"Xiaoqiang was stabbed?"

Reporter Zhang Da's first reaction when he heard this was whether there was a mistake in today's chess game, and he remembered the situation of the two sides holding black and white. Li Xiaoqiang was stabbed? Li Xiaoqiang played chess and actually hit the flying knife! What's going on? For a long time, hasn't Li Xiaoqiang always been the only one who uses flying knives to pit others? The dignified "chessboard wizard", Li Xiaoqiang, who has been famous for his "newbie type" since his debut, actually hit someone else's flying knife, which was obviously beyond the expectations of reporter Zhang Da.

After confirmation, of course, the notator did not make a mistake, and today's game of chess was the same as the previous two games, and Li Xiaoqiang guessed white chess for the third time. When this question was confirmed, Zhang Da's reporter's second reaction was: What kind of flying knife can make Li Xiaoqiang hit?

After watching the actual battle, reporter Zhang Da's reaction became even more intense:

"What! , the Great Avalanche! You said that Xiaoqiang actually hit the big avalanche...... So Xiao Chang, tell me which move Lao Cao is a flying knife? ”

"This step, this inconspicuous and seemingly casual exchange, is Cao Yanzi's flying knife. Strictly speaking, it may seem a bit inappropriate to call this move a throwing knife, but in today's game, this move does have the effect of throwing a knife......"

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the game between Li Xiaoqiang and Cao Yanzi had played more than 70 moves. This speed is fast even in a one-hour rapid chess match for each side. The two sides played so quickly, of course, not because the two players were not cautious enough. It's just because today the two of them practiced a "big avalanche".

There are a lot of "official works" in the large-scale formula, and it doesn't take time to get these "official works", so the process is naturally fast.

Can't blame reporter Zhang Da for reacting violently, if Cao Yanzi chose an obscure way to play, then Li Xiaoqiang was forgivable, after all, Go is too complicated, and no one can know all the changes. But it is said that Li Xiaoqiang was stabbed in the "big avalanche......

Li Xiaoqiang is a recognized expert on the "big avalanche". So far, there have been more than 5 new changes in the big avalanche "pioneered" by Li Xiaoqiang, and these new changes have become a new formula. Now Li Xiaoqiang actually hit someone else's knife in the "big avalanche", which made reporter Zhang Da unable to figure it out no matter what.

"It would be nice if it was a rare change...... Chang Rensheng sighed, "...... If it's an unfamiliar change, it's easier to be alert during the game. According to the level of the boss, even if he encounters changes that he is not familiar with, it is not so easy for Lao Cao to let him be knifed. But this is a big avalanche, and it is recognized as the field that the boss is good at...... Therefore, I have to say that Lao Cao's strategy is indeed very clever, and he is obviously prepared for this game of chess. ”

So what kind of flying knife is Li Xiaoqiang?

The "throwing knife" in Go can generally be divided into two types. Beginner throwing knives generally have a bit of a "deceptive" nature. In the case of a wrong response, the destructive power of this throwing knife is quite huge, probably because it is just one hand, and the whole game of chess will be explained immediately.

The case of the other throwing knife is a bit more complicated, and it may not refer to a specific move, but a series of combinations. Such a kind of flying knife often requires the cooperation of the global sub-force, and requires some special sub-force configuration, and then the "flying knife" can be established.

Obviously. According to Li Xiaoqiang's current level, it is not easy to make him a more junior flying knife. What he hit today was a high-grade flying knife sent out by Cao Yanzi.

may be precisely because he feels that he is too familiar with the "big avalanche", Li Xiaoqiang never thought that he would be stabbed in this formula. As a result, Cao Yanzi's step looked like a normal exchange, Li Xiaoqiang followed casually, and then Cao Yanzi made a new change in the "big avalanche", he sacrificed a flying knife! And then...... Then Li Xiaoqiang was a little dumbfounded.

But it's okay. Although Li Xiaoqiang is a "high-level flying knife", one difference between a "high-level flying knife" and a "junior flying knife" is that the destructive power is not so huge. So far, at least, Mr. Li's situation hasn't collapsed right away. So how big was the loss after he was stabbed? This is the most important concern of everyone in the laboratory at this time of the chess game.

Because it was a new change, Chang Rensheng and others worked together for a long time to come to a preliminary conclusion.

"After this change, the boss probably lost almost a hand, don't you think so?"

"A hand may not be enough, but a half-hand is certainly more than ......"

Reporter Zhang Da listened to Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu discussing their gossip. Hearing their preliminary conclusion, Li Xiaoqiang's loss was between a "half-hand" and a "one-hand". Reporter Zhang Da's heart sank.

How much is the value of a "one-hand" in Go? The simplest judgment can be regarded as a "one-hand move".

Yesterday, Li Xiaoqiang's soldiers won Liu Changhe by 3 and a half eyes without blood, which caused everyone to praise each other. How much is 3 and a half meshes worth? It's just a half-hand. But now, Li Xiaoqiang's losses have exceeded this number in the early days of the game......

"I can't judge clearly, and the gains and losses here are really not judged. They said, should we ask them for their opinions? ”

"Yes, yes, you should ask them what they think of this change. Judging from the current situation, Lao Cao obviously came prepared, this flying knife was carefully prepared, and it could not be the product of his whims when he was actually fighting. Maybe the Korean Go community has been studying this change for a long time, but it may not be ......"

When encountering a new change, almost all professional chess players have the habit of breaking the casserole and asking the question. Chang Ren Sheng, they are naturally no exception. Seeing that everyone was still arguing, Zhou Dayang put forward a suggestion, and the "they" he was referring to were naturally Li Shifo, Liu Changhyuk and others of the South Korean team. As a result, today's research lineup in the lab is no longer as distinct as it was yesterday. For the first time, Chinese and South Korean players converged to study today's match.

After Chang Rensheng and others came to communicate with the Korean chess players, there was nothing new in judging the gains and losses of this change. Li Shifo and Liu Changhe also believe that after this change is completed, Li Xiaoqiang's loss will be between "half-hand chess" and "one-hand chess". However, in the exchange, Chang Rensheng and the others got more information, and this information made Chang Rensheng and the others feel more shocked.

Knowing that this flying knife was suggested by Li Shifo to Cao Yanzi, and Li Shifo thought that it was very likely that Li Xiaoqiang was stabbed, Zhang Da reporter couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask Li Jiuduan, why do you think so?"

"As you all know, Li Xiaoqiang and I are teammates in the Chinese league, and we have had a lot of exchanges in normal times. One of the problems I found in the communication was that I didn't think he was familiar with the big avalanche formula, so I thought he had a good chance of being hit when he encountered this new change. ”

Li Xiaoqiang is not familiar with the changes in the big avalanche? Not familiar with how many new formulas he can create? I have to say that Li Shifo's answer stunned everyone.

"No, maybe I'm wrong, I can't say he's unfamiliar with the big avalanche, but you don't notice a phenomenon, he almost never takes the initiative to play the big avalanche, and throughout his career, I haven't even found a single game of him taking the initiative to play the big avalanche! That's why I think so. ”

"Yes, yes, I only remembered when I heard you say this, as if Xiaoqiang himself had said it. But you're ......"

After listening to Li Shifo's words, whether it was reporter Zhang Da or Chang Rensheng and others, they all looked at Li Shifo differently.

Li Xiaoqiang is known as the "big avalanche expert", and in his career for so many years, of course, there have been many "big avalanches". But as Li Shifo said, Li Xiaoqiang really rarely took the initiative to go to the "big avalanche".

The reason why Li Xiaoqiang did not take the initiative to go to the "big avalanche" was because he didn't like to play large-scale formulas. The second reason is that the starting style of the "Great Avalanche" is a layman. Li Xiaoqiang thinks that the step of "squeezing" is really unbearable. This is also the reason why he never took the initiative to provoke a big avalanche.

From this point of view, Li Shifo is still justified in saying that Li Xiaoqiang is "unfamiliar" with the big avalanche. Because of his previous games, he just wanted to deal with the "big avalanche", and he took the initiative to provoke the big avalanche changes, because he played very little, and he was naturally not very familiar with some rare variations.

Li Xiaoqiang once told reporter Zhang Da about this matter, and he also told Chang Rensheng about it. But why is it that only Li Shifo notices this problem and is able to use it?

"This is probably what everyone usually says: the person who knows you best must be your real opponent."

Chang Rensheng looked at Li Shifo with a complicated expression:

"It seems that the one who knows the boss the most is the Li Shifo in front of him, judging from today's matter, am I qualified to be called their opponent now......

Chang Rensheng didn't sigh for long, and he didn't have time to sigh. Because today's game continues. Although Li Xiaoqiang was hit at the beginning, the whole situation did not collapse, and everyone had to help Li Xiaoqiang find a way to reverse.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the chess game was played less than 100 moves, and it can be seen that after Li Xiaoqiang found that he was hit by the knife, his speed was obvious.

What the hell will he do in this game?

"Generally speaking, when the situation is already clearly unfavorable, we must pay attention to two ......"

In the later chess game research, Luo Shenzhu became the keynote speaker. In the Chinese Go "Eight Horses", Luo Shenzhu is recognized as the best at reversal except for Li Xiaoqiang.

“…… The first point is that we must pay attention to life and death, in all reversal dramas, the issue of life and death must be the core of all problems, and it is the basis of all mid-game battles. Because only if you don't let your opponent survive easily, the whole situation can be chaotic. And only when the situation is chaotic can there be a chance of reversal......"

“…… The second issue to pay attention to is, of course, robbery. I don't think I need to say much about this, because in almost all the reversal dramas, you will definitely see the figure of robbery......"

“…… Judging from the current process, the boss should follow this line of thought to play chess. Regardless of whether he can succeed or not. But if we put aside the outcome or defeat, I believe that today's game will be very exciting, so let's look forward to a good show......"

The game continues step by step.

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang buried his head in contemplation, and he began to look for a difficult way to reverse. (To be continued.) )
