"Mr. Ma, I don't think you should patronize yourself to watch the chess games, let's hurry up and play chess on the big chessboard, now everyone wants to know what happened on the chessboard......

Of course, Xu Ying saw the smile on the corner of Ma Xiaofei's mouth, but as a professional chess player, she didn't think that Ma Xiaofei had seen Li Xiaoqiang's victory or anything on the chess game. Looking at the chess game is different from looking at the chessboard, if a game of chess is placed on the regular chessboard, then at Ma Xiaofei's level, he can easily judge the situation on the chessboard in a minute or two. But looking at the chess game is different, the chess game is densely packed with Arabic numerals, and it is basically impossible to see the situation clearly in a minute or two, even if he is Ma Xiaofei.

Xu Ying guessed that Ma Xiaofei was at most checking the "hand order" just now, which means that he had been looking for the next hand. He should have discovered something interesting in the process to smile like this. So now Xu Ying is as curious as everyone else, and she also wants to know what happened in this game.

Ma Xiaofei was awakened by Xu Ying's words, and he raised his head:

"Okay, now let's move on to the actual combat process......"

“…… Today's game was very interesting, and both players made a lot of surprises, which made me look for a long time when I was looking for chess. As we just mentioned, the pattern in front of this game is that black is the main attack, and white is defensive, but after only 20 moves, black's offensive seems to have been disintegrated, so let's take a look at how Xiaoqiang did this......"

Ma Xiaofei gushed out what he thought was "interesting" in the chess hall. In the research room on the other side of the hotel, many professional chess players are also closely following the progress of the chess game. Since this is a three-country tournament, the players who haunt the laboratory are naturally from three different countries. These include South Korea's Cao Li apprentice and the Japanese coach Mr. Masaki Takemiya.

After a period of silence for Mr. Masaki Takemiya, he had just won the "celebrity" from Kobayashi Mitsushi and returned to the ranks of the "Big Triple Crown". in Japan. The "Big Triple Crown" player is a status symbol. At the same time, he once achieved 4 consecutive championships in the "Asian Cup" rapid chess tournament, and his rapid chess skills were very good. Therefore, this time he was entrusted with the important task of coach by the Japanese side.

Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the game went on for almost 2 hours. Under normal circumstances, at this time, both sides of the game should be about to enter the countdown, and there are less than 80 moves on the board.

Masaki Takemiya watched the latest chess game progress, and he smiled wryly at the Yamada reporter of the "Chess Road" magazine who accompanied him this time:

"It seems that it has been carefully prepared for so long. Brother Kato's strategy still hasn't worked. Although it is obvious that Li Xiaoqiang did not make any special preparations for this game. But Black's attack was easily defused by him. Alas, Senior Brother Kato is in trouble......"

Reporter Yamada was silent: "What's the problem?" ”

"This move ......" Masaki Takemiya pointed to the move made in front of Li Xiaoqiang: "The problem is in this move, don't look at this move, it looks inconspicuous, but it makes the black move extremely uncomfortable." This is the ability to capture the fighter, and this move fully demonstrates the characteristics of the board wizard. Now it seems that black probably ignored this move, and as a result, he could no longer organize an effective offensive later. ”

How did Li Xiaoqiang defuse the black offensive? Actually, it's not complicated. Offensive and defensive battles in Go are sometimes the same as fighting. The so-called "soft cannot be kept." Just not lasting" is also.

As an attacking or defending side, even if you are caught off guard, you must not be weak when playing chess. Once you've established yourself, you have to try to find opportunities to counter-attack. If you're all about defending, you're likely to be in the right hands. When you are timid when you play chess, when you only pay attention to your own safety when you play chess, then it is likely that at this time, all the advantages have been taken by the opponent. This is the truth of "soft and unguardable" in Go.

Obviously. The current Li Xiaoqiang will not make such a mistake. Not only will he not, but it can even be said that this aspect is exactly Li Xiaoqiang's strength. Why does Ma Xiaofei think that Li Xiaoqiang's defense is the best? To put it bluntly, he always doesn't forget to counterattack when he defends. Li Xiaoqiang always thinks about counterattacking when he plays chess, coupled with his ability to capture fighters that is recognized as the best in the world, which has created the image of a "defensive master" in Ma Xiaofei's mind.

"I'm really curious, why is Xiaoqiang so powerful, how did he do it?"

In the hanging plate explanation hall, when Ma Xiaofei and Xu Ying finished explaining the offensive and defensive battles that took place on the chessboard. When they saw that Li Xiaoqiang easily defused Mr. Kato's offensive, Xu Ying let out such a sigh.

"Basics! Xiaoqiang has paid attention to basic skills since he was a child. After watching today's game of chess, you should have such feelings, right? What do you say about "capturing fighters" and what do you say about "chessboard wizards", in fact, what Xiaoqiang really showed us is his solid basic skills. ”

Xu Ying was thinking about what Ma Xiaofei said. The chess fans at the bottom are also thinking about what Ma Xiaofei said. Indeed, due to the busy schedule during this time, Li Xiaoqiang did not make special preparations for this match. Since this is rapid chess, Li Xiaoqiang is even more unable to elaborate on it. Most of the moves he made today were unpretentious. But this is such Li Xiaoqiang, who can still let people see his strength and still feel his strength.

All of this is due to his solid basic skills.

At around 3:30 p.m., the tournament took place with more than 100 hands. At this time, the offensive and defensive battle led by black has ended. The situation on the chessboard seems to have entered a different position.

"Mr. Ma, it seems that the current offensive of black chess is unsustainable, and now it should be regarded as entering the official stage, right? What do you think of the current situation? Or let's judge."

Although Ma Xiaofei knows very well that Xu Ying's words are completely for the sake of chess fans. But after hearing this, Ma Xiaofei still smiled:

"I don't need to look at it. You know, the so-called rigidity does not last. Now that black is no longer able to attack, the problem is serious. In fact, from the moment when Xiao Qiang strengthened the offensive of solving black chess, to be precise, from the moment Xiao Qiang played that good move to counterattack, the overall situation was undoubtedly white. ”

Of course, Xu Ying can understand Ma Xiaofei's words, and even amateur chess fans with a certain amount of chess ability can understand it. In Go, most things have two sides. For example, if you want to attack, then it's hard for you to juggle real space. When you miss an attack, it often means that your real space is behind.

This is the "just does not last" in Go!

For example, in today's game of chess, when the overall game reached about 100 moves, Mr. Kato's real space was already behind. His situation is already very difficult.

At 4 p.m., the game had been going on for 3 hours. Although Mr. Kato is still resisting stubbornly, he has to hold on to almost every move until the last second. As a result, more than 160 moves have been played globally. But by this time, even Zhao Qinqin, a chess blind, already knew that Li Xiaoqiang's victory was only a matter of time.

In the listing explanation hall, Li Xiaoqiang's brother Li Xiaogang and several of his chess fans were waiting for the news of Li Xiaoqiang's victory. However, Zhao Qinqin, under the leadership of Yukari Umezawa, shuttled back and forth between the research room and the chess hall.

Zhao Qinqin was teasing Yukari Umezawa: "Yukari, you know that Xiaopang is about to win, why do you have to pretend to have a stiff face?" Come, laugh one, laugh one......"

Yukari Umezawa had no choice but to throw Zhao Qinqin a roll of the eyes, and walked to a no-man's corner and pinched her fiercely.

"Oh, what are you doing...... Haha you finally laughed, so you were going to hide in this place and laugh......"

In the research room, South Korea's Cao Li master and apprentice had a serious expression. They have now stopped studying the chess game. Cao Yanzi glanced at his beloved apprentice, and he suddenly said to Li Shifo:

"Shi Buddha, I'll watch tomorrow's game, let's go first."

At this time, Li Shifo, he has not yet become the famous "patron saint of Nongshim". He has not yet carved his immobile and indifferent posture again and again in the one-on-one Three Kingdoms Ring Tournament. In more cases, the current Li Shifo is still under the care of Cao Yanzi.

Only by understanding this can we see Cao Yanzi's love for Li Shifo. Because in the current international arena, everyone is still more accustomed to Cao Yanzi as the soul of Korean Go.

Of course, Li Shifo understood what Cao Yanzi meant. He knew that Cao Yanzi rushed to play, not because he wanted to put on the pressure of the main general, but because he was worried that he would lose to Li Xiaoqiang again.

At this time, the pressure of losing to Li Xiaoqiang is greater than the pressure of being the main general!

Li Shifo raised his head, his face was still unwavering, but his body also flowed with the hottest blood.

"Master, I'll go first."

Cao Yanzi looked at his apprentice quietly for half a minute. Cao Yanzi's answer is also very simple, as simple as only one word:

"Good!"

4:20 p.m. The set was finally over. In the game room, when Li Xiaoqiang dropped the 180th move of the game, Mr. Kato Masao finally couldn't hold on. He shook his head with a wry smile, he put the two pieces on the board, and he chose to throw in the middle game.

After the match, although Li Xiaoqiang has reached a 4-game winning streak against Mr. Masao Kato, he is not as easy as he imagined. Because Li Xiaoqiang knows that on the stage of the Three Kingdoms Tournament, the main opponent is never a Japanese chess player.

"Xiaoqiang, what are you thinking?"

"Cao Li Iron Curtain."

Li Xiaoqiang almost blurted out.

When he found out that he had leaked his mouth, he could only choose to flee in a panic. Leaving Zhang Da reporter alone in the back, inexplicable.

"Cao Li Iron Curtain? What does it mean......" (To be continued.) )
