South Korea, Lee Seok-fo's hometown, the 4th game of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup" final will start soon. @@

As usual, Li Xiaoqiang came to the game room early. He made all the preparations and waited quietly for the game to come. However, slightly different from the previous 3 games, Li Shifo appeared relatively late today, and after Li Xiaoqiang sat down for a few minutes, he did not appear in his position.

To say that in the first 3 games, because the age of both players is relatively young, both of them seem more "self-conscious". As a result, in the minutes leading up to the start of the match, there was often a scene in the game room: two teenagers sat facing each other, but there was no communication with each other, let alone any gesture of friendship, and even the occasional eye contact would quickly pass by. It seems that if you take the initiative to be friendly, you will suffer a great loss.

With Li Xiaoqiang's understanding of Li Shifo, Li Xiaoqiang knew that he was such a person, so he understood his actions very well. However, Li Xiaoqiang thinks it is difficult to explain his actions. Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that he is not usually like this. Whether it is in the domestic arena or against the top players in Japan, he is generally very polite, and he will also communicate with his opponents politely before the game. Only when it comes to Li Shifo, even Li Xiaoqiang himself doesn't know why, anyway, if he takes the initiative to greet Li Shifo, Li Xiaoqiang can't do it, he will feel very awkward.

After thinking about it, Li Li Shifo and Chang Rensheng's personal relationship is very good. Both refer to each other as their best friends. When Chang Rensheng rushed to the forefront of the world chess world, when Chang Rensheng began to attack the pinnacle of the world chess world, these two were once called "peerless double pride" by many media, especially Chinese media.

However, it is a pity that in the first 5 or 6 years, such a "peerless double pride", the results of each other were one-sided. For a while, Chang Rensheng almost reached the point where it was difficult to find in his life......

"Well, it's not impossible to be friends, but there is a premise for this, that is, I have to win you, and only if I defeat you, and then be friends with you, then it will be interesting. Otherwise, I really don't want to be such a "peerless double pride". Really, I don't want to at all! I'd rather treat you like an enemy. I don't want to be friends like this with you......"

I don't know if it's a bad taste, or if it's a small-bellied chicken intestine? In short, Li Xiaoqiang thought this in his heart. In his subconscious, Li Shifo is just different from others. Therefore, at this time, before he and Li Shifo decided to win, he really couldn't take the initiative to show favor to Li Shifo.

After today's game of chess, can Li Xiaoqiang take the initiative to say hello to Li Shifo?

10 a.m. 2 a.m. KST. Li Shifo appeared at the door of the game room, and it was his master Cao Yanzi who accompanied Li Shifo to the arena.

"Stone Buddha, you should have seen all the changes we dismantled yesterday, right? That's right. And the idea that Chang Hyuk came up with. All in all, your opponent this time is strong, but it's not without flaws. Play well and take the initiative. Give full play to your strengths, and I believe you still have the strength to defeat him. ”

"Hmm."

Li Shifo is like this, even if he faces his own teacher, his answer is very simple. He was answering. His gaze didn't even look at his master, but drifted to a corner where he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Cao Yanzi is also very familiar with his apprentice. Just like the game between them. Cao Yanzi often didn't know what Li Shifo was thinking. So at this time, Cao Yanzi didn't talk nonsense, he just smiled and patted Li Shifo's shoulder:

"Go for it......"

As Li Shifo walked into the game room, as the referee announced the start of the game, this game that was a back-to-back battle for Li Shifo began......

"Mr. Yamada, I really didn't expect to see you in this place. What's going on? Isn't the celebrity war in your country already at the most critical time? You, the chief observer reporter, are not reporting on the "celebrity war" in China, why did you come all the way to this place? By the way, how is the "celebrity war" in your country going, and who has won the challenge in the latest issue? ”

"Hehe, I told you a long time ago that the current era is different from before. So what's so strange about me being here? It's been a big change over the years, especially after the emergence of Li Xiaoqiang in your country, his gorgeous chess style, and his genius-like whimsy, even in Japan, he has a large number of chess fans. So even for the sake of magazine sales, I now have to come to the race to cover it. As for our "Celebrity Battle", this time it was Mr. Otake who won the right to challenge. I really didn't expect that the "Otake Volcano", which has been silent for several years, has a tendency to erupt violently during this time. But to be honest, although I am happy for Mr. Otake's outburst, I always feel bad in my heart. At what point, we can also produce a Li Xiaoqiang or Li Shifo in the Japanese Go world. For example, this time, even if Yitian-kun gets the right to challenge, it would be ......"

When the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo was carried out in the afternoon, reporter Zhang Da, who appeared in the viewing room early, unexpectedly found an old acquaintance, this is the Japanese reporter Yamada. Everything was fine in the morning, and there was nothing to say about the morning game. At least in the opinion of reporter Zhang Da, there is nothing new in the current chess game process, and it is still too early to decide the winner. Therefore, at this time, reporter Zhang Da also has time to chat with his peers.

At the same time, reporter Zhang Da knew in his heart that when the game was carried out so far, most of the people were optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang's victory. For example, reporter Yamada is now in South Korea, and he must also be optimistic that Li Xiaoqiang can win with a score of 3-1. In this way, he will be in time for the closing ceremony of this competition, and he will also be able to write a better summary essay for this final. Therefore, seeing Reporter Yamada in the viewing room is actually very understandable.

It can be said that many people who came to the viewing room today have the same thoughts as the two of them. Among them, in fact, there are many Korean chess players. Time is moving forward little by little, and the game is going on step by step. By about 2:30 p.m., nearly 80 moves had been played in the entire game. The viewing room was also very lively, with Chinese and South Korean players divided into two camps and discussing the chess game. It was at this time. The atmosphere of "the closing ceremony may be held in the evening" has become more and more intense in the viewing room.

On the side of the Chinese delegation, after Nie Whirlwind studied the situation on the chessboard, he didn't say much, he just briefly stated his opinion:

"Today it's a game of kung fu. Now it doesn't seem to be over so soon. However, this chess Xiaoqiang played well. The current situation is not as good as the day before yesterday. However, I think Xiaoqiang's white chess still has a certain advantage, and according to this trend, Xiaoqiang's hope of winning should still be very high. ”

"Oh? So what exactly is the advantage of white? ”

"The main thing is that there are too many real and empty in white, I just judged, and the real space of the two sides is basically the same at the moment, so for black. This burden is too heavy. I don't see where black can find these 5 and a half stickers. ”

"Doesn't Xiaoqiang still have two thin pieces of chess now? Couldn't black make a profit by attacking and slowly make up for the loss in real space? ”

"Yes, I admit that this chess is also black and white, which is why I think Xiaoqiang's situation is not as good as the previous game. If this is not the case, then this chess game will not be played at all, and it can now be announced that Xiaoqiang has won another world championship. But have you noticed that Xiaoqiang's two thin pieces of chess have roots and heads, and they are very elastic. This in itself is not an attack. What's more, white is very thick except for these two pieces. Xiaoqiang only needs to deal with these two thin pieces of chess wholeheartedly, and he doesn't have to worry about other places at all. Therefore, even if both of these places are scraped a little bit by black. But I don't think black can scrape five and a half meshes either. That's why I think white has an advantage at the moment. ”

While Nie Whirlwind was analyzing the situation for the members of the Chinese delegation, on the side of the Korean chess players, everyone was also discussing the current situation. Liu Changhe watched the progress of the chess game, and then he smiled bitterly at Cao Yanzi:

"Cao Guoshou. It seems that the stone Buddha was not used at all for our preparation yesterday. Today's chess style is still the unique rhythm of the stone Buddha. Although it is still a game of fine chess. But I always think it's hard to do black. ”

"Well, I haven't helped Black to think of a way to open the situation right now. But in any case, the situation today is still a little better than the day before yesterday, right? The focus of the current situation is to see how Shi Buddha pursues the thin taste of white chess. Chang Hyuk, you are the best at attacking, can you help black find a good way to attack today's situation? ”

"Since white has two thin pieces, my first instinct is the "winding attack", which should be the best way to attack. However, I have just checked it carefully, and I have found that this method may not work. Although black can be entangled, white can be managed separately. If this is the case, then the main battlefield of both sides will appear in the center of the board. The middle belly of the chessboard, which was originally an empty saline land. In this area, due to the entanglement of the forces of both sides, this in itself is not good. In this way, it will be difficult for black to gain real benefits from the attack, and it will be difficult to close the gap in the number of goals. What's more, since the black piece involved in the attack also has only one eye, if this weakness is caught by white, then it will be more difficult for the black piece to have an effect. Honestly, it's the best attack I've been able to find so far, but I don't think it's any better. That's why I find black difficult. ”

"Yes, I think that's where Li Xiaoqiang is smart, he can play chess and defend well, and his thinking is very flexible. Under normal circumstances, the appearance of two thin pieces is the most taboo for chess players, and no one wants to face a situation of being attacked by entanglement. But Li Xiaoqiang wouldn't think so, it all seemed to be under his control. He had already calculated that the attack method of black chess had no effect, so he dared to play like this. Now it seems that Shi Buddha doesn't have any special methods, and this game of chess is really a bit difficult. ”

"Cao Guoshou, do you think the stone Buddha can come up with a good move?"

Faced with Liu Changhe's question, Cao Yanzi did not answer immediately, at this moment, he was stunned for a moment in front of the chessboard. When more and more Korean chess players and reporters came around, everyone was waiting for Cao Yanzi's answer. Cao Yanzi suddenly said to Liu Changhe with a little answer:

"Chang Hyuk, I'm suddenly thinking now, if Shi Buddha accepts our advice and he suddenly changes his style of chess today, then what do you think is the situation today?"

"This ......"

"Hehe, what's so bad about answering, I think it's nothing more than two situations, one is that it did get a surprise effect, caught the opponent off guard, and then gained a certain advantage. However, I now think that if Shi Buddha really does this, and he uses this trick on Li Xiaoqiang, it may not be a good way. Because this itself is Li Xiaoqiang's strength, and it is Li Xiaoqiang's strongest point. If the stone Buddha used this trick on him, I don't think he would be able to achieve good results. I even think that if Shi Buddha does this, the situation he is facing now is likely to be similar to the current situation. Do you think so? ”

After listening to Cao Yanzi's words, many Korean chess players showed a thoughtful look. They wanted to understand the meaning of Cao Yanzi's words. Among them, the king of heaven is not the king of heaven, and the first to understand it is Liu Changhe:

"Cao Guoshou, you think that Shi Fo's choice today is actually correct, Shi Fo may think: only in the field that he is most familiar with, in the rhythm he is most familiar with, can he play his best level, and it is possible to find the most correct way to deal with it. That's why he's doing this. That should be his only way to win. Is that so? ”

"That's right, that's what I thought. I have always believed that Li Xiaoqiang is very strong, but everyone should not forget that Shi Buddha is also very strong, and he is also a genius of Go. You know, none of these people around us are his opponents. He can win us so many times with this kind of play, why can't he win Li Xiaoqiang? For example, in a situation like today, you and I really can't think of any good way, but this doesn't mean that Shi Buddha can't think of a way to break the situation. I don't think we need to continue our research now, let's wait for the actual combat process. I have a hunch that Shi Buddha will definitely find a way to break the game today. He'll be able to ......."

The time has reached about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, can Li Shifo find a way to break the game?

The game continues step by step. In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang was still calmly maneuvering with his opponent.

One of the best wars of the game is coming soon. (To be continued......) u
