Li Xiaoqiang sat in the game room.

It's already around 4 p.m. The game has been going on for 5 hours. So far, the two sides have taken about the same time, and there is still about half an hour left to enter the countdown, but now a total of less than 120 moves have been played. At present, Liu Dazhui is taking a long test in the eighth section.

This is Li Xiaoqiang's fourth game of chess in this Tianyuan competition. If you talk about the first three games, Li Xiaoqiang will also use the advantage of his rebirth. Synthesize some information from later generations and prepare some corresponding strategies according to the characteristics of each opponent. So in this game, Li Xiaoqiang has no other preparations at all, his strategy is very simple, that is, to "fight" with his opponent.

Li Xiaoqiang knows the characteristics of his opponent, and he also knows that he seems to be doing this

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains."

Li Xiaoqiang didn't want to win chess, he knew that he had a smaller chance of winning chess if he did this. However, he cherishes a hard-fought battle with the strong men of this era.

Yes, Li Xiaoqiang took this game as a litmus test for himself.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that there was still a difference between actual combat and doing life-and-death questions. I have been practicing hard, but if I don't play with the masters, I can't stimulate my maximum potential, and I can't continue to make breakthroughs.

According to the experience of later generations, if a chess player does not have strength, then everything is just illusory.

So from the very beginning, Li Xiaoqiang put on a fighting posture. Starting from Liu Dazhui's one-step "sharp rush", Li Xiaoqiang did not hesitate to choose to fight. The opponent was also in the middle of the game, and the two quickly writhed together. At this time, no one can easily back down, and if you take a slight wrong step, the situation will plummet. So both sides were careful and invested a lot of time in the mid-game battle.

Now the battle has reached a critical point. But it's too early to tell the winner. There are two pieces of black and three pieces of white pieces entangled in one. The five pieces of chess are not alive, but Li Xiaoqiang thinks that the situation is not bad. At the very least, the opponent has one more piece to deal with than himself, so it is more difficult for him. Liu Dazhui is immersed in the long exam.

In the hall outside, Nie Whirlwind and Zhang Xuan continued to explain on the plate. Nie Whirlwind, who had just been discharged from the hospital, seemed to be in good spirits and talked eloquently:

“…… White's move is a bit too much. But this is the style of a sledgehammer, and he likes to sell strong pills. First of all, it is not possible for black to climb below, so that the climb will be cheaper for white. Let's take a look at the changes in climbing......"

“…… Let's see, if black climbs, let's analyze the situation, and the basic emptiness of black will be greatly compressed. White is also basically safe, so the two fours in front of black are relatively empty when there is no pressure on white. It's easy to run short. If that's the case, it's better to get off the third road just now......"

"So the counterattack is inevitable, and I only need to think about 1 magic bell when I play this move, and this move must be resolutely counterattacked. The next thing you see, black really fought back. So Xiaoqiang's thinking is correct...... Help me ask how long black's counterattack has been considered...... What the? Off the top of one's head? It's useless for a second? Listen, this kid is already a second better than me now. ”

The next listing explanation seems to have turned into a one-sided praise for Li Xiaoqiang. Nie Whirlwind's witty words, Zhang Xuan's cooperation complements each other. Liu Dazhu's good chess was selectively ignored by the two. Li Xiaoqiang: An ordinary tesuji seems to have turned into a great hand under their demonstration.

But then again, some of the tesuji of professional chess players are really good hands in the eyes of ordinary chess fans. Especially under the detailed presentation of the two commentators, with some reference pictures, an exaggerated tone is added. Chess fans were fascinated by what they heard.

Some things that I usually get confused about will be understood under the explanation of the master. It feels like it's worth it, and it's a wonderful feeling. Naturally, Li Xiaoqiang, who played these "wonderful moves", became more and more tall in the hearts of chess fans at this moment.

The middle-aged uncle had now stood up, and he had now decided that he should believe the inference of the martial arts old man just now. And ashamed of his rudeness just now.

The well-informed young man kept helping his glasses. Staring at the big chessboard in front of me, as if trying to memorize all the demo changes.

The martial arts uncle is even more unbearable. Make a fist with your left hand and form a palm with your right hand. I don't know which sect's martial arts are on the road. muttered there:

"A master of the world must be a master of the world......"

A group of national team members were also watching the excitement on the side. Although many people don't understand why Li Xiaoqiang wants to fight with others like this, so far, black chess has obviously not suffered any losses. It's still early to win, but at least everyone agrees, that is

"Black is better to play in this position."

The happiest is Ma Xiaofei, in his opinion, no matter what the result is. In such a situation, it is enough to laugh at Liu Dazhui N times after the game.

Qian Yuping, who is the most sensitive to the chess game, looked confused, trying to figure out why Li Xiaoqiang wanted to compare the strength of the game with others. He decided to ask his teammates around him:

"It's not scientific......"

Since Zhang Zhidong's big mouth has been publicized everywhere, this sentence has almost become the mantra of the Go team.

"This is not scientific, let's talk about it, why does Xiaoqiang want to fight with a sledgehammer?"

Ma Xiaofei, who was in a good mood, didn't think much about it:

"That's how hard to subdue that brute bull for my appetite, so that it's hard enough. Ha Luha, he's deflated now. ”

"Although Xiaoqiang's situation is not bad now, it can't be said to be an advantage. Based on his performance in the first few sets, don't you think he is particularly able to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses? I was thinking, what did he think about before the game? From the very beginning of this game, he took the initiative to attack, as if he was specifically going to wrestle his wrists with a sledgehammer. Isn't it wise to do that? Even if you are a little demon and him, you won't be stunned like this and rush up, right? ”

Ma Xiaofei snorted dissatisfiedly:

"I'm going to be afraid of him? Which time is not that I am angry. Xiaoqiang's choice is a little problematic, maybe he is young and vigorous. ”

Cao Dafang on the side said:

"I don't believe that Xiaoqiang is young and vigorous, he must have other reasons for doing this. I think about it, there is only one possibility. ”

"What is possible?"

"Do you remember that Xiaoqiang has always said what his master said? We didn't care about it before, but now it seems that he wants to verify it. ”

Everyone was silent at the same time, and Ma Xiaofei suddenly jumped up:

"You're saying that Xiaoqiang didn't care about the outcome of this game at all."

At this time, Cao Dafang on the side seemed to be a philosopher:

"Victory or defeat is still in mind, but for him, it seems that there is something more important than victory or defeat."

For the first time, Ma Xiaofei retracted the mood of watching the excitement. He suddenly felt that if he still had this mentality, he didn't seem to have much respect for Li Xiaoqiang.

"Let me see what you're going to do with this game."

At this moment, Ma Xiaofei found that he had truly become a Xiaoqiang fan. At least in this game.

The listing explanation is almost in sync with the game. Nie Whirlwind is still there with his eyebrows fluttering, praising Li Xiaoqiang:

"People often ask me what is "thick" and what is "thin" in Go. I'm going to tell you a simple way to make a judgment. What is "thick" in Go, it's not the external potential that everyone thinks, the thickest chess is live chess, everyone think about it, my chess is alive, no matter how you toss, it's useless. Therefore, the live chess is the thickest, and correspondingly, of course, the dead chess is the thinnest......"

"If you look at this game, so far, two pieces of black are inactive, and three of them are inactive in white. Now that everyone knows the way, we can now simply judge that this chess piece is a little thicker. Tsk, so far, Xiaoqiang has been playing very well. If Liu Dazhui doesn't come up with some way, I think I'm really going to hide in the hospital. ”

In the game room, Liu Da Hammer finally fell behind after the long exam. When Li Xiaoqiang saw that move, his pupils contracted.

Nie Whirlwind took over the latest chess game, stopped talking for the first time, and studied the game carefully. Two minutes later, he blurted out:

"This move has eleven levels!"

The chess players of the nearby national team also took action. These are all connoisseurs, and although the first 120 or so moves are also played well, they are very lively and intense. But it's all within the normal range of everyone's thinking. Right now...... Even Nie Whirlwind said that there is a "eleven-stage" level, so everyone must study and analyze.

Generally speaking, a professional chess player makes a move that is unexpected by other professional chess players. There are only two possibilities, one is to play a good hand and a good move, and the other is to play a faint and stinky chess. Sometimes, it's really hard to judge whether it's a good hand or a faint hand.

So Nie Whirlwind has to judge himself for 2 minutes first, when he feels that it is a wonderful hand,

"Eleven-level chess" before blurting out. Of course, he was just in a hurry, and he didn't know if he was right. So, he wants to remedy:

"Dear chess fans, most of the members of the national team are here today. I brought them here to study. Now there is a learning opportunity, Ma Xiao, Ma Xiao, you go and study it, and tell us the conclusion later, tell everyone......"

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Ma Xiaofei and they have already taken action. When a professional chess player sees an unexpected move, he almost subconsciously wants to explore the truth about it.

The members of the national team soon studied and discussed enthusiastically, and different change diagrams were quickly laid out and constantly denied. They quickly came to the conclusion that Liu Da Hammer had made a good move, which should be said to be a good move.

It should make some sense to say that it is "eleven stage level", which everyone can understand when you look at Ma Xiaofei's expression:

"This brute bull is a brute bull, and he is selling his strong pills here. It's really a little bit of a skill, and the content of the technique is not ......."

Everyone is not only studying this move, but also studying the subsequent changes. To be precise, he is helping Li Xiaoqiang find a way. Help Li Xiaoqiang find the best response. The most positive attitude is, of course, Ma Xiaofei, and the most serious attitude is naturally Qian Yuping.

Ma Xiaofei is usually not so positive. Now everyone should know the "hatred" between him and Liu Dazhu.

Not only can't you win me, but you can't bully others with a good hand. I had to figure out the best way to deal with it......

At this time, the young "double wall" of Chinese Go was thinking of a way for Li Xiaoqiang.

"Twin Walls" is not a random scream, the two of them have collectively studied the chess, they have studied the best response, plus the help of other teammates. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it represents the highest level of this era.

According to their research, it is necessary to deal with the move of "eleven dan level". There is still a way, but after all, people are clever moves, even if they make the best response, they can only reduce losses. can only barely hold the situation, and can only ensure that the game can continue.

But the question is, can Li Xiaoqiang come out with such an optimal response? After all, this is the crystallization of collective wisdom, and it has a very high level. It's very difficult. Li Xiaoqiang is a prodigy again, and then a genius, after all, it is only the third paragraph, well, according to Ma Xiaofei, we treat him as a fifth paragraph......

Not many people believe it. Although everyone is looking forward to it.

"Li Xiaoqiang is going to be bad"

This idea is not only thought by professional chess players, but also by many ordinary chess fans after listening to the following explanation.

"Now we can be sure that Bai's move is indeed a good move, and Liu Dazhui is not a strong man in my country's Go. What's so good about this move? Let's see, as we just said, these five pieces of chess are entangled together like a mess. According to our simple analysis, black should be thicker, and the better it will be ......"

"It's good here, it's like a precise scalpel that unravels this mess...... Let's take a look at this follow-up change, with this good move, the three pieces of white chess are faintly connected together, so according to what we said earlier. White has all come alive. Although the number of eyes did not lead, white became extremely thick......"

"What about black, although there is a piece of chess that is alive. However, the other piece of chess still did not settle down. At this point in the game, if you still have a piece of chess that has not settled. Then the later moves will be greatly constrained. So when White makes this move, the whole situation will be tilted in White's ......"

Chess fans who came to listen to the commentary of the big game were a little unbearable. Ordinary chess fans are already very curious about Li Xiaoqiang, and it is a very normal public psychology to hope that Li Xiaoqiang will win in this game of chess. In addition, Nie Xuanfeng and Zhang Xuan have been touting Li Xiaoqiang before, and they have mobilized everyone's emotions to a very high position. And now suddenly you say it again......

Nie Whirlwind apparently knew that he had "committed public anger". hurriedly comforted everyone and brought out the research results of Ma Xiaofei and Qian Yuping. And don't forget to get vaccinated:

“…… If you want to say that there are still solutions, please take a look...... This is the best way to deal with it. If black is played like this, then it is difficult to say who wins and who loses. However, let's put it this way, the first step is at the level of eleven dans, so the best response to the back is at least the level of thirteen dans. We know that Xiaoqiang is still a child, and he is currently only in the third stage. We can't ask too much of him, let's raise ten dan at once. I can responsibly say that Xiaoqiang's front chess has been played very well. The preceding moves must have at least eight dan levels. So what about the back, we can't ask too much, everyone says, right? You can also play eight or nine dan level chess. Although I want him to play 13 dan more than anyone else, I still want to remind everyone. Don't expect too much. Now, it's up to black to react. ”

"Now, it's up to this kid to deal with it."

Chess fans are very rational. Even the most unwilling martial arts old man is now ready to accept reality. In the heart of the martial arts uncle, the image of "a master outside the world" is of course unquestionable. Even if Li Xiaoqiang loses, it will not affect the image of "his master" in the mind of the martial arts master. Still, it's better to ......

"It's up to this kid to deal with it."

Time flies by quickly, and it's already past 5 p.m., and both players should be on the countdown. The game has not been released for a long time. But not a single fan was impatient. They're waiting, they're expecting......

The chess game finally came out, and Nie Whirlwind did not immediately move the chess. He was carefully studying the game, and this time, he didn't speak for much longer.

The chess players were also waiting quietly, and they were all staring at Nie Whirlwind, as if waiting for the verdict to be announced.

After a long time, Nie Whirlwind raised his head and began to speak. It was noticed that he seemed to be trying to calm his excitement, and his voice trembled a little:

"Dear chess fans, let me tell you first that this game of chess is not over yet. It's still going on intensely. But I still have to tell you the good news, yes, the good news. Our Xiaoqiang really played thirteen dan level chess. After suffering a clever blow, he really came out and played the best ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was a sudden round of applause in the chess hall. Bigger and louder.

The middle-aged uncle now decides that after the game, he must find someone else's martial arts boss to apologize, apologize for his ignorance, and apologize for his shallowness.

Well-informed youths help their glasses more often and more often.

The martial arts uncle has now begun to dance, and he can't tell which sect of martial arts it is. At this moment, the image of the "master of the world" has approached perfection.

Everyone seems to be watching a boxing match. Li Xiaoqiang was hit by a heavy punch from his opponent, and everyone was worried that he would fall. began in the countdown, Li Xiaoqiang stood up tenaciously. Not only did he stand up, but he seemed to be ready to fight back.

At this time, does it matter if you win or lose the last? Doesn't Li Xiaoqiang deserve applause?

The game continues to be difficult. It's time to fight the night.

None of the chess fans in the hall were impatient, and none thought of leaving. Where have they been waiting.

What are you waiting for?

Is it waiting for the most difficult results? Or are you waiting for your hero?

Who knows what the way is?

Li Xiaoqiang sat quietly on one side of the chessboard. At this time, both sides entered the countdown, but the chess game was less than 160 hands.

Countdown wars are inevitable.

Late battles are inevitable.

What will be the outcome of the final battle of the pre-selection?

Li Xiaoqiang's one-handed chess and one-handed chess continued.
