After a day of rest, the round of 16 of the 5th "Samsung Cup" continued to be played in the Chinese Chess Academy.

As in the first round, on the day of the match, Li Xiangping came to the Chinese Chess Academy early and entered the game room early, waiting for the arrival of today's opponent, Mr. Masao Kato.

Compared with the first round, Li Xiangping's mood today is much more relaxed. Although yesterday when he introduced the opponent's situation to Lao Shi, Li Xiangping said a lot of good things about the opponent and warned himself not to underestimate the enemy, but to be honest, Li Xiangping's meaning is limited to this.

How so? Although Li Xiangping will not treat Mr. Kato as a weak chicken, he is still more confident in today's game from the perspective of victory and defeat. After all, although Mr. Kato is strong, he cannot be more difficult than Lao Cao, especially now, Lao Cao's results in the world chess battle are much better than Kato. Especially for Chinese chess players, Lao Cao is the second enemy in addition to Da Li, the so-called "Cao Li Master and Apprentice Iron Curtain", which is simply the nightmare of Chinese Go in this era.

Since Lao Shi can even win Lao Cao, Li Xiangping is of course more confident in today's game.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the game officially began, but this game of chess was Mr. Kato guessed the black chess, today's Mr. Kato seems to have come prepared, his first few moves fell quickly, completely without thinking.

However, when Li Xiangping saw Mr. Kato's start, although the opponent seemed to be prepared, Li Xiangping's already relaxed mood became even more relaxed, and he even felt that with Mr. Kato's opening alone, his chances of winning would be a few points greater.

To say that in the opening stage of a game of chess, of course, it is impossible to play any obvious bad moves or particularly serious problem moves, but why does Li Xiangping think so?

First, Mr. Kato chose a "diagonal" opening today, although he did not play "diagonal stars" like in second-hand chess, but chose two "small meshes", which can be regarded as "diagonal small mesh".

However, Li Xiangping still believes that because of the "seat", then a chess player like Lao Shi, their understanding of the "diagonal" layout should be relatively profound, although it cannot be said that the game will be like this, but Mr. Kato's choice of this opening, "in the middle of the old Shi's arms" is certain.

In addition to this reason, the second reason why Li Xiangping was happy was Mr. Kato's third and fourth moves, that is, the 5th and 7th moves of the whole world.

In the face of the black chess "diagonal small eye", of course, Shi Da chess saint has nothing to say, he used his most familiar "diagonal star" to deal with, Mr. Kato's third hand chess, he steadily guarded a "worry-free corner", and when the white chess "Xiao Fei" hung another small eye, Mr. Kato's fourth move was a very stable move.

His steady "little tip" step, the famous "little tip of Xiuce"!

How so? It should be said that Mr. Kato's first few moves have no problems in this era, and they belong to the "blameless" way of playing in this era, and through these few moves, it can be considered that Mr. Kato's idea of playing this game of chess is already obvious, and he obviously wants to lengthen the battle line and make up his mind to "fish first and then wash".

However, what kind of person is Li Xiangping, he is from later generations, has seen the "dog tricks", and is used to the "big stickers", so of course he can't look down on this kind of steady and almost conservative approach, since he can't look down on it, then of course he has reason to relax, and he will feel that his side has a better chance of winning.

However, Li Xiangping's good mood only lasted about an hour, at 11 o'clock in the morning, there were more than 20 chess moves in the whole world, Li Xiangping didn't know whether his judgment was right, in short, he felt that by this time, white chess did not get the advantage he expected, so his good mood gradually disappeared.

By the time the game was closed at noon, there were more than 40 chess moves in the whole world, and the game speed of this game was about the same as the first game, but compared with the "two points" in the first game, Li Xiangping felt that at this time, the situation of white chess seemed to be a little behind, so his good mood disappeared completely.

It is very interesting that Li Xiangping felt that the situation was backward at this time, but his plug-in didn't think so, during the lunch break, Shi Daqisheng, who seemed to be in a good mood, even took the initiative to talk to Li Xiangping:

"Xiangping Xiaoyou, what do you think I did before?"

"It's not good, Brother Ding'an, with all due respect, I think you played average in the morning, and the chess game has been carried out so far, and our situation has fallen behind."

"Huh? How can Xiangping Xiaoyou feel like this, but I think I played well before, and I dare not say that I have gained an advantage, but the overall situation of white chess is open, and it should be regarded as having opened up the situation. ”

"This ......"

Although he knew that his level of plug-ins was higher than his own, at this time, Li Xiangping was not blindly confident in his plug-ins. As the saying goes, "I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run", and Li Xiangping, who has been exposed to "dog tricks" and seen the concept of Go in later generations, is just a person who has "seen a pig run", so he did not waver this time, believing that his judgment may be closer to the truth.

"Since Xiangping Xiaoyou thinks that the situation is backward, I don't know which move you think Ding'an played wrong?"

"This ......"

It must be admitted that Lao Shi's problem really stumped Li Xiangping, you must know that this is the layout stage of a game of chess, and the layout in Go is all some "virtual calculation roads", let him analyze other people's "virtual calculation roads" at a 6 level, that is of course enough to embarrass him.

"What's the problem......

In order to answer Lao Shi's question, and also to respect his own heart, Li Xiangping re-went the morning's progress in his mind, especially every hand played by Shi Da Chess Sage, he lived very carefully on the side, and after a while, Li Xiangping finally thought of a hand of chess:

"By the way, Brother Ding'an, I think your 32nd hand step "split throw", the problem may be due to this. ”

Xiangping Xiaoyou actually thinks that the step of "split investment" is a problem? ”

Hearing Shi Daqisheng's disapproving tone, Li Xiangping didn't know what to say.

When it comes to "split throws", it is natural for chess players with a bit of chess strength to think of the famous "Miai" theory in Go, "Miai" is a Japanese word, and this word is explained in the most popular language, that is, when playing chess, there must be foresight, and there must be follow-up means, for example, when I play chess, it is best to leave two "good points" on the chessboard, so no matter which opponent plays, I can leave a good point for myself.

This is called "seeing together".

It must be admitted that this concept has such a unique charm, and has a meaning of "left and right", so this concept is very popular in the Go world, and it is one of the most common and widely used theories in the Go world.

It must be mentioned that although "miai" is a Japanese word, it also has this concept in ancient chess, but it is not mentioned in this way.

For example, the famous "nine, three-point shot", that is a typical and typical method produced by the theory of "seeing the combination".

Why doesn't Li Xiangping know what to say? In fact, this is the reason, you must know that Shi Daqi is a great advocate of the theory of "seeing and compating", in the ancient chess, the reason why the "nine, three-point shot" can be raised to the height of "only this hand" is actually to a large extent contributed by him.

However, Li Xiangping didn't know whether his point of view was right or not, especially after seeing the "dog move" in later generations, he found that Go AI rarely played "see the match" chess, especially the top "dog" and the top "dog" moves, then this kind of chess I play, leaving two good points on the chessboard, and there are very few ways to play the next one I grab.

As an amateur chess player, Li Xiangping certainly doesn't know why, just because "dog" doesn't play like this, and considering that the level of "dog" is much higher than that of humans, Li Xiangping is trying to understand.

Li Xiangping thinks: The reason why "dogs" do not play the chess of "seeing and compating" is probably because this kind of play is easy to lose dominance, right? After all, after playing the chess game of "seeing and compating", it is right to leave two good points, but which one is better to choose? The choice is in the hands of the opponent, and this kind of play method that leaves the choice to the opponent is not liked by Go AI at all, and there is no such human thinking in its algorithm.

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, you didn't say it to me, in short, I don't think the current situation of white chess is optimistic, you need to be more proactive in the afternoon."

After exchanging a few words with Lao Shi casually, Li Xiangping decided not to say anything, after all, it was the time to seal the plate at noon, and it was not appropriate to communicate too much at this time.

Secondly, in fact, even until now, Li Xiangping still does not think that there is anything wrong with the "Seeing Harmony" theory, even if the "dog" does not play the "Seeing Cooperation", the level of the dog is much higher than that of humans, but Li Xiangping still believes that the "Seeing Cooperation" theory is one of the shining points of human Go, with a unique charm.

It is the unique charm of human Go!

It's a pity that Li Xiangping really shouldn't mention the word "charm", because at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the first move that Mr. Kato landed was the 48th move in the world.

It's a great move full of charm!

And after seeing this chess hand, Shi Da Chess Saint fell into a long test.
