"Cao Guoshou, why do you say that if you want to defeat Li Xiaoqiang, strength is the key?"

Today's partner with Lao Cao is a beautiful little Lori surnamed Han. In today's Korean chess world, male chess players have nothing to say, female chess players are all such little girls, most of them still started the semester after Lao Cao won the first "Ying's Cup", so it is difficult to find an older female chess player.

In the face of the beautiful partner, today's Lao Cao seemed to be very interested, and I saw him smile:

"You have a good question, if you want to explain this question, I think we must first start with the characteristics of Li Xiaoqiang's chess style...... I'm going to test you now, what do you think are the main characteristics of Li Xiaoqiang's chess style? ”

Lao Cao's question, it should be said that it is difficult to say that it is not simple, and it is not simple. The reason why this question is not difficult is because Li Xiaoqiang, as a man of the year in today's chess world, his reputation as a "chessboard wizard" is resounding in the chess world, not to mention a professional chess player now, even some amateurs who have just come into contact with Go for a short time can say one, two, three, four to Li Xiaoqiang.

It is not easy to answer this question because Li Xiaoqiang's current "advantages" seem to be a bit much, and if you just praised him for this advantage today, he may win in another way tomorrow. For a chess player who seems to be very well-rounded and seems to be at the top level in all skills, it is really impossible to tell what his characteristics are.

"This and this ......" Sure enough, at the beginning, Han MM thought that this question was relatively easy, but after she thought about it carefully, she found that Li Xiaoqiang was really not something she could evaluate, so she changed her words and threw this question back to Lao Cao:

"I think it's better to ask Cao Guoshou to help us answer this question. We want to hear what is so special about Li Xiaoqiang in Cao Guoshou's mind? ”

After listening to Han MM's words, Cao Yanzi was not polite, and he began to tell his opinion on Li Xiaoqiang:

"The current Li Xiaoqiang has certainly become comprehensive, but this is not the most terrifying thing about him. I also think that my chess is very comprehensive, and Shi Fo's chess is also very comprehensive. Compared with the vast majority of chess players, who dares to say that Shi Fo's chess is not comprehensive? So I think any so-called comprehensiveness is only comparative. Li Xiaoqiang's really scary things, I think are mainly the following two points. “

"Which two?"

"The first point is that Li Xiaoqiang often has some unconventional ideas, which is what everyone calls whimsy."

Hearing Lao Cao say this, Han MM was a little surprised, he also thought that Lao Cao could have any new insights, but he didn't think it was still like this, because this question is basically a cliché, since Li Xiaoqiang's debut, such comments have been endless.

"Strictly speaking, it's not a big deal, and it's not a regular weapon to win chess. The so-called "clever moves" mean that any chess player can make a good move in a game. This could not have been used as a characteristic to judge a person. The difference between Li Xiaoqiang and others is that because he has a lot of unconventional ideas, this also causes him to have a greater probability of making a good move than others. Over time, this slowly became one of his major advantages. Because this has slowly formed Li Xiaoqiang's unique deterrent power, as long as you sit across from him, you have to bear more pressure than usual. Why do many people become timid when they play against Li Xiaoqiang? Here's why. In layman's terms, many people were not killed by Li Xiaoqiang, but were scared to death by him. ”

Cao Yanzi was talking about her own experience, but Han MM next to her didn't feel much. Of course, this situation is also normal, because what Lao Cao said is that only those who have played chess with Li Xiaoqiang can empathize. Like Han MM, she doesn't have the qualifications to play chess with Li Xiaoqiang, so of course she won't feel anything.

"And what's the second thing about him?"

"Although Li Xiaoqiang's whimsy is a headache, it is not terrible. But Li Xiaoqiang's second advantage, I think it's really terrible. Because although whimsy is difficult to resist, after all, it is impossible to have it in every game, and this cannot be used as a conventional weapon. And Li Xiaoqiang's second characteristic is his real conventional weapon. I think this is also the most troublesome thing about Li Xiaoqiang. ”

"Oh? What are his traits that are so scary? ”

"That's his style of moving on the edge of aggressiveness and over-the-top!"

Hearing Lao Cao say this categorically, Han MM who was standing beside him wanted to laugh. The heart said, are you talking about Li Xiaoqiang or yourself? Don't others think that this is your most typical style of chess? Although Han MM thought so in his heart, he said very cooperatively:

"Yes, yes, this is a very powerful style, in the whole world chess world, there are only 3 players who are famous for this style of chess, one is Mr. Wu Qingyuan of Japan, one is you, and the other is Li Xiaoqiang of China. It seems that those who can use this method of play are the best Go geniuses. Cao Guoshou I would like to ask you a question, if this style of chess can be regarded as a unique strategy, as an expert in this area, who do you think will use it the best among the three of you? ”

Cao Yanzi showed a smile:

"Who uses it best, you ask? I really can't answer this, because in Mr. Wu's time, he mainly played inappropriate Go, and because of the rules, it was not easy to compare with now. But if you ask the other way around, ask who is the worst user, then there is a clear answer to this question, and that person is undoubtedly me. ”

"Oh?" Hearing that Cao Yanzi was so modest, Han MM's question also began to be cautious:

"So what do you think is special about Li Xiaoqiang's chess style? What is so good about him? ”

"Measure! A sense of proportion! I think among the three of us, Li Xiaoqiang's sense of proportion is the best when using this kind of play. To be honest, this is Li Xiaoqiang's strength, and it is also where I admit that I am inferior. ”

"Oh."

For Lao Cao's words, Han MM understood it very quickly. The so-called "between positive and excessive" is the most important thing is that you must be able to contain, if you contain it, you are a positive good move, in case you do not catch it, then it will become an excessively bad move. This is the sense of proportion in Lao Cao's mouth.

As for why Lao Cao ranked Li Xiaoqiang in front of Mr. Wu Qingyuan, it is of course very understandable. Because Mr. Wu often plays inappropriate Go, he just wants to pay attention to the "sense of proportion", and he doesn't have that condition.

As for comparing with Lao Cao himself, there is nothing to say, as long as Li Shifo is used as a reference. Why is Li Shifo often able to abuse Lao Cao to the point of being a fairy? This is Lao Cao's own sense of proportion, and he can often be caught by Li Shifo.

On the other hand, Li Xiaoqiang, although he was caught by Li Shifo at times, there were basically few such cases, at least much less than Lao Cao. Li Shifo won Li Xiaoqiang's chess games in the past, relying more on his perseverance, his waiting, crocodile-like waiting, and winning with officials in the long front.

"Cao Guoshou, it seems that you are right, I have heard many masters who have played chess with Li Xiaoqiang say that it is difficult to find Li Xiaoqiang's flaws in the game, which makes people feel that he is extremely difficult to deal with......"

"No, you're wrong, in fact, in many games, Li Xiaoqiang's flaws are not difficult to find."

"Huh? …… What do you mean? ”

"I mean: although Li Xiaoqiang is good at hiding his flaws, there is a type of chess player, the kind of chess player who has a very good sense of balance, such as Li Shifo, his chess sense is like a very sensitive scale, once he finds an imbalance on the chessboard, he can quickly feel it. Therefore, a chess player of his type can often find flaws in Li Xiao's forced chess. ”

"Oh? Then ...... said, "Han MM actually didn't say a word, she said in her heart Since you think that Li Shifo can often find Li Xiaoqiang's flaws, why didn't you see Li Shifo ravaging Li Xiaoqiang like he ravaged you."

But without waiting for Han MM to be confused, Cao Yanzi said the answer herself:

"But unfortunately, if you find Li Xiaoqiang's flaws, it doesn't mean that you can catch his flaws and use his flaws to win chess. Because among them, there is another very key factor, if this factor is not available, many chess players will not be able to take Li Xiaoqiang. In fact, this also includes the Stone Buddha, I think the Stone Buddha has always been inferior to Li Xiaoqiang in this regard, so it feels like he has been at a disadvantage when he and Li Xiaoqiang confronted him. ”

"What's so important about that?"

"This key factor is the power of chess!"

"Ahh Thank you, Cao Guoshou, now I finally understand. ”

Now not only Korean MM, but now many Korean chess fans who are listening to Lao Cao's chess talk actually understand what Lao Cao means. Dare to love Lao Cao has gone around in such a big circle, he mainly wants to explain such a problem.

Today is the first game of the five-way game. Cao Yanzi didn't talk about specific technical issues at the beginning, nor did he comment on the specific moves of the two sides, why did he explain this problem in the first place? This is actually Lao Cao's cleverness. As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. In terms of Go, Lao Cao is of course a great expert, so he can see through the essence of the problem at a glance.

A five-way chess competition, in the final analysis, is a contest of the comprehensive ability of chess players. In other words, it is the "core competitiveness" of chess players. In Lao Cao's view, Li Xiaoqiang's "core competitiveness" is, of course, his style of moving on the edge of being active and excessive. This is Li Xiaoqiang's greatest reliance, and it is also Li Xiaoqiang's most trustworthy magic weapon to win chess.

In the past, when everyone compared Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo together, why did everyone think that Li Xiaoqiang was slightly better? This is because Li Shifo has never been able to form a breakthrough in Li Xiaoqiang's strongest point, as long as Li Xiaoqiang gives full play to this characteristic, I feel that Li Shifo has always had no way to take Li Xiaoqiang. Looking at Li Xiaoqiang's chess game against Li Shifo on the other hand, Li Xiaoqiang is much more relaxed.

Although Li Shifo may also win chess, and he has also won a lot against Li Xiaoqiang before. However, Li Shifo's way of winning chess relies more on passive waiting, relying on a more passive way to win chess.

In Lao Cao's opinion, if Li Shifo still wants to win Li Xiaoqiang in the way he was used to before, it is obviously unreliable.

Not to mention that Li Xiaoqiang's official kung fu is also super strong, Li Shifo can win others by "waiting", but it is not necessarily against Li Xiaoqiang. And another important reason, when it comes to controlling the flow of chess games and the ability to grasp chess games, Li Xiaoqiang is unparalleled in today's world chess world. No one can "put the chess game into his own track" in front of Li Xiaoqiang, and Li Shifo has done the best in this regard, but he still can't.

Therefore, if you want to really beat Li Xiaoqiang, especially defeat Li Xiaoqiang in Wuban chess, the best way is of course to break Li Xiaoqiang's strongest point!

In the past, Li Shifo couldn't do this, because as Lao Cao said, he may be able to find Li Xiaoqiang's excessive hands in some games, but he can't hold Li Xiaoqiang responsible, and he can only choose to stretch the front and endure slowly most of the time.

Why is this happening? The most core problem is that Li Shifo's strength is not as strong as Li Xiaoqiang!

However, in today's first game, Lao Cao discovered the gratifying changes that happened to Li Shifo, he actually took the initiative to attack, and he actually showed his strength in front of Li Xiaoqiang. Therefore, he did not hesitate to go around in such a big circle, but also to explain the problem clearly.

Lao Cao saw the essence of the problem clearly, and Li Xiaoqiang, who was in the game, realized the problem earlier than him.

"Hehe, the crocodile-like Li Shifo, the extremely stoic Li Shifo actually began to take the initiative to attack? I really didn't expect it, you just think that your strength has grown, so you think you can win against me, right? Then let the horses come and let me see your strength......"

Facing a completely different Li Shifo, Li Xiaoqiang devoted himself to the chess game.

The final of the 9th "Toyo Securities Cup", the last "war of the century" of the 20th century, ushered in an extraordinary start. (To be continued.) )
