Li Xiaoqiang resisted the blow of his opponent's heavy punch. Make sure you don't crash and let the game continue.

At this time, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the whole chess game had entered the official stage.

Objectively analyzing the situation of this game of chess, Liu Dazhui still has a slight advantage.

However, to objectively predict the outcome of this game, it should still be 5.5 open. Even, Li Xiaoqiang still has a little advantage.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Xiaoqiang's official level is now much higher than that of Liu Dazhu. In fact, to be able to become China's first "Tian Yuan" plus "celebrity". Liu Dazhui is very strong in all aspects of his skills. None of them have significant weaknesses. It is said that he has a lot of power in the mid-game, just because he is particularly outstanding in this regard.

But there is one thing he can't compare to Li Xiaoqiang. Yes, Li Xiaoqiang also has his own unique skills.

This unique skill is the legendary "digging pit".

"Digging a pit" cannot be classified as a certain Go technique, it is just an effective method in competitive Go.

It is for this reason that chess players who like the art of Go look down on this method very much.

Especially in this era, in the era when Go theory was dominant in Japan.

"There is nothing in the world that is worth tarnishing a game of chess."

This is a quote from the Japanese anime "Chess Soul", this is a famous saying.

Come to think of it, "anything" can't. Of course, on the chessboard, it is even more difficult to exchange "stinky chess" for "winning chess".

This was the orthodox view of Go at the time. In fact, this has always been the mainstream view of Go. However, Li Xiaoqiang knows that "digging out the pit" is an indispensable and important means of modern competitive Go.

Many people look down on "digging out the pit". Some dialects refer to this method as "mashing" or "picking up a wallet". Or simply "-stirring sticks".

We Li Xiaoqiang resolutely disagree with this statement. He would never admit that he was a-stirring stick. On the contrary, he believes that he has a high level of skill in doing so, and at least he should have a corresponding position in the game of Go. There should also be a fitting name.

Well, that's what it should be,

"Expanding the Chessboard".

How can the chessboard be expanded? Let's take a look at how Li Xiaoqiang did it.

The chess game has entered the official stage. The level of the officials of Liu Dazhui is very good, in fact, they have clearly judged the size of the officials.

Well, there is an official worth 10 purposes, another 9 purposes, and an 8 purpose, and next, there are 5 officials with 5 purposes, and there are a number of minor officials in the future.

Of course, the official is big and starts to put it away, I first collect 10 meshes, then the opponent 9 meshes, I 8 meshes......

"What's going on? After I received 10 officials, how could he accept an 8 officials. According to Xiaoqiang's level, it shouldn't be wrong? Did I miscalculate? I'll do the math again......"

Indeed, Li Xiaoqiang just received an 8-purpose official, which is 1 less than the normal collection. Objectively speaking, this move is certainly not a good move, it is completely a bad move. According to the Japanese theory of Go, Li Xiaoqiang's move has already defiled the entire chessboard. But......

"Am I not mistaken? Then it should be Xiaoqiang's miscalculation, the situation was originally better for me, and now he has lost 1 mesh. I'm going to be careful now and try to save the advantage to the bottom ......."

Li Xiaoqiang remained silent, and Liu Dazhui began to hesitate.

"Why did he accept an 8-purpose official? Is there any conspiracy? I'm going to be more careful here, first of all I'm going to make sure it's the first move, and if I fall behind, I'm going to lose money......"

Li Xiaoqiang received an 8-purpose official, and Liu Dazhui accepted a 9-purpose official.

At present, Li Xiaoqiang has not taken the next move, and at this time, of course, Liu Dazhui will not stop thinking:

"Well, I should be cheaper here, and I should be one step closer to victory, right? I need to judge again...... What's going on? Just now I knew that there are 5 officials with about 5 meshes, how can there be more officials now, 1, 2, 3, why are there 3 more officials, I will calculate again, I must not miscalculate the extra 3 officials, now there are 8 big officials......"

Everyone should almost know the way, what is "expanding the chessboard", what is "digging a pit". Li Xiaoqiang's choice of a smaller official was not because he miscalculated. He just wanted to have a few more options. It's as simple as that, the opponents are all right, and they have nothing to say. It's as simple as that.

The above is just a simple analogy, officials below 10 meshes, of course, are not easy to make mistakes according to the level of others. But it's a 20-purpose official? 25What about the rulers? Also, isn't it 3 officials who have been added, but 8, 10?

This is the expansion of the chessboard, this is the real "digging out the pit", at the cost of playing "stinky chess", trying to mess up the situation, trying to wait for the opponent's mistakes.

"Digging a pit" is better than "euthanasia".

This practice was very disdainful and contemptible at the time. Just like when the "Korean Stream" first came out......

The listing explanation continues. But later, Nie Whirlwind no longer had time to praise Li Xiaoqiang. The tone slowly turned to criticism, and at the end of the day, it was two people who criticized together:

"We should understand Xiaoqiang, he is still a child after all. It's normal to make a small mistake, for example, if this move is made, his official value will definitely be a little smaller than that move. But it's just a little smaller, a little smaller......"

"The situation is chaotic again, and I can't tell when this game will be finished. I guess it's 7 o'clock, and it's over at 7 o'clock. Don't be in a hurry, everyone......"

"Huh? How did this place come out of a robbery? Xiaoqiang is very reluctant to open this robbery. Now we have to be realistic, compared with the sledgehammer, Xiaoqiang's strength is still poor. But it doesn't matter, he's still young after all, still young......"

"What's going on with this Liu Dazhu? Doesn't he know what it means to win chess and not make trouble, why did he run to rob? But it's understandable that after all, he doesn't have much of a lead now, and he's afraid that he's going to lose. What the? When will I finish, you ask? Well, now I guess it's half past seven, half past seven......"

"Are the two of you just messing around? The two sides are in and out wrong. The quality of the latter is completely reduced, and it is completely incomparable to the front. Of course, we should understand that they have been down for 7 hours after all. Especially Xiaoqiang is still a child, understandable, understandable......"

"Fooling around, now the two of them are fooling around. This conversion is completely inexplicable and completely unnecessary. Now the situation is chaotic again, Xiao Zhang, you can take a look first.

It seems that 7:30 is not finished. What the? He also asked me what time I was finished. Don't ask, now I don't know the way, I don't know the way......"

"Are they playing Go now? Are you sure they're not playing chess? Hey, I'm disappointed, I'm disappointed now. Especially this Liu Dazhui, he doesn't have a master's demeanor at all. Well, the master demeanor ......"

"It's finally time for the petty officials. Dear chess fans, there are no more officials with more than 10 meshes now. Don't worry, let's judge the situation. Zhang, Zhang, hurry up......"

"What? Black is about 5 meshes ahead, which means that black still has to lose a little bit? It's strange, how did this Liu Dazhui get it. How did you unknowingly be chased by others and become a half-eyed winner? Xiaoqiang also has a lot of bad moves behind him, which can only show that he has more bad moves and bigger mistakes. Wait a minute, I'm going to criticize him, criticize him......"

"Dear chess fans, I have to say now that the quality of this game is not very high. Especially compared to the first half of the game, the second half of the game is not called Go, not called Go......"

It's already past eight o'clock in the evening. In the game room, the two are still engaged in a fierce battle. Liu Dazhui no longer has the calm and leisure he started with. How does he feel now?

Of course, the current Liu Dazhui has not seen the movie of Zhou Xingxing. If he had seen it, he would have burst into tears. He will definitely say to Li Xiaoqiang:

"Xiaoqiang, your name is so apt."

Yes, the current Li Xiaoqiang is like a Xiaoqiang, a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed!

Faced with Li Xiaoqiang's "digging out the pit" tactics. Liu Dazhui has been shaken, he knows that he still has the last advantage, and he works hard to maintain the advantage to the end. It's a pity that he faltered. His last mistake was caught by Li Xiaoqiang......

This mistake is not actually a mistake, it is like this in Go, some very normal ways of playing are mistakes in certain situations, such as this game.

Now he is a petty official. The biggest is the 5-eyed official in the back. In addition, there is also a reverse 2-order official. Under normal circumstances, the reverse 2 mesh is equivalent to the 4 mesh of the back hand, which is a little smaller than the 5 mesh of the rear hand. The finale, of course, is a big takeaway. In fact, Liu Dazhui also received a 5-purpose official first.

It's a pity that he made a mistake in this game of chess, and he should first reverse the 2-purpose official to win. Because in this game of chess, there are only two officials with 5 goals in the back, and there is still one person after the first reversal. So he doesn't have to rush at all, it's only right to accept the small one first.

In Go, this happens a lot, and sometimes, it's enough to reverse a game.

Therefore, many people say that winning 1 and a half eyes in Go is level, and winning half a goal is luck.

This time, luck was on Li Xiaoqiang's side.

At 8:20 p.m., the two went down for 9 hours. The referee count is over, with 184 for black and 177 for white. According to the rules of Go at the time, black won three-quarters of the sons.

Li Xiaoqiang sat quietly on the edge of the chessboard. He knew that his opponent would be sad, but he had no sympathy at all. Yes, he does not sympathize with his opponents at all. He thinks that the little sadness of his opponent is far worse than his own bitter history.

Chinese chess players, from Nie Whirlwind to Ma Xiaofei, from Ma Xiaofei to Chang Rensheng. Generation, how many Chinese chess players have fallen to this move of Korean chess players?

At that time, Li Xiaoqiang was an ordinary chess fan. Isn't it sad? Isn't it sad? Does he need to empathize with others?

It was not until later that Chinese Go gradually overwhelmed South Korean Go. Rather than saying anything else, it is better to say that Chinese chess players are no longer afraid of this tactic.

In those years when the "Korean Wave" was at its strongest. The Chinese players chose to catch up, and the Japanese players chose to tremble. Euthanasia was chosen.

Li Xiaoqiang firmly believes that digging a pit may not be artistic enough, but he is essential in competitive Go. If you want not to tarnish a game, you must not be afraid of this tactic. Make others dare not "dig a pit" in front of you.

"I'm really doing this for the good of Chinese Go."

Li Xiaoqiang bowed his head and thought silently.
