Go Legend

  Chapter 85 How to deal with the Bengue faction in very good condition

   In March 2001, the quarter-finals of the 6th "Samsung Cup" kicked off in Seoul, South Korea. The day before the competition, the Chinese delegation boarded the plane and prepared to go to South Korea to participate in the competition.

   Of course, it means "delegation", but this delegation is really a bit shabby. The elder of the delegation, Nie, is the leader of the whole delegation. The participating chess player Li Xiangping may be the only official member of the whole delegation.

Because of the well-known facts, everyone knew that if only the two of them were allowed to go to Korea, they might disappear immediately, and they would be listed as missing after 24 hours, so the delegation was also equipped with an interpreter, which was the entire representative. The only staff member of the group. And this translator is not a full-time worker. He was temporarily seconded by the Chess Institute from the Human and Foreign Affairs Department, so he can only be regarded as a temporary worker.

The translator's surname is Zhou. He is a young man in his 20s and 30s. It is said that he is a top student from BFSU. Now he works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. . Because according to himself, he is a chess fan. This time he went to South Korea. At the very beginning, the unit assigned someone else to go. But he heard that it was Lao Nie who brought "Stunning Art" to the competition, and he spent the price of a meal. Just got this job.

  At noon, the delegation set off. Although the delegation was so shabby, as the head of the delegation, Old Nie seemed to have no consciousness in this regard. He looked energetic and even ate a lot of kimchi on the plane. After eating kimchi, the old man Nie is still talking there:

   "Li Xiangping, let me tell you, I haven't been such a regimental leader for many years. This time I asked for this job specifically for you, so you must strive for your best this time, and give me a good job."

   "Thank you, Teacher Nie."

  Li Xiangping was respectful on the surface, but he secretly complained in his heart that he thought that someone like you would lead the team to participate in the competition. Anyway, after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of any benefits for me to be the team leader.

   What else did you say to cheer me up, but can Go games be won by cheering up? Therefore, when I went to Korea this time, I mainly depended on Zhou’s translation. Don’t have any problems with eating, drinking and lhasa. Only then can I play chess with peace of mind.

   Thinking of this, Li Xiangping decided to ignore Old Nie, and he turned to Zhou Translation:

   "Translation Zhou, on the Korean side, everything is fine, right?"

   "Don't worry, everything is arranged," Zhou Yi gave Li Xiangping a friendly smile:

   "Before boarding the plane, I specifically contacted the organizer of the event, and they told me that they have arranged things such as the venue accommodation, and when we arrive, they will send someone to pick up the plane, so you can play chess with peace of mind when you arrive."

  Translation Zhou seemed to be very confident in his own job. He didn't want to talk about it at all, because in the next moment, he immediately turned into a chess fan. He said to Old Nie:

   "Mr. Nie, can I ask you a question?"

"you say."

   "Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask Nie Lao, do you think Xiangping will have a show this time?"

"There's a show! Of course there's a show!" Hearing Zhou Yi's question, Old Nie got excited and made a gesture with his hands: "Let's not talk too far, just talk about this quarter-final match, what is going on against Japan's Yamada Kisaki? , I think if both sides play normally, the probability of Li Xiangping winning should be more than 50%. Well, he has a high probability of advancing this time. Hey, I'm not afraid to tell you. If I don't think so, then I also It is impossible to rush to be the head of this group."

   "Ah? Old Nie turned out to be so confident in Xiangping? Hehe, that's good, that's good."

Although Zhou Yi said "that's good" in his mouth, he was secretly complaining like Li Xiangping, and said in his heart that Lao Nie's big mouth is really well-deserved. You can't even name people's names, which shows that you are right. People don't understand it, and since you don't understand it, why did you say what you just said? Also, Li Xiangping has a higher probability of winning. Can you speak more reliably?

   As for Li Xiangping, of course he thought the same as Zhou Yi, but considering that Old Nie was praising himself after all, he reminded him:

"My opponent this time is named Kisanyo Yamada. He is in a pretty good state now. He won the challenge for Japan's "Ten Dan Battle" at the end of last year, and he led Wang Licheng 2-0 in the Wufan chess final. I think he has a very good chance of winning the title for the first time."

   "Oh? It's possible to win the title, so have you seen his chess? What do you think of his chess? What are the characteristics of his style?"

   This opponent was decided a few months ago. Old Nie may be unfamiliar with others, but of course Li Xiangping and Lao Shi can't. In order to prepare for the battle, the two still read some of the opponent's chess records in the past few months.

So Li Xiangping replied honestly: "I still read some of his chess records, how can I say it, maybe my level is low, I didn't see anything special in his chess, this time the opponent may be Japan The most typical kind of "Benge School" among chess players."

Old Nie smiled and said, "Haha, that's right, I haven't heard his name before, so he seems to be a true sect, but since this Yamada can make it to the Japanese title finals, Na Xiangping, you're right. People's recent competitive state is very good, so have you considered, how to deal with a natural flow? Especially a natural flow with a very good competitive state?"

  Old Nie is of course the advantage of nonsense, what is the preparation for the battle? Preparing for a battle is, of course, considering how your own chess should be played according to the characteristics of your opponent. However, on this occasion, Li Xiangping was of course inconvenient to express his specific thoughts, so he said vaguely:

   "I thought about it a little bit, but whether the method I thought was useful or not, I can't tell right now. In short, I'll wait until the game tomorrow."

"Haha, right, right, Go game, strategy is dead, and the most important thing is to respond on the spot." As for Li Xiangping's words, Lao Nie had an expression of "I have a relationship with me", when he said this , he even turned to Zhou translation and said:

   "You heard Xiao Zhou, what did I say just now? I said that we have a better chance of winning tomorrow. You should believe it now, right?"

   Hearing what Old Nie said, Li Xiangping had no choice but to roll his eyes, then cast his eyes out the window, pretending to appreciate the scenery outside the window.

   Zhou's translator smirked politely: "Hehe, Mr. Nie, you are right, I also have confidence in our excellent art."

After that, there was nothing to say, and the three arrived in South Korea smoothly. When they were on the plane, Li Xiangping did not tell lies. He knew that the opponent was in excellent condition this time, and it was in real history, this "Samsung Cup" The runner-up, so how to deal with such an excellent "Ben Geliu", he and Lao Shi really formulated a strategy for this.

   When he walked into the arena the next day, Li Xiangping reminded himself of his plug-in again:

   "Brother Ding'an, there shouldn't be any problem with the method we thought of, right?"

  Shi Daqi looked confident:

   "It's okay, little friend Xiangping, don't worry, Ding'an has the confidence to win this person today."
