Because of drinking some red wine, this made Li Xiaoqiang sleep well. He woke up on the second day feeling refreshed.

When he woke up, it was still early, Li Xiaoqiang first went for a walk around, and then had breakfast. When it was less than 9 o'clock in the morning, reporter Zhang Da ran over to find Li Xiaoqiang:

"Xiaoqiang, the South Korean side has been notified, and Li Shifo will play first today."

"Oh?"

Although he had been mentally prepared, after hearing the confirmed news brought by reporter Zhang Da, Li Xiaoqiang was still slightly stunned: "This Li Shifo, it seems that he is also quite willful." ”

"Capricious? Ha, it seems to be a little interesting......"

Reporter Zhang Da casually echoed Li Xiaoqiang's language proficiency while despising Li Xiaoqiang's language proficiency.

At this time, it is actually very understandable to say that Li Shifo is "willful". In the face of Li Xiaoqiang, who is currently gaining momentum, then from the perspective of the South Korean team, a more reasonable arrangement should be Cao Yanzi first, rather than Li Shifo, who just lost to Li Xiaoqiang a few days ago.

But from the perspective of a chess player, Li Xiaoqiang believes that it is inevitable that he will encounter Li Shifo.

"I think Li Shifo should have taken the initiative to invite Ying to play, right?"

"yes, how do you know?" Reporter Zhang Da expressed his surprise slightly: "At least that's what the South Korean side said just now, they said that today's game was Li Shifo's initiative to ask to play, and Cao Yanzi also agreed." also said that Li Shifo has already released his words, and today he wants to learn from you again. ”

"Hehe, sure enough, ......"

"What really?"

"I mean, it's still Li Shifo."

"So you already guessed that Li Shifo would go first?"

"Is this hard to guess......" Li Xiaoqiang looked at reporter Zhang Da's eyes: "You can empathize with me, if it was Li Shifo who won me a few days ago, if it was Li Shifo who defended us today." So do you think it's right for me or for Teacher Ma? ”

Reporter Zhang Da really thought about it for a long time, and then he showed a wry smile:

"I don't know who's the right fit, but one thing I'm sure of is if that happens. You're going to rush to play. Xiaoqiang, huh? ”

"That's right......" Li Xiaoqiang sighed softly, and Li Xiaoqiang at this moment seemed to be incarnated as a philosopher:

"There are some things that you have to deal with head-on. If he chooses to run away, then he is not qualified to be my opponent at all. ”

"Okay, okay......" Reporter Zhang Da couldn't stand Li Xiaoqiang's sourness: "...... You'd better prepare for the mourning of others. ”

"Hehe, how else can I prepare for this......" Li Xiaoqiang returned to his usual appearance: "...... Since he wants to learn. Then I'll let him study a good game. The most important thing for me right now is relaxation, not preparation. Got it? ”

Regarding Li Xiaoqiang's attitude, of course, reporter Zhang Da will not feel that there is anything wrong. Indeed, no matter from any point of view, there is no reason not to be optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang.

It's just that it backfired, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang still walked into the arena with confidence. At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the two sides of the game were about to enter the countdown, Li Xiaoqiang's face had become extremely ugly.

Today's listing explanation is still partnered by Ma Xiaofei and Xu Ying. But whether it's the atmosphere of the scene. The mood of the two commentators is completely different from yesterday.

"Mr. Ma, Xiaoqiang's chess today seems to be a bit ...... Somewhat...... Seems like it's already very difficult, right? What do you think is the reason for this? ”

Facing Xu Ying's question, Ma Xiaofei smiled bitterly: "I don't know why this is, I can only understand now that it may be because Xiaoqiang is too tired." As you know, during this period of time, Xiaoqiang fought continuously, and he played some very important high-intensity games, which can easily lead to fatigue of chess players. Xiaoqiang is so ineffective today. I think the main reason is probably this. ”

When Ma Xiaofei said this, it happened to be around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And the game went about the same as it was yesterday. The same white chess of Li Xiaoqiang is also less than 100 moves to enter the countdown. The only difference is that Li Xiaoqiang has established a clear advantage at this time yesterday. And what about today? His situation has deteriorated.

While the latest chess game has not yet been transmitted here, the two commentators continue to analyze the reasons why Li Xiaoqiang is lagging behind.

"Mr. Ma, what do you think is the problem with white chess? How can I unconsciously have the advantage of about 10 meshes on the board, and the thickness of the chess is not worse than that of white. Is this because black is playing particularly well? Or is Xiaoqiang playing something wrong? ”

For professional chess players, it is easy to judge the situation at any time. But when it comes to listing and explaining. It's actually relatively difficult to figure out the specific problem quickly. For example, in today's game, Xu Ying judged that the board is now about 10 meshes, and the thickness of the two sides is about the same. For a professional game, the gap is already very large. So how did such a gap come about? When a player analyzes it, he or she considers two situations, one is that the dominant side is playing particularly well. The other is that the inferior side has made a problem on its own.

Listening to Xu Ying's question, Ma Xiaofei tilted his head and looked at the big chessboard:

"Judging from the specific moves of black, I don't see anything special. In addition to the obvious loopholes, most of Black's moves are just normal. So I don't think this is a particularly good black move. So where exactly does the problem arise......"

When conducting a specific analysis, Ma Xiaofei first denied that Li Shifo was particularly good. Indeed, not many professional chess players will think that Li Shifo's "only 51% efficiency" style of chess is particularly beautiful, especially in the first half of the game, then this situation is even more obvious.

In real history, even when Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo were competing for world dominance, Ma Xiaofei had a famous evaluation of Li Shifo's chess: "His chess is very simple, and if you want to score points, his efficiency at most can only play 60 or 70 points per move." Only by combining these pieces can you feel his ......"

You must know that this is what Ma Xiaofei said when he knew Li Shifo best. But in this life, so far, Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo have only played one game of chess. This was a few years ago, and Ma Xiaofei won that game. Therefore, now Ma Xiaofei has no feeling for Li Shifo's chess, which is actually normal.

"Looking back now, I think it's likely that the problem with white is with these two moves......"

After all, Ma Xiaofei is a top master, and when he looks back and re-examines the chess game, he soon finds the crux of the problem. He pointed out Li Xiaoqiang's two-step problem hand. One step occurs at the 40th step of the global market, and the other step occurs at the 70th step of the world.

"Oh? It turns out that there is a problem with this move......" Xu Ying said the chess hand in front of Ma Xiaofei: "...... However, in the previous explanation, we also praised Xiaoqiang's move, thinking that this move is very thoughtful and fully demonstrates Xiaoqiang's characteristics. How? Mr. Ma, what do you find wrong with this move? ”

As if he slapped himself in the face, Ma Xiaofei smiled a little embarrassedly, but he still patiently explained his new discovery: "Yes, when I first saw Xiaoqiang play this move, I didn't have time to make a calculation. My first impression was that it was a good move. Maybe it's out of trust in Xiaoqiang, but at a rough glance, this move seems to fully demonstrate one of Xiaoqiang's characteristics, and in many of his games, he often exerts force in such unexpected places, which makes people unguardable......"

"And now?"

"So looking back now, especially in combination with the next move, I think Xiaoqiang may have a little problem in the choice of battle. In particular, there was a bit of a contradiction in the way the game was conceived......"

Conflicting ideas in the game can be a big problem in the professional game. If that's the case. Then Li Xiaoqiang's backwardness is also very understandable. Ma Xiaofei continued to explain in detail:

"Everyone pay attention to Xiaoqiang's previous move, regardless of whether this move is successful or not, but Xiaoqiang's intention can still be seen obviously, he just wanted to launch an offensive at that time. But after more than 10 rounds, let's take a look at the next move, and everyone will taste it. Is this move clearly defensive? I can't figure out why Qiang did this, maybe he found something in the game. However, this kind of inconsistency in thinking is a big taboo for anyone. This should be the reason for the backwardness of the current overall situation. ”

"That'...... So why is this happening? ”

Why is this happening? At this time, Ma Xiaofei could only smile bitterly. He felt that Xu Ying's question was a bit silly to ask. There was a problem in the game, and who knows why? Not to mention that it is impossible for the bystander to know, even the player himself may not be clear. Maybe it's because of the poor form. Perhaps due to excessive fatigue, or even a sudden nervousness of the player, his mind suddenly short-circuited at some point. Even this possibility is not out of the question.

However, at this time, Ma Xiaofei still gave what he thought was the most likely situation:

"I think it's most likely that Xiaoqiang has a problem with the allocation of time. When he played the previous move, he didn't fully calculate and hurriedly made a move. ”

"This ......"

It should be said that Ma Xiaofei's guess also has some truth, today's game is a rapid chess game after all. Although this kind of game also has a reserve time of 1 hour per side, it is not comparable to 3 hours of slow chess. In particular, this kind of one-hour game per side is almost rare in China. So Li Xiaoqiang has a little problem with the allocation of time today, and this possibility is not impossible.

Of course, no one knows what the real situation is at the moment.

"That'...... Let's continue to watch chess, do you think Xiaoqiang still has hope today? ”

Regarding what has happened, Xu Ying decided not to continue to entangle. At this time, the latest game came in. Xu Ying asked a question that everyone is most concerned about, does Li Xiaoqiang still have a chance in this game of chess?

"It's difficult! Although I don't want to say it, I think Xiaoqiang is now very difficult. ”

Ma Xiaofei told the truth honestly, and then he raised the chess game in his hand:

"I think the only good news for Xiaoqiang is that both sides have entered the countdown. And now there is still a little distance from the end of the game. Now let's see if Xiaoqiang can seize the opportunity in the countdown......"

In Ma Xiaofei's view, Li Xiaoqiang's current backwardness is because of rapid chess, and his hope of winning should also be pinned on rapid chess.

Can anything else happen in this game? Step by step, the game continues. (To be continued.) )
