Chapter 218 Everyone is afraid of Li Xiaoqiang
The match between Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Dazhui continues. It was already past 3 p.m., and there were only 60 or so moves on the board. A typical pattern of "thick flavor versus speed" appeared on the chessboard. Although such a pattern is very common, it is only brought out by Li Xiaoqiang, especially if he chooses the "thick" side, which is very rare.
Due to the task of covering the competition, Zhang Zhidong also ran into the research room. He stared at the game for a while, and then sighed in a pretentious sigh:
"What's going on today? How did these two "violent elements" suddenly become so sven. Oops, I have a headache when I see this kind of kung fu chess. If they do this, when will it go? Today's reporting mission seems to be unfinished. Ma Xiao, you help me analyze and analyze, what is the current situation? ”
"Ha Luha, you all know that this game may be a fine chess, and the current situation is of course similar to both sides, and there is no good or bad for the time being. However, looking at this trend, these two violent elements will have a fight sooner or later. It may not be possible to decide the winner soon. ”
"I feel that Xiaoqiang played too cautiously today, his chess is obviously so thick, and he is still there desperately to strengthen himself. Isn't he afraid that he is too far behind? Well, it is estimated that I was scared of being beaten by a sledgehammer in the last game of chess. Ha Luha, Xiao Qiang, a militant, used to be afraid of times. ”
At this time, Qian Yuping, who had been carefully observing the chess game, spoke:
"Do you think Xiaoqiang will be afraid of fighting? On the contrary, black is a build-up of energy for the rest of the battle. In such a situation, it should be that Sledgehammer is afraid of fighting. No, it's not that he's afraid of fighting, it's just that he has to fight. It is precisely because of this that white also behaves cautiously on the board. ”
"Well, I seem to understand a little bit when you say that. Hahaha, no matter what, this game of chess is so strong that the sledgehammer doesn't dare to fight him. Is this a strategic success? ”
Indeed, for an amateur master like Zhang Zhidong, this truth is very simple. On the chessboard, there is only one condition for judging whether "battle" is advantageous or not, and that is the thickness of the chess. Li Xiaoqiang played this game of chess "very thick", judging from the simplest chess theory, if there is a war, it should be black chess.
Although Liu Dazhui is a strong man in the Chinese chess world, most Chinese chess players are also very particular about chess theory in this era. He is belligerent. It does not mean that he will "fight unreasonably". What's more, he now has to fight.
Everything has two sides, Li Xiaoqiang's black chess "plays very thick", so in terms of real-space comparison, black chess has fallen behind a lot. If there is no battle on the board, the further the game progresses, the lower the "thick" value of black's "thickness". "Thick taste" has no chance to be transformed into real empty words. The pressure on black to fall behind will increase.
In the same way as the "power and quantity" in Go, many players show different characteristics. Liu Dazhui, as a "force and quantity chess player", his greatest advantage. It is to be good at finding the most correct way to play in a complex situation. For example, the game of chess he and Li Xiaoqiang played last year. In a large-scale battle with a lot of clues and a large scene, he played a chess game that was praised by Nie Whirlwind as "having eleven dan levels". It's not uncommon to see moves like this in his games. He has a lot of power. The main thing is that it is manifested in this regard.
This kind of chess is dignified and upright, and it is the representative of "zheng" in Go. It gives people a very "sunny" feeling, and the ancient Dali of later generations is almost the same way. Except for this kind of "decent master", like Li Shishi. The power point is extremely weird, and it often exerts force in unexpected places. It gives the feeling of "violating the rules of chess". Such people are called "cult masters".
Of course, Li Shishi's chess is not really a "violation of chess theory". It's just that his "chess theory" was known only to him for a long time. The average person can't understand it. It belongs to the non-mainstream of the Go world.
In addition to these two, there is also a kind of "power master". It seems that it should be regarded as "both good and evil". The representative figure is Cao Yanzi of South Korea. Cao Yanzi is a "speed type", so his chess is often "thin". Under normal circumstances, "thin chess" is not conducive to combat. But he often took the initiative to attack "thick" with "thin". In fact, most people know his thoughts, which is nothing more than "attacking instead of defending". But he often succeeds, and what is this for? The biggest reason is that Cao Yanzi is good at creating all kinds of situations on the chessboard. In the overall situation, his chess is "thin", but in the local senses, because he uses all kinds of clues, it is often he who "fights advantageously". On the whole, he is "against the rules of chess", and locally, he is "in line with the rules". Therefore, he is said to be "both good and evil". This is a very high Go talent.
Strictly speaking, Ma Xiaofei is actually a chess player of this type. It's just that Ma Xiaofei's official is also very good, only one line worse than Li Shifo. He didn't "fight" with others on the chessboard many times. Therefore, no one classifies him as a "force and weight player".
The "amount of force" in Go is by no means as simple as "calculation". This is a highly demanding comprehensive quality.
As a "warmonger", what type of Li Xiaoqiang is?
"Tsk, it's too honest, white is too honest. This is not the Liu Da Hammer I know at all! ”
In the research room, Zhang Zhidong shook his head and commented there. In his opinion, this kind of chess is not Liu Dazhui's style of chess at all. Although on the whole, "white chess is not good", Liu Dazhui is not only "powerful", he is also a militant. When he can choose between "smooth" and "combat", he will basically choose to fight. Such a cautious "battle avoidance" as this game is rarely seen in his games.
"Hehe, there's a reason why this brute bull avoids fighting. It can even be said that white chose very wisely. Hey, I really don't understand, after the New Year, how did this wild bull suddenly become smarter. I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out......"
Ma Xiaofei was also shaking his head there, and he was also judging there. As long as he speaks, he will definitely not forget to "damage" Liu Dazhui by the way.
"For what reason, just because the war is unfavorable, so he avoids the war? This is unlikely, Sledgehammer is known as the "Hero of Trouble", is this a random call? If this is the case, then when playing against him, everyone chooses this way of playing, then his strength is not where there is no place to play. ”
"Huh. The truth on the chessboard is one reason, and this is not the main thing. The most important thing is to start with the characteristics of Xiaoqiang's chess style. This wild bull chooses such a play, which can be said to be a chess style specifically aimed at Xiaoqiang. That's why I say his choice is smart. ”
Now Zhang Da reporter is interested:
"Oh? Tell me, what do you members of the national team think of Xiaoqiang's chess? What are the characteristics of his chess style? ”
"Xiaoqiang's current level is already very high, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to win a game of chess against him. It's just that he's still in a growing stage. In everyone's opinion, his characteristics are distinct, and his strengths and weaknesses are obvious. Not to mention his shortcomings, Sledgehammer chose this way. In fact, he just wants to restrain his advantages. ”
"What are the advantages of Xiaoqiang?"
"Didn't you say that Xiaoqiang was the "king of leaks" before? Hehe, his biggest advantage is actually picking up leaks. ”
"This ...... This, Ha Luha, are you praising him for being awesome, or are you criticizing him for his lack of skills, winning chess depends on picking up leaks, this doesn't sound like a good thing. ”
Ma Xiaofei's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Zhang Zhidong seriously:
"Of course I'm complimenting. When it first started. In fact, like everyone else, we think that he won some of his moves very lucky. Later, he won more chess like this, and we felt that this was an inevitable result. We found that, if analyzed specifically. Xiaoqiang's chess has a quality, an extraordinary quality. His understanding of "chess type" is different from ordinary people. I even think that he is more sensitive to the "chess type" than everyone thinks. His understanding of the quality of the "chess type". Even more than most of us. That's a great Go talent. ”
"Hehe, you can't be exaggerating too much, Japan's "aesthetic chess player" Mr. Otake once criticized Xiaoqiang's chess. Do you now say that Xiaoqiang has a deep understanding of chess patterns? This...... What's going on? Do all the members of the national team think so? ”
"Hehe, let me ask you first, in your mind, what is a good "chess type" and what is a bad "chess type"? What is the criterion for judging the quality of a "chess type"? ”
"This, this ......"
Reporter Zhang Da actually had a belly to say, but he couldn't say it. In this era, "chess type" is a very important issue in Go. It has been elevated to a very important point by the Japanese Go theory. Japanese Go has also summed up a variety of "good chess types", and everyone who learns Go has their own understanding of "chess types". Of course, reporter Zhang Da also has his own understanding. However, in front of a group of big masters, he is always embarrassed to say that "two and three" is considered a "good chess type".
Ma Xiaofei saw that Zhang Zhidong did not speak, and he continued to "teach" reporter Zhang Da:
"In Go, the counterpart to a good type is the "foolish type", and the good type represents high efficiency. Therefore, the criterion for judging the quality of a chess type is very simple, and the efficient chess is called a good chess type. Otherwise, it is stupid. When playing chess, we are often limited by all kinds of rules and regulations, have a variety of mindsets, and when playing chess, we are only pursuing good chess patterns, and often ignore efficiency. This is clearly a matter of prioritization. How to say it, this is actually another form of Ye Gong Haolong. In this regard, Xiaoqiang has done a particularly good job, which is his strongest point. I think he's terrible in this place. ”
"Yes, yes, I seem to have heard Xiaoqiang say that he said that the Japanese Go theory has a biased understanding of "sub-effect". Is the deviation he said right here? ”
At this time, Qian Yuping, who had been beside him, said:
"I don't know if that's the case. I only know that Xiaoqiang is very sensitive to the quality of chess style. Most of his so-called whimsical ideas start from this kind of place. For example, when he won the game against Mr. Awaji in the ring, after Mr. Awaji made that "small tip", we all thought that it was a very normal move, and that move was a good move from any point of view. Only Xiaoqiang, he can start from the perspective of efficiency, and then find the flaws in that move. The most earth-shattering outcast...... Until now, Xiaoqiang's step of "two jumps" is still deeply in my mind. His ability to find flaws is truly superb. Being good at finding the flaws of the opponent on the board is actually a high level of Go talent. In the face of such an opponent, no matter who it is, it will be cautious. ”
"You have a feeling for that step two jumps, and I actually have more feelings for Xiaoqiang to win Yitian's first step of "touching". His move "touching" not only found out the flaws in Yitian's chess shape. What's more, the timing of his move was just right. Good means, when used at the most appropriate time, can often exert the greatest effect. ”
Ma Xiaofei continued to say to Zhang Zhidong:
"In addition to the ability to calculate, the mid-game battle in Go is nothing more than the understanding of the chess type and the judgment of the thickness. Saying a thousand words and ten thousand is light, heavy, slow, urgent, four words. Xiaoqiang is still a weakness in judging the truth and fiction, and in other aspects, that is his strength. Tell me, when encountering an opponent like him, does that brute bull need to be careful? ”
There was an interesting scene in the viewing room, Ma Xiaofei and Qian Yuping, these two young people who are known as the "double walls" of Chinese Go. In that meaty touting Li Xiaoqiang.
"Hahaha, listening to you say that, it seems to be true. I probably already know Xiaoqiang's idea of this game of chess. The fact that he played this game was not to say that he avoided the battle, but that he was always looking for an opportunity to fight. After the opponent shows his flaws, he can launch a thunderous blow. Sledgehammer clearly knew what he was thinking, so he had been dealing with it carefully. Am I right about that? In what direction will this game of chess develop? ”
"Although Xiaoqiang has a lot of ideas in this game of chess, I still don't think about him. This bull is in very good shape this year, and if this pattern continues, the pressure on the black chess space will increase. The use of thick power is not so easy to master,"
"Hehe, is that really the case? Not necessarily, I'm afraid. ”
"Oh? Do you have a different opinion on the big money? Tell me about it, and let everyone hear your opinion. ”
"I've always believed that Xiaoqiang is not only sensitive to chess patterns, but he is also sensitive to the number of moves. For a long time, this advantage of him has been ignored by everyone. This merit of his is concealed in his dazzling means. If this game continues like this, let's take a good look at his talent in this area. ”
"Haha......ha
At this time, Zhang Zhidong suddenly laughed inexplicably.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Listening to your words, it seems that everyone is afraid of Li Xiaoqiang, okay, I admit that Xiaoqiang is a genius. But you have to be reliable in praising him. He can't be so powerful now. ”
"Haha......ha
In the game room, the whole game continued seemingly uneventful. At 4 p.m., the game was played about 100 moves. Since Liu Dazhui deliberately "avoided the battle", the focus of this game of chess became the competition for the number of goals.
Li Xiaoqiang patiently waited for his opportunity. (To be continued......)
