The 47th Celebrity Battle Loop Challenger decided to open the game and saw Yi Li Liao in the first round of the match on December 3. The game was geared towards winning consecutive challenges and eventually winning. But looking at other events, the current situation in Yililiao is very difficult. This year's 3 title battles all lost and fell to no crown. Although it has been hit, the match arrangement will not wait for anyone. You can only adjust your own state while fighting, testing the true value of the winning division.
The opponent in the opener was Hakushi Itachi, who emerged from the qualifier. This is Ida's first celebrity battle loop trip, having previously challenged Honinbo and won ten titles. The record is 6 wins and 8 losses, the only player who does not win more than half of the round robin, and this game is also considered to affect the challenger's competition.
In this game, Itachi Tachibana used his own handy layout. The bottom right corner of the black 3 is out of the eye and then the black 5 is out of sight, which is no longer visible in the recent top chess players. This method puts the chess at a high position, and pays more attention to the playing method of the force than the number of eyes. In the face of the white 14 tester, the black 15 continues to operate the appearance above. Aiming at the black chess position below, Yili Liao started the battle from the inception of The White 16.
Black 17 to Black 27 underwent a dizzying change, and the two sides ended up with two points. After stretching out the sword, it was immediately retracted, just like the battle between the two sword masters, and the high-level combat means could be seen that both sides were very imposing. We will explain the situation in this game, after which Itachi Made some mistakes and won the game in one fell swoop after seizing the opportunity.
After the game, Yi Liliao said: "I am relieved a lot." However, after 3 days, in the 4th situation of the Tianyuan War, Against Guan Hangtaro, who forced himself into a desperate situation, "I felt that I could face the game with a good mood, I didn't care about how the opponent was, and I hoped to play my own chess game." Winning chess is the best antidote for Yili Liao.
For the first time in the Tianyuan War, he faced a chess player younger than himself, and was forced into a desperate situation in the Tianyuan War with 1 win and 2 losses. In the 4th set, Yi Li Liao made a fatal mistake at the key point and eventually lost the title. At the beginning of the year, with the strength of tianyuan and the second crown of qi sheng, this year it was a new year without a crown, and perhaps I did not expect such an ending.
At the beginning of this year, it was as crazy as if he wanted to defeat all opponents, and in June, he began to face Yuta Iyama's "Twelve Pieces" in the Battle of The Holy War and the Celebrity War. In the end, although they all went down to the decider, they were all reversed in the end. Maybe the rhythm has changed. Originally, it had been following Yuta Iyama's strength, but it was surpassed by the chess player who was originally behind him.
Starting in January next year, he will face Yuta Iyama in the Chess Holy War Seven Pieces. This time the round robin and the chess of the chess holy war will be played at the same time. If the state of Yili Liao at this time is in the ascending period, it may be able to cope with it, but the state of Yili Liao at this time is not stable, and this continuous battle is very stressful for Yili Liao.
Yoshio Ishida said: "If you can still get the right to challenge celebrities in this way, you are a super first-class chess player", whether Yili Liao can overcome adversity.
