Li Xiaoqiang walked into the game room and found that Li Shifo had been waiting there for a long time. Because Li Shifo participated in the Chinese siege, the two are already very familiar with each other, and they can be called friends in private. But in the face of such a crucial match, the two did not communicate much at this time. After a brief greeting, the two sat facing each other on the chessboard, quietly waiting for the crucial game to arrive.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, with the referee's order, the game was announced, and Li Shifo, who was a few months older, stretched out his hand to the chess piece, grabbed a chess piece, and signaled Li Xiaoqiang to guess first......

Today's game scene is much more lively than a few days ago. Not only did Chen Chaoyue, Nie Whirlwind, Coach Luo and others come to the research room, but the number of reporters who came to interview also increased a lot. In order to accommodate so many people, the Huating Hotel, which hosted the game, had to open up another house, which could be regarded as adding a viewing room.

When there are many people, there are many topics for everyone, especially in the face of such a major competition, many details are easy to be expanded, for example, at the beginning of the competition, the research room talked about such a topic.

"Generally speaking, most players prefer to play black in rapid chess. In particular, the proportion of active offensive players seems to be more likely to be black. In everyone's impression, Xiao Qiang should be regarded as an active chess player, but in today's game, whether Xiao Qiang would prefer to play black or white, I'm afraid even he is a little entangled now. ”

Reporter Zhang Da's words made everyone laugh. In the first three games of chess, Li Xiaoqiang was all white without exception. If you only guess from the perspective of guessing, it can be said that Li Xiaoqiang is extremely unlucky. But judging from the final results, Li Xiaoqiang's 3 games of white chess can be said to be beautiful wins. In the first game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang showed a super ability to set and restrict, and in the second game. Li Xiaoqiang showed his growing skills. Not to mention the third game, although he has been fighting hard in the third game, many people think that it is precisely this game of chess that can best show Li Xiaoqiang's characteristics. In that game of chess, the demeanor of the "chessboard wizard" jumped into the fold.

People who play Go are a little superstitious, since Li Xiaoqiang has always been able to win with white, so it is better to play white and black in today's game of chess. That's really hard to say.

The result of guessing first came out quickly, and Li Xiaoqiang actually guessed the white chess again, and he guessed the white chess for the fourth time in a row.

"Good! ......" Faced with such a result, reporter Zhang Da laughed heartlessly: "...... Others say that it is black to the end, so for today's game, I hope Xiaoqiang can be "white" to the end. ”

Of course, guessing first can only be regarded as a matter of details, and the most important thing to determine the outcome of a game of chess is to see the technical level of play.

"Come to think of it. The two of them haven't played each other in more than a year. A year ago, Li Shifo could only say that he was still in the role of a chaser. Up to now, it can be said that Li Shifo has caught up, and even has a faint tendency to overtake. However, if Li Shifo wants to truly prove himself, then he must defeat Li Xiaoqiang. So it is conceivable that for today's game, he must have held back his strength. The same is true for Xiaoqiang, seeing that Li Shifo actually ran in front of him. He must be holding back his strength now......"

Reporter Zhang Da continued to talk at length in the research room, and someone next to him felt impatient:

"I'm talking about reporter Zhang Da. You've been rambling so much nonsense, what do you mean by that? ”

"What I mean is: today's game of chess is going to be exciting and intense. I even think that the two of them played today. I should be able to come up with a lot of new ideas......"

Not to mention, Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo seem to really give reporter Zhang Da face. The two sides clashed fiercely from the beginning of the prologue stage, and in less than 30 moves, what Zhang Da called "new ideas" appeared. In the upper right corner of the board, both sides make a rare change. And this change was accompanied by a strange robbery.

"Ha, Xiaoqiang, this guy, he knows how to bully people with robbery, really, he doesn't know something else."

Seeing that he succeeded in pretending to be a magic stick, reporter Zhang Da was naturally proud, especially when he saw the robbery on the chessboard, reporter Zhang Da was even more elated, as if as long as there was a robbery, it would definitely be beneficial to Li Xiaoqiang.

Of course, no one pays attention to reporter Zhang Da dancing there now. Everyone was fascinated by the new changes that appeared on the board. Because it is a rare change, how should this change be judged? What are the gains and losses? That's what everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

First of all, on the side of the Korean chess players, when they saw another robbery on the chessboard, Xu Bongsu and Liu Changhe both involuntarily glanced at Cao Yanzi. Cao Yanzi smiled bitterly, he could only smile bitterly now. Indeed, presumably yesterday's world catastrophe should be able to leave a psychological shadow in his heart for a while.

Cao Yanzi shook her head, as if she wanted to wave away that bit of psychological shadow. Then he and the other two began to study the chess game, discuss the local gains and losses, and analyze the intentions of the two players.

On the Chinese chess players' side, they are naturally doing the same thing. Since there are more Chinese players on this side, the time to draw conclusions is a little earlier.

"This new change cannot be called a formula, because in this part of the game, white is clearly losing money. But considering the global configuration of white, especially the existence of this robbery. This tribulation is heavy on black and white, and I don't think Xiaoqiang wants to win this tribulation, his real intention should be to make the most of those two remnants and get a little cheap on the periphery. Therefore, from this point of view, I think Xiaoqiang's idea so far is still very positive. ”

Hearing Nie Whirlwind's judgment, everyone basically agreed, and praised the current Li Xiaoqiang for indeed making enough progress in the "overall situation".

Indeed, being able to focus on the "overall situation" and not be confined to local gains and losses to make new changes is something that Li Xiaoqiang rarely did in the past. But at least in today's game, in the first 30 moves, everyone saw Li Xiaoqiang's progress.

"It's impossible to judge the current situation, but after this partial play, I think it should be a little difficult for black, to say the least, white is a problem for black. Cao Guoshou, don't you think? ”

On the Korean chess players' side, they also came to a similar conclusion as Nie Whirlwind. So they started from this time. I was a little worried about Li Shifo.

Many people say that robbery is a rather difficult technique to master in Go. Because the robbery in Go, especially the robbery that occurs in the prelude stage, is often not a local problem, but must involve all aspects of the overall situation.

For example, at the beginning of today, why did Li Xiaoqiang dare to choose a change in the situation with obvious losses? Because he knows that the opponent has two problems to solve. Question 1. It is the catastrophe that Nie Whirlwind just said, "black is heavy and white is light". The second and more important question is as the Go proverb says: "There is no disaster in the first chess"!

Robbery requires robbery, but when the game begins, the entire chessboard is empty, where does black go to find robbery?

Therefore, at this time, if Li Shifo does not handle these two issues well, it is likely that Li Xiaoqiang's situation will soon take advantage.

"It depends on what Li Shifo does......"

When everyone has seen the first chess game that has been passed into the research room, whether it is a Chinese player or a Korean chess player, whether it is Nie Whirlwind, Cao Yanzi or even Zhang Da reporter. The thought almost all of them came to mind.

The game went on very quickly, and the second game was passed into the laboratory very quickly. When you have seen Li Shifo's treatment. While admiring Li Shifo's skillful handling, he is also more full of expectations for today's game of chess.

Li Shifo's method of dealing with this problem is also a common way of thinking about dealing with such problems in Go:

Since the burden of this robbery is heavier, then I will not open it for the time being. Since I don't have any looting materials now, I'll go to other places to make looting materials first.

Why are you looking forward to this game? Because Li Shifo's method of creating robbery is that in the upper left corner of the chessboard, he created another robbery!

It's only about 40 moves. In the two corners of the chessboard, there were actually two robberies. Then it is predictable. No matter what the result of today, today's game will definitely be full of variables, and it will definitely be fierce and beautiful.

The match lasted for an hour, and the first round between the two sides was over. Of course, the first round of the battle can only be regarded as a "dark battle", because the two robberies on the board are currently unresolved. The next 10 rounds. It's that you come and go, I rob and fight lively.

The key battle of the second round between the two sides occurred at about 2:30 p.m., when the game started one and a half hours and nearly 70 moves on the board.

This round of competition seems to have been provoked by Li Shifo. When his move falls onto the board. When his move reached the research room, it caused a burst of exclamations in the research room:

"Huh? He actually came out of this place......"

"This move clearly looks like Li Xiaoqiang's move......"

That's right, Li Shifo did take a step that was very similar to Li Xiaoqiang's move. He came out of a place that everyone didn't expect. In the place where he fell, it was considered the sphere of influence of white chess, and Li Shifo forcibly moved a remnant of the piece.

At a cursory glance, I feel that his move is a bit unreasonable. But after research, we found that this move was unexpectedly powerful.

Because at this time, there are still two calamities hanging on the chessboard. Li Shifo's activity remnants have two meanings, the first is to treat this place as a robbery, and it is not impossible for White to kill these remnants at this time. But if you forcibly kill the chess, the robbery will be in an absolutely disadvantageous position, and it is likely that you will lose both robberies.

If you lose the robbery, you can get a certain benefit by eating a few remnants. But you must know that this place originally belonged to White's sphere of influence after all, and even if you eat a few more pieces, the benefits obtained are not as great as imagined, at least they can't make up for the losses caused by losing the robbery.

Since it is not possible to kill by force, it seems that it can only "run". From this, you can see the wonderful taste of Li Shifo's move. You must know that the piece of white chess that used to be here could have been used as a thick wall, but now a thick wall is running against a few remnants of others......

"What to do? What should Li Xiaoqiang do now? ”

When everyone figured out the intention of Li Shifo's move. So naturally, all the worries turned to Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang also didn't let everyone wait too long, thought for a while, and at around 3:40 in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang gave his answer.

In the game room, when Li Shifo saw Li Xiaoqiang's move that he had just landed, he was slightly surprised. When Li Xiaoqiang's move was transmitted to the research room, it once again detonated the atmosphere here.

"Huh!? Again...... Provoke another robbery? Let go! The two of them are really ...... today It's all completely let go of ......"

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang's choice is to provoke a robbery again in the lower right corner of the chessboard!

In less than 80 moves, there were three tribulations in the three corners of the board. This is undoubtedly very rare. It can even be said that it is a rare sight.

Such a situation, of course, is extremely complicated. Such a pattern, of course, is full of variables. Such a competition, of course, will be very intense!

"I can't predict the outcome of this game right now, the only thing I can confirm now is that today's game is not destined to be an ordinary game!"

In the research room, reporter Zhang Da expressed such feelings.

The chess game continued step by step, and a rare fierce scene appeared. What will this game be?

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang quietly waited for his opponent to take over. (To be continued.) )
