MTL - Go Legend-Chapter 907 Classic Erluto

   Chapter 907 Classic Erluto

  On the afternoon of the second day of the new year, Li Xiangping went to CCTV's "Big Pants" to participate in this special tenth press conference.

   After arriving at the destination, Li Xiangping looked at this ugly but famous building outside, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart:

   I haven't been here for some days.

Before the age of 20, I was a frequent visitor here, but in the past 5 years, I have been here very few times. .

   But fortunately, the current Li Xiangping is also a sports person who has participated in the National Day reception, so this time, he still received considerable courtesy.

Supporting the press conference are his old acquaintances, Li Xiangping's Peking University alumnus, and Xiao Sa of CCTV's comprehensive channel. From this arrangement, it can be seen that CCTV still attaches great importance to this "New Year's Cup", otherwise No such arrangement will be made.

Yang Ma's face is still quite big. Since they are the ones who came forward to open the competition, although it is Chinese New Year, none of the 11 participating chess players will pull it. In addition, there are famous chess players such as Chairman Wang, Hua Yuan, Lao Nie Ma Xiao, etc., not only that , the Korean embassy in China also sent several officials such as the cultural counselor to attend, which made the whole press conference look quite pompous.

After a press conference like    started, there were naturally various speeches at the beginning, and it was difficult to wait for all the people to finish speaking. When entering the interactive session, Xiaosa's microphone was handed to Li Xiangping's mouth:

"Hello Xiangping, I haven't seen you for a few days. I know that you have lost all the special ten games in the past three years, so are you confident this time? And I would like to ask you to predict for yourself, what do you think this year's competition will be? There's no chance of ending it early?"

   Li Xiangping smiled slightly, the reason why little Sabe asked this is because compared with previous years, this year's competition has made a major reform.

  In the past, in order to take care of the interests of the sponsors, it was stipulated that ten games must be played. But this time, since it was Yang's mother who came forward, she will restore the ancient system:

   As long as one side wins by 4 games to demote the other side, the game is automatically terminated.

In other words, if Li Xiangping comes directly to 4-0 or 5-1, then there is no need to play later, the game is over, and the game bonus belongs to him alone, and the United team only gets a pitiful few appearances. fee.

vice versa.

   And such a rule is actually the reason why Korean big and small Li are willing to come this time.

  Because compared with the previous game, there is another change in this special jubanqi, that is, the order of appearance of the alliance team is fixed.

   There are 10 players on the World United team. Last year's seven world champions are naturally selected players, while Kong Erjie and South Korea's big and small Lee are special invited players.

   Then, according to the order of winning the world championship last year, the seven world champions will go up one by one, and when all these people are finished, it will be the turn of the three specially invited players.

   Then according to this arrangement, the Korean big and small Li just made the finale appearance.

  According to the experience of the previous 3 years, since Li Xiangping has not yet won, when the game reaches that stage, there is actually not much pressure on the players of the United team to play chess.

   Anyway, there is no pressure of relegation, and you can earn a lot of bonuses if you win. Why not enjoy such a game?

   In the face of Xiao Sa's question, Li Xiangping answered very sophisticatedly:

   "Hehe, Senior Brother Sa, you have posed a problem for me. How can a Go game be so predictable. If I had to tell me, I would guess that I would still play 10 games this time."

   "What if you are dissatisfied?"

  Li Xiangping continued to smile, and then said confidently:

   "If you are dissatisfied, then I believe that it is definitely not me who has been demoted this time."

  According to this year's rules, if it is not full this time, then one side must be demoted, either Li Xiangping or the United side.

   So after hearing Li Xiangping's answer, Xiao Sa glanced at him in surprise:

   "Haha, Xiangping is so confident this time?"

  Li Xiangping continued to smile: "I still have a little confidence, because I said last year that I feel that I have improved my game again, and my understanding of Go is deeper. Now I am not as easy to deal with as last year."

"LOL, really…"

  Since it was an interaction, of course it was impossible to catch Li Xiangping alone and talk non-stop, so Xiao Sa began to ask other chess players questions.

   It may be that Li Xiangping's big words have stimulated everyone even more, especially South Korean Xiao Li, who directly confronted Li Xiangping, saying that if he really doesn't have to play this time, I believe the relegated side is definitely not the World League.

   The tit-for-tat before the game is just to add topic and heat to the game. What kind of result can it show in the end? Of course, you have to see the real chapter under your hand.

The second day of    is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the special juban of this enhanced version officially begins.

The pioneer sent by the    World Alliance is none other than the first world champion born last year, the teenager Jiang Weijie, whose online name is "Bloodthirsty Maniac".

   And this time the schedule is more compact. Since the title is "New Year's Cup", it is of course to finish the competition during the Chinese New Year.

  The competition starts from the third day of the first day and ends on the fifteenth. There are 10 games of chess arranged in the thirteen days. There are only 3 rest days in the whole process. This is still a test for Li Xiangping's physical strength.

   As for the first opponent, Xiaojiang, judging from his real history, he seems to be a typical example of "debut is the peak".

   The championship he won in 13 years was his first World Series final and his only championship.

   However, after that, he never showed his performance in the international market, let alone a champion, he was fit to never make it to the finals.

   Not to mention the finals, he seems to have reached the semi-finals only a handful of times.

   However, Li Xiangping did not dare to underestimate his opponent because of this.

   After all, judging from the past and present life, Xiao Jiang is at the peak of his career.

In Li Xiangping's memory, in addition to winning the "LG Cup" once, he also seemed to have won the title of "celebrity" twice in China, especially one of them, when he was in the five-game chess game. Defeating Kong Erjie, one of them won very beautifully, which left a deep impression on Li Xiangping to this day.

In addition to this reason, Xiao Jiang, whose net name is "Bloodthirsty Maniac", is a master of fighting. His chess style is superior in killing and killing. To tell the truth, this style of chess is actually better than that of the stable chess. Wind is harder to deal with.

  Especially when Xiaojiang has just become a world champion and he is full of energy, then this type of chess player is even more difficult to deal with.

   In the first game, Xiaojiang, who is full of spirit, really caused a lot of trouble for Li Xiangping.

  Especially in the middle game, around 80 moves in the whole game, Xiaojiang showed an extremely beautiful and classic tetsujin move, and the offense and defense around his tetsujin move became the key to the outcome of the game.

   There is an episode. During the game, when Li Xiangping saw his opponent show that move, he was stunned for a moment, and had a feeling of crying and laughing.

  There is no other, because this step of hand tendon is a common technique used by dogs in later generations, and in the previous column of "Changing Mid-pan", Li Xiangping once spent quite a long time introducing this step of hand tendon in great detail.

   Tell everyone when this technique can be used and when it is not suitable, and what conditions must be met to use this technique.

  The beginning was today, just now, Xiaojiang used the techniques he had analyzed in detail, which made Li Xiangping feel like shooting himself in the foot.

   The move that Junior Jiang made just now is called "Erluto".

   And speaking of "Erluto", in fact, human Go was also very common before dogs. For example, it is very famous to say "Erluto" on the "Worry-free Corner". This is a very classic way of playing Go in the past, and it is often a model of "trying to play".

   However, it is an interesting phenomenon. In the past, the "Erluto" of human Go often appeared at the corners of the chessboard, and not many on the edges of the chessboard.

   Well, of course there are erlutors that appear on the edge of the chessboard, but they are rare.

  It may be precisely because of the scarcity that in the past of human Go, once the "Erluto" on the side was established, many of them would be handed down as a master hand.

   For example, when Mr. Sakata Eio played against Fujisawa Hideyuki's old **** stick, Sakata played a very unique "support bench".

   That is also a one-step two-way too.

   As for Sakata's move, in the past, when humans selected the top ten best players in Go, his move would definitely be selected. If he was not selected, the authority of that version of the "Top Ten Best Players" would be questioned.

   Another example is the game between Gu Dali and Li Shishi in real history. Gu Dali also made a good move of "Erluto".

  Gu Dali's Erluto was directly praised as "a master of seventy steps in a straight line".

   But it was different in the dog era, and the number of Erlutos that appeared on the side gradually increased.

  Especially in the face of the "two-off" on the edge of the chessboard, in quite a few times, the dog even used the "two-way toe" as a conventional weapon against this chess shape.

   It is precisely because he often sees dogs playing like this, so after the research, Li Xiangping introduced this method systematically in "The Changing Game". He tried to summarize the rules and then promote it in human Go.

  Li Xiangping just didn't expect that he would encounter others using this method against him today.

   Faced with this method, Li Xiangping fell into contemplation at the time.

  Because he knew very well that although he was familiar with this method, it was a "dog move" after all, and one of the characteristics of a dog move was that he was extremely domineering and very difficult to deal with.

   For example, it is also "Erluto". Human's "Erluto" is often a test and contains an oriental philosophy.

   But the dog's "Erluto" is different.

   In other words, Xiaojiang's "Erluto" is different today.

   This is not a test, but a very destructive hand tendon. As long as there is a slight deviation in the response, the whole situation will collapse immediately.

  How to face this move?

  Unconsciously, Li Xiangping remembered a game of chess he had studied.

   That is a chess record of dog fights,

   is a game between the third generation dog "A Fayuan" and the second generation dog "Master".

   In that game of chess, the third generation of dogs also sacrificed a step "Erluto" to deal with the second generation of dogs.

   But that game was lost by three generations of dogs, and it was one of only 19 games it lost.

   And Li Xiangping also noticed that in the chess manuals he has seen or can remember, as long as the machine plays the "Erluto" on the side, it is basically a win for foreign dogs and local dogs.

   The game that the three generations of dogs lost was the only game he had ever seen.
