Li Xiaoqiang sat on the edge of the chessboard. The signs of not sleeping well are obvious, so it looks a little haggard.

There are many ways to win chess, and Li Xiaoqiang chose the most exciting, extreme, risky, and difficult path.

But Li Xiaoqiang had to do this, which was definitely not "forced by the situation", but because he couldn't pass his own level.

"What's wrong with me? Mingming, like most people, despises the Japanese theory of Go. Why has it only been more than 1 year since he returned to this era, and he has not yet transformed others, and he has been almost transformed? Don't deny it! Are you complacent about playing a few games of "Japanese-style" Go right now? Isn't your Go thinking getting closer to this era? If that's the case, then what else does Go need you Li Xiaoqiang to do? ”

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang needs to find a way to wake himself up. The task of transforming the world is too arduous, and the first thing Li Xiaoqiang needs to do is to wake himself up.

So he wants to choose to slay the dragon, and it is the legendary "killing the thick force", and he wants to remind himself with this most direct and difficult method.

"Can I do it? It's hard, of course, but you have to do it! ”……

"That's what he thought, but can he do it?"

The opponent Imamura Wenming is burying his head in the long test.

Before Li Xiaoqiang made that move. Imamura, like the chess players in the research room, did not think of Li Xiaoqiang's intentions at all.

"I'm thick-walled!"

So seeing this move, Imamura was surprised, but he was not panicked. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang's first few moves that everyone did not understand are very easy to understand. It is understandable that Imamura does not think that Li Xiaoqiang is right.

"It's not hard to make a piece of chess. Especially in this situation, I don't have to think about other meshes, thicknesses or anything. If you live, you win, and if you die...... Will it die? ”

Imamura continued to bury his head in the long exam.

"If you want to slay the dragon, is the big dragon so easy to kill?"

This was Imamura's thought at the time, and it was also the thought of all the people in the laboratory.

So what is dragon slaying? , is it so determined? Why do chess players feel that it is too difficult to kill chess? What's so hard? Then let's take a look at the explanation of the term "dragon slaying".

To most accurately describe "slaying the dragon", it should be like this: "Your own chess piece surrounds one of the opponent's pieces, so that the opponent's chess pieces cannot make two eyes." This is probably the most scientific description.

There are two key words in this, one is "surrounding" and the other is "making eyes". What is difficult to slay the dragon, the difficulty lies in these two points.

If you want to slay a dragon, you must have a strong "encirclement network", and most of the difficulties in slaying dragons are because the "encirclement network" cannot be woven very strongly. Because each player takes turns to play chess, they have to weave an encirclement net, and their own strength is generally much more than that of their opponents. And when you slay the dragon, you can't just weave a siege net, you have to spend a certain number of hands to break the eye. So it's very difficult to weave a siege network that is strong enough to slay dragons. Comparatively speaking, it is relatively easy for the opponent to "make eyes".

It should be said that Li Xiaoqiang played a lot of chess after being reborn, and there were also one or two games of dragon slaying chess. Slay the dragon for the first time. It was a big dragon who played chess in Cuiwei County and killed Lao Xie, the county's "third master". That game of chess was due to Lao Xie's exhaustion of changes, so that Li Xiaoqiang's encirclement network was already very strong. Li Xiaoqiang only needs to break his eyes simply, which is relatively simple.

The second game is a guide to the 3rd dan of Qiancheng Han, and in the strict sense of the word, it is not a pure dragon slay. That game of chess is more accurate to say that Han 3 Duan is "betting on the big dragon", and if he escapes the big dragon, he will definitely lose, so he simply bet on the life and death of the big dragon. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang will not be polite in such chess.

So what about this plate? In this game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang's encirclement is not so tight. Although Imamura Civilization's chess has not yet seen the obvious eye position, Li Xiaoqiang's move just now to "nail the nail" is actually to destroy a "first hand eye", but it is still very simple to code a back hand eye for the time being. So the current task of Imamura civilization is "simple".

It's really not difficult to do a piece of chess, and if you can break out of the encirclement, of course, you don't need to say it. There is no need to panic if you can't rush out, especially if you have a hindsight. "Chess is one foot long, and it lives without eyes" is not a joke.

The task of the Imamura civilization now is very simple, that is, while attacking the encirclement, make a "first hand eye", or pose two "back hand eyes". This is also the basic way to make eyes, "three eyes and two does"......

Imamura is still thinking about it, and everyone in the lab is also studying enthusiastically. Only Li Xiaoqiang seemed to be a little more relaxed, although he didn't stop his calculations. But he's a lot more relaxed. Of course, because he's at least "half an hour" ahead of everyone else, isn't he?

Imamura finally moved.

"Sharp"

"Chess meets a small point"

This move, as expected in the laboratory, is the best way to cure orphans. Not only is he running outside, but he also has a second back hand.

Of course, this move was also done in Li Xiaoqiang's expectations, Li Xiaoqiang took a quick step, Imamura glanced at Li Xiaoqiang, and Li Xiaoqiang was expressionless.

At this time, the most normal way to deal with it is to break the eye position here, and Li Xiaoqiang did not do this. Because Li Xiaoqiang calculated that if he hurriedly broke his eye, white would have a good move after 10 moves. Li Xiaoqiang chose a move that was imminent, this move made his encirclement more solid, and also blocked the way to do another eye.

A few more moves were played. Imamura's civilization is a long step by step test, and Li Xiaoqiang is falling quickly. This is not that Li Xiaoqiang is not cautious, nor is it that he deliberately shows off. It's just because every move of Imamura is within Li Xiaoqiang's expectations. It did not exceed the scope of Li Xiaoqiang's calculations.

The chess continues step by step, "Can this chess piece be killed?" ”

If you want to ask Li Xiaoqiang, he doesn't know the way, because everyone knows that it is difficult to kill chess. If you had to answer him, and you had to tell the truth, Xiaoqiang might answer you like that.

"Well, I don't know if I can kill it, but I don't see how white can make two eyes very clearly."

Imamura couldn't see it either, so he continued to take the long exam.

The people in the research room couldn't see it, so they continued to study, calculate, and put out the change diagram.

Li Xiaoqiang was also calculating, but his expression was relaxed, so relaxed that he could even get up and walk around.

"Indeed, by my calculations I think I've slain a dragon. I don't know if I'm right. If there's something tricky, come up with it. It's just that there are really good hands to prove me wrong, but I don't regret it at all, and I don't need to reflect on it. Because I'm sure that's the kind of Go I want. I don't want the means to slay the dragon, I want this spirit, the spirit of slaying the dragon! ”……

Half an hour later, the research in the laboratory continued. But the atmosphere is already relaxed. In particular, Team Leader Hua said something that he thought was humorous:

"It turns out that thick walls also need two eyes to live."

These words caused a chuckle from the Chinese personnel and a wry smile from the Japanese personnel. But Li Xiaoqiang must not be heard by this, otherwise he will definitely despise it in his heart:

"Actually, I've heard it for a long time, but ...... I didn't remember it for a while. ”……

in the game room.

Imamura's expression was solemn and he bowed to Li Xiaoqiang:

"I lost, thanks for the guidance!"

Li Xiaoqiang looked at Yukari Umezawa and listened to her awkward translation.

Li Xiaoqiang looked at Yukari Umezawa and smiled:

"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do."

"By the way, I want to tell you, you translate it like this, you may not understand this sentence, he does."

Yukari Umezawa recorded seriously on the chess game again:

Black, Li Xiaoqiang

White side, Imamura civilization

As a result, the black mid-game wins

Umezawa muttered:

"It's really rude, how can you answer people like this. What does it mean to "what he should do"? Also, how does he know that I don't understand? Hmph, what a monster. ”

Li Xiaoqiang walked out of the room, and the sun was shining outside.
