Chapter 505: Big Kill, Small Win or Lose
From more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the 60th move of the whole world, Li Xiaoqiang and Nie Whirlwind's big killing game, this game of chess almost attracted the attention of everyone in the research room.
To briefly divide it, the "offensive and defensive battles" in Go are generally divided into several modes. One is the kind that needs to be calculated, which is the so-called "kung fu chess", such as the kind that Ma Xiaofei and Cao Yanzi are doing now. However, these games tend to be too bland and boring for spectators.
There is also a kind of offensive and defensive battle that looks more exciting, such as the historical game of Hideyuki Fujisawa vs. Masao Kato, which is known as the "Hundred Eyes Killing Chess". But if you really want to talk about it, this kind of chess is exciting, but it often seems monotonous. For this kind of big killing game of winning if you live and losing if you die, it often fails to reflect the other connotations of Go.
Li Xiaoqiang and Nie Whirlwind's match today seems to be in between. Compared with "Kung Fu Chess", this kind of chess is more exciting. Compared with the "hundred-eyed killing chess", this kind of chess seems to have more connotation. Because you want to play such a good game, you must take into account the officials while thinking about life and death. And when calculating officials, you must worry about life and death. It can be said that playing such chess is quite a test of the comprehensive quality of chess players.
Not only that, when such a situation occurs, the changes are often extremely complex, and various unexpected transformations may be formed, and various transformations often mean all kinds of vicissitudes on the chessboard. Therefore, such a game will seem quite enjoyable even for professional chess players.
For example, today's game of chess, everyone is very enjoyable to watch. From more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, an extremely complicated and difficult offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than three hours.
Because Nie Whirlwind adopted a rather bold "killing" strategy. Therefore, in the process of this large-scale offensive and defensive battle, the real empty base camp of black chess was trampled by Li Xiaoqiang. But Nie Whirlwind is not without reliance, when the chess game is in progress, Li Xiaoqiang's white chess is not much better, and he is burdened by that lone chess, in order to ensure the safety of this chess. Li Xiaoqiang can only compromise everywhere. Wherever the dragon passed, White's original sphere of influence could be described as scorched earth.
In this way, your territory becomes mine, and my territory becomes yours. The chessboard is already a sea of vicissitudes of all kinds.
But this game of chess looks good, so it looks good here. Until the overall more than 240 moves, the entire offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than 180 moves. There is a delicate balance on the chessboard. The whole situation is still chaotic, and at this time, no one can see the final victory or defeat.
"Big kills, small wins and losses, this is the real big kill, small wins and losses......" Zhang Da reporter sighed while watching chess.
The game can be played like this. It should be said that both sides played at a high level in the game. Needless to say, there are many kinds of tesuji, and the many transformations that appear on the chessboard are overwhelming. Some of the wonderful ideas and subtle methods presented by the two sides will be amazed even by many professional masters in the research room.
But no matter how good the game is, there is always an end. By a little over 5 p.m., the game was already counting. At this time, a total of more than 260 lots were carried out. The whole chess game has entered the most critical moment, and the large-scale and complex offensive and defensive battle is coming to an end, and the final moment to decide the outcome of the game seems to be coming.
So at this time, who is closer to the final victory?
In the research room, reporter Zhang Da has long given up studying chess games by himself. Although this game of chess seems to have entered the stage of petty officials. But in the eyes of reporter Zhang Da, the large-scale offensive and defensive battle is not over. Because of the hard indicator to measure the end of the offensive and defensive war: Li Xiaoqiang's lone piece of chess has not been alive yet. If you just want to simply live chess, it is very easy, and even Zhang Da reporter can see several ways to live. But you must know that such a life or death also involves officials. How to carry out the most correct containment is something that reporter Zhang Da has not been able to grasp.
Therefore, reporter Zhang Da could only arrest the Chinese delegation's translator Li. urged him to ask for the opinion of a Korean master: "You go and ask, you go and ask them, who is better in the current situation, tsk." Lao Nie was able to play like this with Xiao Qiang, even if he lost this game of chess, he would still be honored......"
To say that although reporter Zhang Da can't tell who is good and who is bad now, in his subconscious, he still thinks that Li Xiaoqiang has a better chance of winning in this game of chess. Because in his opinion. A chaotic war situation like this was originally Li Xiaoqiang's strong point, and it was unwise for Nie Whirlwind to choose such a method as today. It's remarkable to be able to hold on to this point. But after questioning, Translator Li clearly told him:
"Now they agree that the situation of black chess is good, and although the advantage of black chess is not large, if the most normal closure is followed, Lao Nie is very likely to win the final victory."
"Huh?!"
"Yes, that's what they said......" Facing the questioning gaze of reporter Zhang Da, Li Translator continued to add: "You also saw it just now, I just asked about Liu Changhe, his tone was very affirmative, and he also told me that Lao Nie is very amazing......"
Reporter Zhang Dae's attention was on the research lineup of Korean chess players.
Starting from more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, because this game of chess is extremely complicated, when everyone is dismantling the chess, the research room has already been divided into two camps. Since this game is Nie Whirlwind's main attack, Liu Changhyuk and Seo Bong-su are "attacking" professional chess players who specialize in studying the attack methods of black chess. In response, another group of professional chess players, led by Li Shifo, was looking for defensive countermeasures for white.
"Amazing! Mr. Nie. ”
At this time, Liu Changhe in the research room said this from the bottom of his heart. Because Liu Changhe helped the black chess to think of a way for an afternoon, he is now full of "sense of substitution", in this case, Liu Changhe, who is known as the "world's first attacker", can say this, which shows how good Nie Whirlwind's game of chess is.
After Liu Changhe praised Nie Whirlwind, he looked up at Li Shifo, who was sitting opposite him. It's as if he was playing this game with Li Shifo:
"How about Shi Buddha, there should be no way to think of white chess now, right? If nothing else, then according to the normal constraints, I think black should be able to win by a small margin. ”
Li Shifo bowed his head and was silent, he was still thinking about something on the chessboard. At this time, he also seems to be full of "substitution", and he is still helping white find a way to win.
After a long time, Li Shifo slowly raised his head and said in his characteristic mosquito voice:
"You're right, Mr. Nie is indeed amazing, if he does a layman exchange here......" Li Shifo pointed to a place on the chessboard, and Liu Changhe and the others looked at the chessboard with Li Shifo's fingers:
“…… If this is exchanged, then white will definitely lose. But there has been no exchange here, so it is likely that there will be variables in this game......"
Liu Changhe is also a top master, and some things can be understood at a glance. When he saw the problem pointed out by Li Shifo. At this time, he could only smile bitterly, and at the same time admired Li Shifo's official level. Indeed, he is not the only one who is helping Heiqi find a way today, so many people are working together, but Li Shifo is the only one who finds the problem.
This is not because everyone's research is not serious, but because the problem pointed out by Li Shifo is too inconspicuous. It's just a one-step layman, a step that doesn't have any meshes, and it doesn't seem to have any effect. As is the custom of most professional chess players, such moves are usually retained. Because that move seems to be only a robbery, and when no one plays chess, they will lose a robbery for no reason.
But today's game of chess is a bit special, and Li Shifo saw the necessity of exchanging hands. In the vast majority of cases, the only effect of the exchange of hands is to remove some variation on the board.
What Li Shifo saw was that the change that black chess did not eliminate was actually a hidden danger left by black chess itself, a hidden danger that was enough to subvert the victory or defeat!
"Do you think he'll be able to spot the change?" After re-studying the side, Liu Changhe suddenly asked Li Shifo such a question. Although this question sounds clueless, Yoo Chang-hyuk's meaning is actually very clear.
The current situation is very clear, since Nie Whirlwind has not taken that step to exchange hands, it means that he has not noticed this problem yet. What about Li Xiaoqiang? Will he be able to spot that change? Can he find the only way to win that so many professional masters have not found in the countdown?
What's even more disadvantageous to Li Xiaoqiang is that now Nie Whirlwind is also counting seconds, what if he needs to "fight"? What if he happened to regard this step of the exchange of vulgar hands as a "fighter"......
Faced with such a question, of course Li Shifo was not easy to answer, he smiled at Liu Changhe:
"Let's see the actual battle, the result should be known soon......"
At about half past five in the afternoon, the latest chess game was transmitted to the research room, and at this time, a total of more than 270 hands were carried out, Nie Whirlwind still did not exchange the vulgar hands, and Li Xiaoqiang did not seem to notice the change. You can only continue to wait.
At 5:40 p.m., there were more than 10 moves on the chess score, but Nie Whirlwind still didn't make that exchange, and Li Xiaoqiang didn't play the change that could be won. But at this time, Li Shifo said:
"Well, I feel like he's noticed that change......"
Why did Li Shifo say this? Because in these more than 10 moves, Li Xiaoqiang is "playing generals", and he is frequently "playing generals"!
Was Li Shifo's guess correct?
At around 5:50 p.m., in the game room, in the urging of the second counting, Li Xiaoqiang raised his head, and he glanced at Nie Whirlwind a little embarrassed.
Li Xiaoqiang fell into a decisive move...... (To be continued.) )
