In the 17th round of the Wai League, Li Xiangping lost to Zhou Heyang Jiuduan by half an eye, suffering the second defeat of the season.

His defeat quickly caused heated discussions in major Go forums in China, and everyone's topic was very funny, and many chess fans felt that it was necessary to revise the standard of "new super first-class".

Come to think of it, a group of die-hard fans of Li Xiangping just came up with a standard last year, saying that as long as they can win a game against Li Xiangping, they can be called the new super-first-class in today's chess world.

Last year, there were four players who won against Lee Xiangping, namely South Korea's Lee Gagu and Chang Ho, and last year, most chess fans didn't have much controversy about these four players.

However, this year, it was Chen Yaoyue and Zhou Heyang who won Li Xiangping, which suddenly led to a problem, saying that these two are also super-first-class now? To be honest, the vast majority of Chinese chess fans are embarrassed to say this.

It is precisely because they are embarrassed that Li Xiangping's brain-dead fans are very unhappy, and they actually have a feeling of being slapped in the face by Li Xiangping.

Of course, brain-dead fans, even if they are slapped in the face again, they won't blame their idols, brain-dead fans think about it, and feel that they can only blame the rules, and it is the standards they have set that have problems, which has produced two fake super-first-class.

So in this way, the Internet discussion began, with Li Xiangping's brainless fans as the main force, a group of idle chess fans began to formulate new super-first-class standards.

As a result, they really made a strange double standard standard.

The new criteria are as follows: if it is a foreign chess player who defeats Li Xiangping, the original rules remain unchanged, which means that as long as a foreign chess player wins Li Xiangping one game, it will be considered a new super first-class. However, this is not the case with Chinese players, who must defeat Li Xiangping more than twice (including two games) before they can be recognized as a new super-first-class.

To tell the truth, in fact, there are many chess fans who are very unimpressed with this new standard, thinking that such a red fruit double standard, how can it be passed like this?

However, there is no way, who let the person who presided over the formulation of this standard be based on Li Xiangping's brainless fans. Brainless fans, how can I reason with you. They said eloquently, everyone knows that their idol competitions have double standards, international competitions are extremely important, and domestic competitions occasionally paddle, otherwise they would not have brought a hat of a layman in the civil war in the early years.

Since you can play chess with a double standard, isn't it normal for the new super-first-class standard formulated by him to also have a double standard?

There is no way, by now, Li Xiangping's brainless fans are overwhelming, and he has become the number one force in the major Go forums, so even if this standard is strange enough, it has been forcibly passed by them.

As a party to Li Xiangping, because he is still in military training, he didn't notice the excitement on the Internet.

Even in his own opinion, his loss to Zhou Heyang Jiudan this time was normal, and it was not worth making a fuss about at all.

Don't look at Zhou Heyang, who is the same age as Chang Hao, who is nearly 30 years old, he is already an out-and-out veteran from the perspective of future generations.

However, he is actually at the peak of his career.

In real history, this year, he and Da Li were supposed to compete for the "Chunlan Cup" championship, and shortly after losing the "Chunlan Cup", he reached the "Fujitsu Cup" final again.

In Zhou Jiuduan's previous career, his only two World Series finals were during this period, so the next year or so was certainly the peak of his career.

Li Xiangping has always believed that he lost to a South Korean stalwart Park Zhengxiang Jiudan in the "Fujitsu Cup" final, which made Zhou Jiuduan hurt his vitality and made him really drift away.

The "Fujitsu Cup" final in real history should be in 06, and there is still more than half a year to go, so he lost to Zhou Heyang at this time, Li Xiangping didn't think too much about it except for a few simple exchanges with himself.

"Brother Ding'an, now it seems that I also have flaws in my current play, especially against chess players of Zhou Jiuduan's style, but it just magnifies this flaw."

"Hehe, what Xiangping Xiaoyou said, but there is some truth to it."

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard this, on this point, he could be regarded as a consensus with Lao Shi.

Li Xiangping's recent approach, to put it bluntly, is a kind of "waiting" thinking, not pursuing active offense in the early stage of the game, and waiting for the opponent to show flaws in defense.

In the past, this way of thinking was used to deal with Gu Dali, Lee Sedol, and this kind of offensive chess player, because this kind of play was nowhere to be found, coupled with his own reputation, so when playing against these people, it would cause them an unexpected pressure, and they would habitually ponder their intentions for each move, for fear that this was behind those insipid means, whether they were hiding any conspiracy.

Of course, they won't know that there is really no conspiracy in this kind of move, let alone any follow-up moves.

But they won't believe it.

The more they don't believe it, the more likely they are to be suspicious, and the more suspicious they are, the more likely they are to be impatient and then make unscrupulous moves------

Starting from the "Fujitsu Cup" final win over Gu Dali, Li Xiangping's recent victories are basically this routine.

It's a pity that this routine is not effective when applied to Zhou Heyang's nine sections.

Because Zhou Heyang Jiuduan is the kind of "thick and heavy" chess style, it is the kind that has basically disappeared in the dog era, no, it is the style that is relatively rare in the era of the "little leopard generation" in later generations.

This is actually a kind of "waiting" style, the kind of style that can never take the initiative to shoot, rely on the thick momentum to play slowly, and pay attention to the style of being the last to strike.

This is actually the key to Li Xiangping's loss.

Because neither of them took the initiative to make a move, this would lead to a long stalemate.

And Li Xiangping's official level has not yet reached the top level.

Coupled with the fact that he has been training in the military recently, his chess skills must be a little rusty, and the opponent is at his peak of personal strength, so many factors come together to contribute to his second set defeat of the season.

"Alas~~ In fact, in the final analysis, I still lack chess skills, and I am still in the first realm, at least in the official realm, far from reaching the second realm, Brother Ding'an, do you say yes or no?"

"Hehe, don't be anxious, Xiangping Xiaoyou, now there are still 10 years before the dog was born, compared to the prelude in the middle of the game, the official is relatively simple, you have a lot of time to make up for this lesson."

Li Xiangping smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, who said I was in a hurry, I just just felt it." ”

Indeed, only losing a game of armor matching, of course, will not make Li Xiangping anxious, so after summarizing the reasons for defeat with Lao Shi, what should Li Xiangping do or what should he do, military training should be military training, and leave the game should be taken off from the game, except for the "mastery guide" The number of online times has been greatly reduced, and the days are no different from before.

When the time came to mid-October, the one-month military training finally ended, and Li Xiangping's hard days finally arrived.

Freshman, Li Xiangping is now a freshman, and in the first year of college, no matter what major he is, of course, he is mainly based on basic courses and public courses.

Looking at what advanced mathematics, what English, and what Ma Yuan, Li Xiangping is simply a head and two big.

Half a month after the start of school, Zhao Daokai ran from Huajiadi to Wudaokou and ridiculed Li Xiangping:

"Hah, I'm just saying this guy has masochistic tendencies, right? It's not appropriate to be a good chess master, you have to run to this place to find abuse, how about Li Da chess saint, the scenery of this unnamed lake is okay? ”

"Get out!"

Being ridiculed like this by a dead party, Li Xiangping really doesn't know what it feels like, although this pair of difficult brothers and sisters are scumbags, now one is entering Peking University and the other is entering the Academy of Fine Arts, from the bright side, the brand of Peking University is much bigger than the Academy of Fine Arts, but only Li Xiangping knows what it feels like.

Although the brand of the Academy of Fine Arts is small, Zhao Daokai is a professional counterpart, and he just plays his strengths in that place.

But what about yourself? Peking University does not have a Go major, so it is mixed in with a group of top students------

To tell the truth, in fact, after coming here, the people around him were very good to him, but Li Xiangping himself had a feeling, he felt as if he had become the mascot here, the mascot of the unnamed lake.

Of course, no one wants to be a mascot, so this feeling made Li Xiangping very unhappy, and it also made him regret his choice for the first time.

However, there is no way, there is no regret medicine in the world, even if Li Xiangping regrets it again, it is impossible for him to choose to drop out of school at this time, otherwise this will immediately become a big news sensation across the country, so in the next few years, he will have to find a way to survive even if he is hard.

"By the way, Li Daqisheng, how much did you score in the English test of the college entrance examination this year?"

"58 points, what's wrong?"

"Haha!"

Li Xiangping was a little annoyed by this guy's strange joke:

"What about you, Zhao Da Painter, how much did you score in mathematics? By the way, don't tell me that you don't have to take high math classes in your art academy. ”

"Of course you have to go," Zhao Daokai didn't care:

"But I've long understood that as far as my classmates are concerned, most of them are as scummy in math as me, like the perverts around you."

Li Xiangping became more and more depressed when he heard this, which was also the main reason why he regretted it the most.

"Alas~ What's the matter, you can't fail the course in the first semester......"

After blowing Zhao Daokai's guy away, Li Xiangping began to think seriously about this serious issue.

From the end of October to the beginning of November, Li Xiangping participated in two professional competitions again, namely the quarterfinals of the "Samsung Cup" and the quarterfinals of the "LG Cup".

In the two matches, Li Xiangping defeated South Korea's Park Yongxun and Japan's Wang Licheng respectively, once again showing a relatively stable competitive state.

However, he only participated in these two matches, and he originally had two rounds of the tournament during this period, but because these two rounds were away, he gave up these two sets under the pressure of hanging the department.

The time entered November, and for Li Xiangping, the most important remaining tasks were of course the "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup", so he set off again.

The first is the "Samsung Cup", and his opponent in the semifinals is none other than his old rival Li Canghao.
