After Zhao Zhixun pulled back a beautiful game in the third game, many major media and many well-known chess players commented on the process before the "Samsung Cup" final:

"Li Xiaoqiang is more likely to win the final championship, but so far, Jihoon is the protagonist of this final." (Japanese Fujisawa Hideyuki old god stick)

"I must pay tribute to Senior Zhao, who told everyone why Go is called the Taoist art of fighting with life." (South Korea's Lee Seok-fo 9th section)

"This is Zhao Zhixun, a big chess player who plays chess with his life!" (9th section of Hayashi Haifeng, Japan)

"Zhao's performance made everyone's eyes shine, and at the same time, I deeply admired. At a time when professional chess players all over the world are looking for Li Xiaoqiang's weaknesses, he maximizes Li Xiaoqiang's weaknesses. (South Korea's Cao Yanzi 9 Duan)

Lao Cao's name for Zhao Zhixun is very interesting, as early as 18 years ago in 1980, Zhao Zhixun, who won the Japanese "celebrity" for the first time, once returned to South Korea to "guide" Cao Yanzi 2 sets. Maybe it's because those 2 games of chess make Cao Yanzi remember it too deeply, so he has always called Zhao Zhixun "Zhao Mingming". This title continues until now, even until they grow old in the future.

But then again, the performance of "Zhao Mingming" this time really convinced many people. Will his great performances continue? What tricks did he prepare later, and what methods did he prepare to deal with Li Xiaoqiang? This is before the 4th game, so everyone wants to know.

Game 4 finally arrived. Before the 4th game, it was still reporter Zhang Da who accompanied Li Xiaoqiang to the arena. When he was walking on the road, reporter Zhang Da kept chattering in Li Xiaoqiang's ear.

"Xiaoqiang, don't look at you now, you are still one game ahead, but you must know that this is not an advantage at all in front of Lao Zhao. Not to mention 2-0, even if it is 3-0, he has turned over many times. Lao Zhao's explosive power in adversity is quite terrifying, so you must not take it lightly......"

Seeing that reporter Zhang Da did not stop, Li Xiaoqiang interrupted reporter Zhang Da with a smile:

"I know, I said, aren't you talking nonsense, who else dares to take it lightly at this time, and who dares to underestimate Lao Zhao at this time who is a fool."

Reporter Zhang Da pretended to look at Li Xiaoqiang:

"Well, you don't look like a fool. But then again, Lao Zhao's chess play this time is really beautiful, and now even I want to know what new tricks he can play in the 4th game? Xiaoqiang, have you imagined that Lao Zhao can play any new tricks? This game is your black chess, if you don't block Lao Zhao in this game, then the fifth game will be even more difficult to say. ”

"I didn't think about it......" Li Xiaoqiang seemed very calm:

“…… I knew that Lao Zhao must have prepared something special to deal with me, but I couldn't guess it, because I couldn't guess, so I simply didn't think about it. ”

"Huh?" Reporter Zhang Da was a little surprised:

"This isn't like you usually, don't you usually claim to have a lot of methods, how can you ...... this time?"

Li Xiaoqiang interrupted Reporter Zhang Da with a smile again: "You don't need to say it, Reporter Zhang, don't ask me why I didn't deliberately prepare, because now I have figured it out, no matter what new tricks Lao Zhao plays, these are not the key to determining the outcome of the battle." ”

"So what do you think is the key to victory?"

"...... here" Li Xiaoqiang pointed to his heart: "In the face of such a crazy Lao Zhao, I think the key to deciding the outcome is in this place, as long as I don't waver here, then I believe ...... I can still defeat Lao Zhao. ”

Li Xiaoqiang has said everything to this point, so what else can a big reporter say. However, after sending Li Xiaoqiang into the game room, reporter Zhang Da made clear the highlights of this game of chess:

First, whether or not we can see Cho Ji-hoon's "special things" again is something that everyone is looking forward to at the moment.

Second, whether you can see a Li Xiaoqiang who is not moving like a mountain, this will be the key to determining the outcome of this game, at least Li Xiaoqiang himself thinks that the key to determining the outcome of this game.

The first highlight everyone quickly saw that even as early as the game had just begun, there were only 4 chess pieces on the chessboard, that is, Zhao Zhixun had just dropped his second hand of chess, and "something special" seemed to have appeared.

Seeing Lao Zhao's move, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help frowning again.

In this "Samsung Cup" five-way chess final, Li Xiaoqiang seems to have frowned a lot of times.

Seeing Zhao Zhixun's chess move, the discussion in the research room quickly sounded, and the interesting thing is that the first person to speak was Gu Dali, who began to shout loudly when he first saw this chess hand:

"No, no, it can't be any of us who told Zhao Zhixun......

At the same time as the final of the "Samsung Cup", China's "rookie king battle" is also nearing the end. The two strongest newcomers in China, Gu Dali and Kong Erjie, met in the finals as they wished. Today is the truce day of the "Rookie King War", so Gu Dali and other members of the national junior team appeared in the viewing room of the "Samsung Cup" early.

Hearing Gu Dali shouting loudly like this, Nie Whirlwind and Zhang Da reporters surrounded him:

"Dali, what's going on?"

"Yesterday the boss and we split a lot of "star, worry-free" openings, we guessed yesterday that he would use this opening today, but now ......"

Gu Dali didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

Gu Dali's "star, worry-free" is one of the three popular layouts in the Go world, "star, worry-free" opening. This is a popular start that has been around for a long time, and even decades later in the world chess world, this layout is still very popular.

One of the characteristics of this layout is that it is relatively balanced, considering that Zhao Zhixun has been using "extremist tactics" to deal with Li Xiaoqiang in this final, so Li Xiaoqiang's idea of choosing this opening is of course very understandable. Because after such an opening, it is not easy to have extreme situations on the board.

But now, Li Xiaoqiang's intention has not been realized. If you want to play the "star, worry-free corner" opening, you need at least 3 moves, play one move of "star" and keep two moves of "worry-free corner".

And what about Zhao Zhixun? Li Xiaoqiang's first move was in the "star position", and his second move chose a "outside the eye". When Li Xiaoqiang's third move was played in "Xiaomu", his fourth move was directly "hung".

In this way, the "Star, Worry-free Corner" prepared by Li Xiaoqiang has been unable to start the game.

Although it is not good or bad at this time, but invisibly, Li Xiaoqiang's intentions have been destroyed.

Not only that, just through this two-handed chess, one hand "out of the eye" and the other hand "hanging the corner", Zhao Zhixun's idea of playing this game has already begun to take shape.

"Zhao Zhixun really has ideas this time......" After seeing the first two moves of white chess, Nie Whirlwind sighed:

It's hard to tell now whether he's a whimsical move or a prepared one, but with just two moves, he's invisibly gained the upper hand in momentum. And through these two chess moves, his thinking of playing this game of chess should also be very clear, this is another extremist tactic, Lao Zhao is really full of tricks this time......"

The so-called seeing the subtleties, Nie Whirlwind's vision is of course very clever. This game is played by Zhao Zhixun in white, and compared to the side in black, white is of course more difficult to prepare. Therefore, for Zhao Zhixun's 4th hand "hanging corner", it is not so much a deliberate preparation before the game, but more likely to be an inspiration during the game.

From Zhao Zhixun's point of view: You started with "Star, Small Eye", didn't you just want to start with "Star, Worry-free Corner"? Why did you want to choose this opening? Isn't it just trying to suppress my "extremist tactics"? Since you have scruples about my "extremist tactics," I must not let you succeed......

This is the reason why Nie Whirlwind thinks that Zhao Zhixun has gained the upper hand in momentum.

At the same time, through the combination of white chess with one hand "outside the eye" and the other hand "hanging corner", Zhao Zhixun's intention is also obvious: after he chose this way of playing, he has actually avoided many familiar routines. Today's game of chess is likely to be a situation that everyone is relatively unfamiliar with.

Have a battle in uncharted territory! This should be Zhao Zhixun's thoughts before the game, which is also a kind of "extremist tactics".

Nie Whirlwind continued to comment: "There is nothing to say about this game of chess technically, even if it is an unfamiliar field for both sides, Xiaoqiang will not be half a point behind Lao Zhao, the key is the mentality of the game, in the face of the clumsy and persecutive Zhao Zhixun, whether Xiaoqiang can ensure a stable game psychology, I think is the key to the victory or defeat of this game." ”

Hearing this, reporter Zhang Da smiled:

"If that's the case, I don't think there's a need to worry so much today......"

"Oh? Why? ”

Reporter Zhang Da retold the conversation between Li Xiaoqiang and him before the game, and Nie Xuanfeng also smiled after hearing it:

"Oh? Since it's good that Xiaoqiang has such an understanding before the game, let's see if we can see a Li Xiaoqiang who doesn't move today......"

The fourth game of this year's "Samsung Cup" five-way chess final was held in such an atmosphere.

“…… In the face of White's unusual opening, Black now has two main options, one is to occupy the "empty corner", the "empty corner" is the largest, since you don't want the "empty corner", then I will grab it first. The other is to play the "small tip of Xiuce", which is a concise and solid method, and it can also be a good way to destroy the opponent's "extremist tactics", it should be said that these two methods have their own reasons, and they are good to deal with in this situation, now it depends on how Xiaoqiang chooses. However, these two ways should be able to reflect Xiaoqiang's different game mentality. ”

"Then what kind of play do you prefer Xiaoqiang to choose?"

After listening to Zhang Da's question, Nie Cyclone was silent with a smile:

"Let's see how Xiaoqiang chooses first."

The latest game soon came, and Li Xiaoqiang's fifth move chose to seize the "empty corner".

Everyone looked at Nie Whirlwind, and Nie Whirlwind showed a smile at this time:

"Good! This is the choice I would like to see. If you choose the "small tip of Xiuce", although it seems to be-for-tat on the surface, it can inhibit the opponent's play, but in fact, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of weakness. Because the game of Go is like this, the more you want to be stable, the more stable you tend to become, and the more you want to avoid battles, battles are often unavoidable......"

“…… Xiaoqiang's current choice, I think it is the right attitude, not affected by the opponent during the game, how to play chess, this is the response given by Xiaoqiang, I think this is also the most correct mentality in the game......"

“…… Seeing Xiaoqiang's choice, I am now very much looking forward to seeing a Li Xiaoqiang who does not move today......"

Eight winds don't move Li Xiaoqiang! Can Li Xiaoqiang do it in today's game?

In the 2nd "Samsung Cup" five-way chess final, the fourth game of Li Xiaoqiang and Zhao Zhixun slowly unfolded. (To be continued.) )
