The match between Li Xiaoqiang and Hiroshi Yamashiro continues. Aware that this game may form a "small chess" pattern. Li Xiaoqiang deliberately accelerated the process of the first half of the game, and his purpose in doing so was simple...... Reserve plenty of time for thinking about the mid-to-back game.

Li Xiaoqiang is very aware of the future development direction of professional Go, in this era, except for rapid chess competitions. The three-hour fixed time of the ring match makes many chess players very uncomfortable. Yes, it's uncomfortable! They felt that the time frame was too short. It's so short that it doesn't feel a bit serious, and it doesn't look like a serious game.

Needless to say, Japan's "two-day system" is also more than 4 hours for the other 4 smaller titles. In this way, a normal game of chess may take 8 to 9 hours. If the countdown is longer, and if the review time after the game is longer...... It often happens that two Japanese players have just finished a game of chess in the middle of the night and then knock on the door to find a drink......

Some of China's earliest "news chess battles" were also learned from Japan, such as the "New Sports Cup", which also lasted 4 hours per side. However, China has always attached great importance to international competitions, and most of the subsequent international competitions are about 3 hours long. The domestic slow chess game has gradually become mainly 3 hours.

With the addition of Korean Go, the time required for international competitions is getting shorter and shorter. More than 70% of professional Go tournaments in Korea are rapid chess tournaments. They did this because they wanted to adapt the game to the rhythm of live TV or webcast.

This approach seems to make sense, keep up with the times! In fact, the effect is not necessarily good, it can be said that the characteristics of Go are not recognized, and it is possible to walk into another misunderstanding.

No matter how you package the game of Go, it is impossible to have a wonderful Champions League or NBA game. Chess players who only care about the outcome of the game will not watch you live for hours. For those who care about the process of the game, not many people actually watch a game of Go for hours.

What is the biggest attraction of Go competitions? In fact, it is still the content of the chess game, and the story of what happened on the chessboard, even if there are some mistakes or omissions, it is actually very interesting. That's what chess fans talk about. Some stories can even go beyond the world of Go. Let many ordinary people know the Tao.

Go competitions have to compete with other professional competitions, and if you want to rely on some forms of competition to attract attention, it is completely short and long. Only by calming down, relying on the chess players and relying on others to explore the connotation on the chessboard. Wrap these connotations well and push them to the public. These are the things that really make Go so appealing.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang can't control these things now. All he knows now is how to allocate the time of the game well in the game. That's what you need to get used to.

"Race time is spent on the cutting edge."

Chess players who have a lot of "generals" can basically be considered to have a poor grasp of the time spent in the game. Li Xiaoqiang doesn't want a lot of tragedies of "fighting generals" to happen to him.

Today's game seems to be going on very quickly, and before the two hours in the morning are finished, the entire chessboard has played more than 70 moves. In the research room, there was a sound of admiration again. The loudest one is Zhang Zhidong:

"Tsk. Xiaoqiang played really well today, and his chess today is really beautiful. ”

"Ha Luha, Sledgehammer, let me tell you one thing, I noticed that my Go level seems to have improved. The move that Xiaoqiang played just now was exactly the same as I thought. I kid you not, it's really exactly the same! I can actually guess where Xiaoqiang plays, well, it must be that my Go level has improved......"

"Ha Lu Ha. Guessed again! I guessed this move again! ……”

Different from Zhang Zhidong's shouting, Nie Whirlwind Nie Coach's expression was a little serious. Of course, this time he did not criticize Li Xiaoqiang for playing chess:

"It's strange, Xiaoqiang is so easy to deal with every place, okay? Is he so confident in his official level? His thoughts and intentions are good. But ......"

But what?

There are 10 minutes left until the lunch break. Li Xiaoqiang finally slowed down. He suddenly had a very strange feeling. He felt that he could no longer play chess in the morning, and that he had to use the noon time to think about it.

The last time Li Xiaoqiang had a strange feeling, it was still to Xiaolin Jue. That game of chess was Kobayashi Jue "forced" himself to go big. Let yourself feel that "you won't go down", and I don't know how to start at noon.

This plate is different. Completely different! Not only is it not "won't get down", but "it's too good to get down". Every time your opponent makes a move, you immediately have a first choice in your mind. And this "first choice" is so strong. It seems like a no-brainer to choose it. Let Li Xiaoqiang feel "only this hand".

It's okay if this feeling appears once or twice, Li Xiaoqiang has now cultivated some chess sense after all. There are some chess games that you don't need to think about and you can make the best choice based on your first feeling. It's normal to have one or two times, it's not too outrageous. But it's too many times...... Even Li Xiaoqiang himself didn't believe it.

"How can this happen?"

Li Xiaoqiang felt wrong, this abnormal phenomenon made him feel a trace of danger. So he had to think about it.

Think more about abnormal events, this is one of Li Xiaoqiang's good habits. Your Go talent may not be as good as others, and your sense of smell on the board may not be as sharp as others. Since you have chosen Go, you will analyze it when you encounter something abnormal. It's always good to do that.

Until the noon break, Li Xiaoqiang did not fall behind. During the lunch break, Li Xiaoqiang was still thinking about this question. It must be admitted that Li Xiaoqiang's analytical skills are good. He quickly figured out what the problem was. After figuring it out, Li Xiaoqiang had a feeling of crying and laughing:

"Damn, these two games are really like exams. I felt like I had been doing quiz questions in the last game, but what about this time? You changed the multiple-choice question and made it for me......"

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang really seems to be doing multiple-choice questions. And the teacher who came up with the question was Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro. I have to say that Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro is very clever. He made the most of his strengths.

Making multiple-choice questions on the board can be said to be one of the essences of Japanese Go!

Speaking of multiple-choice questions on Go, it is impossible not to mention a Go term invented by Japanese Go:

"See you."

When you play Go, in fact, every move you make, you want to find the one with the greatest value. It doesn't matter how high or low you are. For any amateur Go enthusiast, when he played every move, it must have been what he thought was the "best choice" at the time. He's going to do that. This should be a general rule.

In fact, in Go, there is not a "best choice" for every move. It's entirely possible that there are 2 or more options that are more or less the same. This "almost" means that they are about the same value, good or bad.

If there are two moves of similar value on the board, it is generally one for one person. This is called "seeing together".

When encountering a "meeting" move, then the most clever way to do it is not to move it first. Even if these two moves are of the greatest value, don't rush to play. I'd rather choose the third big move, anyway, those two moves are one for one person.

This is the theory of "seeing the combination" in Go.

In the Tianyuan Tournament, Li Xiaoqiang won the game of chess against Liu Dazhu. At the last moment, if Liu Dazhui noticed the theory of "seeing the combination", he would have won the game. At the end of the season, there is nothing wrong with keeping the order of the greatest value normally. It's a pity that he ran into the "Jianhe" chess and was robbed of the third big chess by Li Xiaoqiang. The result was reversed by Li Xiaoqiang.

It is not difficult to understand the theory of "seeing the fit," but it is difficult to apply it in actual combat. If the master uses it well, it is very hidden, so that the attack will fall unknowingly.

Compared with Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro, Li Xiaoqiang is the first to start. He almost fell in the morning, or rather, he had fallen behind unconsciously.

When Yamashiro Hiroshi was playing chess, he deliberately left some "meeting" chess for Li Xiaoqiang to choose. These moves are often clearly good points. made Li Xiaoqiang feel that he was "very good at chess". Unlike Mr. Daping's game, he has too many clues, and Li Xiaoqiang needs to sort out the clues before he can choose a point.

Today is different, Yamashiro Hiroshi provides several options for Li Xiaoqiang to choose. Li Xiaoqiang only has to choose one of several answers.

I have to say that this approach is very clever. Although some chess pieces are "concurrent", there are always differences to a greater or lesser extent. The higher the level, the more perceptible it is.

According to Li Xiaoqiang's current level, not every "multiple-choice question" can be done correctly.

What's more, because there have always been ready-made answers for Li Xiaoqiang to choose from. Li Xiaoqiang unconsciously didn't have his own ideas. Slowly, they will follow the rhythm of the other party.

"Are you killing people invisibly?"

Li Xiaoqiang is thinking about a solution. (To be continued......)
