On November 5th, the Samsung Cup finals officially started.
Compared with other competitions, this competition is particularly eye-catching. One side is a young genius, and the other side is a long-established and strong player.
Fortunately, Go matches require a quiet environment, otherwise the competition room would be crowded with people.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the game officially started. According to the previous draw, Yu Xiaoyang played black in the first game.
Although holding black has to bear the responsibility of five and a half eyes, for top chess players, holding black still has the first-mover advantage.
Especially Yu Xiaoyang, what he is best at is layout. Looking at the past record, Yu Xiaoyang's winning rate is as high as 75.66% when he plays black first.
Anyone who knows Go knows how terrifying this number is.
In the viewing room.
Looking at the broadcast footage uploaded on the screen, Lao Nie sighed.
"The situation is not good, Yu Xiaoyang actually drew the black chess piece."
At this moment, the chess players in the viewing room were all Chinese, and they all knew Yu Xiaoyang’s terrifying winning rate. As soon as Old Nie’s words came out, there were several more sighs in the room.
Zhao Bingfeng looked around and found that the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit wrong. Everyone didn't seem to think highly of 'Xiao Du'?
If others don’t know the strength of ‘Xiao Du’, how can he not?
After all, he was killed by "Xiao Du" a few days ago, and he was also the one who took the lead.
how?
In your eyes, Yu Xiaoyang is so powerful, why don’t I, Zhao Bingfeng, have no face?
"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. Xiao Du is not an ordinary person. Even if he travels all over the world, he is still a special one."
As he was talking, Zhao Bingfeng glanced at the TV and then let out a light "Eh"
"Huh?"
What did he see?
Yu Xiaoyang actually used point three-three in his fifth move.
If I remember correctly, ‘Xiao Du’ is the founder of Dian San San. What does Yu Xiaoyang want to do?
provocative?
Unlikely, with Yu Xiaoyang's temperament that is as steady as an old dog, he is basically not likely to take the initiative to provoke disputes.
Could it be that he wanted to recreate the game of chess played by 'Chu Ying' and 'Xiao Du' on Yicheng Online?
If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.
'Xiao Du' has been out for so long, but he only lost that game.
Therefore, any chess player who is interested in challenging "Xiao Du" will carefully review the game that day, hoping to find the magic weapon to defeat "Xiao Du".
Before the Samsung Cup started, Zhao Bingfeng also did this, but unfortunately the result was not satisfactory.
Perhaps, Yu Xiaoyang found the weakness of 'Xiao Du' through that game of chess?
After thinking about it, Zhao Bingfeng could only think of this reason.
However, whether the facts are as he guessed, the answer will probably be revealed soon.
‘One point thirty-three?’
In the game room, Li Jie raised his head and glanced at Yu Xiaoyang who was calm and composed. He was indeed a little surprised by this opening point of three and three.
Because this is a bit inconsistent with the Yu Xiaoyang he has studied. In his eyes, Yu Xiaoyang is a chess player who has a strong overall view, layout ability, game reading ability, and ability to seize opportunities.
However, Yu Xiaoyang is not without weaknesses. Compared with his advantages, his computing ability is not very outstanding.
Of course, this lack of prominence is relative. Even if Yu Xiaoyang's calculation ability is not strong enough, it is still better than most professional ninth-dan.
'It's really strange.'
‘Don’t Yu Xiaoyang know that he rules the roost with his calculation power?’
'It's probably unlikely. The day before yesterday, he said in the car that he was looking forward to today's game.'
'In this case, he must have studied his own chess style.'
'But, since he has studied it, why did he start with point 33? Instead of using the Chinese style he is most familiar with?'
'With Yu Xiaoyang's level, it is impossible not to know how complicated the subsequent changes in Dian Sansan are.'
'And it's so complicated that no plan can be made in advance. Once you use 1.33, the subsequent layout will depend on computing power.'
'And computing power happens to be Yu Xiaoyang's shortcoming. It's impossible for a chess player of his level to understand how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.'
'If he insists on starting with point 33, isn't he comparing his shortcomings with his own strengths?'
After thinking for a long time, Li Jie could not figure out what Yu Xiaoyang was thinking.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Time passed slowly, and Li Jie still failed to make a move. To outsiders, it was obvious that he was stuck in the long exam.
A long exam at the beginning is not good news.
Observation room.
Looking at the almost forbidden picture on the screen, Lao Nie couldn't help but wonder.
"Eh? What's going on, Xiao Du? It's been about ten minutes, why haven't you figured out the next step?"
In Lao Nie's opinion, this is very unreasonable.
This is not the first time that point 33 has appeared in professional competitions. Since the advent of point 33, countless chess players have begun to study this formula.
Although no one can match 'Xiao Du''s accomplishments in point 33, others have figured out how to deal with point 33.
Therefore, Lao Nie was very confused. Even he, a second-tier chess player, knew how to deal with this move. How could Xiao Du, who pioneered the point three three formula, not understand?
The team leader, Director Ma, thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone.
"Well, maybe Yu Xiaoyang put too much pressure on him."
"Maybe."
Lao Nie sighed and nodded. Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other reason.
On the other side, boundless doubts also arose in Zhao Bingfeng's heart, but he did not participate in the discussion.
Game room.
After a ten-minute test, Li Jie finally came up with a solution.
Sixteen-three, Tuo.
He had a decent hand, and he did not use any of the fancy tricks of later generations, because it was unnecessary.
The reason why point three three has reached the peak of human chess players' knowledge is entirely because dogs like this move.
Why do dogs like this trick?
Because dogs have powerful computing power, in the eyes of dogs, the two sides are evenly matched after point three and three, but for humans, compared with the actual situation, the unpredictable external situation is always a bit difficult to grasp, so point three and three
Only then did it become popular.
Later on, professional chess players almost always clicked, because if they didn't click, they always felt that their own side would suffer a loss.
Seventeen-four, block.
Yu Xiaoyang was obviously prepared. He responded without hesitation almost as soon as Li Jie made the move.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Soon, the two sides started to compete in the upper left corner. Until the 12th move, Li Jie suddenly changed the battlefield and clicked the three three in the upper right corner of black's piece.
The reason why the battlefield was moved was because Li Jie found that he could no longer be led by Yu Xiaoyang, and he had to seize the initiative from the other party!
this point is very important!
Facing Li Jie's sudden change of tactics, Yu Xiaoyang looked very calm, as if he had expected it.
