After the afternoon game began, both sides returned to the playing room. The two worked hard for the title of "celebrity" in China.

After more than 1 hour of the afternoon game, the game was already in the middle game. The two sides played more than 80 chess moves. Of course, the two sides of the game are racking their brains for victory, and at this time, the atmosphere in the viewing room is a bit strange.

By the afternoon, there were a few more players in the viewing room. Since the Tianyuan Tournament started immediately, chess players like Cao Dafang and Qian Yuping from Shencheng also came to the arena in advance. At this time, they all poured into the viewing room. In addition to these players, of course, there are also quite a few Go reporters, including Yamada Tsumiko.

There were a lot of people in the viewing room, and everyone was also putting all kinds of changes on the chessboard. However, during this time, there don't seem to be many people talking. Most of the chess players in it even had a confused expression.

That's right, it's confusion! If the morning was just a disappointment, it was normal. Everyone's disappointment is just that the situation is too bland and not enjoyable enough. I didn't see the expected hot scene.

But when you think about it, you don't think it's a big deal. After all, this game will determine the "celebrity" position. The stakes are significant, and it is understandable that both sides of the game should be cautious and careful. Besides, the chess game is dull, but the chess of both sides can be regarded as a decent game. At least in concrete terms, they are beyond reproach.

But the afternoon was different, although everyone didn't talk much, many chess players showed a confused expression, looking at each other on that side.

"Old Chen, why did you run out too?"

"Hehe, why can't I understand the next chess? So I couldn't sit still in the game room. How's that, what's the opinion in the lab? These tricks behind them, I look so awkward......"

It was less than 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Chaoyue, the referee of this game, also ran into the viewing room. In this era, Chen Chaoyue can also be regarded as the "head" of Chinese Go. When the "Mass Daily" invited him to be the referee of the game. There are many people in the chess world who even joked that this "Mass Daily" is really looking for the right person, and to serve as the referee of this game, Chen Chaoyue is the most suitable one.

In any case, such a game can be regarded as the top competition in the country. With the head of the chess world as the chief referee, the identity is definitely appropriate. The identity issue is secondary, and what is more interesting is that because it is Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Dazhui who enter the final, and Chen Chaoyue serves as the referee, this combination makes people feel very compatible.

In the Chinese chess world. Chen Chaoyue is an expert in the older generation. As for Liu Dazhui, in some ways, he has a lot of similarities with Chen Lao's chess style. Because of the similar chess style, the two of them are particularly close to each other.

In later generations, before Chen Lao died, the "Great Collection of Ancient Chinese Genealogy" compiled by him had not yet been finalized. And he didn't look for anyone else, so he specifically instructed Liu Dazhui, hoping that Liu Dazhui could "take another look" and "see if there was anything missing". He hopes that Liu Dazhui will be able to fulfill his last wish. Just from this detail. I know how close they are.

And Li Xiaoqiang is not to mention. In this era, for the chess players of Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu. The management of the Go world can only be described by the word "doting". All of them are very precious. Today, when it comes to the new generation of Chinese Go. The term "Eight Horses" is also appearing more and more in various media. As the "leader", Li Xiaoqiang enjoys treatment that several generations of Go people can't enjoy.

The management is "doting" on Chang Rensheng. For Li Xiaoqiang, it can be described by the word "indulgence". For example, Li Xiaoqiang can go back to his hometown at will, and only he can enjoy such treatment. Chang Rensheng dared to propose to go home for two months to try? Coach Naro, they're going to be absolutely furious.

Except for this. Li Xiaoqiang's identity as a "descendant of ancient chess" also makes him unique. It's not that he's getting additional benefits in other ways. It's just that Li Xiaoqiang knows that he is his "fake identity". has made many older generation chess players pour a different kind of feelings into themselves......

Normal professional matches. The referee can run around as he pleases. The really boring ones should be those who keep notation. At this time, it is normal for Chen Chaoyue to appear in the research room.

Chen Chaoyue kept saying that he "couldn't understand". However, many other players in the viewing room knew it in their hearts. He said this politely, and his real feeling should be that the chess behind both sides was played poorly. That's right! He just thinks that both of them are very bad, so he is confused, so he will come here to take a look and see if other people's opinions are the same as his own.

"I also think it's strange, how do I feel that the more than 20 moves behind the two sides are not chess at all! Well...... Anyway, I haven't understood the latter changes yet. This...... What's going on? It seems unlikely that both of them went crazy together. ”

It was Cao Dafang Jiudan who said this, and he has always been known for his clarity in the Chinese chess world. Not only does he feel this way, but other chess players, including Ma Xiaofei, actually feel this way. That's why everyone is confused.

This is also a very normal thing. The so-called "nameless game of chess" means that in such a major game, due to high pressure, the player plays abnormally, and it is normal to play a few big moves that are out of standard. Even if both sides go in and out wrongly, it is not uncommon for them to play malfunctionally at the same time. But in everyone's opinion, today's game of chess, especially the recent 20-odd moves, can no longer be explained by "abnormality".

Chen Chaoyue walked to the chessboard, he took some of the pieces, and he pointed to a move from black. Facing Zhang Zhidong said:

"Xiao Zhang, I think the sledgehammer move, even if it appears in the "Evening Cup", I'm afraid it will be made fun of, right? What do you think......"

Chen Lao's words are a bit serious. Liu Dazhui is also a professional nine-dan in this way, and he is one of the top 5 in Chinese Go. Listening to Chen Chaoyue's meaning, Liu Dazhui's move is not only amateur, but even in the eyes of amateur masters, this move is a bad move.

Reporter Zhang Da actually agreed with Chen Lao's statement in his heart. He also thought that the move was not a good move, but on such an occasion, it was obviously not suitable for him to speak, so he had to vaguely pass through. Only the simple Qian Yuping didn't think so much, only to see him frowning. An expression of incomprehension:

"Yes, when I first saw this move, I was also very surprised. Alas, I really can't figure it out, it's obviously just a matter of the direction of attack, Sledgehammer is obviously a master of this way, how could he make such an amateurish mistake. This is obviously unreasonable...... Look again, look again, is there any other mystery in this? ”

After restarting the game in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang implemented his ideas during the lunch break. It was decided to use Cao Yanzi's "soft breeze and quick grab" approach. to deal with Liu Dazhui. This kind of play is actually to race to the first step by step, hoping to fight fast and slow, and unconsciously make up for your own flaws. For a time, Li Xiaoqiang did this. Don't really say it, just for a while, Li Xiaoqiang really had the taste of "sprinkling beans into soldiers".

In the viewing room, the focus of the problem appears on the left side of the board. In this place. Originally, it was considered the range of potential power of white. Since Li Xiaoqiang took the initiative to attack, he "broke in" in this place. After a brief thought, he chose to release the black pieces to attack. Since black simply breaks some meshes, this entry is not too harsh. White only needs to attack simply. can be compensated elsewhere.

But among them, Liu Dazhui's move was questioned by the research room. What everyone is questioning is the so-called "direction of attack" in Go.

On the left side of the board. Since black broke some of the empty pieces of white. Then with the idea of "equivalence conversion", black must profit from the attack, then the simplest judgment. When the new piece of black is fully settled, white must get the same number of eyes. In this way, the "two points" situation can be maintained. When there is not enough interest, white will not let black settle easily. This should be the most normal train of thought.

With this line of thinking, then things are easy to do. When white attacks, there is a "direction" problem that needs to be considered first. In the current situation, the top of the chessboard is considered the "potential force range" of black chess, and the bottom of the chessboard, although there is no very complete external potential force, but the sub-force of white chess is still a little more, which is regarded as the potential force range of white chess.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, black must be "driven" to the bottom of the board, so that black is no problem although it is alive. But to be alive, the process will be longer, so it will be easy for white to gain enough interest on the periphery.

To be honest, although this "attack flow" problem is very illusory, it is not at all difficult. As long as you have a certain strength, you will not make a mistake even if you are an amateur high-level. This is especially true for professional chess players, which is the most basic "professionalism". Even if you play "abnormally", this so-called "professional feeling" will not be lost.

In this game of chess, it is this move that Liu Dazhui is questioned. He didn't "rush" the black disc downward. At this point, he seemed to be going in the wrong direction.

"yes, what does sledgehammer mean? How could he go home with black so easily? I really don't understand, it's like a robber who comes to your house to rob money, and the money is robbed by others, not only do you not snatch the money back, but you send them home in the middle of the road. Do you ever play chess like this......"

"Hey, I really can't understand this chess, even if one person goes crazy, why are two people crazy at the same time? This Xiaoqiang is really good, and everyone is sending him home with a sledgehammer. Why didn't he see the same? Not only did he not go home happily, but he also desperately drilled under the chessboard. You see, Xiao Qiang would rather play such a vulgar hand than run in that direction. What the hell is going on? ”

That's right, this is where everyone is most confused, if one person makes a mistake, forget it. However, Li Xiaoqiang's move is also very abnormal, he seems to be blind to the "sandwich farewell" of black chess, as if he regards this road as a daunting path. I have to go in the other direction. Among them, he did not hesitate to make vulgar moves, and he did not hesitate to "lose", and he also wanted to flee in the other direction......

When encountering such a thing, Chen Chaoyue's face was a little unsightly. Even the faces of the staff of the organizer "Mass Daily" are a little unsightly. Indeed, such a game is the highest level of competition in China. It is to decide the ownership of Chinese "celebrities". Even the Japanese Go media sent special Go reporters to report.

Now, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. But if the quality of the game is so low, even the quality of the "Evening Cup" is inferior. So the "celebrities" produced in this way seem to be a bit too much to say. It's not that you can't make mistakes in this kind of game, but if it's all amateur mistakes. All professional chess players will be embarrassed.

At this moment, everyone consciously or unconsciously re-studied the chess game. I want to find a reason for this anomaly.

Long. Ma Xiaofei, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke. At this moment, he let out a long breath, and he even let out a sigh of emotion:

"Tsk, it's amazing, it's amazing. I really didn't expect these two to play at such a high level. Hehe, just with this game of chess, it seems that I was eliminated by that brute bull, and it is not wronged......"

Without waiting for others to express their confusion. Ma Xiaofei quickly placed a reference diagram, in this reference diagram. The last move is a brilliant move. He lightly placed the last sunspot on the chessboard. He spoke softly, without superfluous words:

"I think all the moves that seem to be abnormal can be explained by this move of "squeezing". ”

That's right, Ma Xiaofei did find the answer.

Since both of them are very abnormal, let's analyze it with the most "normal" thinking. When Liu Dazhui made an "abnormal" move, then according to the most normal way of thinking, should Li Xiaoqiang happily take his chess pieces home? Ma Xiaofei followed this line of thought to find out the reason.

Suppose Li Xiaoqiang contacts home. Although there are many lots in this, the changes are not complicated. As long as more than 10 moves are played, Li Xiaoqiang's black chess seems to be able to go home clearly.

Of course. This "clear" is just an illusion, this is because Liu Dazhui has a wonderful hand waiting for him to "squeeze"!

In the research room, when Ma Xiaofei discovered this move. Everyone is savoring this trick. At this moment, everyone was smiling and enjoying that pleasant mood. Of course. As long as it's someone who really likes Go. When he saw a shocking hand, he must be in a happy mood. It doesn't matter if the move appears in the official game or in the laboratory.

"Wonderful, ha, this move is wonderful! It turns out that there is such a clever move hidden here. Tsk, the sledgehammer is so powerful, I think he should have already figured out this trick, otherwise his previous move would not have been explained. ”

At this moment, Zhang Zhidong also understood this move. As a staunch "little strong fan", he also showed no weakness, and he laughed in Naha:

"Hahaha, the sledgehammer is powerful, but Xiaoqiang is just as powerful. I can assure you that he's done it too. He was able to avoid the trap. Alas, it's a pity that this trick didn't appear in actual combat...... No, no, no, the magic that didn't appear in this step really reflects their awesomeness. Hahaha, our magazine is explaining this move in detail. Be sure to list this reference diagram. Be sure to introduce this trick to the majority of chess fans......"

What kind of trick is this?

All this, in fact, is related to the "aftertaste" on the chessboard. Li Xiaoqiang also attached great importance to the "taste" there, so he dodged Liu Da Hammer's clever blow.

Liu Dazhui made an "abnormal" move. Li Xiaoqiang, who was highly concentrated, was of course aware of the danger. If you just want to make contact, then black only needs to take advantage of the situation and respond with a few more discs in that direction. In the upper left corner of the board there is a brilliant hand that "squeezes" in one step. Of course, this move is very hidden, because the move itself is considered a "vulgar move", and if there is no other effect, the move itself is also a "loss". But it's because of the existence of this move. Let that little "aftertaste" of white become a real hole in black. White can turn the tide on the board. It can break the big gap of black in one fell swoop. Such a result is something Li Xiaoqiang can't stand no matter what.

Of course, it is not easy for white to do this. "Aftertaste" is a condition, and the discovery of a good hand is a condition, and there is also a condition, that is, there must be a response from the periphery. Li Xiaoqiang didn't dare to run in that direction, just to eliminate the response of the periphery. In this way, the "riot" of white is not established.

When everybody figures this out. Then all doubts are reasonably explained. Everyone continued to study deeply, and even found that Liu Dazhui's playing method should be the best way to play this situation.

Any other seemingly "normal" way of playing is not as good as his play!

"Ma Xiaoma, you help us analyze and analyze, how is the current situation?"

"Hehe, although the current situation is relatively subtle, it should be a little better for the white chess of the sledgehammer."

"Oh? For what? I think Xiaoqiang is also playing very well. You see, he dodged all the traps that were so hidden. ”

"That's right, Xiaoqiang is also very powerful, he has found the best way to play in this place. However, due to the good hand of white. In this period of offensive and defensive battles, he still suffered a small loss due to his scruples in chess. Tsk, that brute bull is really powerful, in such a contact battle, he is indeed extraordinary. Of course, he was in great form today. ”

"Oh? Sledgehammer will finally become the first celebrity in China. Do you think so? ”

"Hahaha, I didn't say that. True, the current situation is that white is a little better, but very limited. Sledgehammer is in good shape, but Xiaoqiang is in even better shape. It's amazing that he can even dodge such a trap! If I had to evaluate it, I would say that white is good, but black is better. ”

"White is good, black is better? I said Ma Xiao, don't you think your words are contradictory? ”

"Haha

Ma Xiaofei looked at Zhang Zhidong with a smile:

"If nothing else, the last critical point of the game is coming. Just take a closer look and see if what I say makes sense. ”

Zhang Zhidong once again set his sights in the direction of the game room.

In the game room,

The final war to decide where the "celebrity" belongs is coming soon! (To be continued......)
