Japan, Tokyo, Japan Chess Academy.

The second match of the semi-finals of the "Ying's Cup" continues. As in the first game, when the game went on around 3 p.m., the number of players in the viewing room gradually increased. Compared to the match the day before yesterday, more players came to the viewing room today. Looking up, in addition to Mr. Wu Qingyuan, who was sitting in the center, Masao Kato came, Masaki Takemiya came, and even Koji Kobayashi, who rarely appeared in the viewing room, also came. Coupled with Lin Haifeng and Zhao Zhixun, who appeared in the viewing room in the last game, the other "five supers" except for Dazhu Hero were all present. For a while, the entire viewing room was bustling with stars.

In Japan's "Six Super Leagues", there are 5 from the Kitani Gate, and it is rare for these popular superstars in the Japanese chess world to appear in the viewing room at the same time. The purpose of their coming here is probably more to cheer for their senior brother Otake Hero.

In the center of the viewing room, two games of chess are lined up. The number of onlookers watching the game of Nie Whirlwind VS Dazhu Hero was really a little more. After several disciples of Mugu's sect briefly studied the progress of the chess game, they all looked worried.

"Alas! This move ......" The first to express his opinion was Mr. Masaki Takemiya, who pointed to the move played in front of Hero Otake and said:

"Although this move is very thick, which is also in line with the style of senior brother turtle walking chess, but judging from the later progress, this move still seems a little slow, right? Now that Nie Jun is the first to make the move, the entire overall situation has been controlled by him. I think it's a bit difficult right now, right? ”

After a brief exchange of views, the others agreed with Mr. Takemiya's judgment, and everyone agreed that Otake Hero's current situation was slightly behind. Since they have reached a relatively consistent judgment, everyone will continue to disassemble the chess on the chessboard, study the follow-up moves, and see if they can come up with any good solutions for the big bamboo heroes.

Of course, these people are the top chess players of this era, but they all have very different styles. All of a sudden, various plans came out. Especially after Zhao Zhixun designed a deliberate and desperate method for the heroes of Dazhu. Others laughed. Everyone agreed. Although Zhao Zhixun's plan is a good way, at least it can lead the situation to chaos and complexity, but according to Mr. Otake's chess style, he will not think about this move.

"Let's take a look at the actual combat process behind them, although the situation is backward, but after all, there is not much behind, and it is too early to say who wins and who loses. I think it's still early, and the chessboard is big enough, and Senior Brother Otake has a place to slowly move around. ”

After Zhao Zhixun gave his own change diagram, everyone paused the in-depth study of this game of chess. Finally, when Kobayashi Koji said this. Everyone nodded frequently.

After studying the game of chess of Dazhu Hero, everyone turned back to look at Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess against Cao Yanzi. Unlike that game of chess, for the game of Li Xiaoqiang and Cao Yanzi, everyone's opinions are not so unanimous.

"In today's game, Cao Yanzi's style is still vividly played, his pace is fast, and he grabs the key points everywhere, and the chess game is playing until now, there should be no bad reason for black chess, right?"

"I don't think so. Although on the surface, black is taking the initiative everywhere and taking the lead everywhere. But if you look at the big picture, you can see that black doesn't have much of a real advantage. This is a very strange phenomenon. I think this is also where Li Xiaoqiang is great. From the sense of smell, in terms of sensitivity, it may be that Cao Yanzi is a step higher, but he has a good grasp of the rhythm. To grasp the timing, Li Xiaoqiang should do better. Li Xiaoqiang's Go has a very strange quality, and his understanding of chess is different from many people. ”

5 super-notch chess players in the viewing room. Now it is clearly divided into 2 lineups. Masao Kato, Koji Kobayashi and Zhao Zhixun thought it was Cao Yanzi's black chess advantage. Masaki Takemiya and Mr. Lin Haifeng think that white is easy to play.

"What do you think of the current situation, sir?"

In the case of disputes, everyone respectfully asked Mr. Wu Qingyuan's opinion.

"Since everyone has different judgments, it can only show one problem, which shows that the current situation is indeed difficult to distinguish between good and bad. To be honest, I can't tell who's good and who's bad right now. If I had to choose one, I would only say that maybe black would be more to my liking. ”

After listening to Mr. Wu's words, everyone looked at each other and smiled. Indeed, Mr. Wu's concept of Go, which he admires the most, is fast chess. Although in the fast move, it is inevitable to make your chess "thin taste". Make up for your own flaws in the fast operation, and strengthen your thin taste in the fleeting opportunity. That's the winning formula for this kind of play.

In today's game of chess, Cao Yanzi uses this kind of play. The so-called "soft wind and fast gun" is actually in the same vein as the "new layout theory" created by Mr. Wu back then, and it is no wonder that Mr. Wu likes to play black chess.

The key question now is that this kind of play always has a thin taste, can Li Xiaoqiang catch the flaws of black chess in the fleeting opportunity?

It was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the battle on the chessboard was becoming more and more intense, and 4 or 5 inactive dragons on both sides were entangled together. Obviously, the game seems to have reached a very important point of victory.

Today's chess game is very similar to the first game, the same time period, just when the research room is still hotly discussed, the latest chess game came in, when everyone saw the latest move, the whole research room collectively lost their voice, and everyone's discussion came to an abrupt end.

The only difference is that what everyone sees this time is a white child that Li Xiaoqiang just fell!

In the research room, reporter Zhang Da was asking Mr. Lin Haifeng:

"Mr. Lin, is Xiaoqiang a good move? How do I feel that this move is very ordinary, isn't this a very ordinary "point square"? And...... And how do I feel that this move is still a backhand......"

Mr. Lin Haifeng said to reporter Zhang Da with a smile:

"That's right, this move is really ordinary, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he will fall behind. But this is a really good move, a typical last-mid-to-first move. It's amazing, Xiaoqiang is still amazing! This move was really beyond my expectations, in such a fierce battle situation, Xiaoqiang actually played such a move, and he actually dared to fall behind a back hand. It's an unbeatable feeling! In my opinion, this is not only a good move, but also a good move. This move is not inferior to the wonderful move made by Cao Yanzi on the board......"

"Oh? Is it that exaggerated? ”

"Of course, I'm not exaggerating at all." Mr. 林海峰正色 says:

"Xiao Zhang. I've told you a long time ago that a good hand in Go doesn't have to be eye-catching. The criteria for judging a good move is actually very simple, as long as you play a move that can make the opponent in a dilemma, and make the opponent unable to resist, it is a really good move, even if the move seems particularly ordinary. For example, like Xiaoqiang's move, this is just an ordinary point square, the technique is very simple, and you may have to make a back move. The pace is slower. But it's a really good step. You see, with this move, white seems to have given birth to countless follow-up moves. He made the current black chess thin flavor to the fullest, and completely exposed all the weaknesses of the black chess shape. Predictably, when white began to pursue black's thinness. I believe that black will be in a dilemma. Now Mr. Cao, I'm sure he must feel overwhelmed......"

Korea Chess Academy, Seoul, South Korea.

While the semi-finals of the "Ying's Cup" are underway, there are also chess games passed here. There are quite a few Korean chess players who are also following this match.

When Li Xiaoqiang's good hand of "the middle of the first" passed here. Liu Changhe tasted the wonderful taste of this move, and he said to Li Shifo beside him:

"It's preemptive, it's wonderful! In such a complicated situation, he was able to make such a good move. That's amazing...... By the way, Stone Buddha, in this move, I seem to see a trace of your shadow. ”

Li Shifo looked at the chessboard in front of him, and he didn't speak for a long time. Long. Li Shifo sighed softly:

"Well, I didn't think of this either. When I was watching this game of chess just now, my idea was to play here......"

Li Shifo pointed to another place on the chessboard. He continued:

“…… When I was thinking about white just now, I really wanted to play in this place. If this is the case, White will at least be able to maintain the balance on the ground, and then slowly look for opportunities in the rest of the move. I think it would be a game of chess. ”

"Oh?"

"Now it seems that he is more powerful. Seeing his move, I have to admit that his choice is better, his choice is better than mine. What a brilliant move! …… But if you think about it, it's actually very normal for him to be able to play such a move, because that's his style......"

"What's his style?"

"Chang Hyuk, you see, this move looks like defense on the surface, but the real effect is actually attack. The ubiquitous attack method, the attack thought that goes deep into the bone marrow. This is his true chess style......"

It was about 6 o'clock in the afternoon. In another room, Otake pondered for a moment facing the board, then he raised his head and placed two pieces on top of the board.

"No more! Congratulations, Nie Jun......"

After hearing Dazhu Hero's words, Nie Whirlwind showed a childlike innocent smile. In this way, Nie Whirlwind once again broke into the final of the World Series. All in all, this is the third time he has reached the final of the World Series.

The so-called "nothing more than three", can Nie Whirlwind do this? This is a sentence that many people said to Nie Whirlwind after this game.

"By the way, what about chess? How is Xiaoqiang's game of chess now? ”

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Nie Whirlwind began to care about his opponent in the final. At this time, Mr. Ying, who was also very excited, smiled at him:

"That game is long over. An hour ago, Xiaoqiang defeated Cao Yanzi in the middle game. Therefore, it will be a few days before your final opponent will be ......"

In the semifinals of the 2nd "Ying's Cup", Li Xiaoqiang and Cao Yanzi temporarily tied 1-1.

Their tiebreaker is coming soon. (To be continued......)

PS: This move actually has a prototype, it should be a game between Xiao Li and Gu Dali. The kind of "last-in-first" that wins with one move is relatively rare in actual combat, and interested chess fans can take a look.
