   Chapter 543 China-Korea Peak Showdown

   Three days later, at the "Samsung Academy" in a rural area in South Korea, 4 games were lined up, and 8 chess players competed for the top four seats in this year's "Samsung Cup".

   Since all Japanese players have been eliminated in the previous round, this time it is a standard Sino-Korea confrontation.

   It’s just that the number of people in the confrontation between China and South Korea is not equal this time. The Chinese team occupies 5 places in the top eight, which leads to a civil war today.

  Li Xiangping VS Wang Lei 8 dan is the only civil war today.

There's nothing to say, since it's a civil war, the attention is definitely not high, especially this time the other players are not idle, South Korea's Erli is still there, and the "New Super First-class" ranked second in the domestic rating. "Gu Dali was also built, which made this civil war even more inexistent.

   In fact, this game not only did not have much sense of existence, but it ended quite early. Just after 3 pm, Li Xiangping had just dropped the 105th move in the overall game, and Wang Lei easily conceded defeat in the eighth dan.

At the moment when the opponent conceded defeat, Li Xiangping felt a little strange in his heart. Before that, although he judged that he had the upper hand, he was not ahead by much, let alone "the situation is wrong". The opponent still has a lot of time and space to deal with.

   But today's opponents don't know what's going on. Not only did Wang Lei's Eighth Duan not show his "wild red" characteristics, he didn't even show much desire to win.

   And this "desire to win", in fact, most people know that professional chess players can feel it in the game.

   However, today, Li Xiangping does not feel the opponent's desire to win at all, and can't say that the opponent is sleepwalking. In fact, from a technical point of view, Li Xiangping believes that every move of the opponent is online, and almost all moves are blameless.

  It’s just a pity that’s all there is to it.

  It is obvious that nowadays, it is of course difficult to defeat Li Xiangping with only such a move, which may be the reason why Wang Lei voluntarily surrendered in the eighth stage.

   "Teacher Wang, accept, accept."

Wang Lei's eighth dan is a "little dragon", and he is about 10 years older than Li Xiangping. So according to the habits of the Go world, no, it may be according to the habits of most industries in China, his "Mr. Wang" is still Affordable, in fact, it was precisely because he did not feel his opponent's desire to win that Li Xiangping used the word "acceptance".

   After admitting defeat, Wang Lei also seemed very calm, so calm that he came to Korea to compete this time, as if it was a routine task to complete.

   He calmly started the replay with Li Xiangping, briefly talked about his thoughts on a few steps of chess, then stopped the replay, packed up the pieces and returned to the next room to watch the game.

  Since the loser is like this, of course the winning side cannot forcibly delay the replay, so after helping to clean up the pieces, Li Xiangping accompanied Wang Lei to the 8th dan next door to the viewing room.

At this time, in the viewing room, there were Shao Weigang, the head of the Chinese delegation, Jiudan, and Zhang Da reporter Lao Xie, and others. After the two returned, everyone's reaction was also very dull, as if Li Xiangping's victory was a matter of course. , Everyone neither congratulated Li Xiangping nor comforted Wang Lei's eighth paragraph.

   Even after the two of them showed up here, Shao Weigang Jiudan immediately waved to Li Xiangping:

   "Haha, Xiangping, come on, Korea Erli actually used the same trick today, do you think this is their new kung fu?"

   After hearing Shao Jiuduan's words, Li Xiangping's attention was instantly attracted, and he began to watch the other three games that were still in progress.

  The other three sets are Da Li VS Wang Xi, Xiao Li VS Zhou Heyang, Gu Dali VS Park Yongxun, with Shao Weigang's words, of course, the first thing to look at is the Korean second Li game.

   Before Li Xiangping could see it clearly, he only looked at the basic chess shape, he laughed at that time.

   In today's game, South Korea's Er Li unexpectedly chose the ancient "Great Avalanche" formula.

Of course, although this formula is old, the variation chosen by the two is not old. Strictly speaking, this is still a "dog trick". What is the apology?

   After seeing the basic chess shape clearly, Li Xiangping couldn't help but look at Wang Lei, his opponent today, at the eighth dan 鈥斺��

  Because he remembered very clearly, the first "victim" of this variation was him, and it was also because of this variation that he later heard from his old man that he had alarmed Old Nie at that time.

  Li Xiangping didn't have time to think so much, because it was already 3:00 pm, and the pieces on the chessboard were already densely packed, so if you want to see how Er Li of Korea uses this variation, of course, you must start from the beginning.

   It took about ten minutes, and after going through the process of the two chess games again, Li Xiangping fell into contemplation.

   There is no doubt that this variant is actually a relatively high-level dog move. In real history, it did not appear in actual combat, but the dog dismantled it himself.

One of the characteristics of this kind of dog move is that it is basically not the legendary "big move", it is usually composed of a series of small means, and this kind of dog move is very test of the cooperation of the school, focusing on the overall situation. configuration.

Therefore, you can think that this relatively high-level dog move generally contains relatively deep chess theory, which is the kind of obscure and mysterious chess theory that does not reach a certain level. I can fully understand the

   For example, when Li Xiangping used it for the first time, he actually didn’t understand it at all.

   It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, he couldn't even talk about "slight knowledge", he was just drawing a gourd in the same way.

   Of course, the current Li Xiangping has long been different from what it used to be. 4 years have passed. He dare not say that he has fully understood this change, but he can be regarded as having a deep experience.

   It was with these insights that when he looked at Korean Erli’s use of this variation, he quickly saw the difference:

So far, the progress of these two chess games is similar, and they are both less than 150 moves. It can be considered that they are both in the middle stage of a game of chess, and according to Li Xiangping's own judgment, he thinks that the two Korean chess players have obtained a certain amount of chess. The advantages.

   Especially in Li Shishi's game, his advantage is already very large now, much larger than that of Da Li's game, and it is already close to the point of "victory".

Of course, because Xiao Li has a greater advantage, he should not think that he used this variation better. On the contrary, at least in Li Xiangping's eyes, he thinks that the application of this variation may be understood by Da Li. better.

   Da Li is on the right path, and Xiao Li seems to be on the wrong path again.

  Why is the evil way able to gain greater advantages? This is of course also very understandable.”

  Like many "irrational moves" or "excessive moves" in Go, once these kinds of moves are successful, the advantage obtained is usually greater than that of "forehands".

   It is also for this reason that after comparing the use of the two, Li Xiangping focused on studying Xiao Li’s game of chess �����

  Because Li Xiangping put himself in, he assumed that he was sitting in front of Korean Er Li, then to Da Li's plate:

Since Da Li's moves were expected by Li Xiangping, he had a way to avoid Wang Xi's eight-dan actual moves (after all, they are "forehands", which are similar to Li Xiangping's own thinking, so " "Crack" can't be cracked, and Li Xiangping can't always think about cracking his own ideas)

   is also for this reason, so in actual combat, if Li Xiangping saw Da Li play like this, he would have thought about how to prevent his opponent from making an ideal picture very early on.

   In a very short period of time, Li Xiangping found four or five ways to avoid it, so he didn't think too much about it.

   But Xiao Li's evil use is different.

   First of all, one thing is clear: if Li Xiangping replaces Zhou Heyang and sits in front of Xiao Li, he knows that he cannot avoid it.

   One of the moves was completely beyond his expectations. There was no such move in his research experience, so of course he could not avoid it.

   Of course, whether it can be avoided or not is not the point. The point is that after Li Xiangping thought about it for a while, he did not find a way to crack Xiao Li's hand.

   This feeling undoubtedly made Li Xiangping very uncomfortable, and it was also the reason why he continued to think.

You must know that when he first saw the move, he first felt that this move was not a good move. It should be another "evil way", but Li Xiangping thought about it for a long time, and he substituted himself into Zhou Heyang's nine-dan. Position, and now barely found a change in the balance of power between the two sides, but did not find a change in his own favor.

   This must have made Li Xiangping a little uncomfortable �����

Isn't    cheating or irrational moves in Go usually a patent for 'getting hands'? It is obvious that Xiao Li is unreasonable, but he finds that he can't solve it. Isn't this equivalent to admitting that he is the master in disguise?

There is nothing to say. Although Li Xiangping is a dude, he is also a proud dude, so he will not admit that Xiao Li is his "hands on", even if no one else knows about this, disguised admission is not enough, so He fell into deep thought unconsciously.

   "Brother Ding'an"

   When he had just found a clue, his train of thought was interrupted, and Gu Dali had already returned to the viewing room.

   He defeated Park Yongxun in the ninth dan in the middle set, and entered the semi-finals together with Li Xiangping.

  Everyone congratulated him, even Li Xiangping was no exception, he also joined the congratulations.

   Indeed, don’t look at Gu Dali, who is now a “new super first-class”, ranked 2nd in China, and has several domestic titles nearby, but his World Series results so far are simply unstoppable.

   Not to mention the world champion, he has not even made it to the finals, and the semi-finals of the World Series are already his best result.

   And he was an "old round" for several years before, so his World Series semi-finals are still few and far between.

   It is for this reason that everyone congratulates.

   Fortunately, Gu Dali is the kind of person who is very sunny, and people with a cheerful personality are usually thick-skinned, so brother Dali accepted everyone's congratulations and joined the research team.

   And the subsequent research shocked Li Xiangping again.

   Less than 5 minutes! Li Xiangping swears that after Gu Dali watched Li Shishi's game of chess, he really only spent about 5 minutes:

   "Boss of Excellent Art, it's definitely not possible to play like this in actual combat. I feel like it can be played like this."

  Li Xiangping was silent, because the way Gu Dali spent 5 minutes to find out was the same as the change he spent more than 20 minutes to figure out.

   "Hey, it's said that the two of them fight each other. Judging from today's situation, Dali needs to know more about Xiao Li, so that he can find this change so quickly."

   Just when Li Xiangping was thinking like this, he was interrupted by the voice of reporter Zhang Da, who was chatting with Wang Lei Ba Duan:

   "Stone, I heard that you are going to apply for the women's team coach, right?"

"I have this plan," Wang Lei said with a smile to reporter Zhang Da, "Look at today's "big avalanche", I don't know if you know it or not. In fact, I am the first victim of this variation. Before Xiang Ping entered the stage, he used this change to slaughter me, so you see, now that Xiang Ping is here, and Dali and them, how can I compete with them with my qualifications, I must make plans early."

   "You won't play chess after that?"

   "Of course I can still play chess, but the focus is definitely not on the World Championships. We should look at the Weijia. When the Weijia win rate drops below 50%, then we must consider transformation."

   "Hehe, it's not bad to be a coach."

Wang Lei Ba Duan smiled and said: "I also think it's good. For example, I am also helping Nie to sort out the "mysterious preface". I don't think I can be Li Xiangping's competitor, so I will be his communicator. To be the disseminator of Li Xiangping's Go thinking, isn't that the Boss of Excellent Art?"

   Hearing Wang Lei's 8th paragraph, Li Xiangping smiled embarrassedly, and instantly understood how he won today.

  The time slowly came to 4:30 in the afternoon. The results of the third set came out. Xiao Li, who had one move, did not give Zhou Heyang a 9-dan chance. With 172 moves, Li Shishi won the middle set.

   Now there is only the game of Wang Xi 8 Dan VS Li Canghao. Although the chess game doesn't seem to be much different on the surface, everyone can see it clearly.

   Even the level of reporter Zhang Da could see clearly: After taking the lead in the situation, Da Li's "control flow" began to play, and the situation was always under his control.

   Just after 5 pm, Lao Xie of "Sports" laughed and said:

   "Haha, China and South Korea are at their peak, and the top two in China will face the top two in South Korea. I don't know who will be against whom in the draw."

   After a few minutes, Wang Xi 8 dan finally conceded defeat, and the "China-Korea peak showdown" in Lao Xie's mouth finally appeared.

   At 7 o'clock in the evening, Li Xiangping and Gu Dali joined hands to attend the lottery.

   To be honest, Li Xiangping wanted to touch Xiao Li even more before he came in this time, because his "evil way" actually had a greater psychological impact on him.

   Then things backfired, and in the end, he and Da Li's hands were held together.

   After lamenting that Gu Dali and Li Shishi, the "life-long rivals", finally achieved their first fight in three rounds of chess, Li Xiangping reacted:

Yo! This is also after he lost Fanqi to Da Li last year, he played Fanqi with him again.

   Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a variety of tickets,

thank you all!
