Due to the interview, Li Xiaoqiang walked into the game room a little later than usual. After walking into the game room, he found that Liu Changhe had made all the pre-game preparations, Li Xiaoqiang smiled apologetically, and Liu Changhe also smiled and said hello to Li Xiaoqiang, and then the two sat opposite each other and waited quietly for the game to start.

There were still a few minutes before the game, and taking this opportunity, Li Xiaoqiang forgave the famous beautiful man in the Korean chess world opposite. "The No. 1 attacker in the world", "Jade-faced Langjun", in addition to these titles, Liu Changhe also has a relatively unique nickname, known as "Yi Jian Mei", which not only summarizes his handsome appearance, but also seems to hint at his arrogant and refined heart.

Born in the green forest, he never received formal training, and only turned from amateur to professional at the age of 18. As a classic example of an amateur player's successful transformation into a professional player, Yoo Chang-hyuk is a miracle in the Go world.

As the No. 3 person in the Korean chess world, Liu Changhe has been hidden behind Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo, seemingly inconspicuous, but in fact, Liu Changhe's status in the rivers and lakes must not be underestimated.

Later generations like to use the number of times to win the world championship round heroes, in real history, Liu Changhe's number of championships is only ranked behind Big and Small Li, Cao Yanzi and Gu Dali, ranking 5th in history, which shows his strength.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that in the entire world chess world, Liu Changhe is an assassin-like existence, and in his Go, any technical characteristics are secondary. He is stronger when he is stronger, and the more important the game, the more he can play, and the attribute of "giant killer" is most valued by Li Xiaoqiang, so to speak, Liu Changhyuk is a very important piece of the puzzle for South Korean Go to dominate the world chess world.

Until now, Yoo Chang-hyuk has held the title of the "throne" with the highest prize money in South Korean chess, and he can lose all the other games, but when it comes to this most important match. Li Shifo and Cao Yanzi took turns to attack, but they still couldn't shake him for half a point. Thinking of the real history, from 96 to 02 years in the heyday of Li Shifo, the most sure person to stop Li Shifo was actually Liu Changhe. A simple comparison of Yoo Chang-hyuk's win rate with other super chess players reveals that Yoo Chang-hyuk seems to be completely inadequate. But when it comes to major competitions. Everyone found out that the final winner would often be Yoo Chang-hyuk.

Li Xiaoqiang thinks: Such a phenomenon is actually Liu Changhe's biggest feature!

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, as many people have commented. Yoo Chang-hyuk's biggest shortcoming is his lack of stability. For example, in real history, Yoo Chang-hyuk blocked Lee Seok-fo from reaching the finals of the World Series several times, but who did he lose to in the finals? He lost to Yitian Jiji, lost to Wang Licheng, and lost to Yu Bin. Perhaps it was because of the impressiveness of his losses that he was also known as an "internationalist warrior".

"Today's game should be considered a major game, right? And me? According to my current status in the rivers and lakes, I should also be qualified to be valued by you, right? Since you said you have figured out a way to deal with me. Then I really want to learn about it. Let's see what strategy you've prepared......"

In Li Xiaoqiang's cranky thoughts, the referee announced the start of the game. After guessing first, Li Xiaoqiang held the white in this game of chess.

Liu Changhe, who took the lead in black, seemed to have been prepared, and he started quickly. When the fifth move of the game fell on the chessboard, Li Xiaoqiang glanced at his opponent in surprise.

"Triple Star". Yoo Chang-hyuk adopted the "triple star" layout, which was gradually declining.

"Is this what you're going to use against me?" Thinking of this, Li Xiaoqiang's hand stopped.

Li Xiaoqiang can't be blamed for being surprised. In the current professional chess world, the "triple star" that has been prevalent since the 80s does have a tendency to gradually decline. It's hard to say why, because the popular layout routines in Go would have been like a woman's skirt. Trends are always in bursts. However, the decline of the "triple star" in recent years still has a context to follow.

The first reason. That's naturally related to Mr. Takemiya. Masaki Takemiya is the signature character who uses the "Triple Stars", whether it is the "Triple Stars" that achieves Masaki Takemiya, or the Masaki Takemiya who achieves the "Triple Stars". It's hard to tell. But that's the way it is in professional Go, any popular layout must have a good score as the foundation. The pinnacle of the "Triple Star" appeared at the end of the 80s, when Masaki Takemiya won two consecutive Fujitsu Cup championships. He won two sets in a row against Mr. Lin Haifeng in the final. Indeed, it is also a classic of "cosmic flow".

But 5 or 6 years have passed, and Mr. Takemiya is far from the peak, and now even his results are not good, so it is normal that the "three consecutive stars" have not been implemented.

The second reason, Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that the decline of the "triple star" is likely to have something to do with himself.

In real history. That is, in the current period, there are several masters in the professional chess world who have cracked the "cosmic flow", among which the most outstanding representatives are Li Shifo and Ma Xiaofei. They are very experienced in dealing with the "triple star", and they also have different characteristics.

The main characteristic of Li Shifo is naturally to rely on his precise "control flow" method to suppress the "triple star". To put it bluntly, Li Shifo is to give full play to the principle of "golden horn and silver edge grass belly", he never moves his anger when dealing with the "cosmic flow", but slowly surrounds the opponent, so that under his precise control, the side around the "grass belly" always suffers, and many chess players are at a loss for his play, which is a unique feature of Li Shifo.

Ma Xiaofei's method is slightly different, you must know that Ma Xiaofei is practicing "light skills". He moves lightly and elegantly, so when he is dealing with the "Three Consecutive Stars", he can't hold him at all. Therefore, he is also very experienced in dealing with the "triple star".

But in this world, it is different, and the current professional chess world is recognized that the most effective way to deal with the "cosmic flow" is Li Xiaoqiang. As a reborn, he actually borrowed the ideas of Li Shifo and Ma Xiaofei when dealing with the "cosmic flow". Indeed, his "control flow" is definitely not as accurate as Li Shifo, and his "light skills" are definitely not as elegant as Ma Xiaofei. But Li Xiaoqiang is better in the all-round, and Li Xiaoqiang also has his own specialty, that is, his arithmetic is more profound. "Cosmic flow" is a very power-oriented play, because once there is a big pattern, it is likely to cause a fierce battle, and the chess player without strength will put on a "triple star" that is also a showcase.

It is precisely because Li Xiaoqiang is well-rounded that he can deal with any situation on the chessboard, so everyone recognizes him as the most difficult.

In recent years, Li Xiaoqiang has not fought with Mr. Wu Gong. But there are also other chess players who practice "triple star" with Li Xiaoqiang. Whenever this situation occurs, Li Xiaoqiang's winning rate is extremely high.

It's no secret, the games are all open. Li Xiaoqiang thinks: It is impossible for Liu Changhe not to know this. But in today's game, he didn't even want to put on a "triple star" first. A look of confidence, a look of "I'm not afraid of you at all". When encountering this situation, Li Xiaoqiang naturally had to think about it.

"Surprise? In a way, your surprise is indeed very successful. When I was preparing for the game, I really didn't think you'd use a triple star against me. But do you underestimate me too much, do you think you're going to get me in trouble? If you can't come up with any new moves, then your triple star is also just a showman......"

Li Xiaoqiang gathered his thoughts, and he began to slowly maneuver with his opponent. Li Xiaoqiang made up his mind, today is to respond to all changes with the same, he wants to see what tricks Liu Changhe can conjure.

Step by step, the game continues. During the 2 hours of play in the morning, the two sides played more than 40 chess moves, which was neither fast nor slow, and the moves of both sides were normal, so there was nothing to say.

The game entered the afternoon. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese Chess Academy in Tokyo.

For today's two "Fujitsu Cup" semi-finals, the Japanese Chess Academy will naturally arrange a hanging game to explain, and today's speaker happens to be Mr. Masaki Takemiya. As soon as Mr. Takemiya saw the layout of this game, his hearty laughter resounded throughout the hall where the game was explained, and he said to the Japanese chess fans below:

"As you know, I didn't have a position on this set. Before I came, I would have preferred China's Li Xiaoqiang. Mr. Xiuyuki once said that the Go of the "chessboard wizard" is actually a kind of "cosmic flow", a deeper "cosmic flow"! His chess is varied, like the vastness of the universe. To be honest, this sentence made me a little uncomfortable, but I strongly agreed with Mr. Hideyuki's point of view. Li Xiaoqiang's chess is indeed changeable, which makes people agree. However, when I see today's game, I still want to make it clear to everyone that I support Mr. Yoo Chang-hyuk of South Korea, as the defending champion, Mr. Yoo is also a very great chess player. And he used my favorites today, so I really want to know what he will do with my beloved "Triple Star" ......"

At about the same time, the capital, the Chinese Chess Academy, and a number of national players were also paying attention to this game.

"Haha, the "Jade Mask Killer" actually practiced "Triple Star" with Xiaoqiang? I don't think he's looking for death. Facts have proved that anyone who poses a "triple star" in front of Xiaoqiang is actually more like a showcase, and Xiaoqiang has too many ways to deal with this kind of thing. Could it be that Yoo Chang-hyuk could have an accident......"

In a mood of optimism, everyone continues to focus on this game. As it turns out, there really seems to be a bit of an accident today.

At more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the chess game played more than 60 moves, and everyone felt that Liu Changhyuk's black chess was "successfully laid out".

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 80 moves were made in the chess game, and everyone felt that Liu Changhyuk's black chess had gained a certain advantage.

By around 4 p.m., the game had reached more than 100 moves, and everyone's expressions had become a little grim because everyone suddenly found out...... Liu Changhyuk's black chess, the advantage seems to have been more obvious.

What's going on?

In the game room in Osaka, Li Xiaoqiang's hand stopped again. He started the longest long exam in the game. (To be continued......)
