Chapter 386: A Decisive Hand
South Korea, the scene of the final tiebreaker of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup".
It was already around 5 p.m., when Li Shifo suddenly made an "unconventional move", when this move came out of the game room, and even when many amateur chess players with a little strength saw this move through live TV. Now even this part of the amateur chess fans are quickly aware of this fact>
Although it is still unclear who can win the final victory, with Li Shifo's chess, then the next confrontation should be the last battle of the game. With the end of this campaign, all the matches of this year's "Toyo Securities Cup" should come to an end.
Yes, Li Shifo's move was very fierce and surprised many people. Including Li Xiaoqiang, who was in the game room, he didn't expect Li Shifo's move. However, this move is very common, and many amateur players, including those who have either used this method against others, or have encountered others who have used this method against themselves.
Let's put it this way, if we say that the "star pinnacle" can be called the most common "vulgar hand" in Go. Then the move that Li Shifo just played can be called "the most common unconventional method in Go".
What kind of move is this? Then let's combine the progress of the whole game and see what Li Shifo wants to do now.
In the live broadcast room in the capital, after Team Leader Hua spent a long time praising Li Xiaoqiang, his current chess talk process has finally been synchronized with the actual battle. On the big chessboard in the studio, Li Shifo's move has finally appeared.
“…… We said it earlier. Xiaoqiang played very well in this area, and he clearly profited from the war in this area. I can tell you very responsibly and objectively. Now it should be a small strong advantage, huh...... Now it should be white with a clear advantage. Feng Yun, you say yes......"
“…… Some chess fans may ask, isn't the black piece now in the upper left of the chessboard? Doesn't this black patch look big and scary? So I can tell this part of the chess friends very clearly here that the way Li Shifo chose to play earlier should be a bit contrary to the chess theory. He wasn't as big as he thought. In the eyes of professional chess players, especially world champion-level chess players like Xiaoqiang. It's easy to deal with this kind of look. Now let's see how the top players deal with this kind of appearance......"
“…… Do you see that now that white has gained a valuable first move, he will start to deal with this appearance on his next move. So where will Xiaoqiang go now...... Right! Xiaoqiang's move was the same as expected in the laboratory. He chose one step "point 3." Three", I'm going to take out this corner first, and then ......"
“…… Some people may say that against other people's "star" positions, this move point 3, three is not a very ordinary move, such a chess can even be played by an amateur chess player, what is the big deal? That's right, it's normal for chess fans to think like this, this move is very ordinary in terms of technique. Even a beginner can play such a game. But I still have to say that when I saw this move, I still felt very relieved. Because what does this mean? It shows that Xiaoqiang's judgment is very accurate now. He is also very cool-headed, and he must also think that it is his advantage now, so he will choose this safest and most concise way of playing. As for what will happen after the corner...... Feng Yun, let's put a few simple reference diagrams, and make a situation judgment with us. So that everyone can be clear. Why do we say that Xiaoqiang's choice is very wise......"
“…… Now everyone has seen it, the stereotype we just chose for Xiaoqiang. Those are some of the most honest moves, but even then, white can easily gain a big advantage. I would like to take this opportunity to deal with the principle of dealing with this kind of big touch. I know that there are many chess fans who are the most unavoidable of seeing their enemies become such a big void. For example, in today's situation, I estimate that many chess players want to rush into the black chess when they see it, right? In Go, this is called "hating the void". In fact, some of the enemy's big appearances are actually not terrible, such as today's game of chess, if Xiaoqiang also chooses to enter now, such as playing here, such as playing there...... This is not to say that it is not okay, it is not possible to say that Xiaoqiang must not be able to do this. But everyone should know that if Xiao Qiang plays like this, then his opponent must be very welcome, and black is now worried about not being able to find a lone attack. Therefore, if white plays like this, it can be said that it is playing right in the arms of black. Only like Xiaoqiang is now, this is the wisest choice. Why is Xiaoqiang's choice good, we have just analyzed, so that not only can we easily maintain our advantage, but also it is very safe, and it will not give the opponent a chance. Therefore, I would say that Xiaoqiang's choice is very calm, and his chess game is very reassuring......"
“…… To deal with the enemy's big pattern, or big empty, there is another principle that everyone should pay attention to, that is, we must follow the principle of "first down and then up", in layman's terms, you have to find a way to dig below first, and then return to the top after digging. Everyone, please pay attention, this order must not be mistaken. You can't "eliminate" at the top and then run to the bottom to "dig" if you get this sequence wrong, then the situation on the board is likely to change......"
“…… Okay, after analyzing so much just now, let's take a look at the actual combat process, if nothing else, I think Xiaoqiang is getting closer and closer to this world championship. In the face of Xiaoqiang's move point 3, three, of course, black chess does not have many options, he can only block one step, and he can only block this side in the correct situation...... Hey? Black didn't block this side, he chose to block that...... Feng Yun, how do I feel that Black's marksmanship has become more and more chaotic, he seems to be blocking the wrong direction, right? Shouldn't the block be significantly larger? What's going on? ”
"Yes, you're right, I also feel that black should be in the way, because from the point of view of the encirclement. The block is obviously bigger, and as for why black chose to play this way, I don't know what he wants to do for the time being. ”
"Is it a mistake in the game?"
"Nope. I just made a point to confirm that this is how the actual battle went. ”
"This ...... Okay, okay, let's not investigate the reasons for the time being, let's continue to look at the actual battle, there is nothing to say about the current white chess play, which side of black "blocks" and which side of white "climbs". As for Black's next move, he should normally "pull" a move...... Feed. Hey, I said Feng Yun, what are you doing when you look at the chess game? Hurry up and put the actual process on the big chessboard. ”
At this time, it happened that the latest chess game was transmitted to the studio and to Feng Yun. When Feng Yun took the chess game and glanced at it, she was stunned for a moment. Then there was a look of surprise and surprise on his face. When she heard Team Leader Hua's reminder, Feng Yun first smiled embarrassedly, and then she explained>
"I'm sorry, I just saw a move that I didn't expect. But when I saw this move, I now finally understood why black was in the way. Mr. Hua, there is no "wrench" in the next move of black, he is playing under the "wrench", and he is playing in the position of "2, five" on the chessboard. Looking at it like this, it looks like black is about to forcibly kill the corners......"
Yes, Li Shifo's "unconventional" means. This is the move. It should be said that due to the characteristics of the "star" position in Go, when "point 3, three" is usually used to deal with the "star position", it is generally possible to live one piece, according to the normal formula, and even be able to move first. But that's what Go is. There are exceptions, and "usually" is always just "usually". In some special cases. Black can also use such unconventional tactics to force a kill. And this move is in the "2, five" position of the chessboard, which is where Li Shifo just landed.
Of course, the reason why this move is said to be an "unconventional means" is because this move is generally difficult to set up, and it requires a strong external potential to cooperate, and in today's situation, there is indeed an external potential outside the black chess, but is this external potential considered "very thick"? No one knows for sure at this time.
There is another reason why this move is "unconventional", and that is that as a professional chess player, such a move is difficult to play, because the only function of this move is to kill. If you can't slay the dragon, then you will lose a lot of meshes, and you will not be able to continue under normal circumstances. As we all know, in Go, the difficulty of "slaying the dragon" is much greater than that of "curing orphans". For example, in this situation, white can "wrench" a "tiger" in the 2nd way, make a robbery to resist, and then use the "own robbery" to deal with black, so as to achieve the goal of curing orphans.
So it can be said that although this move is called "the most common unconventional move", it is not very common in professional matches. So in what situations are it common? In handicap chess, this move is more common in games where the skill levels of the players are very different.
Of course, this is not uncommon in professional competitions. For example, it is possible for a certain side to choose such a move to make a desperate bet in an attempt to win in the chaos. For example, like now, when Team Leader Hua just saw this move, he thought >
"Oh! Where is black playing? Hehe, now it seems that the opponent is the same as us, and he must have realized that his situation is no longer right, so he chose this way. Is this kind of law valid? Although it looks a little confusing, I feel that white should not be afraid...... That's it, Feng Yun, now that black wants to kill chess, let's just put a few changes and see how Xiaoqiang should do it. ”
So in the studio of the live TV broadcast of the imperial court station, the two commentators began to set up a change chart on the big chessboard. However, after more than 1o minutes of playing, the two could not help White find an obvious way to survive.
"Mr. Hua, now it seems that on this special occasion today, this move of black chess is really difficult to deal with, you say?"
"This ...... What's going on, the black chess doesn't look very thick, how can the white chess stick left and right, but it can't always make two eyes? Regardless of it, let's still look at the actual battle, let's see how Xiaoqiang's actual combat is played. Let's be honest with everyone, I always feel that black can't kill white in this place. Of course, if I go up and down, maybe I will really be eaten by others. But I believe that our Xiaoqiang will definitely not, now let's appreciate Xiaoqiang's means of treating orphans......"
"But Mr. Hua. Now the chess game that has been passed back is only here, and we can't see Xiaoqiang's move behind us for the time being. ”
"Oh? It's already 5:1o, as normal. Both sides of the game should be in the countdown, right? What is the situation of Xiaoqiang's time now. ”
"Yes, when the black chess offered this unconventional move, it was a long time ago, and the news from the scene came back, in the face of this move, except for the inevitable response of the first few moves, Xiaoqiang did not fall for a long time. He took the second long exam of the bureau again, so by this time. Xiaoqiang should have entered the countdown. He should also be down now, but because of the time difference, the latest chess game has not yet been transmitted, and we can't see Xiaoqiang's coping method. Or shall we wait? ”
"Oh!"
After listening to Feng Yun's words. Team Leader Hua, who had been dancing with his eyebrows, now looked a little unsightly. There are several reasons for his "unsightly appearance", the first of which is of course because of the current situation on the chessboard. To say that when talking about chess, Team Leader Hua has always thought that Li Xiaoqiang's situation is smooth. But now, there is a little bit of a sudden change in the situation. Team Leader Hua not only did not help Li Xiaoqiang find a suitable way to treat orphans. And there is such a meaning in Feng Yun's words: At least Li Shifo's move was unexpected by Li Xiaoqiang. At the very least, in these 1o minutes, Li Xiaoqiang should not have found a way. Therefore, when Team Leader Hua had such a thought in his heart, he would naturally be a little up, which would affect his face.
The second reason, that's because it's going on live TV right now. To know. When doing TV shows, of course, it is the most taboo "cold scene". But the current team leader Hua found that he was currently facing the dilemma of being cold. Because I want to keep talking. For a while, I really found that I didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the Chinese team leader is Lao Jianghu, and he is very experienced in dealing with such scenes. At this time, he suddenly remembered that there were Chang Rensheng and Luo Shen Pig in the next room. Therefore, Team Leader Hua brought them over to save the scene.
“…… Okay, let's talk and wait, talk and wait...... Ladies and gentlemen, we are waiting for the latest chess games. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you a few of the pillars of our future Chinese Go. They are all Li Xiaoqiang's teammates in the national team. Don't look at their young age. But they're all pretty good. Since we have this opportunity today, let them talk about this local issue of life and death. So that everyone can see the power of these young people......"
When the members of the national junior team came to the studio, the time for the members to introduce themselves and greet the audience was very brief. After everyone came, everyone went straight to the point, and Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu walked to the front desk to explain the research results they had just conducted to the TV audience.
"After our research, we found that white chess is indeed a bit dangerous now, don't look at the black chess This external potential does not seem to be complete, but it happens to be able to hold on, no matter how white breaks through, black chess happens to be able to kill the big dragon of white chess. And in the process, white didn't even have a chance to rob him. Here's what happened......"
When Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu said this, the two of them took black chess and white chess on the other, and there were various reference diagrams on the big chessboard. If you want to say that the changes they have made now are much more thoughtful than the changes they have just made in Team Leader Hua. Not only was every change very complete, but also helped Li Xiaoqiang find all kinds of strange means of resistance. But unfortunately, although there are many changes here, the final outcome is the same, that is, white chess can not live his own big dragon.
Faced with such an analysis result, Team Leader Hua couldn't believe his eyes. At this moment, Team Leader Hua's face naturally became worse. However, although Team Leader Hua couldn't accept it emotionally, his reason told him that what Chang Rensheng said should be true. Because such a situation is very simple, in fact, you can treat this problem as a real combat life and death problem. If you think so, then Team Leader Hua believes that even if a group of top masters come to study, they may not be able to calculate so quickly and accurately as these young people.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? Could it be that this big dragon of white chess is dead like this? Where exactly is the problem? ”
"We've just analysed this issue. We now think that Li Shifo is still powerful, Mr. Hua, do you remember? When Li Shifo built that external momentum. At the time, we all thought that he had lost money, and that he should have had other options at that time. If he chooses to play otherwise, the situation is a little worse. But after all, it is a fine chess position. And he chose the actual combat method, and the loss in the number of goals was obvious. But now it seems that Li Shifo is indeed far-sighted. We all ignore his true intentions. ”
"You mean, black was murderous at that time? The changes you just studied, Li Shifo calculated at that time? ”
"Although I don't want to admit it, let's be honest, the real situation should be like this. Everyone, pay attention. Especially when he formed this external momentum, there were several places where he made obvious concessions. Now it seems. He did this for the sake of killing. Therefore, the changes we have analyzed, he must have been carefully calculated, not improvised. To be honest, that's just one part. It really made us see the gap with him. ”
"So, do you all think that there is no way for white now?"
After listening to Team Leader Hua's inquiry, Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu glanced at each other. In the end, it was Chang Rensheng who answered >
"Hua, Teacher Hua, I'm just saying that we can't think of any good way now. But not necessarily our boss. You know, this situation is still relatively open, and a quarter of the board has not yet been finalized. Maybe...... Maybe Xiaoqiang really came up with some good solution......"
Chang Rensheng's voice grew lower and lower until it was silent. But this picture from the studio. also let tens of millions of Chinese chess fans who are concerned about this game know through the live broadcast. When they saw this picture, many people's hearts sank. At this moment, many chess fans began to worry about Li Xiaoqiang.
at Huaqing University. Zhao Dabao was watching live TV with a group of classmates, and when Zhao Dabao saw this picture, he showed a look of anxiety, and he was talking to himself >
"Alas, this Li Shifo! This Li Shifo turned out to be so powerful...... Chubby, you've got to figure it out. ...... by all means."
In the martial arts uncle's house in the capital, when this picture appeared on TV. The martial arts old man, who had been dancing with all kinds of martial arts tricks, also stopped moving. He looked at the TV > in front of him in a daze
"How...... How so? This...... This, does Xiaoqiang still have a trick now, can he still come up with any good solutions......"
In Li Xiaoqiang's alma mater in his previous life, that is, Lin Mengyu's current study. A group of Go enthusiasts are also watching the show. Among them, including Li Xiaoqiang's former roommates Wei Han and Yan Qing, of course, also includes Lin Mengyu.
When this picture appeared on TV, Wei Han and Yan Qing reacted the same as many chess players. They also began to get anxious and began to worry about Li Xiaoqiang.
"Well, this Li Shifo turned out to be really powerful, we all underestimated him before, and now it seems that this Li Shifo and our Li Xiaoqiang are a heavyweight, everyone says that is not ......"
The one who can say this kind of thing, of course, can only be Yan Qing, because one of his hobbies is to classify professional chess players. However, Yan Qing's comment was not finished, as if he had discovered a new continent, he suddenly said to Lin Mengyu>
"Huh? I said Lin Meinu, your expression today is not right, why can't I see a trace of worry on your face? ”
"Worried about what? Why should I worry? ”
"I'm worried that Li Xiaoqiang will lose the chess, don't you see that the current situation of white chess is tight?"
"Tight on white? I don't think so. ”
"Hey, you didn't watch the live TV broadcast just now, white chess is now in danger of being slain, and this situation is not tight."
"No, my Go level is very low, but I just watched it very seriously, I just think ......"
"Think what?"
When many classmates turned their eyes to Lin Mengyu, Lin Mengyu's gaze was still calm, she calmly looked at the TV screen in front of her, and then she said word by word>
"I just think that the big dragon of white chess should not die."
"Oh? Why do you think so? ”
"There's nothing why, I just believe that Xiaoqiang's big dragon is definitely not that easy to kill, yes, I never thought that anyone would be able to eat Xiaoqiang's big dragon. That's my reasoning. ”
“……”
So is Lin Mengyu's intuition correct? Can Li Xiaoqiang come up with any good solutions? Now everyone's attention is focused on Li Xiaoqiang's next move. Because Li Xiaoqiang's next move is likely to reveal whether he has thought of a way.
Coincidentally, since the Chinese team leaders have nothing to talk about now, the TV station director cut the picture to the scene and into the game room. So you can see what's going on inside the game room on the TV screen.
"It's moved, Xiaoqiang is starting to fall, I really want to know where he landed...... Oh? Xiaoqiang's move is a pawn, right? How can he say that he hasn't figured it out yet? ”
In the TV screen, everyone happened to see Li Xiaoqiang playing a chess move, and Li Shifo should also be fast. What's more coincidental is that when Li Xiaoqiang dropped this move, the monitor set up in the game room also gave a shot of the chessboard, and everyone could clearly see Li Xiaoqiang's position. As a result, everyone's expectations turned into disappointment, and with it, a deeper level of worry.
Because everyone clearly saw that the move Li Xiaoqiang played just now was a "fight"! Then this means that Li Xiaoqiang has not thought about it at this time.
The TV footage is still stuck in the game room. 1 minute! Li Xiaoqiang now has 1 minute to think! In that case, in the next minute, what kind of chess can Li Xiaoqiang play?
So the chess fans who care about this game of chess are waiting, and at this moment, it seems that all the people are thinking with Li Xiaoqiang. This minute seems so long, as if it is so short.
“55,56,57……”
In the urging of the second count, Li Xiaoqiang finally moved. His hands appear to be very steady, and his movements are very standard. is not only standard, but many people even see a calmness and elegance in Li Xiaoqiang's falling movements.
Yes! Just when everyone saw this falling action. That's what a lot of people think. There are many people who even think that Li Xiaoqiang should have the chance to win.
Because at this time, the close-up was not given to the chessboard, but to Li Xiaoqiang's face.
When Li Xiaoqiang fell this move, everyone saw: he seemed to have fallen a decisive hand! Because his eyes are so confident and proud. If you observe it more carefully, you can still find a smile at the corner of Li Xiaoqiang's mouth.
Li Xiaoqiang's smile is the smile of the winner!
So when everyone saw this picture, although everyone didn't know where Li Xiaoqiang was. But a lot of people are already aware of >
Now Li Xiaoqiang should really come up with a good way! Just now, Li Xiaoqiang should have made a decisive move! And this chess hand will determine the fate of this game, and it will also determine the ownership of the champion of this competition!
What kind of move is this?
The first duel between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo will soon be decided. (To be continued)
