Chapter 234 Straight to the Heart
At 12 noon, Korean time, Li Xiangping had just lost his 42nd move in the overall situation, and it was already the period of the noon lockdown.
Playing more than 40 moves in the morning is a very normal despise rate these days. To be honest, in such a game with sufficient time, it will not cause controversy like "tips".
Take today's game of chess for example. Now there are only less than 50 games. In a Go game, this is mostly in the transition stage from the order to the middle game. At such a stage, the "tips" of others are actually not very useful, because at this time, the importance of conception may be greater than the specific calculation. When encountering such a game, the "tips" are actually not very useful. If others say too much, it may disrupt the opponent's own ideas.
However, it will be different when the time spent in later generations is shortened. For example, two years in real history, the "Samsung Cup" was the first to change it to a fixed time of 2 hours per side. In this competition system, it would be impossible to slow down the chess player. It would be normal to have to play 70 or 80 or even hundreds of hands in the morning.
Then in such a game, you have to be prepared for "suggestions".
Because during this period, it is usually a period of fierce mid-set battles, if outsiders find a skilled move or remind the opponent to make up for an important loophole, it may have a decisive impact on a set of games.
It is precisely because of this reason that in later generations, almost all professional Go competitions have cancelled their lunch breaks. Li Xiangping personally believes that this is not because the quality of the players has deteriorated or "human hearts are not as good as ever". The blame may still require "fast chess in the game".
After all, in real history, controversies like "tips" basically occur after shortening the time spent on the game. For example, Luo Xihe and Gu Dali in China, and "Cui Du" and Lee Sedol in South Korea, have all been involved in similar controversies.
In today's days, of course, there are not so many bullshits. And who is playing today? This is Li Xiangping and Li Canghao. In the eyes of outsiders, this is definitely the peak showdown in the chess world today. It is a de facto battle between the number one player in the chess world today. So in this case, who is so shameless and dares to give these two tips?
Therefore, in this case, during the one-hour break at noon, Li Xiangping can contact other members of the Chinese delegation, and the South Korean side does not shy away. They will not worry that Lao Nie and others will give Li Xiangping advice, just as Li Xiangping is not worried that Lao Cao and Liu will give Li Canghao a suggestion.
In fact, during the lunch break, Li Xiangping was indeed staying with other members of the Chinese delegation, everyone had lunch together, and even shared their thoughts on the morning competition.
"Xiangping, I'll tell you, it's best not to eat so much at this time..."
"Yeah, I know, I know, I know..."
While Li Xiangping continued to feast on his stomach, he disagreed with Lao Nie's words. Participating in the afternoon competition while hungry is a tradition that Lao Nie developed since the stage competition. According to Lao Nie's theory, if you eat too much at noon, it will affect the brain's insufficient blood supply and in turn affect the afternoon competition. Therefore, since the Sino-Japanese Go competition, Lao Nie did not eat lunch at noon, but just ate some fruit to satisfy his hunger.
Of course, it is easy to understand Li Xiangping's disapproval. He thought to himself that I am not you, I do not have congenital heart disease, and what age am I now? I am less than 16 years old and I am in my prime. If I don't eat more at this time, I will not faint because of overthinking, but first of all, I may faint from hunger.
"Is the morning competition okay? Do you feel okay?"
"Well, I feel it's okay, what does Teacher Nie think?"
"Haha, I think it's okay, it's not bad, you have a good morning, and keep working hard in the afternoon..."
Yes, this is the communication between Li Xiangping and others at noon. In fact, most of the time, the communication between the contestants and others is limited to this. Because at this time, even if Lao Nie feels that there is a problem with Li Xiangping's method, he is unlikely to say it at this time. More importantly, even if Lao Nie really says it, Li Xiangping may not listen.
Of course, Li Xiangping is not an ordinary person. He is a time traveler and a time traveler with plug-ins. Therefore, in addition to communicating with outsiders, he can also communicate with his own plug-ins.
At 12:30 noon, someone else had dinner with Li Xiangping, so everyone would not disturb him and let him accumulate energy and prepare for the afternoon game.
Maybe because I did eat too much at noon, Li Xiangping felt that half an hour was too long, so he complained and started chatting with him:
"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, how do you think I was doing in the morning?"
"Excellent! Ding'an thinks that the guy from Xiangping is very good..."
Li Xiangping's face turned dark: "Brother Ding'an, tell me the truth."
They have been together for more than two years, and Li Xiangping now knows what kind of urinary nature of this plug-in is. Anyway, for people like Lao Shi, if you don’t compete with him, he will not tell the truth to you. He only knows how to flatter Li Xiangping, the “host”.
It's okay to just flatter, but Lao Shi can't even flatter. After tossing and turning, it's always like this. One is that you "play very well", and whether you win or lose, it's "excellent". The second is that Li Xiangping is "extremely talented" and can compete with Huang Longshi and Fan Xiping, which is far beyond his own existence.
Well, when he heard this for the first time, Li Xiangping was very happy, but Li Xiangping had been listening to it for more than two years now, and his ears were almost heard. So he certainly heard some experience now. If he wanted to hear Lao Shi's truth, he had to force him with a black face.
"My friend Xiangping really wants to hear me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, have you not said it yourself? Your zither embroidered girl once told you that as long as you don't involve specific moves and only talk about your own feelings, it is not a foul, and it is not within the fifteenth limit, so you can talk now."
"Okay, I think... I think your morning choice seems a bit inappropriate, and you may be afraid before the battle... By the way, use a word you often say, change the tone! I feel that your morning chess is a bit change the tone."
"What?! You actually said I changed my tune. Brother Ding'an, please tell me clearly, where did I change my tune!"
So if you think about it, you will find that it is difficult for Lao Shi to be a human being. If you only flatter, Li Xiangping, the "host", is unwilling to do so. But if you really want to tell the truth, Li Xiangping is even more likely to jump up.
"My friend Xiangping, let me ask you, why didn't you take that step to "sharp" in the morning?"
"Hmm? Do Brother Ding'an thinks that my actual combat method is not good? This... I remember we have also discussed before that using "three consecutive stars" to deal with "Xing Wuyou" is also reasonable in terms of chess theory, and this kind of response is also very powerful..."
After traveling through time for more than two years, Li Xiangping would of course discuss chess theory with his plug-in. Take this "Star, Wuyoujiao" as an example. More than a year ago, this routine was the absolute mainstream of the world chess world and one of the most common layout types in the world competition. So for such things, Li Xiangping would of course study them with Lao Shi, and this kind of research is not ordinary and general. Li Xiangping believes that it is a more in-depth research.
For example, the "three-in-one star" that Li Xiangping chose today. Although most of the time, the "three-in-one star" behind the back is actually more taboo, and the back-end will always give people a step slower feeling.
The most typical example of this is Mr. Masaki Wugong back then. His "cosmic flow" is famous. The "three-in-one star" is almost his signature. However, when he is holding white, he rarely sees him like this. Therefore, the Wugong who holds white is also called "natural flow". Even from statistics, the winning rate of the "natural flow" of Wugong is even greater than that of his signature "cosmic flow".
However, the above is just ordinary chess theory or general chess theory. If the black side plays a layout type of "star, worry-free corner", then the white "three consecutive stars" are considered to be a very good response.
There is no reason, because the layout of "Star, Wuyoujiao" is slow. Because it takes two steps to defend a "Wuyoujiao", such a layout can only be called "balance", rather than the "speed type".
"Three-Single Star" is a typical "speed type".
In modern Go, "layout speed" has always been emphasized. Basically, in the later Go era, this has not changed at all.
It is also for this reason that using the "three consecutive stars" to fight against "Star Wuyou" is considered a very powerful method.
It's the kind of powerful move that is completely in line with the principles of chess!
"Brother Ding'an, please tell me clearly. You must tell me clearly today. Why do you dare to say that I have changed my tune now? By the way, what did you say just now that I was afraid before the fight? It's really inexplicable and unaware of what I said."
"Hehe, my friend Xiangping, I don't want to tell you about chess reason now..."
Before Lao Shi finished speaking, Li Xiangping became excited again: "Hehe, Brother Ding'an, you, who has learned this? If I say this, you just say that. If the chess reason makes sense, you will not talk about chess reason with me. That's fine, why would you tell me what you didn't talk about chess reason?"
"I'm going to tell you my true intentions! Xiangping friend, ask yourself, was it really out of chess and chess that you chose to play like this without making the "sharp" you are most familiar with?"
"this......."
Li Xiangping couldn't speak anymore, and there were no outsiders here, so at this time, Li Xiangping could of course really "ask yourself".
Once you really "ask yourself", Li Xiangping will certainly know that choosing such a method is not just about considering the principle of chess.
The real situation is this: Li Xiangping was actually a little surprised when he saw Li Canghao put out the "Star, Worry-free Corner" at the first time. He didn't expect that Li would use such a retro routine in such an important first game.
You know, he lost to Lao Shi several sets using this routine.
It must be admitted that when Li Xiangping saw this "Star, Wuyoujiao", he actually wanted to "sharply" step.
However, just as he was about to make a move, he quickly hesitated.
Because he thought at that time, since Da Li dared to do this today, he must have been well prepared for this step of "sharp" step. It's not much to just prepare well. Maybe there is any new research waiting for him later.
So in this way, since the opponent was "unexpected", Li Xiangping also decided to "unexpectedly".
So in this way, we have the current backup "Three Stars".
"Are I really changing my tone? Is it what Lao Shi said to be timid before the fight..."
