Chapter 652: The Trap
"Tsk, Xiao Chang is really good at chess, it seems that he is really likely to have an upset today."
In the final of the 11th "Fujitsu Cup", when the game was going on until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, reporter Zhang Da said to the team leader next to him.
The civil war between two Chinese chess players naturally does not have much tension in the research room. After listening to reporter Zhang Da's words, Team Leader Hua also laughed at this response:
"Yes, judging from the process of this section, first, Xiao Chang's level has indeed improved significantly, and he now has the strength to compete with anyone. Second, this is mainly because he is familiar with Xiaoqiang's chess, if they don't grow up together, they are not very familiar with Xiaoqiang's chess, I guess it will be difficult for me to play like this with Xiaoqiang......"
Reporter Zhang Da and Team Leader Hua discussed mainly from more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon to the current time period. At around half past two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang had a relatively obvious long test. And like many previous games, Li Xiaoqiang's moves after the long exam attracted a lot of admiration in the research room, which was a very grand and well-conceived battle plan. In many previous competitions, there were countless chess players who fell to Li Xiaoqiang's move.
But today's situation seems to be a bit unexpected, in the face of Li Xiaoqiang's scorching moves, in the face of the complex and changeable situation, Chang Rensheng chose to fight head-on, and in the recent period of dismantling, Chang Rensheng actually seemed to be completely undefeated.
At more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 100 hands have been carried out in the whole world, although the fierce mid-game battle is far from over, and it is still too early to talk about the final victory, but Chang Rensheng's performance has aroused everyone's appreciation.
"Mr. Hideyuki, what do they think now?" Team Leader Hua asked reporter Zhang Da.
"They think that Xiao Chang has played well for a while, and the situation of black chess has not been fundamentally changed."
"Oh? Then it seems that Xiao Chang is really likely to have an upset today, hehe......"
Although reporter Zhang Da decided to temporarily break away from the camp of "Xiaoqiang fans" today, seeing the current situation, he still couldn't help asking:
"Team Leader Hua, do you think Xiao Chang will really win today?"
"Nope." Team Leader Hua's answer was honest, and he said to reporter Zhang Da with a smile: "Although we keep saying that we hope that Xiao Chang will be upset, and judging from the current situation, Xiao Chang does have the possibility of an upset. But let me be honest with you, even now, I still don't feel that Xiaoqiang will win, and in the deepest part of my heart, I still think that Xiaoqiang will win......"
Speaking of this, Team Leader Hua also added a sentence unsatisfactorily: "This is the sense of dependence that has been cultivated over the years, Xiaoqiang has used his performance for many years to make everyone always have confidence in him." ”
This feeling of team leader Hua is actually shared by reporter Zhang Da. He is actually the same as Team Leader Hua now, although he keeps saying that Chang Rensheng will win, and he also hopes that Chang Rensheng will win, but even now, he still does not have the feeling that Li Xiaoqiang will lose.
Li Xiaoqiang played against the wind not once or twice, let alone today's situation, Li Xiaoqiang, who is in a more sinister desperate situation, can often magically turn the tables. In the opinion of reporter Zhang Da, the current situation is at least the pattern that Li Xiaoqiang likes and is good at. In today's world chess world, there is no one better at dealing with such complex and changeable situations than Li Xiaoqiang. Therefore, reporter Zhang Da didn't think that Li Xiaoqiang was in a sinister situation at all, but he thought that now was the time to really test Chang Rensheng.
"Now let's see if Xiao Chang can withstand the test, and at the same time, let's see what other tricks Xiaoqiang has......"
At this moment, reporter Zhang Da thought silently.
What reporter Zhang Da didn't expect was that his guess was only half right, and he didn't see Li Xiaoqiang show any tricks later, he just saw that Chang Rensheng failed to stand the test.
At around 4:30 p.m., the only and most critical win or loss in this game has arrived. When the chess players in the research room saw Chang Rensheng's move, everyone was stunned.
"This move ......"
For today's "Fujitsu Cup" final, the Japanese side also has a listing explanation. And the Japanese listing explanation is generally divided into two groups, one is responsible for the TV hanging explanation, and the other is for the on-site listing explanation.
Today's people in charge of explaining the TV listing are Mr. Masaki Takemiya and Yukari Umezawa. The listing explanation started at 3 p.m. and ended at about 4:30 p.m., and their explanation was almost synchronized with the actual battle. In the first more than 1 hour of explanation, the two of them kept praising Chang Rensheng's moves with the same opinions in the research room. It's a pity that like all the "divine turns", when the explanations of the two kept up with the progress of the actual battle, when Mr. Wu Gong saw Chang Rensheng's move:
"This move ......"
“…… It should be that Chang has played very well in front of him, and we all thought that he was in a good situation. It's a pity that at the most critical time, Chang player finally made a mistake, and he made a bad move. Because of this move, most of his previous efforts in the first half of the game instantly came to naught. Because of this move, his dream of winning the world championship for the first time is likely to be shattered......"
So what kind of move is this? Masaki Takemiya and Yukari Umezawa are analyzing the move in detail on television. Yukari Umezawa plays the role of "Praise":
"Sir, what's wrong with this move?"
Mr. Wu Gong did not immediately explain Chang Rensheng's move, but first analyzed the move that Li Xiaoqiang had just played: "If you want to see the disadvantages of the white move, let's first take a look at the move in front of the black move." Black's move is provocative, and it can be said to be a very Li Xiaoqiang-style move. But to be honest, although this move is very confusing, it has little effect, and I don't think it's a good move. How to deal with this move? Let's put a few in place to deal with the change......"
Next, after Mr. Takemiya and Umezawa laid out a few variations on the large chessboard, Masaki Takemiya continued:
"You see, to deal with the provocative move of black, white doesn't have to think about it so complicated at all, just pick the most concise, even the most aggrieved response. Let's take a look at this change chart, the response to this diagram of white chess should be regarded as very aggrieved, right? But if we analyze it calmly, we will find that even if white responds in this way, black does not have any advantages to speak of. That's why I don't think black is a good move......"
“…… Although this move is not a good move, but because this move was played by Li Xiaoqiang, it can be said that this move is very characteristic and full of confusion, what is the biggest feature of this move? It is to lure you to counterattack, and only when you counterattack can the effect of this move be reflected. The more you fight back, the more he fights, the more you fight back, but the more you fight back, you will suffer losses locally, like in actual combat......"
It was only at this time that Mr. Wu Gong introduced Chang Rensheng's move. However, by this time, everyone could see the inappropriateness of Chang Rensheng's move. Yukari Umezawa saw it clearly, and many Japanese chess fans who were watching the hanging game explanation also saw it clearly.
Chang Rensheng chose to counterattack precisely in this place, because of his move, so that the black chess made a lot of profits in this part, thus giving Li Xiaoqiang a chance.
"It seems like a real thing, Mr. Takemiya, why do you think White chose to fight back at that time? Couldn't he see so many concise changes? ”
Listening to Yukari Umezawa's question, Masaki Takemiya sighed with emotion:
"That's the mindset when playing, or maybe it's because the players aren't experienced enough. From the previous process, we can see that the regular player has made careful preparations for today's game of chess, and he must have told himself before the game: he must be tough when facing Li Xiaoqiang, he must not retreat easily, and he must fight back when it is time to counterattack. For most of the first time, it should be said that the regular players did a good job. Therefore, he made this choice at this time, although it seems that this choice is a mistake now, but from the perspective of actual combat psychology, it is normal for him to make this choice. ”
"Then Mr. Takemiya, let me ask you another question, the move played in front of the black chess, do you think it was a trap deliberately set by him?"
Hearing this question, Masaki Takemiya laughed:
"I don't know much about this, this is only known in the post-match interview with Li Xiaoqiang, but considering the familiarity of the two players, I think it is very likely, quite likely, it is quite ......"
After analyzing Chang Rensheng's mistakes, Yukari Umezawa asked a very crucial question:
"Mr. Takemiya, after this mistake in white chess, what is the current situation? Now who do you think will win the Fujitsu Cup? ”
"It should be that the mistake of white is not serious, even if it suffers losses in this part, but objectively analyzing the overall situation, I think the current situation is still very subtle, and the overall situation is still in a two-point situation. As for who you ask who can win the final championship, I think there should be no suspense, and the championship of this year's "Fujitsu Cup" must belong to Li Xiaoqiang. ”
Why? Didn't you just say that the situation is still two points? ”
Masaki Takemiya smiled: "Then what else can it be?" Just because this is Li Xiaoqiang. As we mentioned earlier, this mistake in white is actually caused by the inexperience of the regular player, so when he suffers such a blow, I don't think he can resist Li Xiaoqiang's attack later. ”
"Oh? Are you so sure, sir? ”
Mr. Takemiya smiled again: "That's not what I said, it seems that everyone thinks so, right?" I think that in today's chess world, there will be no more than 2 people who can beat Li Xiaoqiang in such a situation. ”
"Which two?"
"One is South Korea's Li Shifo, considering his super official kung fu, maybe he can beat Li Xiaoqiang in this situation, basically, I don't think this is very likely."
"What about the other one?"
"The other one, of course, is Li Xiaoqiang himself. Being able to gain a firm foothold quickly after suffering an unexpected blow may only be possible for Li Xiaoqiang to do, this is the peerless winner and loser, this is the root of Li Xiaoqiang's strength......"
Was Mr. Takemiya's prediction correct?
At a little after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the final of this year's "Fujitsu Cup" ended.
In the game room, facing Chang Rensheng, whose face was flushed, Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly:
"It's 8 mesh ...... the plate."
The 11th "Fujitsu Cup", this is Li Xiaoqiang's third "Fujitsu Cup" championship, and this is Li Xiaoqiang's seventh personal crown. (To be continued.) )
