Before the semi-finals, Ding Hao and Peng Liyao had a historical record of 3:4. Ding Hao, who won 71.43% of the year, gained a lot in the second half of the year: he was promoted to Jiudan in October and won the Champion Chess Cup, and in mid-December, he won the title of the first national player. However, in the second round of the CCTV Cup Quick Chess Tournament in November, Ding Hao lost to Peng Liyao in the middle game, and the outcome of this game is still unpredictable.
Ding Hao, who was in charge of white, adopted a large-scale tactic in this game, and fought fiercely with the number of black chess pieces that Peng Liyao had entered the position in the middle abdomen, and it was still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in the middle of the game. During the battle, both sides were unaware of the black chess means below, and Peng Liyao 127 played a vicious hand, gradually losing control of the chess game. In the final dragon attack and defense battle, Peng Liyao's strength was not caught, and he chose to kill Bai Qi below 145, almost crushing it.
Broadcaster's soft and gentle overall comment: the white wins in the middle of the game. Let me pause for a moment to bring a summary later. The opening two sides go their separate ways, 40 is the first battle of the game, the two sides reach an agreement, form a conversion, in the lower offensive and defensive battles, white judgment problems occur, and black chess takes the advantage. 120 giant spoons, but the black chess did not catch the mistake of white, and finally in the big dragon attack and defense, helpless jade shattered, congratulations to Ding Hao for winning, tomorrow against the bully, today's live broadcast is here.
Gu Zihao has not been defeated in this year's domestic finals, and has won the Tianyuan Battle, the Ah Han Tong Shan Cup and the Dragon Star Battle Championship. However, the historical record of Mi Yuting led Gu Zihao 13:8, both chess players are famous for "Gang", and the progress of this game is also like Mars hitting the earth.
Gu Zihao took the lead in the black and quickly occupied the four corners. Mi Yuting's 42 and 48 hands are full of momentum, and the battle intention is unobstructed on the chessboard. After that, the two sides launched a wonderful battle in the middle abdomen, Gu Zihao strongly broke the white chess piece and broke his own retreat, and when he surrounded the right white chess piece, he also collided with the left white space. Intimidated by the broken cauldron of The Gu Emperor, Mi Yuting had to switch into the corner, and Gu Zihao 101 grabbed the official in the upper right corner, at this time, it was difficult for Mi Yuting to close the air. Below 102 of white chess, Mi Yuting intended to aim at the black chess thin taste of chess, 106 leaned, 108 to set a trap, seemingly exquisite, but was Gu Zihao played 109, 111, "chess hand tendons" was taken all according to the order. Both sides knew the result, and the chess game was conceded to 181 hands.
Broadcaster Poison Milk Mushroom General Comment: Do not rob HHH to give himself a chance to be kind HHH Gu bullies from now on are Gu Da good people. Mi Yuting knew that he had a good bet, and Gu Zihao reached the final. A very intense innings, both sides pulled their tough style full. The most exciting link should be from the beginning of the black 47 shoulder rush, Mi Yuting backhand a town, the imagination of the idea broke through the sky. Just when he thought it was the Cosmic Stream Battle Method, Gu Zihao's 59 hands clicked into the counterattack. White 76 touched the first hand to make up the chess, black 79 pulled out not to show weakness, the following two sides unexpectedly reached a balance. Bai 96 threatened the black chess, emphasizing the aftertaste of the black chess in the air, but Gu Zihao's decisive calculation and judgment were accurate. Black 101 is also a winning move, using powerful calculations to prop up the big air. The white 106 and 108 chess pieces were like moths to the fire, and they were all accepted by the two hands of black 107 and 109 that flashed cold light, and the chess game ended instantly.
