   Chapter 318 It turns out that Lao Shi is still a human being

   The day after Li Xiangping returned to the capital, he immediately participated in a round of armor.

   Well, he doesn't know if this is a normal round or a make-up match. In short, because of SARS, this year's tournament schedule was completely disrupted.

   In this game, he was Kong Erjie who played against the Jingcheng team. Although Li Xiangping's team was also in Beijing, only Kong Erjie's team was regarded as the authentic Jingcheng team.

  As a result, in this game, Li Xiangping defeated Gu Dali in the last game and defeated Kong Erjie with a small black.

  Li Xiangping is very satisfied with this.

Li Xiangping must be satisfied, because after winning this game, he not only avoided being double-killed by Kong Erjie for a season, but also continuously defeated "Gu Da" and "Kong Er", both of whom were born in the 1980s, which is of course good. The thing, this means that his strength has been further improved.

   With this kind of satisfaction, after two days of rest in the capital, he and Chang Hao attacked together and went to Taizhou to participate in the semi-finals of the "Chunlan Cup".

   After arriving at the arena, facing the swarms of reporters, Li Xiangping rarely made a high profile:

"As we all know, we people in the Go industry have always felt sorry for Chunlan Company, because this competition is already the 4th, but we still failed to win this championship, so this time I will definitely work hard with Brother Chang to strive for Keep this champion."

  No problem!

  No one thinks there is anything wrong with Li Xiangping's words. Think about it too, who is Li Xiangping now? A superstar in the world of chess, he has won 5 world championships in two and a half years. He has only lost once in the 6 world championship finals he has participated in, and his only loss was to a Chinese chess player.

  A person like this makes such a championship announcement before the game, of course, no one can fault it.

If you consider the opponents this time, Li Xiangping's opponent is Lao Zhao Zhao Zhixun, Chang Hao's opponent is Lao Cao Cao Xunxuan, two veterans of the "post-50s", and some people think that Li Xiangping's statement is not domineering enough, less There was an air of abandoning me.

Of course no one knows that it is not easy for Li Xiangping to speak to this level. This is because Lao Shi is playing this time. If it is replaced by himself, then he may not even be able to say such things. can speak.

   Although the two veterans are old, they are still quite capable in this period.

  It goes without saying that Lao Cao is still one of the four kings of Korean Go. He maintains a very high level of competition and competitive status. Even Zhao Zhixun, who has a relatively poor international record, won his second world championship this year in real history.

   If you consider his first world championship, it was relying on the abstention of his opponent Qian Yuping, so his victory over Park Yongxun in 2003 was actually his only victory in the World Series final.

The only victory of    happened this year. In this case, Li Xiangping certainly would not underestimate his opponent.

To be honest, this is also because it is Lao Shi. After practicing "two swords" with Lao Shi some time ago, Li Xiangping feels that Lao Shi's skills have improved again, it is simply more and more unfathomable, otherwise, He probably wouldn't even say such big words.

   However, what Li Xiangping didn't expect was that he said it out loud, and also thought that it would be no problem to take Lao Zhao by cheating, but the first game of Sanfanqi

  127 lots!

   This game only played 127 moves, and Lao Shi, who was playing white, was defeated in the middle game.

   Li Xiangping was speechless, he was really speechless this time, because Li Xiangping himself knew at a glance the reason for Lao Shi's defeat:

   "Oh, Ding'an, it turns out that you haven't played the official competition for half a year, so you can even give birth by hand?"

"I'm sorry, little friend Xiangping, I haven't played such a game for a while, and Ding'an does feel a little wrong, but I want you to promise that the second round will definitely not be like this, and there will be no such low-level mistakes. "

   What else can Li Xiangping say? Of course he didn't say anything at this time. Because the mistakes that Lao Shi made today are indeed relatively low-level, and they belong to the kind of mistakes that even reporter Zhang Da is unlikely to make.

  There is of course only one reason why such a master can make such mistakes: the master is born, his hands are tight, and the feeling of the game is wrong.

   This is a situation that Lao Shi has never seen before, but this makes Li Xiangping ignore it, his plug-in is not a machine, he still has a human soul.

   "It's okay, Ding'an brother, I believe in you, the next game will be good."

   Although Li Xiangping used such words to comfort himself for cheating, at this time he secretly regretted it and was secretly vigilant.

Regret is the first game that just ended. Originally, Lao Shi made such a low-level mistake. With Li Xiangping's level, he could detect it at once. However, it was his fault that he was too relaxed and believed in his own cheating. As soon as Lao Shi spoke at that time, he subconsciously made a move without thinking.

   Vigilance is of course vigilance for the next game. After all, there is no reason to make mistakes like this kind of human beings. Since Lao Shi will make the first time, no one can guarantee that he will not make the second time.

  Li Xiangping felt that he had to be ready at any time, what should he say? It's like Lao Shi can take over his own game, so now, Li Xiangping also feels that he has to be ready to take over the game at any time.

   "Reporter Zhang Da, how is Brother Chang's game of chess?"

   "Alas, I lost too."

"Oh?"

After    "Oh", Li Xiangping didn't talk too much, he silently returned to the room, but he was more and more ready.

   There was a rest day between the first game and the second game. During the rest day, Li Xiangping didn't go anywhere.

  Li Xiangping didn't want to explain to outsiders, and actually didn't know how to help himself adjust the plug-in. In this case, he could only play chess with Lao Shi Duo, hoping that this would help him.

   For Li Xiangping's move, outsiders are not surprised, because since his debut, he has rarely made such a low-level and obvious mistake. In this case, of course others will not come to disturb him at this time.

   The second game is coming soon. In this game, Li Xiangping is like a big enemy, and he is always ready. It's a pity that his preparations today were in vain again. In this game, Lao Shi seems to have returned to normal, and he won the game relatively smoothly.

   "Tsk tsk Dingan brother, what do you want me to say about you"

   On the other side, Chang Hao also won Lao Cao, and both semi-finals became 1-1.

   There is no rest day between the second and third rounds, and on the second day, the tiebreaker begins immediately.
