Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang walked into the research room, and after the two dismantled the chess for a while, Chang Rensheng spoke first:

"Dayang, what do you think of the boss's chess?"

Seeing that Chang Rensheng refused to give his own judgment, but first asked for his own opinion, Zhou Dayang responded with a smile:

"It's so easy to guess the boss's intentions, and after all, this is the first game of five-way chess, so maybe the boss just wants to try this kind of play."

The questions and answers of the two are very simple, and if they are a rookie reporter, they may be able to hear the clouds. But an old bird like reporter Zhang Da will not, and he has already gained insight into their judgment from the conversation between the two.

Today, like Chang Rensheng, their chess style is gradually taking shape. If Li Xiaoqiang's current chess style belongs to the kind of speed type that changes freely, then the two in front of him belong to the kind of moderate school with a strong atmosphere. Among them, Zhou Dayang, in particular, is considered to be the most "thick" one of the "Eight Horses" in Chinese Go.

Strictly speaking, Li Xiaoqiang's start today is to take the path of "thick school", which should be very in line with their appetite, so why are their answers vague? This can only show that the two of them do not agree with Li Xiaoqiang's choice so far.

Under normal circumstances, if you choose a "thick" play, it often means that the pace is slow. If the game of chess unfolds quickly, then it must be accompanied by the so-called "thin taste". If one can play the kind of "thick" and "fast" chess -- this kind of chess cannot be said to be none. If you happen to play this kind of chess, it often doesn't mean how high your level is, it just means that your opponent is not at the same level as you.

Therefore, even if a player who likes "thick taste" is a chess player, he must weigh it when making a choice to see if the "thick play" he chooses can offset the disadvantages caused by "slow pace".

"In this way, do you not agree with Xiaoqiang's choice?"

Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang glanced at each other, and finally Chang Rensheng spoke first:

"The boss is the best player. What he thought in the game, we weren't in a position to judge. But the Boss's choice today...... I haven't figured out what he means yet. What is this trying to do, Boss? He is here to form a stick, the chess form is very complete, yes, with this hand, the place is extremely thick, it can be said that there are almost no flaws. But I really don't see how much of a role this can play now. Is it to accumulate strength for the mid-game battle later? This should be the most plausible explanation. But I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I can't see where the battlefield is right now, isn't it? Ocean. ”

Zhou Dayang further explained: "Yes, it would have been a good thing to say that such a strong momentum was formed in the prelude stage. But the most critical problem now is that the boss has fallen behind. Is it war or peace? Now the choice is in the hands of Mr. Ma. So in the current situation. I think it's easy for the boss to fall short. That's why I don't agree with the boss's move. ”

"Let me help you summarize, do you think Xiaoqiang's choice today is either his whim and wants to try this extremely solid method. Either that, Xiaoqiang is far-sighted, and in his conception, he sees a mid-game battlefield that you don't see. Can it be understood this way? ”

After listening to reporter Zhang Da's words, Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang both laughed, and said that reporter Zhang Da summed it up very well. When reporter Zhang Da asked about the more likelihood, Chang Rensheng smiled again:

"With what I know about the boss. He never played on a whim. In this case, it is more likely that the second case is more likely. Anyway, don't think about anything now, the boss's chess is never so easy to guess. Let's honestly appreciate the rest of the process. To tell you the truth, we are not here to ponder the boss's thinking. Then it might as well see how Mr. Ma coped with this situation. ”

The discussion in the lab stopped, ready to watch the rest of the process. In the game room, when Ma Xiaofei saw Li Xiaoqiang's play, he also felt a little surprised. Therefore, his hand stopped and began to figure out Li Xiaoqiang's intentions.

is also an old opponent for so many years, of course Ma Xiaofei will not think that this is Li Xiaoqiang's whim. Although according to Ma Xiaofei's intuition, he thinks that this move is not a good move. Ma Xiaofei is practicing light skills. In his eyes, Li Xiaoqiang's move was really a bit too slow, and he would definitely not be able to make a move anyway. However, the reputation of the "chessboard wizard" is outside, and when Li Xiaoqiang played unexpected chess, Ma Xiaofei certainly had to take some time to think about it.

The chess players in the competition are different from the research room, which will figure out Li Xiaoqiang's ideas, but the chess players in the competition are different. For example, Ma Xiaofei, who is now sitting opposite Li Xiaoqiang, is thinking more about his next move, by analyzing and comparing his various coping methods, and then figuring out what his opponent wants to do.

Ma Xiaofei thought for a while. While he was thinking, the research room was also discussing Ma Xiaofei's possible coping methods.

"It's not clear what the boss intended, but there are some things that don't have to be that complicated. Although White's play is a little more extreme, today's pattern is also a typical game of "terrain confrontation". As long as this big framework has not changed, then Mr. Ma's next move should be a good choice. I think Mr. Ma is most likely to choose here or here......" Chang Rensheng pointed to two places on the chessboard: "...... Now on the chessboard, there are these two good points, and Mr. Ma's current long exam may be weighing the pros and cons. ”

Chang Rensheng is right, in dealing with a typical "terrain confrontation" situation, generally speaking, there are two most normal ideas. For example, in today's game, black has the advantage on the ground, but in some places the shape is slightly weaker. White, on the other hand, is slightly behind in real space, but has a certain external momentum.

When the choice is in the hands of black, there are generally two choices for black, one is to continue to fish for the ground and completely break the balance of the contrast between reality and space. As for his own weaknesses, let the opponent impact, as long as he can resist the opponent's impact and don't let him take too much advantage, then the gap in the number of goals will be real.

And the other is to take advantage of the fact that you are still slightly ahead of the real space, and while you are still in the first hand, you can quickly make up for your weakest point. This is also a way to do this, which can also easily lead to a fine chess pattern.

Either way, the most important thing is to judge, to judge how much that weakness is worth. And this kind of judgment is the most difficult, even the top masters, they dare not say that they will be able to judge clearly. A big part of the appeal of Go lies in this. The distinction between various genres and styles in Go is actually mainly reflected in this.

"So what do you think Ma Xiao will choose?"

Reporter Zhang Da threw this question to Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang. To this question, Chang Rensheng replied almost without thinking: "According to Mr. Ma's temper, I think he will most likely continue to fish for the field, hehe, I really hope he doesn't fall into the boss's trap." ”

Reporter Zhang Da turned his attention to Zhou Dayang again, and Zhou Dayang also agreed with Chang Rensheng's opinion:

"The key is not to be outdone, you can think about it, the boss just made the next move of extremely thick chess, putting on a posture of going to fight. At this time, will Mr. Ma go to make up for chess in a hurry? In this way, it is clear that it is weak. Therefore, I guess Mr. Ma will definitely fight-for-tat. Don't you want to fight, then come on. I'll get a vote first. Hehe, I feel more and more now that the boss must have a conspiracy in this, and he must have figured out Mr. Ma's psychology. It's just that I don't know exactly where his plot is. ”

The latest chess score was transmitted to the research room, and Ma Xiaofei's follow-up moves did not surprise Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang. He really chose to go-for-tat and chose to get another vote.

So what about Li Xiaoqiang's "conspiracy"? Is there a conspiracy on his part today, or is it just a whim. After more than a dozen rounds, Li Xiaoqiang sprinkled beans into a soldier, and a series of combination punches dazzled everyone. And Li Xiaoqiang's "conspiracy" has also been exhausted.

Li Xiaoqiang's series of moves made Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang stunned, and they admired Li Xiaoqiang in their hearts, but Zhang Da reporter was elated.

Indeed, many of the ingenious ideas in Go require comprehensive calculations, rich imagination, and of course, sometimes the cooperation of the opponent. And Li Xiaoqiang's more than a dozen moves just now seem to include all these characteristics. This is what makes Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang admire. A battlefield they hadn't anticipated before has now appeared on the chessboard.

Not only that, but this battlefield seems to be more special and exciting. The irritating reporter shouted:

"Slay the dragon! Hahaha, Xiaoqiang actually cleverly cut off a big dragon of black chess. Now it's fun. Regardless of whether Xiaoqiang can succeed in the end or not, everyone can see his extremist tactics again. Well, we just mentioned that the two of them played each other for the first time, and in a sense, these two games are really similar. The only difference is that Xiaoqiang is now using an upgraded version of extremist tactics. ”

That's right, what reporter Zhang Da said is not wrong at all. When Ma Xiaofei chose to get another vote just now, the pattern of today's game of chess was already a bit similar to the pattern of the first meeting between the two of them many years ago.

The only difference is that Li Xiaoqiang's methods back then were very amateurish and very obvious. And now, his methods are already very professional, very hidden, so hidden that even Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang can't notice it.

This is the progress that Li Xiaoqiang has made in ten years, and this is Li Xiaoqiang's qualitative leap!

In the game room, the game between the two continued. Ma Xiaofei stared at the chessboard quietly, no one knew what he was thinking.

Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang didn't see the changes, did Ma Xiaofei see them in advance? (To be continued.) )
