   Chapter 57 Dream Ending

   "Hahahaha Ding'an brother, how do you think I'm doing in this game?"

   Really can't blame Li Xiangping for being so excited, and his excitement is not just because he won this game, he has actually passed this qualifier and entered the top 32 of this year's "Samsung Cup". More important reasons—

   Today's game against Mr. Xiaolin was all played by Li Xiangping himself. That's right, from the first step to the last move, all are from Li Xiangping's own hands! This is the main reason why Li Xiangping is really excited.

   You must know that this is the first game he has played since he crossed over. This is not only a victory that belongs to him personally, but also kills a famous general like Kobayashi Koichi.

   So Li Xiangping's current mood is completely understandable, so as soon as he leaves the arena, he can't wait to show off in front of Shi Daqisheng. Of course, this behavior is completely normal.

"Xiangping Xiaoyou played very well, and Ding'an deeply admired it. Looking at today's game, Xiangping Xiaoyou has been playing the game all the way, and you can move freely, especially the step of "breaking in". Friends, I saw this move for the first time, but Ding’an didn’t understand its meaning for a while. I was really worried about you. I didn’t expect this move to be a thunderclap, and it was the finishing touch of this bureau. Alas, Xiaoyou Xiangping The chess skills are so superb that Ding'an is ashamed."

   Li Xiangping giggled, enjoying his own plug-in flattering himself. Li Xiangping is not the kind of person who does not have self-knowledge, and he will not be able to find Bei just because he won a game of chess, thinking that he is really "excellent chess player" or the like.

   Just how to say, people are all vanity, not to mention a dude like Li Xiangping, this kind of person's vanity is actually stronger than the average person.

   At this moment, Li Xiangping remembered another thing. He suddenly remembered that since he crossed with Lao Shi as a plug-in, his image in front of Shi Daqi has always been taller.

Except for the first game after the rebirth, in the Xiuqin VS Xiudou game, I played a few stupid chess games, the rest of the time was almost always a "highlight moment", and what I showed in front of Lao Shi didn't seem to be a "dog trick" It is the classic trick that human beings have tried and tested.

   Therefore, in order to maintain his "splendid image", Li Xiangping once again pretended to be in front of his plug-in:

"Hehe, Ding'an brother is overrated. The step you just said of "breaking in" is also normal. This is what I thought about yesterday, and came up with a strategy to defeat the enemy. If brother Ding'an still doesn't understand something, I will But I would like to tell you in detail."

   "I would like to hear the details, I would like to hear the details."

  Li Xiangping's whole body is full of peace, such an opportunity to pretend is not something you can come across casually:

   "So, let's find a chessboard first."

   After the two returned to the room, Li Xiangping began to analyze the reasons for winning the game in detail. It should be said that Lao Shi is right. The reason why Li Xiangping was able to win Kobayashi Koichi today is the "break in" move.

   It's just that that move was not original by Li Xiangping, and Shenma's "thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy overnight" was just pretending.

   In real history, this move appeared for the first time. It should have been a real battle between Chinese chess player Chang Hao and Li Canghao a year or two later.

Li Xiangping vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the semi-finals of a world competition. It was through such a move that Chang Hao won the decisive game, thus defeating Li Canghao 2-1 in the three-game chess game, becoming the first player to defeat Li Canghao in the chess game. Lee Chang-ho's non-Korean chess player achieved a breakthrough that seemed very remarkable at the time.

   Unfortunately, in the final, Chang Hao lost to Li Canghao's master Cao Xunxuan with a score of 1-2, failing to break through the "Iron Curtain of Cao Li's Master and Apprentice", which was more mythical at the time.

   Of course, the reason why Li Xiangping can remember this method is not entirely because of this story, but more importantly, the technical connotation of this move. Li Xiangping even thinks that Chang Hao's move in that year made the once very popular "Xiao Linliu" withdraw from the stage of history in one fell swoop.

Senior chess fans know that in the last 20 years of the 20th century, due to Mr. Kobayashi Koichi, this "Kobayashi style" became very popular. It is one of the most popular layout routines in this era. This routine is not only loved by ordinary chess fans, It is also very popular in professional chess battles.

   However, after entering the new century, this layout routine suddenly became unpopular, especially in professional chess players, "Kobayashi-style" almost disappeared. So much so that before Li Xiangping crossed over, he occasionally played chess online. If he encountered a chess player who played "Xiao Lin Liu", he would have an inexplicable intimacy, because such a chess player does not matter the level, but the chess age should be relatively long.

   The reason why this happens is that Li Xiangping thinks it has nothing to do with the match between Chang Hao VS Li Canghao.

In fact, Li Xiangping didn't know until now that when Chang Hao used the method at that time, he had researched it in advance, or it was an "ingenuity" during the game. However, the method he used made "Xiao Linliu" almost disappear. Is the truth.

Why is this so? In a nutshell: The method Chang Hao used at the time fundamentally shook the theoretical foundation of the existence of "Kobayashi-style".

   That's right, that's what Li Xiangping thinks! To understand this statement, of course, we must first understand what is the theoretical basis of "Kobayashi-style".

Senior chess fans of course know that there are actually two types of so-called "Xiao Lin flow", one is "Xingjia Wuyou corner", which is called "Kung Fu-type Xiao Lin flow", and the other is today's Li Xiang The screen and Mr. Xiaolin came out, and it was also the actual battle between Chang Hao and Li Canghao. This kind of "Xiaolin flow" is very similar to "Chinese flow", especially "Chinese flow in disguise". It is a kind of "speed layout", so it is called "Speed ​​Kobayashi-style".

   Don't talk about the "Kung Fu-type Kobayashi-style" before, just talk about this "speed-type Kobayashi-style". What is the theoretical basis of this routine?

   In fact, like most of the other "speed-based layouts", the core idea is to first let your own pieces expand quickly, and then achieve your own strategic goals through the very common idea of ​​"attacking and profiting" in Go. It's just that different "speed-type" layout routines have different focuses.

Specific to this "speed-type Kobayashi-style", chess fans with certain strength know that the focus of this layout routine, or after this routine is played, the center of gravity of the entire chessboard will naturally fall on the "small eye" position. That side road.

According to countless actual combat practices in the past, everyone thinks that when this "speed-type Kobayashi flow" is released, it is easy to better defend one's own edge during the attack process. It is precisely because this routine perfectly fits the "attack profit". "Thinking, the first move seems to be very beneficial, so in the past 20 years, this "speed-type Kobayashi style" has become so popular.

   And the trick that Chang Hao discovered is so powerful.

   Don't you think you can fully defend the margins? Well, I "break in" deeply. Just like the game of chess in real history and Li Xiangping's actual combat today, I don't expect the child I "break in" to survive, but when you eat me big After the Dragon Queen, you will find that you are already at a disadvantage.

   This is of course very subversive, and it can be said that it is this subversion that shakes the foundation of the existence of the "Kobayashi Style".

   So where does this subversion come from? Or why would you be at a disadvantage if you eat a dragon from the opponent at the beginning?

  This involves a keyword in Go, and this keyword, of course, is the legendary "take qi and eat".

It can be said that it was precisely because of this key word that amateur experts like Li Yuanhu and Lao Cai could not clearly judge the situation at the time. They only saw that Li Xiangping died as soon as he came up, but they forgot that the place itself was black. The territory of chess, so White dies in that place, and the local loss is far less than imagined.

   I didn't even notice that where Black still has to "take his breath", then White's loss will be even more negligible.

   The most important thing is that because Black wants to "take his breath", that part also left 9 robberies for White, 9 huge robberies, which Black must respond to at any time.

   It is necessary to tell the truth, precisely because of the existence of these 9 incomparably huge robbers, it can be judged that when this change is completed, White has gained an advantage.

You must know that those 9 robberies are like 9 ticking time bombs for Black. After eating a chicken-like dragon, he will be restrained in his future chess moves, and he will face any robbing player from White. Possibly, black chess can only swallow his voice, so if such a chess is played, it will undoubtedly be very embarrassing.”

  Why did Mr. Koichi Kobayashi admit defeat so quickly today? First, his level is much higher than Li Yuanhu and the others. He should have judged it long ago. In fact, he did not gain any advantage after eating a big dragon.

   What about the second? Li Xiangping thought that he just couldn't stand that kind of humiliation, so he chose to admit defeat in the middle game when he had less than 100 hands.

   It is precisely because Mr. Kobayashi conceded defeat in less than 100 hands, which gave Li Xiangping's trip to Korea a fantastic ending.

Of the 5 games, one of which was won by the opponent's abstention, and except for this game, in the remaining 4 games, except for the game with Cui Mingxun who had more than 160 hands and the opponent conceded, the other 3 games were all within 100 hands. End the fight within.

   For Li Xiangping, who participated in this competition as an amateur chess player, can there be a more fantastic result than this?

   After telling Shi Daqi all what he knew, Li Xiangping said with satisfaction:

   "Okay, Brother Ding'an, the next stage of the competition will be held in early December. The opponents in the next stage will definitely be stronger. We will return to China immediately tomorrow and concentrate on preparing for the next stage of competition."
