Go Legend Chapter 724

Chapter 724 The game starts with a robbery

July 2, Osaka, Japan.

This is the sixth consecutive time that Li Xiangping has participated in the "Fujitsu Cup" semi-finals. Except once in Nagoya, the other 5 times are in Osaka.

"...Li Xiangping, the absolute king of chess in the world today, has shown an airtight dominance in his own field. His power is astonishing. How strong is Li Xiangping? His dominance is airtight. To what extent? In fact, the "Fujitsu Cup" gives a good interpretation. Everyone knows that the "Fujitsu Cup" is the oldest professional Go world competition, but in this oldest professional tournament, since there are Since Li Xiangping participated, no one else has done anything. Since 2002, he has never let this champion fall by the wayside. He has achieved five consecutive championships last year, and reached the semi-finals again this year-don't forget, The "Fujitsu Cup" is a single-elimination system, so so far, Li Xiangping has maintained a complete victory in this competition, and has not lost a set for five consecutive years. His winning rate is an amazing 100%. It can be seen from this , how terrifying is Li Xiangping's dominance..."

"...There is no doubt that for other professional chess players in the chess world today, Li Xiangping is like a mountain. He stands in front of everyone and blocks everyone's way. It's just that competitive sports are like this, no matter how high the mountain is. Some people will climb, and no matter how strong the masters will be, there will be people to challenge, and Li Xiangping's opponent Li Shishi this time is undoubtedly a special one among all climbers. Objectively speaking, among Li Xiangping's many challengers, No one will think that Xiao Li is the strongest - after all, the record of the two games is there. The two have played against each other 23 times so far. Li Shishi has only won two games of chess, so he is a threat to Li Xiangping. , not only can't compare to Li Changhao, another master in South Korea, it seems that he can't compare to Xiao Li's "lifelong rival" Gu Dali, but I still have to say that among the many investors in Li Xiangping, Li Shishi is still the most special one... "

Little Li is special, in fact, in his fighting spirit, his unyielding! "

"Those who are familiar with professional chess may have seen that since Li Xiangping launched his mysterious preface to explain his unique understanding of Go, after a few years, this brand-new concept of Go has been adopted by most professional players. Acceptance has even become the most mainstream in today's chess world. Li Xiangping's play method and Li Xiangping's suggestion have attracted many professional chess players to follow suit and follow suit... But today, when the chess style is gradually converging, the stubborn Xiao Li Go still insists on his own ideas, walking alone on his own path of exploration. No matter how many times he is knocked down by Li Xiangping, Li Shishi still maintains a strong fighting spirit. If he can't do it this way today, he will do it tomorrow. I will switch to another way, then grit my teeth, sit in front of Li Xiangping again, and launch a new round of challenges..."

On the night of arriving in Osaka, the three participating Chinese chess players gathered together to browse the latest Go report. After seeing the above words, Li Xiangping smiled and said:

"Yo, who wrote this article? How can I look at portraying Xiao Li so miserably."

Gu Dali smiled and said: "Hehe, it looks a bit miserable, this is describing Xiao Li as a tragic hero, I really didn't pay attention to it before, it turns out that you suppressed Xiao Li so ruthlessly, alas, the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, I suddenly have a problem now. The feeling of a rabbit dying and a fox being sad."

Zhou Heyang's Jiuduan also smiled and said, "After reading this article, I am reminded of two masters in the chess world. The relationship between Xiang Ping and Xiao Li is somewhat similar to the relationship between those two."

Hearing what Zhou Jiuduan said, Li Xiangping and Gu Dali turned to him at the same time: "Who is it?"

"Xu Xian and Tao Hanmin Tao Teda, you two said, if you look at the results of the battle, are Xiang Ping and Xiao Li a bit like these two?"

Li Xiangping laughed as soon as he heard it. The "Xu Xian" in the chess world is still at the peak. Considering the king of the chess world today, as for the other Tao Teda, he is actually the peak now. He is the only amateur in China. The chess player status has been promoted to a super-large chess player, and a few years ago, he won the runner-up in the National Chess Individual Championship for 3 consecutive years. It can be said that his strength is quite good.

But there is a very interesting thing. In today's chess world, Tao Teda is no longer afraid of any chess player. Even the famous "Commander Hu", Tao Teda has won many games against him.

Only when he met "Xu Xian", Tao Teda didn't seem to know how to play chess.

According to their playing records, they have played against each other more than 70 times in the official game. In addition to the more than 30 draws, Tao Teda has only won two games of "Xu Xian".

To be honest, this score is indeed a bit exaggerated. You must know that because of the draw in chess, it is a bit unbelievable that there is such a disparity in the score between the two giants.

As incredible as Li Xiangping's score against Li Shishi.

At the end of the chat, Yu Bin, who led the team to the competition this time, asked Li Xiangping with a smile: "Xiangping, do you have any plans for tomorrow's chess game?"

"I didn't think about it, and I don't even need to think about competing with Xiao Li."

Li Xiangping replied with a smile: "Isn't this article said, anyway, every time I play with Xiao Li, he basically takes the initiative to make moves, I can only follow behind and passively defend, um, in short, in one sentence, To compete with Xiao Li, be prepared to act accordingly.”

"Well, then you let him continue to be a tragic hero."

"Hahaha."

The entire Chinese delegation burst into laughter.

On the second day, the game officially started. At 9:55 in the morning, under the presidency of the head referee Yoshio Ishida, the nine-dan, the two sides guessed the first, and after the first guess, Li Shishi held the black first in this game.

After all, it is an old opponent who has played more than 20 times, so Li Xiangping still knows how to play with Xiao Li. At 10:40 in the morning, 40 minutes into the game, the game has just reached 31 hands, and Li Xiangping's hand stopped. .

"...Tsk tsk, it's another move I haven't seen before. They all say that I, Li Xiangping, have a lot of new rookies. I think this Xiao Li has more rookies, but my chess is all based on dog moves. It should basically be in line with chess principles, but this Xiao Li's move..."

Facing Xiao Li's one-step rookie, Li Xiangping started the first long test with this game, and during the long test, Li Xiangping found that this move was still a bit difficult, and the logic of the game was not considered for the time being, just calculating the path. It's a bit complicated, because the local chess shape is prone to robbery, which makes Li Xiangping think for a while.

At about early 11:00, Li Xiangping finished the long test and began to make moves. The first move of this chess shape is very important, and it is also the most important intersection. Therefore, after Li Xiangping made the 32nd move in the overall situation, the speed of both sides' moves suddenly increased. Speed up, because in the next dozen or so rounds, it is close to the "one way", and there is not much change in the process.

At around 11:10 am, there were more than 50 moves globally, and another change that Li Xiangping had never played appeared on the chessboard.

Since there is a new type of game, it is undoubtedly a lot of attention, and everyone in the watching room set up at the scene immediately noticed this change.

Since no Japanese players participated in this match, and it was still in Osaka, and it was only in the morning, there was actually no one in the viewing room at this time, except for Yu Bin and Zhang Da reporter Lao Xie and other Chinese accompanying reporters. Not even the members of the South Korean delegation showed up.

"Yeah! Did Li Xiangping miscalculate this change?"

Faced with a new change, Lao Xie was the first to be surprised: "This...isn't this a robbery, a robbery is equivalent to a clean kill, and Xiangping was killed at the beginning..."

In the face of Lao Xie's remarks, the reporter Zhang Da, who usually likes to argue with him, rarely did not refute this time.

Because Lao Xie was right, although the local changes have not been finalized at this time, the next few moves are clear at a glance. It seems that Xiao Li, who is holding black, has already killed 8 white pieces with a "shaking robbery".

You must know that there are only more than 50 moves in the overall situation, and each side has only played more than 20 moves, but out of the more than 20 moves played by Li Xiangping, 8 are dead now, so this is not like a miscalculation?

Reporter Zhang Da calculated it again and confirmed that there were no other variables in the next changes. Xiao Li did kill Li Xiangping with a robbery, so he raised his head and asked Yu Bin:

"Look at Yutou..."

Because it was a new change, especially a new change created by Li Xiangping and Li Shishi, Yu Jiuduan also seemed more cautious. He thought about the chessboard for a while before answering:

"Well, if you want to say why Xiangping has made a serious miscalculation, I will not believe it at first. In fact, the change of this robbery is not complicated, the key lies in the choice of the first step, and we have already seen it just now. , Xiang Ping thought about this change for a while, it should take more than 20 minutes, take a long test for more than 20 minutes and then kill a piece of himself, is this a chess that Xiang Ping can play."

Yu Bin paused for a while and continued: "Although from my personal point of view, if I kill a piece at the beginning, there should be no bad reason for Xiao Li's black move, but since it was played by Xiang Ping, let's try to stand up. From White's point of view, help him think about the benefits of this play, Reporter Zhang, what benefits do you think White will gain after this change is completed?"

"I know I know,"

Yu Bin originally asked reporter Zhang Da, but this time Lao Xie rushed to answer:

"Although catching chess with a roaring robbery is equivalent to a net kill, this method of catching has a disadvantage. Since it is a roaring robbery, it is equivalent to an endless robbery. That is to say, from now on, black chess will definitely be Don't dare to rob White, everyone said that Xiang Ping chose this change because of this reason."

After listening to Lao Xie's words, Yu Bin nodded approvingly: "That's right, Lao Xie, if you can say something like this, it seems that you have grown a lot, I think you are going to go to career 4 soon, although there is still a lot to do. Whether or not there will be a robbery fight is still unknown, but I have to admit that this kind of robbery killing method does have this hidden danger, so in this part, White's loss is actually not as big as imagined.”

At this time, reporter Zhang Da continued: "Well, I looked again now, the loss of White is really not that big, because after this situation is completed, Xiang Ping's White will grab the first move, and this place is the perfect spot. ah!"

When talking about this, reporter Zhang Da photographed a white stone on the chessboard:

"Xiang Ping seems to have grabbed this point. Although he lost some points in some parts, but from a global perspective, from a global perspective... I feel that White is also sufficiently playable."

It must be admitted that in fact, when reporter Zhang Da said the last sentence, he himself had no confidence. He was completely because Li Xiangping was like this today, and he said it now, but what is the real situation? Only reporter Zhang Da, who is at the level of industry 6, can't make a judgment at all.

Then what is the real situation?

What did Li Xiangping think?

Today's "Fujitsu Cup" semi-final started from this robbery.

Ask for a monthly pass. In the new year, the ranking of the monthly pass will go directly to the 1,000th place. Seventh Uncle is too weak to ask for a monthly pass.
