Natural flow?

Listening to Masaki Takemiya solemnly say "natural flow", Yuka Umezawa couldn't help laughing. "Wu Gong holds the black cosmic flow, and the white natural flow", many people know this saying. But there is a detail to be noted in this, the "cosmic flow" is said by others, but the "natural flow" is Mr. Takemiya's own pride.

In other words, Takemiya's "cosmic flow" is recognized by everyone, but what about the "natural flow" statement? To put it mildly, this can be regarded as Mr. Takemiya putting gold on his face.

"Cosmic flow" is a very vivid and apt expression, and it represents a kind of "large-scale combat method." Especially Mr. Takemiya's "cosmic flow" is so unique and extraordinary, so when everyone mentions "cosmic flow", the first thing that comes to mind must be Mr. Takemiya, which has almost become a label for him. But what about "natural flows"? To be honest, this doesn't seem to be very clear, even if many professional chess players can't actually say one, two, three, four.

At least today, Yuka Umezawa, who is talking about chess, actually doesn't know what "natural flow" is.

"Oh? It turns out that black's way of playing today is called "natural flow"? But Mr. Takemiya, I don't see what is so powerful about this kind of play, for example, when we talked about chess just now, we all said that black chess moves today are very ordinary......"

"Of course......" Facing the camera, Masaki Takemiya began to gush, although he seemed to be praising Li Xiaoqiang on the surface, but in the eyes of Yukari Umezawa next to him, he was a little boastful. …… One of the most important qualities of the essence of natural flow is that the tricks are ordinary. Everything seems to be so natural. For example, Black's move today did not drag the slightest bit of mud and water, nor did it have any abrupt feeling. But unconsciously, he has established a clear advantage. This is the most authentic "natural flow" method......"

"But Mr. Takemiya, how can it be called a "natural flow"? ”

"Natural flow is a very deep attack. I believe that there are at least the following characteristics to qualify for being called a "natural stream". ”

"Oh? What are the characteristics? ”

Masaki Takemiya glanced at Yukari Umezawa: "Yukari, let me ask you a question first, if you are faced with the governance of orphans, such as the white chess of Zhixun today, then what do you expect most?" ”

"Facing the ...... of orphaning Of course, it is expected to be a quick decision, and it would be nice to be able to settle down quickly. Isn't that so? ”

That's right, offense and defense in Go are always a pair of sharp contradictions, what do you want to achieve? I'm not going to let you get what you want. Specific to today's game, from the perspective of white chess he wants to play quickly, then from the perspective of black chess...... You can help black think about what strategy is most appropriate for black. ”

With such an obvious hint from Mr. Takemiya, let's go back and look at the process of actual combat. If Yukari Umezawa still doesn't see any problems, then she is not qualified to be a professional chess player.

"What do you mean is that Black's intention is to always find ways to lengthen the front......"

"You're right...... Mr. Takemiya put on a teachable look:

"The first characteristic of "natural flow" is to be summed up in 12 words. That is, "no hurry, no impatience, steady and steady." elongate the front". You can now go back and see if black has this characteristic today. ”

Yukari Umezawa didn't need to answer this question, and when Mr. Takemiya asked the question, even the average Japanese chess fan watching the live broadcast saw it clearly. From Zhao Zhixun's "entry" of more than 60 chess moves, the entire offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than 100 chess moves. The rest can be left alone, if only "elongated the front" is said. Li Xiaoqiang has been very successful in this regard.

"It seems that this is really the case, in terms of lengthening the front, black seems to have done a good job today. In addition to this, are there any other characteristics of "natural flow" that you are talking about? ”

Masaki Takemiya said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the words "elongating the front", it is not easy to lengthen the front in the offensive and defensive battles of Go. The most basic requirements. That is, the attacking side must put constant pressure on the defending side. Anyone who has played Go knows that it is easy to exert pressure on one or two moves, it is not easy to exert pressure on more than 10 moves in a row, and dozens of moves to exert pressure, which is already considered an attack master, and like today's actual combat, more than 100 consecutive chess pressures are endless, so that white chess can never get out, this is not something that ordinary people can do, which requires extremely careful thinking and superb attack skills, today's game of chess, black chess has done quite well in this regard. Therefore, the second characteristic of natural flow, which I also summarize in 12 words, is "not in a hurry, not slow, slow pressure, continuous". Do you think that makes sense? ”

"Who knows if you're praising him or yourself......" Yukari Umezawa complained in her heart, but on the surface she looked "taught":

"Sir, summed it up so well, is this what you think of as "natural flow"? It seems that this "natural flow" is really powerful......"

"Of course not!" Mr. Takemiya unceremoniously interrupted Yukari Umezawa's compliment:

"If you only do the above two things, I don't think it can be called a true natural flow. In today's world chess world, there are actually many chess players who can do the above two things. But none of these players, I don't think they can be called a natural flow. In my mind, there is at least one trait and one of the most important characteristics that a true natural flow must have! ”

"...... are you referring to"

"A chess player who can use the natural flow must have a high level of imagination and extraordinary creativity. You can take a closer look at today's game, it should be said that Jihoon played well today, and if black only has the first two characteristics, I think he can only maintain a balance of power at most. But now it's the black advantage, so where does this advantage come from? This comes from his imagination and creativity. ”

Umezawa once again pretended to look back at the game, and it seemed that she really saw something wrong with it. In fact, this situation is also inevitable. A large offensive and defensive battle in Go, in most cases. It doesn't mean that just because you're in an offensive position doesn't necessarily have an advantage. Because in the face of a top master of orphan control like Zhao Zhixun, it is difficult for you to gain any practical benefits in a direct attack.

So where does Li Xiaoqiang's advantage come from in today's game of chess? That is, of course, he relied on his imagination and creativity to "create" the places where he took advantage of them, and then through a series of attacks, he realized those benefits one by one.

It's like your "cosmic flow", where someone else breaks your appearance. You can always build another look right away. Then someone else breaks it, and you build it...... This requires extraordinary imagination and creativity. When others have broken and cannot be broken, they find that the overall situation has been decided, but they find that your real space is still a lot more than his. That's the essence of "natural flow", and that's what you really think of as "natural flow", is that what it means? ”

"Haha, that's pretty much what it means......"

It must be admitted that Mr. Takemiya and Yukari Umezawa sang and harmonized, and explained what "natural flow" is very thoroughly. However, the Japanese chess fans who listened to them were depressed.

In any case, today is whether it is good for Japanese players to lose. You two are talking so hilarious, talking so elated in front of the camera. So which side of the hell are you two......

By around 5:30 p.m., the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Zhao Zhixun was close to the end. At this time, the game lasted about six and a half hours. Since the "Ying's Cup" is a game with a fixed time of 3 and a half hours for each side, at this time, there should be no problem of "overtime penalty points" for both sides.

"Is it about 9 meshes on the plate?"

In the studio hall in Japan, Mr. Masaki Takemiya asked Yukari Umezawa this.

"That's right, we've all checked it a few times. The normal ending should be about 9 mesh on the black chessboard. ”

At this time, Yukari Umezawa was actually in a good mood, but it may be because she was in a good mood. She seemed to be back to normal, at least by this time she was starting to pay attention to her position. Facing the camera, Yukari Umezawa once again put on a very regretful look:

"Oh, Mr. Zhao is really a pity today, he actually played well today. Now that black has little advantage, let's see if there is a chance for white to reverse. Maybe black made a mistake at this time......"

"No need......" Just as Yukari Umezawa was pretending there, Masaki Takemiya waved his hand. He doesn't have any awareness of "paying attention to his position":

"If Jihoon's opponent is someone else, then I think this move needs to be put on the table. It's a pity that his opponent today is Li Xiaoqiang, it's the chessboard wizard Li Xiaoqiang! In the face of the current situation, I don't think there is any possibility of Jixun reversing. No! I don't think anyone can be in this situation, not just Jihoon. Snatched a set win from Li Xiaoqiang. ”

"Oh, do you really think so?"

"Yes, since the first time I played against Li Xiaoqiang that year, that's what I thought ......"

At about the same time, a similar scene was also staged in the Chinese Chess Academy.

"Is it about 9 meshes on the plate?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, all the Chinese players stopped playing chess. Reporter Zhang Da leaned back in his chair lazily.

What everyone has to do now seems to be just quietly waiting for the news of Li Xiaoqiang's victory to come.

In fact, everyone didn't wait too long, at around 5:40 in the afternoon, although Mr. Zhao Zhixun insisted on finishing the last single official, but for the final result, the two players actually knew it well.

"Black wins by 3 points!"

After a lapse of about two years, Li Xiaoqiang once again broke into the final of the World Series.
