The first score - the trio of friends (1~35)
Time: 30 points for black, 20 points for white
These two people can be said to have been good friends since childhood.
Both of them are from Hokkaido . In terms of age, Shinji Suzuki is one year older. However, Suzuki Shinji only started playing Go when he was in the senior grade of elementary school. He was a late starter among the players who became professional Go players. So in terms of chess age, Fujida Akihiko is considered a senior.
The commentator for this game is Tomoya Hirata 7th Dan. In the early days, these three people often played together. However, due to the impact of the epidemic in recent years, and the fact that Fujita Akihiko and Hirata Tomoya both have lifelong partners, the surrounding situation has changed, so we don't get together as frequently as before.
What is surprising is that in the key game, these two players played against each other for the first time. Before the game, both players said: "I am looking forward to today's game." This game of chess is a key battle that determines whether you can break into the challenger's decisive battle.
black 1 to white 4 form a diagonal. The layout stage gives the feeling that a fierce battle is about to begin.
White's 16 move is pressing, while Black's 17 begins to apply pressure from above. After white 18 and black 19 exchanged, white 20 to white 22 flanked, and then went directly to white 26 to break black's piece. This game of chess suddenly entered a complicated situation.
Tomoya Hirata said: "This situation will not be played out quickly even if it is prepared before the game. Because it is difficult for White to have a satisfactory result, but for Fujida Akihiko, the changes here are already very familiar." Generally speaking, in the move of white 18, one is added in the A position.
Actual combat Shinji Suzuki blocks black 31 strongly.
The second score - Steady Chess (36~66)
Time: Black 1 hour and 06 minutes, White 47 minutes
White 36 After the break, a catastrophe that was difficult to clean up began. The difficulty with tribulation is that you still need to judge the gains and losses after the conversion. In the layout stage, there are not many robbery materials, so all the time to consider is used to judge the situation.
Faced with White 38's threat, Black 43 chose to stick. But Tomoya Hirata said: "This exchange is cheap for White. There is a slightly better way to play here." Then the following change diagram is given.
Faced with White 6’s calamity, Black 7 chooses to eliminate the calamity. Then Black 9 and White 10 go their separate ways. "The conversion here is white's advantage, and there is a way to retain the robbery from black A to black G in the upper left corner."
Fujida Akihiko is not optimistic about the situation at this time, which can be realized when Bai 58 entered. When they reached Bai 66, neither side had a chance to breathe, so they immediately came down to continue fighting.
The third spectrum - the overall vision (67~104)
Time: Black 2 hours and 00 minutes, White 1 hour and 42 minutes
Black's chess is not blindly choosing to defend when facing the battle that White's chess is unfolding below. Seeing that the white chess on the left has some flaws, I started to divide the white chess from black 67 and continued to expand the battlefield.
However, when the move reached White 78, when I thought I would continue to play on the left, Black 79 and Black 81 chose a retreat below. I think the black piece on the left created some flavor, but it was not enough to be completely eaten by white.It is the style of a professional chess player to not only focus on local battles but not forget the overall situation.
For Fujida Akihiko, it depends on how to attack the black piece on the left. In actual combat, White 82 and White 84 attacked White on a large scale, but Tomoya Hirata said: "After Black 85, I feel that Black's chess is good, but I always feel that White's attack is a bit in vain. It might be better if I cross back from White 1 to Black 8, and then White seizes the big position first."
In actual combat, Black 85 to Black 91, Black formed a live shape on the left. White 96 and White 98 blocked the black chess on the left, and White 102 formed an external force. This result is quite similar to the reference picture, but the result of the reference picture is that white moves first, but in actual combat, white moves second. Judging from the result that Black can seize the big picture later, Tomoya Hirata believes: "This result is that Black is easy to play."
The fourth score - "Too skinny" (105~127)
Time: Black 2 hours and 29 minutes, White 2 hours and 18 minutes
got the upper hand in the battle on the left with black, taking the lead in grabbing the big spot with black 5 in the lower right corner. Black starts to move on the right at this time, and then puts pressure on White in the lower right corner. This is also the best big position in the game.
Fujida Akihiko began to strengthen his midsection from White 6. White played very steadily here. Black may have been affected as well, and also made up for it at Black 7. However, Tomoya Hirata said: "This move is too solid." In actual combat, White 8 gained a huge amount of real space.
The word "skin" seems to have a bit of a vulgar meaning in Go. Compared with "thick", which has a more positive taste, "skin" feels a bit too thick.
When Shinji Suzuki was playing Black 7, he considered referring to the move Black 1 in the picture. But after White 2 to Black 5, Suzuki Shinji said: "Seeing White 6, you can capture Black's 3 pieces." If Black has 7, he can indeed capture 3 Black pieces from White 8 to White 14, but Black 15 discards 3 pieces. If Black 17 removes the edge when White is 16, Black's pieces are actually acceptable.
In actual combat, black 9 and white 10 directly broke into the midsection. Black 11 to Black 17 surrounded White's chess in the lower right corner, and White 18's move was very impressive. From Black 23 to Black 27, he pursues the lower right corner, and the robbery begins.
The fifth score - Unwilling to compromise (128~157)
Time: 2 hours and 51 minutes for black, 2 hours and 43 minutes for white
Professional chess players do not hate tribulation, because if you compromise even slightly, you may lose the game. When White is at 28, it is still safe to add the chess piece to White A, but this is only an insurance policy. White 28 to White 42 continue to choose tribulation.
saw less and less calamity material, and Suzuki Shinji now aimed at the thin midriffs of Black 43 and Black 45. Facing the move of Black 47, Fujida Akihiko made up for the move with White 48 in the middle.
But Tomoya Hirata said: "When White is 48, it is calmer to make up the chess piece on White 1. The break from Black 2 to Black 6 is Tesuji . Although the midsection can be broken after Black 14, if White 15 makes up the chess piece, the situation of the game is still balanced."
After Black pulled 49, the white chess piece in the lower right corner could no longer move. At this time, it became a catastrophic battle in which white chess piece could not give in.
Black 57 aimed at the B position. At this time, White made a mistake.
The sixth score - Illusion (158~183)
Time: 30 points for black, 20 points for white
In actual combat, white 58 and white 60 made up the chess, which turned out to be a losing move. After black 61 pulled out the flowers, Fujida Akihiko realized his illusion. Then he looked at the ceiling slightly.
After black 61 pulled out the flowers, he temporarily chose to eliminate the tribulation, and black's real space also increased. White 62 to White 72 is the order. Although you can continue to rob, the significance of this robbery is completely different compared to the previous robbery. If white loses this battle, all the white chess in the lower right corner will be captured. If Black loses, he will lose almost nothing.In other words, it is a worry-free disaster for Black.
Tomoya Hirata said: “The move of White 58 should be chosen as the move of White 1”. If you draw flowers on Black 2 as in actual combat, White 3 to Black 8 and then White 9 is a good move. After that, White A can directly activate the chess piece, so if Black 10 breaks the eye, White 11 to White 15 can contact the midfielder. Therefore, White 1 cannot play on Black 2, otherwise the calamity battle with a heavier burden on Black will continue.
White's chess, which has less robbery material, can only choose white 80 and white 82. However, if black chess captures the white chess in the lower right corner, the benefit is obviously greater than that of the white chess in the upper left corner. After Black 83 removed the edge from above, Black won.
seventh score - Suzuki Shinji Group B champion (1~293)
time: black 2 hours and 59 minutes, white 2 hours and 59 minutes
When the black 183 was on, the gap between real and empty was already huge. Fujida Akihiko successively won the game with white 186, 196 and white 204, but Suzuki Shinji calmly dealt with them all.
Tomoya Hirata said: "Black 203 is really tolerant, and you can feel the determination not to lose this game." Fujida Akihiko seemed to be compiling his mood and continued to finish calmly.
After the game, Fujida Akihiko said: "White 22's offense doesn't feel very good, but I really want to give it a try." Fujida Akihiko, who likes to study, started to make plans in the layout stage, which shows his determination in key battles. In addition, he met Shinji Suzuki, whom he had known since childhood, and his mood was definitely different. But he also said: "I made a mistake in the lower right corner. I actually want to play better in this game."
Shinji Suzuki said: "Originally the goal was to avoid relegation after entering Group B. I had a great time playing this game and hope I can go further."
