Chapter 97 Advanced Methods
"Haha, it's alright, little friend Xiang Ping. I think this is feasible."
Li Xiangping was speechless when he heard that he was using a cheat. Let's not talk about his doubts about what Lao Shi said. Think about the "Mi's Flying Dagger" routine. It was studied by many professional chess players in later generations, and they constantly summarized and won. They also used the help of Go AI. You are an old guy who lived hundreds of years ago. Even if you are the chess master of your time, you dare to modify such a routine without authorization?
This is not the most important thing. What makes Li Xiangping even more unhappy is that Lao Shi's current behavior is to interrupt Li Xiangping's pretense. Poor Li Xiangping has rarely encountered any opportunities to show off since his rebirth, especially when he was hit by such an unlucky plug-in. Now he finally has a chance to "guide" the world champion, but it is interrupted by his own plug-in?
"Hehe, is this play feasible? Brother Ding'an, be careful not to blow your tongue. I won't care about this. You are responsible for this game to the end."
It was obvious when he heard these words that Li Xiangping was indeed a little furious at this time. In fact, he did not even think about the fact that since he traveled through time to the present, every case was taken care of by Old Shi.
Li Xiangping was so busy sulking that he didn't pay attention to what move Lao Shi made. He also didn't notice that after he made this move, his opponent's face flashed with a hint of surprise. He stopped again and began to think for the second time in this game.
In the viewing room, at the Chinese Chess Institute, and on major websites, professional chess players who watched the game gave high praise after they saw Lao Shi's move after getting over their initial shock and savoring it carefully:
"Black! Li Xiangping's move was really black! All I can say now is that this is a first-rate strong player that is unique to Jueyi. Most people don't have such a mindset. This is actually Jueyi's strength..."
Today, the one who gave the technical explanation on Qingfeng.com was their signature player Luo Xihe. After Luo Shenzhu gave this move a "black" evaluation, he analyzed this move in detail from the perspective of a professional chess player:
"Regarding the above change, to be honest, since this is the first time I have seen this kind of move, I will not give you a technical analysis. I can only tell you the conclusion. After a group of young chess players from the chess academy studied it, they believe that the white chess move has been successful so far. In other words, they believe that the novice move of 'Jueyi' has worked. The conclusion of their research is this..."
At this point, Luo Xihe posted a reference diagram on the website, and the reference diagram he posted is actually one of the positive changes of "Mi's Flying Dagger" in later generations. Of course, this is also normal. After all, there are more than 50 moves now, and there are not many changes for professional chess players in the next 10 or so moves.
"...Look, this is the follow-up change we studied. If both sides played normally, we thought it would turn out like this. If the actual game turns out like this, according to our judgment, everyone thinks that White is fully capable of fighting. Although we can't say that White has gained a big advantage, there should be no doubt that the novice White has achieved great success..."
"...But our 'Jueyi' didn't play like this. Faced with a completely acceptable result, he didn't play like this. Instead, he suddenly broke away from the advantage in this part and chose the actual game move. So what does this move mean? Compared with our research, is this move better? To be honest, the chess academy has not yet reached a conclusion, and many chess players still have many disputes about this. Here I am just talking about my personal opinion..."
"...I personally think: this is a very meaningful move! It is a first-class strong move unique to Jueyi. Everyone knows that there is a saying in Go that if you suddenly make a move somewhere else before finishing a move in one area, it is called..."
"...That's right, it seems that everyone's level is very high. This is called 'testing the hand' in Go, and the move just made by White can also be regarded as a 'testing the hand'. As we know, in Go, 'testing the hand' is considered a relatively advanced tactic. For example, Li Canghao, the number one player in the world today, many people know that he has a nickname called 'Li Ma'. What does his 'Ma' mean? Let me tell you now, his 'Ma' actually means 'testing the hand'. It is precisely because Li Canghao is particularly good at 'testing the hand' that he has become the number one player in the world today..."
"...and what about Jueyi's 'test move' just now? I am not afraid to tell you my feelings. I think compared to Li Ma's 'Ma', this 'test move' may be even more advanced, because the attitude of this move is tougher and more positive. Li Canghao's 'test move' often has a strong meaning of 'waiting', but Li Xiangping's move just now makes it impossible for you to avoid it. It forces you to express your position now, and no matter how you express your position, it seems difficult to get a satisfactory result. Please see the reference picture..."
After listening to Luo Shenzhu's eloquent and in-depth analysis, the majority of spectators watching the live broadcast were happy, because if it was really as Luo Xihe said, then facing Lao Shi's presumptuous move, the opponent seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.
In fact, Luo Xihe did not put too many reference pictures on the website. He mainly put out two variations. The first one was to respond to this step head-on as a "trial response". Luo Xihe judged that Black could not play like this, because at this time no matter how Black responded, it seemed that it would be used and taken advantage of.
You have to know that according to normal circumstances, the situation of the black chess pieces is already not optimistic. If the white chess pieces take advantage of it and then return to the normal track, then the situation of the black chess pieces will undoubtedly be made worse.
Luo Xihe's second reference diagram is to ignore this "test response" and attack the large white piece first. However, Luo Xihe believes that Black cannot play like this either, because the timing of White's "test response" is too good. Black's attack at this time seems to be unable to attack anything. Even if there are some gains in some areas, once Black falls behind in the attack and is attacked by White first, the consequences will be even more serious.
"Now everyone should understand why I say this 'test response' is very advanced, right? Because this move puts the opponent in a very difficult position. It's neither right nor wrong. If he responds, he'll be taken advantage of. If he doesn't respond, he'll be risky, a risk that's greater than the opponent's. More importantly, facing such a move, Black seems to have only these two choices. Haha. Anyway, with my level, I don't see any third choice. To sum up, I think this is definitely a good move. Now is the watershed of this game. It's not certain that this move will become the winning move of this game..."
Is there a third, better response to Lao Shi's move? Luo Xihe said he didn't know, and as for Li Xiangping, he certainly didn't know either.
The most important thing is, it seems that even Liu Changhe, the 9th dan, doesn’t know it!
After thinking for nearly 20 minutes, at least in this game, Liu Changhe's response did not deviate from Luo Xihe's expectations.
He chose to ignore this move and attack the large white piece first.
However, it was a pity for Liu Changhe, the 9th dan, that from this time on, he embarked on a path of no return!
Although the game lasted for more than 100 moves, there is actually nothing much to say.
Because from this time on, the black chess's operation was a bit forced, and because of the previous change, Liu Changhe, the 9th dan, fell into a time panic. The most important thing was that the situation like today seemed to have entered the chess style that Lao Shi was best at.
Then the final outcome is actually foreseeable!
Just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, many chess fans watching the game online could no longer suppress their excitement.
At 4:30, many onlookers held their breath, waiting for Liu Changhe to resign and admit defeat.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the result of this game had actually come out. Li Xiangping defeated Liu Changhe 2-0 and made it into the finals of the world championship. However, many chess fans did not disperse and were waiting for the result of another game.
"Haha, it's Da Li! It's Da Li! It's interesting. I can watch Jueyi and Da Li play five games..."
