In the fourth round, Li Yiting confronted the northeastern general Meng Liguo. This Meng Liguo is brave and fierce, and often uses the elephant to break the opponent's royal city in the game, so the chess circles are called "elephant killing experts". Facing this kind of rose killing style chess player, Li Yiting has always attacked the rose and killed with killing, and is never soft. This game of chess is an example. The two sides began with a middle artillery cross-river car against the screen horse, and although Li Yiting was a black man, he was proactive from the beginning, especially when he entered the car, the other side blocked the eyes of the other side, and secretly ambushed the means of attacking the army at any time, which made Lu Liguo feel helpless for a while.
Sure enough, in the war-torn confrontation, Lu Liguo, an extremely sensitive "elephant killer", was also worried about his own loss of appearance, first he retreated from the side of the horse in grievance, and then he was afraid that Li Yiting's four eldest sons would form a trend of returning to the side, and as a result, he impatiently walked out of the car to change the defeat of the double. Although this decision temporarily eased Li Yiting's powerful offensive on the left wing, it was actually just a drink to quench his thirst, because Li Yiting not only had the strong material strength of the double car, but the key was that each son was in an excellent strategic position. The following battle Li Yiting can be said to be watertight, without giving Meng Liguo a chance. In the end, Li Yiting destroyed the opponent's defense line with a wonderful abandonment of the cannon and destroyed the opponent's defense line, and was able to pass the pass smoothly.
At the same time, Yang Guanxuan surprised his troops and defeated Wu Yanfu with the Layout of Doushun Cannons that he rarely used in his own time. In this way, the two males are still inseparable for the time being.
In the fifth round, Yang Guanxuan took advantage of the victory to pursue, and won a horse against his opponent in the confrontation, thus defeating Ma Kuan relatively easily, while Li Yiting was forced to make peace by Liu Jianqing in Sichuan. Liu Jianqing's strategy in this battle was very successful, that is, "let the wind and waves rise, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai" and avoid fierce battles with Li Yiting. Li Yiting took the lead in this game, attacking Liu Jianqing's screen horse with his most experienced middle cannon patrol river cannon. In the layout stage, Liu Jianqing chose the most stable variation of the left artillery patrol river, and then took the initiative to abandon the pawn to seek a match. In the face of such an attitude of his opponent, Li Yiting also seemed a little helpless: just take a "hello and I am good", and I am afraid of falling behind Yang Guanxuan; force it, the conditions are obviously not mature, the situation is out of control, and there is still a possibility that he will lose his hand, then it will be even more a big loss. Thinking left and right, Li Yiting decided to take one step at a time and react to changes on the fly, if it is really necessary and indispensable, there is no way to do it. Liu Jianqing seemed to be determined to play a game of chess, and in the subsequent game, he was mainly stable everywhere, trying to find opportunities to exchange, and finally the two sides were weak and weak, completely powerless to fight again. In this way, from the fifth round, the points between Li Yiting and Yang Guanxuan were opened. Now, Li Yiting's disadvantage is not only the gap in points, but also his opponents in the last two rounds, Wang Jialiang and Yang Guanxuan, both of whom are hard bones and very difficult to deal with.
In such a situation, when facing Wang Jialiang in the sixth round, Li Yiting had to fight desperately. But I didn't want to fight like this, but I created a plate of historical famous games.
This game of chess seems new and chic from the beginning, unexpected. Li Yiting first swung the middle cannon, and Wang Jialiang jumped up his left horse and prepared to take the appearance of a screen horse. This is all normal, and it is also expected by everyone, but from the second round, Wang Jialiang suddenly grabbed the 3-way pawn, and immediately led the chess game to a track that was somewhat unfamiliar to both sides. In such a situation, the credit should be more attributed to Wang Jialiang, because in that era, he was the most important to layout innovation among the masters, and his layout theory and practice were the most advanced among chess players in the same period, and every time there was a competition, there were often new types of "weapons" out of the cage, which made people invincible, which was a secret magic weapon for him to win excellent results.
Now he suddenly grabbed the 3 pawns, indeed prepared, the purpose is to avoid Li Yiting's layout of the seven soldiers, because everyone knows that Li Yiting's cannon patrol river cannon formed by the seven soldiers is infinitely powerful, as Wang Yingliang, who is very sensitive to the layout, he has a deep understanding of this.
Wang Jialiang's rush to score 3 pawns did disrupt Li Yiting's preparations before the game, but Li Yiting was not unfamiliar with this layout, only to see him step by step lay down the five or six cannons of the opposing position, first wait and see the changes. Relatively speaking, the configuration of the five or six cannons is more solid, and Li Yiting's move is also to avoid the layout traps that the opponent has studied before the game. From the beginning of the confrontation, the two masters launched a comprehensive contest of wits and courage.
Wang Jialiang is really worthy of being an innovator in layout, and in this very ordinary formation, he still came out of the unexpected new changes, changed the left artillery patrol car he was used to in the past to a flying elephant, and allowed the other side's two cars to break into the formation. It turned out that he had prepared an exquisite response plan here, and when Li Yiting flattened the car and pressed the horse, he suddenly and creatively returned to the horse's nest and dared to skip people. People with a little knowledge of chess know that "Ma Hui Zhongguan is bound to be trapped", indicating that Ma Hui's nest heart is a big taboo for chess players.
Under normal circumstances, such a method would not be chosen, but Wang Jialiang "turned decay into magic" in this particular situation and retreated to lure the enemy deeper.
After redeeming a car, Wang Jialiang invited another big car, but Li Yiting, as the first party, was willing to easily strike the battle? Flat car avoidance is the natural choice. Next, Li Yiting also had the means to enter the car jam elephant eye and cooperate with the vault to prepare for the killing, which was fierce. Wang Jialiang is also a belligerent person, And Li Yiting's attitude is exactly what he wants, he actually embarked on a sinister road of abandoning his son and seeking attack, and the situation on the table suddenly became both confusing and gripping, and onlookers asked themselves in their hearts: Who will eventually fall off the horse as a result of such a vicious battle? As the saying goes, "Bicycle sleds are fooling around." But Wang Jialiang used the offensive tactics of the single car cannon in this game of chess to be fascinating, taking advantage of the threat opportunity, not only firmly holding Li Yiting's car at the bottom line and unable to move, but also eating several soldiers in one breath, so that his advantage of having 5 pawns was more obvious. At this time, people instead pinched a handful of sweat for Li Yiting, who had many sons.
At this time, the situation did seem to be somewhat unfavorable to Li Yiting, although he had one more son, but the main force was divided so that it seemed that the end was not connected, and the lack of phase was particularly prominent under the attack of the other side's vehicles and artillery. However, in this complicated situation, Li Yiting understood the key point and gently leveled the cannon without hurrying. This is an inconspicuous and wonderful chess move, not only to make the horse road for it to ride the elephant's eyes, but also to retreat and kill the middle gun. This is an active tactic, with a powerful offensive to defuse the crisis in the rear.
In the ensuing battles, Li Yiting used the horse cannon to the fullest, and the two coordinated operations could be called zhu lianbi, which also brought great scruples to Wang Jialiang's rear defense. At such a time, Wang Jialiang could no longer blindly attack, and after wisely exchanging a cannon, both sides had exhausted their strength and had become a positive and harmonious situation, so everyone shook hands and made peace with great joy.
Although the game is over, the good story that leads to it has only begun. (Beijing Evening News) During the First National Games, it was proposed to hold the selection of the "best game of chess" in the Chinese chess competition to encourage chess players to play a better level in the competition. This is still a pioneering undertaking in our country, which has been praised and valued by all sides. The Beijing Evening News hired Zhang Xiongfei, Chen Songshun, Dong Qiliang, Xie Xiaoran, and Xie Xiaxun, five famous players in the chess world, as members of the selection committee. After carefully selecting all the games of the National Games, the judges unanimously elected the battle between Li Yiting and Wang Jialiang as the "best game" of the competition.
The judges believed that the layout of this game of chess was novel, not falling into the norm, and the two sides were looking for the possibility of victory in the complex changes of mutual seeking; the middle game was compact, the fight was fierce, one side abandoned the son to take the lead, and there were several scenes of horror and sinister, gripping, and extremely complicated changes on the chess game; the two sides in the endgame stage, after far-sighted consideration and repeated deliberation, finally turned the danger into a disaster, killing and making peace. In general, the two sides have made a lot of clever moves in this game of chess, basically without errors and omissions, which to a certain extent reflects the development results of China's chess technical level in the past ten years since liberation.
The members of the selection committee collectively discussed and commented, and exchanged views with Li Yiting and Wang Jialiang, two chess players, and the conference referee Chen Peifang participated in the writing, and the original manuscript was listed in full by the (Beijing Evening News) on October 12, 1959; subsequently, the "Sports Daily" on the 15th of the same month and the monthly magazine "Xiangqi" in the November 1959 issue were reprinted successively, and the Beijing Radio Station also broadcast it on television. Such a huge momentum was really a grand event in the chess world at that time, and it played a very good role in promoting the development of this project.
After making peace with Wang Jialiang, Li Yiting accumulated 9 points, but in the same round, Yang Guanxuan and Li Ke Meng Liguo jumped to 11 points, and the distance between the two was further widened, bringing great difficulties to Li Yiting's final catch-up.
