In the first game of the "Samsung Cup" finals, Zhao Zhixun chose a unique "extremist tactic", which surprised Li Xiaoqiang, and this method also made Li Xiaoqiang difficult.

Soon after the game was in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang took a long exam, a little more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang's long exam ended, and when he began to fall, Li Xiaoqiang frowned slightly.

Although the reputation of the "Xiaoqiang Long Exam" is outstanding, Li Xiaoqiang knows in his heart that the effect of the "Xiaoqiang Long Exam" this time seems to be really not very good.

When Zhao Zhixun's previous move fell on the chessboard, the basic pattern of this game of chess had actually been formed. This is a typical "terrain confrontation" pattern, or a "extreme terrain confrontation" pattern.

The context is very clear, the pattern is very simple, but Go is like this, the more this seemingly simple situation, the seemingly simple pattern, the more difficult it is to play. The reason for this is very simple, because after this situation is formed, the "good points" on the board seem to be a little too much.

"If a piece of chess has only one weakness, then that weakness is a weakness, and if a piece of chess seems to be full of flaws, your weaknesses are not weaknesses."

The same goes for the same thing: "If there is only one good point on the board, then that good point is indeed a good point, and if it seems to be full of good points, it may not be a good point." ”

Both of these are common chess theories in Go, and it can also be considered that this is the subtlety of Go.

Li Xiaoqiang is actually facing this problem today, when the extreme pattern is formed, there seem to be a lot of "good points" on the chessboard, the value of each move is very huge, the value of moving more than 30 or 50 moves, no matter what kind of choice is made, it is enough to change the flow of the chess game. Therefore, when faced with this choice, Li Xiaoqiang certainly needs to be very cautious and needs to spend a lot of time and deliberate.

Of course, the current Li Xiaoqiang is also a master in the world, although the choice at this time is difficult, but he actually thought of two countermeasures very early, just within 5 minutes of the chess move in front of Zhao Zhixun falling on the chessboard, Li Xiaoqiang thought of two plans.

So what is Li Xiaoqiang thinking about for so long? In order to clarify this issue, it is still necessary to sort out the current situation.

When Zhao Zhixun adopted the extreme strategy of crazy land grabbing, so far in chess, black chess has circled about 60 mesh real space, and in this 60 mesh real space, there are 50 mesh very certain, that is, everyone often says "iron sky", the other 10 mesh is not very certain, in the later move may be scraped by white chess, so these 10 mesh can be called "empty potential". Of course, in today's situation, the possibility of these 10 moves being empty is very high, and it is a 10-move move that is close to the "iron sky".

So what does Li Xiaoqiang's white chess have? On today's chessboard, the only thing white has is a huge appearance in the middle of the board. This is Li Xiaoqiang's only capital, and it is also the focus on the chessboard, how to manage this appearance well, which will be the key to the victory or defeat of this game.

The two countermeasures that Li Xiaoqiang thought of at the beginning were actually two ways to operate a business. These two methods, or these two lines of thought, as Nie Whirlwind said in the research room, one way of thinking is "war", and the other way of thinking is "peace".

The idea of the so-called "war" is to prop up one's own appearance. Don't you already have an "iron sky" of about 60 meshes? Then I'll make my appearance bigger and make it look like a 100-gauge one.

Although my 100 mesh is not "iron sky", at most it can only be called "empty potential", but you can't do nothing, right? You can't just watch my "empty potential" turn into "iron sky", right? Then you have to fight me in my big form, and you have to work hard to destroy my potential for emptiness.

In this way, a fierce offensive and defensive battle will be formed, which is also the idea of a large-scale "war".

This is the most common way of thinking when there is a big appearance on the chessboard, and in the old days, Mr. Masaki Takemiya and Mr. Cho Jixun did not know how many times they staged similar battles like this.

It's exciting, and it's risky. This risk is not one-sided, and it can be considered that the risk is high for both sides.

For example, in today's situation, if Zhao Zhixun succeeds in the battle, then don't look at the potential of 100 goals in front of white chess, let alone 60 goals in the end, he may not even be able to keep 50 goals, which is of course not enough to win or lose.

In the same way, if Li Xiaoqiang succeeds in the battle, it is likely that black will wipe out all the white pieces that have entered. Since it was a dragon slayer, there was naturally nothing to say, and Zhao Zhixun was about to stand up at that time.

So it's a very exciting and risky way of thinking, and there's a bit of an all-or-nothing flavor in it. In addition to this idea of "war", there is another way of thinking of "peace" in the pattern war.

Doesn't your "iron sky" look like a lot? But it doesn't matter, because you have no other shorting potential other than "iron sky", which makes it difficult for you to go short later. Then I can make myself smaller, for example...... Make a 70-gauge look.

Although my 70 meshes still can't be called "iron sky", you have to admit that because I am surrounded by a small circle, you can't break 40 of them, right? Therefore, I also have a 40-purpose "Iron Sky". Although there is still a gap of 20 goals, don't forget, this game is your black chess, and in the later round, I only need to make half of the remaining 30 "empty potential" "iron space", then my iron air will also reach 55 mesh.

55 meshes plus 6 and a half meshes you need to stick......

Both options seem to be feasible, at least from the perspective of chess theory, there are no flaws, but why is Li Xiaoqiang hesitant? Because Li Xiaoqiang's concerns are the same as Nie Whirlwind's, no matter which plan he chooses, he has no initiative. In the jargon of Go, when you choose one of these two options, you "don't have a clear next move".

You must adjust your own moves at any time according to your opponent's response. This situation is called "improvisation" at best, and if it is unpleasant, you will be led by the nose by your opponent later.

Although Li Xiaoqiang is known to be fickle, this kind of "improvisation" is obviously not what he likes.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang just took the long test for more than half an hour, in addition to repeatedly comparing the two options, he was still wondering if he could find a third plan.

For example, it is the same business model, Li Xiaoqiang was looking for whether there was such a move, not to do 100 mesh, not to do 70 mesh, to make 80 or 90 mesh. If there is such a good point, then you will be much more comfortable in the later moves.

It's a pity that although it took more than half an hour, Li Xiaoqiang didn't find such a move, so he had to go back to his old path.

This is the reason why Li Xiaoqiang frowned slightly after he fell. At the same time, there was another reason why he frowned, because he had already felt that Zhao Zhixun was different today at this time.

His move today may seem extreme, but he must have been carefully prepared. The so-called "extreme" is only superficial, and so far he has done at least one thing well:

He didn't leave himself a really good point!

This is Li Xiaoqiang's biggest feeling after the long exam.

Because of this feeling, because of vigilance, when making a choice, Li Xiaoqiang chose what he thought was a relatively safer way to play, and he chose the "and" plan.

When Li Xiaoqiang's move was passed to the research room, Nie Xuanfeng commented on this move:

"Well, it should be said that Xiaoqiang's mid-abdomen now feels quite good, judging from this selection point, Xiaoqiang's thinking is clear now, and the proportions are just right......"

It's a pity that this is the last time Li Xiaoqiang has been praised by the research laboratory in this game.

In the following competition, all the praise and praise of the laboratory...... Even regrets were left to Li Xiaoqiang's opponent, Mr. Zhao Zhixun.

At half past two in the afternoon, the pattern of this game has been fully formed, with black 60 "iron sky" versus white 40 "iron sky" plus 30 "empty potential". How much "iron empty" can be achieved by the "empty potential" of white 30 is the key to the victory or defeat of this game.

Although the situation is not good or bad, the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides have been formed, Zhao Zhixun's task is to "break", he is in the position of "attacking", and Li Xiaoqiang can only do one thing now: "defend".

“…… Tsk, Lao Zhao really fought hard today, can this move go so deep...... Hey! This move seems to be really valid, it seems that Lao Zhao is in good shape today, and his calculations here are very accurate......"

3 p.m.:

“…… If you hide the names of the two players, you really can't see who is holding black and white in this game, and the black moves are sharp and vibrant, but Xiaoqiang's moves are debatable, right? I feel that Xiaoqiang's few steps are too conservative......"

At 3:30 p.m., someone in the research room began to judge the situation:

"Now this move, it seems that it should be the advantage of black......"

This judgment was clearly affirmed by Nie Whirlwind:

"That's right, because Xiaoqiang didn't get to the best deal with a few moves, or Zhao Zhixun played quite well, and the current dilemma of white chess is obviously insufficient......"

By 4 p.m., many people were ready to accept the reality of Li Xiaoqiang's defeat in the first game of the five-way chess final. Nie Whirlwind sighed in the research room:

"Today's Zhao Zhixun taught Xiaoqiang a good lesson......"

Reporter Zhang Da asked Lao Nie: "Then what do you think is Xiaoqiang's problem?" ”

Nie Whirlwind was silent for a while: "Xiaoqiang's problem is neither big nor small, the so-called fighting the country is easy and it is difficult to defend the country, why is it more difficult to defend the country?" This involves a change in the psychology of the game, in the past, Xiaoqiang used to impact others, but now, it is the turn of others to impact him. Didn't everyone ask Xiaoqiang some time ago, and asked him if he was ready to be the enemy of the whole world? At least judging from today's game, he is not fully ...... at the moment."

Everyone did not have an in-depth discussion on the question of "whether Li Xiaoqiang is ready", because the game is still going on, and an unexpected and most important turning point in this game has arrived.

At half past four in the afternoon, Gu Dali, who had finished participating in his own competition, came to the research room. He listened to others discussing Li Xiaoqiang's problem, but he didn't say anything, because at this time he was not qualified to discuss Li Xiaoqiang's problem, he was just studying this game of chess silently. At this time, the latest chess game came out, and Gu Dali was the first person to take over the chess game.

After 2 minutes:

"Huh? The boss's chance seems to have come. ”

Reporter Zhang Da surrounded him, and Nie Whirlwind also surrounded him:

"Where?"

"...... here"

Gu Dali pointed to a place on the chess game:

"In this place, Zhao ...... Mr. Zhao seems to have exchanged one less order......" (To be continued.) )
