Li Xiangping has been a good student at the school for a week, and the first important game of the new season is approaching, and this day is the weekend, and in the apartment in Wudaokou, Li Xiangping is studying the latest chess game of his next opponent, Sheikh.

That's right, in the next "Chunlan Cup" quarterfinals, Li Xiangping's opponent was "Brother Calm" Sheikh, he defeated Da Li in the round of 16 to advance, and in the previous round of 16, the Chinese team performed quite well, occupying six seats in the quarterfinals, so it is not surprising that Li Xiangping met him.

After studying for an afternoon, Li Xiangping said to his plug-in:

"Alas, Brother Ding'an, have you noticed that there seems to be a new change in today's chess world."

"Oh? I didn't see this, what did Xiangping Xiaoyou find? ”

"It's more diverse, I remember a few years ago, yes, probably after we won the Golden Slam for the first time, our strength should be recognized by all professional chess players, which attracted a lot of followers, you like to play two consecutive stars, everyone is two consecutive stars, I like to use small eyes two high jump corners, and then everywhere there are small eyes two high jump corners, by the way, there are also opening points three or three, a year ago, almost every professional game can see the opening point three three, but now, Brother Ding'an, you see, although these changes are also common, But it is no longer everyone's inevitable choice, but it has become one of everyone's alternatives, which also makes the current game more colorful. ”

Lao Shi said with a smile: "This matter is normal, the way of chess is mysterious, we humans actually start from imitation, and this imitation is everywhere, beginners imitate basic chess shapes, even if it is at my level, I have been imitating dog moves before, you say yes or no." ”

Li Xiangping listened and nodded, it has been 7 years since he crossed by himself, but in the first 7 years, what he and Lao Shi did was mainly based on imitation, especially in the first few years, the two of them also "knew what they were and didn't know why" for many dog tricks, but they were still happy to do it in actual combat.

It's just that compared to the previous level of humans, the technical content of dog moves is too much higher, so even though it is just imitation, the two still won so many championships.

If you can imitate a dog, then of course others can imitate yourself.

It's just that any imitation is like this, when the imitation reaches a certain stage, there will naturally be differentiation, specific to the field of Go, many professional chess players will according to their own characteristics, no, more precisely, professional chess players will according to their own preferences, the dog moves that have appeared to make a certain rounding, and then each form a new style of chess.

At the very beginning, Li Xiangping only noticed that Da Li did this, and he also combined dog tricks with his own characteristics very well.

However, up to now, many professional chess players have come to this point, especially the active chess players who are on the front line have basically come to this point, and it is precisely for this reason that when Li Xiangping is looking at other people's chess games, he feels that his style and playing style are not as similar as they were two years ago, and there has been more and more diversity.

"Alas, others are imitating us, and our level is much lower than that of dogs, so we can combine dog tricks with our own characteristics, but what do you say about us? We can only imitate dog tricks, so when do you think we can really combine dog tricks with our own characteristics? ”

"Hehe, Xiangping Xiaoyou is only in this mountain, Ding'an thinks that we have already taken this step."

"Huh!? Hahaha, it seems that Brother Ding'an has a bigger heart than me, why don't I feel this way. ”

Lao Shi smiled slightly: "Really not?" Xiangping Xiaoyou, let me ask you, after now, the three generations of dogs do not talk about him, let's just talk about the first generation of dogs and the second generation of dogs, you now look at the chess of the first generation of dogs and the second generation of dogs, is it very different from a few years ago? Sometimes you even think they're just a little bit of a thing. Many of their tricks don't stand up to scrutiny? ”

"This ......"

Li Xiangping stopped talking and began to savor Lao Shi's words.

Of course, Li Xiangping knew in his heart that Lao Shi said "but Er'er" Shenma, of course, it was not that he was so arrogant that he already thought that he could break his wrists with a first-generation dog or a second-generation dog.

Mainly because of the existence of three generations of dogs, the two of them seem to have found some weaknesses in the lower version of the dogs and found some flaws in them after studying a lot of chess games for dogs fighting.

For example, last time, Li Xiangping used a "fake dog move" in a game-------- although in that game, Li Xiangping relied on that game of chess to win a game, but he knew that the move was not actually valid, and it was only because of the mistake that the "fake dog move" was successful.

The original of that fake dog trick is really from the hands of a generation of dogs!

Then there is no doubt that Li Xiangping has now been able to find "fake dog moves" in the chess games of the first generation of dogs and the second generation of dogs, which is of course a huge progress.

Because just a few years ago, such a thing would have been almost unimaginable.

A few years ago, when Li Xiangping faced that kind of chess, he didn't dare to question it at all, not only did he not dare to question it, but even after winning a game of chess with that fake dog move, he was likely to "believe it to be true" and mistakenly think that it was really a good move with rich connotations.

It is only because of the existence of a higher level of three generations of dogs, that Li Xiangping and Lao Shi have been carefully studying for several years, which has allowed them to see the truth clearly and know that there are also flaws in the Go of the first generation of dogs and the second generation of dogs.

Of course, knowing flaws and using flaws are two different things, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi are not so shallow, thinking that if they find a few "fake dog tricks", they can defeat a first-generation dog or a second-generation dog-------

As the saying goes, "one force will drop ten", so apply this sentence to the field of Go, with Li Xiangping's personal understanding, he believes that Go's ability to calculate the road, this is the "force" in this sentence, considering the gap between man and machine, then in this ability, human beings will never be able to compare with machines, and with the development of science and technology, the gap in this area is getting bigger and bigger.

But in any case, being able to spot some fake dog tricks is a huge step forward.

Because human beings want to compete with machines, since "force" can never be compared, they can only make a fuss about "will---------

Just like the "primitive dogs" back then, in fact, in the primitive dog era, their "strength" was also far beyond that of humans, but in those days, humans were more "able" than them, so humans could beat the "primitive dogs".

Therefore, if you want to challenge real dogs in the future, Li Xiangping personally believes that human beings can still only make a fuss about "will".

If you are not as good as a dog in "will", the hope of winning is infinitely close to zero.

If you can be a little more "good" than the dog------ considering that the dog has too many advantages in terms of "strength", so there is still little hope of winning, but no matter what, there is still a little hope.

In the next few years, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi actually wanted to find that little bit of hope.

Thinking that this road was so difficult, Li Xiangping couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Alas~~ Brother Ding'an, we can now find some fake dog tricks in the first generation of dogs and the second generation of dogs, but it has not yet involved the third generation of dogs, when do you say we can find some flaws in the third generation of dogs, even if it is to find a fake dog trick."

"Hahahaha."

Lao Shi suddenly laughed: "Xiangping Xiaoyou, you just said that I have a big heart, but in my opinion, you are the real big heart, find a fake dog trick in the three generations of dogs, do you really dare to think?" To tell you the truth, I really didn't think about this, originally with my initial idea, I wanted to find a flaw in the lower version of the machine through the study of three generations of dogs, so that I was already very satisfied, but I really didn't dare to think about defeating three generations of dogs. ”

Lao Shi paused and continued: "Of course, now I have changed my mind, because I found that Xiangping Xiaoyou is really extraordinary, maybe with your genius, then in the remaining seven or eight years, it is not necessary for you to find the flaws of three generations of dogs." ”

"Hahahaha......"

This time it was Li Xiangping's turn to laugh, and he teased himself and said:

"I said Brother Ding'an, you're addicted to sycophants, aren't you? Some time ago, I thought you had gotten rid of this problem, but I didn't think that today it was a recurrence of the old disease, okay, I won't break with you, today's research will end here, tomorrow is the game, or relax and relax at night. ”

On the second day, Li Xiangping went to the Chinese Chess Academy to participate in the match with "Brother Calm" Sheikh.

There is nothing particularly easy to say about the game, although it is not a "bloodless blade", but now Brother Calm has not caused too much trouble for Li Xiangping. At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, although the opponent stubbornly persevered to the end, Li Xiangping, who was in black, still won the game with a three-quarters advantage.

Winning Brother Calm is not the point, the real focus is that in today's quarterfinals, Chang Hao won Cui Poison in the ninth section, and Gu Dali won Zhang Xu to ensure that the Chinese team won the top four of this "Chunlan Cup".

In Li Xiangping's impression, this is also the first time since he crossed over that the Chinese team has won the semi-finals of the World Series.

However, when he saw the last semi-finalist ------ Peng Quanwuduan, the "big-faced cat" who defeated Zhou Heyang today, Li Xiangping remembered that this year's "Chunlan Cup" in real history seems to be the same Chinese chess player who won the semi-finals, and then Gu Dali defeated Chang Hao to win the championship.

In the draw that night, Li Xiangping encountered Gu Dali again, and Chang Hao was holding Peng Quan's hand.

When standing on the stage, Li Xiangping couldn't help but look at Chang Hao Jiuduan a few more times.

Chang Rensheng, who was born in 76, is now in his 30s, but his performance is indeed worthy of the name of "Rensheng".

In real history, he has won three more World Championships and reached at least one World Series final in 10 consecutive years.

Now due to his crossing, he has lost the title, but now he still maintains an extremely consistent level of competition, and is still a regular in the World Series finals.

This alone still makes Li Xiangping maintain his respect for him.

After the quarterfinals of the "Chunlan Cup", the next step is the opening match of the armor.

It's just that this competition is not in the capital, according to the practice of previous years, the opening ceremony of the armor is usually placed in a small place in the field, and then the first few rounds will adopt the competition system.

This year's Weijia is no exception, the opening ceremony is still in Changxing, Zhejiang, which is a county under Huzhou, Zhejiang, although the place is small, but it is extremely rich, it seems that it was one of the top 100 counties and cities in the country a long time ago.

The game has to be played in four rounds, so Li Xiangping is going to stay there for about a week, and it is precisely because of the fact that he will go there for so long this time, so after Li Xiangping left the chess academy, he called Yaya, preparing to accompany his girlfriend more in the next few days.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he took out his mobile phone, the phone rang at this time, it was Yaya's:

"Hey, Xiangping, are you done with the game?"

"I just finished getting off and was about to look for you."

"I'm looking for you, too, and I have good news for you."

"Oh?"
