Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 856: Zhaomen Knife
Uh…she’s jumping in a three-way here?!

This is this...

How different is this from jumping on the four-way??!

At the same time, inside the chess game room of Zhongjing International Conference Center.

After seeing the opponent perform the three-way jump, Xu Lifan, who was eager to try out his own plan, was stunned for a moment, just like he had just happily bought an ice cream to taste, but found a large spoonful of chili oil and chopped coriander on it.

Yes, just as Zeng Guangwen and Ni Jue outside the venue guessed - Xu Lifan was indeed well prepared for this Asian Games.

For Xu Xianren, who is obviously not very competitive in slow chess, the quadrennial Asian Games is undoubtedly his best stage. Four years ago, he tasted the wonderful feeling of standing on the highest podium in Qiantang, and this time he naturally hopes to relive the old dream.

But objectively speaking, the situation of this Zhongjing Asian Games is indeed somewhat different from that of the last Qiantang Asian Games.

In 2022, although Xu Xianren defeated the three leading figures of China and South Korea in the men's individual events, it must be said that Lin Ruixin and Li Tingyan had passed the peak of their careers at that time, and the young master of the Liu family, who had just become the recognized number one, had just won four world championships, which was far less terrible than it is now.

Now, four years have passed, and the situation in the world chess arena has changed greatly.

Liu and Lei, both of whom are kings, have shown an ability to suppress others far beyond that of Lin and Li. The famous Chinese figure Zhaojun has emerged as a dark horse. In the more than one year since the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament last year, she has not lost a single game in many rapid chess competitions and has been hailed as a god!

Faced with such a fierce battle between gods, the defending champion was naturally nervous, thinking that he had little chance of winning against these monsters head-on. So he secretly prepared some flying knives, hoping to use them in the game and defeat the strong with the weak in the single-elimination tournament!

In this game against Zhao Tian, ​​he just made the same flying pressure changes in the upper right and lower right, hoping to introduce it into his own preparation.

But he never expected that it was his opponent who introduced his own changes and made the first mistake, but he was the one who started to think first!

The reason was very simple: for this part, he only prepared the four-way jump of option one and two subsequent branches of option two, and as for the three-way jump, he was completely clueless!

However, this cannot be blamed on Master Xu - researching and digesting the flying knife is really time-consuming!
You know, China's genius chess player Ni Jue quickly shifted his focus to the research of flying knife layout after the advent of AI. It still takes a lot of time to thoroughly study the changes of a flying knife. In order to increase his chances of using a flying knife as much as possible, Xu Lifan also studied more layout changes. But how can he achieve the same proficiency as Ni Jue by cramming at the last minute!

So out of desperation, the provincial team's top player, who was completely short of energy and time, only remembered the most mainstream branches of various changes and the most likely moves of the opponent, thinking that it should be enough.

Who would have thought that his opponent would choose such an unpopular move after just a few moves? This really made Xu Lifan very confused! He immediately began to think for a long time.

But even though he was thinking about it, Xu Xianren was still very nervous.

The reason why the complex layout of Go can be called a sharp "flying knife" is that a single careless move may cause fatal injuries to the player!
Especially when there is no AI assistance, it is not easy to think of flying knife branches out of thin air. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces! This made Xu Lifan, who was caught off guard, feel more pressure!

Uh... at first glance...

Jumping on the third path here seems to be almost the same as jumping on the fourth path!

After thinking for five or six minutes and still not fully figuring out the subsequent changes, Xuxianren knew it was not good to keep wasting time, so he finally made up his mind.

In short...

Just like the four-way jump, it's always right to grow first, right? !
Thinking of this, Xu Lifan finally hesitated and made the first move after his opponent escaped from his research scope.

However, what he didn't expect was that the opponent's next move followed just one second after the move was pinned on the board!

Move 28, Black Tiger moves!

Ask the white chess piece in the corner to express his position!
...

...

"Ah, this, this, this..." "Where on earth was hit by the flying knife?"

Fifteen minutes later, Dongjiang City Wendao Go Club.

Seeing Rui Zhao's move just now and Black's winning rate rising to 72%, Yu Qingguang couldn't help but exclaimed. Even Lei Jingming, who had been focusing on Liu Lei's semi-final, couldn't help but look over.

"... Lao Li, what on earth is going on?!

"Why did Rui Zhao make the wrong move first, and now Xu Lifan is the one who has to think with a gloomy face?!"

“It’s obvious!”

Facing his old friend's questioning, Li Wangyuan, who was also watching the game, seemed very calm and just said slowly:
"Xu Lifan originally wanted to stab Rui Zhao, but he was not skilled enough and was stabbed by Rui Zhao instead."

"The knife is turned around?!"

"Yes."

Li Wangyuan nodded:
“In fact, ever since Rui Zhao took over the title of [Celebrity] from Xiao Ni last year, Rui Zhao has been strengthening his research on flying knives, not wanting to embarrass Xiao Ni.

"After Rui Zhao was hit by Zhu Yuanjun's flying knife in the last round of Weiqi League in February this year, she often asked me and Xiao Ni for advice on how to deal with other people's flying knives.

"Xiao Ni and I taught her a lot, and we also specifically told her to continue to accumulate more knowledge.

“When it comes to flying knives, the purpose is to attack the unprepared with the prepared. As long as you have seen enough layouts, you will naturally be able to gain the upper hand - and the current situation can be said to be typical.

"Xu Lifan took the initiative to break through. Naturally, he intended to introduce it into the complex changes that he had prepared in advance, but he was completely unaware of this starting change. Rui Zhao was more familiar with it than he was!
"When she saw that the opponent was about to use the flying knife, Rui Zhao decisively interrupted the attack, preferring to sacrifice a certain chance of winning rather than continue according to the opponent's routine. As a result, she never expected that she would test Xu Lifan's half-baked knowledge!

"It's obvious that he was just trying to catch up with the exam at the last minute, studying some common changes and hoping to trick Rui Zhao - but this is too much of a disrespect for Rui Zhao, and he doesn't take Xiao Ni and I seriously!

"After Rui Zhao made a tiger move on the third row, he still followed his old strategy of jumping on the fourth row and pulling from the outside. As a result, he was unable to deal with both the inside and the outside after being hit by the black chess piece. He made more and more mistakes afterwards!
"Now Xu Lifan's pieces are either dead in the corner, or the black pieces on the outside will seize the key points and make them fly out, while the two pieces above and in the middle will be entangled and attacked by Rui Zhao, the strongest force in the world. No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end!
"Looking at his livid face, you can tell how difficult his situation is right now!"

Hearing this, Yu Qingguang finally understood the current situation and sighed:
"The essence of Go... in the final analysis is accumulation and persistence!
"This Xiaoxu from the provincial team wanted to relive his old dream by cramming for an exam, but he hit a wall when he met Rui Zhao!"

But at this point, Yu Qingguang seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately looked at Li Wangyuan and said:
"No, wait a minute, Lao Li!

"You mean... since last year's Masters Tournament, Rui Zhao has devoted a lot of energy to throwing knives? But I can't see it at all!

"Her chess skills have been improving continuously, and it doesn't seem like she has been distracted from other aspects. And...

"I don't see her using any flying knives in the past year?!"

"Uh... I don't understand this!

"Maybe this girl told us that she put a lot of energy into the flying knives, but in reality she is just dealing with it superficially!"

Li Wangyuan suddenly realized that he had said too much and quickly covered his eyes and said:

"Alright! Let's quickly continue watching the game!"

But upon hearing this, Yu Qingguang just rolled his eyes slightly, then raised his eyebrows towards the TV screen and said:

"Hey, what are you still looking at this chess game for?
"With Rui Zhao's move just now, the white chess piece in the corner is already dead!
"It's only the forty-fifth move and the situation is about to turn into a dragon among dragons!"
