"The stone Buddha surrenders the monster, and Li Canghao defends the glory of the king!" (Korea JoongAng Ilbo)

"Li Canghao's bloody victory! He has found Li Xiangping's life. (Republic of Korea XXX Newspaper)

"I remember that Li Canghao's enlightenment teacher Tian Yongshan Qiduan once said: Canghao's personality is actually more bloody than imagined, quite intense and impulsive. Just like his chess, even if Li Canghao's inner surface is always boiling lava, it's just that his innate internal strength can suppress this lava. In the second round of the just-concluded "Toyota Cup" finals, I finally saw this lava explode! It instantly smelted the Chinese monster Li Xiangping ......" (a well-known chess critic on the XXX website of the Republic of Korea)

Well, the above words and rhetoric like chicken blood, of course, can only come from the South Korean media, but the reports of the Chinese media are like this:

"In the second game of the just-concluded 'Toyota Cup' final, Li Xiangping carelessly lost Jingzhou and was equalized by Li Canghao." (Mass Daily Overseas Edition)

"Li Xiangping accidentally made a big mistake, and the winning streak was blocked, delaying the pace of winning the championship." (Shencheng Xinmin Evening News)

"Watching the second game of the "Toyota Cup" finals made me understand the loneliness of the mastery boss: yes, this is the only feeling I have after watching the game, 3 consecutive chess moves to let go of one hit to win, this is of course not the real level of the mastery boss, and the only reason why he played like this is because he is too lonely, so he wants Da Li to accompany him to play a few more games ....." (Qingfeng Go website arrogant lone wolf)

There was still a rest day between the 2nd game and the 3rd game of the final, so on the rest day, Li Xiangping also had time to browse the reports on domestic websites. After he saw the post made by the arrogant lone wolf guy, Li Xiangping couldn't cry or laugh, and then complained in his heart: Lonely your sister.

How much Li Xiangping values this second game, of course, only he knows the reason. However, Li Xiangping also knew that the reason why the arrogant lone wolf would say such strange things might not really be blamed on him, because at his level close to that of a Go novice, where could he see what "missed 3 chances in a row".

Lao Nie is to blame for all this, it was he who said in an interview after the game that in fact, after the formation of double life, as long as Li Xiang could not hold back his murderous intentions, then if he objectively judged the situation, the situation at that time was still black chess. And Lao Nie's words were written by the reporter as a chess review and sent back to China, which was quoted by the arrogant lone wolf.

Objectively speaking, Lao Nie's analysis is of course correct, but the actual battle is the actual battle, and the post-game analysis is the post-game analysis. From the perspective of the game, Li Xiangping thinks that Lao Nie's words are still superficial, as the closest bystander, Li Xiangping knows that when Shi Da Qisheng decides to rob and slay the dragon, this game of chess has actually gone to the point of no return, and the vast majority of chess players, including Lao Shi, have no way to change their thinking in such a short time.

And this, Li Xiangping thinks that it should be regarded as a weakness of his own plug-in.

Of course, weakness is weakness, Li Xiangping can't manage so much now, the most important thing now, of course, is tomorrow's tiebreaker.

"Brother Ding'an, don't take yesterday's defeat too seriously, it's just your momentary negligence, I believe that with your strength, it is still above the opponent, so as long as you are calm and patient tomorrow and deal with the opponent, then you will definitely kill the Korean chess player."

"Xiangping friends can rest assured, Ding'an can be saved."

"That's good, that's good......"

Although Li Xiangping said "That's good" in his mouth, it would be strange to say that he was not worried. According to relevant statistics, if the two sides play 2 to 1 in the trilogy of Go, then the person who wins the second game has a final victory probability of more than 80%.

Especially Lao Shi's loss yesterday, this is not only the worst loss he has lost in the past two years, but also the defeat of his opponent in the field he is best at. Since this is the case, of course Li Xiangping will be worried.

To say that people's mood is so strange, yesterday, Li Xiangping was still looking forward to the "LG Cup" final, but today, the situation has changed dramatically, and Li Xiangping began to worry that a tragedy like Leverkusen would happen to him again.

It's just a pity, Li Xiangping is worried, worried, he can't do anything now, except for saying something like the kind of unnutritious and appeased just now, he has no way to help his plug-in.

"Alas, to speak my own words......"

At this time, even Li Xiangping himself didn't know, and at this moment, his idea of improving his strength was unconsciously much more urgent.

It was in this indescribable state that the decisive game came soon, Li Xiangping was a little apprehensive, a little uneasy, and of course more expectant, he accompanied Lao Shi to the arena.

The importance of this game does not need to be described too much, how much importance the outside world attaches to this game, of course, there is no need to retell it here, anyway, after Li Xiangping walked into the arena, there were many more reporters waiting at the door than in the previous two games.

Among them, there are not only text reporters, but also TV reporters and website reporters, in the crowd, Li Xiangping not only saw the staff of the sports channel of the imperial court station----- this game will be listed on the sports channel to explain, and the reporters of the major domestic Go websites are even more non-pulling.

In addition to the Chinese side, the South Korean side agrees to this, the South Korean side of the reporter lineup is no worse than the Chinese side, and even the Japanese side, although there are no Japanese chess players in this final, but after all, this is a tournament held by Japan, so Japan's NHK will also broadcast the game live.

Anyway, he has followed Lao Shi on the stage of the finals so many times, so on the surface, Li Xiangping is calm and calm, and he is not shocked by honor and disgrace, so that others can see ---- tsk, this kid really has the style of a general.

At 9:55 a.m. Tokyo time, Li Xiangping and Li Canghao were already seated in the game room.

A minute later, Mr. Wu Qingyuan, who was in a wheelchair, was pushed into the game room, and under his auspices, the two players re-guessed. The elder Li Canghao grabbed a large handful of chess pieces, and Li Xiangping silently put a chess piece next to him.

Li Canghao personally counted the pieces, and he actually grabbed 21 chess pieces with a large handful, so even if Li Xiangping guessed correctly, so this game of tiebreaker was Lao Shi Zhihe.

At 10 o'clock in the morning Tokyo time, Mr. Wu announced the official start of the game, and five minutes before reporters were allowed to take pictures, Li Xiangping played two moves according to Lao Shi's instructions.

It's just that seeing these two moves, Li Xiangping doesn't know how he feels.

Yes, Li Xiangping at this time really didn't know how to feel!

Because the two chess moves played by Shi Da Chess are "diagonal stars".

This is the standard configuration of second-hand chess, and it is the most familiar, best and most studied way of playing.

However, this is a way of playing that he has abandoned since he traveled to modern times, believing that it is no longer suitable for the rules of modern Go.

The last time Li Xiangping saw Lao Shi play like this, it was a game of online chess more than two years ago.

So today, in such an important game, Lao Shi faced the number one modern master, Lao Shi sacrificed such a move, of course Li Xiangping didn't know how to feel.

He was faintly worried about Lao Shi, but at the same time, he understood his feelings and understood what he was doing today.

Yes, when Li Xiangping saw these two moves, he instantly understood what Lao Shi meant.

This game of chess will be the last time Shi Da Qisheng will help him win the world championship independently.

It's not that he won't play chess in the future, but Li Xiangping knows in his heart that Lao Shi is actually telling himself in this way that from now on, at least in the game with humans, it will be based on himself, and Lao Shi will play an assistant at most.

"Alas, Brother Ding'an, go ahead, use this last game of chess to defend the glory of the ancient chess......"
