Chapter 93: The Spirit of Medieval Chess

"Hey, Brother Ding'an, what's the meaning of this chess move?!"
At 4:30 p.m., the latest move by the great chess master Shi Da not only caused an uproar in the Chinese Chess Institute, but even a player of Li Xiangping's level was deeply surprised.
So that's how it was. Even though Mr. Shi kept telling him to shut up and not talk during the game, at this moment, Li Xiangping couldn't help but make a sound.
Because at this time, there seems to be a point on the chessboard that everyone is watching. A large-scale offensive and defensive battle lasting more than 100 moves, in the previous stage, it was basically the white chess that attacked and the black chess that defended.
What does this point mean? In fact, it is equivalent to putting a full stop to this large-scale offensive and defensive battle. If Black plays here, then the last isolated piece of Black will be stabilized, marking the official entry of the whole game into the endgame.
Since Black is currently leading by a large amount in real space, and since the endgame of this game is not complicated, if Black plays at that point, it can basically be considered that Black has already won.
This choice of point was not only noticed by professional chess players, but also by the semi-professional Li Xiangping. Therefore, when he saw that Lao Shi did not move there, Li Xiangping was of course horrified.
So what kind of chess did the great chess master Shi play? First of all, it must be pointed out that the great chess master Shi was not in a daze at this time, and his moves were not bad.
He just chose another way to win!
It’s just that this path to victory seems very rugged and complicated, so with Li Xiangping’s level, he didn’t see it at the first time.
But it doesn’t matter. Just because Li Xiangping didn’t see it doesn’t mean that others can’t see it. For example, at the Chinese Chess Institute, Gu Dali, Kong Erjie and others quickly understood what this move meant.
"Tsk, tsk, so sharp!"
At the Chinese Chess Institute, Gu Dali expressed such an emotion. However, after expressing his emotion, he was unwilling to continue to evaluate this move, but looked at each other with his friends .
Because everyone has seen that the move made by Black is indeed a very sharp move. How to say it? Although in the first half of the game, White was the main attacker and Black was the main defender, but White's chess shape actually has flaws, and Black's move just now actually seized the biggest flaw in White's chess shape.
After this move, Black is ready to counterattack!
However, the reason why everyone is reluctant to continue to comment is: if you can win by just defending one move, is it necessary to counterattack? Isn't it said that "win chess without making trouble "? Is it inevitable to make trouble in a situation with a great advantage?
At this time, "Brother Niu" Qiu Jun suddenly said: "Could it be that Li Xiangping's judgment of the situation is wrong? He may have made a mistake and thought that he was behind in the situation, so he chose such an aggressive move?"
Many people nodded subconsciously after hearing this. Indeed, they were all professional chess players, and they were very clear about the practical psychology of such games. They all thought this was a very reasonable explanation.
Only Kong Erjie said, "Impossible."
Everyone looked at Kong Erjie, but Kong Erjie only looked at Gu Dali and said:
"Dali, don't forget that when you played the first game of chess with Li Xiangping, he used the tactic of 'persuading surrender'. If he could use such a tactic, how could his ability to judge the situation be bad?"
Everyone laughed when Kong Erjie said this. Indeed, when Honinbo Xiuqin VS Honinbo Shudou, although Xiuqin "stopped" a move, he won exactly half a point in the end. In everyone's opinion, anyone who dares to "stop" must have excellent judgment of the situation. However, no one knows that Lao Shi really made a mistake at that time. He was following the medieval chess rules to end the game. He was not "persuading surrender".
Since they thought that Li Xiangping couldn't have made a wrong judgment, everyone stopped worrying about it. Finally, Gu Dali said:
"Let's just keep watching the game. Anyway, this move is still very sharp. Wow, this really looks like Li Xiangping's move. His sense of battle is first-rate! For example, this move completely grasps the weak point of White. I feel that Black can still fight well, but it may be a little more difficult to win."
Gu Dali was not wrong. After Lao Shi made this move, it was indeed very difficult to win the game. At least Li Xiangping, who was sitting in the game room, felt the trouble at the first moment.
Because he saw that after he made the move according to Lao Shi's instructions, Liu Changhe, who had seemed a little listless, suddenly became excited. He seemed to have discovered some opportunity, stared at the chessboard, and began to calculate seriously.
At 5pm, Liu Jiudan had been thinking for half an hour but still hadn't made a move. At 5:10pm, Liu Jiudan entered the countdown. In order to find a chance to turn the tables, he even used the "beating general" move several times in a row to extend his thinking time.
At 5:15 pm, Liu Jiuduan shook his head imperceptibly, but he still took action, and did it with a very determined attitude!
The so-called enemy's key point is my key point. Liu Changhe did not pay attention to the move that Lao Shi had just made, but instead forcibly occupied the point that was previously popular.
Once the white chess piece occupies this point, a large black chess piece becomes inactive. Of course, since the white chess piece has gained the upper hand, as a compensation, the flaw of one of the white chess pieces becomes more and more obvious.
Because of this exchange, the whole game has entered a different pattern. Previously, both sides ended the game peacefully, but now? Both sides started to attack each other! You kill my big dragon, and I will chase your big chess piece.
The atmosphere in the game room was tense, but the discussions in the research room - whether it was the research room of the Chinese Chess Academy or the on-site research room, the atmosphere of research was heated again.
Although Li Xiangping was the closest spectator, he could not hear the opinions of the laboratory. Therefore, for the next period of time, Li Xiangping's mood was like a roller coaster.
Because at this point, both sides have entered the countdown, so the subsequent process is relatively fast.
Around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping's face turned pale, because at this point in the game, the white chess piece had taken the lead in capturing a large dragon of the black chess piece. Although at this time, the research room believed that the black chess piece had already had a greater advantage, everyone judged that although a black chess piece had been killed, the white chess piece's own chess shape was even more fragmented, with 3 isolated pieces appearing at the same time.
One of these three isolated pieces will definitely die no matter what! No matter which of these three pieces dies, if the other two are taken by the black pieces, the black piece will have a greater advantage, up to about 15 points on the board.
More importantly, everyone also thinks that this is the best effect that white chess can achieve. If you are not careful, the probability of two pieces dying is very high. If two pieces die, then black chess has a greater advantage.
However, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping had not seen the result yet. He only saw that one of his pieces had died, while the opponent's dead piece had not yet been realized, so he looked pale.
At 6:30 in the afternoon, Li Xiangping's face returned to normal, because he had seen that a white piece had died and Lao Shi was chasing another big dragon.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, although the chess game had not yet ended, Li Xiangping's face was already flushed. He even sighed in his heart:
"Tsk tsk, this is how the chess masters of medieval times played chess. This is also the true spirit of medieval chess. It seems that only in medieval chess, there is no emphasis on winning without causing trouble. Even Go AI can't do this..."
In this regard, Li Xiangping even had some understanding of why people like his own old man Li Yuanhu and Cai Zhixiong liked medieval chess so much. The reason was simple, because they liked the ideas and spirit of medieval chess.
The spirit of medieval chess can actually be summed up in three words: explore every possible way!
Just like the game of chess that Lao Shi played today.
At around 7:10 p.m., 335 moves into the game, Liu Changhe admitted defeat with a wry smile after seeing his second big dragon being killed.
1 to 0!
Li Xiangping is only one step away from the world championship finals.
