Li Xiaoqiang rarely got up early in the morning. After being reborn, Li Xiaoqiang has changed from a night owl to a good student who goes to bed early and wakes up early. But there are really not many times when I slept so soundly and comfortably like last night. First, I was really tired yesterday, and this kind of "kung fu chess" competition consumed a lot of Li Xiaoqiang's physical strength and energy. Second, the happy mood after winning chess is indeed a very good sleeping pill.

Probably because of the high quality of sleep, Li Xiaoqiang woke up about half an hour earlier than usual. Li Xiaoqiang did not alarm the others, got up quietly alone, and walked around the station. While walking, his thoughts naturally focused on this competition.

Like Imamura Wenming, Li Xiaoqiang also thinks that he has a certain understanding of the strength of his opponent.

"Well, his skills are a little deeper than mine."

This is Li Xiaoqiang's most profound experience at present, but he has not gained or lost because of this. On the contrary, Li Xiaoqiang is full of confidence for today's second game. This confidence is not blind, and there is a good reason for our Li Xiaoqiang's heart.

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang also thinks that the opponent's skill is higher than himself, but to determine the outcome of a game, skill is a very important factor, but it is certainly not a decisive factor. Otherwise, Go wouldn't be so interesting. For example, in yesterday's game, I "had a flash of inspiration" and found a hidden trick, and then used the opponent's psychology of "winning chess without making trouble" to force the opponent to back down. After the end, it was finally reversed with a little luck.

Originally, he was one and a half eyes short, and the opponent's retreat allowed him to earn a glance, and he earned another glance with his magic hand and luck. With this inconspicuous two-eyed chess, it is enough to subvert the Imamura civilization and rely on his own profound skills, and he has accumulated the advantage of most of the chess games with hard work. How, is Go not very fun, is it not cruel.

The second source of Li Xiaoqiang's confidence is that in today's second game of chess, he is the first to hold black. Li Xiaoqiang played the chess of 7 and a half eyes and 6 and a half eyes in the later life, and now he is 5 and a half eyes. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang will not be stupid to think that he has taken advantage of himself just because of this, but it is certain that he has a little advantage psychologically.

What's more, Li Xiaoqiang believes that it is easier to realize his ideas first. Be more proactive at the beginning. What are Li Xiaoqiang's advantages? Of course, it's the Go information that comes from later generations. Compared with Imamura civilization, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that his horizons are broader and his "routines" are richer. There are so many Go masters in later generations who have summed up that their judgments on some situations should be closer to the truth than Imamura.

With such a judgment, Li Xiaoqiang is full of confidence in himself. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang will not be blindly proud and complacent, thinking that he will win today. It should be said that our Li Xiaoqiang is still very sober, and he still has a hard battle today. But I think I can play better today than I did yesterday, that's for sure.

While Li Xiaoqiang was walking, he slightly anticipated a few opening routines in his heart, so he went to have breakfast, and after breakfast, he had to re-enter the arena.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang did not deliberately prepare what routine he had to use today. Any routine on Go requires the cooperation of both parties, which Li Xiaoqiang knows very well. If you are too prepared, you will not need it at that time, but your emotions will fluctuate. It's even worse. What's more, I won yesterday, and "the winner doesn't need to change", doesn't it?

The game time is coming soon, Li Xiaoqiang stepped on the field with confidence, and there were 5 minutes before the start of the game, Li Xiaoqiang sat in his position. Silently adjust your emotions and get yourself into the game.

The Chinese personnel who accompanied Li Xiaoqiang to this arena were still the same as yesterday. It can be said that except for those who are going to play, everyone who can come over has come. The Japanese personnel are also similar to yesterday, amateur other three days king, Fujisawa Hideyuki and Takemiya Masaki, plus the chief observer reporter. Probably because after this set, it is not certain whether there is a third set. The Nippon Chess Academy's Rokudan, who was in charge of arranging the game, also came over.

After the two sides met, there was another round of greetings. However, no one has touched on the topic of predicting the outcome of today's game. First, because there are reporters here, it is not good to talk nonsense about such topics before the game. The second is that all of you here are Go experts, and they all know the basic situation of this game of chess, and there is nothing to say.

Interestingly, the hero of Otake finally made an appearance. He also had a game of his own today, and he went to the research room here before his game. After first playing tricks with the Chinese personnel, he also deliberately made a few jokes with Fujisawa Hideyuki. It should be said that it is the best time for Dazhu to find an opportunity like today to resolve a little embarrassment.

He and Hideyuki Fujisawa quarreled in the newspaper. After all, it's not a big contradiction, it's more of a matter of face. Fujisawa Hideyuki is an elder after all, and it is also appropriate for Otake Hero to take the initiative to come. Of course, Fujisawa Hideyuki also knows these things, and he is actually polite to Otake. disappointed the reporters who expected them to "spark a little". Otake didn't stay here long because he had a competition. After a few polite words, he left, and at this time, Imamura Wenming also walked into the game room.

Imamura Wenming stepped on the point and walked into the game room on time. Imamura seems to have been completely unaffected by yesterday's reversal of chess, and seems to be in a good mood. After greeting the referee and other staff, he was also polite to Li Xiaoqiang, and apologized for making Li Xiaoqiang "wait" for a long time, which made Li Xiaoqiang inexplicable.

There is no need to guess today, Li Xiaoqiang is also more familiar with some pre-game procedures. So the game started quickly. Li Xiaoqiang settled down, and soon dropped the first piece in the "star" position in the upper right corner of the chessboard. The second game of the trilogy began in a situation that seemed to be normal.

This game starts at 10 a.m. Japan time and ends two hours in the morning. There is an hour break in between for lunch and rest, with the game continuing at 1 p.m. It is said that such a game has a lot of time, and the winner is usually decided in the afternoon. But not long after the start of the game, Li Xiaoqiang found that today was a little abnormal. To be precise, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that today's opponent is a bit weird.

This strange feeling cannot be described clearly. In short, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that today's opponent has two strange points, the first is that Imamura Wenming's style of chess today has changed greatly. If yesterday's Imamura played chess like a dignified and well-behaved lady, then today she has become a passionate and unrestrained woman. Cards are not played according to the rules everywhere.

Li Xiaoqiang was not like this according to the initial advance, he thought that after Imamura lost yesterday, he should be more cautious today and should use what he is good at. For example, using your deeper skills to overwhelm your opponent is both safe and reliable. However, thinking that he lost yesterday, Li Xiaoqiang thinks it is understandable. "If you are poor, you will think about change", and it is understandable to change the way you play after losing.

"Is that useful?"

Li Xiaoqiang secretly sneered in his heart. Our Li Xiaoqiang is also an old bird who has been in the chess world for decades. Although most of them are mixed with amateur chess, amateur chess players are more diverse. From "Lianzhong" to "Yicheng" before, I have never seen any kind of chess. Don't talk about "Yangchun Flow", even more bizarre openings like "Perverted Chinese Flow" and "Tianyuan Triple Jump" have also been seen.

"Yang Chun Liu" refers to an unusual opening. On the Internet, there is a domestic professional stalwart chess player who likes to use it very much. This eclectic opening, while not necessarily good, is eye-catching and popular among chess fans. As for the latter two, since they can be named "perverted", they cannot be explained by ordinary chess theory.

"Whether it's a beautiful girl or a bold girl, I have a lot of experience in dealing with it. You and I are really a child. ”

Li Xiaoqiang restrained his spirit and began to deal with it carefully.

There is another place where Li Xiaoqiang feels "strange", that is, he feels that the opponent's time is strange. His "weird" is not the ordinary "fast" of Luo Shen Pig. This is where Li Xiaoqiang thinks he should take some time to think about it and make a choice carefully. Imamura didn't think twice at all. And at the moment when Li Xiaoqiang thought that he should take it for granted "only this hand", Imamura didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking there. I think that after a long time, the son still falls in the place of "only this hand".

"If something is abnormal, it will be a demon"

Our Li Xiaoqiang's vigilance is leveraged. Li Xiaoqiang is even more step-by-step, not taking a step beyond the thunder pool, and dealing carefully with Imamura.

In this way, the second game began under the condition that Li Xiaoqiang thought of "changing the pitch".
