“… ‘Flow’!
"Xiao Lei has entered the 'flow' state!"

At the same time, in the official studio of Hua Xia Chess Academy in Dajing City.

Liu Yuhong, who also noticed the unusual state of her junior, stared blankly at the scene and kept muttering. But this abnormal behavior soon caused confusion to her husband and commentator partner Sun Yi:
"……Um?

"Yu Hong, what is 'flow'?"

"Uh……"

Only then did Liu Yuhong realize that he had been distracted for a moment, and subconsciously tried to smooth things over:

"That, that... it means that Lei Qi seems to have entered a state of selfless and superb performance!
"Aren't there terms like 'ZONE' or 'Flow'?
"Lei Qi just made a series of choices, and the latest move hit the AI's blind spot in one fell swoop! Isn't this just like entering this state?!"

“Is that so…”

Sun Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"That's true - it can be seen that Rui Zhao was also very surprised! It seems that she had not prepared for this move before the game. The capital has been in a long period of thinking since the start of the game.

"Wait, give me a minute, I'll see what's so brilliant about Lei Qi's move..."

Hearing her husband's approval of her explanation, the little bird breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing that my teacher is a sucker at naming, so he just gave this recruit a common name that can be explained easily.

If it was called something like "Starburst Abandoned Treatment Slash", "EX Curry Stick", "Pine Cone Phlegm Lightning Whip", then she really didn't know how to round it off...

At this time, Sun Yi naturally had no idea what his wife was complaining about. Seeing that AI gave the subsequent recommended options, he quickly made a few moves. As a top master in the world, he finally understood Lei Qi's intention:
"Hmm... Now I finally see it. This move is really very clever - it is a means to prolong the energy, and at the same time it also sets a small trap for Rui Zhao!"

"Extended Qi? Trap?"

Although Liu Yuhong had a general understanding of the idea behind her husband's moves after watching him make a few moves, she still pretended not to understand and deliberately acted as a supporting actor.

"Yes. First of all, Lei Qi is looking for the connection between the black chess pieces and the corners. Therefore, Rui Zhao's response must be able to block the crossing.

"But here White can only block one move - the Black piece sets up a double attack, which obviously won't work.

"And if you choose to stand alone, then the black piece in the corner will successfully extend its Qi. While escaping from the outer perimeter, the black piece can still kill the white piece. The situation is reversed instantly, and the black piece can just go back to collect Qi."

Sun Yi quickly explained the various changes to the audience - this was actually the reason why Shang Chaotian insisted on asking the student couple to take action.

If it were Song Jin and Fan Zhuo, who are not top-tier chess players, without the help of the guest group, they would probably not be able to understand the subtleties of these two top three players in the world for a while.

"...Of course, this hand block is not too difficult to think of, but the next move is really brain-burning."

After explaining why blocking is the only way, Sun Yi continued:

"After White blocks alone, Black will immediately return to the periphery to capture the opponent's chess - this is also a blind spot move, but it is the absolute choice of AI, and it is also an extremely tricky trap.

"Normally, when someone captures white pieces, they will definitely stick to them. This is a very natural way of thinking.

"But if the white pieces really stick, Rui Zhao will have to surrender immediately - because this is another extremely advanced method of prolonging energy.

"Because after the white pieces stick, the black pieces will immediately return to the corner to gather energy!

"It looks like five Qi against four Qi, but if White really tries to stop it, he will find that there is an extra chain of captures. The White piece in the corner is directly counter-killed, and the situation collapses instantly!
"It looked like a casual move from the outside, but it caused such a big change in the fight in the corner. It is understandable that the AI ​​would miscalculate."

“Well… indeed.

"But if that's the case, what good solution does White have?"

Liu Yuhong continued to praise:
"If we go back to the corner and start gathering our strength, we will be defeated instantly if the black pieces capture two of our pieces!"

"Of course we can't go back to the corner to gather our strength. White also has a clever move at this time, which is to make up a move along the way and do a two-for-one!"

Sun Yi put this AI-recommended trick on the board and then said with emotion:
“I have to say, this is a very counter-intuitive way to play, but it is the only solution in the current situation.

"After this move, not only did it prevent the black piece from capturing, but it also gave the white piece on the side a chance to breathe. When the black piece tried to capture the piece next to it, the white piece could just stick to it, and the current situation would still be maintained.

"But... the move of hitting two for one gave White a break, but it also gave Black a break.

"Originally, according to the previous transformation, the best that Black could do is to capture the four outer pieces of White. But in this way, except for the black piece in the corner, the other little dragon is also completely killed. The entire empty space in the upper left of White becomes solid, and Lei Qi can now make his move.

"But because White played two for one and had an extra breath, Black's little dragon could jump out, and he could decide whether to force his way out or seek help from others depending on the situation. This added a lot of variables to the situation, so Black's winning rate suddenly rebounded to nearly 30%!

"This change is too complex and subtle. Even for Rui Zhao, who is the one who forges the sword, it is almost impossible for him to notice it when the change has already been made very deeply and there is no AI prompt." "Indeed, the difficulty of this change is extraordinary!
"I don't know if our two chess players can perform this variation..."

"Sure!"

Sun Yi said with great confidence:
"Rui Zhao is good at straight-line calculations, and since Lei Qi was able to pull off this move, he must have anticipated the changes that would follow!

"Given their current state, I think they will probably leave the suspense of this game to be decided elsewhere on the chessboard!"

As expected, the two of them still maintained extremely high chess play quality and linear calculation ability, and formed a transition according to the best changes just made by Sun and Liu!

And because of the move in the lower left corner, the black chess piece has a free space, and after the transformation, the black chess piece chooses to jump out!

Because of this jump, the black pieces have more leverage on the upper side. Although the little dragon may not survive, the black pieces can still fight!
However, Hei Leiqi did not rush to force a continuous attack here, but chose to clamp on the right! It is estimated that he was also concerned about the extremely strong attack and killing ability of the world's number one force, so he planned to finalize other places first.

The complex battle that had spread from the lower left since the beginning of the game finally came to a temporary halt, and the two sides resolved the issue peacefully through conversion.

Next...both sides will begin the long battle in the second half!
"Huh...it's finally over for now.

"Rui Zhao still has the upper hand at the moment, with a winning rate of over 70%. But the chessboard is still very large, so it all depends on how the two sides compete in the second half of the game!"

Having explained this, Sun Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This level of complex fighting on the lower left side not only makes the player feel like walking on a tightrope, but it also makes the commentator very nervous. If you can be sure, you still hope it will end early.

“But to be honest, I am more optimistic about my junior sister.

"Although Black can still play in this situation, Lei Qi is now at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of time - he only has half an hour before the countdown begins, while Rui Zhao still has two full hours!
"We actually encountered this situation in the final round of the Celebrity Tournament and the first round of this LIG Cup. After those two rounds of flying knife changes, Lei Qi was unable to fully utilize his advantage in the quality of his moves to save the situation due to the time disadvantage.

"Judging from those two games, Lei Qi is still under a lot of pressure now!"

However, Mulan, the former queen of the Leiqi world, rarely expressed a different opinion on Sun Yi's view.

"Hmm...I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case."

The little bird narrowed its eyes and said:

"Perhaps, compared to the first two games...

"Lei Qi has also become stronger?"

...

...

"It seems... to have become stronger...

"Lei Qi actually caught up with us in this game!"

At 6:50 pm on the same day, in a high-end apartment in South Korea's capital.

Seeing that the second game of this year's LIG Cup final has entered the end of the small official game, Liu Shixian couldn't help but sigh softly as he watched the AI's winning rate continue to go back and forth near the 50% center line.

Just as the young master of the Liu family said: Ever since the huge battle in the lower left corner of the chessboard came to an end, Lei Qi immediately began to arrange other areas of the chessboard, and played chess at a top quality!
Because the two sides had turned the entire lower left area upside down, the finalization of other parts of the board also required extreme internal strength. However, unlike the previous two rounds of sword games, Lei Qi's performance in this round seemed to be stronger as if he had undergone a transformation!

Facing the contemporary Zhaojun whose ability to control the game was also reaching perfection, he overcame the huge time disadvantage and turned the situation around like peeling silk from an onion. Now it was the 190th move and the situation was almost evenly matched!
In the Masters Tournament, the odds were 50-50, but Rui Zhao won by a small margin in the end. In the first game of the LIG Cup final, the team had a 30% chance of winning, but Rui Zhao crushed them...

As a result, with a winning rate of less than 30% this time, did they manage to turn the tide?

He... seems to have really become stronger...

Could it be that my tricks backfired? !
The young master of the Liu family stared at the screen in front of him with his pupils slightly shrunken. For a moment, his thoughts were flooded with complicated meanings, and then he smiled bitterly with self-mockery.

But...anyway!
It was really an exciting and wonderful game!
Even at this stage of endgame, the AI ​​still can’t accurately calculate who will win!
do not know……

How far can AI finally confirm the final answer?
The strongest chess player in South Korea calmed himself down, put aside all distractions, and began to watch this wonderful game presented by the two Chinese "post-05" stars from a purely appreciative perspective.

The final result of this game of chess still exceeded Liu Shixian's imagination.

In the forty or so hands after move 190, the winning rate given by AI to both sides has been hovering between 40% and 60%, which is completely in a state that even artificial intelligence cannot predict!
It was not until the 232nd move, when there was little point left in the overall situation, that the AI, which had already been severely slapped in the face by Lei Qi in this game, seemed to have finally exhausted its computing power to calculate all the final changes.

The curve that was still hovering near the center line finally collapsed to one side like an avalanche, bringing this shocking battle between the two to a final end... (End of this chapter)
