At 4:40 pm, Li Xiangping, who had already taken over the game from his cheater, made the 182nd move of the game.

This is the final winner of this round!

At the same time, this is also a masterstroke.

It's just that this move is different from other moves. This move looks too ordinary. It's not as eye-catching as Mr. Zhao Zhixun's move "Two Pass Points" just now, let alone Lao Shi's previous move.

It's as eye-catching as "The Magic Hand with Red Ears".

All in all, Li Xiangping's move didn't look like a masterful move. When this move was first announced to the viewing room, many players didn't even understand what it meant at the first time.

.

Of course, this does not mean that the level of these chess players is not good. The main reason is that Li Xiangping's move is really ordinary, just an ordinary "little point" move, and his "little point" move is not like "show strategy".

The "small tip" that is so classic in Go is a very ordinary and common move "small tip" that appears in the center of the board.

The reason why everyone failed to understand the intention of this move at the first time was mainly because a calamity battle had just ended on the chessboard. After a series of dazzling transitions, everyone subconsciously thought that now was the time.

The moment of final division of territory.

And Li Xiangping's "little tip" seems to have no numerical value, nor does it seem like a stereotyped means of dividing territories, so what does he mean?

"Hey! What does this move mean..."

Soon some chess players noticed something strange, and when they noticed something strange, it was really not because of Li Xiangping's move. It was mainly because of Mr. Zhao Zhixun's subsequent moves that everyone felt that something was wrong.

Faced with White's "small tip" move, Black made three consecutive moves to "defeat the general".

It is precisely because of Mr. Zhao Zhixun's continuous "beating" that everyone feels something is wrong - you want to know who Mr. Zhao is? The "Shichiban chess devil" in the Japanese chess world, a famous countdown expert, known as

A person who can continuously maintain the accuracy of more than 100 hands amidst the sound of the countdown.

So for a person like him to "beat the general" continuously, first of all, he is definitely not trying to pick a target. You must know that "beating the general" once can extend your thinking time by one minute, and "beating the general" three times can buy you 3 minutes.

For Lao Zhao, in a situation like today, three minutes would be enough for him to order more than three times.

Secondly, it is impossible for him to conceive a new battle plan. You must know that there have been more than 180 moves now, and there is no place to open a new battlefield on the chessboard. Moreover, after the catastrophe just now, everyone thought that Black had a clear advantage, so for

For Mr. Zhao Zhixun now, it is neither necessary nor necessary to open a new battlefield.

So the only reasonable explanation for his continuous "beating" is that Lao Zhao discovered the problem at this time, and he found this "little tip" difficult to deal with!

After a few more minutes, everyone in the viewing room finally discovered the problem. They found that this "little tip" step was really difficult to handle, and it could even be said that they couldn't handle it at all!

This "little point" move is a good one-step contact. As soon as this "little point" appears on the chessboard, the "little tail" that seemed to have been cut off by black's chess just now still has a way to survive. It can actually be used by this "little point" move.

Relying on "Jian", you can get home safely and smoothly.

What does it mean that the little tail goes home in a row? It means that Black's series of efforts starting from the "second pass point" now seem to be in vain.

This means that the last robbery material that Mr. Zhao Zhixun was looking for now looks like a "blind robbery".

When everyone in the research room figured out all the subsequent changes, all the Japanese chess players present were silent. One of the young chess players who looked like a college student whispered softly:

"It's a pity, Mr. Zhao, that we lost this game to a blind calamity."

At this time, although Takemiya Masaki's face didn't look very good, he still glanced at the chess player:

"Oh, do you think it was a blind robbery? In front of such a hidden master, do you think it was a blind robbery?"

The young chess player stopped talking. Indeed, from the results, Mr. Zhao Zhixun did find a blind robber just now, but there are three levels of robbers. His move was not a low-level mistake, he just didn't calculate it.

It was just this hidden communication method, and not only him, but also so many chess players in the research room didn't take it into account.

So from this perspective, rather than saying that he lost to blind robbery, it would be better to say that he lost to Li Xiangping's skill.

"Well, although it's a bit regretful, Zhixun did not lose unfairly in general. He was able to make this "small tip" move and the "ear-like red skill" move before. This Chinese genius, tsk tsk...

.Okay everyone, let me take the first step. Anyway, I enjoyed a good game of chess today."

The person who said this was Mr. Dazhu Yingxiong. After saying this, his old man left Shi Shiran. And with his departure, the game soon came to an end. In the game room, Zhao Zhixun

Seeing that the situation was unsustainable, the gentleman graciously chose to admit defeat.

After a brief review, after Mr. Zhao Zhixun also left, Li Xiangping could not hide his excitement:

"Hahaha Brother Ding'an, what do you think of the "little point" on my hand?"

"Yes, yes, Ding'an is not as good as this. By the way, little friend Xiangping, how did you come up with this idea at that time?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said nothing. It wasn't that he didn't want to show off or brag in front of his plug-in. In fact, he couldn't explain how he came up with this trick.

If he really wants to be serious, then Li Xiangping thinks that his recent training method may be the best, which has greatly improved his path calculation ability and pruning ability. For example, he was just calculating whether the "little tail" of the white chess piece could be

When I was escaping, I found that no matter what kind of escape route I designed, that point was a key position. As long as that point was occupied by the black chess piece, the white chess piece seemed not to be able to do it.

It was precisely for this reason that that point caught his attention. He used reverse thinking to discard all other useless calculations, and in the end all calculations were centered around that point.

The result was very good, and he finally found the correct solution.

"Hahaha Brother Ding'an, don't ask me how I discovered the good move, but you need to be vigilant. Look at this game, you made such an exquisite move in the middle game, and almost lost in the end. Don't you need to reflect on it?

?”

"Well, save Ding'an. I think the key to this round lies in the prologue. It's precisely because the prologue is lagging behind that even if you make good moves in the middle game, there are still hidden dangers. It's just that the opponent doesn't make a pair. Once

If you play against a pair, a hard fight in the second half of the game is inevitable, so Ding'an still needs to find ways to continue to improve in terms of layout in the future."

"Hey, it's good that you know."

After pretending to be cool in front of his cheat for a while, Li Xiangping got up and went to the viewing room next door. While accepting congratulations from everyone, he also watched the other games.

When he came to the viewing room next door, Chang Hao was already there. After all, his opponent in this round was an amateur chess player, and a European and American amateur chess player, so his victory was natural.

Li Xiangping and Chang Hao have now reached the semi-finals of two Chinese chess players. So now, Li Xiangping's focus is on the eight-dan competition of another Chinese chess player Wang Lei.

Wang Lei’s eighth-dan opponent today is Li Canghao. This is the second time the two met in the World Series this year after the top 16 of the "Samsung Cup" not long ago. Li Xiangping still remembers that in the last game, Li Canghao slaughtered

Losing the king's base to a big dragon also triggered a big discussion about whether Li Canghao's chess style has changed.

When Li Xiangping went in to watch, the game had only reached more than 150 moves. However, although the number of moves was small, the battle on the chessboard was extremely fierce. Wang Lei's nickname was "Ye Li Gan Hong", and it was normal for him to like fighting.

However, judging from this game of chess, Li Xiangping believes that it is not groundless to say that Li Canghao is quietly changing his style.

A little after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, apart from Wang Lei's game, the other quarter-final match ended earlier. The two sides in that game were Liu Changhe 9th Dan and Wang Mingwan 9th Dan. In the end, Wang Mingwan won the 9th Dan.

Liu Changhe, who just lost the "Fujitsu Cup" final not long ago, seems to have not recovered yet. He seemed to be sleepwalking throughout the game today, and was easily defeated by Wang Jiudan.

At around 5:30 p.m., the last set ended. After a huge melee, Li Canghao was the better in the end, and he grabbed the last place in the semi-finals.

As a result, the top four players of the first "Toyota Cup" were all produced, namely Li Xiangping, Chang Hao, Li Canghao and Wang Mingwan.

Although it was very hard to win this game, it was the closest Shi Daqi Sheng came to losing in this year's competition, but no matter what, so far, Li Xiangping still maintains the record of surviving in all world competitions.

The draw for the semi-finals was held that night. Since there were two Chinese chess players in the semi-finals, Li Xiangping's opponent could only be between Li Canghao and Wang Mingwan.

During the draw, everyone kept their eyes open to see if Li Xiangping, the "future overlord", could draw the "current king" Li Canghao.

It's a pity that everyone was disappointed. When Li Xiangping unfolded the small note in his hand, he and Wang Mingwan's ninth-level hands were held together.

This time, the semi-finals of the "Toyota Cup" were determined by one set, but in the finals, it became three games. The 9th-dan semi-finals between Li Xiangping and Wang Mingwan are not far away now, and will be held in early October in a month's time.

Before this game, Lao Shi still had two games to play. These two games were the quarterfinals of this year's "LG Cup" and "Samsung Cup" respectively. So Li Xiangping worked non-stop. Not long after returning from Japan,

He immediately set off for South Korea, first competing in the quarterfinals of the "LG Cup", followed by the quarterfinals of the "Samsung Cup".
Chapter completed!
