Chapter 539: The Strongest Blocker
The time came to 3:40 p.m., the 151st hand of the world.
When Li Xiangping dropped this move, he actually announced that his idea of "dead chess use" had been realized on the chessboard, and his entire battle plan was a great success!
By this time, it was already clear to everyone, from professional chess players to amateur chess fans: there was no suspense in this game, and Li Xiangping would soon lift his eighth world championship trophy.
Reporter Zhang Da's heart fluctuated, and he suddenly became a little excited.
Of course, his excitement at this time is still there, and it is really not because Li Xiangping is about to win the championship.
After all, it has been seven championships in the first 4 years since his debut, Li Xiangping has long won what everyone is accustomed to, and he doesn't know how to write the reports of the reporters------ anyway, there are only a few ways to praise the flesh and numbness, and he has been used by reporters from all walks of life in the past few years.
But today's final seems to be a little different!
As a full-time reporter who reports on Go, reporter Zhang Da has always thought that he is very pursuing, and superficial praise can no longer satisfy him, the so-called "deep excavation of the story behind a game of chess", this is his new pursuit now.
Take today's match, for example, if it's the most superficial kind of coverage, it might be something like this:
β...... In the just-concluded 'Fujitsu Cup' final, the first half of the game Ida Kiki has been playing very well, and after completing a conversion in the middle game, he even once had an advantage, but at this critical juncture, Li Xiangping was in a hurry, and he suddenly "flashed of inspiration" and made a wonderful "arch" .......
Obviously, the above is the most superficial and vulgar routine, and this kind of reporting has long been unable to satisfy the appetite of reporter Zhang Da.
If Li Xiangping is held a little higher, then the report may look like this:
β...... (The previous ones are the same), but at this critical juncture, just when everyone was worried about Li Xiangping, only he was not in a hurry, seemed confident, and then took a wonderful 'arch', and appeared on the chessboard like this, this chess hand shows Li Xiangping's genius! In fact, this move also directly knocked the opponent down, thus determining the ownership of this championship......."
Well, if there is no other story, this is the standard mode of touting Li Xiangping, for example, in the past, reporter Zhang Da basically used this routine to report on Li Xiangping's game.
However, today's situation is different, who let Li Xiangping have more mouths at noon?
This is why Zhang Da reporter can't think about it.
He couldn't wait for the game to end soon, and then hurried to do an in-depth interview with Li Xiangping, and then write the most in-depth chess commentary.
It's a pity that Yitian Jiji didn't get his wish, although the overall situation of this chess has been decided, maybe it's adjusting his mood, or maybe it's out of other considerations, in short, Yitian has been working hard there, and even some officials who don't affect the outcome at all refuse to give up.
However, the chessboard is so big, no matter how much resistance has come to an end, at 4:45 p.m., when Yitian took away the last official worth 1 purpose, a total of 226 hands, this final finally ushered in the end.
In the end, black chess was 11 meshes on the board, and Li Xiangping defeated Yitian to win the cup with a margin of 4 and a half meshes.
This is Li Xiangping's 8th world championship, and he has also achieved three consecutive championships in the "Fujitsu Cup"!
The door to the game room slowly opened, and the reporters guarding the door swarmed in.
After entering the inside, reporter Zhang Da still pressed his temperament for the time being, after all, if he wants to interview the gamer, then he has to wait for someone to review the game first, right?
Fortunately, because the context of this game of chess is actually relatively simple, and the focus is relatively concentrated, so when reviewing the game, whether it is Yitian who lost the game, or other professional chess players who came in, the topic is focused on that move "arch".
Everyone praised Li Xiangping's good and exquisite move, and Yi Tian also admitted that he didn't notice this move.
The review ended quickly, and waited until Li Xiangping posed a few poses to take pictures with other reporters, and finally it was the turn of reporter Zhang Da:
"Xiangping Xiangping, are you, have you already counted that step of "arching" in the morning? β
"Huh?!"
Seeing that Li Xiangping seemed to be a little confused, reporter Zhang Da reminded:
"Hey, Xiangping, have you forgotten what you told me at noon?"
"What, what?"
Play stupid! This guy is playing stupid here! Reporter Zhang Da instantly thought so, but there was no way, for the sake of "in-depth reporting", so reporter Zhang Da had to point out:
"Didn't you tell me the old saying that Yitian used to say at noon? He said that he couldn't figure out the chess, and he didn't believe that other chess players could figure it out, so you, then today, do you want to prove it to him, you can figure out the chess he can't figure out, otherwise why would you mention this stubble to me? β
"Huh?! Ha ha! Hahaha, I ...... Did I really say that at noon? β
Reporter Zhang Da was out of line, he saw that since Li Xiangping decided to "pretend to be stupid" to the end, of course he couldn't use force as a Go reporter, so he had to pry open the other party's mouth.
However, reporter Zhang Da still didn't give up, and after making an appointment with Li Xiangping for the "self-battle commentary" of the final, he was temporarily let go.
Don't really say it, being so troubled by reporter Zhang Da, even Shi Daqisheng was a little curious, and when Li Xiangping returned to the room to take off his suit, Lao Shi opened his mouth and asked:
"Xiangping Xiaoyou, you really ...... At the time of 57 hands, even if you get to that step "arch"? β
"Huh? Hahaha, I said Brother Ding'an, do you think this is possible? If I have this ability, then what else can we cultivate, and now we can challenge the machine. β
"So, when did you notice this trick?"
Li Xiangping thought for a moment: "This ...... I can't remember this exactly, probably when I was in my 90s......."
"Isn't it before you conceived that conversion, no, it should be said that Xiangping Xiaoyou was aware of the opponent's intentions, and you thought that he was likely to choose that conversion, and at that time you calculated that step of "arching"? β
"Yes, yes, Brother Ding'an, who knows me, I did only get that hand when I was close to a hundred hands, hehe, since Brother Ding'an said this, you must have counted this hand at about the same time, right?"
Lao Shi was noncommittal to Li Xiangping's rhetorical question, and he continued to gossip: "Then why did you say such things at noon? β
"What's that? ...... Oh, by the way, did I really say that? β
"Seriously."
With Lao Shi testifying, Li Xiangping also remembered in a daze that he seemed to have really said this at noon.
"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, I think you may have misunderstood, I was just feeling, do you remember that I told you yesterday that I thought of a simple and crude strategy for today's game?"
After all, it was a plug-in, so after thinking about it for a while, Lao Shi said:
"Your strategy is to figure out the way? than the purest way calculationγWant to suppress the other party in terms of road calculation? β
"And that's right," Li Xiangping said proudly:
"So the reason why I have feelings at noon, it doesn't mean that I have calculated everything, but I firmly believe that I can calculate deeper and more accurately than my opponent, anyway, in the human game, I can do it to this extent, how to fix Brother An, is my strategy today simple and rude?"
"Hehe, then how can you be sure that you must be deeper and more accurate than this opponent?"
"Because I know that this person is actually a scumbag," Li Xiangping continued to say proudly:
"Brother Ding'an, think about it, this person is so old now, he can't even pass the arithmetic in the fourth grade of primary school, so how good can his arithmetic be with such a scumbag, Brother Ding'an, don't you say?"
"Hahaha, Xiangping Xiaoyou is really smart." It's really rare to see Lao Shi laughing so heartily, maybe it was under the effect of this emotion that he actually made a joke with Li Xiangping:
"I once heard Xiangping Xiaoyou laugh at himself, saying that he is also a scumbag, so in today's game, is it considered a fight between two scumbags?"
"Hahaha, that's right, it's the fight between the two scumbags today," Li Xiangping smiled even happier at this moment:
"But Brother Ding'an, you must know that compared to this person, I am only a one-sided scumbag, but this person is a double-sided scumbag, I am a one-sided scumbag who overwhelms his double-sided scumbag, is this reasonable?"
"Hahahaha......"
In the laughter of Lao Shi, Li Xiangping came downstairs to meet Lao Nie and others, preparing to participate in the award ceremony that night.
At the moment when Li Xiangping raised the trophy, of course, no one could snatch his leading role, not even the "crown prince" of Japanese Go.
Just when Li Xiangping raised the trophy, Lao Xie, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly sighed:
"8, as soon as Xiangping won the championship, his number of champions was already the same as Lao Cao, and now the only one who pressed him was Da Li, and now I don't know how long it will take him to complete the surpassing of Da Li."
In real history, Lao Cao's world champions are actually 9, but now due to Li Xiangping's crossing, his championship is one less.
Therefore, after listening to Lao Xie's words, Zhang Da reporter and Lao Nie both nodded, and Lao Nie also said with a little emotion:
"It won't take long, this one won't take long! With Xiangping's current momentum, he may be able to complete the super ..... before he is 20 years old Oh no, Xiangping is still less than 18 years old, right? Then I said that 20 may be conservative, Koreans say that Xiangping is a monster is really fine, he is really the kind of rare genius that is rare to see in a hundred years, and he is the kind of super chess player who can improve the overall level of the Go world with one move. β
No one has any objections to this, at least the reporters here today have no objections, because up to now, Li Xiangping's version of the "Go playing cards" has been well-known to many people, and in the list he gave, some people may have objections to other rankings, but there are fewer objections to the "big and small kings" and "aces of spades" of this deck of playing cards.
And the first three are the kind of super chess players who have significantly improved the overall level of the Go world with one fell swoop.
Now it seems that one more person will be added to this list soon!
After the end of this year's "Fujitsu Cup" journey, all kinds of fleshy praise and praise hit Li Xiangping again.
The overwhelming attack:
"Li Xiangping is about to sweep the world......"
"It's not more than three! Again, the important thing is not more than three! Lee has already missed two Golden Slam chances, and I don't think he can miss another ......."
"Pray! I have seen in a trance that the entire world chess world will tremble under Li Xiangping's iron horse......"
However, no one expected that just 2 days later.
Yes, just three days after Li Xiangping won the championship, one of the strongest blockers appeared.
A blocker who was almost forgotten by Li Xiangping, this person's name is Lee Sedol!
2 days later, a new round of siege started again, and Li Xiangping and they encountered the Yunnan provincial team this time, and due to the agreement between the coaches of the two teams last time, Li Xiangping and Xiao Li finally met again.
To be honest, at the very beginning, Li Xiangping didn't particularly care about this game of chess, because in the first half of this year, Xiao Li's results were not good, he could not only lose to Kong Erjie, but also dare to lose to Zhang Xu.
Another more important reason: Li Xiangping believes that with Xiao Li's "unusual" personality, then under the background of his vigorous promotion of "dog moves", Xiao Li is likely to be like in his previous life: when the Go world officially ushered in the "dog era", he soon faded away and could no longer catch up with the pace of other chess players.
Li Xiangping just won his 8th crown, so when he encountered Xiao Li at this time, he had a little contempt, which should be considered human nature.
In fact, not only him, but even Coach Wu complained about this encounter between the two-------
It's not for other reasons, it's because he himself was too full of words last time.
He said to the coach of the Yunnan Provincial Team last time: No matter which one you put Xiao Li on, I will let Xiangping touch him.
And the coach of the Yunnan Provincial Team is also a talent, so he grasped Coach Wu's words and took great pains to arrange the troops------
He lined up Xiao Li on an ordinary table, which was neither a rapid chess table nor a main general's table.
When Coach Wu saw this formation, he couldn't cry or laugh at the time, because this could be regarded as a weakness of the team, because the weakest thing in Li Xiangping's team was the rapid chess table.
So arranging Li Xiangping on the ordinary table, not only makes him unable to make up for the weakness of the rapid chess table, but also makes him unable to be the main general, which is definitely full of calculations.
However, there is no way to be calculated, with Coach Wu's kind of person, since he has already said it, of course he will do what he says.
However, the results of this round of armor are very funny, originally looking at the meaning of the coach of the Yunnan provincial team, he is obviously ready to treat Xiao Li as an "abandoned son", but the "abandoned son" is in this round of power, just after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the game has just been carried out to 93 hands.
Yes, only 93 lots!
When Xiao Li had just dropped the 93rd move of the overall situation, when Li Xiangping completely calculated this move, he stood up and admitted defeat at that time.
One son solves two signs!
Li Xiangping was directly knocked down by this classic tesuji.
