At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang re-entered the game room. On the surface, he was no different from usual. At the very least, no one could tell what was really going on in his heart from his facial expressions. This seems to be one of the "basic skills" of a professional Go player. "Joy and anger are invisible" seems to be a basic requirement for professional chess players.

Li Shifo is a "poker face" that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. A reporter once took dozens of portraits of Li Shifo in a row, and found that almost all of his dozens of photos had the same expression, and even the subtle differences could not be found. can't help but make people sigh, the name of the stone Buddha is really worthy of the name.

Of course, some professional chess players are still "expressive". However, if you want to know what they really think from their expressions or body movements, it is basically very difficult. When some chess players play chess, they often have a painful expression, and even have a bit of "self-abuse" actions such as beating their chests and feet, pulling their hair, etc. But basically it has nothing to do with the situation of the chess game. When they say things like "what a bad game......" or "it's about to fail...... most of the time they don't say that their own chess "really can't work", but often they are saying that their opponent's chess "really bad......".

Compared with these chess players, Li Shifo's "poker face" is relatively normal.

The game has been played so far, when everyone thinks that "both sides can be satisfied". Li Xiaoqiang himself is actually not very satisfied. Not only was he dissatisfied, but he also felt that his chess was more difficult to play, and Li Xiaoqiang also couldn't find any clue about how to crack the "fishing first and then washing".

In later generations, the idea of "fishing first and then washing" became popular in the professional chess world. If we simply classify the young chess players of later generations, then most of them are "realism and violence" type chess players. There is also a trend of "convergence" in many professional tournaments. This situation even makes people feel a little monotonous and boring. All this should be related to the "young age" of professional chess players in later generations. It is also related to the normal rules of a person's understanding of Go.

Playing Go is about the virtual and the real. As a general rule, people always understand something "real" better. It's more difficult to master something "virtual". In Go, things like "field", "tesuji", for example, are real. With a certain talent for Go, it is not difficult to reach a certain height with more scientific training methods and one's own efforts. The "layout" and "use of thick flavor" in Go are considered to be relatively "virtual", not to mention ordinary people, but many first-class masters are not good at mastering. Such things cannot be learned by "learning", but by "understanding".

The method of "fishing first and then washing". It is the product of this pragmatism. For example, the current Li Xiaoqiang, if he wants to win chess, the layout is not good, and he uses "routines" to make up for it. It doesn't matter if you don't know enough about some "imaginary" things, "spell the road", "fight for physical strength", plus a little extra knowledge, these are the things. has achieved the title of "Li Da Genius". Later generations of young chess players almost did the same thing when dealing with "old comrades". What if two young chess players bumped into each other? There's no way, they all want to "fish first and then wash", you fish and I fish. At this time, if you want to "fish", it is not so good to "fish". Therefore, it is possible to fight in the prelude stage, which is one of the reasons why "violent Go" prevailed in later generations.

Li Xiaoqiang never thought that the champions of the world of those "little leopard generations" in later generations. Their understanding of Go has surpassed that of their predecessors, and most of them have obvious room for improvement. Don't look at the fact that they can easily defeat Li Shifo and Chang Rensheng now, you must say that they are stronger. Li Xiaoqiang won't believe it.

The most brutal part of professional Go is here, you may have a deeper understanding of Go, but relying on this alone is not enough for you to win. You must have the mental strength and physical strength to match it. There are many extremely talented chess players who have been on the path of Go practice for up to 20 years and then eliminated in the cutthroat competition. If this is the case, it should be no problem to say that the overall level of Go will improve, but it is basically impossible to say that the top level will also improve.

For today's game, Li Xiaoqiang originally wanted to "fish first and then wash", but there was no way, he did not "fish" to win the opponent, although the whole situation is not good or bad. Li Xiaoqiang is "in a bad mood", that's for sure. He always felt that his opponent had seen through his intentions. Others expect Li Xiaoqiang to release a "big move". Only Li Xiaoqiang knows in his heart, is the "big move" so easy to put? With the deepening of everyone's understanding of Li Xiaoqiang, when Li Xiaoqiang is no longer "mysterious", Li Xiaoqiang's previous "big moves" are not so powerful.

The game continues step by step, as the number of pieces on the board increases. Everyone wants to see Li Xiaoqiang release his "big move", and the mood is becoming more and more urgent.

"Xiaoqiang should make a move now!"

At more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the chess game had been played about 80 times. Anyone who follows this game has this thought in their minds. Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone is just ready to "watch a good show", but the chess game has been going on so far, and Li Xiaoqiang seems to have to "enlarge the moves".

This game of chess is a bit similar to the second game of the "celebrity battle" decisive battle, the same is Li Xiaoqiang's "momentum", his opponent "takes the land", that game of chess Li Xiaoqiang can use the most difficult "small move" to win the chess, because Liu Dazhui began to judge the situation too optimistic, and out of caution, the later moves are conservative. This game of chess is still different, Yamashiro Hiroshi "grabbed the air" very fiercely, the balance of the real space was almost broken, and now in the middle stage, in general, Li Xiaoqiang's white chess is a little "thicker". If you don't use the "thick taste" to get a little benefit at this time, the officials behind you will not be so easy to collect.

Let's not mention that Yamashiro Hiroshi is known as "infiltration flow", he is originally an official with a very good level, even if Li Xiaoqiang can take advantage of the official stage, at that time, it may not be enough to win a victory if he is cheaper by one or two moves. Now everyone can see that the chess game has been going on so far, and Li Xiaoqiang is required to "take the initiative". Li Xiaoqiang himself knows this truth.

"How do you open it up?"

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang was thinking hard.

"Hehe, it seems that our previous worries are unnecessary, and the chess game has been carried out so far, and it can be seen that Yamashiro-kun is in good shape. He played very well. In order to open the position, White has to come up with a special trick. Mr. Xiuyuki, do you think there is a good way for white to play now? ”

"Ishida-kun is right, the current situation seems to be bland, but in fact, it is the most important test of the skills of a chess player. Every move of black chess is with the number of eyes, and at the same time, it is also very careful to protect its "thin taste", and now it is not possible for white to simply follow and deal with it, and it is not good to compete with black chess. We have to find a way to attack the "thin taste" of black. But how do you need to impact it now? To be honest, I don't see a good solution for the time being. This, in turn, shows that Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro is indeed playing well in front of him. He overcame various adverse factors. He played very well. Takemiya, what do you think? ”

"Ha Luha, since Mr. Xiuxing can't find a good way, then I can't help it. If it goes on like this, I'm still optimistic that Yamashiro-kun will win. It would be great if that was the case. To be honest, China's Li Sang already gives people a sense of unstoppability, and I don't have full confidence that I will be able to defeat him when I face him now. For example, in the current situation, I can't think of any good way. China's Li Sangke is known as the "wizard on the chessboard", so let's see how the "wizard on the chessboard" copes with such a situation. ”

From China to Japan, from live viewing rooms to Japanese television studios. It's all very clear to all. Li Xiaoqiang's white chess must now "make a move". If he doesn't "make a move", it is very likely that he will be "euthanized". Facing Hiroshi Yamashiro who is well prepared, facing Hiroshi Yamashiro who is in very good shape. Does Li Xiaoqiang have a trick?

Time is moving forward bit by bit, and the game is going on step by step. The expected "ultimate" has not appeared. Gradually, everyone began to worry about the future of this game. Just when everyone was a little anxious, Li Xiaoqiang made a move. This move is very ordinary, very ordinary, and it doesn't seem to be close to the "ultimate" at all. However, after this move reached the research room, it still caused a commotion, and after the commotion, many people looked at each other. No one is easy to judge this move.

Li Xiaoqiang took a step to "break".

Yes, it should be said that "cut" in Go is quite common. Especially in the mid-game stage, the so-called "chess is born from the break", and "cutting" is too ordinary to be more ordinary. The "cut" in Go sometimes can't even be said to be "tesuji". Li Xiaoqiang's thinking should also be very easy to understand, at present, white chess is "empty and less chess thick", and if you want to make up for the gap between real and empty, you always have to find a way to play your "thick taste". The best way to give full play to the "thick taste" is, of course, to trigger a battle, and only by gaining benefits in the battle can it be possible to make up for the gap between the real and the empty. Generally speaking, the "cut" in Go is the beginning of a mid-game battle. Now that Li Xiaoqiang has taken a step to "break", his intention should be obvious, he is ready to fight.

It's just that when everyone saw Li Xiaoqiang take this step to "break", no one was aware of Li Xiaoqiang's intentions. There are even many people who feel that Li Xiaoqiang's move is a bit "unreasonable". From the overall situation, of course, Li Xiaoqiang's white chess is a little "thicker", but in the place where Li Xiaoqiang "cuts off", everyone still does not understand Li Xiaoqiang's intentions for a while.

Regarding the "cut-off" in Go, Shi Xiangxia, an ancient chess saint in China, once expounded a mantra in his "Summary of Whenever Encountered":

"Two places can be decided!"

To tell the truth, "Summarizing the Important Places in Everything" is the culmination of ancient Chinese Go theory. Many of the chess theories it expounds are also in line with modern Go theory. For modern Go, it still has a strong guiding significance. Take this sentence as an example, "Two places can be judged only if there are circumstances!" Simply "translated" in today's words, Shi Qisheng said very clearly: the "cut-off" in Go is not arbitrary, and there must be "situations on both sides" before you can cut off the battle.

In fact, it is easy to understand the meaning of this sentence with the modern "sub-effect principle". The cut off in Go is often for combat, and the move of "cutting off" itself is generally not necessarily without a mesh, not only does it not have a mesh, but the "cut" itself is often a "weak piece".

There is no mesh itself, and it is still a weak piece, so can we think that when playing "cut", the "sub-effect" of the move itself is not high? When we play Go, of course, we must pursue the "sub-effect" of each move, so when we "cut off" with low efficiency in the next step, we must pay attention to it, and you must have enough interests before you can "cut off" this move.

This is "two places can be broken only when there is a sway!" "The principle." "Cut" is to divide someone's chess into two, if "there is a situation on both sides", then you go to "cut off", what if only one side "has a situation"? You cut off actually doesn't make any sense, you may let others play a piece of chess "not very efficient", but you also have a piece of chess that is not efficient, you must know that the way you "cut off" this piece is likely to develop into a "piece of chess", if the two are offset, of course it is not interesting for you to cut off.

This should be easy to understand. Ancient Chinese chess gives people the impression that it is often a "chaotic war", but in fact, it is not, they play chess, in fact, they are also very particular about chess theory. When they fight, they are also very efficient, and they are very cautious, and they will never fight for the sake of fighting.

Of course, to really understand what it means to be "two sentient beings!" The point is not "cut", but "sentient". What does it mean to be "in a situation"? That's a very advanced question. This generally involves a series of strategic and tactical intentions. The higher the level, the more subtle and clever his strategic intentions are.

To be honest, for the pinnacle of ancient Chinese chess such as "Danghu Ten Games", even modern professional chess players, if they don't think about it carefully, they may not be able to understand their chess. If you put on a posture of "getting started" and look at their chess, you will definitely not be able to understand the essence of "Danghu Ten Games".

I don't understand the essence of other people at all, and I blame other people's chess indiscriminately based on my feelings. This is just like "no poison no husband" accusing "no husband without excess", which can only show his own shallowness.

Today, Li Xiaoqiang is more lucky, he took a step to "cut off", "two places can be broken". When people don't understand his intentions, when everyone doesn't see the "situation". Although there are many people who feel that this move is a bit "unreasonable" at the first time. Finally, no one immediately opened their mouths to criticize him.

This is also normal, in any case, Li Xiaoqiang's "criminal record" is too much, and he often plays some unexpected chess. It is precisely because Li Xiaoqiang's "residual power" is still there, when he plays this kind of incomprehensible chess again, no one will easily speak. The first thing you need to do is to understand the true intention of this move.

In the laboratory, everyone started a lively study of this move. In the game room, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro also stopped, and he was also analyzing Li Xiaoqiang's true intentions.

What did Li Xiaoqiang find?

The game continues step by step. (To be continued......)
