Chapter 342: Against the Wind
It was nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the overall situation was less than 70 moves. Li Xiangping's good mood at noon had disappeared.
Yes, it has indeed disappeared.
And all of this is because of the chess move that the opponent just fell.
This is the 68th move in this game. It is a strong local player and a good move. The most important thing is: this move is completely outside the calculation path before Li Xiangping. It is a kind of move that the opponent has calculated or even made, but is completely ignored by Li Xiangping.
"I'm so careless, I'm actually hiding this trick here..."
However, Li Xiangping could not deceive himself. He knew that today's chess was not really "careless", but that the opponent was really playing a strong player beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, Li Xiangping has been trained now, especially in the "Fujitsu Cup" final not long ago, his ability to resist strikes has been greatly enhanced-----
In that game, he encountered an "accident" of his serious mistakes, but in this game, he encountered an "accident" of his opponent's sudden chess player. Although these two types of accidents are different in nature, they are actually the same in essence for a professional game.
It is precisely because he has more experience than ordinary people that his growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary people. For example, today, Li Xiangping quickly calmed down and began to think about his next countermeasures.
If you want to find a solution, the first thing you need to do is of course analyze and judge the current situation as soon as possible.
"Tsk tsk, this guy's nickname is "Fist", it seems that it makes sense. He swung his fist, as if... the overall offense and defense have been reversed..."
That’s right, when Li Xiangping began to calmly analyze the current situation, he quickly captured the first keyword, and this keyword is of course: offense and defense reversal, and the overall offense and defense have been reversed!
Before the 68th game, the main tone of this game was that Li Xiangping's black chess attacked, while the opponent's white chess was defending. This main tone was actually established at noon, because at that time, Li Xiangping was still feeling good about himself. He felt that the opponent's morning play was a bit too much, at least it was a bit too strong. If you take him accountable, you would be sorry for your current huge reputation.
However, Li Xiangping forgot that he believed that many opponents were using strong chess, and some of his morning tricks might be "inappropriate". However, in Go, as the attacking side, that is the time to pay more attention to the attack.
If the attack conditions are not yet mature and the timing of your attack is wrong, the attack effect will definitely be counterproductive.
Just now, when Li Xiangping saw his opponent's 68th move, he immediately realized this problem:
Because the opponent has this good skill, he may have been too hasty in his attacks during this period.
This chess not only prevented his own attack, but also cleverly established a connection between the two seemingly weak dragons in the White chess, but more importantly, the position of this chess piece seems to be the legendary "key point of shape". Since this position was snatched away by the White chess, it is nothing at all, but if you look closely, the black chess itself suddenly becomes uneasy.
So the offensive reversed!
At this time, the offense and defense reversal occurred, and the problem was actually very serious. Because a while ago, the attack of the Black Chess did not achieve any substantial results, so in this case, the reversal would of course mean that the Black Chess' previous battle failed.
Since the battle has failed, there is no need to think about it. The situation of Black Chess must have fallen into a disadvantage.
What should I do next? At around 2 pm, Li Xiangping's hand stopped and he began to think nervously about his countermeasures.
While Li Xiangping was looking for a countermeasure, the viewing room next door began to become active. Of course, compared to the Chinese lineup, the Korean lineup is more active this time.
Today's Korean research lineup is centered on Lao Cao ----
Now Lao Cao is also a person who is preparing to play "Happy Go". For example, this time, Lao Cao failed to enter the top 16.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk Cao's predictions are indeed amazing. Li Xiangping has indeed had problems with the new model he created himself. So can we say that Sheng Zhen has a great hope of winning the game?"
The person who said this was a Korean Go reporter. He first praised Lao Cao and then asked everyone's most concerned questions, at least the most concerned issue in the entire Korean chess world at present.
It must be admitted that although most Koreans give people the impression that they are more arrogant and have a so-called "confidence of confusion" and "confidence of confusion", those who play Go must not be that superficial. After listening to the Korean reporter's inquiry, Lao Cao smiled and replied:
"Well, so far, we can think that Sheng Zhen has played very well. Not only has he fully demonstrated his strengths, but objectively the situation has also taken advantage of it. But it may be too early to say that he has already won it now. Not to mention that it is less than 70 moves now, I think just with the name Li Xiangping, everyone may not dare to be optimistic too early."
Lao Cao's words suddenly made everyone around him speechless. Indeed, at this time, the name Li Xiangping is simply a nightmare in the entire Korean Go world. So facing such a person, of course, everyone is not allowed to be optimistic too early.
Maybe seeing the atmosphere around me was too dull, Lao Cao suddenly changed the topic:
"But then again, Sheng Qin's situation has already dominated, but this is an objective fact. This fact will not change because the opponent is Li Xiangping. Therefore, it is appropriate to say "the situation of white chess is expected." As for whether Sheng Qin can win, it depends on two points now. First, Sheng Qin cannot mess up his own position. He must continue to perform at a high level and continue to put pressure on his opponent. Second, it depends on whether Li Xiangping will play against the wind and whether he can come up with any effective method in such adversity. But to be honest, I suddenly found that Li Xiangping rarely plays against the wind and... "
Lao Cao's words successfully diverted everyone's attention. Everyone thought it was really a shame. In everyone's impression, Li Xiangping seemed to rarely play against the wind chess---
This situation is of course normal. After all, Li Xiangping has armed some people with "dog tricks". Compared with the human layout in this era, "dog tricks" are undoubtedly advanced. It is precisely because of this advanced nature that he rarely lags behind in the layout stage.
Since he is not behind in the layout stage, of course he rarely plays against the wind.
One thing that must be mentioned in particular is that in the past, Li Xiangping would also lose chess, but most of them lost because of his lack of skills and being crushed by others in the middle and back game. In this case, even Lao Shi has lost to the most, of course, Li Canghao. Of course, everyone knows that he and Lao Shi rarely have the advantage in the layout stage of the game.
It is precisely because of this reason that Li Xiangping's situation was already much behind in less than 70 moves, which was extremely rare in the past.
It is precisely because of this rare situation that many Koreans on the scene began to be vaguely excited----
Their reaction is normal. Since Li Xiangping rarely encounters situations with chess, does that mean that he is not good at dealing with this situation...
Especially when the latest chess score came, some Koreans were even more excited----
Because in this latest chess record, they did not see any good chess made by Li Xiangping, and there was no such thing as a magical horse. Not only that, there were no tricks that made people "light". In the whole chess record, Li Xiangping seemed to be trying to clean up the mess and try his best to maintain the situation no longer deteriorated.
Many Koreans began to show off their joy, especially the Go reporter who just spoke. However, when he was about to speak again, he found that Lao Cao's expression was different from that of most people.
This reporter seems to have excellent professional qualities because he is very skilled in changing his abilities:
"Cao Guoshou, look at this..."
"Oh! Today I saw another skill of Li Xiangping. I used to know that he was extremely talented and was a Go genius who was unparalleled. However, judging from his performance during this period, he was also a first-class winner and loser. Well, at least he had the temperament of a top winner and loser."
"ah?!"
Facing everyone's confusion, Lao Cao smiled and said, "Friends who like NBA should have heard a saying: offense depends on talent, but defense depends on experience and attitude. In fact, I always thought that this sentence should be appropriate in Go. However, if you want to win in good times, you rely on talent, but if you want to win in bad times, you mainly rely on experience and attitude."
Lao Cao paused for a moment and continued:
"Don't look at Li Xiangping's recent moves seem dull and unremarkable. But in my opinion, this is the attitude you should have under disadvantages, and the most correct attitude. A very experienced and experienced master, a good player who can hold his or her foot in a stable position and endure. Otherwise, what do you want to do in adversity? Are you unsure of the victory and defeat frequently? Or do you realize that you have already had a disadvantage and began to make a rash effort and be eager to achieve success?"
Lao Cao's two rebellious questions made everyone silent. Thinking about it, Li Xiangping's deception was originally the best and most familiar to Koreans.
As for why I say this? Please refer to Li Canghao.
Isn’t Li Xiangping’s trick of waiting patiently for opportunities exactly the same as Li Canghao?
But in the past, Li Canghao often waited for his own opportunities. So what about today? Can Li Xiangping wait for his own opportunities?
It was 2:40 pm. In the game room, Li Xiangping certainly couldn't hear Lao Cao's comments next door, but at this time, he had indeed completely adjusted his condition and began to patiently wait for his own opportunity.
Li Xiangping even believed that this is also one of the charms of human Go. If this chess is played today, then his black chess will basically have no chance.
However, human chess is different. As long as it is a human, you may make mistakes. As long as the opponent may make mistakes, you will of course still have a chance.
