"Tsk, Xiaoqiang, you are really a monster, you dare to play such a chess game. , this chess was really won by you in the end. Can't figure it out, can't figure it out......"

In a training room of the China Chess Academy, reporter Zhang Da shook his head while saying such things.

This is a gap between the Toyo Securities Cup and this stage of the competition. Wait until the top 8 are all over, with a rest day in between, before the semi-finals begin.

Generally speaking, the more the World Series progresses, the more tense the atmosphere tends to be. But it's different in the game of chess. Before the start of the chess competition, since it is not a "one-shot deal", there seems to be a buffer room. In this way, before the official start of the game, there is a lack of that particularly tense atmosphere.

For example, now, because Li Xiaoqiang played a very beautiful "dragon slaying game" in the top 8. So from the perspective of Go magazine, this game definitely needs to be commented on in detail in the magazine. Therefore, he took advantage of this gap in the game, he hoped that Li Xiaoqiang would put this game of chess with him again, and he would also have a few more reference pictures in the magazine to explain this game of chess more clearly.

For this request of reporter Zhang Da, Li Xiaoqiang will definitely not refuse. Because in this game of chess, although Li Xiaoqiang succeeded in slaying the dragon in the end. But there are a lot of changes, and it is also very complicated, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't think that he has figured it all out, as a professional chess player, if he has this opportunity to re-analyze, then he will definitely not refuse.

Of course, a chess game like this will definitely not be Li Xiaoqiang reviewing it alone. If this is the case, Li Xiaoqiang estimates that he will not have anything new.

Things did not surprise Li Xiaoqiang. When he summoned Chang Rensheng and Luo Shen Pig to study this game of chess. Everyone really helped Mr. Seo Bong-so find a lot of tricks to resist stubbornly. Although there are many tricks that may not be valid, Li Xiaoqiang also honestly admits that he really didn't take these changes into account in that one-hour long test. In other words, if these changes really occur in actual combat, then it depends on Li Xiaoqiang's on-the-spot performance. He is also in danger of missing.

Wait until everyone's research is over. Reporter Zhang Da lamented the profundity of Go, of course, he would also have a burst of fear. That's why he teased Li Xiaoqiang in such a tone.

"Hehe, what's wrong with this? That's what Go is. No one should be able to figure out all the changes. If the opponent really makes a good move, it will mean that my level is not as good as others, and I deserve to lose. But didn't I win this game in the end? This means that my opponent will not be better than me when it comes to the depth of calculation. Therefore, the next time I meet Lao Xu, I still have to do this. Let's see who's afraid of whom. ”

Because there are no outsiders in this way, Li Xiaoqiang put on a cowhide coax and said such a thing. But then again, this is really Li Xiaoqiang's sincere words. The reason why Li Xiaoqiang "blackmailed" Mr. Xu Bongsu was not that he had a grudge against others. How do you say that?

"Since you obey him so much, then I also hope that you can obey me......"

Li Xiaoqiang estimated that it was probably out of this mentality that he made himself particularly energetic.

It must be admitted. In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, he has always listed Li Shifo as his strongest potential opponent. Therefore, what the opponent can do, Li Xiaoqiang hopes that he can also do it. The opponent used his unique skills to convince Lao Xu, so Li Xiaoqiang also hopes to show his strongest point to convince Lao Xu.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang believes that his thoughts and practices are actually very normal. Of course, for Li Xiaoqiang's thoughts. He is the only one who knows. In normal times, although he was also in Chang Rensheng, they repeatedly emphasized Li Shifo's awesomeness. However, according to Li Xiaoqiang's character, even if he has long regarded Li Shifo as his strongest opponent, at least on the surface, he will definitely not show timidity. What's more, the current Li Shifo has not made Chinese Go feel the pain of the skin. Therefore, no one knows what Li Xiaoqiang thinks at present.

Li Xiaoqiang even hopes that no one will ever know the idea buried in his heart.

"Okay, since you won, you can brag about it, this time it's okay for you. So I would like to ask you, what are you going to do against Mr. Kato in the next semi-finals? ”

"Hehe, it's easier to deal with Mr. Kato, let me reveal my plan. If you want to beat Mr. Kato, don't you need to win two games this time? So in my mind, I'm looking forward to one of the games being a fight against violence with violence, and whose fists are harder? It's best to win a set by slaying a dragon as well. On the other hand, I expect to fight with Mr. Kato, and in the end, I won't win more or less. What do you think? Let's talk about it, is the winning game plan I designed like this enough to pull the wind? ”

"Hahahaha, the boss is mighty......"

"Black! I'm just now realizing that our boss is so black! If you really want to do this, how can you say it in the words of the boss? It also makes it enjoyable to play......"

In this training room, a group of members of the national junior team were amused by Li Xiaoqiang's "bold words". Indeed, Li Xiaoqiang's idea is indeed a bit "vicious". As everyone knows, Mr. Masao Kato, as a veteran super-class chess player in Japan, also enjoys a good reputation in the world chess world.

In the early years, Mr. Kato stood tall in the Japanese chess world as a "executioner". Therefore, at that time, he had nicknames such as "Heavenly Star" and "Butcher". To be honest, there are not many players who can have such a nickname in the Go world, which shows that this player has a style of chess, at least it proves that this player is particularly powerful.

When Mr. Kato entered middle age, his chess style seemed to change again. Get delicate. Therefore, in the current era, Mr. Kato has several more nicknames on his head, such as "Kanko Kato" or "Hanmu Kato" and so on.

Therefore, it can be considered that from the perspective of Go technology, Mr. Kato's strongest point of skill is actually his strength and official strength. And what about what Li Xiaoqiang said just now? He seemed to mean that he was going to knock out the other person in the strongest part. For this kind of seemingly obviously arrogant words. It's no wonder that Chang Rensheng and the others were so happy that they leaned forward and leaned back one by one.

"Boss. I have one more question that I can't figure out. Everyone knows that Mr. Kato's official skills are very good, and everyone has the impression that the Korean official is also very good at kung fu. So in your mind, is there any difference between their official kung fu? Or, which of their official kung fu do you think is more powerful? ”

Just when everyone gets together and has a good time bragging about it. I don't know who it is. coldly threw such a question to Li Xiaoqiang. When Li Xiaoqiang heard this question. Li Xiaoqiang put away his smile, and he fell into thought.

Yes, Li Xiaoqiang has actually been thinking about this question for a long time. In fact, until this time, Li Xiaoqiang has not completely figured it out. So he didn't know how to answer now.

This question, of course, is Li Shifo's "mystery of the official".

To be honest, the way to win is very unique. For example, like he is now, he has won set after set. Everyone knows that his official kung fu is very good, but everyone can't see where he won. It's actually a very strange thing.

For example, the current Li Xiaoqiang, of course, he knows better than anyone how powerful Li Shifo is. But when he is playing Li Shifo's chess game now, he can't find Li Shifo's obvious "winning moves". This is what makes Li Xiaoqiang very vigilant.

In Go, there are many "good moves" or "good moves" that are very easy to understand. For example, Li Xiaoqiang has won a lot of games now, and he has played some good games in many games. And the opponent didn't count this move, or didn't think of this change, so Li Xiaoqiang won the victory. But then again, after everyone sees Li Xiaoqiang's skill, everyone will soon understand what Li Xiaoqiang means. So from that point of view. At least everyone can know where Li Xiaoqiang won.

And what about Li Shifo's chess? Even in his strongest official kung fu, it is rare for people to see a brilliant hand. Each of his moves looks very unpretentious and very bland. But that's the case, he can also win game after game. This is very strange.

For this question, Li Xiaoqiang actually thought about it for a long time. Because Li Xiaoqiang knows that if he can't solve Li Shifo's "mystery of the official". Then he is very likely to lose in the long-distance competition with him. Of course, as Li Xiaoqiang's level gradually increases, he also has a little bit of his own experience in this problem, but he doesn't know if his idea is right.

In the theory of Japanese Go, there are two types of officials in Go: one is the so-called "judgment official", or "calculation official", and the other is "Tesuji official". The so-called "judgmental officials" are what we usually call "playing chess with their eyes on their eyes", distinguishing the size of the officials one by one, and then starting from the largest to the smallest. This is the so-called "judgmental official method". And the "Tesuji Official" is actually better understood, that is, to put the official in the middle of the board and desperately dig the means on the chessboard. This is also the law that has always been under the law.

In everyone's general understanding, it is believed that "Tesuji Official" is one level higher than "Calculation Official". This has long been recognized in the Japanese Go world. For example, in the early years of Japanese Go, there is such a very typical example, which seems to illustrate this problem.

“…… It is said that Mr. Takakawa Hidekaku was very careful in judging the situation from a young age, and at that time, he was the first chess player to use the method of calculation to judge the situation......"

“…… On the other hand, Mr. Sakata can be said to be a chess player who does not judge the situation at all. The two giants played fifteen times in the title match. Surprisingly, Mr. Takakawa only won once. actually lost fourteen times, "not sharing the sky" is probably the case. Seeing this number, Go enthusiasts who are old and know Takakawa and Sakata must have thought of it right away:

"Takakawa, who has a gentle chess style, will definitely not be able to get the razor Sakata ......"

“…… However, if you carefully study the chess games of these fifteen rounds, you will find that things are not so simple......"

“…… There is indeed a situation where the mid-game is killed, which is more eye-catching, so it is impressive. But in fact, Takakawa-sensei used his talents to play with Sakata-sensei. Mr. Takakawa was originally a force chessman. But he is not sharp, but put on the cloak of balance, or the concept of the overall situation, which is the so-called high river flow that does not compete for the first......"

“…… So why did he defeat it? Defeat in the final game. The set that was at the turning point in every title fight was mostly lost in the final game. Why is that? Just like judging the situation, Takakawa-sensei's ending also depends on calculations, and although Sakata-sensei also calculates, he actually uses tesuji to finish, and he fights until the end. Even if you don't let go of two eyes, this is the so-called insatiable tesuji ending, many people emphasize: The fundamental reason for Takakawa's defeat to Sakata is that "calculating the ending" cannot fight against "tesuji's ending" ......

The saying that "calculating the end" can't fight against the "tesuji finish" is actually a perception in the Japanese Go world. When Li Xiaoqiang told his teammates about this allusion, he continued:

"Mr. Kato's official son is strong, in fact, he is strong in his "tesuji ending", everyone says is not so? And Li Shifo's official, that's another matter, his official is difficult to define, if you have to choose a name, it may be more appropriate to call it a "compound official". ”

"Oh? What kind of official is this? ”

"Alas, Li Shifo's technique in the second half is like a huge abstract painting. His brain is like a remote sensing satellite, taking pictures of the dark unknown world at a speed of more than a dozen shots per second, and then integrating them into a clear map. Or, like a spy satellite can find a golf course, he can squeeze out the half-eyes of the concept of imaginary numbers on the chessboard......"

"Let's put it this way, his official position is not strong in his specific means. It's strong in his ability to permutate and combine. For him, no matter what kind of "calculation official" or what "tesuji official", he is actually out of the question. What he really does is that he can always find the most suitable way to play in different situations. He finishes with whatever he deserves, so it's always hard to see his subtlety to outsiders......"

He ...... Is his official really so powerful? ”

"I don't know if that's the case or not, anyway, let's keep watching, one day, everyone will know how powerful he is."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoqiang seemed to have lost his interest in talking. He was ready to leave the room.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Of course, it's to study how to break the "Tesuji official". If you can't even deal with the "Tesuji official", then the "compound official" is impossible to talk about......"

When Li Xiaoqiang leaves this room, his three-way chess with Mr. Kato will soon begin.

On the day of the game, Li Xiaoqiang walked into the arena again. What awaits him this time? (To be continued.) (。 ))
