At 12 noon Tokyo time, the two-hour game ended in the morning.

Because at the beginning of the game, Li Xiangping suddenly made a "split shot" that he almost never played before, which made the progress of the morning very slow.

Maybe out of prudence, of course, there may be other ideas, in short, in the morning game, Brother Dali seemed cautious, completely without the style of the previous "fast gunner", after that move of "split throw", almost every move he made took more time than Li Xiangping.

Because of Gu Dali's slowness, there were only 42 chess pieces on the chessboard when the mid-belly was sealed.

Not only was the number of hands in the morning small, but there didn't seem to be anything particularly noteworthy in terms of technology, to put it simply: almost every move on both sides was blameless, but at the same time, there was no bright spot in each hand.

Today, there are no new dog moves, no new flying knives, and no gorgeous tesuji, grand and exquisite ideas, and the two of them seem to be going on step by step.

However, despite this, when this game was carried out so far, not only did the person involved in Gu Dali seem to be a different person, he suddenly became cautious and cautious, and all the professional chess players who followed the final of this game were also discussing the progress of the morning.

All of this, of course, is because of Li Xiangping's step of "splitting the investment".

This situation is actually the norm in the Go world.

Even throughout the history of the development of human Go, this phenomenon has been the norm.

You must know that the game of Go is too difficult and complicated, and there is no standard answer for human chess players, so when professional chess players are learning, what is the weather vane that everyone pays the most attention to?

There are generally two such weather vanes, one is that the chess players think that the strongest chess player in history, for example, if you think Wu Qingyuan is strong, you will learn his chess, if you think that the Tao Ce is the strongest, then you may also learn his chess.

This self-perceived "strongest ever" varies from person to person, so this weather vane is not fixed.

However, in each era, another weather vane is relatively fixed: that is, the "strongest contemporary in each era", no matter how the times change, as long as you can become the "strongest contemporary in that era", then the chess he plays will definitely become the weather vane of that era.

There is no doubt that Li Xiangping is already recognized as the "strongest in contemporary times" in the entire professional chess world, and even now, some people are discussing the question of whether he is "the strongest in history".

This is also because Li Xiangping is still too young, and everyone thinks that it is too early to discuss this issue, which does not make this topic a hot topic.

However, despite this, when he suddenly made a move that he had never played before, or even a move that he had clearly objected to, it was only natural that it attracted a lot of attention from the professional Go community:

What does Li Xiangping mean today? Why did he suddenly make this split? Did he make any new discoveries in this approach? Or is he now having a new idea and preparing to overturn his previous arguments?

In East Asia, in China, Japan, and South Korea, the three traditional Go powers, after watching the morning's progress, there are now countless professional chess players thinking about this issue or discussing it.

Even not only in the outside world, but even Li Xiangping's plug-in Lao Shi, he couldn't help but ask during the lunch break:

"Hey, Xiangping Xiaoyou, what's going on today? How could you suddenly make this move? ”

"Hehe, without it, I play this move today, I want to pay tribute to the "ninety-three point shot" in ancient chess. ”

Li Xiangping first made a joke with himself-------

It is Lao Shi's sentence "so that the enemy has no large blocks and dismantles three places, and the layout is the most mellow", which makes the "ninety-three point shot" have a special position in ancient chess, as if it is a standard configuration.

After making a joke, Li Xiangping continued: "Brother Ding'an, we are not outsiders, then I will tell you the truth, the reason why I suddenly sacrificed this move today was purely a whim, just a whim, I don't know why, I had the urge to play this move at that time." ”

"On a whim?"

"Or what do you think?" Li Xiangping continued to smile and said:

"It should be a more wonderful game psychology, you also saw at the time, the opponent quickly fell off the "small eye single guard corner", and after the game, that guy smiled at me, so I thought, what does this guy mean? Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, do you prefer to go to the tiger mountains? If he hadn't made particularly careful preparations, would he dare to provoke me so blatantly? ”

"Hehe, so you decided to avoid its edge, since the opponent is prepared, so you find another way, but Xiangping Xiaoyou, although this is a very common game psychology, but it is not your style, haven't you been emphasizing the triple realm of professional chess players, how can you suddenly avoid the war today? I don't believe you have any other meaning. ”

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "Haha Ding'an, you are thinking too much today, I didn't lie just now, the reason why I used this trick today, ninety percent of the reason is the whim at the time, and the remaining layer, if you say "deep meaning", it seems to be counted, I just want to try to explore the boundary of the dog." ”

"The boundaries of dogs?"

"Yes, Brother Ding'an," Li Xiangping explained to his crumbling:

"Of course, you and I both know now that dogs don't use this trick again, but before that, we just follow the dogs step by step, because dogs don't use it, so we don't use it, we just use our human Go theory at most, and find a theoretical explanation for dogs not to use this trick, but you have to know that theory is theory, and practice is practice......"

"Not bad, Xiangping Xiaoyou's idea is excellent, the game is a way, the actual combat is indeed chess theory can never be replaced, Ding'an understands what you mean, you just want to use this game today, to explore the boundaries of why the machine doesn't use this move?"

"Hehe, one into one, if the deep meaning of the tall is really only one percent, it is more really just a whim at the time, okay, Brother Ding'an won't tell you, the time has come, let's go back to the game room now."

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping returned to the game room, because he had basically never played such a "split shot" before, so in the last 2 minutes, Li Xiangping briefly sorted out the next game ideas.

If you want to sort out your thinking, of course, you can only start from the chess theory, and when it comes to today's game of chess, Li Xiangping naturally thinks about why the dog doesn't use this move.

As for this problem, Li Xiangping has considered it for a long time, and he and Lao Shi agreed that the reason why dogs do not "see peace" is because this kind of "seeing peace" is easy to lose the initiative.

The "see and meet" in Go can be summarized in one sentence very simply: I choose a move on the chessboard, and the characteristic of this move is that it can leave two good points on the chessboard, so that no matter which good point the opponent grabs, he will definitely leave a good point for himself.

One of the two good points must be obtained, which is the essence of "seeing and meeting".

It is precisely because of this benefit of "must get one" that the idea of "seeing and compating" has become popular in the past human Go, from ancient chess to Japanese ancient chess, and then from Japanese ancient chess to modern Go, this kind of thinking is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is very popular in the Go world.

But why don't dogs basically "see each other"? This prompted Li Xiangping to think deeply about this problem, and later he found an explanation: he believes that although "one of the two must be obtained", when you "get", this order is first and second.

That is to say, as long as you play the "meeting" chess, then the next choice initiative, you are actually in the hands of the opponent, and you will always let the family choose to "first" first.

This kind of loss of initiative is not liked by dogs again.

Especially in the network game of later generations, Li Xiangping has seen too many human chess players and dogs fighting, when human beings sacrifice "see together" and think that they can always 'get one of the two good points', but I didn't expect the dogs to make three or two moves, they can always create some situation on the chessboard, so that the good points that seem to be completely equivalent become unequal.

If the two good points are not equal, then it is very fatal to lose the initiative, and as long as someone snatches the move that is more valuable, you will suffer at that time.

This should be the reason why the dog can't "meet"!

And since Li Xiangping understands the chess theory in this, the reason why he still wants to play "Jianhe" today is that he thinks that this chess theory can also be used in reverse:

Since the key to breaking the "meeting of opinions" is to create a situation to make the two good points unequal, then in the next actual battle, I will focus on preventing this.

As long as Gu Dali wants to create this situation, then he will try to destroy this form, and once he can't complete this task, then "seeing together" can still be regarded as a good move.

The above is the basic idea of Li Xiangping's game of chess.

Will he be able to defend against it? Li Xiangping has no bottom in his heart, after all, the initiative is not on Li Xiangping's side at all, and this kind of purely defensive play has never been Li Xiangping's style-------

In his previous life, he was not a teenager who failed to punch the stage, and now that he has studied dog tricks for so long, it is even more not this style.

But can't you prevent it? Li Xiangping thinks that it is not likely.

After all, such a way of playing as "seeing and combining", this is not a real bad move and bad chess in the traditional sense, how to say it, it is a bit similar to what humans often say "fun direction", whether the "interest direction" can be turned into a bad move is not the move itself, but the opponent's ability and level, only to achieve considerable attainments to do this.

Obviously, although Brother Dali is already a super-first-class human master, he is still a human after all, although he has also studied dog tricks for a while, but he is still far from a real dog, so Li Xiangping feels that he has a lot of room to deal with his opponent.

Li Xiangping threw himself into the afternoon game with this in mind, and he was ready to defend hard.

And what is the most important keyword in the defense of Go? Li Xiangping personally believes that it is patience, so from the beginning, he was ready to deal with his opponent patiently.

However, the process of the game in the afternoon was slightly beyond Li Xiangping's expectations, he was ready to defend, but the opponent seemed to have forgotten to attack, Li Xiangping waited for a long time, until it was close to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and when the overall situation had passed 100 hands, the offensive he expected did not come at all.

Li Xiangping was a little strange at first, because this was not Gu Dali's style at all.

It's just that the opponent in the game is cautious, and almost all the moves are not for merit, but for no fault.

Li Xiangping gradually came to his senses, and he suddenly felt a little funny:

Li Xiangping believes that for today's game, Brother Dali must have made quite adequate preparations, and he may have imagined many possibilities.

However, his method today, it should be beyond his expectations.

And this kind of surprise to Gu Dali is likely to flash his waist directly.

He may have been suspicious since the morning, and then began to suffer from gains and losses, which caused him to be on high alert as if he were facing a great enemy, for fear of falling into some trap or conspiracy of his own.

Then in this state, it is easiest to make the kind of move that does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

And today, just before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, almost all of Brother Dali's moves are this kind of method that does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

Li Xiangping secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, he said in his heart that if he knew that the opponent would come like this, then he should have changed his mind earlier, otherwise he would not have more than 120 chess moves, and there was still a balance of power on the chessboard-------

Yes, when it comes to 126 moves, there is indeed a balance of power on the board.

At least Li Xiangping himself thinks that it is a balance of power, and the current situation on the chessboard is difficult to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages, and no one can talk about any advantages.

Because although Gu Dali's chess has no bright spots, almost every move is ordinary and simple, with no shortcomings and no advantages.

However, Li Xiangping himself is also based on defense, and he has been based on defense since the next step of "split shot".

Since he is based on defense, every move he makes is actually ordinary and simple.

Since both of them don't seek merit, but seek no fault, it's no wonder if you don't make a balance of power.

All this until the 127th hand of Brother Hercules appeared.

At around 3:40 p.m., when his move had just appeared on the board, Li Xiangping sat up straight.

After carefully calculating for 10 minutes, Li Xiangping secretly sighed in his heart, he said in his heart that he had practiced the chess method for so long, although it left a certain sequelae, but the benefits were obviously obvious.

The biggest advantage of making chess can cultivate the player's sense of smell and enhance the player's ability to capture the fighter's machine------

Of course, this situation is also normal, when you are playing handicap, because you are at a huge disadvantage from the beginning, even from the first move, you have to think about how to grow grass on the stones.

In this case, after a long period of such training, the ability to capture fighters is of course easy to improve.

And right now, Li Xiangping relies on this ability he has cultivated.

Capture fighter skills that seem to be stronger than ever! He was the first to notice the problem of Black 127.

Then through careful calculation, he confirmed that this was correct, although Gu Dali's mistake was very hidden, it would not cause much loss locally, it was the kind of "inadvertent thinking" that was replaced by a fake.

However, for Li Xiangping, he thinks that just this one mistake is enough for himself.

"Alas~~~ Brother Strong, Brother Strong, it seems that your first world champion doesn't seem to have arrived this time......."

At around 3:55 p.m., Li Xiangping fell the 128th hand in the overall game.

This is a decisive hand!

This move should be able to determine the ownership of this year's "Fujitsu Cup".
