The match between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo is nearing the end. By half past five in the afternoon, Li Shifo's chess speed suddenly slowed down, and every time he didn't read 57, 58, he refused to fall, and his ****** unchanged poker face also showed a trace of imperceptible anxiety.

Yes! Li Shifo has already discovered the problem, and he also knows the seriousness of the problem. He was once so close to victory, but now he is so far away.

A casual mistake is not even a mistake. "Hit the general"! , his three consecutive "hits" not long ago may be the most critical factor in determining the outcome of this game.

It can't be blamed that Li Shifo didn't notice his robbery, because the situation on the chessboard today is too peculiar, and it is rare to see such a scene in 10,000 games of chess.

By 5:30 p.m., the two sides had played more than 370 moves, and the total number of hands so far had even exceeded the 361 intersections of the board. Despite this, it seems that the total number of hands in this game will continue to increase a lot, because the two are still playing that "two-handed robbery".

However, by this time, the value of the "two-handed robbery" had become very small, how small was it? It is so small that it is only the value of grapes, and if it is converted into meshes, the current "two-handed robbery" is worth 3 meshes.

Two hands are worth 3 meshes in the back hand, and 1 and a half meshes when converted into a hand. This is already a small official who can't be smaller, it can be said that in addition to the small official with one purpose in the back, the value of this "two-handed robbery" on the chessboard is the least.

But it was this "two-handed robbery" that became Li Shifo's talisman!

What did Li Shifo ignore? Predictably. Li Shifo must have made a judgment on the situation before, and his judgment should be the same as Chang Rensheng's, and his own board should be about 7 meters ahead.

In Li Shifo's plan. For this "two-handed robbery", he was not ready to win, so he didn't care about the robbery. Two hands of chess are worth 3 meshes, which is equivalent to 2 small officials with 1 and a half meshes in the back hand. Li Shifo designed the winning chess route, even if he loses this robbery, then as long as he can grab one more junior official with 2 goals in the back hand, or even as long as he can occupy one more official with 1 goal in the back hand. That will also ensure that you win at least half a goal.

But he was playing and playing, and when the situation on the chessboard became clearer and clearer, Li Shifo had already found that something was wrong. To say that this game of chess is indeed quite peculiar. Due to the fact that this game of chess has been robbed many times, the chess pieces on the chessboard are densely packed, not only have there not been many changes, but even the kind of petty officials with one or two purposes are very few.

In this case. Why does Li Shifo feel like he is going to lose? Let's take a brief look at the actual combat process.

When the game is played to the end. Because the "two-handed robbery" is only a small official worth one and a half eyes, it is not as valuable as the officials with two goals in the back. Li Shifo robbed while collecting the officials of the second purpose. This kind of robbery while ending the show, and using the end as a robbery material is usually very comfortable, presumably Li Shifo should have been in a very happy mood at that time.

Li Xiaoqiang relied on his own robbery to gain advantage and survived the stage of receiving the second official in the back.

When it came to the chessboard, there was only one official left in the back hand, and Li Shifo had already found that something was wrong, because there were several situations on the current chessboard: No. 1. There are very few officials with 1 goal on the chessboard, as few as 4. Article 2. At present, Li Shifo has no robbers, and Li Xiaoqiang still has 3 robbers left.

What does it mean when this happens? It means that Li Xiaoqiang can support the "two-handed robbery" to the end. The most important of these is that there are 4 back-handed officials on the chessboard, which is an even number! Since it is an even number, it means that Li Shifo's previous idea of occupying one more official with one more purpose cannot be done. It means that according to the normal progress, this game of chess will end with Li Xiaoqiang's victory!

How so? The Three Kingdoms Tournament is held by Koreans, and it is natural to use Korean rules. But the situation in this game of chess is similar to the "robbery after receiving" in Chinese rules.

Under normal circumstances, it is rare for Japan and South Korea to have a "robbery after receiving" rule. Today happens to be a "two-handed robbery", and it happens that this situation has been made up on the chessboard by various coincidences. Therefore, it has to be said that if Li Xiaoqiang can win this game of chess in the end, there is also a considerable degree of luck.

It can be briefly imagined that the chess game is going on normally, Li Shifo began to collect the officials of the first purpose, and Li Xiaoqiang continued to rely on the robbery to forcibly hold on. 2 of the 4 officials each, and after the 1 officials in the back hand are all collected, Li Xiaoqiang still has the last robbery material left. After Li Shifo robbed him, Li Xiaoqiang beat him back. Assuming that Li Shifo continues, he can only take the next step as a single official who has no value in the rules of Japan and South Korea. And Li Xiaoqiang can be sticky.

The two back hands are 1 and a half mesh, which is equivalent to Li Xiaoqiang being cheaper by 2 meshes at the last moment.

With these 2 chess, it is enough for Li Xiaoqiang to reverse! With these 2 chess, it is enough for Li Xiaoqiang to ensure the final victory!

"Hahaha, Xiaoqiang, did it rely on luck to win this game? I don't think so, who would dare to say that Xiaoqiang's victory in this game is only by luck. Isn't the method of consuming Li Shifo's 3 robberies in front of him his signature move? That's Li Xiaoqiang's witchcraft, can any chess player guarantee that he can make such a move in actual combat......"

It was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and by this time not only the two players had already seen the situation clearly, but also the players watching the game in the research room.

Reporter Zhang Da was laughing heartily, he was smiling happily, happy for Li Xiaoqiang's upcoming victory. In addition to laughing, reporter Zhang Da is also defending Li Xiaoqiang and "Li Xiaoqiang's witchcraft".

At this time in the chess game, doesn't Li Shifo have a chance at all? At this time, both the two players and the chess players in the viewing room focused on Li Xiaoqiang's big space.

Strictly speaking, Li Xiaoqiang's white space is not big, but in today's game of chess, this is already the largest empty space. There are a few remnants of black in it, and it looks like there is still a little aftertaste.

Everyone is trying to find a way for Li Shifo, and they don't want to be able to play chess here. It's to see if you can find the robbery here. There are not many robbers, as long as one can be found, then it is deadly enough!

Is there a problem with this place? In fact, the actual combat is carried out. It was here that Li Shifo settled. This should also be regarded as Li Shifo's last counterattack. But Li Xiaoqiang did not hesitate, he glued the "two-handed robbery" without thinking.

“…… I didn't think about it at the time, not that I had already calculated the changes there, only that I had already judged the situation at that time. At that time, in my eyes, there was only one move. Yes! That was the only way I could win. If I had followed suit, I would have lost half a eye, and if he had been able to play in my free space. Then I will be defeated. Anyway, for me at the time, losing half a mesh was no different from losing 100 mesh. So I definitely wouldn't have said yes at the time, it's that simple......"

This is after the game. Li Xiaoqiang's response to his "unthinking" at the time. And in fact, there was no chess at all in that place, and Li Shifo's counterattack could not succeed at all.

At around 6:01, the high-profile game finally ushered in the final moment.

The final result of this game. It was Li Xiaoqiang who won 1 and a half eyes. The reason why there is an extra half-eye. It was because of Li Shifo's last counterattack that he found a fake robbery, so he lost 1 eye in that place.

More than 5 hours of fierce battle, nearly 400 hands of chess to the death, this is Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo today's contest. When the match officially ended, the two did not replay, or even communicate. Just sat numbly in his seat and watched the referee point out. It seemed like it would take a little bit for both men to recover from the game.

Looking at Li Shifo's lonely expression on the other side, Li Xiaoqiang sighed. In addition to rejoicing. Li Xiaoqiang is also a little afraid. No matter how reporter Zhang Da defended Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang still thinks. There was a lot of luck in winning this game today.

Strictly speaking, Li Xiaoqiang does not think that the quality of this game is very high. This game is more than intense, but not exciting. From the lead at the beginning to the middle of the game, he fell behind unconsciously, and to be honest, Li Xiaoqiang has not figured out what is going on now. Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that if he and Li Shifo review now, they will definitely be able to find a lot of problems on both sides.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang thinks this is understandable, first of all, this is a rapid chess game, and it is difficult to demand a very high-quality game in a rapid chess game. The second one, that's naturally because it's a big win! The so-called "nameless game of chess since ancient times", this game of chess should be a good interpretation of this.

Li Xiaoqiang sat in his seat and reflected, but he completely forgot the reaction of the outside world, forgot that the flashing lights around him had sounded, and forgot that reporter Zhang Da and others had danced excitedly.

Li Xiaoqiang did it!

He really accomplished the feat of single-handedly taking on the "Four Heavenly Kings" of South Korea! He achieved a miraculous reversal! He helped the Chinese team win the trophy of the "Zhenlu Cup" for the first time!

This victory marks Li Xiaoqiang's strong comeback! It marks Li Xiaoqiang's return to the center of the world chess arena!

In the coming days, there will be a number of world competitions one after another, so Li Xiaoqiang's victory is precious. Li Xiaoqiang's victory is of great significance to both him and to Chinese Go.

"We'll see you next time in slow chess."

Li Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand to Li Shifo.

Li Shifo looked at Li Xiaoqiang and nodded slowly but firmly.

Li Xiaoqiang walked out of the game room, and heard reporter Zhang Da shouting from a distance.

"Reporter Zhang, in the first few games, you used Dugu Jiujian to describe Li Xiaoqiang's chess, so which move do you think he used today?"

"No, I don't think today's Xiaoqiang is like Ling Hu Chong, but more like Zhang Wuji."

"Huh? Zhang Wuji, why? ”

"Yes, today's Xiaoqiang is like Zhang Wuji who came out of the Qiankun bag at the top of the light, when the Qiankun bag exploded."

"What do you mean?"

"If you say that Li Xiaoqiang in the past, just like Zhang Wuji who just came out of the mountain, he has achieved his first miraculous skills, but he is inevitably jerky to use. But through these 4 games, he has mastered everything. ”

"He is like Zhang Wuji who came out of the Qiankun bag, he has already opened up the second vein of Rendu!"

Hearing reporter Zhang Da praise himself like this, Li Xiaoqiang smiled. In November 1996, Li Xiaoqiang was about to start a new journey. (To be continued.) )
