There was a rest day halfway through the individual competition, and on the rest day, Li Xiangping was entangled.

And his entanglement is of course easy to understand, in the final analysis, it is actually a matter of face. Think about it, the dignified world champion, the most shining supernova in the entire world chess world, in such a second-rate competition, it doesn't matter if he doesn't get good results, if he is eliminated halfway...... All in all, Li Xiangping really felt that he couldn't afford to lose that person.

Of course, his plug-in also saw his entanglement, so Lao Shi said to Li Xiangping:

"Little friend Xiangping, if you don't play this game of chess, let me play it."

Li Xiangping fell silent.

It's already October, and I crossed it in August last year, that is to say, I can now use the 15 rounds of the second year of the "quota", so at this juncture, do you want to use up a precious "quota"?

After Li Xiangping thought about it, he finally rejected Lao Shi's proposal and decided to play in person. He made this decision based on two considerations, first of all, the "quota" of 15 rounds is too precious, you must know that it is now the end of October, and there are still 2 months to go until the new year. Because of this "Samsung Cup", he qualified for next year's World Series.

Li Xiangping has now been able to determine the six items he needs to participate in: "Chunlan Cup", "Samsung Cup", "LG Cup", "Fujitsu Cup", "Toyota Cup" and "Nongshim Cup".

There are so many world competitions to participate in, Li Xiangping is still having a headache about how to distribute the 15 rounds of "quota", whether you need to consider giving up a few items, and then selectively pick a few major competitions to make key breakthroughs or something.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Xiangping feels that it is too wasteful to use up a "quota" in this kind of domestic competition, and it is really useless to use plug-ins to pretend to be forced, so it is really not interesting for Lao Shi to cut his own people in the domestic arena.

Li Xiangping is in the second consideration, well, this can't actually be said to be a consideration, it can only be said that the current Li Xiangping, he was fooled by his words a few days ago.

Lao Shi said that his Go talent is really good, even enough to compete with Fan Xiping, is this true?

Of course, Li Xiangping didn't know whether this was true or not, but now he really wanted to try it and see what kind of height he could reach after his own efforts. Anyway, since he knew that his plug-in was a "restricted level", Li Xiangping has been thinking about it, as if he has been using a plug-in bag to fight the world, it is really not a thing.

After figuring out everything and making up his mind, Li Xiangping said to his plug-in:

"Brother Ding'an, this game of chess is not necessary, I should play it myself."

"Okay, Xiangping little friend come on tomorrow." After hearing Li Xiangping say that he decided to go down by himself, Lao Shi seemed very happy, and he said to Li Xiangping again:

"So Xiangping Xiaoyou, do we need to make targeted preparations tonight according to tomorrow's opponent?"

"Ready, ready."

When Li Xiangping said this, he was actually a little listless again. Although he decided to go on his own tomorrow, thinking that tomorrow's opponent would be Kong Erjie, Li Xiangping really couldn't raise any strength, let alone any confidence to win.

Now Kong Erjie is already a first-class master in China, and Li Xiangping knows very well that according to his own strength, it is not at the same level as others. That's all there is to it, but Kong Erjie's recent form is still very good, and he is the only player who has won all 6 games so far in this tournament.

The level is not as high as the family, and the state of the people is quite good, so to be honest, Li Xiangping does not have any confidence in tomorrow's game, he thinks that he will definitely be lucky tomorrow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he will die for a lifetime.

But since he has made up his mind to make his own decision, then the preparations that should be made are still to prepare, so after dinner that night, Li Xiangping locked himself in the room alone and began to prepare for tomorrow's game with Lao Shi.

Others also noticed Li Xiangping's actions, but no one made a fuss at this time, after all, his current record was almost beyond everyone's expectations, and no one thought that the dignified world champion who could pick Li Canghao off the horse in the chess match actually achieved a record of 2 wins and 4 losses so far.

It can be said that it is precisely because everyone feels that this result is abnormal, so on the contrary, Li Xiangping's behavior tonight has become normal.

Li Xiangping began to prepare for the game in a hurry, but it was a pity that he and Lao Shi prepared for a long time, from more than 6 o'clock in the evening to more than 10 o'clock in the evening, but in fact, it was a bit ungraspable, and Li Xiangping felt that he had not gained much.

Thinking about this situation, it is actually normal, everyone often says that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds. Li Xiangping believes that this is actually applicable to the field of Go, the so-called pre-game preparation, or the preparation of targeted strategies according to specific opponents, which usually only takes effect when the strength is comparable, if the strength difference is too large, such preparation is really not big.

At almost half past ten o'clock in the evening, Li Xiangping became more and more listless, and he said to Lao Shi listlessly:

"Forget it, Brother Ding'an, let's stop here tonight, tomorrow's game, then we can only take one step at a time."

"Hehe, don't be discouraged, through tonight's research, haven't you noticed a weakness of tomorrow's opponent?"

"Oh? What did Brother Ding'an find? ”

Li Xiangping was a little more energetic, and he hurriedly asked about his plug-in. At this time, Lao Shi refused to say it himself, seeing that he didn't squeak, Li Xiangping also woke up, but tomorrow he has to go on his own, and today's research is actually just to read some of Kong Erjie's chess games, if Lao Shi has to say this, then today's preparations are not invalid?

Li Xiangping used his brain, he synthesized his understanding of Kong Erjie in his previous life, and began to think about what weaknesses his chess had in the end.

Don't say it, after Li Xiangping thought about it for a while, he really found a clue. And after having a little idea, Li Xiangping gradually showed a smile on his face.

What Li Xiangping thought of was that at the peak of Kong Erjie, he used to have a nickname, and he was called "the strongest professional chess player", or "the most professional professional chess player". And his statement as the "strongest professional chess player" actually corresponds to Gu Dali's title of "the strongest amateur chess player".

This means that at his peak, Gu Da was extremely powerful, and he was often able to make unexpected strong moves, and these moves seemed to be very "amateurish", hence the saying "the strongest amateur chess player".

Correspondingly, Kong Erjie is like an internal master who cultivates the authenticity of Xuanmen, he is upright in every move and style, and his "professionalism" is incomparable, and he is even a model for all professional chess players to learn, so he has the saying of "the strongest professional chess player".

In real history, Kong Erjie's peak period was about 08 to 09 years, and at that time, his title should be a kind of praise for him, even a high praise.

However, Li Xiangping is a person who has seen Go AI after all, and now looking back, he thinks that the statement of "the strongest professional chess player" is really not a compliment, and it can even be said that Kong Erjie's biggest weakness is likely to be hidden in this place.

At this time, Li Xiangping even inexplicably remembered Japan's veteran super-first-class Otake hero Kudan, Mr. Otake was known as the "aesthetic chess player", known as a "vulgar hand and foolish shape" in his life.

Li Xiangping now thinks that Kong Erjie's weakness is a bit similar to the weakness of Dazhu Hero, in real history, no one thinks that Gu Dali's strength is stronger than Kong Erjie, but his record is far inferior to Gu Dali, and the number of world champions is also 3 to 8.

Why is this so? Now Li Xiangping believes that this is likely to be the reason.

"Hehe, it seems that we have to make some articles around the characteristics of this 'strongest professional chess player', but how to do this article."

With a little confused thought, Li Xiangping entered the dream and prepared to meet the challenges of the next day.
