"Tsk, who said that Li Shifo's combat effectiveness is not good? Now, it doesn't seem like that at all. \. His hidden combat power turned out to be so strong, I think that although his chess is not warlike, he is by no means afraid of war. It's really eye-opening that he showed such a sharp and in-depth arithmetic in this game......"

It's already close to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, in the third game of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup" finals, the game between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo had reached the moment to decide the final victory.

This game is very important, both the players and the Go circles of China and South Korea attach great importance to this game. Therefore, at this time, there were a lot of people in the research room, and everyone was very enthusiastic about the chess game. There are a lot of players who have expressed their opinions about today's game.

The person who said this was China's Chen Chaoyue Jiuduan. When he said this, the game was not over. On the chessboard, in fact, there is still a fierce war. As many expected, in today's game, from around 2:30 p.m., the two sides of the game began a fierce mid-game battle. The battle scene was fierce, from more than 60 hands to more than 160 hands, the two sides have been fighting, and this is the third local battle in this game. However, as most people know, this should be the last battle of the game. When this battle is over, the outcome of this game should also be decided.

When Chen Chaoyue Jiuduan said this, although he seemed to be praising Li Shifo on the surface. But now he was smiling, and anyone could tell that he was in a good mood right now. That's right, it's a good mood. In the eyes of the members of the Chinese delegation around him, he was not praising Li Shifo at all. His words are a bit of a suspicion of "self-selling and boasting". Everyone even felt that he was obviously praising Li Shifo to set off Li Xiaoqiang's better performance today.

"Now everyone thinks that Xiaoqiang should have no problem winning this game of chess, right? If that's the case, then I'll do what you said I'm going to report back to the country right now. ”

The game was reported before it was over. If you can say this kind of thing, of course, it can only be reporter Zhang Da. By this time, although many people thought that Li Xiaoqiang had gained a relatively obvious advantage. However, the game is not over, and Li Shifo seems to be still making the final struggle. Therefore, when reporter Zhang Da finished saying this, everyone turned their eyes to Nie Whirlwind, as if they wanted to hear the word "can" from his mouth.

"Don't look at me, if you want to follow my opinion, I think you can send it now. But in order not to make an oolong, let's take a look at Xiaoqiang's next hand. As long as Xiaoqiang's next hand is right, then it can basically be determined. Xiaoqiang has already won the game. ”

"Oh? Why is one move certain? ”

Faced with reporter Zhang Da's question, Nie Xuanfeng explained to him with a smile:

"Did you see that? Through the previous two battles, Xiaoqiang has actually achieved a clear advantage. Li Shifo's method just now can only be regarded as a "winner and loser" under a disadvantage. Although his method is more complex and more hidden, it can be regarded as a trap for Xiaoqiang, but if Xiaoqiang responds correctly, white will continue to lose money. Why did I say I had to wait for the next move? That's because the next move is the key, if Xiaoqiang plays the right game. That proves that he saw through the trap. If he doesn't go to the place, then Li Shifo's "winning hand" is very likely to succeed. ”

"So Xiaoqiang can play, right?"

"Hehe, the calculation here is a bit difficult, but it's just a straight line calculation. In this kind of place. I'm a hundred reassuring to Xiaoqiang, I don't think he's going to make a mistake......"

Speaking of this, Nie Whirlwind even pulled himself out to ridicule, only to see him continue:

“…… Let's say I'm racing on it. Maybe you really don't dare to post it, because my current short-circuit situation is really a headache. But it's not me today, it's us Xiaoqiang playing chess on it. So you can rest assured that Xiaoqiang will not disappoint everyone......"

"Hahahaha."

Compared with the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the Chinese members, the atmosphere on the South Korean side is rather dull. But just when everyone was waiting for Li Xiaoqiang's "next hand". South Korea's Park reporter is also very conscientious, and he is also asking about the gains and losses of this game of chess.

"Cao Guoshou, what do you think of today's game of chess? Does the Stone Buddha still have a chance? ”

"If there's an opportunity, of course there's still that. For example, Shi Fo's move just now is an opportunity. But to be honest, in the face of today's Li Xiaoqiang, in the face of a chessboard wizard in good condition, I don't think the stone Buddha has much chance. ”

"So what do you think is the best performance of black, or what is the reason for white's backwardness?"

"Objectively speaking, this game of black has been played very well. As for Shi Fo, although he also played very well, it was a pity that he had been suppressed by his opponent. If you want to find out the real cause, if you want to find out the specific problem, you have to go back and study it carefully. But from now on, I think the problem is probably the timing of the battle. ”

"Timing of the battle?"

"Yes, the reason for White's backwardness may be that the timing of the battle is not grasped well. When Shi Buddha chose to fight, it was already a bit over at that time, and if he had started the war earlier, it was likely to be better than his current situation. ”

"Oh? In the first two battles, didn't everyone think that the stone Buddha was very good? He didn't make any problems, and he didn't suffer anything in either part......"

"You are wrong, in those two parts, although white has no specific moves to blame, but it still suffers. For example, in the first battle, the two sides formed a transition in that place. If you look at the specific gains and losses of the eye, it seems that both sides are about the same. White broke the real space of about 20 meshes for black, and black also broke about 20 meshes for white. But don't forget that before that, the empty space of white is "real", while the empty piece of black is a bit "empty", so from this point of view, it should be considered that white has suffered a little loss. It was only after that transition was completed that black really established a slight advantage. ”

"That conversion of white chess is to exchange real for virtual, so a little loss, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, this is equivalent to helping white to make himself a reality without any gain. From this point of view, it is of course considered that white is at a loss. Although the judgment is very vague and the gap is very small, the stone Buddha should have felt it at that time. If you look at the second wave of his impact, it is obviously much more intense than the first wave. ”

"What about the second battle?"

"Speaking of the second battle, we see that the stone Buddha's moves are equally beyond reproach. But there was no way, his opponent today was better, and black still didn't give an inch in the face of the advantage, which is very rare. This is also the reason why black has established a clear advantage. Because after all, although Shi Buddha's moves were more intense, the battle was a little reluctant, and there was no success, so under the opponent's tough response, after the end of the second battle, white not only did not get a bargain, but the gap further widened. ”

So to sum up now, in these two wars, the problem of the stone Buddha is not in the specific tricks, but in the choice of combat and the timing of the battle. Is that what it means? ”

"yes, I think that's probably the problem. The so-called one-step lead in Go, step by step, is very obvious in this game. Let's look at the performance of black in reverse, and in this game, black did not make particularly brilliant moves. But he was in tune from the layout stage, and then gradually established his advantage through tough mid-game battles, and consolidated that advantage. It's actually very difficult, especially if White doesn't have a problematic hand, and he can do that, which is quite difficult. Therefore, for the hand-held stone Buddha, this is also helpless. To be fair, if Shi Buddha doesn't strengthen his layout, and his opponent can always perform like today, then it will be quite difficult for him to win. ”

"What about the current situation? What do you think of the "winning hand" released by the stone Buddha. ”

"As for this last resort...... Hehe, let's take a look at the progress of the chess game. All I can say now is that when we see Black's next move, we can probably know when the game will end. ”

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

Let's put it this way, if black's next move is right, the game will be over quickly. The stone Buddha shouldn't last more than half past five. What if black has the wrong response? Then there is still suspense about the outcome or defeat. Then this game will probably end after 6 o'clock......"

"Hehe, when do you think this game will end?"

"Although I would also like to have this game finish later. But judging by Black's previous performance. I think...... Hard! ”

So when exactly will this game end?

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo sat facing each other. At this time, it was already a little past 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The whole game has lasted more than 6 hours, and both sides have entered the countdown.

In the urging of the sound of counting seconds, Li Xiaoqiang calmly twisted a sunspot, and he slapped the sunspot on the chessboard. Then he glanced at Li Shifo with a very calm gaze, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Li Shifo saw this move, he also raised his head, but the difference was that he showed a wry smile.

At this time, in fact, both sides of the game already know:

This is the last move of the game! (To be continued......)
