  Chapter 550 Alternative Jiufan with Da Li

In all professional Go world competitions, the operation of the "Chunlan Cup" has always been a bit psychedelic. First, it changed from one year to two years, and then after changing to two years, the competition time of this competition has always been like a fan.

  You never know when it will open. After the quarterfinals and 16, the organizers often do not inform you of the time of the next round.

   To be honest, the operation of Chunlan Company can easily give people a feeling of irregularity and chaos. In the real history, rumors of this game being suspended from time to time should have a lot to do with this irregularity and chaos.

   In his previous life, Li Xiangping was a chess fan. He also had a lot of opinions on this game. He thought that if you run the game, you should do it well. The news of the suspension came at the end of the three days, which made people feel uneasy watching the game.

However, after the journey, Li Xiangping's mentality is much better. After all, it is also the first professional Go World Tournament established in the mainland of our country. It is like a child in his own family. Even if there are some problems, he should support it support.

   What's more, although this competition was suspended for three days and two times, but when Li Xiangping crossed over, people were still alive and well. Even though the company was once rumored to be in trouble, this competition has been held there.

   For this insistence, Li Xiangping felt that he should also support this game more.

As a chess player, of course, he has no other way to support him. He performs well in the game and strives to play a famous game in the game. The most important thing is that there is a lot of trouble in this area.

   After returning from Japan, Li Xiangping immediately threw himself into the battle of the "Chunlan Cup".

It is still in the quarterfinals stage. As before, Li Xiangping learned the time and place of this competition very late, but this time, Chunlan Company has arranged the following competition schedule: on November 13th, "Chunlan Cup" quarter-finals, the venue of the competition is China Chess Academy, from December 10th to 14th, the semi-finals will be played three times, and the venue of the competition is also in Beijing.

   However, the final round of chess will be in April next year. The final location is the same as in the real history.

   On the day of the game, Li Xiangping arrived at the Chinese Chess Academy on time, ready to play today's game of chess.

In the round of 16 a few months ago, the Chinese players played quite well. As a result, except for Da Li of South Korea and Zhang Xu of Japan, all the other six players were Chinese players, which made Li Xiangping play again. Ushered in a civil war, his opponent today is Peng Quan Wudan.

   To say that Peng Quan Wudan is actually a very interesting professional chess player. He is nicknamed "Big Face Cat".

  Although in real history, Peng Wudan is not the top professional chess player, but his chess is very distinctive, and the characteristics are so distinctive that it is rare in the entire professional chess world.

  Peng Wudan is a typical "pulling eye style", and Li Xiangping thinks he is the same genre as Yu Bin's Jiuduan.

   And one of the most distinctive features of this genre is that they like "quantification" very much. They are used to trying to convert every move on the chessboard to use "mesh" to measure.

   How serious are the chess players of this genre who are obsessed with "quantization"? There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Yu Bin has a pamphlet in his hand, which records some of his experience in Go quantification.

To give a simple example, all chess fans must have heard the chess adage "the center blooms with 30 eyes", and everyone knows that the "30 eyes" mentioned here is actually a rhetoric, a description, which means that the center of the chessboard is "opened one by one". flower", then the value of this kind of chess is particularly huge.

  However, the chess players of Yu Bin's school are different. They don't think it's just an imaginary number. They always think about quantifying this "30 mesh".

   And Yu Bin's Jiuduan booklet is said to have this content. For example, the "flowering" of this chess shape, Yu Jiuduan thinks it is worth about 28 meshes, and that "flowering" may only have 25 meshes.

And the same chess type, "blooming" sooner or later also makes its value different. When it "blooms" in the preface, Jiudan thinks that it may be worth 35 heads. If it "blooms" after 100 moves, the same chess type may be worth 35 games. worth less than 20

  Li Xiangping had not read the booklet Yu Jiuduan recorded his experience.

   He also does not agree with this extreme quantitative training method. .

   Because in his opinion, this method is obviously biased. After all, Go pays attention to a nature. When you play chess, you can dig your eyes. When you need to fight, you can fight. We try to quantify some fighting tactics with mesh counts.”

Let’s not talk about whether you can do it or not, the question of whether your method is not scientific, the more obsessions you have, the easier it will be for you to become obsessed and reflected in the game, then you will easily form a mindset , it is easy to habitually avoid fighting.

   Avoid fighting when you should!

   And this problem is a common problem for almost all chess players in this genre.

   Obviously, Li Xiangping's opponent Peng Wuduan today is one of the representatives of this genre. Although his reputation is not as good as Yu Bin's Jiuduan, his characteristics are more distinct than Yu Jiuduan.

   Since he knows the characteristics of his opponent, there is nothing to say. For today's game, Li Xiangping knows how to play.

He knows very well in his heart that it is definitely not advisable to "lay the floor" with them when dealing with chess players of this genre. It doesn't mean that they must be afraid of them, but this kind of pattern is what they are good at. Challenging others in the areas you are best at is definitely not a smart strategy.

  The best way, of course, is to find ways to lead the battle, and when you want to lead to the battle, be careful: the idea of ​​the battle plan is not actually to fight the opponent.

  The really clever strategy is actually to take advantage of the opponent's habitual weakness of avoiding battle. You must take into account when you are planning your battle plan, especially some opponents' tactics to avoid battle.

  If you judge that once your opponent avoids the battle, you may have to take advantage of it yourself, and your opponent will probably suffer a small loss.

  Then you should think specifically in this direction, and choose this kind of chess on the chessboard to play.

  If your plan is successful, you should easily gain the upper hand when facing players of this genre.

   This is the general idea of ​​Li Xiangping's game of chess today.

   He not only thinks so, but implements it.

   The situation is not bad. In today's game, his idea seems to be implemented fairly well. After 100 moves, although Peng Wudan has worked hard, he successfully directed the situation to "laying the floor".

   However, it is a pity that he was too late at this time, because his "flooring" was obtained by avoiding battle.

   After avoiding the battle several times in a row, the big-faced cat suffered several small losses in a row. When Li Xiangping started to "lay the floor" with him, the opponent's situation was basically irreversible.

   At 4:30 p.m., Peng Quan held on to 200 and a few hands in the fifth stage. Seeing that he was obviously insufficient in the field, he was only 2 to 3 ahead of the board at most.

After all, it was his compatriot who won, so after the game, Li Xiangping did not show any special joy. He politely accepted his opponent's congratulations, politely played with his opponent for a while, and even made no secret of his own ideas. Make it clear that the opponent's move to avoid the fight several steps in a row can be problematic.

   After finishing all this, Li Xiangping began to pay attention to the other 3 games.

   It's a pity that the results of the other 3 games were a little disappointing. Except for Gu Dali who defeated Zhou Heyang's 9 dan in the civil war, all other Chinese players lost chess.

   The 6-2 in the quarter-finals turned into a 2-2 in the semifinals.

   What was even more interesting was the draw that night. When Li Xiangping held hands with Da Li, there was an uproar in the audience.

In    years, Li Xiangping thought it was a little funny.

  Because after today's game, all the World Series this season have reached the semi-final stage.

   Take an inventory of the games that Li Xiangping needs to participate in next:

In addition to the "Fujitsu Cup" that has already ended, and the "Ying's Cup", he has already entered the final and will compete for the championship with Cui Du. Li Xiangping needs to participate in the "Samsung Cup", "Toyota Cup", "LG Cup" next ", "Chunlan Cup" four semi-finals.

   These four semi-finals are all three games.

   Among these four games, except for the "Toyota Cup" Dali who has been eliminated, he is still alive in the other three, and his semi-final opponent is Li Xiangping without exception.

   Not only that, the "Samsung Cup" semi-finals will be held later this month, then the "LG Cup" semi-finals are in early December, and the "Chunlan Cup" semi-finals are in mid-December.

   In less than a month, Li Xiangping and Li Canghao met 3 times in a row, and the two wanted to play an alternative "Jiufanqi".

   This is why even Li Xiangping finds it funny.

"Huh? Da Li and I are living and going back? We used to meet in the finals, and we played 4 finals with him in our debut 4 years. I lead 3-1 for the time being. How did this come to this meeting? , the level of the competition has been lowered? Why did they meet in the semi-finals?”

  Li Xiangping didn't have so much time to think about this slightly strange question, because after this game, before playing that alternative Jiufan with Da Li, Li Xiangping still has two other games to play.

   The first is the domestic "celebrity battle". Since the first two rounds and Gu Dali were 1 to 1, when the game is over, the two will immediately move to another place for the next 3 games.

   After the "Celebrity Battle" is over, Li Xiangping will go to Japan again, and he will not be able to compete with Da Li until the semi-finals of the "Toyota Cup" are over.

"Ugh"

  Li Xiangping stretched: "Come step by step."

   At the end of the month again, Uncle Seven is solemnly asking for a monthly pass again!

   In addition: It is mainly a monthly pass for next month. Don’t forget to vote for the new January.
