Seoul, South Korea, 2nd match day of the 5th "Samsung Cup" qualifiers.

When the time came to around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Coach Wu of China began to get busy.

As the deputy head of such a Go delegation, it is actually quite boring, because there are too many things to worry about, especially Coach Wu is mainly in charge of young chess players, not to mention the cumbersomeness.

You must know that the group of chess players is generally poor in self-care, so compared with adult chess players, young chess players are naturally even more .......

And these are the things that Coach Wu needs to worry about. For example, now, Coach Wu is going to go around the arena, he mainly wants to see which chess players will be eliminated today, so he should be appeased, and he should do ideological work, and he should arrange for these eliminated chess players to go home.

However, there is a problem now, due to the large number of participating chess players, there are more than 10 games that need to be taken care of by Coach Wu, and it is only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the "Samsung Cup" in this year is still 3 hours of slow chess per side, so a game of chess ends normally, usually after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so at this time, Coach Wu is worried that he can't take care of it.

Fortunately, when Coach Wu came to the arena, he immediately found a helper, that is, Luo Xihe and Gu Dali of the Chinese team, these two famous "fast gunners" have already finished their games and are talking and laughing outside the stadium.

Just seeing their expressions, Coach Wu knew that they didn't need to ask in these two games, and there was no doubt that the two of them had won. Therefore, Coach Wu didn't talk too much nonsense, and he immediately arranged tasks for the two:

"Little piggy, Dali, you two help me go around the arena, Little Pig goes this way, vigorously go over there, go and help me see what the current situation is, you may have to book a few tickets tonight."

"Okay."

Don't look at Luo Xihe is now a national team chess player, but he also grew up under the watchful eye of Coach Wu, so the two of them were obedient and walked around the arena according to Coach Wu's instructions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Xihe came back to report:

Kong Erjie's game has obvious advantages, and it can even be said that he has basically won it now, but his counterpart is "Brother Niu", the current situation is extremely unfavorable, although he is still resisting stubbornly, but the possibility of losing in the end is very high, Hu Yaoyu's game is a game of fine chess, and it is a little worse than him, but according to his characteristics, it is not impossible to turn the game in the end...... By the way, there is also Chen Yaoyue's game, he is also an advantage now, second only to Kong Erjie's game......

"Oh? Xiao Chen is going to win too! ”

Since Chen Yaoyue is the youngest, it is normal for Coach Wu to pay a little more attention, and after Luo Xihe's report, Coach Wu concluded:

"Listen to what you say, you see that there are 2 to 5 games of losing here, and you may lose at least 2 games and at most 5 games, right? That's not a good day. ”

Luo Xihe said with a smile: "Coach Wu can't say that, in fact, what I just did was the worst judgment, in fact, I really want me to say, as far as I just watched, it is unlikely to lose 5 games of chess, and it is most reasonable for you to prepare 3 or 4 tickets.......

After the two stood there and chatted for a few minutes, Coach Wu suddenly said:

"Hey, Dali, why hasn't this kid come back yet."

After saying this, both looked towards the arena. Although the whole arena was very large, most of the people sat there to play chess, and only a few people were standing, and the two of them quickly found Gu Dali.

Now Gu Dali is putting his hands on his waist and crooking his neck, and he is watching the battle with relish.

Or Luo Xihe's eyes are sharper:

"That's like ...... Li Xiangping, hehe, hehe, vigorously watching the "mastery" play chess. ”

After Luo Xihe finished saying this, the two looked at each other very tacitly, and then said in unison:

"Let's go, let's see."

After all, it was a Go tournament, so the two cautiously approached the table, and after getting closer, everyone didn't speak, just buried their heads in the chess quietly.

After only watching it for a while, after making a preliminary judgment of the situation, Coach Wu showed surprise, because according to his judgment, at this time in this game of chess, Li Xiangping, who was in charge of white, was in a good situation---- not the ordinary "good situation", but the kind of situation close to "winning".

This game of chess has been played in total about 150 moves so far, and according to the pattern of this game of chess, it has entered the stage of small officials, and according to Coach Wu's own judgment, he believes that it is now a "game of victory and defeat", that is to say, the number of eyes of the two sides is basically the same, in addition, the thickness of the black and white sides is also about the same.

The number of meshes is about the same, and the thickness is about the same, but don't forget, this game of chess is Li Xiangping's white!

Especially from the beginning of this "Samsung Cup", black chess has to be pasted with 6 and a half meshes!

So in a competition of this level, with such a big gap, it is certainly not an exaggeration to say "win".

I can't blame Coach Wu for being surprised, mainly because these two players seem to be very different.

On one side is Choi Myung-hoon, a famous Korean master known as the head of the "Four Little Heavenly Kings", while on the other side is a 13-year-old boy who can't even play the first dan and can only compete with an amateur 5 dan title. Although he has been very popular on the Internet recently, but after all, it is just the Internet, isn't it?

To be honest, before the start of this game, Coach Wu didn't have much hope for this game of chess at all, and he even counted Li Xiangping's ticket early, but now......

Coach Wu looked up at Luo Xihe, then at Gu Dali, the three of them laughed silently, and then the three of them were silent and slowly retreated to the door of the arena.

Outside the door, Coach Wu finally asked, "I should have read it right just now, right?" Is it Li Xiangping, who is white? ”

Luo Xihe nodded slightly, but Gu Dali said happily: "Of course it's excellent!" To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I first saw this game of chess, because when I looked at the pattern of that game of chess, it was obviously like a game of kung fu chess, and if you want to face Choi Myung-hoon with such a short number of hands to achieve such a big advantage, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Li Canghao to do it, right? ”

"That's why you've been there for so long?"

"Yes, because at this time, there is no need for this game of chess to continue, it is my words that will rise immediately, so I am waiting for Cui Mingxun to admit defeat, and when they review the game, they will see how "Jueyi" did it, but I didn't expect him to never admit defeat, neither admit defeat nor fall behind, just sit there. ”

"That's probably hairstyling, well, mindfulness."

"Haha, that's right, he's supposed to be fixing his hairstyle right now......."

However, there is a time when any hairstyle is finished, such as this time, when Coach Wu and the three of them mentioned this stubble with great interest, Cui Mingxun's eight-stage "hairstyle" was finally finished, and he muttered in his mouth and didn't know what to say, and then twisted up two sunspots and put them in the center of the chessboard.

And this action has a special meaning in the game of Go, which is to signal him to admit defeat in the middle game now.

Perhaps because of the loss to an amateur chess player, Cui Baduan's face was a little unbearable, and after calling the referee to sign to confirm the defeat, he did not review with Li Xiangping, but quickly withdrew from the game.

When he swayed to the door, he was quickly surrounded by Coach Wu, and Gu Dali gave Li Xiangping a punch excitedly:

"Hahaha worship worship, how did you do this game of chess."

"It's nothing, it's just that he suffered a big loss as soon as he came up, so it was easier for me to win."

"Ahh Suffered a big loss as soon as it came up? ”

Hearing this, Gu Dali's eyes brightened even more, you must know that in a professional game, when will you "suffer a big loss as soon as you come up"? Of course, when you fly the knife in the middle of the knife, you encounter a chess shape that you are not familiar with, and then you may suffer a big loss.

And then think about this guy in front of you......

Gu Dali couldn't wait: "Hurry up, hurry up and show me your game of chess." ”

Of course, Li Xiangping would not refuse such a request, so except for Coach Wu, who was still staring at the arena, the other three immediately returned to the hotel.

When Li Xiangping began to play chess, and put it where he thought that "the other party had suffered a big loss", Gu Dali showed a strange expression on his face, not only him, but Luo Xihe also faced a strange expression:

"This ...... With this change, do you think black has suffered a big loss? ”
