This year's "Samsung Cup" quarterfinals will be held in Seoul, South Korea on October 7.

This is also Li Xiangping's first official professional game in October, so from the end of September to the National Day Golden Week, he is actually relatively idle, with nearly 10 days of free time.

It's just that this time, Li Xiangping didn't go outside to wave, didn't go to spend all day drinking, and didn't go to pick up girls, considering the fierce battles in the back, he still stayed at home honestly most of the time, while studying dog tricks, and preparing for the later games.

The time came on October 4th, and Li Xiangping, who had just finished a game of "left and right fighting" with Lao Shi, stretched his waist:

"Alas, I'm really tired, no, no, Brother Ding'an, but I can't play anymore, playing chess with you is too tiring, I'm afraid that if I play with you again, I'm afraid I'll have to lose my life." --------

Li Xiangping's words are really not too exaggerated, among all his current training methods, "fighting left and right" with Lao Shi is undoubtedly the most tiring, which is much more tiring than the next official professional match.

And he now has two ways of "fighting left and right", one is up and down the normal chessboard, and the other is playing on the 21-way chessboard.

originally thought that it would be more tiring to "fight left and right" on the big chessboard, but even Li Xiangping himself didn't expect that now, it would be more tiring to train on the normal 19-way chessboard.

Now according to Li Xiangping's own experience, he feels that this thing is actually quite normal.

Although the 21-way chessboard is larger, there should be more theoretical changes, but for Li Xiangping and Lao Shi, most of the changes on the 21-way chessboard are actually unfamiliar to them (the "unfamiliar" here does not refer to specific means, but how to judge these changes on the big chessboard, and it is in the field of "judgment" that the two still have too many unknowns)

In fact, it is this kind of "unknown" that makes it much easier for the two to train-------

It's like two stinky baskets playing chess on a normal chessboard, because they don't think far and don't count much, so sometimes even if they play 10 games and 8 games in a row, the stinky basket won't feel tired.

On the 21-way chessboard, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi are actually stinky chess baskets now, so of course they won't be too tired when playing this kind of chess.

But the normal 19-way chessboard is different, after all, both of them are the top masters in the field of human Go, whether some judgments are right or wrong, but there are many such judgments, and most of the cognition of Go has been deeply rooted.

However, the "left and right fighting" of the two actually wants to break this deep-rootedness, so they seek innovation and change every time.

Whether it is Li Xiangping or Lao Shi, they don't take the usual path when they are "fighting left and right", and most of the moves are trying their best to seek new and change.

What's more, the two of them are not learning from Xiao Li, but also pursuing the rationality of their own laws.

That's nothing to say, training with this method, the gain is undoubtedly huge, such as Li Xiangping, every time he plays a game of chess, he feels that he has a deeper understanding of Go, but at the same time of the huge gain, he is tired to death playing this kind of chess.

For example, this time, Li Xiangping trained at home for a week, in fact, he only played "left and right fighting" twice, it only took 2 days to play the "left and right fighting" on the 21-way big chessboard, and the "left and right fighting" on the normal chessboard in the back took 5 days.

As for the harvest, although there are also harvests from the previous plate, Li Xiangping can't figure out whether it is a real harvest or a fake harvest.

In other words, Li Xiangping couldn't be sure whether the things he comprehended on the 21-way chessboard were right or wrong.

Compared with it, what he comprehended on the normal chessboard, Li Xiangping felt much more real, especially the judgment of some chess shapes or changes, he felt quite clear.

After a brief exchange of experiences with his plug-in, Li Xiangping decided to stop here this time, after all, the competition is imminent, the so-called way of literature and martial arts, after high-intensity training, it is of course necessary to relax appropriately.

Li Xiangping dialed Zhao Daokai's phone, but there was only a burst of blind sounds, and he didn't know where this guy went.

Helplessly hung up the phone, Li Xiangping really didn't know where to go, because since he came to the capital, although he has known many people, he really has few friends.

Especially there are very few friends of the same age who can play, such as him, a "high school student", usually because of playing chess, now he can't even recognize his classmates, and there are still situations where people and names don't match.

Li Xiangping thought about it, but remembered the incident of "Chu Lao" a few days ago, and remembered that the national junior team selection match was being held in the chess academy, and saw that there was nothing to do, so he slipped to the chess academy again.

It's very interesting, when he just arrived at the gate of the chess academy, he unexpectedly saw a special person, this person was none other than his "nemesis" in his previous life, and his current professional second Duan Yanqing classmate.

Of course, Li Xiangping is no longer what it used to be, the grudge that was not a grudge at all in his previous life has long been put down, and he knows that Yan Qing, who is a little older than himself, has now given up the professional Go road, he has entered the university, and has actively sought to develop in other aspects, so after meeting at the gate of the chess academy, Li Xiangping greeted him warmly.

Yan Qing also responded enthusiastically.

It can actually be seen from his speech, demeanor, demeanor and expression that since Li Xiangping has been put down, the people don't take it to heart, and they don't feel embarrassed because they have been "Li Xiangping's nemesis", and there is nothing unnatural about facing Li Xiangping today.

"Okay Xiangping, I'm still in a bit of a hurry today, so let's get together another day, but before I go, I want to ask you for one thing."

"One thing please? ....... You say you say. ”

"Please continue to dominate the world chess arena, especially don't always lose to the same person, and then let me enjoy the reputation of "Li Xiangping's nemesis", how cool it is. ”

Li Xiangping laughed: "Hahaha must be, don't worry, I will do my best to prevent people from taking away this glory that belongs to you." ”

Saying goodbye to Yan Qing, Li Xiangping went up to the second floor of the chess academy with a happy mood, first looked at the schedule hanging on the wall, but found that today was the last round of the trials, and before he could read the specific battle report, he soon saw that the "Second Wu" ----- Coach Wu and Wu Zhaoyi Jiuduan were talking and laughing in a corner.

After all, it's definitely not good to make a big deal about signing someone when it doesn't work out, so Li Xiangping came up with a smile, nodded to Wu Zhaoyi Jiuduan first, said hello, and then said to Coach Wu:

"How's it going now?"

"Hey! It's done, we just calculated the points, even if the child loses this round, the top three basically didn't run, his small score is extremely high, unless there is a particularly extreme situation, otherwise joining our team is a certainty. ”

Li Xiangping was surprised: "Yo, how well you played? Since the score is extremely high, does it prove that you have won all the way ahead? So in this last round, is winning the championship? ”

The national youth selection tournament is a Swiss competition, so it is not surprising that Li Xiangping guessed like this, in fact, he guessed correctly at all, Wu Zhaoyi Jiuduan answered with a smile at this time:

"Hehe's good, Jiaxi won 7 wins and 1 loss in the first 8 rounds, and there was no winner in this selection, and his small score is high, so if he wins this round, then he should be the champion."

Li Xiangping was even more surprised, he didn't know who the champion of this selection tournament was in real history, so he didn't know if this was the case in real history for "Chu Lao" to win the championship------ or if this guy really had a big heart, and the news revealed in advance not only did not affect him, but may have stimulated him and made him try his best to play a good game.

"Hehe, Mr. Wu, congratulations, you have taught a good apprentice......."

"Where is it, it's still Xiangping's discerning eyes......."

The two blew each other in business, and waited for Li Xiangping to ask casually: Then who is his opponent today?

His attention was instantly grabbed.

Because Coach Wu told him that Chu Jiaxi's opponent today is Shi Yue, the famous "one dragon per game" Shi Yue in later generations.

"Oh, this should be a title fight, right? Let's go to Mr. Wu, Coach Wu, let's go see this championship battle......."

Of course, it is impossible to prohibit people from watching such a tryout, especially this is Li Xiangping, don't look at him not much older than most of the chess players who are playing today, but he is now the idol or target of most of the people here.

So when he walked through the crowd, he was frequently greeted by the attention of the little chess players.

Li Xiangping maintained what he thought was the most personable smile and shuttled through the largest training room on the second floor of the chess academy.

In fact, up to now, he is familiar with most of the people here, but when he walked to the middle, he couldn't help but look at another little chess player a few more times----- because this person was Tang Weixing's classmate, the "Tang Elder" and "Tang Xuanzong" of the little leopard generation.

Li Xiangping smiled even more, but he didn't stop, but continued to walk forward------

Because looking at the position where my Da Xuanzong is sitting now, I know that he is not better this time, and his positions are all ranked after the middle stream, and that position is basically impossible to be selected for the national junior team.

And Li Xiangping also vaguely remembered that Elder Tang seemed to be a few years younger than the other two, so it was not surprising that he didn't play well this time, and his experience was rather peculiar, he won the "Evening Cup" championship before entering the section.

And he also won twice, the first time after winning the "Evening Cup", he turned out to be hot, and that year he failed to pass the fixed-stage competition, and it was not until the second "Evening Cup" won the championship that he became a professional chess player.

And this time, he should be the champion of the "Evening News Cup" and specially participate in the selection of the national junior team.

Li Xiangping soon came to the first station, watching the competition between the two "little leopard generation" world champions in real history, when Li Xiangping came over, this game of chess had played more than 100 hands, and the two of them were fighting fiercely.

Li Xiangping didn't watch it for long, and it was less than half an hour or so, and he probably had a score in his heart: the victory of "one dragon per game" was almost a foregone conclusion, which means that "Chu Lao" could only get a substitute contract for the time being.

After judging the situation, Li Xiangping couldn't help but take a few more glances at the "average dragon per game", and secretly felt sorry for this handsome and shy young man-------

In fact, in his previous life, except for Ke Shaoxia's big demon king level, Li Xiangping was the most optimistic about this little friend, thinking that although his talent may be slightly inferior to Ke Shaoxia, it is only a thin line, and he may still be slightly better than others.

It may be slightly better than Chen Xiaoqiang and "Two Rice and One Rice" and others, and it should be much better than Elder Chu Jiaxi and Tang others.

It's a pity that after he won the world championship once, he quickly drifted away, especially when Li Xiangping crossed, every time he watched his chess, he would give people a feeling of powerlessness.

At first, Li Xiangping was very strange, and couldn't figure out how the dignified "average dragon" could become like this.

Later, a chess fan friend who was more familiar with the inside story told Li Xiangping: "One dragon per game" is wasted on the glory of kings.

Li Xiangping didn't watch all the games, and he chose to leave before most of the games were completely finished.

Seeing Li Xiangping say goodbye, Coach Wu smiled and said, "Hehe Xiangping, don't you look at it for a while?" ”

Li Xiangping responded with a smile: "No, since the suspense disappears, there's nothing to see, okay, two Teacher Wu, I'll go first, and I'm going to prepare for the game in South Korea......."

Li Xiangping went downstairs and prepared to go home, to be honest, when he saw these "little leopard generation" elites just now, he really thought about whether to sign these people and then form a super team at the level of the "Universe Team".

However, he soon abandoned the idea.

There are two reasons for giving up, first: these elite calves of the little leopard generation are really not so easy to sign, the situation in the Go world is different from other industries, people in the Go world are famous for their poisonous eyes, many children once they show their talents, they will soon be informed by the coaches of each team, and then they will be like Chen Xiaoqiang, like "one dragon per game", like "two meals and one rice", and even like Elder Tang, they will be grasped by everyone early and focused on training.

To be honest, this time it was "Chu Lao", which was successfully picked up by Li Xiangping.

The second reason is that Li Xiangping considers that Go is a niche sport after all, and since it is a niche, if you organize a super team, then Weijia may be even less fun, which may further reduce the attractiveness of this league.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Xiangping gave up the previous idea.

After Li Xiangping came downstairs, he met Gu Daliliu Town Chang Hao and a few other brothers:

"Let's go, mastermaster, let's kick the ball."

This proposal received a warm response from Li Xiangping: "Okay, I'll change my clothes and go to ......."

When Li Xiangping changed his clothes and rushed to the court, he found that there seemed to be one less person who often played football, and the person who was missing was none other than his opponent in the next game, Wang Lei Baduan.

"Huh......."

Before Li Xiangping could ask, Chang Hao pointed to a place not far away and joked to Li Xiangping:

"Xiangping, I feel like you might win without a fight this time."

Li Xiangping looked in the direction he pointed, and after reading it, he was also happy:

"Haha, I think it's ....... too"

In fact, he didn't see anything, in fact, he just saw a pair of lovers, Wang Lei Baduan was dragged away by his girlfriend who was a teacher in Beihang University.
