"What! Are you saying that Xiaoqiang has been planning to slay the dragon for a long time? And judging by the current situation, he still has a good chance of success! ”

"Yes, we just sorted out the current situation. When there is this swing on the chessboard, then there can only be two situations: first, it is Xiaoqiang who has miscalculated. Second, it was Xiaoqiang who was preparing to slay the dragon, and he deliberately did it like this. Now it seems that the second possibility is clearly ......"

When Team Leader Hua heard Ma Xiaofei explain to him the latest research conclusions of the laboratory, he said something good for a while. Yes, Team Leader Hua is also a professional master. The truth in this is straightforward, and the logic is not. It's always easy to understand. However, even though he already knew Li Xiaoqiang's thoughts, Team Leader Hua was still a little unacceptable.

Because in the eyes of Team Leader Hua, Li Xiaoqiang's approach is really undesirable. The risks of this kind of play are just too great!

"This, is there anyone who plays chess like this? No, no, let's swing again, let's help Xiaoqiang swing again. Let's see if he misses the calculation, otherwise, I always feel unsteady in my heart......"

At this time, Chang Rensheng on the side said to the team leader Hua with a smile:

"Teacher Hua, I don't think we need to continue to put it on, right? Anyway, it's almost 5 o'clock now, and both of them are going to go into the countdown. Let's wait and see how the actual battle goes. Besides, when our boss suddenly played his lone piece of chess into a "net death". Now I'm afraid it's only the big dragon that has made a move on the black chess, right? Because there is nowhere else for white to win or lose. ”

Chang Rensheng was right, when the game of Li Xiaoqiang vs Xu Bongzhu reached about 100 moves, when Li Xiaoqiang suddenly died a piece of chess. The only attraction of this game of chess is to see if Li Xiaoqiang can slay the dragon. Because at this time, Li Xiaoqiang can be regarded as having a "deficit" of 30 goals. He only profited from ordinary "attacks", which could not make up for such a large loss.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether his previous move was intentional or not, or if there was really a miscalculation. If Li Xiaoqiang wants to win now, he has only one way to go:

That is, the black dragon in the "sphere of influence" of white chess must be killed!

It must be admitted. In a game of Go, "dragon slaying" is always the most eye-catching. When the "Toyo Securities Cup" top 8 match was held until a little more than 5 p.m. The second matchup of the 4-set match has ended. Cho Ji-hoon, who represented the Japanese Chess Academy, defeated South Korea's Cho Yanzi. In this way, the Japanese players have already grabbed two places in the top four.

In another corner of the game room, although the match between Li Shifo and Kobayashi Koji has also entered the most critical moment. However, in the viewing room, their game seemed to be unattended for the time being. At this time, even the Japanese chess players and Japanese media reporters who were present came over to watch Li Xiaoqiang's game.

Among the onlookers were Masao Kato and Zhao Zhixun, who had just won, as well as Nie Whirlwind and Cao Yanzi, who had already been eliminated. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have forgotten the pain of their defeat. They started to care about the performance of their teammates. Everyone gathered together to have a lively discussion on this game of chess, dismantling all kinds of changes.

The match between Lee Xiaoqiang and Seo Bong-so continues step by step. At half past five o'clock in the afternoon, when the latest chess game was transmitted to the viewing room, when everyone saw Li Xiaoqiang's latest move. The Chinese players in the viewing room began to smile. And what about the Japanese and Korean chess players present? Their expressions looked a little complicated.

"Now it is almost certain that there is indeed no miscalculation in front of White, and he should have thought about slaying the dragon a long time ago. He should have figured out this earlier, right? If I hadn't calculated this ultimate method, I wouldn't have believed that he wanted to slay the dragon so early, this is really a textbook dragon slaying strategy! This should also be regarded as a famous game of white fan, right? Tsk, "Li Xiaoqiang's long test". Sure enough, it lives up to its name......"

This is said by Mr. Masao Kato, a famous "executioner" in the Japanese chess world, Mr. Masao Kato. When he gave his judgment, the Chinese players present showed expressions of deep disapproval. The South Korean chess players and reporters who were present also seemed to have nothing to say.

Indeed, when this game is played at this time. Everyone thought it was a matter of time before Li Xiaoqiang won. Putting aside Li Xiaoqiang's subtle dragon slaying methods. Even Li Xiaoqiang's chess ideas in this and the dragon-slaying courage he showed should be worthy of the word "famous game".

The reason why Li Xiaoqiang was able to slay the dragon in this game of chess was the most critical factor. Or is it because of the existence of that "rocking robbery"!

Many people know that in Go, there is a kind of "chess is one foot long." self-living without eyes". To be honest, the big dragon of today's black chess is actually very much in line with the condition of "chess is one foot long". Especially when the game is about 80 moves. In order to break off this big dragon, Li Xiaoqiang actually gave a "back hand and eye position" to others. Then the big dragon of black chess is more suitable for this condition.

In this way, this big dragon is not only "one foot long", but also has a relatively rich eye position. Therefore, in chess like this, ordinary people will not be murderous at all. Some players don't even think about this place. But why was Li Xiaoqiang able to slay the dragon successfully? This is mainly the role of the "rocking robbery".

The reason why the saying "chess is one foot long, and it lives without eyes" is true, and the biggest reliance is due to the existence of "robbery eyes". When a lone piece of chess is caught in an enemy encirclement. When you honestly want to code a "real eye", sometimes it is indeed not so easy. For example, in Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess, he calculated that under ordinary circumstances, the big dragon of black chess could not make the second iron eye, so he dared to slay the dragon.

But generally speaking, if the lone side plays a little more, it will be a little more "flexible". So if you want to create a "robbery eye", it is relatively easy. Moreover, because his chess is relatively "long", "one foot long" means that he has more "self-robbery". With this favorable condition, it is easy for a "robbery eye" to become a "real eye".

It must be pointed out that the saying that "chess is one foot long, and it lives without eyes" can be regarded as the existence of "chess theory" by so many people. "The robbery eye becomes the real eye" is a very important reason.

However, Go is so interesting, in some special cases, the saying that "chess is a foot long, and it lives without eyes" is not necessarily true. For example, in the case of "rocking the oar" on the chessboard.

For example, today's match between Li Xiaoqiang vs Mr. Seo Bong-so.

When there is a "rocking catastrophe" in this game, it is not wrong to say that the white piece is "net death". However, white is not without its benefits. Its biggest benefit. It is to provide Li Xiaoqiang with endless robbery materials.

Not only that, but because there are a lot of dead discs in white itself, there are also a lot of blacks that are involved in the killing. The number of chess pieces involved in this "Swinging Robbery" alone exceeds 40. If this is converted into meshes, this is already equivalent to 80 meshes. Plus the sporadic number of other meshes. The value of this loot is nearly 100 mesh.

One is of great value and the other is "endless". So what does this mean for Li Xiaoqiang? This of course means that Li Xiaoqiang will not be afraid of any form of robbery.

The logic should be very clear now, right? Suppose there is a "rocking robbery" of great value on the chessboard. Then it happens to be the nemesis of "chess is one foot long, and it lives without eyes".

When Mr. Seo Bong-so was ready to seek live chess, he did not dare to create a "robbery eye". Because it's useless for him to make it, his "robbery eye" will never be able to become a "real eye". Li Xiaoqiang also calculated this point. That's why he dared to make up his mind to slay the dragon at such an early stage.

Of course, the truth here is actually very simple. But if you want to achieve this goal in real combat, it is extremely difficult. Why did Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess attract so many eyeballs? There are two key challenges here. It's hard to make up your mind to do that.

The first difficulty in this is when Li Xiaoqiang executes his dragon slaying plan. He had to "take a gamble" because he had to lose more than 30 meshes before he could meet the conditions for slaying the dragon.

To be honest, from the perspective of actual combat psychology, it is actually very difficult to make such a determination. Especially when you are in a good situation, it is not easy to make this decision. For example, Team Leader Hua was worried just now, he was actually worried about this desperate approach.

This is the second difficulty. That's because of the amount of computation involved, of course. For example, when Li Xiaoqiang just chose this line of thinking. He not only had to predict whether the "Swinging Robbery" would appear, but also calculate the specific means of slaying the dragon. If this move is wrong, then the game will be explained immediately.

"Let's talk about it, Xiaoqiang is playing chess more and more domineering now. At first, Mr. Seo Bong-so just wanted to cheapen him for a game or two. But let's see what Xiaoqiang does? He actually dared to slaughter other people's dragons in such a strange way. What's more. Now it seems that he has really succeeded him...... Hehe, I really want to know now that when Mr. Seo Bong-so fights Xiaoqiang in the future, will he leave a psychological shadow......"

It was past 6 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time. The match between Li Shifo and Kobayashi Koji has also ended. In this set, Li Shifo defeated Mr. Kobayashi by 1 and a half mesh. In this way, Li Shifo can be regarded as forming a breakthrough of his own. He reached the semi-finals of the World Series for the first time. It also reserved a place in the semi-finals for Korean Go.

And Mr. Kobayashi, as the "first person" of Japanese Go, actually "lost" to two 16-year-old young chess players in the two world championships this year. This surprised everyone at the same time. Mr. Kobayashi himself is depressed enough. So when he finished losing, he didn't show up in the viewing room. Instead, under the pretext of being unwell, he ran back to the hotel alone to rest.

It's about the same time. The match between Lee Xiaoqiang and Mr. Seo Bong-so is not over yet. But it seems that the situation is very clear. Although the black dragon is still struggling, the net of white has also tightened. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the big dragon of black has any room for survival.

Now even amateur chess players such as reporter Zhang Da can easily judge: Li Xiaoqiang's victory should only be a matter of time. Therefore, when he was waiting for Li Xiaoqiang's victory, he even made a joke about "psychological shadows" with the Hua team leader next to him.

After hearing reporter Zhang Da's joke, Team Leader Hua didn't say anything. However, judging from his expression, he seems to agree with reporter Zhang Da's point of view. It is true that there are many ways to win Go. But the way Li Xiaoqiang won chess today is very rare. It looks a bit sinister though, and it's a bit of a desperate smack. But after winning the chess, the blow to the opponent is undoubtedly huge.

Not to the surprise of Zhang Da's reporters, after a few minutes, the news finally came out in the game room, when the entire chess game was about 170 moves, Mr. Seo Bong-so finally stopped struggling, and he chose to throw in the towel.

In this way, Li Xiaoqiang also occupied the last semi-final seat in the "Toyo Securities Cup".

After the news of Li Xiaoqiang's victory is finally confirmed. Team Leader Hua finally relieved them. Indeed, with the victory of this set. Li Xiaoqiang not only secured a place in the semi-finals for the Chinese team, but also avoided an embarrassing situation that Chinese Go might fall into. And from the content of the game itself, it was also a very beautiful win.

In the game room, when Li Xiaoqiang waited until the moment when Mr. Seo Bong-so conceded defeat. His nerves finally relaxed. Because anyway, this is the first time he has officially played against a Korean chess player. And in Li Xiaoqiang's mind, this is a game that cannot be lost. Now that we can win in such a way. His heart is still quite satisfied.

What else can Li Xiaoqiang perform in this competition?

At this moment, everyone is silently looking forward to it. (To be continued......)
