Beijing, China Chess Academy. () The top 8 of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup" is still in full swing. It is already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the game has lasted for more than 5 hours, and when the other games are about to be decided, the battle between Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Xu Bong-so seems to have just begun.

In the game room, with the end of Li Xiaoqiang's long exam, when Li Xiaoqiang's chosen move was presented in front of his opponent. Mr. Seo Bong-so's face suddenly turned flushed, and his expression suddenly became grim. Li Xiaoqiang even noticed that Mr. Seo Bong-so's panicked look flashed, and then he began to bury his head in nervous calculations.

That's right, after a long examination, Li Xiaoqiang chose the most fierce counterattack. He played the move that forcibly "breaked". To be honest, the reason why Mr. Seo Bong-so dared to play that "slightly unreasonable" move in front of him was that he thought that his opponent would not dare to make this move to "break".

But when the opponent really took this step to "break up", especially after Li Xiaoqiang took the long test for more than an hour, he still took the strongest response to this step. Then even Mr. Seo Bong-so will feel flustered.

Li Xiaoqiang firmly believes that the reason why Mr. Xu Bong-so played that move was just a feeling, or a sense of smell. That is a kind of "professional smell" unique to Mr. Seo Bong-so, but it is impossible for him to calculate all the changes that follow.

In a way, when the battle here officially starts, his calculation depth must be much stronger than that of his opponent. Because during this hour, I am in a state of "active thinking". And what about Mr. Seo Bong-so? He couldn't just be idle there, though. But since there are so many variations to choose from, he doesn't know which one he will choose. Therefore, on this most complicated path, it is impossible for him to calculate as deep as himself.

For this reason, Li Xiaoqiang is not worried about his "time crisis". Because in the next period of time, you can make full use of your opponent's retention time to think. Unless, of course, the opponent is able to play a move that he did not expect, that's another matter.

In this particular situation at the moment. Will Mr. Seo Bong-so be able to play such a game? Li Xiaoqiang believes that although this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, the chance of its emergence should be small. Because when this situation is formed, although the whole situation becomes extremely tense and complicated, the "main contradictions" on the chessboard also become unexpectedly concentrated. That's the way you play Go, when you really need to "play hard", most "whimsy" doesn't do much. Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang is not worried about any "accidents" for the time being.

"Interesting, this chess is interesting. Since Xiaoqiang has been taking the exam for so long, I guess he should be able to figure out the changes in the future, right? I just don't know where he's going to do it first. Is it to govern one's own solitary chess first? Or the big dragon who attacked the opponent first......"

Yes, when Li Xiaoqiang made the toughest choice. A rather peculiar situation appeared on the chessboard. Originally, at the very beginning, the two pieces of black and white were mutually contained, and it was precisely because of this delicate containment relationship that the situation in front was relatively peaceful, at least no one would want to kill the chess.

However, because of Li Xiaoqiang's "breaking" move, it seems that the entire chessboard is forcibly divided into two independent pieces. Li Xiaoqiang's lone piece fell into the "sphere of influence" of the black chess. And what about the solitary piece of black? I can't get in touch with my "base camp" anymore.

In this way, the containment relationship between these two pieces of solitary chess is completely severed. It seems that it is necessary to "separate the process". must all find a way to survive in the opponent's sphere of influence. The handling of these two solitary pieces has also become the biggest focus on the chessboard. It is even the key to determining the outcome of the game.

To say that when Li Xiaoqiang chooses this move, his white piece should be considered more dangerous. Because in the previous exchanges, one of the "eye positions" of the white piece has been damaged, then in this way, the lone piece that has fallen into the sphere of influence of the black piece also looks precarious.

But in the beginning. The Chinese players in the viewing room still looked very relaxed. They weren't worried about Mr. Li. Because in everyone's opinion, although the solitary piece of white seems to be a bit "dangerous", it is only "dangerous", and there should be no problem of dead chess.

Isn't there something like a mantra in Go? It's called "Chess is a foot long." Living without eyes". After all, the general perception is that white only needs to have enough room for maneuver, such as today's situation. Then "curing orphans" is still much simpler than "slaying dragons".

What's more, everyone is out of trust in Li Xiaoqiang: you Li Xiaoqiang just took the test for more than an hour, and then you inexplicably walked out of a dead chess piece. So what do you mean?

Therefore, before everyone had time to calculate, everyone still believed in Li Xiaoqiang very much, and no one thought that Li Xiaoqiang's white chess would die.

Therefore, when the battle had just started, reporter Zhang Da was even in the mood to continue his "guessing activity". He was guessing what Li Xiaoqiang would do over there.

However, when the time reached about 4:30 o'clock, there were more than 10 more moves on the board. Team Leader Hua and Ma Xiaofei's expressions began to become grim, and at this time, reporter Zhang Da was not in the mood to gamble. At this moment, he even stammered:

"This ...... What's going on? Xiaoqiang can't really miscalculate, right? Difficult...... Could it be that even Xiaoqiang will "take the stinky chess test for a long time"......"

Yes, if you only look at these 10 or so moves, Li Xiaoqiang really seems to have miscalculated. When black and white broke off each other, Li Xiaoqiang chose to deal with his lone chess first. It should be said that Li Xiaoqiang's choice did not surprise everyone's expectations. Because unless it is the lone piece that can kill the black piece, then you can ignore the big dragon of yourself. Otherwise, if you just think about "attacking to make a profit", then white will still need to go back and deal with the life and death of this piece in the end. Rather than that, it's better to start in this place first.

Such a sequence is generally not easy to mistake. If white preemptively attacks black, if it does not gain a large profit, it is suspected of "selling the change". At the very least, a lot of looting materials will be lost.

Obviously, Li Xiaoqiang does not seem to be able to make such a low-level mistake. His choice of actual combat seems to be to preemptively deal with his lone chess. Unfortunately, as the game continues step by step, the number of hands on the board increases. As other players delve deeper into this local change. No matter how you look at it, it looks like Li Xiaoqiang has made a "miscalculation".

Wait until the whole game is played with more than 90 moves. Now even reporter Zhang Da can see that Li Xiaoqiang seems to have really made a mistake this time.

"It's over, I think it's really over this time! Xiaoqiang must have ignored this trick of black, right? This...... What's going on? Xiaoqiang has been down for a long time, why did he kill his big dragon like this? In this place, white must have lost at least 30 meshes! This. How can you play this chess......

When the whole game was about 100 moves, when white suddenly and inexplicably killed a piece of chess, especially after Liu Dazhui pointed out Li Xiaoqiang's possible "cause of defeat". So people are silent.

Indeed, judging from Li Xiaoqiang's previous series of methods, his various methods of treating orphans are very skillful, and his ideas for treating orphans seem to be very right. The only thing he didn't notice. It seems to be a very clever resistance for black.

Therefore, when this white piece "dies suddenly", everyone will think that Liu Dazhui's inference is very reasonable.

So what's really going on on the chessboard? Let's start with Li Xiaoqiang's series of techniques.

Half an hour ago, Li Xiaoqiang's most important issue was to cure orphans. To be honest, there are no certain rules for treating orphans in Go. So in this situation, what kind of thinking is the most effective way to treat orphans? Generally speaking, as a party to the orphan cure, as long as you grasp two principles, then the orphan curing will be easier than you think.

The first principle of treating orphans: you can't just look at your own chess, you must find a way to find a way to catch the opponent's weaknesses. If you can do that, then you'll find that "codeeye" is actually relatively easy to do.

The second principle of orphan control: that is, as the party who treats orphans, you had better try your best to "create robbery". Because as long as there is a "robbery". In most cases, due to the existence of a lot of "self-robbery", it should be beneficial to the lone party.

Why else would Li Xiaoqiang always boast that he is actually very "reasonable" in playing chess? You can see it in this place. Right in today's game. When Li Xiaoqiang dealt with his lone chess, he came according to these two principles. Not only that, but in these 10 rounds in the past. Li Xiaoqiang seems to be doing a good job.

In the process of Li Xiaoqiang's treatment of orphans, he grasped the weaknesses of several other pieces of black chess, and he not only tightly entangled these pieces of black chess, but also successfully let these black pieces get involved in the "kill". Of course, this is in line with the "first principle of orphan management".

At the same time, Li Xiaoqiang also tried his best to create several "robbery disputes". From this point of view, Li Xiaoqiang's approach seems to be in line with the "second principle of treating orphans".

However, it is a pity that in this period of competition, Li Xiaoqiang's performance is good. However, black clearly looked better. Mr. Seo Bong-so is really not a "field commander" of Korean Go. In this section of the offensive and defensive battle, he not only calculated accurately, but also played a method that is rare in Go.

Because of the existence of his means, he resolved the robbery provoked by Li Xiaoqiang invisibly. He will also win the final victory in the "matchup" provoked by Li Xiaoqiang. He didn't even give white a chance to "rob the game".

The method used by Xu Bongzhu is the method that Liu Dazhui thinks Li Xiaoqiang has ignored. The chess killing method used by Xu Bongsu is a more interesting "shaking and robbing net killing method" in Go!

If you want to talk about the "swinging robbery" in Go, it is the same as many interesting chess shapes in Go. This kind of chess is not very difficult, but it is still relatively rare in actual combat. It is precisely because this kind of chess form is relatively rare that everyone thinks that Li Xiaoqiang may have ignored this method.

But then again, when this kind of "rocking robbery" really occurs in actual combat, especially in this kind of large-scale "killing" situation, then its power is still very huge. The most interesting thing about this type of chess is that on the surface it looks like "robbery", but it is not.

The real effect of "Swinging the Boat" is to "clean kill"!

For example, in today's game of chess, when black and white form a duet, on the surface, white has no other "external qi", and the black chess involved in the duel kill still has a "foreign qi". Since there are still 2 "monolithic robberies" here, it seems that white can also use the robbery to win a "foreign breath". But it's useless, because when white plays one of the robes, white needs to find an external robber. Black, on the other hand, can do without, because he has an extra breath of air, he can take advantage of this pause of white chess to play another "monolithic robbery". And pay special attention: in this process, white needs to consume looting, but what about black? He doesn't have to consume looting materials.

So you can imagine that it's like a "rocking oar". Black can take advantage of the characteristics of this shape and make himself more aggressive than white.

You know, although white seems to be able to continue to resist with robbery, there is always a time when you run out of robbery on the board. And when all the looting materials on your board are used up, it is the so-called "robbery and death" in Go......

Just today, in the match between Lee Xiaoqiang and Mr. Seo Bong-so. At almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when Liu Qing once again transmitted the latest chess games to the research room. When everyone really saw that Li Xiaoqiang was about to have a situation of "robbing all the chess and dying". Everyone looked at each other. At this moment,

"Li Xiaoqiang is going to lose ...... this time"

The thought is irrepressible in everyone's mind.

Indeed, it is very normal for people to think like this. Because of the existence of this "rocking robbery". Then this solitary piece of white is already equivalent to "net death". You know, at present, the number of dead discs in white has reached about 25, which is equivalent to about 50 meshes if you want to convert it into meshes.

Although it is said that this place was originally the "sphere of influence" of black. As a result, White's losses were not as great as expected. But a loss of more than 30 mesh is the minimum.

In a game of this level, around 100 moves, one side suddenly loses more than 30 meshes. So who can expect him to pull it back? I'm afraid I don't dare, even if Li Xiaoqiang is a real "wizard". I'm afraid that others don't dare to expect him to get it back. Therefore, at this moment, all the Chinese present are worried about Li Xiaoqiang.

The so-called "misfortune is not a single line, blessing is incomparable". It's about the same time. There was another piece of bad news from the arena. It was less than 5 p.m., when neither side had yet to go into the countdown. Nie Whirlwind was the first to lose in the contest with Masao Kato.

"What's going on? Just half an hour ago, wasn't Lao Nie's situation very good......"

When Team Leader Hua just learned the news, everyone couldn't believe their ears. Everyone gathered around Chang Rensheng to ask. This news was just passed by Chang Rensheng. He was the biographer in charge of Nie Whirlwind's game. Facing everyone's questions, Chang Rensheng shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"I was unconscious, and Mr. Nie was unconscious again...... Originally, his situation was not bad, but not long ago, Mr. Nie had just made a blind move, and he was so angry that he was angry when he was fighting. So he's now thrown in the towel......"

After hearing the news, Team Leader Hua was speechless. Because in the recent past, this situation of Nie Whirlwind has appeared several times. Everyone doesn't know what to say, and everyone knows very well in their hearts that Lao Nie's situation is not all factors in the chessboard. Therefore, everyone can only expect him to adjust slowly.

"How's our boss's chess going?"

After Chang Rensheng reported Nie Whirlwind's situation, he began to ask about Li Xiaoqiang's game.

"See for yourself......"

For Chang Rensheng's question, Team Leader Hua answered a little listlessly. Indeed, as for the management of Chinese Go. When the game came to this point, Team Leader Hua must have been depressed enough. You must know that the Chinese Chess Academy has only just been established. Strictly speaking, this "Toyo Securities Cup" is the first time that the Chinese Chess Academy has hosted a world competition. What's even worse is that the next top 4 matches are still held in this place.

If there is no Chinese chess player in the next top 4 battles, it seems to be a very faceless thing for the entire Chinese Go community. Therefore, at this time, Team Leader Hua's mood can be imagined.

"Awesome, our boss's idea is amazing! I am sure that this "rocking robbery" is definitely not a mistake of our boss. He couldn't have made such a mistake either! He must have done it on purpose. Do you think that's the case, Mr. Ma? Now it seems that our boss's preparations are ready. He was about to raise the butcher's knife, and I guess Mr. Seo Bong-so must be in danger this time......"

Just when Team Leader Hua was still thinking nonsense. He suddenly heard Chang Rensheng say such words again, so he had to dare not believe his ears again.

Wait for Team Leader Hua to come back to his senses. In front of him, there was such a scene: 15-year-old Chang Rensheng was standing in the center of the chessboard. He seemed to be analyzing Li Xiaoqiang's train of thought. On either side of him were Ma Xiaofei and Liu Dazhui. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, it seems that they still agree with Chang Rensheng's opinion very much. Because they've been nodding their heads there all the time.

Immediately afterwards, with the three of them as the mainstay, the surrounding chess players began to conduct more in-depth research on Li Xiaoqiang's game. They quickly laid out various reference drawings on the chessboard. At the same time, the smiles on their faces seemed to grow.

Team Leader Hua swears: Judging from their smiles, they seem to have seen victory beckoning to Li Xiaoqiang!

"What the hell is going on......

At this time, Team Leader Hua surrounded him suspiciously, and Zhang Da reporters also surrounded them......

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang at this time was still calm step by step.

He seemed to be brewing his own thunderous blow. (To be continued......)
