In the 4th China-Japan Go Tournament, the match between Chinese pioneer Li Xiaoqiang and Japanese coach Masaki Takemiya in the 5th section continued. This game is an opportunity that Li Xiaoqiang finally won with great difficulty. An equal chance! When Li Xiaoqiang was sure that he could play against Japan's six supers on an equal footing, he had been looking forward to the scene of the game and had been thinking about his coping strategy.

Indeed, if it was Li Xiaoqiang in his previous life, even if it was in a dream, he would not dream of the current scene. His former idol is sitting in front of him seriously, his expression is serious, he is cautious, he is doing his best to deal with himself, not only to defend his own honor, but also to defend the honor of Japanese Go.

"Even if it's a figure as strong as Japan's six supers, when I actually sit in front of you, I'm afraid you won't be sure: you will be able to take me down now......"

When Li Xiaoqiang really sat in front of Mr. Wu Gong, he even had time to think nonsense. He was proud of it. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that this should be human nature, and he will never think that he is a "villain".

Such a thought flashed in Li Xiaoqiang's mind. Anyway, now that there is a chance to realize such a wish, Li Xiaoqiang will go all out no matter what.

The strategy of his own game was determined very early, so in the opening stage, Li Xiaoqiang resolutely implemented the method he had thought of before the game without the slightest hesitation. Therefore, the progress of the whole chess game was a little unexpectedly fast, so fast that it was not like a major game, so fast that Coach Luo laughed and scolded Li Xiaoqiang for not being "steady" enough.

After more than 30 moves in the chess game, Li Xiaoqiang's speed finally slowed down and finally regained a little "steady". At this time, a group of masters in the research room finally stopped dwelling on topics such as "stability", and they focused their attention on the discussion of specific techniques.

In any case, it is only the layout stage at present, and Mr. Takemiya's "cosmic flow" is famous all over the world. After all, Li Xiaoqiang's tactics were also carefully prepared. These moves look very bland. There is no place for people to "shine". Anyway, these tricks can also be called "dignified", which is beyond reproach. It's too early to talk about the pros and cons of the whole game. Of course, the people in the research room are not ordinary people, they try to analyze Li Xiaoqiang's overall idea from these bland moves, understand Li Xiaoqiang's intentions, and see what kind of strategy he will use to deal with the "cosmic flow" in the sky.

They would never have thought that Li Xiaoqiang actually had a lot of experience in dealing with the "triple star" and the "cosmic flow". Merely. Most of Li Xiaoqiang's "experiences" come from his previous life, from the fact that his Go level was still in the amateur 3rd dan before. When his level was still before the amateur 3rd dan, the "triple star" style was very popular in the amateur chess world. Li Xiaoqiang himself does not know how to play this kind of chess, but he can often meet opponents who use this kind of play. Li Xiaoqiang had a headache about this method at that time, and he didn't know how many losses Lu Dao had suffered. It was because of this "blood lesson" that Li Xiaoqiang was deeply impressed. And let him sum up a lot of "experiences", which are just such "experiences", when his level reaches the amateur 5th dan. It seems that he is not so afraid of the opponent's "cosmic flow".

Li Xiaoqiang actually used the "experience" of the amateur low-level to deal with the top "cosmic flow" of this era. If you let the chess players in the research room know Li Xiaoqiang's true thoughts, I don't know if they will vomit blood.

Li Xiaoqiang's core idea is that it is advisable to enter the realm slowly!

"Entering the realm should be slow" is one of the ten tips of Go. Truth be told, in most cases. Li Xiaoqiang often stays away from such "purely theoretical" things. When I first came into contact with this kind of thing, I was absolutely confused, and I didn't know what the sentence Lu Dao meant. For example, "entry into the boundary should be slow", it is actually controversial in academic circles. Especially in the world of chess. They thought it should be one of the "Ten Tricks of Chess". And not talking about Go.

It should be said that there is some truth in the opinion of the chess world. If there is a dispute, the chess world may be able to leave many people speechless with just one sentence.

Where is the "boundary" in Go? In other words. Is there a "boundary" in Go?

That's a hard question to answer, right? Indeed, there is a "Chu River Han Boundary" in chess. Their "boundary" is clear and very clear. So where is the "boundary" in Go? It's very vague.

If we have to find out the "boundary" in Go, we can only introduce the concept of "dividing territory" so that we can explain the "boundary" in Go. For example, in Takemiya's "Cosmic Flow", he placed his chess pieces in a high position, and gave up all the real space in the corners to the other party. He is wholeheartedly running his own "small universe". Then we can understand that if such a situation occurs, the midbelly is his "territory", and the corners are his opponent's "territory". As long as there is the concept of "dividing territory", then the "boundary" in Go is easy to understand.

As long as there is territory, this territory must have a "boundary", and it cannot be boundless. Go is originally a game of fighting for "territory", so the "boundary" in Go is a kind of virtual "boundary", a dynamic and fluid "boundary". At the same time, it is a ubiquitous "boundary"!

The key word of "entering the boundary should be slow" is not "boundary", but "slow". Go is a game that pays great attention to "light, heavy, slow and urgent". And "entering the boundary should be slow" is a special interpretation of the "slow" in Go. The "slow" here is not the "slow" and "slow" that everyone often says. Refers to the timing of playing chess. No matter how good the means in Go are, no matter how gorgeous Tesuji, there must be a corresponding opportunity to cooperate with it. That's how you can get the most out of it.

Li Xiaoqiang even believes that if there is a "realm" in Go, then the most appropriate move at the most appropriate time is the embodiment of a person's "realm".

Corresponding to "slow", that is, of course, "urgent". In Go, it is common to hear expressions such as "Tennoyama" and "Rush". Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that he can grab the "Tianwang Mountain" and find the "emergency place" in the game of chess. This shouldn't be a great skill, at least it can't be said that this person's "realm" is very high. Only in some places that need to be "slowed", and where you need to find the "most suitable time", that is the best place to reflect a person's cleverness.

When everyone is dealing with the "cosmic current", many people like to fight-for-tat at the beginning, and in order to sabotage his ideas, they also like to put their sons in high positions. In Li Xiaoqiang's opinion. This method is too "urgent", it is just sabotage for the sake of destruction, and in this way, it will fall inferior. This kind of thinking is actually "seizing the good points of others", and there is no idea of one's own at all. Anyway, after all, it's the people who take the lead in black. No matter how much you rob, you will always be one step behind. In this way, you will never be able to win the best point on the chessboard. Rationally, this is not advisable.

Equally. If you learn Mr. Zhao Zhixun's method, it will be too "late", this kind of method is more extreme, it can easily lead to a bitter battle, and it should not be the most suitable time. If you want to deal with the big picture of others, you should do it at the most appropriate time. This timing should be at the moment before the opponent's big appearance "closes". At this time, it is the most lethal!

Li Xiaoqiang played this chess according to this line of thought. It should be said that his idea is very reasonable. The idea of Go is the same as that of the "soldier". In the thinking of soldiers, they pay great attention to "attacking halfway". When others are only halfway through the river, launching an attack at this time should be the most lethal. Li Xiaoqiang's idea of dealing with the "cosmic flow" is based on this principle.

Truly. This line of thinking is very correct and seems to make perfect sense. But to really find the most appropriate time, it is not just "reasonable" to do it. Li Xiaoqiang is now starting the long exam, which is trying to find the "most suitable time".

"Huh. How do I think this game looks like a remake of the game from a week ago? Could it be that Li Sang wants to avenge Mr. Lin? ”

Everyone in the research room is an expert, as long as you look at the first dozens of moves. Li Xiaoqiang's intentions and Li Xiaoqiang's thoughts are basically clearer to everyone. Fujisawa Hideyuki even joked with Mr. Lin Haifeng happily. Indeed, Li Xiaoqiang used a strategy to deal with the "cosmic flow". In this day and age, in fact, there are many people who have adopted it. Among them, Mr. Lin Haifeng is the representative.

In the official game between Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu Gong, Mr. Lin usually uses this idea to compete with him. Among them, Mr. Takemiya defeated Mr. Hayashi with "Cosmic Flow" in many wonderful games, such as the first "Fujitsu Cup" final just past, which was a game in which "Cosmic Flow" shined. But in the Japanese title fight, Mr. Hayashi also defeated Takemiya in a number of classic games.

In any case, chess theory is always just chess theory, not the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat. No matter how good the chess theory is, it also needs the corresponding strength to match it. Li Xiaoqiang even believes that most chess theories can only be regarded as a person's "insight" at most. Merely "well-informed" words cannot make a person dominate the chessboard. In Go, just being well-informed is simply not enough to make a person proud.

I saw that most people's eyes were on themselves. Mr. Lin Haifeng smiled embarrassedly:

"Hehe, I really don't dare to be a general, the general of the defeated army, it is not enough to be brave. I guess I'm studying today. Judging by the dozens of chess moves in front of this. Xiaoqiang is much better than me. Well, his thinking should be the same as mine, but his specific moves are more precise and have his own ideas. It can be seen that Xiaoqiang is very attentive, and for today's game, he is obviously carefully prepared. Tsk, all his methods are natural, without a single flaw. It's amazing, he's a genius......"

After listening to Mr. Lin's words, most of the members of the Chinese delegation were overjoyed. Of course, Mr. Lin's praise has a polite meaning, but at least he thinks that Li Xiaoqiang is not falling behind at present, which should be certain. In the face of the world-famous "cosmic flow", Li Xiaoqiang did not fall behind in the opening stage, which can be regarded as good news. As if to match everyone's good mood, when Li Xiaoqiang's next move fell on the chessboard. Then it was not only others, but even Hideyuki Fujisawa began to praise:

"Okay, this move is good! With this move, it should be Masaki who is in a dilemma now. Tsk, whether it's the choice of points or the timing, this move is just right. Neither does black defend, nor does it attack. This move is really the essence of entering the boundary......"

Fujisawa Hideyuki is known as "invincible in the world in the first fifty steps". In the layout phase, it is difficult to get his praise. The so-called "good hand" in Go actually has a very simple criterion, after you make a move, you can make the opponent in a dilemma, then it is likely that you have made a "good move". Especially in the layout stage, it is impossible to tell at once whether a lot of chess is good or bad. If a move can meet such a standard, then it can basically be called a "good hand".

Obviously, Hideyuki Fujisawa and his old husband are judged by such standards. When he saw Li Xiaoqiang's move, he thought about Wu Gong in turn, and found that the black chess was a little "dilemma" at this time, so he opened his mouth to praise. In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang fell a white piece. He began to break the big picture of black chess. When he thinks about this move, he must think about his opponent's position. Anticipate how your opponent will respond. This is a very common way of thinking in the game of Go.

Li Xiaoqiang is also satisfied now. Be satisfied with the move you made. Because in his range of thinking, he also did not find an ideal way for black to deal with it. This is what makes Li Xiaoqiang satisfied.

Of course, being able to make your opponent feel torn between them is one of the joys of playing chess.

It seems that Li Xiaoqiang seems to have played a good game, and Zhang Da, who has been worried about Li Xiaoqiang, has also become active:

"Mr. Lin, can you explain it to me? What's so good about Xiaoqiang's move? ”

"Hehe, as Mr. Xiuxing said. Xiaoqiang's move is very difficult to deal with. When his opponent's big move was about to close, he made this move just right. Not only is the timing well mastered, but the selection of points is also unusually tricky. If you look closely, now black chess is not in the air, nor is it in attack, if it is simply in the air, then there is only one side of the black chess empty, and we all know that it is difficult to win the chess with one side empty. What if you want to attack this sub? I don't seem to have found a good way to attack it. If the attack is not good, it is likely that the basic void of black will be broken. It's too risky to do so. Anyway, if I go up and play black. It's definitely enough of a headache for me right now. ”

"Ha Luha, I know that Xiao Qiang is not an ordinary person. Tsk, the famous "Cosmic Stream" was actually forced into a dilemma by him like this. Terrible! He's amazing......"

Reporter Zhang Da's eyebrows fluttered, completely forgetting that he was still despising Li Xiaoqiang's tricks like boiling water just now. At the same time, I was a little confused, the famous "cosmic flow", the cosmic flow used under Mr. Masaki Takemiya, is it a papier-mâché lantern? Just be poked by someone and break it?

Mr. Lin Haifeng seemed to know what Zhang Zhidong was thinking, and he continued:

"Hehe, I haven't found any good way for the time being, but Mr. Takemiya doesn't necessarily...... No, no, no, not necessarily, he must have a way. All along, his "cosmic flow" is different from others. He was a unique cosmic stream. It may be that only Mr. Takemiya can truly interpret what the real "cosmic flow" is. Now let's see how he will deal with Xiaoqiang's move......"

The chess players in the research room are waiting, and so is Li Xiaoqiang. He didn't have to wait long. Mr. Takemiya only thought for a moment, he chicly picked up a sunspot and gently slapped it on the chessboard......

After Li Xiaoqiang saw this move, the smugness he had just now was gone. He was embarrassed to find that after he had just made a move, he thought that his opponent would be in a dilemma. Just one move later, yes! It's just a move! It seems that the person who really feels the dilemma should be himself.

Is this the real mystery of the "cosmic flow"? ”

Li Xiaoqiang started the second long examination of the bureau. (To be continued......)
