The tiebreaker was played until half past two in the afternoon, and Li Xiaoqiang was still sitting motionless in his seat. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang's long exam has been more than half an hour, but looking at his appearance, it seems that he still has no intention of falling for a while.

Yes, Li Xiaoqiang is facing a difficult problem, and he is making a difficult choice. Li Xiaoqiang even believes that the correct choice of the next move will determine the trend of today's game of chess, and even determine the ownership of the final champion.

All of this is because of the chess move that Li Shifo just played.

It is difficult to define what kind of move this is, the comments of the research room are not completely unreasonable, the move that Li Shifo just played is indeed suspected of "slow", but this move has Li Shifo's strong personal style, and it is a move that embodies Li Shifo's core Go thoughts!

It must be admitted that before Li Shifo made a move, Li Xiaoqiang did not notice this move. However, Li Xiaoqiang soon knew how powerful this move was, so he now did not hesitate to spend a lot of time thinking about countermeasures.

What kind of chess did Li Shifo play?

Before Li Shifo played this move, the pattern on the entire chessboard was quite stable. Li Shifo is as calm as ever, and Li Xiaoqiang is also as active as ever, he uses his usual fast-paced play to patiently look for titles on the chessboard.

But at this time, Li Shifo's move surprised Li Xiaoqiang. In this game, Li Shifo, who was holding black, moved slowly, but the whole game was quite thick. The only slight weakness is the piece that spreads from the bottom of the board to the middle of the board.

Of course, it is not necessarily true to say that this piece is thin, but only relative to the rest of black. If compared with Li Xiaoqiang's white chess, this piece of chess is already quite thick. To paraphrase a common phrase in chess reviews: this piece of chess is full of elasticity, the eye position is quite rich, and there is no danger of life or death. The reason why it is said to be a little weak is only because this piece of chess is not yet fully live, and there is still a possibility of being scraped later.

Just when Li Xiaoqiang was calculating the thin taste here, a move with Li Shifo's strong personal style appeared on the chessboard, and he actually made up a hand in this place.

No chess to make up for Li Shifo!

Li Shifo made such a move, which attracted a lot of discussion in the research room, and at the same time made Li Xiaoqiang fall into the long exam, so that Li Xiaoqiang faced a very difficult choice.

It should be said that the opinion of the research laboratory is not wrong, and Li Shifo's move can indeed be called a "slow". This move is thick and thick, and the "taste" is also quite good. But the value of this move itself is not great: first of all, this move will fall to a back hand, and Li Xiaoqiang does not need to follow in this place at all. In addition to this, the move itself is less than the value of a 10-move move.

You must know that there are only more than 60 chess moves in the overall situation, which can only be regarded as just entering the middle stage, and there are more valuable chess on the board. Knowledgeable chess friends know that even if they enter the stage of big officials, the 10 goals of the back hand are not a big chess, let alone at this time. Therefore, it is completely true to say that Li Shifo's move is "slow".

But it was such a "slow" step, which put Li Xiaoqiang in a dilemma. The psychology of the player and the bystander is different, Li Xiaoqiang was still calculating how to impact the thin taste here just now, but at this time, he saw Li Shifo make such a move, so his feelings were completely different from others.

Li Xiaoqiang believes that even if this move is "slow", it is also extremely limited. If you add the other benefits of this move, then this move is definitely a good move!

If black is not here and has no pieces to make up for itself, white can scrape black into two eyes. 2 eyes are 2 eyes, and black is now 10 eyes. With a very common algorithm in Go, you can reach a certain level of value for each move without losing money. Hence another common phrase in chess criticism: "Black is a move that also has the value of a hand".

In addition, the most important thing is that the number of moves is not of much value, but this move changes the overall thickness of the chessboard and affects the trend behind this game, which is what Li Xiaoqiang focuses on.

To be honest, sometimes the criteria for judging the quality of a move are very simple, if you can make the opponent in a dilemma, and make the opponent feel difficult to deal with, then the move is basically called a good move.

In real history, Li Shifo's chess is often questioned by everyone, but he has won one victory after another in a voice of doubt. It should be said that some doubts still have some truth, but what about others? It can only be said that there is a gap between the level of many people and him, it should have been when you were vigilant that you were not vigilant, and you were not embarrassed when you should be embarrassed. It's no wonder that many people lose in a daze, and they don't know how they lost.

Of course, this will not happen to Li Xiaoqiang. Because Li Xiaoqiang is a master at the same level as Li Shifo, he will definitely be in a dilemma when he sees Li Shifo's real good chess, and at the same time he will be vigilant.

No matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way to solve it, in fact, not long after seeing Li Shifo fall into this move, Li Xiaoqiang has long been vigilant. For more than half an hour, he spent most of his time thinking about countermeasures.

In the end, Li Xiaoqiang thought of two ways to deal with it, and what he has to do now is to choose one of the two options.

The first option is easy to think of, and it is also the first way for Li Xiaoqiang to think of coping. The guiding ideology of this response method is four words: "-for-tat!" ”

Doesn't this move reflect your Li Shifo's personal style? Then I'll use my Li Xiaoqiang's style to deal with you. If you are slow, I will be fast, if you are heavy, I will be light, and if you are thick, I will quickly seize the ground...... Let's take a look at which style is better.

At the beginning, Li Xiaoqiang really wanted to play like this, but when he re-inspected the entire chessboard, when he once again accurately judged the current situation. Especially when he remembered the game with Li Shifo many years ago.

6 years ago, it was also the "Toyo Securities Cup", and it was also the five-way chess final, in which in the fourth game, Li Shifo's "modern version of the idle hand" still lingered in Li Xiaoqiang's mind.

Li Shifo's move today, although the form is different, but the idea of this move, the essence of this move, is exactly the same as today's move!

Li Xiaoqiang not only thought of that move, Li Xiaoqiang even thought of the Cao Li master-apprentice battle in South Korea, and remembered that Li Shifo used this method to beat Cao Yanzi countless times......

Li Xiaoqiang changed his mind, and at 2:40 p.m., Li Xiaoqiang made a move, and he took another method and another countermeasure......

During Li Xiaoqiang's long examination, due to the fame of the "Xiaoqiang long examination", and also due to the existence of masters such as Cao Yanzi and Liu Changhe, the research laboratory has almost unified its thinking, and no longer thinks that Li Shifo's move is "slow", but a good move that reflects Li Shifo's skills.

"The chess game is out, let's see what Li Xiaoqiang has come up with now...... Yes? How did white play this? White actually made up a hand himself! Hahaha, this is not like Li Xiaoqiang's chess. At this time, he didn't dare to insist on his personal style, it seems that Li Xiaoqiang is still powerful, and he actually penetrated the intention of black chess. ”

Cao Yanzi was saying "Li Xiaoqiang is amazing" on the surface, but everyone knew what he meant, and he clearly disagreed with Li Xiaoqiang's choice. Because when everyone saw Li Xiaoqiang's choice, and saw that Li Xiaoqiang actually chose to make up chess, everyone's hearts were very clear:

In today's tiebreaker, the fine chess pattern is inevitable! The contest of "Kung Fu Chess" is inevitable! The official victory is inevitable!

In other words, Li Shifo has used a wonderful move to put the chess game into the track that he is good at! What's more, this doesn't seem to be Li Xiaoqiang's active cooperation, he is a little unavoidable after the long examination. This is the reason why Cao Yanzi is elated.

Not only Cao Yanzi, but also some other Korean chess players were also elated, and many people also disagreed with Li Xiaoqiang's choice. Xu Bongsu Jiudan said with a smile:

"It's true that Li Xiaoqiang is a master, but this game of chess has been carried out so far, and I am now optimistic that Shi Buddha can win. In any case, white is not a good choice, is it? He was first three points weaker in momentum......"

It should be Seo Bong-so's words that represent the thoughts of many chess players. Playing chess is a thing that pays attention to momentum, especially when it is taboo to hesitate when playing chess. For example, like Li Xiaoqiang today, he was aggressive in the first half of the game, but as soon as he saw his opponent's good move, he seemed to immediately switch his style, which usually does not end well.

But in the midst of doubts, there are also people with different opinions, such as Liu Changhyuk, who is also the king of South Korea, who put forward different opinions:

"Don't underestimate Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang has never been so simple. When I first saw Li Xiaoqiang's choice, to be honest, I was a little surprised, how could Li Xiaoqiang, who has always been uncompromising, make such a weak choice? But if you think about it, I can only admire Li Xiaoqiang now. Is Li Xiaoqiang's choice weak? No! I just think this is a manifestation of Li Xiaoqiang's toughness. “

"How?"

"The reason why Li Xiaoqiang chose this way is to take the initiative to ......," Liu Changhe walked to the edge of a chessboard and explained while playing chess:

“…… According to the most normal assumption, according to Li Xiaoqiang's style, we should go here...... Cao Guoshou, you are most familiar with this situation, what do you think will happen in the future if it is like this? ”

Cao Yanzi inspected the changes in Liu Changhe's pendulum, and after thinking for a while, Lao Cao smiled bitterly:

"If you follow this, although Li Xiaoqiang's strength may not lose, it is certain that he will not be able to grasp the initiative. Because if the play is like this, although white seems to be more empty, but the overall situation is thin, and black is generally thick, then white will be restrained everywhere in the subsequent moves. ”

"Cao Guoshou is right, so what about the choice of white chess? On the surface, it seems to have entered the track that the stone Buddha is best at, which is also what everyone likes to see. But objectively analyze the overall situation. Li Xiaoqiang's move just now, while offsetting the strong play of black chess, also made the shortcomings of black chess "slow" come out suddenly. Therefore, at this point, the objective analysis of the situation should be that white has a slight advantage. Li Xiaoqiang's choice is not a choice made because of who the opponent is, he is a choice made by the objective situation on the chessboard. Such a Li Xiaoqiang, can he be considered weak? ”

Yoo Chang-hyuk's words silenced the Korean chess players at the scene. After a long time, Cao Yanzi sighed lightly:

"Chang Hyuk is right, we were really happy too soon. The current situation is indeed that white has a slight advantage. But fortunately, this game is Shi Buddha's black chess......"

Cao Yanzi's meaning is very clear, because this game of chess is Li Shifo's black chess, because this game of black chess only needs to be pasted with 5 and a half meshes, so black chess is eligible to "slow". Especially after the formation of the fine chess pattern, black has taken a lot of advantage in this regard.

Even so, it is still Li Xiaoqiang's white advantage!

The pattern of fine chess has been formed, and official battles are inevitable. Li Xiaoqiang, who responded to Li Shifo with the strongest attitude, what kind of result can this game of chess usher in?

Step by step, the game continues.

The decisive game of the 9th "Toyo Securities Cup" five-way chess final, the ultimate battle of the last "battle of the century" of this century, has now ushered in the final moment.

The two sides will soon be decided. (To be continued.) )
