This year's "Chunlan Cup" are Li Xiangping, Chang Hao, Gu Dali and Chen Xiaoqiang.

Because it was the winner, the competition was held in China, and it was just a semi-final, the chess academy did not make a big fuss. The four of them went to Taizhou to participate in the competition with Yu Bin Jiudan and Liu Shizhen Qidan, deputy captain of the national Go team.

During the journey, everyone's topic has not yet left the "Fujitsu Cup" final not long ago. They feel incredible about Gu Dali's low-level mistakes and feel sorry for his missing championship.

"Oh, I said Dali," Deputy Captain Liu sighed, "Why did your brain break at that time? What a pity, it's such a pity. If you didn't make such an incredible mistake, you will be the second champion now and the only chess player who has won two championships from Xiangping. It's no exaggeration to say that your historical status can be improved because of this. Unfortunately, all this has become a bubble now. No, haha! It can't be said to be a bubble, but at least it will be delayed for a long time."

In the face of everyone's regret, Gu Dali himself was very open-minded. He repeated what he said to Li Xiangping before, saying that his own loss cannot be entirely due to luck. In the final analysis, there is still a gap in strength. After all, in the world of professional Go, luck is really part of his strength.

When he heard him say this, he felt the most empathy of Chang Hao Jiudan. He also sighed:

"Yes, luck is indeed part of the strength, otherwise it would be impossible to explain when I fought with Da Li. By the way, in addition to me, there is also Teacher Ma. Sometimes he has already won a certain chess, and then inexplicable mistakes will begin to make inexplicable mistakes at the stage of the small official, and he doesn't give more each time, and every time he just gets only half a foot. How can I explain this?"

Speaking of this, Chang Jiuduan paused, and then smiled at Li Xiangping:

"So people with strong strength usually have good luck, and have you noticed that this luck seems to be divided according to the chess style attributes. For example, Da Li, because he is good at official positions, his good luck usually occurs in the official stage. Xiangping has been a famous strongman since his debut, so this time his luck actually occurs in such a battle. Do you think so?"

When everyone present laughed when they heard him say this, even Li Xiangping laughed, but the only one who didn't laugh was Chen Xiaoqiang.

So Li Xiangping said strangely: "Hey, Xiaoqiang, what are you thinking now?"

"Well, I think in the last game, in addition to demonstrating that luck is part of strength, it actually explains a problem. Do you think so?"

After hearing what he said, everyone asked what the question was. Chen Xiaoqiang also turned his pure and flawless eyes to Li Xiangping:

"I think the last game was to break the boss's myth and break the superstition of many people, proving that as long as you perform well, the boss's order is not that terrifying, and it is not invincible. Everyone says it is."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Li Xiangping didn't laugh anymore. He pretended to be angry and said, "Damn, Xiaoqiang, you guy, you want to grab the power now, right? Hehe, then I'll leave the words now, and I'll win the others in the future. You guys are not good, and I'm not good at my order. No matter how bad my order is, it's better than your gutter flow. If you don't believe it, we'll find opportunities to practice in the future. Of course, I guess there will be no chance this time."

Yu Bin smiled and added: "Why don't you have a chance? Don't forget that Xiaoqiang is also the semi-finals now. Maybe this final will be the two of you."

"Hehe, I think this is a low-probability event." Li Xiangping said with a smile. "First of all, when facing Brother Chang, I have a strong premonition. This time it must be a big hard battle. More importantly, Xiaoqiang encountered Brother Gu. Although he was aggressive in the Tianyuan Battle, he almost took Gu Ge off. But how can the domestic title battle be compared with the World Championship? No one can meet or not......"

Speaking of this, Li Xiangping pretended to shake his head repeatedly. He stared at Chen Xiaoqiang and joked:

"I hope to reach the final this time is 50%. As for you, Xiaoqiang, I feel that you can reach 30%. How can you meet such a probability in the final? So I said, we can only find opportunities to practice in the future."

In such jokes, the group quickly arrived at the stadium. Since they had already become civil war, they didn't talk about it and finished the routine. The first game of Sanchang Chess began soon.

By guessing first, Chang Hao played black in the first game in the ninth dan, which made Li Xiangping feel a little better----

The "Chunlan Cup" enforces Chinese rules, and the black side should post more than the Japanese and Korean rules.

It was not beyond Li Xiangping's expectations. Nowadays, since everyone is learning dog tricks, their advantages in the sequel stage are no longer that great, especially those top chess players who are good at layout, such as Gu Dali, and today's Chang Hao, it may be even more difficult to gain obvious advantages in the layout stage.

For example, today, the competition just started, there were only 20 pieces on the board, and the opponent's 21st move directly stopped Li Xiangping.

This is a step that looks a bit weird. On the surface, it looks like a "subdivided"; no, it is not on the surface. In fact, Chang Jiudan is the next step of "subdivided".

However, his "segment shot" obviously seemed to be in a position, and it seemed to be a missed shot.

To have the most vivid impression of today's situation, you can compare the famous "Nine-Three Points" among the ancient chess.

Chess fans who like medieval chess know that "Nine Three Points" is simply the standard configuration for medieval chess in the later period, and it is also the most popular and most popular trick for Li Xiangping's plug-in.

He has a famous saying: The enemy has no big blocks or three-point destruction, and the layout is the most mellow. The "nine three-point destruction" of the middle-aged chess is actually based on this theoretical basis, because on the basis of having a "seat", once this chess is played, not only can it "disassemble two" on both sides, but it plays a role in breaking up the situation, and it also does not allow the opponent to "disassemble three".

Chang Jiudan's move is not like this today. He directly scored in the "83" position or the "13" position, which obviously seemed to deviate all the way.

Before this, Li Xiangping rarely saw any chess player playing like this, but today, when he saw Chang Hao taking such a strange step, he did not think that his opponent was on a whim, especially when he combined the current situation and predicted the subsequent move, he quickly realized that this might be a good chess step.

This move reflects Chang Jiudan’s new understanding of Go after learning dog tricks.

This move also reflects Chang Jiudan's profound layout skills.

To understand what is good about his chess game, let’s take a look at the next actual combat process. As long as you see his subsequent tricks, you will soon understand the wonderful taste of the chess game.

First of all, Li Xiangping is not suitable for taking advantage of such a chess move, because such a split is not considered a "contact". It is not a "disassembly" with similar values ​​on both sides, but can "disassembly three" while only "disassembly one".

Then, it is basically difficult to get ahead when facing such chess. If the two sides are of similar value, Li Xiangping's choice will be calmer. He can decide which side he is forced to based on the subsequent situation.

But now the values ​​of the two sides are obviously not equal, so Li Xiangping has no choice but to pick the wider side first to force him to stop him.

In fact, Li Xiangping did play this way in the future, and he didn't spend much time playing it like this. He knew that his opponent had a lot of ideas about this move, so he could only play this way now.

Black 21 is the "Eight Three", while White 22 is directly at the "Ten and Three" position, forcing the chess piece from the wider side, which is almost the only move in the current situation.

Seeing Li Xiangping like this, this was obviously within Chang Jiuduan's expectations, so his black 23 made a quick move: at the position of "ten and two", he now "supported" the second way.

This move is a bit like a hand tendon, but it actually has a bit of a "test" meaning.

Faced with his chess move, Li Xiangping actually didn't have many choices. First of all, he couldn't "retreat". This method was too relaxed and even suspected of showing weakness.

Secondly, it is not suitable for "inner board" in the current situation------

You should know that on the side where Chang Hao scored, since both corners were white pieces, in the beginning, this area was considered the sphere of influence of the white chess. This "inner pull" method is easily borrowed by the opponent and easily abandoned a piece to plastic surgery, so as to achieve the purpose of maneuvering. Therefore, in the current situation, the "inner board" method cannot be considered.

Since you cannot "retreat" and you cannot "super" the vulgar one's hands, you cannot "pull inwardly". In this way, Li Xiangping is actually the only way to "pull outwardly".

In actual combat, Li Xiangping did this, and his Bai 24 didn't take time and took action in almost a second.

Of course, this was also in Chang Hao's expectation. The key was his next move. At this time, he did not choose to "break out one", but instead took a step to "two-way flying" and missed a move in the "four and two" position of the chessboard.

Facing his chess move, Li Xiangping thought about it for a few minutes.

At this time, he continued his previous ideas. Considering that in this area, he originally belonged to his own sphere of influence, he chose the most just way of decree: "Reading to the Sword of the Sword of the Sword".

The purpose of his chess game is actually to wait and see, because in Go competitions, there is a very important principle when fighting within his own sphere of influence, that is, he cannot leave too many opportunities to borrow from his opponents.

Li Xiangping's "returning to the stern and three" approach is precisely in line with this principle.

Next, Chang Hao steadily "retreat" and built seven small fortresses within the sphere of influence of the White Chess.

Facing his chess move, Li Xiangping still couldn't take it first, otherwise he would break his chess shape and his original sphere of influence would immediately disappear. So he honestly took a step to "fall the tiger" and filled in the flaws in his chess shape.

After these four rounds, the partial breakup caused by Chang Jiudan's strange split throw came to an end temporarily. From the perspective of Black Chess, through the previous four rounds, Black Chess first built a small fortress in the opponent's sphere of influence, and this is a living figure, and there is basically no life-and-death problem, so it is basically satisfactory.

Standing at the perspective of Li Xiangping's white chess, although he was a backhand, considering the opponent's 4 moves just now, there were 3 moves on the second way of the chessboard------

Don’t forget that the overall game is only more than 20 moves. At such an early time, the opponent has so many moves to make low positions. This is of course what Li Xiangping is satisfied with.

Since both sides are satisfied, the local change can basically be considered a "two-point" method, and even from the perspective of mesh count, it can also be considered that Li Xiangping's white chess has taken a little advantage.

It’s a pity that Go is like this. Local cheapness never means overall cheapness. Don’t forget that the first move now falls into Chang Hao’s hands. The reason why he did this just now was largely for this first move.

The change just now appeared on the left side of the chessboard. After Li Xiangping "falls over the tiger", Chang Hao quickly turned to the right and started: "Steam in"!

Faced with a "super flying" chess shape of the White Chess, Chang Jiudan took a very strict "in" step.

Seeing his chess move, Li Xiangping couldn't help but slightly brows----

To be honest, the "super flying" on his right is also a common chess shape, and Chang Hao's "stumble" step is also common. There was nothing to be afraid of, but if combined with the chess shape on the left, Li Xiangping already knew what the opponent wanted to do and also knew the severity of the opponent's move.

After the black chess "in", since the attack and defense in this area were white chess, and black chess was considered the offensive side, so the choice was on the black chess player.

In the right area, there are two main options for black chess. One is relatively peaceful, he can only take a little advantage, while the other is more fierce. Black chess can start a disaster in a local area, trying to use the disaster to break the white chess into a crack.

Chang Jiuduan did not hesitate, and directly chose a relatively fierce trick. He threw away the disaster in part and invited Li Xiangping to fight.

After calculating the subsequent changes, Li Xiangping's brows became tighter, and he realized once again that his layout could be lagging behind again.

Because he could not escape from his opponent's invitation, and secondly, he had no choice now.

You should know that the overall game is only 30 games, and there is a saying in Go, which is called "the first chess will not have a catastrophe". So when facing the black chess, Li Xiangping's first step must be taken, of course, to create the catastrophe.

Considering that the value of this robbery is actually quite great, at this time, Li Xiangping only needs to create a robbery material.

The most suitable place for creating robbery materials in the current situation is the four pieces on the left of the black chess.

In fact, Li Xiangping did play this way. Before he started the catastrophe, he took a step to "flying" and his intention of this move: Since you want to make my right side into a "break shape", then I will also make your left side into a "break shape".

Chang Jiuduan first responded, and then the two sides started a robbery.

The robbery lasted for a short time. When Li Xiangping just found the first robbery material, which was the robbery material that he had just made, his opponent disappeared.

So when the game was about 37 moves, the two sides formed a transition, and the black chess made a large piece on the right side of the white chess into a crack, while Li Xiangping's white chess made a piece on the left side of the black chess into a crack.

So who suffered a loss in this conversion? Li Xiangping knew very well that he should have suffered a small loss this time.

Although on the surface, each of the two sides controlled a big edge, as if no one was at a loss, don't forget that 3 of the 4 pieces of the black chess just now were all on the second road.

In other words, even if Li Xiangping ate all the four pieces, it would only be from the second to third lines, but the few pieces on his right side were all from the third lines or even the fourth lines.

It's obvious that I'm eaten bigger.

So the conversion just now is obviously because I suffered a small loss.

"Oh~~ It's true that today is different now. Since you have learned the tricks of dogs, it's becoming increasingly difficult to take advantage of the order of the market..." -------

Li Xiangping cannot be blamed for thinking this way. In fact, the example just now is a clear proof.

Starting from Chang Jiuduan's slightly weird "segment" step just now, Li Xiangping can actually understand every move, and his response is basically correct, and he is just enough to be just.

Even shortly after seeing Hei 21, he had a premonition that such a result would occur, but he had no choice but to follow his opponent's ideas step by step.

This is the layout in Go.

A master with a powerful layout actually doesn't need any tricks at all. He just has some methods that everyone can understand, and then unknowingly takes the lead in the situation.

In recent years, Li Xiangping has had quite a few games, but in fact he has taken the lead without realizing it. However, today, he has lagged behind in the same way.

It was still good, after all, it was still early now, and today's backwardness was not a big loss. Li Xiangping himself judged that he was just a little behind, and it was still very early to decide the outcome.

Li Xiangping cheered up and he was ready to deal with his opponent slowly.
