Go Legend Chapter 129

Chapter 129 The fierce battle at the beginning

On the second day, the second round of the 4th "Chunlan Cup" continued in the Chinese Chess Academy. 16 players competed for the top eight in the World Championship.

Since there are as many as 9 Chinese chess players participating in this round of chess, this leads to the fact that in the 8 chess games played today, there are Chinese chess players in every game. It is Chang Hao VS Ding Wei.

In this way, it is not easy for spectators to focus. At least today, the battle of Li Xiangping VS Li Shishi is not the most watched game.

Li Shishi is still a "rookie" in the eyes of everyone, and Li Xiangping, although he is already a world champion, but a national individual competition and a "Tianyuan battle", a bit means to bring him back to his original form, it cannot be said that he is now It has been despised by others, but invisibly, everyone's expectations for him have actually dropped a lot.

And in such a world competition, what everyone pays most attention to is undoubtedly the champion, so everyone's eyes are always chasing the favorites to win the championship. As far as the Chinese chess world is now, everyone recognizes that the strongest are still Ma Xiaofei and Chang Hao. Chang Hao is in a civil war today, not to mention him. Ma Xiaofei, who was born in 1964, is nearly 40 years old, but he is still quite capable of playing. , at least now, he is still the best record of all Chinese chess players in the international arena, and is the object of everyone's reliance.

In real history, Ma Xiaofei at this time has actually gone downhill gradually, and he will really fade out around next year. However, he doesn't know what's going on in this world. He is usually very low-key, but before this "Chunlan Cup", he was rarely high-profile. He actually said that he has a new understanding of Go now, and strives to be able to retire before retiring. Take another world championship.

Everyone was shocked, because such a high profile was obviously not Ma Xiao's style. They quickly asked where his insights came from. Ma Xiao smiled and said three words: Li Xiangping!

Ma Xiaofei's opponent today is Zhang Xu, the star of hope in the Japanese chess world, so his game of chess ranks first in today's attention.

The second most watched game was Gu Dali, because his opponent today was Li Canghao. Just the names of these two chess players need not be explained too much. Gu Dali is the seed player of this tournament, so although this is the second round, it is his first game.

Considering that he hasn't taken off the "Old Round" hat yet, coupled with the opponent's Li Canghao, this game will naturally attract a lot of attention.

Because of these two games, Li Xiangping VS Li Shishi's battle can only be ranked third in terms of attention at best, and Yu Bin's game is on the same level.

Of course, this only happened to the attention of the chess academy's viewing room, and it was different from the chess fans. For example, in terms of online live broadcast, Li Xiangping has the largest number of people watching this game of chess on any live broadcast platform, especially Qingfeng.com. The number of spectators in his game of chess even exceeded the sum of the two games of Ma Xiaofei and Gu Dali.

This situation is of course normal. After all, Li Xiangping was born as an amateur chess player, and because of the bonus of 'excellent art', if it is really better than the 'mass foundation', then of course no one is deeper than him. You must know that even after Li Xiangping won the world championship, for more than half a year, in fact, "Exquisite Art" has not disappeared from the Internet.

For more than half a year, because Li Xiangping has honed his basic skills, he basically doesn't need to play chess with "Jieyi", but even if he doesn't play, Lao Shi still wants to practice chess, so recently, the account of 'Jieyi' It has always been used by Lao Shi, and it is precisely because this account is still active that it still maintains a high popularity.

Back to the viewing room of the Chess Academy, since the game officially started at 10 o'clock in the morning, because everyone was busy studying other people's chess, Li Xiangping's game can't be said to be completely ignored, but there are not many comments and comments.

However, there is a chess player who is different. He came to the chess academy from about 10:30 in the morning. After entering the research room, although he also watched other people's chess, it seemed that the focus was on watching Li Xiangping's game, and he was paying attention almost all the way. . It's just that he didn't make a sound while watching the battle.

And this chess player is Mr. Lin Haifeng who was eliminated by Lao Shi in the first round.

The time came around 11:30 in the morning, and Lao Nie, who was studying Ma Xiao's game of chess, was suddenly elated;

"Ha, Ma Xiao's chess move is great! This move is full of flavors. To be able to make such a move, it seems that Ma Xiao really didn't brag before the game. He really has new skills now? Mr. Lin, you Who are you looking at?"

Lao Nie noticed that Mr. Lin was also normal at this time, because Ma Xiao's opponent today was Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu was Mr. Lin's inner disciple.

After listening to Lao Nie's words, Mr. Lin turned to watch Ma Xiao's game of chess. After reading it, he also praised:

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ma's move is indeed very charming. With this move, he is already ahead of the general trend. Compared with his predecessors, the young man's understanding of chess is still not deep enough."

The "young people" in Lin Haifeng's mouth, of course, refers to his disciple Zhang Xu. After briefly commenting on this game, Mr. Lin said to Lao Nie:

"I have been watching Xiang Ping's chess game just now. I have always felt that many of Xiang Ping's play methods are quite similar to Mr.'s latest research, especially after playing against him this time. The feeling just got stronger, so I've been paying more attention to him."

"LOL, really?"

"Mr." in Lin Haifeng's mouth, of course, refers to Mr. Wu Qingyuan. The "Liuhe Zhiqi" and "The New Way to Play Go in the 21st Century" studied by Mr. Wu also began to be announced one after another at this time. It's just that in this era, many people disapprove of Mr. Wu's research, including Lao Nie, who once said to the outside world: what about Go in the 21st century, it doesn't exist at all.

How should I put it, Li Xiangping believes that this matter actually reflects the utilitarian nature of professional Go. Mr. Wu is indeed recognized that Taishan Beidou is good, but after all, he is already old, and he himself cannot participate in the game in person. .

In other words, those new moves he studied could not be verified through actual combat. And the utilitarian nature of professional Go is reflected here. Since it cannot be verified by actual combat, even if Mr. Wu proposed this method, most people still dare not accept it.

However, although Lao Nie disagrees with "21st Century Go", since Mr. Lin said, "Some of Li Xiangping's chess are very similar to Mr.'s new research", how can this be regarded as a compliment to Li Xiangping, so old Nie was still very happy, he said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, this kid Xiangping actually has a lot of ideas about playing chess, but he is still immature. Especially recently, he has completely turned into a nerve knife and often plays some inexplicable chess. People don't understand."

Lao Nie said this, while watching Li Xiangping's game of chess, he couldn't leave his eyes. For no other reason, first, the progress of this game of chess is relatively fast. This is the morning game time. More than 60 moves have been played in this game of chess, and such a speed is very fast in this day and age.

The second reason is that this game of chess seems to be played by a novice, and there is an uncommon change. As a habit of professional chess players, as long as you see new changes, you will definitely pay more attention.

It must be mentioned in particular that this unusual change today is really not what Li Xiangping came out of first. The initiator should be Li Shishi.

When the overall game was over 20 moves, it was originally a very common and heavy-handed pattern. However, in the middle of the game, Xiao Li didn't take the usual route. He deliberately changed the order of the pattern, intending to be cheaper locally.

For his behavior of taking chestnuts out of the fire, Shi Daqisheng naturally refused to agree. He decisively counterattacked in the local area, so the game of chess started from that time, and the two sides fought fiercely, forming a rare change in the local area.

"Hehe, young people are young people. They started working as soon as they came up. Well, this change is a bit interesting. Who benefits?"

Lao Nie muttered to himself while playing chess on the chessboard. This is of course a normal reaction, because for professional chess players, whenever he sees a new change, he always wants to judge the pros and cons of it.

So before the plate was closed at noon, everyone started to study this new change.

However, today's change seems a bit interesting. For this large-scale change with nearly 40 lots, everyone's judgments have not been reached.

Some people think that Li Shishi, who is in black, is good. The reason is that there may be problems with Li Xiangping's move. He is generous and happy to give up the corner to play the game, and even let people surround the four roads. lead to global difficulties.

Some other chess players think that although Li Xiangping, who is playing white, has an unspeakable advantage, this chess is still sufficiently playable. Solitary chess, so the key to this game of chess depends on the subsequent process, mainly depends on whether Li Xiangping can launch an effective attack.

While everyone was talking about it, today's game is a bit interesting. In the last half hour or so of the morning, the two sides actually played more than 20 moves, so in the 2 hours of the morning game, the game actually reached 80. Lots of hands.

After everyone has seen more than 20 moves in the past, it is not bad. At this time, everyone's judgments have finally converged.

At this time, everyone agreed that the situation of Li Xiangping, who is in white, has taken the lead!

"It seems that the change in front of Li Shishi should still not hold." Old Nie said with emotion:

"However, Li Xiangping has played really well so far in this game of chess. In the face of two lone chess pieces, everyone thinks they should attack the better one, but he has to do the opposite, attacking others with more flexibility. And his attacking technique is unexpectedly powerful. After this combination of punches, Black seems to be a bit difficult to handle, right? Hey, don't look at Black's pulling a flower here, but pulling the flower is dead. , looking at the current situation, the flower of Black should not dare to escape, right?"

That's right, that's why everyone judged the convergence. Faced with two attack directions, Lao Shi chose an unexpected attack direction, and when the game was over 80 moves, he seemed to have captured the opponent's lone chess piece.

That is a "pulling flower", a "pulling flower" with black in the middle belly.

So does this flower really eat and live? What's the story surrounding this flower? The chess game continues step by step.
