Chess Soul: Buy the Shijia chessboard at the beginning

Today was the first time that Tian Minze did not leave after finishing his game. Instead, he walked into the viewing room and watched the outcome of another semi-final.

Hong He versus Gao Yongxia.

The vast majority of people were optimistic about Hong He before the game. This year, Hong He won his first World Series championship, his first domestic title, and his points have already surpassed Gao Yongxia.

Gao Yongxia has passed his peak period since losing to AI. Both in terms of mentality and learning ability, he has been surpassed by the young players behind him.

But in Go games, predictions before the game are often just predictions. In Tian Minze's eyes, Gao Yongxia's feeling in the middle game is still world-class, and Hong He happened to be restrained by Gao Yongxia.

Hong He is a chess player who likes to exert force in the middle game and is full of offensive meaning, while Gao Yongxia has been waiting for his opponent to make mistakes. And he waited for this opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the battle that lasted for 6 hours finally ended. Hong He lost 3 moves and fell before the finish line. Gao Yongxia once again entered the finals of the World Series after a year.

"This is my most serious game. I haven't been this excited for a long time." Gao Yongxia still couldn't hide his excitement in front of the camera.

"When I learned that Tian Minze was participating, I felt that there were not many opportunities for me to fight Tian Minze head-on again, so I would seize this opportunity. If I lose, then I think it is time to give me My career has come to an end!”

A reporter from "Go Weekly" asked in surprise, "Does Gao Jiudan say that he will retire if he loses?"

"That's right!" Gao Yongxia nodded, "In this competition, Tian Minze and I will compete, and it will also be a matter of life and death!"

This is the desperate Gao Yongxia who is betting his career on a battle. In his chess skills, there are strange changes, luxurious abandoned pieces, beautiful orphans, but there is also amazing determination.

This is the Go master who once attracted the attention of the world.

The duel between Tian Minze and Gao Yongxia has been going on for five years. When Tian Minze was 15 years old, the two faced off for the first time. That time, Tian Minze failed to win him even though he relied on cheats.

Now 20 years old, Tian Minze meets Gao Yongxia again. At this time, "the offensive and defensive momentum is different." Everyone believes that Gao Yongxia can burst out with powerful power in desperate situations and defeat his opponents.

Gao Yongxia is only 8 years younger than the legendary chess player Cui Ze th Dan. Cui Ze th Dan has retired for many years. It is not surprising that Gao Yongxia has the idea of ​​​​retiring.

Tian Min listened to Gao Yongxia's declaration in the viewing room, and couldn't help but look serious, staring at the TV where Gao Yongxia was saying the cruelest words in the most normal tone.

When Tian Minze turned around and found that the chess players around him were looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and turned to leave.

I'm also very excited about this game.

Tian Minze and Gao Yongxia walked into the arena at about the same time. Tian Minze stood up to greet them, and the two shook hands.

Every farewell is for a better reunion.

Tian Minze and Gao Yongxia have both reduced their participation in the past two years, but when they try their best to prove themselves, they are still the unstoppable existence.

Today, Gao Yu’s 4th-dan and Nie Xuanfeng’s 9th-level matchup was explained. At the beginning, Nie Xuanfeng said with emotion, “I didn’t expect that a few years later, our most anticipated match in the World Series is still between Gao Yongxia and Tian Minze. "

Gao Yu didn't know how to answer the fourth-dan question for a while. After all, there are many top professional chess players in China now. If he can't say it well by himself, I'm afraid he will be wrong. Especially since Go also has a fan economy, it will be unavoidable if he is attacked by a group. beautiful.

Nie Xuanfeng glanced at Gao Yu's fourth section and found that the other party was not easy to answer his words. He changed the subject with a smile, "Tian Minze is still active in the chess world, and it is also the wish of many chess fans. This is good. As a person, I His teacher is also happy for him."

Tian Min picked up the mug in front of him and took a gentle sip of coffee. The bitter taste filled his heart and spleen, and Tian Min felt a little more awake.

Gao Yongxia holds black, Tian Min holds white, and the first game of three rounds of chess begins.

Black's chess star started with a small eye, and white's chess should be matched with a small eye. Tian Min's moves were still very fast, and there was no trace of any nervousness and hesitation in his heart. Gao Yongxia's thinking was a bit slow, and he frequently took long tests as soon as the game started.

Black directly took the corner, and Gao Yongxia started the game proactively, looking for Tian Minze's flaws.

In the opening 20 moves, Tian Min took 15 minutes, with an average of less than one and a half minutes per move, while Gao Yongxia took 45 minutes, with each move taking more than 4 minutes.

The two of them played for an hour, but Tian Min got up and walked around, a little reluctant to the slow pace of today's chess.

But in the 23rd move, Gao Yongxia made a questionable move. Black made a big flying move in the lower right corner to defend the corner. Tian Min frowned at this move.

In Gao Yongxia's view, this move is a good move that stabilizes the corners and connects the four lines above. Black's previous move was a good move that separated the sides. It communicates with the upper and lower sides and effectively controls the sides.

But in Tian Minze's view, this move was specious and extremely embarrassing.

Nie Xuanfeng also agreed with Tian Minze's point of view, "This move is not established. Now the white chess rushes to the bottom to point first, or presses from the top. It is a good point to establish. Even point three and three are excellent."

However, after Tian Min thought about it for two minutes, he still made a quick move. He made a small move in the seemingly narrow place on the upper left. This move had a strong defensive meaning. It seems that he completely underestimated the opponent's corner defense. He protected himself on the ground first and was not in a hurry to attack the opponent.

Gao Yongxia bit his lip, a little dissatisfied, and directly pressed the lower left corner to the right, and continued to open up his formation, suppressing the white piece in the corner.

Tian Min directly hung up the corner and adjusted the order of moves without affecting the effect of his attacks.

After a few moves, Gao Yongxia also found that the effect of his big fly to defend the corner was extremely poor. At this time, he was unwilling to make up for the moves and it was a bit repetitive.

Nie Xuanfeng laid out the chess and still gave the change of making up the chess, "At this time, the black chess is thick and there are not many ways for the white chess. But I think this is not Gao Yongxia's style. It is too heavy to play like this. If Yu Liang comes I will definitely make this choice next time. But Gao Yongxia, who is good at elegant chess style, is not willing to defend like this."

Sure enough, Gao Yongxia directly expanded the lower side and made a move at the star position. He still aimed at the break point of the white chess piece, hoping to make the white chess piece a solitary piece.

However, Tian Min directly broke off from the upper right and penetrated into the weak point of Da Fei's defending corner. Black's two stones did not form an effective connection.

Gao Yongxia had planned a sharp counterattack early on, and the two sides struggled together in a chess shape, both of which were offensive and borrowed.

"Gao Yongxia's moves have his own style," Nie Xuanfeng exclaimed. "This kind of chaos is what Gao Yongxia likes. It's as if after a few moves, the entire chessboard has entered Gao Yongxia's battlefield again. It's a messy situation. , I also want to see if Tian Minze can quickly complete the grooming and gain a firm foothold."
