Between Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei, there have been more than ten chess battles, and the two have played dozens of games so far. With so many battles, it should be said that both of them should have practiced any type of chess game. But if you take a closer look at the game between these two, there is one type of situation that is rare in a two-man match. That is the kind of situation where Ma Xiaofei is the main attacker and Li Xiaoqiang is the main defender.

The most common game between these two people is the situation where Li Xiaoqiang is attacking and Ma Xiaofei is defending or treating orphans. Or the kind of "kung fu chess" where the two sides balance the power. But if you want to see Ma Xiaofei take the initiative to attack in the game between the two, such a situation is rare.

But just today, when Liu Da Hammer watched the process before the fourth set of the "Tian Yuan Match" final, he felt that this situation was very likely to occur, so he felt special.

If you think about it carefully, Ma Xiaofei is actually not only against Li Xiaoqiang, he rarely takes the initiative to attack any chess player. This is also determined by the characteristics of Ma Xiaofei's chess style. Ma Xiaofei is super fond of playing chess, and even when he plays games with Zhao Zhixun, he often forces Lao Zhao to go to the situation of being around, which shows how much he likes the field. One of the main characteristics of this type of player is that it is very difficult to see him attacking when he is playing. The main way for this type of player to win is to maintain a little bit of a real and empty advantage from the beginning of the prologue and then try to maintain this advantage in the later stages by avoiding the opponent's attacks. If he maintains it, then he will win the chess, and if he can't maintain it, then he will naturally lose. In this regard, Ma Xiaofei is a real expert, which should be regarded as his greatest technical specialty.

In fact, this is also very normal, the same level of competition, if a side has more real space, then the whole chess must be thin, most of the time must be in an attacked position, this is the normal law of Go. If one side is "thick and empty", it can only be two cases. One is when the two players are not of the same level, and the other is when one of the players makes a serious mistake in the process.

But today's chess seems to be a little different. From the beginning of the layout, Li Xiaoqiang vigorously fought for the ground, and the scramble was a bit excessive. In this way, a pattern of Ma Xiaofei taking the momentum and Li Xiaoqiang taking the land was formed on the chessboard. The key to the chess game is to see how Ma Xiaofei attacks. To be honest, a situation like this is rare in a game between the two. This is definitely an atypical game between these two. Therefore, it is no wonder that Liu Dazhui felt a little special after seeing this situation, and he was even a little elated now.

"Good! This kind of chess is beautiful! Ma Xiao has always boasted that he has a lot of strength. To be honest, I'm quite unconvinced by his claim. I have always only admitted that he is a "demon" in chess, and it is very difficult to play if he is slippery, but I will not admit that he is powerful. It's just right today, so let Xiaoqiang weigh his catties......"

Liu Dazhui said this, of course, there is a reason. He and Ma Xiaofei, as a pair of good friends recognized in the domestic chess world, are used to teasing each other. Originally, he was recognized as a "strong man" in the domestic chess world. The power of Liu Dazhui has been recognized by everyone. But with Ma Xiaofei, Liu Dazhui's "power" was despised.

"If I fight against a sledgehammer, I'm always going to be angry. How can this be said that his power is great? If his two catties of brute strength are also considered strength, then it should be said that my strength is great......"

Although he knew that Ma Xiaofei was ridiculing. But considering his poor record against Ma Xiaofei, Liu Dazhui is naturally helpless about this statement. It is conceivable that for the 4th game of today's "Tian Yuan Competition" finals. Liu Dazhui is absolutely unconditionally on Li Xiaoqiang's side.

"There is a rare situation today, Xiaoqiang is definitely intentional, this is almost certain. Xiaoqiang's current chess style is becoming more and more comprehensive. He is comfortable with all kinds of situations. So it's understandable that he chose today's play. But what about the small horse? Is he doing this on purpose? There are still other reasons, which need to be analyzed. ”

When explaining this game of chess, it should be said that Liu Dazhu's sentence is to the point. A game of Go, especially this typical pattern of "terrain confrontation", is not something that one side can achieve if they want to. If it is like Masaki Takemiya and Zhao Zhixun, because the styles of the two are completely different, both sides may feel that "it is just right", then there is naturally nothing to say about the formation of this pattern. But what if it's Ma Xiaofei and Zhao Zhixun? Both of them have the same extreme preference for the field, so why do they also have that extreme "terrain confrontation" pattern in their games? And it is often when Zhao Zhixun takes the position. That must be because Zhao Zhixun felt that Ma Xiaofei had gone too far in the game. The little real profit he gained was not enough to confront his external forces, so he made the choice of actual combat.

As a very simple example, suppose that in a very concise Go formula, one side gains a field worth 10 purposes, and the other side gains an external potential worth a corresponding value. You must know that under normal circumstances, the value of the external potential cannot be quantified, and it is only because it is a "fixed formula" that the value of the external potential is considered to be 10 meshes.

If you change the place on the chessboard, and the external potential is still the same external potential, and the other side has only 9 meshes on the ground, then the chess players who choose the external potential must be the majority. 9 eyes are okay, if there are only 8 meshes, then even if the "money fan" is like Zhao Zhixun, he will definitely prefer to choose the way to take advantage of the situation.

In fact, in the early games between Ma Xiaofei and Zhao Zhixun, this situation often occurred. Ma Xiaofei frantically fought for the ground at the beginning, on the surface, he seemed to "put the chess game into the track he is good at", but in the end, Ma Xiaofei lost most of the time.

So what about today, and what about today? Li Xiaoqiang frantically grabbed the ground at the beginning of today, does Ma Xiaofei really want to "change his taste" and prepare to use his rare attack methods? Or does he think Li Xiaoqiang is a little too much? He considers the current situation to be "fully combatable".

The last 3 sets of the "Tianyuan War" final were held in Shencheng, and in addition to Liu Dazhui, there were many local masters in Shencheng City. Through analysis, everyone believes that neither of these situations is true.

First of all, let's talk about the first situation, the competition between Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei is in full swing. In this final, Ma Xiaofei also temporarily fell behind with a score of 1-2. And Ma Xiaofei just pulled back a game, so in the crucial 4th game, he will definitely not have the idea of "changing his mood". Everyone analyzes that before the game, Ma Xiaofei must want to show his best means. Therefore, the current situation should not be as he wants.

So is this game of chess too much for Li Xiaoqiang? Ma Xiaofei is very happy to form this situation? According to everyone's analysis, this situation should not be the case. Everyone analyzes the entire situation on the chessboard from the perspective of the overall situation, and believes that after the formation of this pattern, although it cannot be said how good Li Xiaoqiang's situation is, it may not be bad from the perspective of the overall situation. After the layout is completed, the two sides are generally evenly matched.

Since it is a "balance of power", then everyone has reason to judge that this should be regarded as Li Xiaoqiang's "successful layout". Because everyone agrees that this situation is not what Ma Xiaofei is good at. At this point, it can be considered that Li Xiaoqiang has successfully dragged Ma Xiaofei into an unfamiliar territory.

"I still don't understand why Ma Xiao is doing this, can't he deal with Xiaoqiang like before? Xiaoqiang fought to the ground, and he also followed the actual battle, and the two sides reached a kind of balance of power in the prelude stage, and then the two had a game of kung fu chess. This is not unheard of in the previous games between the two. ”

In the research room, reporter Zhang Da raised another question. Indeed, in the previous games between Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei, in addition to the pattern of Li Xiaoqiang's "main attack" and Ma Xiaofei's "main defense", the most common thing left is the so-called "kung fu chess". And generally when the two sides play successful chess, it is basically the situation that reporter Zhang Da said. Therefore, reporter Zhang Da didn't understand why Ma Xiaofei didn't choose this way in this game of chess.

"So I have to say, this is where Xiaoqiang becomes stronger. If you take a closer look at today's game of chess, I think it's not that Ma Xiao doesn't want to do this, but that he can't do it. Since Xiaoqiang has already seized the opportunity, even if Ma Xiao is following behind to fight for the ground, his real space is likely to not be able to take advantage. Therefore, after thinking about it, he simply proceeded according to the actual battle. ”

"Oh? Do you mean that Ma Xiao was forced to do this? ”

"I think so. We can swing around and see what the situation is on the chessboard......"

In the research room, several reference drawings are placed on a chessboard. At this time, even reporter Zhang Da could see it:

"This ...... It seems that Ma Xiao's real space can't be advantaged, and if he really plays like this, his chess may not be small and strong, and he can't take care of both ends, and the choice of actual combat can at least take care of one head, Ma Xiao should think like this in the game, right? ”

"That's right, so everyone agrees that Xiaoqiang is still getting stronger, in fact, that's the reason."

For this kind of truth, reporter Zhang Da still understands. In all the technical links, everyone agrees that what is Li Xiaoqiang's weakest point? That, of course, is the prologue stage. But like today's game of chess, he can naturally force Ma Xiaofei to choose a play that he is not willing to choose. What's more, although this method is not what Ma Xiaofei wants, it seems to be his best choice at present.

Being able to do this, of course, shows Li Xiaoqiang's progress. Li Xiaoqiang's progress, although it is not obvious enough, although it is not yet smooth, but he is indeed improving.

"Tsk, Ma Xiaofei's attack, this is rare in normal times. Be sure to enjoy it today. ”

In the viewing room, reporter Zhang Da, who was in a good mood, came to say this. This sentence attracted an enthusiastic response from everyone:

"That's that, you must study hard today, hahahaha......"

Facts have proved that although it cannot be said that Ma Xiaofei's attack ability is very poor, in front of Li Xiaoqiang, Ma Xiaofei's attack strength is really not good.

One day in late March 1995, the fourth game of the final of the 8th "Tianyuan Tournament" of Chinese Go. At almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Xiaofei saw that his attack did not have much effect, and saw that the gap in the real sky did not narrow much. He smiled wryly and shook his head, he chose to throw in the towel.

3 to 1, Tian Yuan changed hands. (To be continued.) )
