Chapter 624: The Cliff
The first game between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo ended unexpectedly early.
Lao Cao began to talk about chess on Korean TV at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and he first made a long speech and analyzed Li Xiaoqiang's characteristics in detail before starting to get to the point. may feel that the time spent in front of him is a bit too much, but Lao Cao's speed is significantly faster when explaining the specific chess game, mainly commenting on the important points of disagreement and the key wins and losses of the chess game.
“…… Please pay attention to this chess hand...... "Lao Cao pointed to a hand played by Li Xiaoqiang on the big chessboard, which was the 60th move in the overall situation.
“…… As we just said, a very important feature of Li Xiaoqiang's chess game is that he likes to walk between being active and excessive, and this move is very typical of Li Xiaoqiang's style......"
“…… Don't underestimate this simple method, why is Li Xiaoqiang so powerful in this place? His chess is like this, it is very hidden, and it seems to be an ordinary move, but it contains a killing intention in the blandness. If you are insensitive to his methods, then please see ......"
After a few subsequent changes on the big chessboard, Lao Cao continued:
“…… If you don't feel anything about his methods, and the actual combat is just a simple response, then you will suffer no matter how you play. Although it may not seem like you will lose much, at most you will only lose one or two moves, but you must know that in the games of the top players, you can afford to lose one or two moves......"
“…… Why is this what Li Xiaoqiang is so good at? To be honest with you, if this game of chess is played by me and Li Xiaoqiang, I may be insensitive to his method, or I may follow it casually, and thus suffer a loss unconsciously. I also watched Shi Fo's actual combat response, and realized that Li Xiaoqiang's move may be a little excessive. Now let's take a look at how the stone Buddha fought back in actual combat......"
Next, Lao Cao and Han MM put the actual combat process on the big chessboard, and Lao Cao asked Han MM with a smile:
"How do you feel after watching this part of the process?"
Han MM tilted his head and looked at the big chessboard: "Well, in my impression, Shi Buddha rarely uses such fierce moves, which is a bit unlike his chess." ”
Lao Cao said solemnly: "You are right, if it was the Stone Buddha in the past, he would probably choose to be patient when he encountered this situation." This may be okay against other players, but if you want to beat Li Xiaoqiang, it will not be enough. I think the Stone Buddha must also be aware of this, so he will resolutely fight back, which should be an improvement for the Stone Buddha. ”
Next, the two continued to put on the actual combat process, and put almost more than 20 chess moves, about 90 chess moves in the overall situation, Han MM asked Cao Yanzi:
"Cao Guoshou, now that white has counterattacked, what do you think of the progress of this section and the gains and losses of both sides?"
"This is Shi Fo's counterattack by seizing the opponent's excessive moves, so from a chess point of view, there is no bad reason for white chess at the moment. However, if Shi Buddha wants to really win this game of chess, it is not so easy. ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Lao Cao smiled bitterly: "What else can it be, just because his opponent is Li Xiaoqiang, and Li Xiaoqiang is notoriously difficult." There is another factor, although Black's move just now is a little excessive, it is far from being unreasonable. Therefore, if white's counterattack wants to realize the benefits of reality, white must also have a very important condition. ”
"The very important condition you are talking about is strength! The power of chess! Is that so? ”
"You're right, when white fights back, today's game is destined to be a contest of strength. In the past, the stone Buddha rarely played this kind of chess, but now let's take a look at what the stone Buddha will look like when he shows his muscles. ”
Before Lao Cao came in to talk about chess, he had actually seen Li Shifo in the research room chasing and killing Li Xiaoqiang. It's just that he didn't quite see it clearly at the time. Therefore, in the later period, he mainly explained in detail the offensive and defensive battles that took place on the chessboard.
Even Lao Cao himself didn't expect that when he was talking endlessly on TV, today's game had come to an abrupt end, at about half past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Shifo fell on the chessboard with one move, when Li Xiaoqiang saw this move, he was stunned at first, and then silently calculated for a while, and when Li Xiaoqiang calculated clearly, he was very happy to admit defeat.
“…… At present, there are many clues on the chessboard, but the real focus is the solitary chess of black, white has just launched a counterattack, forcibly disconnected the black chess, and how much benefit can be obtained when attacking this solitary chess, which is the key to the victory or defeat of this game. In the offensive and defensive battles in this area, it should be said that the stone Buddha played quite well, everyone please learn the attack technique of this section of white chess, tight and orderly, advance and retreat freely, and the rhythm of the stone Buddha is quite well grasped......"
“…… This move...... This move...... Li Xiaoqiang is not a loser, you can say that he is betting on the big dragon in this move, but I think his real intention is actually to get rid of the rhythm of the opponent. But then again, is he really that confident in his ability to treat orphans......
“…… This chess is interesting, in the face of Li Xiaoqiang's first-class strong player, Shi Buddha also does not give an inch, and every move is the strongest response. When the two of them play like this, there is no room for rotation in this game of chess, Shi Buddha wins if the white chess succeeds in slaying the dragon, and Li Xiaoqiang wins if the black chess succeeds in controlling the orphan. So who miscalculated the two of them today......"
“…… Yes! Now it seems that Li Xiaoqiang should have miscalculated, and he didn't notice the blind spot of this step. Shi Fo's move is really a good move, his move seems to be leaning on someone's thick wall, and this kind of chess is really difficult to find. The blind spot in Go is like that, it's always hard to spot when you don't notice it, but when you see it...... I think there are amateur chess players with a level of 5 dan or higher who should see the changes here clearly, right? White is leaning directly here, which already makes it impossible for black to contact, and not only that, but with this move, what is even worse is that black can't make a real eye here. No matter how much black struggles, it is a prosthetic eye locally. That's the beauty of this step. With this move, this game of chess should be won. We can also see from this move that Shi Fo's arithmetic has indeed made great progress, at least in today's game, he has the upper hand in the face of Li Xiaoqiang, and he has the upper hand on the arithmetic road......"
In the studio hall, Lao Cao was dancing with his eyebrows dancing about chess. In the game room, two players are reviewing the game.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be murderous, this doesn't seem to be your style."
Although Li Xiaoqiang lost the game, this was only the first game of Wuban after all, and he is now very familiar with Li Shifo. So he was still in the mood to joke with Li Shifo after losing.
"I'm learning from you." Li Shifo also responded to Li Xiaoqiang in a joking tone.
"Learn from me?"
"That's right, if you want to win, you have to learn from you."
"Hahaha, I think I should be honored."
To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang did feel a little proud in his heart at this time. Li Shifo in real history has indeed undergone a change in chess style, but his experience is a bit special, others are fierce and easy to kill when they are young, and the older they are, the more stable they are. Li Shifo is just the opposite, he played chess like an old man when he was young, and as he grew older, his chess became more intense. Especially when Gu Dali, Li Shishi and others were born, Li Shifo at that time was actually a militant.
For example, some people say that this is because Li Shifo realizes that he is old and his energy and physical strength can no longer support his best "control flow", so he consciously made changes.
However, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that such statements should be unreliable. There is only one reason why a professional chess player can change his style: he thinks his current style is better than his previous one!
There is no other explanation than that.
In real history, Li Shifo had a period of "Nine Consecutive Asias" in the World Series, and that period was also a period of change in Li Shifo's chess style. The following is a quote from Li Shifo during that period:
"I think I have a much deeper understanding of Go now than I did a few years ago."
What does this sentence mean? It shows that Li Shifo's change in chess style is not a "forced change", Li Xiaoqiang thinks that he just saw another way of playing that he thinks is better, so he consciously made the change.
"Hehe, in your previous life, you were lonely and invincible for a long time, so you were relieved that your "control flow" had been under for so many years. But this life is different, because of me, when you have taught me this "more advanced" method, you will consciously make some changes......"
This is the reason why Li Xiaoqiang is complacent.
After the first match, there was a day off, and the second game resumed.
If Li Xiaoqiang was still in the mood to joke with Li Shifo at the end of the first game. Then at the end of the second game, Li Xiaoqiang stared at the chessboard in front of him with a blue face, he didn't even have the strength to speak now, let alone say it was a joke now.
1 and a half mesh!
In this game of chess, Li Shifo, who took the lead in black, won Li Xiaoqiang by 1 and a half eyes.
The high-profile "duel between the two lees" is known as the big victory or defeat of the last "battle of the century" of this century. Surprisingly one-sided. Li Xiaoqiang, who fell behind 0-2, has been forced into a desperate situation.
What makes people even more desperate seems to be not only the score, but also the content of chess.
In the first game, Li Xiaoqiang was slaughtered by others. Although the gap seems to be not big in the second game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the face of Li Shifo, who has resumed the "control flow" method, Li Xiaoqiang does not have many opportunities in the second game.
In the chess hall in South Korea, it is still Cao Yanzi's proud voice echoing:
"On the surface, this game of chess stone Buddha won with his own control flow. But I don't think that's the real reason, it's the power of chess that plays a decisive role! It was precisely because the stone Buddha showed Li Xiaoqiang his strength that Li Xiaoqiang had some scruples, which made him jealous. Have you noticed that in the second game, Li Xiaoqiang's chess was decent, and he looked much more honest than before. When Li Xiaoqiang began to follow the rules when he played chess, when his chess lost his aura, then it was impossible for such Li Xiaoqiang to defeat Li Shifo. Therefore, I would like to emphasize once again that the most critical issue in the first two games of chess is actually strength! The power of chess ......"
Li Xiaoqiang, who has come to the edge of the cliff, seems to be facing the biggest crisis of his career. (To be continued.) )
