In the research room, when Liu Changhyuk made that step of "ecstasy", Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo began to tell Reporter Park in detail how the two of them and Liu Changhe studied ways to deal with Li Xiaoqiang yesterday.

"There are actually only two general principles of the so-called targeted play: first, find a way to play to your strengths, and second, find a way to grasp the weaknesses of your opponent. What we discussed yesterday was not complicated, in fact, it was from these two points, and to be honest, the so-called game strategy in Go is nothing more than this in most cases......"

"Let's talk about Changhe first, what is the biggest advantage of Changhe? We usually think that there are two points, first, Chang Hyuk's strength is great, especially his attack ability is outstanding in the entire Go world. The second is that Chang Hyuk is very smart in chess, to put it mildly, his kung fu of "watching people cook" is a super-first-class ...... in the Go world"

Speaking of this, Cao Yanzi smiled slightly wryly:

"But it's a pity, although these two points are Chang He's advantages, but when he faces Li Xiaoqiang, they can't be his advantages, because in these two aspects, it happens to be Li Xiaoqiang's forte. Chang Hyuk has always been inferior to Li Xiaoqiang before, and he has been one-sided with Li Xiaoqiang's record, which is not without reason. Because in these two aspects, Li Xiaoqiang seems to be better than Chang He, and his strongest point is not as good as others, so this chess game will naturally be tied. ”

Regarding Cao Yanzi's statement, reporter Park basically agrees with it in his heart. Yoo Chang-hyuk has a lot of power, but no one thinks he can be bigger than Li Xiaoqiang - the first game that just ended should be a testament to that.

As for the kung fu of "watching people cook", although Liu Changhe is very capable in this regard, he is still not as famous as Li Xiaoqiang in this regard. You know, this is what Li Xiaoqiang relied on to become famous. When Li Xiaoqiang first debuted, he participated in the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament in his early years, and Li Xiaoqiang's kung fu of "watching people cook" was already famous all over the world.

"The comprehensive strength is not comparable to others, and their own advantages cannot be played in front of others. So what else can you do if you want to win? After thinking about it, the three of us thought that we still had to make a fuss about Li Xiaoqiang's weaknesses......"

"Oh? Cao Guoshou means that everyone has found Li Xiaoqiang's weakness? ”

I can't blame reporter Park for asking so eagerly, in fact, in the entire world chess world, especially the Korean chess world and the Japanese chess world, "What is Li Xiaoqiang's weakness?" "It's always been a hot topic.

"Of course Li Xiaoqiang has weaknesses, as long as humans play chess, there are always weaknesses, the difference is only whether you can catch other people's weaknesses. The three of us discussed for a long time yesterday, and we synthesized Changhyuk's own characteristics. It is believed that Li Xiaoqiang may have a weakness that can be exploited. As for what Li Xiaoqiang's weakness is......"

Speaking of this, a very weird smile hung on the corner of Cao Yanzi's mouth:

“…… This opinion was put forward by the Stone Buddha, so let the Stone Buddha explain it to you. ”

Reporter Park turned his attention to Li Shifo, but Li Shifo's words were very brief:

"We think Li Xiaoqiang sometimes plays too much, maybe this can be exploited."

"Oh?"

Although Li Shifo's words are very brief, at this moment the Park reporter has fully understood what Li Shifo meant, Li Xiao's forced chess has always liked to be proactive, and sometimes many of his moves are between "positive" and "excessive". To be honest, this is not Li Xiaoqiang's shortcoming, a more accurate description should be said to be a characteristic of Li Xiaoqiang. Many chess players have a headache for Li Xiaoqiang's characteristic. Because if you don't have that strength, even if Li Xiaoqiang makes an excessive move, it will be difficult for you to catch it, and once you can't catch it. Then an over-the-top move will turn into a good move.

In this world, there are not many chess players who can grasp Li Xiaoqiang's weakness, and Li Shifo is barely the most sure one. At this time, reporter Park also knew why Cao Yanzi was smiling so weirdly just now.

Because of this characteristic of Li Xiaoqiang, it happens to be Cao Yanzi's forte. Cao Yanzi's "soft wind and fast gun" is actually this style. Why is Li Shifo able to grasp Li Xiaoqiang's weaknesses better than others? His ability was obtained through Cao Yanzi's hard work.

But after figuring it all out. Reporter Park did not appear happy, and he is even more shocked now:

"No wonder the current Li Xiaoqiang is considered the most difficult chess player in the entire world chess world, he is indeed quite comprehensive. The top three players in Korean chess. Liu Changhe is also good at what he is best at, and Cao Yanzi is even better at it, no wonder the two of them are always at a loss when they meet Li Xiaoqiang, this year Cao Yanzi lost three games in the hands of Li Xiaoqiang, which is actually the same reason as Liu Changhe's loss. Fortunately, we still have Li Shifo, at least Li Shifo can barely compete with Li Xiaoqiang......"

Yes, in the heart of reporter Park, he does think that Li Shifo is just "reluctantly" able to compete with Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Shifo's official kung fu is the first in the world, but Li Xiaoqiang's official kung fu is not bad, not to mention the top 3 in the world, there is no problem in ranking Li Xiaoqiang's official kung fu in the top 5 in the world.

But what about other than official kung fu? In other technical fields, Li Shifo has no advantage over Li Xiaoqiang. Needless to say, mid-market power, layout? Now everyone is commenting that Li Xiaoqiang's layout is becoming more and more reasonable. Although it may not have reached the heights of Fujisawa Hideyuki or Nie Whirlwind, it is now among the top in the world.

As for Li Shifo's layout kung fu, let alone Li Shifo, it seems that in the entire Korean chess world, there is no one who can be called a good layout kung fu.

Therefore, although reporter Park is very reluctant to admit it, his heart can't deceive himself, in his heart, he still thinks that Li Xiaoqiang is slightly stronger than Li Shifo.

If Li Shifo wants to defeat Li Xiaoqiang, he must "put the chess game into the track he is good at". On the other hand, Li Xiaoqiang, let's not mention that even if his Li Shifo fights an official battle, he may not lose.

The most important point is that with Li Xiaoqiang's comprehensiveness and Li Xiaoqiang's super ability to guide the chess game, it is impossible for him to let Li Shifo "put the chess game into the track he is good at" in every game.

"So Chang He's previous move is also the result of everyone's careful planning......

Reporter Park tried to put some of the negativity behind him and focus his attention on today's match.

"Of course! If you want to lure Li Xiaoqiang into taking the bait, it is not an easy task. But fortunately, Chang Hyuk played quite well today, and saw him "break" this step. Our efforts yesterday were always in vain......"

Cao Yanzi smiled when she said this. And Li Shifo, who was standing next to him, also had a smile on his face.

The reason why Liu Changhe played chess so firmly in front of him was that he was certainly not intimidated by the first game of chess as Luo Shenzhu said. His only purpose in doing this, of course, was to prepare for the battle later!

Many people think that playing chess with their teeth and claws is called attack, but in fact, this idea is wrong. In fact, the situation that is most conducive to combat is the situation that Liu Chang-hyuk played today, first playing his own chess firmly and letting his chess have few flaws, and this is the most favorable situation for combat.

Of course. Yoo Chang-hyuk is also risky today. Because although the playing method he adopts today is conducive to combat, it is sometimes synonymous with "low efficiency", if Li Xiaoqiang does not give him the opportunity to fight, then it is very likely that he will really be like Luo Shenzhu said, and he will "euthanize" the whole game of chess.

So to put it bluntly, Liu Changhe is actually gambling, he bets that Li Xiaoqiang will definitely make excessive moves, and he bets that Li Xiaoqiang will definitely make unreasonable moves, so that he can have the opportunity to strike a thunderous blow.

Fortunately for Yoo Chang-hyuk. In other words, unfortunately for Li Xiaoqiang, such an opportunity was finally waited for by Liu Changhe.

Because there is already a win at the bottom of the set, because the front has been smooth. This made Li Xiaoqiang relax some of his vigilance. Coupled with Li Xiaoqiang's usual chess habits, coupled with people's careful preparation......

The total total factors are put together. Li Xiaoqiang's inadvertent step was caught by others, and now he has been severely cracked down.

On the side of the Chinese research lineup, at this time, reporter Zhang Da was nervously asking.

"Yikes! Xiaoqiang's step in front of him was a bit casual. was "broken" by others...... It seems a little difficult now, so what should Xiaoqiang do now? ”

"If it's difficult, it's going to be done, and now Li Xiaoqiang is facing it. It is a melee situation that is not good for one's situation. Now we can only see if he can find a chance in the next scuffle......"

Judging from the chess shape, the "break" that Liu Changhe just made is a bit similar to the famous "lovesick break". However, unlike "Acacia", the function of "Acacia" is to connect. And Liu Changhe's step of "breaking" is a real cut-off, a one-step break to cut off victory!

On the side of the South Korean lineup, reporter Park was also asking:

"So Cao Guoshou, can Chang He's step of "breaking" be called a decisive hand? ”

Cao Yanzi replied with a smile:

"I don't think it's enough, if Chang Hyuk wants to win this game, he still has to work hard, after all, his opponent is Li Xiaoqiang."

"Oh?"

"But even though his opponent is Li Xiaoqiang, I still think Chang Hyuk can get the final victory. Because if he can't even grasp this situation, then ......"

"So what?"

"Then he doesn't qualify for the World Series finals!"

It should be said that Cao Yanzi's words still make sense. After all, Liu Changhyuk is one of the top players in the world today, and his current competitive form is extremely good.

The most important thing is that Liu Changhe is carefully prepared today, while Li Xiaoqiang is caught off guard. So the final result of this game -

At about 5:30 p.m., the second game of the 3rd "Ying's Cup" five-way chess final ended, and Liu Changhe defeated Li Xiaoqiang with an advantage of "3 points". The result was exactly the same as in Game 1.

1 to 1! In the first two games, the two sides temporarily played 1-1.

After Yoo Chang-hyuk pulled back a game beautifully, the trend of the entire five-game chess became confusing again. At this time, the direction of the entire public opinion has also quietly undergone some changes. At least not as one-sidedly as it was 1 day ago.

Of course, this can't be blamed on the lack of discipline in the media, and like many competitive sports, the biggest charm of the game is its unpredictable outcome and defeat.

After the first two games, although there are many people who think that Li Xiaoqiang has a much greater chance of winning through "rational analysis". For example, South Korea's reporter Park published an article on "rational analysis" in the South Korean media. However, even if he is a "rational" reporter like Park, he is still looking forward to the next 3 games:

“…… When Lin Haifeng challenged Sakata Eio, all "rational analysis" believed that Mr. Sakata had the absolute upper hand. Eight years ago, when Cao Yanzi and Nie Whirlwind competed for the championship of the first "Ying's Cup", all "rational analysis" believed that Mr. Nie would win the final victory. The author has noticed that the situation this time is actually a bit similar to the previous two times. Now all the "rational analysis" still thinks that Li Xiaoqiang has a certain upper hand, including the author, to be honest with everyone, when the author himself conducts "rational analysis", he also thinks so in his heart. But what about the end result? What will the end result look like? At this time, of course, the author could not say anything. The only thing I can say right now is that I'm looking forward to the next three games......"

Not only is reporter Park looking forward to it, but in fact, many people are looking forward to it. There are even many people who are beginning to worry about Li Xiaoqiang. Because reporter Park brought out the examples of Lin Haifeng and Nie Whirlwind. There seemed to be some truth in his words

There is a one-week gap between Game 2 and Game 3. After the end of the second game, Liu Changhe and others flew back to China. But Mr. Wu Qingyuan stayed in the capital, and the old man is now old and can't afford to toss back and forth like this.

On this day, in the Chinese Chess Academy, Li Xiaoqiang had a "Weijia" match with Gu Dali, and Mr. Wu Qingyuan actually appeared with great interest.

"Xiaoqiang, come, I'll talk to you a few words."

At this time, there were many people in the chess courtyard, and when everyone saw this scene:

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Wu Qingyuan wants to give Li Xiaoqiang a few words now......"

Including Li Xiaoqiang, many people think so at this time. Therefore, when Li Xiaoqiang came to Mr. Wu Qingyuan's side, Zhang Da reporter, Chang Rensheng, and even Gu Dali and others surrounded him.

"I heard that among the ancient Chinese chess players, Xiao Qiang admires Shi Xiangxia the most, can you tell me why?"

After hearing Mr. Wu say this, Li Xiaoqiang was stunned, he didn't expect Mr. Wu to start with this topic. Without waiting for Li Xiaoqiang to answer, Mr. Wu Qingyuan continued:

"It is said that with your style, you should be more similar to Fan Xiping's chess style, but Li Shifo's simple chess style is more similar to Shi Xiangxia......"

When he said this, Mr. Wu Qingyuan smiled and asked the person next to him:

"Isn't that right?"

What else to say, everyone naturally echoed in unison, and reporter Zhang Da laughed happily:

"Yes, yes, Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo, that's the current Fan Shi......"

You can't blame reporter Zhang Da for smiling so happily, although Shi Xiangxia and Fan Xiping are top masters of the same level. But the status of these two people is still slightly different, the so-called "Fan Shi Fan Shi", few people say "Shi Fan". This is actually the same meaning as "Li Xiaoqiang No. 1, Li Shifo No. 2".

When reporter Zhang Da was laughing, Li Xiaoqiang was not laughing. He was thinking about what Mr. Wu meant by bringing up the topic.

What does Mr. Wu want to say? (To be continued.) )

PS: Among the older generation of chess players in South Korea, the author has actually always liked Liu Changhyuk, firstly, he was born as an amateur chess player, and secondly, many people know that Yoo Changhyuk was an "internationalist warrior" back then. Back then, it brought a lot of joy to chess fans like me. Therefore, I have always wanted to find a plate of Liu Changhyuk's masterpiece to introduce to you. Later, I flipped through some chess games and found that Liu Changhe's masterpieces are really hard to find, at least there are no classic masterpieces like Lin Haifeng's "Knocking on the Bridge and Not Crossing" or Li Shifo's "Modern Version of the Idle Wonderful Hand".

However, on the whole, I am personally satisfied with Xiaoqiang's defeat in this game, because I think I have written the characteristics of Liu Changhyuk. In addition, I would like to say to some people that if the defeat included in the chess tournament is unacceptable. Then this book, I don't really know how to write it.
