At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Shi made an unexpected move that surprised him, which also prompted him to think carefully again. After thinking about it, he really saw the problem. When he discovered Li Shishi's hidden method,

Li Xiangping broke out in a cold sweat and once again lamented that his plug-in was indeed worthy of the words "cautious and rigorous".

What did Li Xiangping see?

Let’s reorganize the current situation. Since we have now entered the official stage, Li Xiangping’s calculations just now were mainly focused on calculating the value of the official.

There are currently two most valuable officials on the chessboard. In Li Xiangping's previous calculations, he believed that no matter which one White takes first, it seems to be almost the same, because the value of these two officials is over 10 pieces.

There may be a certain official piece among them that is slightly more valuable, but when White is so far ahead, which one is collected first will not affect the outcome.

However, Li Xiangping now discovered that when Lao Shi made the "single-piece calamity" move, it seemed that it was really inappropriate for White to take the chess first, because the situation in this game was a bit special. No matter which chess White took first,

, then when black grabs another official piece, it can actually induce black's absolute initiative.

The absolute initiative induced by this move is a "cut off" move. Black can actually cut off a piece of white's chess piece first after collecting the official pieces.

This step of "cutting off" is quite severe, because the white chess piece that was cut off is related to the flower that was captured by black chess piece before. It is part of the white chess piece's encirclement, and after this piece of chess piece is cut off, it itself is

Li Xiangping took a look and found that this chess piece could produce at most one real eye, and it was also a backhand eye.

Having described so much, I believe that any chess fan with some basic knowledge should know the severity of this "cut off", right?

Yes, once Li Shishi fulfills this cut off, then the legendary "Qi Kill" in Go will appear in this game. In other words, if White wants to capture the previous flower, it must make one move in the end.

Take a tight step until the pieces are completely lifted off the chessboard.

Such a result is of course unbearable for White. Let’s not discuss here the issue of whether White can kill and win. Even if White can kill and win, it will actually be unbearable for White just because of “killing with energy”.

, because taking a breath is equivalent to filling out one's own chess piece, but the eaten flower has a very long outer breath. Li Xiangping took a simple look, and it seemed that there were still six or seven breaths left...

..

This alone is not the most serious thing. What is even more serious is that the black piece that was captured is a "flower", which means that someone can still make a real eye here.

So once Li Shishi fulfills the "cut off", and then he frees up his hand to make a real eye, then White will not even have a chance to "collect his energy to kill" ----- Anyone who has played Go knows that in '

When there is a lot of public energy, if each person has a true eye, it will be a standard "double-active" chess pattern.

Therefore, it is completely conceivable that White will never allow this situation to occur. Unfortunately, in order to eat and hold the flower, White spent so much effort in the front and took so many precautions in the future, but it is easy to eat.

At the end of the day, you may be "double-lived" by others, so of course there is nothing to say about this game of chess, and you will definitely lose.

It was precisely because he saw this hidden "cutting off" method that Li Xiangping understood why Lao Shi wanted to take that single-piece tribulation, and also understood why he said: This tribulation was the biggest on the chessboard so far.

Because once this single-piece tribulation is won, White's encirclement can ensure complete connectivity, and once White's encirclement is fully connected, it will actually prevent Black's "Qi Kill" or "Double Live" methods, allowing him to

That covert "cutting off" method becomes meaningless.

It is also for this reason that it is easy to understand why Li Shishi frowned unnoticeably when he saw Li Xiangping take this step to open a single tribulation.

Because when he saw his opponent playing this move at this time, he knew that his opponent had seen the hidden "cutting off" method. And this method was actually the final offensive planned by him. Li Shishi originally had high hopes for this method.

Now that his opponent had seen through it, Li Shishi felt a sense of despair about this game for the first time.

However, despair turned into despair, and the calamity still had to be fought. Li Shishi mustered up his last energy and began to fight with Li Xiangping.

Different from Li Shishi's despair, when the chess players in the viewing room saw Li Xiangping suddenly going to play the "single piece robbery", many people, like Li Xiangping, did not discover the hidden cutting method of black chess at the first time.

.

Especially Lao Nie. When he saw the latest chess score, he almost jumped up immediately:

"Ah! What's next? Isn't Li Xiangping nervous when fighting the general? But even if he is fighting the general... this seems to be a fake general. Inexplicable, inexplicable, this Li Xiangping, what exactly did he do?

What nerves..."

I really can’t blame Lao Nie for being so impatient today. Not to mention that he is confused if he cares about it, and his calculation power is not as good as before. You must know that it is already past 4 o’clock in the afternoon, so all the games are almost over.

The winner has been decided, and the current situation of Chinese chess players has indeed made Lao Nie anxious and angry.

There were Chinese chess players in today's eight games. There was nothing to say about the civil war. Apart from Chang Hao's obvious advantage, most of the remaining seven games were disadvantaged by Chinese players. Several of them had already been defeated.

Lao Nie sentenced him to death.

There are only two games where the situation is slightly better, one is Ma Xiaofei VS Zhang Xu, and the other is Li Xiangping's game. However, at this time, after Lao Nie's judgment, Ma Xiaofei still has a slight advantage in that game.

Yes, but he was a little loose in the second half of the set and was already being caught up by his opponent quite a bit.

After all, Ma Xiao is considered an old comrade. It is normal for him to relax a little in the second half of the game, but that little guy Li Xiangping, he actually lost his temper at such a critical moment...

Of course, it's no wonder that Lao Nie got angry.

However, around 4:30 in the afternoon, Black's hidden cutting method was finally discovered. Interestingly, the first person to discover this method was not a spectator, but a participating player, Gu Dali.

At around 4:20 in the afternoon, he was defeated by Li Canghao, and continued to wear the "Gu Lun" hat to the viewing room. For Gu Dali, in the remaining chess games that have not yet ended, he is undoubtedly most concerned about

It's the competition of his good friend Lee Sedol.

Gu Dali and Li Shishi were born in the same year. One of their birthdays is February 3rd and the other is March 2nd. Therefore, Gu Dali once jokingly said that the two of them have "horoscopes that are incompatible with each other". It is precisely for this reason that

He was the first to discover Lee Sedol's last conspiracy.

"Tsk, tsk, I have to say that this kid from Xiangping is very careful, unlike you, Gu Dali, who is so fussy at chess, ah! Look at you, what kind of chess are you playing today..."

Naturally, even if Li Shishi's conspiracy was discovered, Gu Dali did not get any favors, and he was even reprimanded by Lao Nie for it.

After reprimanding Gu Dali, Lao Nie once again focused his attention on the chess game. After all, although he had seen through Li Shishi's conspiracy, there was still another calamity, and from a certain perspective, this calamity was "white over black."

"Light", it doesn't matter if Li Shishi loses this single-piece tribulation, but if Li Xiangping loses, problems are likely to arise. Therefore, in Lao Nie's view, it is not the time to relax completely.

This tribulation was very lively for both sides, with many rounds and a relatively long duration. Until close to 5 pm, the overall situation had passed 200 moves. By this time, the overall situation finally became clear. White's

Victory is a foregone conclusion!

At this time, Lao Nie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sighed at this time:

"Fortunately, Xiangping's child's problem was discovered early, and he had sufficient capital before."

Yes! Lao Nie’s words point out the key to White’s final victory.

Since there is a problem of "white is more important than black" in this robbery, White must make some concessions during the robbery, which is actually unavoidable. In this case, White's previous "strong capital" will be

The key is important, which means that White has the capital to make concessions.

The actual progress of today's game of chess was like this. Around 5:00 in the afternoon, Lao Shi used up the last remaining time. He instructed Li Xiangping to make a move - this was a "single official" move, which was done in his own time.

In terms of the number of moves, this move is not only worthless, it even damages one move.

However, this was the decisive move. In fact, after Li Shishi saw this move, he was no longer in the mood to continue. He sat in his seat for half a minute, as if arranging his hair, and then

Twist two chess pieces and put them on the chessboard, indicating that you will admit defeat in the middle game.

Because the move played by Lao Shi just now was actually a move to eliminate calamity. During the long process of calamity just now, Li Shishi had already asked the white chess piece to make a real eye in order not to lose the number of eyes, and Lao Shi

The chess move just now was actually a "eye-breaking" move, which prevented Black's plucked flower from making a real eye.

In this way, there is no need to continue this calamity battle, because today's game of chess has formed the classic "eyes kill blinds", and black has no resistance.

Although White has already made a concession in this process, Li Shishi has clearly seen that not only him, but also Li Xiangping has seen clearly that after Lao Shi's move, Black's board size will only be 3 to 4 more

In other words, even if Li Shishi persisted to the end, he would still lose 3.5 to 4.5 goals.

In professional competitions, such a gap is certainly huge, so Li Shishi was not in the mood to continue, so he chose to throw in the towel and admit defeat at that time.

The moment Li Shishi surrendered, Li Xiangping once again reached the quarterfinals of the World Series!

"Tsk tsk, Boss Jueyi is still awesome."

After the game, Li Xiangping was in a happy mood when he listened to Gu Dali's somewhat envious and complimentary words. He even pretended to pat Gu Dali on the shoulder:
Chapter completed!
