Chapter 229: Milestones
In the 6th match of the 4th China-Japan Go Tournament, Li Xiaoqiang of China played against Hiroshi Yamashiro. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the whole game had lasted more than 5 hours. The game is slowly approaching the end, and the battle between the two sides on the chessboard is close to white-hot.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Whirlwind appeared on the TV screen on time and began to explain the game. Partnering with him is Zhang Xuan Qiduan of the national team. This game has also attracted great attention from Go enthusiasts. There are many chess fans who turn on the TV at the first time and watch this Go program.
In the late 80s, Go was still a frequent visitor to the imperial court. Not only is there often news of Go competitions in sports news, but you can also see Go in the first program. Even in the news broadcast, you can occasionally see Go news. Of course, if you want to appear on the news network, it must be "major positive" news. If Li Xiaoqiang wins this game of chess, it is estimated that he will still be eligible to be on the news broadcast. If you lose, you will probably only be able to show it in the sports news.
When Nie Whirlwind began to talk about chess, many attentive chess fans suddenly found that Nie Whirlwind seemed to be a little out of shape today. Nie Whirlwind, who usually has witty words and a bit of a "poisonous tongue" style, seems to have disappeared suddenly. Instead, he was absent-minded, and even unwilling.
His performance naturally caused dissatisfaction among many chess fans. Some impatient chess fans have already begun to think about finding a place to "complain" about him. The martial arts old man in the capital is such a chess fan. However, when the listing explanation and the actual combat process are gradually synchronized. The martial arts old man had long since thrown the question of "complaints" out of the clouds, his eyes were staring at the TV screen, and he was also soulless and demented.
"It's too fine, this game is too thin......"
On TV, Nie Whirlwind didn't know how many times Lu Dao had repeated such words. He and Zhang Xuan counted the eyes of both sides on the big chessboard over and over again, and at the same time kept exclamating like this.
To be honest, it is not an easy task to do such a listing explanation. Especially live. That's more of a "physical job". Most professional chess players have a habit problem. When he faces a normal chessboard, his judgment of the situation is more accurate, and in the face of the big chessboard used for hanging board explanation, many people are not used to it, and their judgment of the situation is not so accurate. What's more, when you do a TV show, you have to face all kinds of spotlights and find ways to organize your own language. It's a completely different thing than playing against yourself.
When explaining this game, the outspoken Nie Whirlwind was completely like a challenge to the tolerance of chess fans. completely disregarded his glorious image, and was shocked on TV:
"It's going to be bad. This game of chess is worse than a small strong. Yamashiro's move is a good move, and it should be the best order for this part. It seems that it can be cheaper in this place. We just judged...... Xiao Zhang, how far ahead did we just judge the black chessboard? …… What the? Just now, black is 6 mesh, so if white is cheap, it is still 5 and a half mesh? …… In this way, Xiaoqiang is not bad......"
"Ha Lu Ha There is such a means hidden in this place. Awesome, awesome...... I've said a long time ago that our little strong is amazing, he's amazing......"
"What! Does white still have such a method of resistance? Now let's re-evaluate the judgment. Did Xiaoqiang suffer in this place...... Well, it's okay, it's okay, the current victory and defeat are still swinging between half eyes, and it's really unclear who wins and who loses...... Anyway. Both sides played at a very high level in this game, and there were no obvious leaks and losses in the whole game, which was completely a famous game......"
in Japan. Yoshio Ishida, known as the "electronic computer", also clicked over and over again on TV, and put out various ending plans over and over again. He is also constantly "predicting" the final victory or defeat, and he is also constantly denying his judgment just now.
As time went on, the whole race also got closer and closer to the finish. There is only one thing that seems to have not changed: "This game is a half-eye victory!" ”
Of course, as the race nears the end, there is one word that is being mentioned more and more. The word is "Famous Bureau!" Especially in the mouths of Japanese chess players, the word "famous game" is mentioned more often.
"No matter who wins or loses, this game can be called a famous game for both sides. It's so cruel to the losing side that they lose even when they play a famous game......"
In Japan, the "nainju" they speak of is different from the "nainju" in our normal sense.
"I hope to make a name for myself."
"This game can be considered a famous game of black......"
This is often the case in chess reviews, and it can also be heard from professional chess players. This is a habit of Japanese Go, and their requirements for "famous games" seem to be relatively low, as long as they do not play "bad moves" in a game of chess, and do not play obviously bad moves, then they can be called "famous games". If one side makes a bad move, it doesn't matter, it can also be called "the famous game of so-and-so".
According to this understanding, this game of chess seems to really be called "the famous game of both sides".
Regardless of whether it is a "famous game" or not, this game of chess will always be finished. It's close to 6 p.m. now. In the game room, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro slowed down his chess. Soon it was time to count, and his eyes kept wandering around the board, as if he was still looking for the number of eyes hidden on the board.
Li Xiaoqiang sat quietly in his place, waiting for the end of the game. At this moment, it is really impossible to describe his mood in words.
"If the opponent really discovers some hidden means, he discovers a means that I have not calculated. Will I be disappointed when I lose? Will it be painful? …… I don't know the way, I really don't know the way! ”
When Mr. Yamashiro Hiroshi was thinking, Li Xiaoqiang was even thinking like this. Because Li Xiaoqiang is sure that the best game of chess will be his own half-eye victory!
So far, the situation has been relatively simple, and the biggest official will not exceed 8 goals in the back hand. According to Li Xiaoqiang's own calculations, this game of chess should be 6 meshes on his own board, and according to the current rules, he should win half a mesh. This game was played in China. Li Xiaoqiang even considered the possibility of "sticking to the robbery". Unfortunately, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro does not seem to have such a means of resistance.
It's not that there are no "single robberies" on the chessboard, there are still "single robberies" on the chessboard, and there is more than one. However, Li Xiaoqiang is very lucky, according to his calculations, the number of "single robbery" on the chessboard is an even number, as long as the number of "single robbery" is an even number. So no matter how you play, it is one person, and there is no way for white to use "sticky robbery" to make the most difficult resistance. Li Xiaoqiang doesn't even need to calculate the number of "robbed materials".
Li Xiaoqiang believes that the chess game will be carried out at this time. The judgment of the opponent, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro, should be the same as his own. So he'll stop, he's still desperately digging for hidden means on the board.
Can you find Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro?
Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know the way, he really doesn't know the way! Go is so broad and profound, and although there are only some simple petty officials left, Li Xiaoqiang still can't be sure that there is no other means on the chessboard. There may or may not be. It's just that according to Li Xiaoqiang's current level, he will definitely not be able to find it himself.
Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro began to enter the countdown, and in the urging of the countdown, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro began to fall......
The game continues step by step. Soon. The official of the "5 eyes of the back hand" has become the biggest chess piece on the chessboard. At this time, the chess players in the live viewing room had stopped studying. Everyone stood up.
A little more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the official of the "back hand 3" on the chessboard was already the largest. Nie Whirlwind on TV seemed to be back to normal, and he became radiant again. Enraptured:
"Dear chess fans and friends, we now seize the time to make the last judgment of the situation. The TV station director told me just now that the normal live broadcast would have ended at 6 o'clock. Considering that everyone is very concerned about the final result of this match. Make an exception and extend the time for a while, so that everyone knows the outcome of this game......"
"It's not over yet, but I can tell you good news in advance. According to the judgment of the national team chess players. It is currently 6 meshes on the board. This means that our Xiaoqiang has won again! Yes, he won again! He defeated Japan's vice-marshal Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro and he won 6 in a row! …… Xiao Zhang, you'd better pinch me, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming...... This...... This...... Even in a dream, I never thought of such a result, our vanguard is now smashing the Yellow Dragon! He invited out Japan's coach Masaki Takemiya Kudan! I...... Am I really not dreaming? ”
At around 6:30 p.m., Li Xiaoqiang filled in the last single official. Wait for the referee to count and announce the result of the match. Of course, this is just a formality, and both sides of the game know the final outcome.
Mr. Yamashiro rubbed his temples, and his eyes revealed a lonely expression. To be honest, at this moment, Li Xiaoqiang really sympathized with his opponent. Generally speaking, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't believe much in "fate" and the like. However, some chess players seem to be really destined to be "tragic chess players". Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro on the other side is a living example.
According to Mr. Yamashiro's normal level, it is understandable that he did not have any outstanding performances at the World Championship. But it is absolutely unbelievable that he has not won a single title in their country. In this, there is a problem of strength, there is a problem of character, and there is also a problem of luck.
For example, in this game of chess, he has always played very well, bringing out his level and characteristics, but unfortunately he still loses, he does not lose at the level, he just loses by luck.
There is nothing to say about the chess of half a meme, there are many people who say, "Winning half a meme is luck, and winning 1 and a half is the level." In the last official stage, it seems that all the "luck" is on Li Xiaoqiang's side, which led to the loss of Mr. Yamashiro Hiroshi.
Of course, the biggest "misfortune" of Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro today is that he met a different Li Xiaoqiang.
Yes, a Li Xiaoqiang who looks unstoppable, a Li Xiaoqiang who plays at a super level!
Although he has not carefully studied this game, Li Xiaoqiang is very satisfied with his performance today. He even thinks that he is completely overplaying. I have been reborn for almost 3 years, and today's game of chess is a game of chess that I have played my best, and it can be called a milestone for myself.
What I am most satisfied with is that I made that step of "breaking", and then I got out of that step of "surrounding". It was these two "combination punches" that seemed to violate the rules of chess that opened up the situation in one fell swoop, and only then did they have the opportunity to drag this game of chess into the official stage.
Of course, this combination punch was not a good move, and when it appeared on the chessboard, it did not give Li Xiaoqiang's black chess an advantage, and the situation at that time was only "two points". But let's be honest, this combination is crucial for Li Xiaoqiang. Its importance cannot be overstated.
was able to play such a "combination punch", Li Xiaoqiang did not cheat!
That kind of idea, that kind of timing, is completely the result of Li Xiaoqiang's efforts in the past three years, and it has nothing to do with the information brought by his rebirth. This thing is completely his own. This is what satisfies Li Xiaoqiang the most.
When playing Go, you often have to face a variety of situations. Some situations tend to be more complex and seem to have a lot of clues. To be honest, if he encounters this kind of situation, Li Xiaoqiang in the past is often "more proficient", whether it is fishing in troubled waters or whimsy, that situation can always provide him with opportunities.
The more seemingly bland the situation, the more Li Xiaoqiang was often helpless in the past. Therefore, he always has to use some "extremist tactics" to play chess.
Today's game is different, Li Xiaoqiang can play such a "combination punch", which means that he has made a new breakthrough in dealing with the "flat situation". It is this breakthrough that Li Xiaoqiang values the most!
Just like "two circumstances can be broken", if you can only "break", you must not be called a Go master, only to be able to "discover the situation", find some hidden situations, and discover some situations that others can't see. In this way, you can be better than others! In this way, we can gain a foothold in the world of professional Go.
"Hahaha, I said Xiaoqiang, I just can't get used to seeing you like this. I don't understand, you're just a child. I don't know what Lu Dao thinks when he frowns every day. Like a philosopher. Come on, come on, come out with a smile so I can take a picture of your glorious image......"
After Li Xiaoqiang walked out of the game room, reporter Zhang Da ran over excitedly. He was followed by a lot of his peers. Soon, Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by all kinds of "long guns and short cannons".
"After winning six in a row, you will face Japan's coach, Mr. Masaki Takemiya. What is your mood right now, or do you have any thoughts? ”
Although I don't have much experience dealing with journalists, I can still be perfunctory. In the face of most of the reporters' questions, Li Xiaoqiang was perfunctory. Only this question was answered seriously by Li Xiaoqiang, and moreover, it was sincere:
"I've always wanted to have the chance to play against the best Japanese players on a fair footing. Yes, it was one of my greatest wishes, and I am lucky that I finally got such an opportunity today. There's nothing else to say, but here I want to say a word to Mr. Takemiya, please don't be polite when the time comes, let me, a junior, have a good taste of the essence of the cosmic flow, please! ”
Li Xiaoqiang continues to move forward towards his dream. (To be continued......)
