In early January 1995, the first "China-South Korea Hand Competition" was held at the Chinese Chess Academy.

As the first important international competition at the beginning of the new year, the duel between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo naturally attracted a lot of attention. Especially now just after New Year's Day, a large number of national players have gathered in the capital because of their participation in the "Tianyuan War". After the game started, Chang Rensheng and the others didn't have to say, even Nie Whirlwind and Ma Xiaofei appeared in the viewing room early.

Nie Whirlwind is to lead Gu Dali, Kong Erjie and other members of the new national youth training team to observe and learn the master game. And what about Ma Xiaofei? As the reigning "Tian Yuan", he may not have played for a while because he is purely bored.

On the Korean side, because this is only an individual competition after all, it is not as good as a world championship like the "Toyo Securities Cup" in terms of level, so in addition to the representatives of the sponsor and a few accompanying reporters, Liu Changhe is the only one who accompanied Li Shifo to China to compete.

If you want to say that Liu Changhe is actually quite good at being a person, Li Shifo has always regarded him as a big brother. It is said that in private, Li Shifo is closer to Liu Changhe than to Cao Yanzi. Therefore, it is very normal for Liu Changhe to accompany Li Shifo to participate abroad. Yoo Chang-hyuk's ability to be a man is not only reflected in this aspect. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of exchanges between China and South Korea in the Go community, and Liu Changhe is also the one who is most willing to interact with Chinese chess players, so he is very familiar with many Chinese chess players, and many Chinese chess players also have a good impression of this "jade-faced killer".

Seeing that the number of South Koreans was too small this time, Yoo Chang-hyuk mingled with the Chinese chess players early and studied today's game with everyone.

"Today is the first game of the trilogy, usually in the first game of the tournament. Both sides of the game are always more open. Especially today, these two, because they are close to each other and have very different styles. I guess it's going to be nice today. So pay attention. This kind of on-site observation is rare, and with so many high-level teachers around, you'd better study from the beginning and carefully figure out the ideas of the top players. ”

The opening remarks were spoken by Nie Whirlwind. The object of his education is naturally the group of national youth team training members. It is said that the current Nie Whirlwind is really conscientious, and he puts most of his energy into educating the next generation.

"Teacher Nie, I've only played a few moves now. And it's all ordinary tricks, what can we figure out? ”

Nie Whirlwind glanced at it, and it was Gu Dali who spoke. The current Gu Dali is young because of his age. Among this group of national youth training players, his chess ability is not outstanding. But Gu Dali is Gu Dali after all, and in less than half a year, he has already made Nie Whirlwind look at him with admiration.

However, the dignity of the teacher still needs to be maintained. I saw Nie Whirlwind glaring at him:

"Gu Dali. For example, you are playing chess with Kong Erjie now. With your stinky hand, if you play fine chess, you will be scraped away by others at least 5 eyes. So if you want to win, what are you going to do? ”

"Of course, I hope to lead the situation into battle, and hope to establish a superiority of more than 5 goals before the official......"

Speaking of this, Gu Dali scratched his head again, and said a little embarrassed: "...... But it doesn't seem to work to deal with Kong Erjie with this trick, this guy, he plays chess more savage than me. ”

"Hahahaha."

Gu Dali's child's words drew laughter from the viewing room. Nie Whirlwind couldn't hold back a laugh, and he continued to diligently guide a group of young chess players:

"Alright. Let's not care about whether you can win Kong Erjie or not. As you said, most of the time you play chess you want to bring the situation into battle. So how do you import it? When do you usually import them? Have you thought about this question? ”

"Usually in ...... At the time of the prologue. ”

"That's right. In the prelude stage of Go, it is important to start thinking about how to put the game on the track that you are good at. It's not just you who think this way in the game, even the best players think this way. This is especially important when encountering opponents who are of the same level as each other, but whose style of play is different from their own. Whoever can do this will increase their chances of winning. For example, in today's game, they are likely to start this kind of battle in the opening set. So I hope you can take a good look at it, and the focus is not on those specific moves and routines, but on learning to figure out their way of thinking, understand? ”

It must be admitted that Nie Whirlwind's words and deeds can be regarded as painstaking. But what is the effect? Then no one can know.

“…… Mr. Li will definitely direct the chess game to battle, and his strength is the greatest ......"

This is Kong Erjie's voice, in that game of coaching chess a few months ago, Li Xiaoqiang directly knocked him out with his strength, so he was deeply impressed by Li Xiaoqiang's strength.

"No, no, I think Mr. Li definitely prefers to play fine chess, his official hand...... Tsk......"

It is naturally Gu Dali who can say this, and he is also the one who coached chess, and I don't know if Li Xiaoqiang's official level has left him a psychological shadow.

“…… You idiot, they all say that Li Shifo, his official level is even more powerful than Teacher Li......"

The kids from the national junior team were chattering about the game, and the others were also watching the game. And as Nie Whirlwind said, the focus of everyone's attention at the beginning of the morning is to see who can:

"Put the game into the track that you are good at."

This game of chess is Li Xiaoqiang's white, after watching the more than 20 moves at the beginning, Li Xiaoqiang's few moves made Nie Whirlwind nod frequently, so he decided to take the test again for the children of the national junior team:

"Gu Dali, tell me now, do you see the idea of these moves of white?"

"I didn't ...... I didn't see it. ”

Nie Whirlwind glared: "Then you always have your own ideas, tell me, what do you think of the white chess game?" ”

"I ...... I think Mr. Li is a bit obscene. ”

Gu Dali's answer made Nie Whirlwind dumbfounded. For a while, Nie Whirlwind felt that he had been cheated by Li Xiaoqiang, how could he accept such a stupid apprentice under his bewitchment.

Of course, Gu Dali's words are also heard by Nie Whirlwind, if Li Xiaoqiang is allowed to hear it, Li Xiaoqiang may be even more crying and laughing. Because the method he uses today happens to be the method that Gu Dali was best at in his previous life. And the ideas he uses should also be Gu Dali's best ideas.

Gu Dali still can't understand what he is best at, so Zhang Da, a reporter who is lower than his chess ability, naturally can't understand it even more. However, seeing that Nie Whirlwind was educating children, Zhang Da reporter was embarrassed to come up, he asked Ma Xiaofei who was sitting next to him.

"Ma Xiao, Xiaoqiang's game is white, you say that he is unhurried like him, will he be a little too conservative."

In this year, most competitions still use black stickers 5 and a half mesh. This is not like a big post in later generations. In the big stickers, it is generally agreed that black should be more aggressive, while white should be more conservative. But this era is different, this era is just the opposite, thinking that black can play normally, while white needs to be positive. Influenced by this concept, reporter Zhang Da asked this question.

"Conservative? I don't think so. On the contrary, I think this is Xiaoqiang's new kung fu. He is now very skilled in this technique. If you take a closer look, Xiaoqiang's play today is very similar to the game of chess that won me in the "Celebrity War" a few months ago. ”

The "celebrity battle" that just ended Ma Xiaofei won 3-1. Regarding Li Xiaoqiang's only victory, reporter Zhang Da of course still has an impression. After thinking about it carefully:

"Ah...... Yes, yes, I seem to have a little impression...... "Reporter Zhang Da vaguely captured something, but he couldn't say why. Seeing his appearance, Ma Xiaofei smiled slightly:

"Let's ignore the question of conservative or not. Let's start with the advantages of Xiaoqiang. I think what Xiaoqiang is best at is the big scene, as long as the situation is more chaotic and complicated, the easier it is for Xiaoqiang to win. Xiao Qiang's ability to grasp the fighter in the big scene, I don't think anyone in the current world chess world is his opponent. Do you think so? ”

"Yes, yes......" Reporter Zhang Da touched the bypass, and he immediately said: "And Ma Xiaoyou, what you are best at is that kind of small scene...... No, no, not a small scene. How so? It should be said that your type of chess player is more delicate in chess, practicing small kung fu, and better at picking at a glance. And this Li Shifo seems to be the same type as you, isn't that so? ”

Ma Xiaofei continued to smile:

Your description may not be accurate, but it should be like this. Do you see ......" Ma Xiaofei pointed to the chessboard: "...... I think Xiaoqiang's chess is not called conservative, but solid, in order to gain a firm foothold, he does not hesitate to let the black chess pieces, and does not hesitate to let the opponent form a big pattern. And the large-scale offensive and defensive battles are different from the kind of chess that lays the floor. You just wait and see, after Xiaoqiang has accumulated enough strength, a large and complex offensive and defensive battle will soon form on the chessboard. ”

"Then you mean that this chess should be considered to be included in the track that Xiaoqiang is good at?"

"I guess, at least that's what I think."

"Then do you think that this game of chess Xiaoqiang has a better chance of winning?" Reporter Zhang Da was breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

For this question, Ma Xiaofei did not answer it directly, he just smiled slightly:

"Anyway, when I play chess with Xiaoqiang, I will definitely try my best to avoid such a scene."

"And when do you think this kind of big scene will happen?"

"Soon, this kind of large-scale offensive and defensive battle can't wait long, I estimate that Xiaoqiang will start soon."

In fact, it was not unexpected by Ma Xiaofei. The game was still in the morning, and the game required more than 30 moves. As Li Xiaoqiang fell, a fierce large-scale offensive and defensive battle immediately began. (To be continued......)
