In the first "China-Korea Hand Match" tiebreaker competition, when the two sides spent 10 minutes copying the first 20 hands in the second game on the board, the speed of the two sides gradually slowed down. The overall situation was about 30 moves, and in the end, Li Xiaoqiang took the lead in changing his moves, combined with the post-game research experience of the second game, Li Xiaoqiang corrected his play. At this time, the two sides became more and more cautious, and by noon, the total number of hands on the board was less than 40.

At noon, reporter Zhang Da went out for something. By the time he re-entered the research room, the afternoon game had been going on for more than half an hour, and more than 40 chess moves had been played on the board. After he sat down on the chessboard again, reporter Zhang Da was happy when he saw it:

"It's ...... This floor is paved, this chess is too funny, the chessboard has a total of 4 sides, but a total of 6 "split two", look at this posture, the two of them seem to be ready to end from this time. ”

After listening to reporter Zhang Da's words, Chang Rensheng on the side said with a smile:

"There are only 6 "split two", which is not a lot. Do you remember the game that Hero Otake played against Kobayashi Koji a few years ago? The other people's plate has put out 7 "split two" ......"

Chang Rensheng is talking about a game of chess in Japan's "Celebrity Battle" challenge a few years ago, in which Hero Otake challenged Kobayashi Koji. That game of chess is very similar to the pattern of today's game, because the board is full of "split two", which is impressive, and the quality of that game is also very high, and finally the winner is divided by a very small margin, so it is jokingly called "the pinnacle of floor flow" by some chess fans.

"Hehe, people's plate is known as the pinnacle, so Xiaochang, what do you think will be like today?"

Chang Rensheng tilted his head and looked at the entire chessboard, and he thought for a while. Shaking his head and saying:

"I don't know, I don't know how to play this chess, this chess is too difficult to focus, it seems that you can play anywhere, and it seems that you can't play anywhere...... By the way, you should consult Mr. Ma for this chess. This situation is what he is best at. ”

When reporter Zhang Da and Chang Rensheng turned their eyes to Ma Xiaofei, Ma Xiaofei simply spread his hands:

"Don't look at me, since there is no correct solution to this chess, I don't even think about it. I think the best way is to honestly wait and enjoy the two of them. ”

Ma Xiaofei is right, most of the "floor-paving" chess has a characteristic that it is not easy to focus, which means that there is no special so-called "urgency" on the chessboard. For such a move, it is quite difficult to choose a chess player.

Let's use a simple analogy. Suppose there are two moves on the board, and the value of one move is 18 mesh, and the value of the other move is 15 mesh. Is it necessarily better to choose the move worth 18 meshes? Not necessarily. Because if you choose a move worth 18 meshes, your piece will be thinner overall, and if you choose that move worth 15 mesh, your piece may become a little thicker.

The number of meshes is easy to calculate, but the thickness of the chess is not so easy to quantify. Whether this subtle difference in thickness is worth a three-shot chess game is difficult for even the top players to judge.

For example, in the second set. Li Xiaoqiang encountered a similar choice. At that time, he chose 15 chess pieces to prepare to build an offensive, according to Li Xiaoqiang's judgment at that time. He thought he should be able to earn those three moves back in the attack, and even have a surplus. Unexpectedly, he didn't notice Li Shifo's combination punch, and Li Shifo easily defused Li Xiaoqiang's offensive. In this way, the 3 moves will become a real loss. This is also the main reason for Li Xiaoqiang's loss in the second game.

In the face of this pattern of flooring, if you want to grasp the proportions well, what is the most important talent?

This requires the legendary sense of balance!

This is what everyone agrees that Li Xiaoqiang is still lacking at present. This is also the choice of everyone to question Li Xiaoqiang. The main reason for worrying about him.

"Xiao Chang, you said that the key to this game of chess lies in the dozens of moves behind, right?"

Chang Rensheng nodded: "That's right, but that's not my opinion. I listened to the boss himself, and he said that if Li Shifo hadn't taken advantage of anything during this period, he would have been confident that he would win the final victory. ”

"Oh? Did Xiaoqiang really say this? ”

Chang Rensheng raised his head and smiled: "Yes, the boss was still chattering in front of us yesterday, saying that he was not afraid of Li Shifo's control, but only Li Shifo's sense of balance. ”

"I'm not afraid of control, I'm just afraid of balance, what do you mean......"

Ma Xiaofei on the side explained with a smile: "The sense of balance is mainly reflected in the transition stage from layout to mid-game, and the so-called control should be the most important embodiment in the official stage of Go." Haha, does Xiaoqiang mean to say: he is actually not afraid of Li Shifo's officials at all. If that's the case, then this game of chess really needs to be taken a good look at, but before that, Xiaoqiang should not suffer too much loss like the second game. ”

After saying this, everyone did not continue to chat, but focused on continuing to follow the progress of the game.

After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the number of chess players who came to the laboratory gradually increased. Liu Changhyuk and South Korea's Park reporter and others came, and Nie Whirlwind also led Gu Dali Kong Erjie and other members of the national youth team to come in to study.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 80 chess moves were played on the chessboard, and the chess game really entered the stage of big officials. During this period of about an hour, the laboratory also conducted a detailed study of the chess game. However, the two players seem to have played well during this time. Because from time to time there were bursts of admiration in the research room.

"Swing it well, you all have to swing it well, this chess is really a high chess game today......" Like this kind of voice to educate children, Nie Whirlwind has said it several times.

"Tsk, this Li Shifo is really a cow, it is really a subtle kung fu, no wonder Xiaoqiang is so jealous of him......" This is Ma Xiaofei's praise for Li Shifo.

"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable, really worthy of being a wizard on the chessboard. It's a pleasure to see such a subtle idea...... "This is Yoo Chang-hyuk's praise of Li Xiaoqiang's flesh.

When everyone else was immersed in the superb chess skills of the two players, only reporter Zhang Da was looking around. Because reporter Zhang Da has never been a technical stream, he is most concerned about only one problem.

"Hey, let's not just play chess, let's help me analyze and analyze, who is the current situation? Xiao Chang, let's talk about it first. ”

"Fine chess! The current situation is extremely delicate, and at my level, I can't tell who is good and who is bad. ”

Another ambiguous answer, reporter Zhang Da decided to ask a different question:

"If you had to choose, would you be willing to be white and black in this situation?"

Hearing Zhang Da's reporter ask like this, Chang Rensheng made a serious judgment, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chang Rensheng replied:

"Well, this situation...... I'd probably prefer to play black. I feel that the benefits of black's first move are still relatively sufficient. ”

Reporter Zhang Da turned his head to Ma Xiaofei, and Ma Xiaofei also carefully inspected the chessboard:

"I seem to prefer to play black, too."

"Oh? I just heard you keep praising Li Shifo, I thought ......"

"Hehe, of course Li Shifo played this game of chess extremely well. The sense of balance he showed in this game of chess seems to be still a cut above Xiaoqiang. But now I finally know why Xiaoqiang dared to continue to practice this situation with him. ”

"How?"

"Slow! Perhaps because he was too confident in his official level, Li Shifo was still a little slow to move. Therefore, he may have outperformed Xiaoqiang in other areas, but in this area he lost points. The two cancel out, which is why the current situation is caused. Xiaoqiang is still powerful, he should have counted this before the game. That's why he dared to continue laying the floor with Li Shifo. ”

"Do you mean that Xiaoqiang's situation is promising?"

Ma Xiaofei and Chang Rensheng both laughed.

"Now of course, it's a standard fine chess pattern, since both of them are extremely confident in their official level, then let's see how their officials compete."

"In the end, this game of chess will depend on the officials to decide the winner."

"Yes, in a way, the game is just beginning."

Starting from around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there will be more than 80 chess moves in the overall situation, and Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo will start a long official competition. Their competition will determine the final outcome of this competition.

The duel between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo is not only being watched by Chinese chess players, but also by Japanese and Korean chess players.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a group of young Korean chess players were studying the latest chess game progress at the Korean "Chongyan Research Association". They were stunned by the skill of the two players.

Cao Yanzi silently looked at the chessboard in front of him, and he sighed slightly:

"It's a masterful skill......

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at Japan's new "Kitani Dojo", Hero Otake and Masao Kato also led a group of young Japanese chess players to learn this game.

"Textbook, textbook game! This game of chess can be called a model of official competition. ”

Standing next to Masao Kato is Yukari Umezawa, who has also been following the progress of the game. However, she seems to be the same as reporter Zhang Da, she doesn't care about technology, she only cares about whether Li Xiaoqiang can win the final victory.

"Master, who can win?"

Mr. Kato smiled at her: "Wait, it won't be long before the winner of this game will be decided." Alas, it would be a pity to be able to play such a famous game, no matter who loses. ”

No matter what the game is, no matter how regrettable it is, but the game will always be won or lost.

At around 6 p.m., after nearly seven hours of long competition, the winner of the game was finally decided.

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang slowly raised his head, and he had a smile on his face.

Half-eye!

In the first "China-South Korea Hand Competition" tiebreaker, Li Xiaoqiang defeated Li Shifo with half an eye! (To be continued......)
