In the cross-elimination match yesterday afternoon, Cao Yanlei and Jiang Chuan passed a playoff blitz to win Shen Peng and Wang Tianyi respectively, and joined the finals. In the first game of today’s final, Cao Yanlei took the lead against Jiang Chuan. He continued to use the Chinese artillery layout that defeated Shen Peng yesterday. Jiang Chuan chose to grab seven pawns and avoid the three-pawn system. Cao Yanlei thought for a moment, and then jumped up his left horse after he swung the cart across the river. The two sides formed a classic battlefield of the Zhongpao River Crossing Seven-Road Horse and the Bingfeng Horse with two snakes. Black was fully prepared, and the layout of the red side could not be taken advantage of. After a big exchange in the middle game, the horse artillery and the horse artillery pawns formed a slightly better endgame for the black side. After a slight entanglement, the two sides retreated from Mingjin.
In the second game, the two sides changed to play extra games first. Jiang Chuan also set up a position of entering three soldiers from the middle artillery, and the two sides moved quickly. In the middle of the game, the red side was ingenious. The red artillery repeatedly aimed at the black double bishops in the third and middle lanes. The black side was forced to respond poorly under pressure, and the red side gained the advantage. An endgame in which the horses, guns, and soldiers are full, and the red side is in an excellent position. However, due to time constraints, the red side suddenly made a calculation error and was killed by the black side, and then the black side horse was caught to death by the red side. Endgame. Although the red team was about to win the 190 round after a long period of fierce battle, it has already exceeded the number of rounds naturally occurring in the 50 rounds. After facing Shen Peng yesterday, Cao Yanlei escaped again with tenacious willpower and dragged the suspense of the championship into super fast chess.
In the third game, the two sides once again changed to play extra blitz. Cao Yanlei rushed to support the three soldiers this time. The two sides were familiar with the road. It once again evolved into yesterday’s three-step tiger start against Shen Peng. However, Jiang Chuan was also prepared for this layout, and the red side failed to take the lead. The two sides had a big exchange in the middle game, forming an endgame with two soldiers, two soldiers, two soldiers, three soldiers, two soldiers, and two soldiers. Although the black side has one more pawn for the time being, the red side has a good position and the two sides shook hands again and made peace.
In the fourth round of the final, a play-off will be taken. The red side will take 6 minutes and the black side will take 4 minutes. Each move will add 3 seconds, and the black side will win with a draw. In the play-offs, both sides draw lots to determine the hands of the play-offs. Jiang Chuan draws a lot of points and chooses to hold the back hand, as long as the top tie can win the championship. In the life-and-death battle, Cao Yanlei adopted the best way to guide the immortals, and Jiang Chuan should fight him. Because Cao Yanlei must win to win the championship, the red team jumped to the horse Panhe in the 5th round, intending to win by surprise. The black side was short on time and failed to think carefully about the start, which gave the red side a big advantage. The black side tried to simplify the situation as much as possible, and after some exchanges, an endgame was formed in which the three soldiers of the red car and gun were all against the black side and the two soldiers and the soldiers. At first glance, it seems that there is only one more soldier, but the red side artillery town middle road, the car locks the door, and there are river soldiers participating in the battle, the situation of Black is not optimistic. Sure enough, the red car blitzed the black veteran to the second floor, and then took advantage of the poor position of the black car to rush into the 9th house. It was difficult for Black to defend and unfortunately lost. In the end, Cao Yanlei defeated Jiang Chuan in the playoffs to win the championship after 4 sets of battles, and Jiang Chuan won the runner-up.
With three or four finalists in the professional men’s group, Wang Tianyi played first against Shen Peng. Wang Tianyi used the Shijiao Cannon at the beginning of the game, and Shen Peng should use the right center cannon. In the 6th round, the red side was fully prepared, deliberately seeking change, and chose the relatively remote right cannon to move to the left, enticing the black side to attack its left horse. Sure enough, the black side swept the car across the river to suppress the red horse, and the red side was in the middle of his arms. Without thinking about it, the red abandoned the horse decisively, and the eight-way artillery rushed to the second lane. The artillery hit the black pawn with all the shots, and then the car went to the bottom line, which put a lot of pressure on the black right wing. Black had no choice but to mobilize his left car to assist in the defense. He didn’t want the red side to swing the artillery, then abandon one more, and completely tore the black line of defense. It was difficult for Black to parry. In the end, a situation in which the two soldiers of the car and the artillery and the four soldiers on the black side were defeated was formed. Wang Tianyi defeated Shen Peng in the first slow game and won the third place, Shen Peng’s third place.
In the professional women’s team, because Tang Dan had a small lead before the game, he could win the game as long as he was undefeated. Therefore, Tang Dan did not provoke a war in this game. Although Black was in a slightly better situation, he failed to make a breakthrough. In the end, Tang Dan drew with Chen Xinglin and successfully won the championship. Wang Linna and Zuo Wenjing won the runner-up and third runner-up respectively.
