Chapter 324: Before the Decisive Battle
Tokyo, Japan, the final scene of the 4th Fujitsu Cup. It is already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and in the game room, Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Zhao Zhixun are still fighting fiercely. The two sides fought from the beginning of the prologue stage, and the whole battle situation was extremely fierce and complicated.
At this point in the game, both sides want to try to dominate the entire fight. Therefore, a lot of time is invested in calculations and judgments. Mr. Zhao Zhixun entered the countdown early. But the shape on the chessboard still looks confusing, and it is far from the time to tell the winner.
Just now, Li Xiaoqiang seemed to have made another move that surprised his opponent. With this move, the whole situation has not actually become more complicated, but has a tendency to ease up a little. But when Mr. Cho saw this move, he didn't seem to be satisfied with the change. He was so annoyed that he even slapped himself in the face.
So what kind of chess did Li Xiaoqiang play? Can Mr. Zhao Zhixun feel so annoyed? If you look at the problem from the perspective of Mr. Cho Ji-hoon, it is easy to understand his feelings.
When the situation of "four dragons dancing together" began to appear on the chessboard. Mr. Zhao didn't actually find his chess difficult to play. As Nie Whirlwind analyzed, "empty long" in "Go" is also a kind of "thick". If you look at this part alone, because Li Xiaoqiang's two dragons look safer and look "thicker". Therefore, before this, there were many people who judged that "black chess is sufficient to fight".
But what about looking at the big picture? Due to the fact that there are many real empty pieces in white at present, Mr. Zhao will of course also think that he is "full of battles".
In this kind of chaotic situation, Mr. Zhao's thinking is actually not so complicated. He just needs to deal with two solitary pieces and not let his opponent take advantage of too many moves. If that's the case, then wait until the end of this local war. White's advantage in the real space will be apparent. But will things really turn out as expected?
In any case, the so-called "results" in Go must ultimately be measured by the number of meshes. As for anything like "bitter or not", that's just a superficial phenomenon. It's not the essence of Go. Mr. Cho Ji-hoon never cared about such a problem.
Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that according to Mr. Zhao Zhixun's chess style. This "bitter-looking" situation is what he likes the most. His favorite thing to do when playing chess is often such a "joy in the bitterness". Because in Mr. Zhao Zhixun's chess games, this kind of "looking bitter" scene can be seen everywhere, but the one who can have the last laugh is often himself.
In Go, "orphan control" is a very important topic. If you put aside those specific means. The idea is actually not complicated. For example, in today's situation, the so-called "governance of orphans" in white chess is nothing more than two ways: "working on the spot" and "even going home". Of course, due to the fact that in today's situation. The road to "even go home" is relatively long, which is not appropriate for today's occasion. In this way, white has only one way to "work on the spot".
In a special situation like today's, white is really willing to "work on the spot". Because if you can settle yourself early, it will mean the end of the whole mid-game battle. The sooner white settles, the less cheap black will get. In this way, white's advantage in the number of moves will be a headache for black.
Of course, it is not so easy for white to "work on the spot". In the vast majority of cases, the "code eye" of one's own grievances will definitely not work. Because this is an extremely inefficient way to play. As a white player, he must hold on to his opponent's lone move, and if he is able to force his opponent to play inefficient moves when he is in the "yard eye". Then if the two cancel out. This kind of chess can still be played.
Just now, Mr. Zhao Zhixun came along this line of thought. When he was "curing orphans", he was staring at the weakness of black. Especially the big dragon sandwiched between two white pieces. Because the big dragon of black chess itself is not completely alive. Therefore, it has become a tool for Mr. Zhao to "borrow strength".
Just now, Mr. Zhao Zhixun had just made a move. He threatens black at the same time. Trying to connect his two lone pieces. In Mr. Zhao's expectation, Li Xiaoqiang must respond to his own move. Because this move is extremely valuable. If black makes white contact. Not only can white become safer, but it can also play several fewer inefficient moves.
There is a very simple arithmetic problem here, a big dragon needs two eyes to work, so two big dragons need four eyes. Similar to this kind of "code eye" chess, no matter when you play, the efficiency is very low. Because one eye is also one eye chess. This is basically the least valuable piece of Go. This kind of chess can be played as little as possible.
Even if white takes a move to make contact, even if the move itself is a "single official". There is also no value, so replace two worthless hands with one worthless move. In this way, white is equivalent to making a move.
Through such an analysis, it can be seen that the value of this "liaison" is very great. Not only is it valuable, but it can also affect the overall thickness. Therefore, Mr. Zhao Zhixun does not think that Li Xiaoqiang will take the lead, he will definitely follow his own move, and he will continue to seek to cut off.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Xiaoqiang really took the lead in this place. He went elsewhere and played a move of great value. At this moment, it seems that he has given up on continuing to attack white. Therefore, at that moment, Mr. Zhao Zhixun, who had already entered the countdown, obviously did not turn the corner.
He slapped himself, not because he made a mistake, let alone because Li Xiaoqiang made any good moves. He just accused himself of not expecting Li Xiaoqiang to take the lead. He felt that he had not thought well enough in front of him, so he felt annoyed.
What's more, purely from the perspective of mesh, the value of Li Xiaoqiang's move just now is indeed very great. With that move, black's real space can also increase a lot. The gap between the two sides has also been almost evened. This is very painful for Mr. Zhao Zhixun, who is very "money obsessed", at this time. Mr. Zhao Zhixun's "money fan" is well-known in the industry, so he was a little out of shape for a while.
When playing Go, it's important to be flexible in your thinking. For example, in Go, you can regard "field" and "external potential" as "real" and "external potential" as "virtual". Then you must always pay attention to the transition between the virtual and the real. Seek the rhythm of playing chess in the virtual and the real. Like Li Xiaoqiang's move just now, it is the so-called:
Reality is born out of reality!
Of course, if Li Xiaoqiang is simply a short grab, then this move does not have such a deep connotation. If we relate the relationship between "thick" and "thin" in Go, then take into account the factors of "attack" and "control orphans" in Go. So Li Xiaoqiang's move, I'm afraid it's barely up to this standard, right?
With Li Xiaoqiang's move, not only the contrast between reality and space has changed. There will also be subtle changes in the overall thickness. What's more, with Li Xiaoqiang's move, the offensive and defensive relationship between the two sides seems to have reversed. Therefore, at this time, Mr. Zhao Zhixun is actually facing a very important choice.
In the previous period of time, Mr. Zhao was originally focused on defense. Because in this part, his chess is in a weak position, and he should not have thought about the problem of "counterattacking" at all. In his train of thought, he was just hoping for the lone piece that was entangled in black. Let yourself be able to settle down with two solitary pieces. So that he can be satisfied.
But now, Li Xiaoqiang seems to be suddenly unwilling to entangle with him. He gave up the initiative to attack. He switched to a different way of playing chess. In this way, Mr. Cho Ji-hoon was instead in a dilemma.
At this time, what should Mr. Cho Ji-hoon do?
Is it to follow Li Xiaoqiang's train of thought and give up the offensive and defensive battles here first? This is obviously not a no-go. In Go, there is also the so-called "one step ahead, one step ahead" problem. In the semi-finals, Li Xiaoqiang's victory over Mr. Kobayashi actually fully illustrates this phenomenon.
So ignore how Li Xiaoqiang played, and settle his two solitary chess pieces first. Can you make a move like this? If there is only one purpose, then Mr. Zhao Zhixun should not be able to make a move. If he makes another inefficient move, then he doesn't have to play this game. Just throw in the towel as soon as it's too late.
Therefore, at this time, Mr. Zhao Zhixun actually has not many choices. The only way he could do now was to turn around and attack black. Expecting to be able to profit from the attack is the right way to go. But now the problem arises. In front for a long time. Mr. Zhao only thinks about "curing orphans" and wants to turn a corner in such a period of time. Can he do it?
The game continues step by step. In the urging of the second countdown sound. Mr. Zhao plays frequently, and he is trying to change his thinking. He must now organize his own offensive.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, only about 120 moves were played in this game. It is at this time that the most crucial battle of the game is about to come.
Will Li Xiaoqiang be able to win this game? Everyone is looking forward to it. Whether it's on-site or off-site. Xiaoqiang looks at you...... (To be continued......)
