complicated! It's too complicated! Hehe, it's not a "lifelong rival" You said that these two guys are in such good health, they have been together since the morning, and they still can't figure it out, Xiangping Come on, come on, come and see, what is the situation in this chess? ”

"Oh?"

Li Xiangping walked in the direction of the two reporters.
