Go Legend

   Chapter 844 Annual Battle Report

   "Dear viewers, here are two Go news: news from this station, No. 7

The top eight of the "Chunlan Cup" Professional Go Championship will be held in the Chinese Chess Academy tomorrow, including Gu Dali, Chang Hao, Li Canghao, Li Shishi and other eight professional players will fight against each other to compete for the only one held in mainland China. Professional Go World Championships, this time in the Chinese Chess Academy, there will be two rounds until the semi-finals are completed, and as for the final finals, we will have to wait until May this year..."

"The New Year is approaching, and the professional chess world is also full of dramas. In addition to the "Chunlan Cup", the second stage of this year's "Nongxin Cup" Three Kingdoms Go Championship will also be held in Shencheng recently. In 2018, the Chinese team has completed the "Nongshim Cup" five consecutive championships. However, because the famous Chinese national player Li Xiangping announced his withdrawal from the regular competition in the first half of the year, he was absent from the Nongshim Cup for the first time in six years. Add a lot of suspense..."

"At present, the Chinese delegation has set off. Before the departure, the reporter of this station interviewed the new world champion Kong Erjie 9 dan. Kong Erjie 9 dan said that although Li Xiangping's 9 dan exit, the strength of the Chinese team was affected. Lost, but he and his teammates still have the confidence to keep the trophy in China, Barabara…”

After watching the two Go news, Li Xiangping turned off the TV. At this time, he didn't feel much about the "Nongxin Cup", although Kong Er praised him on TV just now. G.

   But after all, it is only the second stage, and it is still very early to decide the champion.

  Li Xiangping is more interested in the "Chunlan Cup".

   The schedule of the "Chunlan Cup" can be described as elusive. In short, in recent years, every year I hear the news that this competition will be suspended, and the competition time is not fixed. After the last round, I never know that the next round will be in the Year of the Monkey.

   However, people have been insisting.

   For example, in real history, until Li Xiangping crossed, this game has always been there.

  Li Xiangping just saw the news of the "Chunlan Cup", which reminded him of his agreement with Lao Xu:

   "Well, Lao Xu's IPO has been successfully listed, so according to the previous agreement, he should hold a Go game this year? Then should I call and ask now..."

   Li Xiangping hadn't even thought about whether to call Lao Xu, but his own phone rang.

   Hearing the ringing of his phone, Li Xiangping shivered subconsciously, subconsciously covered it tightly, and then subconsciously looked up at his real girlfriend, Yaya, not far from him.

   There is really no way. Li Xiangping has been on a lot of calls recently, so he is obviously a little guilty. If others are okay, he is most afraid of Miss Bai's first, and Yang Tianbao's second.

  Li Xiangping quickly glanced at the caller ID, um, this time it was okay, it seems that there is no need to feel guilty when answering this call.

   Hearing Li Xiangping's cell phone ringing, Yaya asked casually:

   "Who is it? You seem to have had a lot of calls lately."

Li Xiangping smiled and raised the phone: "My big fan, she was also Zhao Daokai's painting model, we met during that period, and we don't know what she is looking for me for today, it is probably for those fashion resources. Bar."

   After explaining the call first, there is no need to hide the call, and Li Xiangping answered in front of his real girlfriend.

   However, after answering the call, Li Xiangping's expression was not as relaxed as before.

   He said in his heart that he is worthy of being the queen of fashion in China. My model master still has contacts in the domestic fashion circle. He helped Miss Bai torn off a top endorsement. She knew about it at this time.

She called Li Xiangping just now, but didn't say much else, except that she vaguely revealed that she already knew the result, and then it was like nothing, chatting like a friend, saying that everyone will come out when you are free, "see you" Get together."

  Well, Li Xiangping thinks that he must be not good enough. Anyway, during the call just now, he didn't read out any emotions of my big fan.

   I don't know if she is angry, or angry, or unwilling, or if she is really okay, and doesn't take the lost resources too seriously.

   Regarding Fan Ye's invitation to meet him, Li Xiangping didn't want to go, but it seemed impossible if he didn't want to go--

  There is no way. Last time I was in Haojiang, my big fan was also present, so the matter of Li Xiangping and Miss Bai is still a secret to others, but it may not be a secret to her.

   "Hey, is this going to give her some hush money..."

   With this idea in mind, Li Xiangping decided to meet Fan Jiuyi. After all, no matter what he said, this time he shot Hu to cut off the Hu, and Li Xiangping felt that it should be explained to others.

   So it was like this. On the second day, Li Xiangping took Yaya to the rehearsal again. He invited Zhao Daokai, and then took time to meet Fan Ye.

   After everyone said goodbye, Li Xiangping quickly asked his best friend:

   "How about Daokai, what do you think she means today? Are you angry? The point is, is she holding grudges?"

Zhao Daokai smiled and said: "There is definitely some anger, but it's not like holding grudges, no, it's not like, I think she definitely doesn't hold grudges, I think she may be worried about what you think, so I asked you to meet one side."

   "I...what can I think?"

"I'm worried that you will think that she is holding grudges, so I came out to show you my attitude. First, to tell you that she doesn't blame you, and secondly, she is actually showing her favor. It's better that you treat this as a debt. She is a favor... I rely on it!"

   When talking about this, Zhao Daokai suddenly stared at Li Xiangping with an extremely wretched smile:

"You are thinking too dirty now, you must have been thinking wrong just now, hehe, it's actually nothing, I saw her just like that, tsk tsk tsk, if you want, I believe she would never mind having a fight with you. Friendly match, now it's up to you whether you have such a strong taste."

   "Fuck off!"

Li Xiangping smiled and said: "Of course my tastes are not that heavy, but then again, if your inference is true, then I really owe her a favor, I'm sorry this time, I'll look for opportunities in the future. Give it back to her."

   Zhao Daokai asked again: "Then when will your new love come to the capital?"

Li Xiangping said: "No, in those few days, after the summit forum is over, there will be several press conferences. At that time, the final result will be announced. Well, where are you going? The Chess Academy is in front of me. I'm going to the Chess Academy today. One trip."

   "Watching the Chunlan Cup quarterfinals?"

  5K level Zhao Daokai is not very interested in Go. After he put Li Xiangping down, he quickly walked away.

   This year's "Chunlan Cup", the Chinese team had a strong performance in the first two rounds. A total of six people: Chang Hao, Zhou Heyang, Gu Dali, Kong Erjie, Huang Yizhong and Ding Wei killed the top eight.

   The other two are South Korea's big and small Li. The number of people is 6 to 2. I don't know if the number advantage can be converted into the final victory.

   After Li Xiangping arrived at the Chess Academy, he found that he didn't know how to draw the lottery this time. Gu Dali played against Da Li, and Kong Erjie drew Xiao Li.

   That's not much to say. These two games are the focus of this round. Li Xiangping mainly watched these two games. As for the other two civil wars between Chinese chess players, Li Xiangping also occasionally glanced at them.

  Li Xiangping arrived at the chess academy around 3:30 pm, and the games all entered the middle and back games, so when he came to the viewing room, everyone naturally gathered him in the center to conduct research.

   "Hey, after Xiaomei reversed Zhang Xu and won the Samsung Cup, it really seemed to pierce that layer of window paper. In today's game, I think as long as there is no big leak in the back, Xiao Li shouldn't have a chance."

  Although Li Xiangping has already given Xiao Li Pan the death penalty, but President Hua Xiaohua, Lao Hua, Chief Instructor Yu and others still dare not relax--

   There is no way, these two have a previous record, the most unfortunate thing is, no, it should be said that Kong Er lost the most depressing game of chess a few years ago.

   is also a situation that has almost been won, but Kong Er may have just judged the situation. He feels that he has won the victory, so he wants to adjust his mood, and may want to buy time to reconfirm.

   So he took the next step at that time to "play generals".

   It's a pity that it was a fake move, and Xiao Li ignored that move of "playing the general" and started a counterattack from another place.

   The final result was that Kong Er lost extremely badly, because that hand was "suspected to be a general", causing his own super dragon to be slaughtered, and was selected as the biggest unjust case in the professional chess world that year.

But now Kong Er is not what it used to be. He is now really entering the peak of his personal career. Today, Xiao Li resisted until about 4:30 in the afternoon, and he had no intention of fighting. The child admits the negative.

   One of the two foreign chess players has been eliminated, and now it's up to Gu Dali.

   It's a pity that the current Da Li is still very good at playing, especially his kung fu in catching other people's loopholes, he is still the top team in the world.

   In this game of chess, he caught a mistake of Gu Dali in the middle and back game. After establishing a slight advantage in chess, Da Li's "control flow" showed his power, and he won a small victory with a half-eye advantage in black——

   You must know that this is the "Chunlan Cup", and the Chinese rules are implemented, so winning the half-eye in the black is actually the 8th game in the final board.

   Da Li won, maintaining a glimmer of hope for the South Korean team. As for the remaining two sets of civil wars, Chang Hao and Zhou Heyang won the 9th dan respectively.

   And with the two of them winning, there are 3 "post-70s" in the "Chunlan Cup" semi-finals, which is quite rare in the past two years.

   By drawing lots, the semi-finals were Kong Erjie VS Da Li, Chang Hao VS Zhou Heyang, the most glorious task fell on Kong Er's shoulders again.

   Kong Er was not so lucky this time. On the day of the semi-final, Li Xiangping did not actually go to the chess academy to watch the game. He learned the result from the news.

   Da Li VS Chang Hao!

   turned out to be the finals of these two 33-year-old veterans.
