Chapter 156: The Battle of the House of Entry
"Jianghu emergency? What does Xiangping Xiaoyou mean, is it for me to come to this game? ”
"And that's exactly what I mean."
Li Xiang said in his heart that I can't help it, seeing that the schedule of Weijia has passed halfway, and the team he is now in the penultimate is ranked second-to-last, it can be said that one foot has stepped on Weiyi, and if you want to stay in Weijia, the most critical thing at present is of course the main position, which can even be said to be the only hope for relegation-----
Because there is a special feature of the competition system of the Chinese Siege League, that is, there is the so-called "main general wins", that is, winning one game in the main general table is roughly equivalent to winning one and a half games in other ordinary stations. So judging from the current situation, if Li Xiangping's team wants to be relegated, the main general's position is very important.
Li Xiangping has calculated that in the future games, the main players must at least ensure a winning rate of more than 60%, so that there is a glimmer of hope for relegation.
In addition to this reason, Li Xiangping also thought that this would not be his 'crossing anniversary' soon? So far, Lao Shi has only played 10 games of chess in the first half of this year, including 2 games of the "Chunlan Cup", 4 games of the "Fujitsu Cup", plus one game of the "Toyota Cup" and 2 games of the "LG Cup".
So even if you add the next "Fujitsu Cup" finals, Lao Shi's "quota" this year actually only needs 11 rounds, and Lao Shi himself said that such a quota cannot be carried forward, and it will be wasted if it is not used up.
"Brother Ding'an, you need to know that it wasn't my intention to let you come to this game, but there is no way, the current situation is stronger than people, this game is very important to me, this is not only about me, but also about the future of my teammates, so I can only bother Brother Ding'an once."
It should be said that Li Xiangping has made the truth very clear, and according to his understanding of Lao Shi, this guy is a person who really likes to play chess, although he has not reached the level of being fond of chess, but as long as he does not break through the 15 official game quota that his embroidery girl explained to him, he basically does not refuse to come to any chess.
For example, until now, Lao Shi still uses the account of "Jueyi" to log in to the Internet, even in the face of some low-level chess friends to play handicap chess, he will happily agree most of the time----
This is actually one of the most important reasons why the popularity of "Jueyi" has remained high.
However, what Li Xiangping didn't expect, Lao Shi actually refused this time.
"Hehe, Xiangping Xiaoyou, why don't you do this game yourself? I look at your recent progress Shenjun, almost can be described as a thousand miles in a day, and the next opponent you may meet, this person's chess style is extremely mellow, in Ding'an's view, this person is the best whetstone, which is extremely beneficial to sharpening your chess skills, it is a pity to give up playing with him, so Ding'an thinks that this game is better than Xiangping Xiaoyou to play by himself. ”
Li Xiangping was happy when he heard this, of course he was happy not because of anything else, but because of Lao Shi's first sentence just now.
"Oh? Does Brother Ding'an also think that my chess skills have improved? ”
"Of course!"
At this time, Lao Shi used a very positive tone, although Li Xiangping couldn't figure out whether what he said at this time was true or false: "Don't hide it from Xiangping Xiaoyou, your chess progress is so fast that I have only seen it in my life, even if it is, even if it is ......."
"Even what?"
"Even my senior brother Xiping, the speed of progress back then is not as fast as you, Brother Xiping's chess skills entered the hall at the age of 16 and became a generation of national players, and in Ding'an's view, if Xiangping Xiaoyou can persevere and insist on sharpening his chess skills, the time of entering the hall will definitely be earlier than my senior brother Xiping."
Hearing Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping was even happier in his heart, Shi Xiangxia and Fan Xiping are not only fellow villagers, they also have a common master named Yu Changhou, so it is not wrong for Lao Shi to call him "Senior Brother Xiping", this is also the second time Lao Shi has compared Fan Xiping and Li Xiangping.
You have to know who Fan Xiping is? is the real "immortal in chess" in Li Xiangping's mind, so compared with Lao Shi and this one, Li Xiangping is of course easy to be complacent.
However, Li Xiangping himself forgot that if the conditions for learning chess are superior, then he can't say that there is no one in the future, but it is definitely unprecedented.
He has a lot of information from later generations, and Lao Shi took him into the arena of major international competitions to feel the atmosphere, and even in the Weijia arena, he met almost all the main players of each team, and he is a first-class master in today's chess world, and he has not only touched it once, but has the opportunity to meet more than 20 times a year.
In addition, he himself has no worries, and he is good friends with Nie Ma and others......
It can be said that if anyone can have such superior conditions as Li Xiangping, even if he is a pig, no, no, no matter how mediocre his qualifications are, there should be no problem if he wants to become an ordinary professional chess player. What's more, Li Xiangping is still talented, otherwise he wouldn't have received so much praise when he was learning chess.
"But Brother Ding'an, you are praising me for my progress here, but why can't I win chess?"
"Hehe, Xiangping Xiaoyou, you can think about it yourself, do you feel that the recent losses are different from the previous losses?"
What is the difference between losing and losing? To be honest, of course Li Xiangping hadn't thought about this problem before, the reality is that of course he only cares about the result, anyway, in his opinion, as long as he loses chess, it's the same, and there is no difference between losing 100 mesh and losing half a mesh.
But now that he is plugged in, Li Xiangping of course has to pretend to think about it:
"Well, in the past, I played against these domestic first-class masters, except for those few games of chess won by sneak attacks, most of the defeats were without resistance, and almost every game was lost in a daze, but recently it seems to be different, in addition to fighting against them still feel powerless, but it will not be as unclear as before, even if it is still in the game, sometimes I can feel that I am not right, and why I lost."
Lao Shi laughed when he heard this: "Haha, isn't this right, you used to lose chess in a daze, but now you can lose clearly, isn't this progress?" Believe me, as long as you persevere and continue to sharpen your chess skills in the right way, then you will always wait until the day when you win the chess game clearly. ”
Li Xiangping has nothing to say, although a gentleman like him doesn't have much "pride", but vanity is always there, since Lao Shi has said this, how can he pretend to be a "heroic dry cloud":
"Brother Ding'an, that's it, this game of chess is still my own, I don't believe it yet, my talent is comparable to Mr. Xiping, can I still deal with a mere "Changmian". ”
Li Xiangping's "Chang Mian" of course refers to Chang Hao Jiuduan, to say that Chang Hao Jiuduan is now the first person in the domestic rating, but because of his lack of competition in the international arena, especially when it comes to critical times, he always drops the chain, so nowadays, chess fans still call him "Chang Mian".
In real history, Chang Hao needed to wait until a few years later to complete a gorgeous counterattack, and finally won 3 world championships after "Liulianya", so to speak, it is precisely because of his vivid interpretation of what is called "repeated defeats", so in the end, his nickname has also changed.
From the "Chang Mian" in the mouth of chess fans to the respected "Chang Ren Sheng".
Since you have made up your mind to play this game by yourself, it is natural to make some preparations for this game of chess in the next period of time.
The date of this game of chess is exactly the end of July, and this time it is the home court of the Shencheng team, so this game has to be played in Shencheng. After this game of chess, Li Xiangping will fly directly from Shencheng to Tokyo to participate in the final of this year's "Fujitsu Cup".
Now there is still about a week before the game, and Li Xiangping can also make some preparations for this game.
It's just a pity, when Li Xiangping really started to prepare for the battle, he found that he really didn't have any good ideas.
The reason why this is the case is, of course, related to Chang Hao's chess style.
To say that although Chang Jiudan is called "Chang Mian" by chess fans, he has been in the position of the first person in the rating for so long, and Chang Hao also has a record, that is, during this period, he has been in the final of the World Series almost every year for nearly 10 years----
Li Xiangping believes that this record is actually quite remarkable, which shows that his level is high and the problem of his state is just because Go is a competitive event, and the characteristic of competitive events is that everyone can only remember the champion, and most of the time even the runner-up is considered a failure, so not many people remember his record.
It can be said that it is precisely because his level is very high and his state has been very stable, which has caused great difficulties for Li Xiangping's preparation. Because Chang Hao's chess style is balanced, he belongs to the most typical "Japanese stream" kung fu chess player.
And everyone knows that Li Xiangping, as the "down" side, is actually the most difficult to impact this kind of "kung fu" chess player.
How to describe it? This is like the Japanese Go world of the year Norio Kudo 9 dan, Kudo 9 dan nicknamed "ruler", this is a typical "kung fu type". And the meaning of "ruler" is that if you can beat Norio Kudo Kudan, it proves that you have really reached the level of professional nine-dan, and vice versa, Kudo nine-dan is a ruler to measure whether a person has a professional nine-dan level.
And Li Xiangping now thinks that for his current self, Chang Hao Jiuduan is also like a ruler, if he can defeat him, then he may soon be able to "enter the hall", if he can't do it, then his cultivation path is still long.
Will you be able to "get into the house"? Li Xiangping didn't know, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, not only did he have no bottom in his heart, but he couldn't even find a clue when preparing for the war.
It was in this state that the date of the competition was fast approaching. At the end of July 2002, Li Xiangping went to Shencheng to participate in his "battle to enter the house".
