Go Legend

   Chapter 280 Hunger

   The date of the competition was finally approaching. Li Xiangping set off from his hometown alone, made several transfers, and finally arrived at the competition venue, Shencheng.

   "Xiang Ping, are you here?"

   "Hey, why do I feel like I haven't seen each other for a few months, Xiang Ping seems to have gained weight."

   "Yes, not only did I gain weight, but it seems to have grown a little taller."

   After all, because of the extraordinary period, the entire arena seemed relatively deserted. Apart from the necessary organizers and staff, Li Xiangping didn't even see a few reporters. And these organizers and staff are of course senior people in the circle, such as Lao Wang, president of the chess academy, elder Jin, the chief referee of this tournament, and Zhang Wendong, director of the competition department of the chess academy.

   After everyone saw Li Xiangping, they all came over to greet him affectionately, and said that Li Xiangping was "fat".

   Li Xiang said that of course, they were raised as pigs by grandparents for a few months, how could they be worthy of their two elderly people if they didn't gain weight.

   "Hello Mr. Jin."

  Li Xiangping also perfunctory to others, only to Lao Jin, he specially greeted with a smile.

   "You kid, haha, haha"

   Lao Jin patted Li Xiangping on the shoulder affectionately, and said nothing else, saying nothing.

   During the emergency, everything was kept simple. After the arrival of other chess players, the organizer did not organize other ceremonies. Anyway, the accommodation and competition were all in the same hotel. After everything was settled, just wait for the start of the competition.

  On the second day after Li Xiangping arrived in Shencheng, the quarterfinals of the 16th "Fujitsu Cup" officially started.

   Before entering the arena, Li Xiangping joked with himself: "Hehe Ding'an brother, I have tried to combine two swords for 2 months, and suddenly I have to play alone again. I don't know if I can get used to it today."

   "Xiangping Xiaoyou is joking. You haven't touched a chess piece for so long. I think you've been eager to try it, and you want to play a big game today."

Li Xiangping smiled and stopped talking. The real situation is indeed like this. He hasn't been face to face with people for so long. Now Li Xiangping is indeed a little hungry. He is really eager to try it out. "Swords combined" is good, what can I do by myself alone?

   At 9:50 in the morning, Li Xiangping was almost 10 minutes early, and he had already taken his seat. 3 minutes later, "Cui Du" with a baby face walked in. Looking at his baby face, Li Xiangping couldn't figure out one thing.

   In real history, Xiao Cui seems to be called "Old Man Cui" by many people, but how did this nickname come from? You mean his looks? This style of painting is obviously wrong, is it referring to his style of chess? This seems to be even more wrong, so Li Xiangping really doesn't understand, how did the nickname "Old Man" come out? Could this guy be good at pushing carts?

Just in the middle of such cranky thoughts, Lao Jin walked in. He presided over the two sides to guess first. In this game, Li Xiangping guessed the black chess. At 10:00 in the morning, Lao Jin announced the official start of the game, and Li Xiangping began to concentrate. It is the kind of real "concentration", he drove all other messy thoughts out of his mind, leaving only the chessboard in front of him, and when he officially entered the state of the game, he made the first move of the game.

   The opening is not too new. Today's opening, Li Xiangping sacrificed his personal favorite "star position, small eyes and two high jumps and corners".

Although this "Xiaomu Erjian High Jumping and Jijiao" can be regarded as a "dog trick", but since last year's "Nongxin Cup", Li Xiangping has frequently used this trick, and he has won several times with this trick. After the market, this routine is not new.

At that time last year, Li Xiangping could even regard this game as a "King Bomb", but now, this chess shape has long been familiar to everyone, and some related offenses and defenses have also been thoroughly studied by the professional Go community. As far as chess players are concerned, this opening has actually been completely reduced to general merchandise.

It was precisely because it was the start of the big rookie, so at the beginning of the game, everyone in the research room seemed to have nothing to do. It happened that Lao Jin slipped back to the viewing room, so everyone listened to him and talked about "the death and the death". The glorious deeds of the old TOM.

"Hey, do you know who put two sons in front of Xiangping that day? Later I asked clearly, it was Qiu Jun, it was Brother Niu Qiu Jun! Let's talk about Qiu Jun, his talent may be better than Gu Kong's. The two of them are slightly inferior, but they are also a strong faction, they are the best of their group, but even he is so incredible, Li Xiangping is really incredible"

Speaking of this Lao Jin shook his head again and again, it seems that until now, he can't believe that Li Xiangping really let "Brother Niu" move the two sons: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, when Xiangping first appeared, I also disapprove of some of the media's remarks, saying that geniuses are rare in a century? How can there be so many rare talents in this world? But now, I don't think the media's statement is too exaggerated, but it seems too modest, Xiang How old is the screen now? It seems to have just turned 16, right? It is so strong at such an age.”

   Speaking of this Lao Jin, he shook his head again, as if at this moment, he couldn't find the right words to describe Li Xiangping's awesomeness.

  Obviously, the two handicap games of "death and survival" were considered to have completely stunned Lao Jin. If you think about it, this is very normal. What many people don't know is that "Brother Niu" is also a master at making chess. That is often the opportunity to ask Niu Ge for a few dishes.

In the past, their chess shares basically swayed between 2 stones and 3 stones, but Lao Jin had self-knowledge, he knew that if Brother Niu played with him seriously, he would not be able to stop himself with only 2 stones. Putting 3 sons is a good outcome.

However, a person who can make himself three sons has to put two sons in front of another person. What's more, that guy is still so young, he just turned 16 years old this year, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.”斺��

   Needless to say, it is completely conceivable how much impact Lao Jin will be hit.

  Compared to Lao Jin, the two professional chess players Wang Lunan and Zhang Wendong were not affected so much.

Dean Wang doesn't usually surf the Internet much, so this is the first time he heard about it today. Although he felt very surprised when he heard it, but he didn't experience it at the scene after all, and he didn't read the two games of chess. Therefore, his feelings are not so deep:

   "Oh really? Xiang Ping even won a game? Not bad, at least it means that he has not been idle during this period of time, which makes me feel a lot more relieved about today's game."

   Seeing Dean Wang's understatement, this made Lao Jin a little anxious. Just when he was about to speak again, Zhang Wendong seemed to see through his thoughts and inserted a sentence next to him with a smile:

"Hehe, Mr. Jin, you must have heard about the "Beninfang plus one" in Japan back then, so let's make things like chess, sometimes you really can't take it too seriously. Of course, Xiangping's talent is nothing to say. Now, he may be beyond the existence of Mr. Wu, but if you say that he can make Brother Niu two sons now."

   The so-called "Honinbo plus one" is an allusion of Go in the last century. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a professional four-dan in Japan named Kohei Inoue. This person's handicap is very good, how good is he?

At that time, the first player in Japanese Go was Hideya. This was the only nine-dan at that time, and it was also the last hereditary Beninfang in Japan. Hideya could make 4 pieces, and this Inoue Kohei could make 5 pieces. If Xiuya could make 5 pieces, this Kohei Inoue can give up 6 sons.

   It is precisely because of this that over time, the fourth dan of Kohei Inoue has won the reputation of "benign square plus one".

However, making the chess skills great does not mean that the pairing skills are also great. Take this Mr. Ben Yinfang Plus One as an example. If he himself encounters Xiuzai, he should honestly put two first and then talk about it.”斺��

   In the real history, the two of them really did it, and from the information they left behind, in the case of the transfer of 2 sons, Mr. Beninfang Jiayi had few wins.

   Now that Zhang Wendong has brought out this allusion to the ninth section, of course he understands the meaning very well, and as a senior person in the circle, Lao Jin certainly understands the meaning in seconds, so he did not continue to talk about it.

   At this time, there were chess records, so President Wang quickly changed the topic:

   "Hehe, here I come, let's watch chess now, I want to take a good look today, to see if Xiang Ping has practiced any new kung fu after 2 months of not seeing each other"

   When Wang Lunan said this, it was actually past 11 am, more than an hour after the start of the game, and more than 30 hands were played.

   At this time, President Wang not only did not see any "new kung fu" of Li Xiangping, but the characteristics of his opponent's chess style, which were vividly displayed in this chess record.

   What are the characteristics of "Cui Du"? That is of course his characteristic of attacking like a snake. When there were more than 20 moves in the game, "Old Man Cui" seemed to have found such an opportunity. Attack, by now, the first frontal contact battle on the chessboard has unfolded.

   "Haha young people are in good health, they have already practiced so early"

  Although it seems that Cui Du has already exerted his own characteristics, but at this time, no one is worried about Li Xiangping—

Because in everyone's opinion, this tit-for-tat style of fighting violence with violence is also the characteristic of Li Xiangping's chess style, and he used this kind of play to defeat Cui Du last year. , In this case, of course no one will worry about Li Xiangping.

   Even at this time, no outsider was surprised by this.

   The reason for emphasizing the "outsider" is that there is also an "inner", which is a little strange at this time.

   This "inner" is of course Lao Shi.

   12:00 noon arrived soon. There were less than 50 moves in total in the morning, and a large-scale frontal contact battle had just started.

  Li Xiangping walked out of the game room, and Lao Shi's voice sounded:

   "Hehe, little friend Xiangping, why do you play like this today? It's not like your usual chess game."

   "I know, this is your chess game, Shi Daqisheng,"

Li Xiangping smiled and replied to his cheat: "Brother Ding'an, you don't even know, this has been held for 2 months, so I am extremely hungry now and eager to have a head-to-head battle with my opponent. In this case, of course I have to use Your brother Ding'an is good at tricks."

   Seventh Uncle is only a chapter of water, how do you feel that you will not be able to write competitions?

   Well, Seventh Uncle actually wanted to say that there is only one chapter today.
