Go Legend

  Chapter 87 The chance to make a name for yourself is here

   "Ha! It's starting to wave, everyone watching Jueyi is starting to wave again."

   "I feel relieved when I see this rushing hand, the master of the arts will win today."

   "I drank too much upstairs at noon, why do you say that?"

   "It's a newcomer upstairs, who doesn't know about the whole Qingfeng, the master of the art is not comfortable, and the more tricks he makes, the faster he wins."

   Since this is only the quarter-final stage, and the quarter-finals of the Go game are rarely on TV these days, the way for domestic chess fans to understand this game of chess is mainly to watch online live broadcasts.

  The live webcast is not in sync with the actual battle. It is already past 12 noon. From these chats of the vast majority of people who eat melons, we know that Qingfeng.com has just broadcasted that "jianchong".

However, although the live broadcast is not synchronized, the chess speaker invited by Qingfeng.com is not simple. He is Chang Hao, the first person in the domestic ranking. You must know that the so-called "Qingfeng Eight Sons" are the six "Seven Little Dragons" except Chang Hao plus another Composed of two professional chess players, now Qingfeng.com can invite Chang Hao to play chess, which shows that they attach great importance to this game of chess.

  Strictly speaking, Chang Hao is not particularly suitable for online explanations. Of course, this is not because his chess is not good, but because his typing speed is not good. Therefore, at this time of the live broadcast, apart from the opening remarks, Chang Hao actually seldom spoke, just put up a few reference pictures.

   At this stage, "Jianchong", of course, it is impossible not to talk about it. Fortunately, the website has been prepared for a long time, and Chang Hao is equipped with an assistant. Chang Hao is there to explain, and the assistant is responsible for typing on the keyboard:

   "Hehe, black chess actually played this? Seeing this "Jianchong" hand, I can only say that Li Xiangping is right. He is our master of the art. He is very relaxed now and plays extremely unrestrained."

  Chang Hao used this sentence as his opening remarks. The crowd who eat melons didn't feel anything after hearing it, because everyone knew that the so-called "unrestrained" in his mouth actually meant the same thing as "waves".

Chang Hao continued: "However, regarding this sharp rush, let me tell you the truth, although this move is extremely unrestrained, professional chess players usually seldom play this way, at least I don't dare to play this way, why do you say that? Because in the eyes of professional chess players, the first impression of this move is that there is a suspicion of "loss""

"By now, I believe that everyone should know something about Mr. Wu Qingyuan's "Sharp Rush Worry-free Corner"? That move is currently very controversial in the professional Go world. Those who support Mr. Wu think it is a good move, while those who oppose it I think it is a bad move, why is there such a disagreement? This actually involves the judgment of the "Worry-free corner". It is difficult to agree with this step of "jian rush", but Mr. Wu believes that although the "Worry-free Corner" is a good shape, its efficiency is by no means sufficient. This is the theoretical basis for his next step of "jian rush". "

"Let's not mention Mr. Wu's "Sharp Chong Wuyou Corner" for the time being. Now let's look at Li Xiangping's "Sharp Chong" move. Now everyone should be able to understand why few chess players dare to make such a move. Right? Because this move is a whole way wider than the "sharp rush to the worry-free corner", if all the "sharp rush to the worry-free corner" is a loss, then this move is even more lossy. Therefore, I see only a chess like this. Jueyi dares to go down like this, I don’t dare to go down like this anyway”

  Chang Hao said so much, the people who eat melon finally understood, he personally does not agree with this move. Thinking about it, Chang Hao is not his master Nie Dazui, and if he wants to express his opposite opinion, of course he has to be more euphemistic.

   At this time, a chess fan asked: "So Chang Jiudan, do you think this move is a bad move?"

   "No, no, I didn't say that." Chang Hao quickly cleared up:

   "I can only say now, I personally don't understand what it means to play here, the intention of this move is unknown, haha, yes, this move is the intention of unknown"

It must be admitted that what Chang Hao said just now is indeed the truth, because let alone 2001, even 17 years later in 2018, when the Go AI played this move, the professional players said the most. In other words, it means "unknown intent".

Of course, for most of the melon-eating people watching the live broadcast, not many people care about the technical connotation of this move. Apart from thinking that this move is a bit "wave", everyone is more concerned about the progress of the game. Can the stunner win this time?

   So what is the trend of this game of chess?

   When Chang Hao explained that move "Jianchong", it was almost 1:00 pm Beijing time, so it was almost 2:00 pm Korean time. At this time, the whole game of chess had actually played more than 60 moves.

   And at this time, old Nie, who was far away in South Korea, was very excited to analyze this game of chess for his only audience:

"Haha, what did I say yesterday? I just said that we have a better chance of winning this time, great! Great! Li Xiangping's black is now in a great advantage. If I take white, I might be right now. Just admit defeat."

To say that Lao Nie came to South Korea is actually not very suitable. After all, a person like him, no matter where he goes in the country, must be a star holding the moon. Even if he goes to Japan, Lao Nie can also be full of friends. Only in Korea

   Therefore, in real history, Lao Nie really rarely went to Korea.

   But today, Old Nie, who has been neglected, still can't hide his enthusiasm. Facing the only audience, Zhou Yi, he enthusiastically analyzed the situation on the chessboard for the other party:

"Why do I say this, Xiao Zhou, let me analyze the situation with you. At present, the spheres of influence of both sides have been divided, and there is no lonely game, so it is estimated that there will be a big battle behind such a game. This is a It's a chess game that is more than empty. Now let's take a look at the comparison between the two sides. Black has 15 eyes in the upper left corner and about 12 eyes on the right."

  Old Nie really noticed that:

"So far, black's basic vacancy is 60 points, let's help Li Xiangping calculate a little bit more, just think he is 60 points, and white chess, we have already counted it just now, and it's only 55 points when it is full. This number of heads is actually a bit reluctant, let's pretend he has 55 heads, then Xiao Zhou, do you think Black is a great advantage now?"

There is one more problem in Lao Nie's judgment that he did not mention, that is, in the modern Go rules, black chess has to be posted to white chess 6 and a half, but Ren Zhou is not a rookie, and Lao Nie's judgment can be understood as soon as he hears it. :

"Yes, yes, in the judgment just now, we did not count the power of the middle belly, and this game, one, two, three, in the generation of the middle belly, black chess has 3 more pieces than white chess, so a Come on, Black's control over the mid-bellies is definitely stronger, so now it is indeed Black's great advantage."

   "Haha, that's what it means." Old Nie laughed, and he even gave Zhou Zhou a "you're very nice" look:

"We have judged just now that black's basic emptiness can already compete with white's overall situation. These three moves are completely white. Although it is still early, we don't know how many moves these moves can make, but 5 to 10 moves is definitely no problem, even if it can't be done, but it's impossible to make 1 move, so now Black has a clear advantage."

Seeing Old Nie in high spirits, Zhou Yi continued to ask: "Mr. Nie, I am surprised. When I saw the "jumping" move of Black, I also heard from the Korean players present that this move was really damaging. It's not a good chess game, but why is it that Black's chess is not bad at all?"

It was obvious that Lao Nie had always had a low eye for Korean chess players. After listening to Zhou's translation, Lao Nie said with contempt, "Hehe, what do these Korean players know about chess, Xiao Zhou, let me tell you, black. The main reason why the chess can lead in the air is that this step is "sharp rush"."

   "Oh? What does Teacher Nie say?"

"this"

  To tell the truth, Old Nie just said it casually. Regarding Zhou's translation, the current Old Nie can't answer it either.

   But Lao Nie is Lao Nie after all, he said haha:

"Haha, your question is a bit advanced, so I won't talk about it today, because if I really explain it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in three days and three nights. Come, come, let's watch chess now, continue to watch chess, watch Let's see when Li Xiangping can take down his opponent"

   What's the story behind this game of chess?

   There is really no story. You must know that today's opponent is a Bengu school, and one of the characteristics of the Bengue school is that they are more disciplined when playing chess. When they are at a disadvantage, they don't have much to do.

  Since Black has already achieved such a big advantage in the overall 60-odd moves, then facing Shi Daqisheng, Yamada Badan of the Benge faction has no chance of winning.

   In fact, this is also the case. At 4:30 in the afternoon, the overall situation was less than 170 moves. Seeing that the gap was too large, it was impossible to recover.

   In this way, Li Xiangping broke into the top 4 of the World Series, which was the first game to end in the 4 games.

   This is actually not the focus of today, the focus is after the game is over.

After the chess game was over, Li Xiangping first returned to the hotel to prepare for the drawing ceremony at night, while Lao Nie and Zhou Yi continued to stay on the field.

   At around 6 o'clock in the evening, the two came back excitedly, and when they saw Li Xiangping and Old Nie, they shouted:

   "Haha Li Xiangping, it's time for you to become famous."

"Um?"

  Li Xiangping stared at Lao Nie in confusion, and finally Zhou's translation explained:

   "Xiangping, do you know who the other top four players are?"

   "Who is it?"

   "The three kings of Korea."

  Translation Zhou said with a smile: "With Lao Cao in the first round, Xiangping, you have a chance to meet the four kings of Korea in a single jump."
