After a few old foxes approached, they saw that Li Xiangping and Gu Dali had already begun to review there.

Well, it's the kind of very serious and serious review, and the two of them are now like the kind of typical technical otaku, if there is no one to discuss the technical issues that only they are interested in, they don't even notice the approach of others.

A few old foxes didn't go up to disturb them, and even reporter Zhang Da just stood far away and stopped to watch.

A few minutes later, several old foxes turned around, and Team Leader Hua smiled and said to Team Leader Ma:

"Ma Xiao, you say, the current Gu Dali, is that a bit like you more than ten years ago?"

To tell the truth, when reporter Zhang Da heard the words of Team Leader Hua, he was a little confused at the time, Gu Dali was like Ma Xiaofei? How similar are the two? From the chess style, from the personality, from the growth environment, and even from the appearance, the two have no similarities at all.

However, what reporter Zhang Da didn't expect was that Ma Xiaofei himself actually nodded in agreement:

"Well, now it seems that the role of the game of chess in the last round of armor is still quite big, maybe it may be possible to really help Gu Dali pierce that layer of window paper."

As soon as Ma Xiaofei's words came out, especially when he heard the keyword "window paper", Zhang Xiaoyong, as a senior Go reporter, naturally understood it instantly.

The most famous, classic, and clearest story of "piercing the window paper" in the Go world, of course, happened to Ma Xiaofei more than ten years ago:

At that time, Ma Xiaofei and Japan's Kobayashi Koichi Jiudan fought many times in the "Sino-Japanese Celebrity Competition", and they were defeated and defeated repeatedly in the past few years, so after Ma Xiaofei finally defeated Mr. Kobayashi Koichi for the first time------

The case of "piercing the window paper" with the clearest boundaries in the game of Go was born: marked by that series, Ma Xiaofei was only considered a first-class chess player, and after that series, he was immediately recognized as a super-first-class chess player in the field of human Go in the chess world at that time.

So Gu Dali's win over Shi Da Chess Saint's game last month can play such a role?

Just as reporter Zhang Da was about to think seriously about this issue, he heard Ma Xiaofei himself suddenly laughing:

"Hehe, it's still not like it."

Reporter Zhang Da subconsciously asked: "Why is it not like it?" ”

"Hehe, when I was chasing Mr. Kobayashi, that person Kobayashi was also a senior, not to mention that he was older than me, in fact, he was at the peak of his personal chess skills at that time, and then there was no inch of progress, but look at these two today, tsk......."

Speaking of this, Ma Xiaofei shook his head, as if he didn't know how to continue.

Reporter Zhang Da turned around and looked at the two who were reviewing the game again, but happened to see Li Xiangping pointing at the chessboard, saying something to Gu Dali with a smile, and Gu Dali, who was a few years older than him, was now listening carefully with his chin in one hand, looking like he was humbly asking for advice.

And his expression was so natural, as if it were all as it should be.

"Tut-tut......." Reporter Zhang Da also shook his head, he didn't know what to say like Team Leader Ma.

“........ With the appearance of Li Xiangping, will he change the judging criteria for super-first-class chess players in the future?......."

Since Ma Xiaofei was still present, reporter Zhang Da held back his words and did not say it to his face.

The review of Li Xiangping and Gu Dali cannot last forever, although after today's game, the semi-finals and finals are already in the second half of the year, but the draw for the semi-finals will still be held.

At around 7:30 in the evening, when Li Xiangping and Chang Hao's hands were held together, he was actually confused.

Li Xiang said in his heart, what is going on? Isn't the semi-final 2-2 between China and South Korea, how can this become a Chinese civil war and a Korean civil war?

Fortunately, Li Xiangping was not stunned for long, and the next day, he returned to the capital with the large army, and Dean Wang explained to him in detail the causes and consequences of this kind of thing:

"This is actually caused by historical reasons........

After Dean Wang used such a sentence as his opening remarks, he told Li Xiangping eloquently, and after listening to Wang Lao's explanation, Li Xiangping understood a little bit of the ins and outs of the matter:

The first "Ying's Cup" was founded in 1988, when Li Xiangping was only two years old, when the competition was founded in that era, there were actually many obstacles, and the biggest obstacle was actually two, first: the founder of the competition, Mr. Ying, was a native of Wanwan, and second: China and South Korea had not yet established diplomatic relations at that time.

It was precisely because of the existence of these obstacles that the Go people at that time thought of a way to downplay the influence of political factors: that is, all the participating players did not participate in the name of the country, but only represented various cities.

“....... Alas! But even if we tried our best to downplay it, there were still a lot of twists and turns in the back,"

Dean Wang sighed, and then he continued to say to Li Xiangping: "For example, Xiangping, you should know now that in the 2nd competition, because of the demon in Wanwan, we Chinese chess players did not participate, and when the environment of the 3rd and 4th sessions improved, Mr. Ying died unexpectedly during this period, so now, although "representing the city in the competition" is rarely mentioned, but in fact, it has not been eliminated from the rules, so Mr. Xiao Ying specially emphasized this rule this time, of course, we also express our understanding and support. ”

Hearing Dean Wang's words, Li Xiangping recalled this competition in real history, when Chang Hao finally won the championship in the ninth section, Mr. Xiao Ying also burned his final championship chess game in front of Mr. Ying's tomb.

Therefore, although Li Xiangping is a little scornful, of course his approach to Mr. Xiaoying this time is also understandable.

"Hehe, Dean Wang, which city am I representing this time?"

I didn't think that this question really stopped Dean Wang, after all, this was the old rule more than ten years ago, and now no one cares about this, and the team leader next to him flipped through the registration form for a while, and then told Li Xiangping the answer:

"Well, when I signed up, Wen Dong filled in for you to represent Hongcheng in the competition."

"Huh?!"

Seeing Li Xiangping's exaggerated expression, Team Leader Wang asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hehe, nothing."

Li Xiangping's hometown of Ganyuan Province, although he is not from Hongcheng, but Hongcheng is the provincial capital of Ganyuan after all, so it is of course normal for Zhang Wendong to fill in the ninth section like this.

It's just that many people from other provinces don't know, in fact, in Ganyuan Province, this provincial capital is actually very unpopular with the people of other cities, and in the ranking of provincial capitals, Hongcheng definitely ranks among the top 3 in the country, and it is the kind of existence that sits on three and looks at one.

At first, Li Xiangping couldn't figure out how this situation could happen, but when he grew up, he also had a certain understanding:

First of all, the dialects of the province are very different, to say that although the area of Ganyuan Province is not very large in the whole country, there are many dialects in it, and there are many kinds of language families.

Hongcheng's generation is called the authentic "Ganyuan native dialect", but in some cities to the east of it, the dialect has evolved from the "Jianghuai official dialect", and in the southwest of the province, some places have become "southwest official dialect".

As for some cities further south, such as Li Xiangping's hometown, most areas speak Hakka.

Obviously, this difference in dialects will bring a certain centrifugal force, making it difficult for everyone to have a strong sense of identity with the province.

The second reason is that Hongcheng has no characteristics, no fame, and nothing to make the people of the province proud.

For example, in terms of fame, Jingdezhen, the former "Changnan", wants to kill Hongcheng's fame in seconds. Wheel historical heritage, out of Wen Tianxiang, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Tang Xianzu and other historical celebrities of the city, they can look at Hongcheng with a bird's-eye gaze.

It is precisely because of this that when Ganyuan was jokingly called "the province with the least sense of existence in the country" by the people of the whole country, most of the people in the province agreed that of course this pot needs to be carried by Hongcheng.

That's all it takes, but many Hongcheng people are still unconscious, and they feel very good in the province, and they are like a big brother everywhere, so there is nothing to say, which will naturally cause discomfort and even disgust among the people of other cities.

For example, the famous "hometown of talents" in Ganyuan, although the current economy is a lot behind, but people say that our ancestors are still wide, and what are you dragging in Hongcheng? Occupy the best piece of land in the province, and then get almost all the resources in the province, and finally develop into that bird-like, so why are you putting a score in front of me?

Another example is the famous porcelain capital Jingdezhen, to say that Jingdezhen is actually very close to Hongcheng, the two cities are not only close, but also the same language family, the dialects of the two places are highly similar, so similar that even Li Xiangping and other people in the province can not distinguish between them.

But in Jingdezhen, tourists must not say that the local dialect is very similar to Hongcheng dialect, because if you dare to say this, most of the people of Jingdezhen will drag you down, and then tell you very seriously: the dialect they speak is completely different from Hongcheng dialect, as for the difference? They can explain for more than half an hour and won't let you go until you show your approval.

In the midst of such imagination, Li Xiangping returned to the capital. After returning to the capital, he took stock of the recent events again.

The next most important international tournament is the Toyota Cup, which starts at the end of April, but since he is the defending champion, the first stage is just a game of chess.

After this game of chess, the whole month of May is the qualifier time, and the qualifiers for the "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup" will start one after another.

Of course, there is nothing to do with Li Xiangping.

It is precisely because of this that in the next two months, Li Xiangping's schedule is actually quite relaxed, except for a few sets of international matches, there is only one Weijia and one CCTV Cup.

So compared to Weijia, Li Xiangping naturally aimed at the CCTV Cup, after all, he has already passed the pre-selection, as long as he can win 5 sets in a row, it will be another champion.

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, anyway, you have nothing to do, do you want to practice rapid chess.......
