In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang and Qian Yuping are competing for the right to challenge the 3rd Chinese Go "Tianyuan Competition".

Thinking about it carefully, although Li Xiaoqiang and Qian Yuping are very familiar with each other, this seems to be the first time the two of them have met in an official professional game.

In the current national Go team, Qian Yuping's age is relatively young. He is a little older than Yu Bin, younger than Ma Liu Caojiang and others. As for Yu Bin, there are many people who don't treat him as a member of the national team at all. It should be noted that this is not to say that Yu Bin's level is problematic, it is entirely because of his childish personality.

For example, if you want to find Yu Bin for something, as long as you know him well, then your first reaction will definitely not be to go to the national team's training room to find him. You have to run to the training room of the national junior team, and then you can't go wrong. It must be admitted that the nickname "Children's Leader" is not a casual call. Over time, even these familiar teammates around him habitually regarded Yu Bin as a "member of the national youth team".

After Yu Bin was "excluded" by everyone. Qian Yuping naturally became the real "little brother" of the national team. The little brother belongs to the little brother, but Qian Yuping's Go level is not something anyone can underestimate. Especially in the past 88 years, even if Li Xiaoqiang has achieved such brilliant results, he still can't hide the brilliance of Qian Yuping.

In the entire 88 years, there are 3 most outstanding Chinese chess players. The first was Nie Whirlwind, who defeated Masao Kato Kudan at the beginning of the year and ended the 3rd China-Japan Go Tournament with a victory. He then finished third in the first Fujitsu Cup and reached the final in the first Fujitsu Cup. The results are excellent and consistent. It can be considered that Nie Whirlwind at this time represents the highest level of Chinese Go. He used his performance in the international arena to prove his own status, and at the same time to prove the status of Chinese Go. There is no doubt that in the current era, Nie Whirlwind is the undoubted Dinghai Shenzhu of Chinese Go.

The second outstanding Chinese chess player. That, of course, is Li Xiaoqiang. His performance in the ring was "amazing", and in addition to this, he was able to win the first "Celebrity Fight", which also marked that his level has reached a certain height.

In general, the most important thing that Li Xiaoqiang brought to everyone was "surprise". A series of "accidents" that exceeded his actual age and actual level. Let the entire Chinese Go community "surprise".

The third outstanding chess player should be regarded as Qian Yuping. To say that Liu Dazhui was also in very good form last year, he reached the finals of the two major domestic title battles in a row, and won the title of "Tian Yuan". But compared with Qian Yuping's results, he is still slightly inferior.

During the year. Qian Yuping won the championship of the national Go individual championship and won the championship of the TV rapid chess tournament. You must know that in this day and age, in most people's minds, the weight of these two games is actually more than that of other "news chess battles". He was able to win these two championships, which proved his status in the domestic chess world. In addition to that, he defeated Masaki Takemiya Kudan in the ring. Defeated Masao Kato Kudan in the Sino-Japanese Rapid Chess Championship Match. Two consecutive victories over Japanese top players in one year proved his strength.

The current Chinese chess scene. There is a very thick "super-first-class plot". Anyone who can beat one of Japan's best chess players is something to be written about. In one year, Qian Yuping was able to break through the so-called "super-first-class barrier" twice in a row. His progress is evident. He can achieve such results, even Ma Xiaofei has to be convinced.

In today's game. It is these two players who compete for the right to challenge this "daily competition". That will naturally attract the attention of other chess players.

In the Go team, Li Xiaoqiang spent the most time playing chess with Qian Yuping. Although the two of them have never played an official game, they are very familiar with each other. More than 3 years ago, Li Xiaoqiang just stepped into the door of professional Go. In order to prepare for the match with the Japanese amateur 4 heavenly king. Li Xiaoqiang was training for the first time in the national Go team. Qian Yuping is also his "designated tutor". It is for this reason that Li Xiaoqiang still calls Qian Yuping "master".

It is said that it is because of Li Xiaoqiang's title that Cao Dafang's nine-section "dissatisfaction" has also been aroused. Li Xiaoqiang for other chess players. That's all referred to as "teacher". For example, "Teacher Nie", "Teacher Ma" and so on. He only called Qian Yuping "master". It is because of such a small difference in "treatment" that Cao Dafang is very "dissatisfied". You must know that at the beginning, Cao Dafang Jiuduan was also designated as Li Xiaoqiang's "tutor".

is also a designated tutor, why can I only be "Teacher Cao", and Qian Yuping can be a "master"......

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, although the whole game has been going on for 3 hours. But the whole game seems to be moving very slowly. There are only a handful of 40 moves on the board. Qian Yuping is frequently taking long exams. In the game, he often raised his head, held his glasses from time to time, and had a confused expression.

Qian Yuping's head was originally very big, and he was nicknamed "Big Head". In addition, he usually likes to wear a pair of wide-rimmed glasses. In the process of immersing himself in thinking, he raised his head from time to time and glanced at Li Xiaoqiang with a confused expression.

I have to say that his appearance is really a bit ...... "cartoon".

Li Xiaoqiang smiled secretly in his heart, he knew very well what his "master" was confusing. You must know that Qian Yuping is a very simple person, and in his world, there is only Go. Because of this, he is very sensitive to chess. Don't look at him, he and Li Xiaoqiang haven't met in official competitions. However, with his understanding of Li Xiaoqiang, he is in this few dozen moves. He still felt a little unusual. It was precisely because he was already keenly aware of this that he felt confused......

In this game, Li Xiaoqiang used a different way of playing. A method that seems to specifically restrain the "control flow".

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that "control flow" is actually a very profound game of Go. In the history of Go, there are not many masters who are qualified to be called "control flow". Ancient Japanese hidece counts one, and contemporary Kobayashi Koji counts one. Of course, the one who developed the "control flow" to the extreme should be the later Korean Li Shifo. This type of chess player often likes to rely on his strong second half of the game. Win in a very clear way. Their ability to read chess and their mid-game power are very strong. But in their games, this is rarely perceived.

Let's take Xiuce as an example. The reason why it is said that "his style is extremely correct" is because everyone is studying his chess games. It feels like almost every move he makes is his "own move". It's rare to see what gorgeous moves he uses and sharp tesuji. He never takes risks on the chessboard. It's just a prosaic step by step. He won the game clearly.

To say that Xiuce's chess is better, his moves, after all, can still be called "his own hand". Kobayashi Koji's many moves have even been criticized by many people as "vulgar hands". But others can't help him. Li Shifo's chess also has this characteristic. Sometimes, in order to control the whole situation, he does not hesitate to play some extremely patient chess. Even to the point of being a little "obscene", he can also make a move. He also used this style to win set after set.

The current Qian Yuping is following the same path. Of course, with his current skills, it is still impossible to "control" other top masters. But for the current Li Xiaoqiang, if he enters the track that Qian Yuping is good at. It's not easy to win this game. Fortunately, Li Xiaoqiang is also "well-informed", and he knows that there is such a way of playing, which seems to be very effective when dealing with "control flow". Li Xiaoqiang also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to practice.

In Li Shifo's career, there have been 2 "nemesis". The first is his "early nemesis" Noriki Ita. To be honest, it is actually a bit far-fetched to call Yitian Jiji "Li Shifo Buster". In total, they only played more than 10 games, among them. It also includes an early five-way move. Therefore, in the careers of the two people, Ida Kiki won a few more games. It is precisely because Li Shifo's record is so brilliant. There are not many players who can play against him more than 10 times and take advantage of him. Among them, Yida Kiki's record is very eye-catching. That's why he has the title of "Li Shifo's nemesis".

Li Shifo is another "nemesis", or his real "bitter hand". That should still be his junior chess player Cui Poison.

In all fairness, Cui Poison's chess power is not at the top level. Some people even think that Cui Poison's chess can only be said to be "very distinctive". But he still has a flaw in his Go technique. In his career, there have always been several obvious "bitter hands". That's telling.

Why can a chess player who is not at the top level become Li Shifo's bitter hand? This is the real sense of "chess style restraint"! Li Xiaoqiang thinks. Cui Poison's very unique "entanglement" chess style may be able to restrain Li Shifo's "control flow".

Let's use the simplest analogy, when Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo competed, both of them were very confident in their kung fu in the second half of the game. So after the layout stage was completed, they began to fight for officials. It is likely that from the beginning of 5 or 60 moves, the two began to compete with the big officials. Forming such a situation, Li Shifo's "control flow" is the easiest to play, and his record against Ma Xiaofei is also one-sided.

When Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo were playing chess, Cao Yanzi's chess was won by speed. He is very light and at the same time very sharp and flexible. But often about 100 hands, he will be "controlled" by Li Shifo. I can't improve the speed of chess, and I can't turn around flexibly. Therefore, he also has fewer wins and more losses against Li Shifo.

Only Cui Poison's chess, he usually tightly entangles his opponent at a very early stage. Wrap around each other like a poisonous snake. In the eyes of many people, his way of playing seems to be a bit "tendon", and when his "winding" does not achieve results, it is easy to lose a game of chess.

But it is this kind of "one tendon" method that is particularly easy to use when dealing with "control flow". Because it has been tightly wound, it is difficult for the opponent to "control" the situation. What Control Flow does best is comprehensive and accurate calculations. Because of "comprehensiveness", he can take into account many possibilities on the chessboard, so that he can implement "control", and because of "precision", he can distinguish between "size", "gain and loss" and so on. This will ensure that he will not have problems during the long process of "control".

But what if there is a particularly chaotic situation? What about a situation where the scene is "out of control"? "Control flow" is not easy to play. At 100 moves, do you want to use your "all-round" characteristics to control the situation? So I'm sorry, in the current situation, there is still a mess on the chessboard, and even the flow of the chess game is undecided. How do you control it? When you reach 150 moves, do you want to use your "precision" to control the situation? Then go ahead and I'm sorry. In the current situation, there are still several pieces on the board that are dead and alive. If you want to judge the size of the official, you must first solve the problem of the life and death of the big dragon, right? By this time. You'll also need to do life-and-death problems on the board. How do you go precisely?

Well, now that it's finally 200 moves, the situation on the board is relatively straightforward. There is no such thing as a big question of life or death. At this time, you can finally "control", right? But it's a pity that by this time, it's too late for you to "control" again, and the situation is already clear. You win when you should win, and you lose when you deserve. If you can see it, your opponent can see it too.

Cui Poison can become a real "Li Shifo Buster". It's because of his unique style of chess that works. It is entirely conceivable that a master who likes to "control" will be very uncomfortable when encountering this entangled style of chess. Because unintentionally. What you are best at often can't be played on the chessboard.

Li Xiaoqiang played today's game of chess, and that's what he actually thought. He is ready to use a very unique "poisonous snake flow" to deal with Qian Yuping's "control flow".

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang's idea is good. But can you use this method well? Li Xiaoqiang is actually not sure. To make good use of the "poisonous snake flow", the most important thing is actually the rhythm of chess. When Cui Poison became Li Shifo's bitter hand, it was not that no one wanted to do the same. But why can't everyone else learn well? This is because every professional player has their own rhythm of chess.

The appearance of "poisonous snake flow" is easy to learn, but the rhythm of "one tendon" cannot be learned. Most professional chess players often have a kind of "accept when you see a good thing". It was also "entangled" there before. When you go down to a certain stage, you think that you have made a profit, and you can accept it when you see it, so you switch to the rhythm you like. What he didn't know was. Just when he was about to "take it when he sees it", the chess game has entered the track of "control flow".

In the game room, Qian Yuping was aware of this problem very early, so he was taking frequent long exams. It's afternoon. Many of the players in the viewing room also noticed that something was wrong. Liu Dazhui joked with Ma Xiaofei again:

"Haha, Xiaoqiang's method today seems to be his original extremist method. I'm going to take a closer look today. Xiaoqiang uses this method, can he slaughter a big dragon again......"

After listening to Liu Dazhui's words, Ma Xiaofei's face darkened again. Indeed, the "poisonous snake flow" that Li Xiaoqiang uses today is very similar to the "extremist tactics he used in the past." When Li Xiaoqiang first debuted, because the gap between him and his opponent was too large, he often needed to play more extreme games in order to have a chance to win. As his strength grew, he rarely used the most extreme moves.

Li Xiaoqiang's most successful example is that in the semi-finals of the first "Tianyuan Competition", he successfully slaughtered Ma Xiaofei and a big dragon. Liu Dazhui talked about this topic again, obviously which pot is not opened.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a professional chess player to slaughter the dragon. It's not that the master's dragon won't die, but in many cases, because the master has a clear judgment, if he makes up for the dragon, his chess will also lose. Therefore, he simply ignored the life and death of his own big dragon and grabbed other big chess pieces first. Such a situation can only be called "gambling on the dragon", not "being slaughtered by the dragon".

But the situation in that game was different. Li Xiaoqiang was in the prologue stage, and he sharpened his knife and wanted to slay the dragon. His intentions at that time can be said to be known to everyone. During the game, of course Ma Xiaofei also knew. It's a pity that he was angered by Li Xiaoqiang at that time, if he abandoned his son early, it should be a situation where he won a big victory. But he was a little angry with the pride in his heart, knowing that Li Xiaoqiang wanted to slay the dragon. He still had to run away from the dragon. When a big dragon grows fatter and fatter, it's too late to give up in the end. That game of chess, of course, can only be said to be "slain". And it can't be said to be a "bet on the big dragon". This is also where Ma Xiaofei has no face. Today it was revisited by Liu Dazhui's old words.

In today's game, Li Xiaoqiang seems to have once again sacrificed this weird move. What happens on the chessboard? Everyone was watching with great interest. (To be continued......)
