"In the Sino-Japanese celebrity competition, China's "celebrities" won for the first time! ”

"Ma Xiaofei finally pierced that layer of window paper! In the just-concluded Sino-Japanese celebrity match, he defeated Kobayashi Koji with a score of 2-1......"

Li Xiaoqiang has just won the national individual championship with an undefeated record. If this is left on hold, this news can at least make the headlines of the sports pages of major media. But it's a pity that in another arena, there seems to be another big news. In this way, Li Xiaoqiang's light was once again overshadowed.

Ma Xiaofei and Kobayashi Koji, they are the title kings of China and Japan respectively. According to the traditional habits of the Go world, they are the "first people" in Go in their respective countries. But here's a strange fact: so far, they haven't had good results in the World Series. Not to mention winning the championship, even if he has entered the top 4 many times, Ma Xiaofei has only 1 time so far, and Kobayashi Koji has only 2 times. I have to say that this is really a puzzling phenomenon.

It is precisely because of this that the "Sino-Japanese Celebrity Competition" will attract so much attention. Many people regard such a special stage as a showcase of the highest level of Go in two countries.

Well, now that after N consecutive defeats, this year's Ma Xiaofei has finally come to the bitter end, and of course the media has to report on such a landmark event.

"Ma Xiao, it's a good thing to win Xiaolin, but you can't be flustered. I remember that Zhao Zhixun said at the beginning of the year: The current No. 1 in Japan is no longer No. 1 in the world. You should be able to do the World Series too......"

It was Chen Chaoyue who said this, and he said it on a plane to Seoul.

End of '93. The 5th "Toyo Securities Cup" was held. In this competition, there are only four Chinese chess players who participated, and they were Li Xiaoqiang. Nie Whirlwind, Ma Xiaofei and Yu Bin. It may be that it is a bit "weak" in terms of numbers. That's why Chen Chaoyue has high hopes for Ma Xiaofei.

In the face of Chen Chaoyue's ardent hope, Ma Xiaofei just smiled, he didn't speak. However, anyone can see that the current Ma Xiaofei is full of ambition. On the plane, he actually pretended to shake the folding fan, on the surface of the fan. Impressively mentioned the four big words "Eight Winds Don't Move".

Seeing Ma Xiaofei's appearance, Li Xiaoqiang on the side just wanted to laugh. Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that in the folding fans of all well-known chess players. Ma Xiaofei's fan is the one with the most incompatible painting style.

No matter from any point of view, the demonic Ma Xiaofei and the light and elegant Ma Xiaofei don't seem to have anything to do with "The Eight Winds Don't Move".

"Xiaoqiang. What are you laughing at? ”

"Nothing. I'm just thinking, Mr. Ma, can you change the fan......"

As the saying goes, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Ma Xiaofei, who had just "pierced the window paper", was now in high spirits, but once again suffered a blow in the World Series.

The 5th "Toyo Securities Cup" was held. Among the four Chinese players in the competition, Li Xiaoqiang and Nie Whirlwind are seeded players, and Ma Xiaofei and Yu Bin need to participate in the first round.

Ma Xiaofei's opponent was Liu Changhe.

One is the title king of Chinese chess. The other is the latest World Champion to be released this year. It's only round 1, there's no doubt about it. Such a pair naturally became the biggest focus in the arena, and everyone was looking forward to a wonderful dragon fight.

It's just that it backfired, and the game was less than 50 hands, and Ma Xiaofei's situation was already very bad, and he showed signs of collapse early.

In the research room, Chen Chaoyue frowned:

"Xiaoqiang, what do you think is going on? Ma Xiao's wrong move? How did the situation stop so quickly? ”

"Old Chen, I said a long time ago that this Liu Changhe has his own uniqueness. If you look closely at the chess he played today, do you see a little shadow of ancient Chinese chess? ”

"Huh? Ancient Chinese chess? I'll take a look at ...... Yes, the lower right corner is "Star Flying", and the upper right corner is "Leaning Cover". Don't say it, these two are really common chess shapes in ancient chess. What do you mean? Could it be that these two ordinary chess shapes can make Ma Xiao fall behind so much? It's unlikely, right? ”

"Of course not, although these two chess shapes are common, the global configuration is not common. It can be seen that Liu Changhe has a deep study of this configuration. He has his own unique experience, so to speak, Mr. Ma happened to not understand this situation enough, which led to his great backwardness. Alas! It's a pity, if Mr. Ma could understand a little more about the idea of ancient Chinese chess, this place should not be wrong. ”

"Then what do you think Ma Xiao made the wrong move?"

"I've always thought that the problem is likely to lie in this step of "eating". In modern chess, as long as you encounter this kind of "playing", most players may not want to shoot it. But Chen Lao, you have also studied ancient Chinese chess, in ancient chess, it is generally believed that this step of "eating" is not to be taken lightly, right? The thinking of the middle chess thinks that this move is still good to keep. Today's game of chess, Mr. Ma casually "played", and then "stand" after playing, if in normal times, this small gap is nothing, but in today's special situation, this play is a bit contradictory. Liu Changhe's stern "clamp", Mr. Ma's chess is no longer easy to play. You should be able to see it by now, right? In this kind of place, Liu Changhe definitely has research, he is waiting for Mr. Ma here, and from this move, Mr. Ma has fallen into an all-out bitter battle. ”

In today's era, the method of "leaning on the cover" has been very popular for a while. This retro-style style of play was also the first to become popular in the Korean chess world, and the initiator of it was Liu Changhyuk, who was competing with Ma Xiaofei. "One pressure and one tiger", this is one of the basic forms of "leaning on the cover". In modern chess, as long as you encounter this kind of situation, you basically don't want to think about it, and basically "play" on it. Let's play the opponent as a "fool" first, this is the theory of modern chess. But what about in second-hand chess? That's not the case.

"It's really ha, in the ancient chess, you basically can't see this step of "eating", it is generally "standing", so Xiaoqiang, which of these two ideas is better? ”

Generally speaking, "leaning on the cover" is a very tight way to play, let's take a look at this move "to eat", this move is very urgent? If the other party is changed, he is a "long" step. Such a "long" step should be regarded as a relatively loose method, right? This is inconsistent with the purpose of "leaning on the cover". Therefore, in most cases, as long as you "lean on the cover", then this "long" step is embarrassed to make a move. Now well, the so-called point of the enemy is the point of mine, since this point is not the "point of the enemy", then why rush to defeat it? Since it can be hit at any time, wouldn't it be better to keep the changes here? Therefore, I think that at least in this place, the idea of intermediate chess is more reasonable. ”

"Hehe, Xiaoqiang, I found that you are getting more and more crooked now."

"I'm not a fallacious reason, there are too many plausible places in Japanese Go theory. For example, this step of "eating", on the surface, how cool it is to eat, and it makes the other party a "fool", but what about after it is cool? Do you have a realistic interest? Playing chess is to pay attention to efficiency, since one move cannot see the benefits of reality, then this kind of chess has its inevitability? Why can such a move be regarded as an absolute hand? ”

"Huh? I said Xiaoqiang, your Go won't be so utilitarian, I really don't see it. ”

"That is, my chess is only about efficiency, and of course it has nothing to do with utilitarianism."

"Then how can you come up with such a utilitarian theory?"

Li Xiaoqiang smiled at Chen Chaoyue: "I didn't come up with this theory, it's the person over there who said it." ”

The "person" Li Xiaoqiang said was Li Shifo not far away.

"That person's Go is the real utilitarian ......"

At the end of the first round of the game, although Ma Xiaofei persisted until the end, he still lost with a disadvantage of 6 and a half eyes. After the game, Ma Xiaofei, who lost a lot of face, said to Li Xiaoqiang depressedly:

"Xiaoqiang, I have decided to take you as a teacher now and learn two ancient Chinese chess tricks."

"Don't accept it, don't accept it, you can't learn ancient Chinese chess with such a style."

"You're just there, to be honest, I've always been very suspicious of your identity as a descendant of the Middle Ages chess line, why have I never seen you use such a trick against me? Compared with Liu Changhyuk, don't be more authentic in other people's tricks, right? ”

"Hehe, that's don't let him meet me, if I face him, you'll know who corrected the sect."

It's a joke, of course, but it's not a book. At the draw ceremony of the second round of the competition, when Li Xiaoqiang unfolded the small note in his hand, he couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in this round happens to be Liu Changhe.

Of course, this is not the most coincidental coincidence, when the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhe began. This game of chess is played by Li Xiaoqiang. The game was still in the morning, the game was still in the layout stage, and there were only a few more than 30 pieces on the board. Li Xiaoqiang thought quietly on the chessboard for more than 10 minutes, and he dropped a white piece. As this piece lands on the board, another classic medieval chess shape appears in the game.

In the viewing room, when the accompanying reporter Zhang Da saw this move, his eyes widened, and he once again found a fun toy like a child:

"Jinjing Rail, it's Jinjing Rail! Hahaha, such a chess form should have been extinct in professional competitions for many years, right? I really want to see what new ideas Xiaoqiang can make today. ”

For Li Xiaoqiang's move, Liu Changhe was obviously surprised. Then he fell into a long exam. But the longer he pondered, his expression seemed to become more and more grim. (To be continued......)
