Go Legend

  Chapter 720

   The time came to early 2 pm. At this time, the match between Li Xiangping and Yuan Shengqing gradually attracted the attention of everyone in the watching room—

In fact, today, this game was originally inconspicuous. After all, there were Chinese players participating in the 4 games today, and then compared to South Korea's big and small Li and Zhang Xu, Yuan Shengqin was recognized as the weakest - just Even Zhang Xu won a game against Li Xiangping last year and was officially promoted to a super-class chess player under the new standard.

   So from the perspective of the spectators, before the game, everyone generally believed that this game should be the least suspenseful, and it should not be a problem for Li Xiangping to win the opponent.

   However, after 2:00 pm, this game is not enough to attract attention.

   First of all, this game has the fastest progress. The game has only started for 3 hours, and this game has already passed 100 hands, which is still relatively rare in this competition system.

   The second and more important reason is, of course, the content of the chess game, the dragon slaying game! South Korea's "Yuan Fist" actually wanted to slaughter Li Xiangping's dragon, and he unabashedly wanted to slaughter Li Xiangping's dragon. Of course, this is not possible without attracting attention.

Today is the quarter-final battle. Although CCTV will also broadcast today's game live, it did not choose Li Xiangping's game of chess. It is confirmed that Kong Erjie VS Li Shishi and Gu Dali VS Zhang Xu will be broadcast live. However, at this moment, including the leader of the old Nie Hua and others, have been unable to care about the two games, and everyone gathered to discuss Li Xiangping's game of chess.

   "Haha, white is just going to force it like this? It can work like this..."

It must be pointed out: in fact, in the eyes of the older generation of chess players such as the leader of the old Nie Hua, they are very disapproving of the actual play of white chess. In their eyes, this kind of play is really too low-level, like a hooligan Fighting in general does not reflect the "realm" of Go at all.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Nie continued: "This Korean Yuan Shi, is he just a gambler, and he is ready to bet on Dalong as soon as he comes up? How can you play Go like this, if Xiangping's chess is so good Eat, how could he become the number one player in the chess world today?"

   "I think this is a good attitude," Team Leader Hua continued cheerfully.

In fact, in his mind, he didn't think that Li Xiangping would lose today, not to mention that slaughtering a dragon in Go is more difficult than fighting an orphan. Just because of Yuan Shengqin's play today, he won't be at all. Without concealing his desire to slay the dragon, his intentions were revealed in more than 50 hands, which was even more unheard of.

   "Since you mentioned gamblers, don't forget that gamblers can sometimes succeed. For example, Mr. Hideyuki from Japan, didn't he succeed in several famous games with this kind of gambling?"

  Old Nie laughed loudly: "Ha, you said Mr. Xiu Xing, but how can this Yuan be compared to Xiu Xing..."--

  Senior chess fans are of course aware that among the famous records left by Hideyuki Fujisawa in Japan, there are indeed several games related to the keyword "gambling".

   The most famous is the fifth game of the second "chess holy war". Fujisawa Hideyuki played against Kato Masao. At that time, Fujisawa's old magic stick was already 1-3 behind, and if he lost another game, he would hand over the title of "chess holy".

However, in this case, the old magic stick broke out with amazing fighting power. He also plotted to slay the dragon in less than 70 hands. In the end, he succeeded. After winning the game, he even Won two sets and defended the title of "chess saint" with a total score of 4 to 3.

In addition to this game, the old magic stick also has a famous game of "slaying the dragon with a 30-eye deficit". , Although the old magic stick is always a little worse than Sakata, but let's not say, these two really stayed in many famous players and masters during the hegemony in those years.

   Sakata Eio's "Flying Immortal" skill came out when he played against the old god.

   In the famous game of "slaying the dragon with a 30-eye deficit", the old magic stick also left a famous player.

Well, the reason why it's just a "famous hand" instead of a "wonderful hand" is because the old magic stick's hand really has no magic at all. It's just a step of "squeeze", or "pinch". That's it.

   It's just that although the chess move has no wonderful flavor, it is eye-catching and gives people strong sensory stimulation. Therefore, after the old magic stick succeeds in slaying the dragon, that method is also qualified to be called a "famous player".

It is completely conceivable that Lao Nie and Lao Shenqiu are the same kind of people, and even have the same nickname. They used to be known as "the top 50 hands are invincible in the world", so it is completely conceivable, what kind of Yuanquan does Lao Nie like? , he would even feel that comparing Yuan Quantou with the old **** stick is an insult to his old Nie.

  The two old chess players were chatting and laughing, but Chen Xiaoqiang, who was beside them, frowned and looked thoughtful.

   Well, I have to say that Chen Xiaoqiang is the real number one fan. There were so many close games today, but he didn't care about the other games. From the morning, he only stared at Li Xiangping's game.

   But his expression was noticed by Team Leader Hua:

   "Hey, Xiaoqiang, what's wrong?"

   "Well, I feel like the boss is a bit difficult to handle."

   "Ah! What did you say..."

The two old comrades didn't have time to chat and laugh, and they quickly pulled Chen Xiaoqiang to ask what happened. After all, this kind of dragon slaughter bureau is mainly based on calculation, which is not the strength of the old comrades, and the optimism of the two before is completely Based on experience and preconceived notions, I think that White should be very difficult to succeed in such a move. This is where there is talk and laughter, but now...

   "Yes, White made a good move just now. I did some calculations just now, and this move seems to be quite difficult to deal with."

  Chen Xiaoqiang stopped talking nonsense. He started to play chess on the chessboard, showing the changes he just calculated to the two old comrades.

   When Chen Xiaoqiang finished his placement, the two old comrades were already dumbfounded, because according to the changes in Chen Xiaoqiang's placement, Yuan Shengqing seemed to have really made a good move.

   It was a seemingly inconspicuous move, but it was a good move with extremely far-reaching calculations. When that move was played, it blocked the possibility of creating “eyes of robbery” in two places—

Of course, chess players with a bit of strength know that the reason why it is said that it is more difficult to kill a dragon than to rule an orphan in Go is because of robbery and the existence of robbery eyes. , the robbery is almost certainly beneficial, and a robbery eye is basically equivalent to a real eye.

   And Yuan Shengqing's move just now is equivalent to one move to seal up the possibility of Black's eyes in two places, so in today's battle, it is certainly a formidable one.

What makes the two old comrades even more unbearable is that if they follow the change of Chen Xiaoqiang's stance, after six rounds, that is, after 12 moves, White has exactly one step to "pinch" - exactly the same as Fujisawa's old magic stick. It seems that Yuan Shengqin can use such a method to kill Li Xiangping's dragon.

   "Oh, this Xiang Ping, he is a little too big today! If this is... if this is the case, he will be killed by others..."

"Yeah, yeah, it's a little overbearing. In fact, we've calculated it before. This situation can be completely avoided. In the previous move, yes, when White made this "standing" move, Black can completely endure it. Now, even if the place is a little cheaper, as long as the live chess is guaranteed, this chess will be a happy victory.”

  The tone of the two old comrades has completely changed. In the face of the reference picture placed by Chen Xiaoqiang, the two began to criticize Li Xiangping.

   Of course, the denunciation at this time has no effect, and the top priority is to help Li Xiangping find a way. However, unfortunately, everyone did not help Li Xiangping to find a way to treat the orphan.

  At least in today's live viewing room, everyone didn't help Black Chess find a way to work.

"This…"

   Lao Nie and Team Leader Hua looked at each other, and they were a little dumbfounded at the time.

It's finally okay, other people can't do it, it doesn't mean Li Xiangping can't do it, and to be honest, when the opponent "stands" at that step, he has already figured out what to do, otherwise everyone thinks his head is still alive. It's really so tough, he will be angry with the opponent even knowing that the opponent has prepared a killer move?

  At about 3:30 pm Beijing time, at this time, there were 142 moves in the overall situation. Two rounds after the opponent Yuan Shengqing just fulfilled the "pinch" move, Li Xiangping's wonderful hand appeared.

Li Xiangping's chess move can also be called a "squeeze" move, or a move of a "group" and a move of a "monkey" -- in short, everyone knows from this description that this move is rather ugly. Chess is a "vulgar player" in the traditional sense.

  However, just how a common move can ensure that the black chess dragon can work safely.

   And once this big dragon works and Yuan Shengqin's classmate fails to kill the dragon, then the game will be decided. After that, Yuan Shengqin has no chance.

   So Li Xiangping's move was actually the winning move in this game, and it was the decisive move.

   Li Xiangping's chess move quickly spread to the viewing room next door, and appeared in front of Old Nie and Team Leader Hua in the research room:

   "Huh? Down here..."

Old Nie was stunned for about 5 seconds, and then he quickly laughed: "Hahaha, there is no suspense, no suspense, so the standard answer is here, I'll just say, how could Xiangping be so unreliable, knowing that Others turn a blind eye if they have a killer move."

   Chen Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and Team Leader Hua also rolled his eyes, both of them despising Old Nie in their hearts.

   Of course, everyone's contempt is contempt, but it's not surprising that Old Nie can react so quickly.

This is because a lot of good players in Go are like this: when you don’t find it yourself, it’s always hard to find out, but once you see someone else play it, even someone like Lao Nie’s computing power has regressed to a level close to an amateur. The master level, he still only took 5 seconds to see the wonderful taste

   "Tsk tsk tsk, let's talk about it, how did Li Xiangping find out about chess like this?"

  Because the outcome has been decided, everyone began to care about other things, and began to care about how Li Xiangping discovered this move.
