[DhtmlXQ_comment0]sg 1981 Best Chen Xiaokun D GM Li Laiqun||Out of a total of 175 games,this particular game was selected as the best played game in 1981. The panel of judges included Xie Xiaxun, Tu Jingming, Liu Guobin, Chen Songshun...all very respectable Xiangqi greats in their own right. ||This game was designated the best played game because :||1) In the opening, both sides moved their pieces very carefully and used non-classical variations, and both were very aggressive||2) there was a fierce battle in midgame going to and fro||3) and there were many highlights in the endgame.||Although this game was not without it flaws,it is considered one of the best games played.[/DhtmlXQ_comment0]
[DhtmlXQ_comment1]The battle begins.[/DhtmlXQ_comment1]
[DhtmlXQ_comment10]This was and is still one of the most used openings for both red and black.[/DhtmlXQ_comment10]
[DhtmlXQ_comment20]This elephant move was something new at that time. Traditionally, E3+5 was the move played. With E7+5, black can prevent red from moving R6+5 to block the elephant's eye and catching the cannon at the same time.It also has the added benefit of preventing Red's H6+7 and then H7+9 for an attack as black can now defend with E3+1.[/DhtmlXQ_comment20]
[DhtmlXQ_comment24]Li Laiqun starts the fray. With this move, Not only does black apply pressure on the elephant, it also allows R1=2 for better developement of the pieces. A farsighted move![/DhtmlXQ_comment24]
[DhtmlXQ_comment27]Both sides go at each other, trying to maneuver their major pieces to the best possible places.||Any tiny mistake by either side would have grave consequences now. The margin for error is getting thinner and thinner.||Chen uses his ranked chariots decisively.||Other possible alternatives for black include P5+1, P7+1, H6+7,H6+5 but are basically not as good as this move.[/DhtmlXQ_comment27]
[DhtmlXQ_comment28]Li refused to be on the receiving end and tries to find an opening to try to turn the tables. After over 30 mintues of intense thinking ,[/DhtmlXQ_comment28]
[DhtmlXQ_comment29]Red boldly moves both elephants to the side![/DhtmlXQ_comment29]
[DhtmlXQ_comment32]Li refused to be on the receiving end and tries to find an opening to try to turn the tables. After over 30 mintues of intense thinking , while Chen moves his chariot to protect his horse. Li does not care about his weakened left flank and throws caution to the wind. ||Li decides to push his horse forward, offering a sacrifice while trying attack Chen's very weka left flank.[/DhtmlXQ_comment32]
[DhtmlXQ_comment35]If red did not make this move, R6=4 would also be another viable alternative.[/DhtmlXQ_comment35]
[DhtmlXQ_comment37]After deploying their forces, the intensity of the game increases. Blood is about to be spilt.[/DhtmlXQ_comment37]
[DhtmlXQ_comment44]Most players would move R5-1!||But Li Laiqun had different ideas. With this chariot, he sacrfices his horse to try to concentrate his forces on red's relatively weak flank for an all out attack.||This is one of the highlights of the games.[/DhtmlXQ_comment44]
[DhtmlXQ_comment45]After much thinking, Chen accepts this offer and immediately the intensity is raised to the next level.[/DhtmlXQ_comment45]
[DhtmlXQ_comment58]The past few moves were allowed according the Chinese rules. After a few rounds, Chen decides to break through the deadlock with the material advantageg. Chen prepares to attack the cetral black pawn after giving up the elephant.[/DhtmlXQ_comment58]
[DhtmlXQ_comment59]At this point, Chen had two choices, ||1) C5+4 and 2) H5+6.||C5+4 was relatively more simple and direct. ||H5+6 would be more aggressive but also more treacherous for both sides. There would be no room for error if H5+6 was played. ||After much consideration, Chen decided to play the cannon. ||Please click on the variation below to see what might have happened if Chen played H5+6.[/DhtmlXQ_comment59]
[DhtmlXQ_comment65]!!![/DhtmlXQ_comment65]
[DhtmlXQ_comment67]!!![/DhtmlXQ_comment67]
[DhtmlXQ_comment69]!!!||Rather than be impeded by other pieces in the palace, Chen moves his king to the cannon rank boldly! This is rarely seen in actual play and even less so when Red makes the moves willingly.[/DhtmlXQ_comment69]
[DhtmlXQ_comment74]Chen continues his attack with more confidence. ||On the otherhand, Li tries to complicate the situation in the hope of finding a better way to win the game.||Chen knows he has the game under control, so he moves the king 3 consecutive moves to the cannon rank. ||Li, on seeing that the king has moved forward, tries to attack from behind by joining the cannons at the bottom rank.||Seldom, if ever, does both sides play such moves in actual competition.[/DhtmlXQ_comment74]
[DhtmlXQ_comment75]Some have suggested that P7+1 would be a much better move, allowing red to increase his advantage..[/DhtmlXQ_comment75]
[DhtmlXQ_comment82]Some time had passed. ||According to the Chinese rules, each side has to move >=40 moves within a span of 1.5h each. ||Both sides are under pressure and start moving their pieces with increased speed as they had less time to think.||After a series of exchanges, red has effectively broken the link the black cannons had and thus eliminated any disadvantage that he had material wise.[/DhtmlXQ_comment82]
[DhtmlXQ_comment105]Chen forces Li's king to the roof top of the palace also![/DhtmlXQ_comment105]
[DhtmlXQ_comment108]Chen makes his moves brilliantly and forces the king to an undesirable position.||Critics suggest that Li should have moved R6=5 instead to control the center, before taking this pawn. Although Li is still one major piece down, his 7th file pawn would start to become a menace.||Li was under time pressure and played E5+3 instinctively instead. Now Li is in deep trouble![/DhtmlXQ_comment108]
[DhtmlXQ_comment109]Chen takes control of the center![/DhtmlXQ_comment109]
[DhtmlXQ_comment121]Time pressure had Chen make a mistake of his own... K5+1 would not have lost the advisor.[/DhtmlXQ_comment121]
[DhtmlXQ_comment125]Good move! The red chariot tries to capture the pesky black pawn.[/DhtmlXQ_comment125]
[DhtmlXQ_comment135]In retrospect, this was a bad move, although red tries to attack from another direction. ||K5=4 to try to catch the advisor would be a better alternative, according to critics. ||Please click on the following variation to understand why.[/DhtmlXQ_comment135]
[DhtmlXQ_comment137]Chen decides to save the pawn and use it for further attack. Unfortunately, Chen had not counted on the astounding changes that were going to happen.[/DhtmlXQ_comment137]
[DhtmlXQ_comment140]Up till this stage, Red has been the aggressor.||After some contemplation, Li makes this bold and brilliant move! ||Now black is able to return a kill with a counterkill...thus throwing a wrench into red's attacking plans.[/DhtmlXQ_comment140]
[DhtmlXQ_comment149]Chen thinks that after offering the last pawn to Li, he could make this move with a hidden kill of R4+1 K6+1, and mate with C2=4.||But Li had been waiting ! ||After the game, it has been suggested that Chen should have moved C2-7 for the kill, and would thus have protected the pawn![/DhtmlXQ_comment149]
[DhtmlXQ_comment166]Black pins the cannon and chariot!||Black's central cannon move a few steps earlier now proves its worth. ||There are no advisors left for red, and the threat of the cannons are thus greatly weakenend.||Chen had calculated that he could still use the last remaining elephant to provide a link for the red cannons. So Chen makes the final bid...[/DhtmlXQ_comment166]
[DhtmlXQ_comment190]Li attempts to exchange one chariot or both cannons if need be and force a draw with 1r d 2a2e.||Even if it meant sacrificing 2a or 2e, black could still hold off red's attack with with 2c1a or 2c1e against red's solitary chariot. ||They decided to call it a day.||The actual game lasted 133 moves...[/DhtmlXQ_comment190]
[DhtmlXQ_comment1_137]And the black advisor is lost. Once it is lost, red would be not far away from victory.[/DhtmlXQ_comment1_137]
[DhtmlXQ_comment2_137]Red would almost have the game under his belt now should he have made this move.[/DhtmlXQ_comment2_137]
[DhtmlXQ_comment3_60]The following moves were suggested...[/DhtmlXQ_comment3_60]
[DhtmlXQ_comment3_71]Red would have the advantage.[/DhtmlXQ_comment3_71]
[DhtmlXQ_comment4_73]Red would be the aggressor.||Nevertheless, black has a fierce attack of his own.[/DhtmlXQ_comment4_73]
[DhtmlXQ_comment5_39]Although the variations that follow are complex, Red still has the advantage.[/DhtmlXQ_comment5_39]
[DhtmlXQ_comment6_29]Red would be the aggressor now!||Black has to return a major piece and the pawn has advanced rather deeply at such an early stage of the game.[/DhtmlXQ_comment6_29]
