When the game between Ma Xiaofei and Cao Yanzi was going on in the afternoon, the number of chess players who came to the research room gradually increased. Compared with the members of the Chinese delegation, they talked and laughed freely, and their faces were relaxed. The atmosphere on the Korean players' side was a bit solemn. Indeed, from winning two consecutive championships in the Fujitsu Cup and the Toyo Securities Cup last year, to being the runner-up in this year's Fujitsu Cup. If you can't even make it to the finals this time. Then this downward trend is too obvious. This is undoubtedly a basin of cold water for South Korean Go, which is currently full of ambition and wants to make a big difference in the world chess arena.

Among the current three Go powers, South Korean Go can be said to be the most unsubstantial. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they need to prove themselves with their results even more. Korean chess players who appear on the international stage always feel that they have a stronger sense of victory and defeat than Chinese and Japanese chess players, and this may be the reason for this.

In the afternoon study room, although everyone was clearly divided into two circles when playing chess, there was a chessboard in front of the Chinese delegation, and the Koreans also set up a fast chessboard. But everyone's research is not so clear-cut. After Liu Changhe, Li Shifo and the others came in, they all came over here to greet them warmly, and they were also disciples of Nie Whirlwind, and they seemed to be quite deferential. Especially after today's chess game has entered a critical place, the chess players of the two countries simply do not distinguish between each other, and everyone gathers together for joint research.

It can be seen that Nie Whirlwind's interest today is very high, and at a little more than two o'clock in the afternoon, when he saw Cao Yanzi's good move, Nie Whirlwind opened the conversation:

"It was interesting to play the game today, both of whom were hailed as one of the best Go geniuses by Mr. Hideyuki in Japan. To be honest, I used to be a little strange, why did the old gentleman rank Cao Yanzi in front of Ma Xiaofei? Seeing Mr. Cao's move just now, I felt that Mr. Xiuxing's arrangement should also make sense. ”

This kind of evaluation of senior chess players is naturally inconvenient for others to interject. Everyone can only listen to Nie Whirlwind alone. Who knew that Nie Whirlwind's interest today was really high, he first asked Li Shifo through the translator, and asked him if he knew why, Li Shifo hummed there for a long time and refused to say. Nie Whirlwind had no choice but to turn his head again and ask Li Xiaoqiang:

"Xiaoqiang. Do you know why? ”

Li Xiaoqiang said in his heart, where do I know. However, he thought that Nie Whirlwind's emotion was caused by Cao Yanzi's good move, so he carefully analyzed this move.

In this game, both players chose the same opening as in the second game. It can be seen that Ma Xiaofei should have made careful preparations. When he took the lead in changing his moves, after more than a dozen rounds of rushing and dismantling, the research room judged that Ma Xiaofei should have opened up the situation, and when the chess game reached more than 40 moves, everyone generally thought that Ma Xiaofei's chess was relatively easy to play.

Of course, everyone thinks that Ma Xiaofei's chess is easy to play, but no one thinks that Ma Xiaofei has an advantage now. Because today's situation was different from the situation in their first set, today's situation looked very chaotic, and the two sides fought fiercely in the Central Plains Generation.

By 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The overall situation was carried out to more than 60 hands. At this time, Cao Yanzi made a good move. This move was unexpected by the research room, but after everyone tasted it carefully, they unanimously recognized that it was a good move, which also triggered Nie Whirlwind's emotion.

"I think...... Maybe it's because "the higher is in the belly"? Mr. Cao is indeed talented in this regard, and I think Mr. Xiuxing saw him at this, so he ranked him in front of Mr. Ma. Mr. Nie, do you think I'm right? ”

"That's right......" Nie Whirlwind deeply agreed with Li Xiaoqiang's opinion: "...... There is a saying in the game of Go that there is no game through the ages. What is the main aspect of this difference, which is mainly reflected in the middle of the chessboard. In the corners of the chessboard, you can summarize a lot of fixed pulls, routines and so on. These can be mastered through systematic learning. But the mid-belly of the board is different. In addition to those few combat principles, there are basically no rules to follow in the mid-belly battle of Go. So that's where talent comes in. I think how good a player is in this area is the best way to distinguish the talent from the inferior......"

"That's a bit one-sided, isn't it? Sure enough, according to what you say, isn't Japan's Masaki Takemiya the most talented chess player in the world? ”

For Nie Whirlwind's statement. The first to question it was reporter Zhang Da. Indeed, in today's era, as long as everyone talks about the middle belly of Go, the first thing that comes to mind must be Masaki Takemiya's "cosmic flow". Especially amateur chess players like reporter Zhang Da. But it's clear. Professional chess players obviously look at problems from a different perspective than amateur chess players. Nie Whirlwind smiled and said to reporter Zhang Da:

"That's right, Wu Gong's talent is certainly quite good. But if we only think that the "cosmic flow" is the one who is superior, I think this is really one-sided. There are many kinds of masters in Go, and "Cosmic Flow" is just one of them. For example......

Nie Whirlwind's interest in talking today seems to be really high, and when it comes to rising, he pointed his fingers at Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo at this time. Nie Whirlwind continued:

Mr. Xiuxing also commented on these two, the two of them are actually a typical example of the high in the belly, so now let's talk about the "height" of the two of them, where is the height? ”

Hearing Nie Whirlwind say this, except for Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo, who were not easy to speak, other chess players and reporters naturally started talking about it. Since this is the home of Koreans, praise should start with praising guests. Finally, Liu Changhe expressed his evaluation of Li Xiaoqiang on behalf of everyone.

Everyone thinks that Li Xiaoqiang's "high" is mainly reflected in his imagination. In a seemingly dull situation, Li Xiaoqiang can always create all kinds of clues. In some complicated situations, Li Xiaoqiang can always find the most correct way to win. Li Xiaoqiang's characteristic is, of course, a kind of "high in the belly".

Li Xiaoqiang has been listening to the side, although he has not spoken, but his heart is happy. You must know that Li Xiaoqiang has always had little confidence in his talent. But hearing everyone say this, Li Xiaoqiang felt that it seemed to be really like that, maybe his Go talent was really good.

When talking about Li Shifo, Liu Changhyuk and other Korean chess players refused to say it anymore. After all, there are Chinese chess players here, and they want to hear what Chinese chess players say about Li Shifo. However, there were only Nie Whirlwind and Li Xiaoqiang at the scene. Nie Whirlwind aimed his gaze at Li Xiaoqiang, he meant you. Other Korean chess players also set their sights on Li Xiaoqiang, and in this case Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to speak:

"Isn't his height obvious? He can always find the hemisphere in the mid-abdomen that everyone can't see. I guess this is also one of the higher in the belly, right? And many of you may feel the same way. ”

Regarding Li Xiaoqiang's words, Liu Changhyuk, Xu Bongzhu and others all agreed. Indeed, Li Shifo's "high" is actually a kind of high in the belly. If Mr. Wu Gong's "cosmic flow" is a grand scale of "high", then Li Shifo's micro "high" is more terrifying than Mr. Wu Gong's "high". Because his "high" is often very inconspicuous, often ignored by everyone, and often makes people lose chess unconsciously.

"Cao Guoshou is indeed high, and the Stone Buddha is of course even more high, and now I finally understand why Cao Guoshou can't win the Stone Buddha."

It was Liu Changhe who said this, of course he didn't say it casually, he only felt it after watching the latest progress in the chess game. Today's game of chess seems to fully explain why Li Shifo is more terrible than Cao Yanzi.

Cao Yanzi did make a good move just now, and it was right that "the master is in the belly". But what are the disadvantages of this move? The mistake is that this move is so gorgeous that people can quickly perceive the wonder of this move. In this way, it is actually very difficult to take advantage of such a means in actual combat.

For example, in today's game, although Cao Yanzi made a good move, Ma Xiaofei quickly became vigilant, and he made the most correct precautions in the back. Although in this part, Cao Yanzi can also be regarded as a harvest, but the income is very limited. After more than a dozen rounds, everyone judged that the overall situation was still evenly balanced.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the research atmosphere in the research room was still warm. Because at this time, the two sides of the game seem to be evenly matched, and it is still known who will die. But it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone saw the latest chess games. Almost all of them lost interest in continuing their research.

Shocking giant spoon!

At this critical juncture, Cao Yanzi unexpectedly appeared with a shocking giant spoon! He inexplicably lost about 20 mesh in one locality. In this way, the whole game can no longer be sustained.

No one would have thought that the first meeting of Chinese chess players in the World Series would be realized under such circumstances.

With Cao Yanzi's mistake, the wish of Chinese Go to "have a fat year" can be said to have been realized.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Korean chess players in the research room said goodbye one after another, leaving only a few people waiting for Liu Changhyuk and Li Shifo. Also waiting, of course, are all the members of the Chinese delegation.

I don't know what Cao Yanzi is thinking about, maybe she is unwilling, maybe she is adjusting her mood. He insisted on not admitting defeat until he finished all the officials. And after that, Ma Xiaofei's response has been leaky, and he didn't give Cao Yanzi any chance.

At around 5 p.m., the battle of the focus of the Chinese and Korean chess circles finally ended.

20 and a half meshes!

In the end, Ma Xiaofei actually won 20 and a half meshes, which may be the biggest gap in the professional game except for the mid-game victory.

"Xiaoqiang, it seems that you and Ma Xiao still have to fight for this baton I handed over."

After the game, when Nie Whirlwind said this to Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang smiled in return.

"Ma Xiaofei's spring, is it really coming......" (To be continued.) )
