The time came to 12 noon, and the first game of the final was closed at noon. At this time, there were a total of 38 moves. It is worth mentioning that the last move of the morning was played by Lao Shi at a little after 11:30.

After that, Li Canghao never made any moves and went directly to the closing game at noon.

"Brother Ding'an, what do you think your opponent is thinking? Also, how do you feel about the situation now?"

During the game in the morning, Li Xiangping remained silent. He handed over all the chess-playing tasks to the plug-in, so at this time, he began to ask Lao Shi.

"Haha, I'm not my opponent. How do I know what he is thinking about? As for the situation, it's still too early to tell. It doesn't make much sense to say this. Ding'an can only say that so far in this game, everything is still as planned by us.

It’s within the strategy.”

"Haha, that's good, that's good. Brother Ding'an, believe me. As long as we stick to our planned strategy, I believe we will win this time."

Lao Nie and the others were enthusiastically dismantling Li Xiangping's "new move" to see if there were any flying knives hidden in it. Judging from the progress of the game, Li Canghao may have been affected by this. The reason why he was so cautious in his moves was Li Xiang.

Ping thought he was probably afraid of being cheated.

As the "closest bystander", Li Xiangping certainly knew that in today's game, he and Lao Shi really didn't prepare any flying knives, nor did they think of setting a trap for Da Li. They just aimed at this

The characteristics of the opponent, or simply put, a specific strategy was formulated to target Li Canghao's weaknesses.

The semi-finals ended more than two months ago. With such a long preparation time, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi certainly thought about how this fifth round of chess should be played. To be honest, during the preparations, the two of them did think about it.

Should we prepare a few "flying knives" or something? However, this idea was quickly rejected by the two of them.

Not only did Lao Shi deny it, but even someone of Li Xiangping’s level also denied it.

Because Li Xiangping knew very well that although his surname was Li and he came from a later generation, the flying knives he grinded could never be "Xiao Li's flying knives". Since it was not "Xiao Li's flying knives", it would definitely not be possible.

"There are no false starts".

And once you fail to "make every false move", it may be fatal in this kind of game, and you may lose the game because of it.

And once you lose a game because of a missed knife throw - anyone who has played Go knows that this will seriously destroy your self-confidence, hit your morale, and it is entirely possible that you will lose the entire series.

Of course, this is what Li Xiangping doesn't want to see.

If Li Xiangping felt that his plug-in was no match for Da Li, and that this game required a desperate fight, then he might suggest using a flying knife. However, now Li Xiangping believes that his plug-in is fully capable of fighting against Da Li.

Even in private, Li Xiangping really wanted to see the head-on confrontation between the ancient chess sage from the ancient times and the best master of this era.

So in this case, "flying knives" are naturally excluded.

However, although there is no flying knife, the necessary strategies still need to be considered before the game, especially the first game of this kind of five-game chess. This is the first time the two sides have played against each other, and it is a real encounter.

, then Li Xiangping believes that for a competition like this, of course there are conditions to think of ways to consider some "targeted" issues.

As a time traveler and a time traveler who has formally studied Go for several years, the problem is very simple. Li Canghao's chess style is called "control flow". To deal with his style, or simply

When it comes to dealing with Da Li, which method is most suitable?

Li Xiangping believed that if someone traveled through time like him and was in the same position as him, he would definitely think of a chess player's name immediately.

This chess player is none other than Lee Cang-ho in real history. He is one of the members of South Korea's "Niu Calf Three Gang" and is nicknamed "Viper". He is also nicknamed "Cui Zhehao" by chess fans in South Korea.

Chess player Cui Zhehan.

Li Xiangping remembered that in real history, when "Cui Poison" repeatedly defeated Li Canghao, who was at his peak at that time, many people were puzzled. At that time, Xiao Cui was obviously not a top player, his skills were not deep, and he was not technically capable.

The flaws seem to be very obvious. Let alone others, even Kong Erjie was very accurate when dealing with Xiao Cui. But why did he become Li Canghao's super troublemaker?

The reasons for this are very complicated, but the biggest reason, Li Xiangping believes, is the conflict between chess and style.

Li Canghao is known as the "control flow". His greatest strength is actually his excellent judgment ability, or in other words, his ability to control the overall situation that surpasses other chess players of this era. This should be Li Canghao's greatest strength.

Awesome place.

Li Xiangping even believed that Li Canghao's strongest point actually lies in his ability to control the overall situation, rather than what many people think of as official Kung Fu. After all, many people in later generations have commented that if we talk about official Kung Fu alone, then

Lee may not be as good as Park Yong-hun, who was later known as the "god of death among officials", but he has never achieved the terrifying dominance of Lee Cang-ho, which shows that the role of official Kung Fu must have been exaggerated.

Compared with controlling the overall situation, for some specific Go methods, this is not Li Canghao's strength, and may even be regarded as his weakness, otherwise Xiao Li would not have said a famous saying: "Among all the top players in today's chess world,

, Brother Canghao’s strength may be the weakest..."

No matter whether others believe what Xiao Li said or not, Li Xiangping does believe it anyway. Li Xiangping thinks that what Xiao Li said is actually quite objective. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why people like "Cui Poison" can

Becoming Da Li's biggest enemy.

Because his snake-like chess style restrained Li Canghao's "control flow" and made him unable to "control" it at all. What does this mean? Li Xiangping believes that this is actually equivalent to abolishing Li Canghao.

He has the strongest martial arts, and if you can destroy a person's strongest martial arts, then it will naturally be easier to defeat him in a competition.

This is the overall strategy that Li Xiangping and Lao Shi discussed in the first game of the final.

The reason why I chose this variation of "Muramasa's Demonic Sword" in the beginning is that there are no flying knives and no hidden skills. The only reason for this setup is that after this variation, it is easy to form a head-on contact battle on the chessboard.

It is the kind of frontal contact battle that neither side can avoid, and may even sweep the entire situation.

And if it plays like this, Li Xiangping thinks that his side will be successful, and he dare not say that this game will win, but Lao Shi's chance of winning should be very high, because once Li Canghao cannot "control", he will be better than ordinary nine-dan players.

Not much better.

The game ended at noon, and this strategy was executed quite well, so Li Xiangping was in a happy mood now.

"Brother Ding'an, have a good afternoon, I'm optimistic about you."

Li Xiangping is indeed more optimistic about Lao Shi now, because so far, no one has thought of using this method to deal with Li. Even "Cui Poison" himself, in real history, it will not be until the end of this year.

In the first half of the year and early next year, he used this method to officially defeat Da Li in two domestic chess tournaments in Korea, and it really became a bitter skill for him.
