"Brother Ding'an, did you say that this person was the one who fought with us a few days ago?"

"It's very likely, but it's not necessarily, after all, our latest research has been circulating in a small area, not to mention the national team players, even if we are playing on the Internet that day, there must be national players watching the game."

Li Xiangping listened and nodded, he suspected that Ding Wei Jiudan was the one who played three games with him that day, of course, it was still up to him to play chess today.

If it's just a big routine that is similar, it doesn't matter, but even many details are the same------- a trick used by Ding Jiuduan today is actually a move proposed by Li Xiangping when he reviewed after the game after the third game that day, and he thinks that if he plays like this, it will be better than his actual combat at that time.

The opinions expressed in the online game actually appeared in the World Series so soon, which of course made Li Xiangping highly suspicious.

However, after thinking about it, he thought that what Lao Shi said was also right. Now is not their era, the information is highly developed, especially their "mastery guide" is not the first day to play chess on the Internet, they have played so much in the past few months, and they are about to become a well-known brand.

This scenario doesn't seem entirely impossible.

So whether he was the master of gibberish that day remains to be further confirmed.

It's a pity that Li Xiangping can't take the initiative to confirm this kind of thing, he can't always say: Hey so-and-so, did you play 3 games of handicap chess with me that day.......

Li Xiangping put this matter down for the time being, and focused his attention on the specific chess game.

So far, there have been two semi-final seats, namely Li Xiangping and Gu Dali, while the other two sets are Ding Wei VS Cui Poison and Lee Sedol VS Wang Licheng.

Of course, Li Xiangping first paid attention to the battle of Ding Wei VS Cui Poison.

After carefully judging the situation, he was happy at that time:

"Yo, Brother Ding'an, the trick I casually mentioned that day seems to have a good effect, you see, once this trick comes out, even Cui Poison is unstoppable."

Lao Shi smiled: "Judging from today's actual combat effect, this move is still quite good, but Xiangping Xiaoyou, this move is a little excessive, a typical handicap move, the opponent did not fully deal with it, and this is a big loss." ”

Li Xiangping laughed: "You don't care if it's a chess move or a chess move, there was once an old man who said well, no matter whether the white cat is a black cat, catching a mouse is a good cat, this is put in Go, of course, you don't care what kind of move it is, and it is a good move to win chess." ”

At around 5:20 p.m., all four sets of matches ended, and Ding Wei and Lee Sedol won, so that in the first World Series of this year, the Chinese team occupied three places in the semi-finals.

When it came to the draw in the evening, the most concerned was still Gu Dali, who had just beaten Da Li in today's game and would soon meet Xiao Li in the next round.

Last year, Gu Dali lost two very important chess, one semi-final to Xiao Li, and one final to Da Li, so now, he seems to have reached the moment to make a name for himself.

And Li Xiangping himself, when he shook hands with Ding Wei Jiuduan, he was still thinking about it: Was this guy a few days ago?

Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't have time to worry about it for too long------ because it's already June, and a few days after the end of this game, he will go to take the college entrance examination.

As a person who has taken the exam once in his previous life, Li Xiangping himself doesn't have much feeling about it, the only difference from his previous life is that he took the college entrance examination this time and is on the news!

Major domestic portals, major sports publications, and even many official mainstream media have reported the news of Li Xiangping's participation in the college entrance examination. Most of them are applauded, of course, there are also noises, and the biggest noise at this time:

If Li Xiangping goes to college, will it delay his training? Influencing his practice? Will he be able to stay at the top of the world chess for a long time?

Especially in the major Go forums, real chess fans have the most controversy about this matter, but people who don't usually play chess are happy to see Li Xiangping take the college entrance examination.

Of course, Li Xiangping himself doesn't care about this, he even thinks that some chess fans are purely salty and don't worry about eating radishes, and a saying that has been circulating in the Go world is very good: if you don't practice for one day, you know, if you don't practice for two days, the opponent knows, and only if you don't practice for three days can people all over the world know.

I'm the one who is going to fight dogs.

From the day he decided to go to meet the dog, he did not relax at all, not only practiced hard, but even tried all kinds of ways to improve his technical level. How does going to college affect your training? He felt that this part of the chess fans was really thinking too much.

“...... Hmph, aren't you worried that going to college will affect me, then I'll show you ......"

With such thoughts, Li Xiangping soon ushered in the opportunity to "correct his name", and on the 10th day after the end of the college entrance examination, when the specific scores had not yet come out, Li Xiangping ushered in a new competition.

That is the annual "Asian Cup", as the defending champion, Li Xiangping is exempt from this pocket event.

However, what even Li Xiangping didn't expect was that it was precisely because of his participation in this event that the post-game discussion was louder:

As he was the defending champion, Li Xiangping started directly from the semi-finals, and in the first game of chess, he met Japanese player Keigo Yamashita.

The whole game was uneventful, and it didn't even stir up any waves, and Li Xiangping successfully entered the final.

The controversy was the final game.

In the final, Li Xiangping encountered compatriot Kong Erjie in the seventh section.

The result of the match was that Li Xiangping won, and he defended the "Asian Cup" for the first time.

It's a pity that in the final game, he won extremely lucky, especially when the chess game reached more than 160 hands, Li Xiangping judged that his situation was very bad, and he even thought about taking a few more steps, and then finding a step to admit defeat.

However, at this time, just when Li Xiangping himself was about to give up treatment, Kong Erjie made an incredible mistake like a chain reaction.

Li Xiangping doesn't know how to describe the opponent's mistake, if he has to say it, it may be reluctantly explained by "strong luck":

Li Xiangping believes that when Kong Erjie faces himself, he will definitely put himself in the "lower" position, especially since this is still a game of rapid chess, and his reputation for rapid chess is outside, so before the game or even during the game, he may not have thought that he could win himself at all.

However, in this case, he suddenly judged that it was his advantage, and that it was an advantage that was very close to the "win".

So Kong Erjie couldn't believe it at first, and then his heart began to fluctuate, and he could no longer maintain his usual calm.

Then when he makes his first mistake----- although that mistake is not fatal, it is only a small loss, but he may start to suffer from gains and losses, and his mental tension begins to be high, which seriously affects his normal thinking.

When he makes a second mistake, there is nothing to say, his psychology must have been seriously unbalanced at this time, and a chain reaction is basically inevitable.

Li Xiangping's game of chess is actually won in this way.

Because of the so-called "strong man is lucky", many of his opponents lost because of this.

And Li Xiangping's winning method caused controversy in a small area, which was of course inevitable.

Compared to today, for some "Jueyi fans", ordinary chess can no longer satisfy them, they not only ask Li Xiangping to win chess, but also ask Li Xiangping to win beautifully.

Obviously, in this "Asian Cup" final against Kong Erjie, Li Xiangping won not beautiful at all, he completely picked up a game.

Many chess fans feel that Li Xiangping's game is stiff and excessive, and his chess seems to have become rusty, and he does not have the feeling of flowing water before-------

Since chess has become rusty, some people think that this is the fault of his university entrance examination, and such an association is logical.

Li Xiangping scoffed at this statement, but his plug-in Shi Daqisheng said something that made him a little vigilant:

"Alas, Xiangping Xiaoyou, in my opinion, you are now showing the sequelae."

"Sequelae?"

"Of course, Xiangping Xiaoyou, of course you know, let the chess game be different from the game after all, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is two kinds of chess."

"That'...... Is there a cure for this sequelae? ”

"I don't know about this Ding'an."

Lao Shi paused and continued: "This still depends on personal practice, I can only tell you that there are not many people who play handicap chess now, but in our time, handicap chess was a compulsory course, and the vast majority of chess players play chess in their lifetime, and the number of handicap chess even exceeds the number of pairs." ”

Li Xiangping listened and nodded, he still knows something about this, in fact, just look at the evaluation rating of ancient chess, "national player", "famous player", "second-hand", "three-hand", ...... It's very different from modern standards.

Lao Shi continued: "In our time, some people made the level of chess significantly stronger than the pair of chess, and some people were better at the level of the game than the handicap, of course, there are also those who are both strong, the most typical representative of which is the predecessor of Huang Yuetian, of course, and my brother Xiping, his handicap chess kung fu is obviously stronger than me, Xiangping Xiaoyou is similar to their style, so I believe that this hurdle, you can eventually step over." ”

Hearing Lao Shi say this, Li Xiangping finally felt a little relieved, after all, he had been with Lao Shi for so long, and he found that from a single individual, his chess style was really different from Lao Shi, if he had to forcibly compare, his chess style was really similar to the other two.

Since they can cultivate both, Li Xiangping certainly feels that he can do it too.

There is another reason why Li Xiangping put this matter down, that is, now, the college entrance examination scores have come out.

"Grandma, you helped me go and see it, how much did I score?"

"Well, 451 points."

"Hahaha!"

Li Xiangping was embarrassed and happy at the time, and he was actually more than 200 points higher than the admission score line, not bad, not bad, quite good, Li Xiangping was very satisfied with himself.

"What about Daokai, how many points did Daokai score?"

"People Daokai 488 points."

"Huh?! This guy is taller than me? ”
