Translation and Finishing: Make Excuses for Quiet Happy New Year
Happy New Year, everyone.
All the title battles that I participated in last year finally won the title and ushered in the new year as a five-crowned person. In addition to the chess holy war, the other 4 games of Ben infang, Qisheng, Celebrity and Throne are all down to the decider. There have been very difficult chess games, but they have all stubbornly fought.
Facing challenger Shibano Tiger Maru in the Battle of Ben ino, Shanghai, who was forced into a desperate situation with a total score of 1 win and 3 losses, thought that defending the title was already very difficult. After losing the 4th set, he was given a match point, and a day later he participated in the first round of armor as a foreign aid, defeating the top chess player Sheiko Jiudan in the most difficult situation. After winning this game of chess, the whole person was also very active, and the last 3 consecutive wins achieved 10 consecutive championships in Ben in fang.
Both the Jihad and the Celebrity Wars are facing a force. Yili Liao's technical level is very high, and the emotion of winning can be felt on the opposite side of the chessboard. The Throne Challenger decided to fight the same opponent, and then in the third set of the Celebrity War, the mid-set stage was still dominant, but it was reversed by going too solid in the back. Later, I wanted to never lose chess in this way again, and with this mentality, I faced the throne battle and played my due level. This put an end to his bad state.
The same is true of Shibano Tiger Maru in Goban. In the first game, after eating the central chess tendons, he took the advantage. But Shibano Tiger Maru began to stubbornly recover the situation from here. Although he won the game of chess, he felt the strength of Shibano Tiger Maru.
The battle of the throne has also reached the decider, and the 5th game can be said to be a heart-to-heart game. In fact, before the match, because it was the fourth tiebreaker last year, I was also worried about "whether I was going to lose this time". This game of chess is white, Shibano Tiger Maru, forming a shape from above to the right. At this time, black chess has an A bit to eliminate the appearance of white chess, and there are good points in B bit stickers. In actual combat, I chose a means that can single-handedly drive the overall pattern.
Black 1 is a test player, this situation is indeed only white 2, and then black 5 touches one to start attacking, line to black 19 Although the black chess pieces are also broken, but the white chess in the upper left corner is very thin, so it is difficult for white chess to attack black chess. After that, if the white chess piece starts to attack the upper left corner of the 4 subs, the appearance of the white chess piece will naturally be eliminated.
The situation at the end of this game is also very subtle, and the closing situation is also very complicated. Although the Central Black Chess Dragon was attacked, it successfully entered the white sky, and then successfully moved the chess, and finally regained the throne title.
Before the 4th round of the Battle of the Throne, he participated in the Nongshim Cup ring match between China, Japan and South Korea, and won 4 consecutive victories in the second stage. I also did not expect that in the face of China's Fan Tingyu Jiudan, South Korea's Shin Minyuan Jiudan and other top chess players can have such achievements, it can be said that it is the highlight of last year.
After the age of 30, I began to care about the state of mind and body. I started mental skills training 3 years ago, and gradually saw the effect. There are still many competitions at home and abroad this year, but each game of chess is the accumulation of one hand and one hand. I will readjust my mood and continue to improve my strength.
