Go Legend

   Chapter 298

   After entering August, as if to pay off the debt in the first half of the year, Li Xiangping suddenly has more games this month.

  Weir armor will be compared for a total of 5 rounds this month.

   The schedule of the "Chunlan Cup" semi-finals has finally been finalized. The competition will be held at the end of this month.

   In addition, the group stage of the "Samsung Cup" competition and the first two rounds of the "LC Cup" competition also started this month as if to join in the fun. Among them, the "Samsung Cup" started earlier in the first half of this month, and the "LG Cup" was a little later and had to wait until the second half of the month.

   Of course, compared with the above competitions, the biggest highlight of this month is also the competition that Li Xiangping values ​​the most, which is of course the "Fujitsu Cup" final in Tokyo on the first weekend of August.

This is not the first game that Li Xiangping participated in in August. On the day of the Army Day, Li Xiangping played a round of Weijia. This is the seventh round of Weijia this year. Li Xiangping is in the Chinese Chess Academy. Ding Wei, the leader of the Yunnan team.

As a result, Li Xiangping played well in this "Fantastic Art" VS "Dragon Flying Tiger" game, and he finally won the mid-game. In this way, he achieved a 5-game winning streak in the Weijia arena, creating a personal The longest winning streak in the perimeter arena.

   After winning the chess game, Li Xiangping seemed to be in a very good mood. He had a long replay with his opponent. During the replay, he kept talking and bragging to other chess players. At this time, Ma Xiaofei came over:

   "Xiang Ping, prepare yourself, this time I will accompany you to Japan to compete."

   Li Xiangping, who was in a good mood, even joked with Ma Xiao: "Okay, Team Leader Ma, why is this title so awkward? Forget it, I'll call you Teacher Ma."

   That's right, not long ago, Ma Xiaofei was just appointed as the head coach of the National Go Team. This is actually a nondescript position. Its real title should actually be "Head Coach of the National Go Team".

   It's just a "head coach" thing, which has a certain administrative level, and the level is not low. Referring to the situation of other sports, this position must be at least a director-level or a deputy director-level cadre.

   Obviously, according to the administrative level of the Chinese Chess Academy itself, there is no right to appoint such high-level cadres, which must be appointed by the General Administration of Sports.

   This is the case with Ma Xiaofei now. His appointment has not been approved above, so Wang Lunan and the others have no choice but to let him hang the title of "coaching team leader" first. Well, to put it bluntly, this is actually a "temporary worker".

  In the real history, Ma Xiaofei, a "temporary worker", worked for several years, but unfortunately he failed to become a regular in the end. The head coach's hat was snatched by his little fellow Yu Tou. Li Xiangping remembered that in his previous life, the Go world was torn apart for a long time because of this incident. From the masses of melon eaters to the two parties involved, they all ended up in person. Most of them were upset by Ma Xiaofei. .

   But after so many years, when Li Xiangping looked back at it, he thought that Ma Xiaofei had nothing to complain about. It is true that he has more champions than Yu Tou, and his future position in the history of Go will definitely be higher than that of Yu Tou. However, as a manager, especially as a manager in this domestic system, then To be honest, if Li Xiangping was a superior leader, then even he would not choose someone like Ma Xiao who was lazy by nature.

   It's just that Ma Xiaolan is lazy, and now the new official has just taken office, and that's when the enthusiasm is at its highest. Li Xiangping remembered that in real history, Ma Xiaofei did several practical things when he was the head of the coaching staff.

  The first practical thing is to implement his "Ma's Points". This "Ma's Points" is nothing to say. It can be regarded as a supplement to the grading system, making the domestic selection system more reasonable.

   The second fact is that when Ma Xiaofei came to power, he organized the masters of the national team to carry out targeted special research on "South Korea's second Lee".

So for Li Xiangping, of course he has no interest in the "Ma's Points". Anyway, in his opinion, no matter how the points change, it is impossible to deprive him of his exemption from the election. If you still have to participate in various qualifiers, then this point system is not more reasonable, but a retrogression.

   Therefore, he is more concerned about the latter thing now, because he has not been in Beijing for a while, and he does not know whether the national team has carried out special research on Korean Erli.

   When he opened his mouth to ask, but found that there was really none, Ma Xiaofei even asked him strangely:

"No, why are you studying them? Who has time to see their chess records? Go to the training room and see for yourself. Except for game training, everyone's chess records must be mainly based on your chess records. Speaking of your official game, even those chess you played on the Internet are now being dismantled by someone."

  Li Xiangping widened his eyes: "Really?"

Ma Xiaofei said: "Isn't it steamed or boiled? That's why I told you Xiangping, you can't take me lightly this time. Since the domestic chess players are like this, then the Japanese and Korean chess players are naturally the same. You play now. Every move and every style of yours will be analyzed under a microscope, so I won’t talk about it, in short, you must not raise your tail now.”

   Li Xiang said that of course, at least in the face of the next game of chess, I definitely didn't lift my tail. Isn't this because I'm afraid I'll make you laugh? I even made fun of me for suffering from pre-match anxiety.

   There is not much to say. On the second day, Li Xiangping boarded the flight to Tokyo. After all, it is the final again, so in addition to Ma Xiaofei, the head of the delegation, Wang Yi, the director of the foreign affairs department, and a large group of accompanying reporters such as reporter Zhang Da, from the court reporter to the website reporter, a large group of people Hao Tang Tang kills Tokyo.

In Tokyo, there is nothing to say. After all, in recent years, the absence of Japanese players in the finals has become the norm, and the hosts seem to be more used to it, so they can do whatever they should. They also don't add extra.

In the "Eve Festival", Li Xiangping mainly paid attention to the South Korean delegation. He found that compared with the Chinese side, the South Korean delegation was a bit shabby this time, except that the number of reporters was obviously much smaller, as for the South Korean delegation. The leader of the regiment

   Li Xiangping thought for a long time before he remembered: This seems to be Li Xiangxun's fourth dan, that is, Li Shishi's eldest brother.

   After participating in the "Eve Festival" on a routine basis, Li Xiangping returned to the hotel to rest early to recharge and prepare for the second day of the competition. On the second day, Li Xiangping refused to accompany everyone as before, and went to the stadium alone.

   "Hehe, little friend Xiangping, how do you feel this time?"

   "What? Feeling? Haha Ding'an brother, didn't you see it, I feel very good now, just take a look and see how I beat him to the ground today."

   After joking with himself, Li Xiangping walked into the finals. Of course, he is not a rookie now. After all, he is someone who has experienced so many big scenes, so bragging is bragging, and he will naturally adjust when he needs to adjust.

At 9:55, Li Shishi stepped on the spot and walked into the arena on time. The two didn't communicate much, so they just sat face to face. At 9:58, the referee walked in. Li Xiangping took a look and saw that this time the host actually chose Old Zhao Zhao Zhixun became the referee.

Under the leadership of Lao Zhao, the two players guessed first, Li Shishi grabbed a large number of pieces and put them in his hand, while Li Xiangping placed a piece on the chessboard. As a result, when Lao Zhao counted, Xiao Li had the one just now. A total of 18 pieces were grabbed, so Li Xiangping guessed wrong, and this game was played by Xiao Li in black.

At 10:00 am Tokyo time, Lao Zhao officially announced the start of the game. In the flash of the reporters, Xiao Li did not pretend to slow down, nor did he deliberately "fall fast" or anything. He landed at a very normal speed." Star, small eye".

Since it is white, then Li Xiangping also responds to all changes with the same normal speed. He dropped the "Er Lianxing" at the same normal speed. This is also the most common method when he is white. Not only him, but Lao Shi. I also like this routine the most when I'm playing white.

  The 5th move is actually a divergence point, because since the appearance of Li Xiangping, "point three three" and other moves have also become one of the main routines in today's chess world, and have become common in professional games.

  It's just that after Xiao Li hesitated for a while, he still chose the "Three or Six Hanging Angles" 閺��

   This is one of the most mainstream moves in human Go to deal with "star positions" before "point three three" became popular.

  Li Xiangping's 6th move once again responded with no change, and he quickly took the next step "Xiao Fei" to respond.

  Xiao Li's 7th hand is a bit rare, he once again chose a "three or six hanging corners" 閺��

  In today's era, the "double hanging angle" of the 5th and 7th hands is considered to be a proactive approach, which reflects a mentality of the players taking the initiative to fight.

  Li Xiangping looked at Xiao Li's 7th hand for 5 seconds, he quickly dropped the 8th hand, still a calm "Xiao Fei" response.

   After all, before this, Xiao Li had never played Hu in front of Lao Shi, so according to his character and his style of chess, it is not surprising that he showed this attitude at the beginning.

   Li Xiangping even thinks that this is the only way to be normal, otherwise, is he still the "bird island boy"?

"Okay, since you want to play this type of speed, then I'll play with you, but Xiao Li, Xiao Li, in my impression, this type of play doesn't seem to be what you are good at, right? You Don't play around in front of me."

   As soon as the game reached 10:40, and there were less than 30 moves in the whole game, Li Xiangping's hand stopped.

  Because in his opinion, Xiao Li seems to have really lost his game, and the move he just played is obviously unreasonable.

   "How to punish him for this move?"

  Li Xiangping began to think while holding his cheeks.
