On the day of the tiebreaker, Li Xiangping walked to the game room.

"Brother Ding'an, let me ask you, in your time, how long did a game of chess usually take?"

"Our time? That time was much shorter than it is today, and under normal circumstances, a game rarely lasted more than two hours. ”

"Huh? It's so short, it's impossible, right? ”

"How is it impossible?"

"I saw you seniors playing chess, almost all the games were fierce, two hours is the current 4 hours, such a short time, can you count it?"

"Hehe," when the curtain was cleared and moved, the bureau of the True Sect turned white. The veteran Zhou Lang lost his second son, and Chang'an was not a chess player. "Have you ever heard this poem?"

Li Xiangping was really annoyed by people like Lao Shi who recited poetry at every turn, but he still replied honestly:

"You know, this poem seems to say...... The hegemony between Xu Xingyou and Zhou Donghou back then, right? Since Huang Yuetian's predecessors disappeared, Xu Xingyou wanted to dominate Yi Lin, so naturally he had to fight viciously with his predecessors. At that time, the old chess player Zhou Donghou was still there, and this poem, that is, the famous dramatist Kong Yanren at that time, when he watched the game between Zhou and Xu at a dignitary's house, he was moved to do it, yes or no? ”

"Hehe, since you remember it so clearly, do you know when this game will start? When will it end? ”

"This.... According to the records of Nakong Xinren, the two of them started with breakfast and ended at noon, and finally Na Donghou's predecessors lost two sons, thus making Xu Xingyou officially become the overlord of the chess world...... It's true, from breakfast to noon, that's really about 4 hours. ”

"That's right, you just said that this game is related to the hegemony of the chess world, and it is the most important game of our era, and such an important game is only about two hours, in fact, not only this game, but most of the other games are like this, for example, I and Brother Na Xiping played 13 games in Pinghu, in my impression, more than 2 hours are just a few games."

"Really? Then you still play chess quite fast, this is different from the Dongying chess world, you may not know it, Brother Ding'an, in the past, the game of the Dongying chess world is super long, and it can be used for two or three days to play a game, for which there are chess players who have invented time tactics, relying on physical strength to kill the opponent, by the way, then why is the game of my Chinese chess world so short? Does Brother Ding'an know what the reason is? ”

"This ..... I don't know about this Joan, too. ”

"I've heard a saying, it is said to be related to chess, in your time, I heard that there is a habit of "lottery money does not stay overnight", is it not Brother Ding'an? ”

"This ...... I really don't know about this sadaku. ”

Li Xiangping laughed: "Haha pretend!" Brother Ding'an, you can pretend to be me, do you dare to say that you have never played color chess? ”

Lao Shi also smiled, not entangled with Li Xiangping on this issue, in fact, for these ancient chess players, it is impossible not to play color chess, which is almost the main source of livelihood for most chess players.

"By the way, Xiangping Xiaoyou, why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Li Xiang said in his heart, what else can I do, didn't I see that your guy's state this time seems to be a little wrong, so I talked to you before the game? I also thought that your opponent today is Lao Zhao, who is known as the "seven-game chess devil" and is extremely good at playing two-day games, so it is natural to think of the topic of game time?

It's not easy to think about me as a "host", but today I broke my heart for your plug-in. As a traverser, especially as a traverser with a plug-in, there is no one to do my part, if you don't do well today, then you are really sorry for me.

Of course, of course, he couldn't say this to Lao Shi clearly:

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, the time for the game is coming, you better get ready and think about how to play a good game."

After Li Xiangping walked into the game room, after a while, the kung fu opponent also walked in, Lao Zhao was still the same old look, wearing an extremely expensive but crumpled suit, a "chicken nest head" hairstyle, at first glance it looked very sloppy, but after looking at it for a long time, I would feel that this person had a bit of an artist's temperament.

Of course, no one in the Go world thinks that Lao Zhao is an artist, this is a winner, and he is the kind of winner and loser who is among the top in the field of human Go.

After Lao Zhao came in, he smiled at Li Xiangping very friendly, and muttered something in his mouth, but unfortunately Li Xiangping couldn't understand a word, and later Hua Leader, who was still the referee of the game, told him that Lao Zhao was saying "Please be merciful".

Li Xiangping smiled politely at Lao Zhao, and said in his heart that it is impossible for his subordinates to show mercy, Lao Zhao, you are also an old-timer, so don't you know the tradition of our Go world?

"Trying to beat the old-timers" has always been a fine tradition in our Go world, and this is no exception in both Chinese and Japanese chess circles, so how can I be polite to you?

"Yikes! It seems a little wrong, it's Lao Shi who is playing chess today, then the two of them are compared, Lao Shi is the big senior, bah, look at my crow's mouth......."

It was in such a cranky thought that Team Leader Hua announced the start of the game, because it was a tiebreaker, and the game had to be guessed again, so Team Leader Hua first presided over the guess first, and after guessing the order, this game was Li Xiangping's side guessed the black chess.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the game officially began, and after dropping the first move according to Lao Shi's instructions, Li Xiangping immediately focused on the game.

Yes, although Lao Shi successfully won the second set, Li Xiangping is still ready at any time.

Because he suddenly remembered that in the quarterfinals of last year's "Toyota Cup", it was also Lao Shi VS Lao Zhao, and at the end of that game, he relied on himself to find a good move to win the chess.

At that time, he was not as high as he is now, and at that time, Lao Shi did not seem to have ups and downs.

Since this is the case, Li Xiangping of course thinks that he needs to be "always ready" today.

As soon as this spirit was highly concentrated, Li Xiangping immediately had a wonderful experience------

To say that some time ago, he and Lao Shi also practiced "double sword combination", but after all, it was online chess, and most of it was rapid chess with a short time, where could there be as much time as today.

Especially today's opponent Lao Zhao, this is a well-known long test school, and it is said that what is "counting the seconds", so when he is playing, he often begins to squander time in the layout stage, not to mention this kind of 3-hour game, even if it is Japan's "two-day system", Lao Zhao often starts counting seconds within 100 moves.

Today's game is the same, after Li Xiangping helped Lao Shi drop the first hand of chess, it took 5 minutes for Lao Zhao to drop the second hand of chess, and in the 8th hand, he used 10 minutes again, and in the 12th hand, he refused to fall for nearly 15 minutes.

If the second move is easy to understand, after all, at that time, the reporters had not left the game, but for the latter two moves, Li Xiangping could only express his helplessness about it.

Because in his opinion, if it is a key choice, or an important point of disagreement, it is okay, but when it is in the 8th and 12th hands, it is a very ordinary and very common response, and Lao Zhao's choice to fall on the chessboard is not surprising, they are all ordinary road goods, so Li Xiangping really can't figure out whether Lao Zhao is thinking there or pretending to be there.

But no matter what the opponent's situation is, in short, since the opponent is so slow, this gives Li Xiangping time to guess his plug-in method, and test the overlap of the two methods.

That's right, it's the word "coincidence", from the third move, Li Xiangping began to test the overlap between his ideas and Lao Shi's actual combat play.

This kind of experience is undoubtedly more wonderful, because before this, Li Xiangping must have done such a thing, but most of the time in the past, he was actually unconscious, and as conscious as today, even every hand is deliberately tested, this kind of experience is really the first time for him.

"Huh? I really didn't find it in the past, it turns out that the gap between my thinking and Lao Shi is still quite big, is this the so-called chess style problem......"

2 hours in the morning, due to Lao Zhao's chronic son, the game only played 35 chess, because the current situation is quite stable, so when the plate was closed at noon, this gave Li Xiangping time to think about this problem.

Li Xiangping also deliberately calculated that there were a total of 35 hands in the morning, so Lao Shi, who was in black, played 18 chess, and among these 18 chess, he actually had 6 chess moves that he didn't think of with Lao Shi, which means that the overlap between the two was not even 70%.

"Well, it is estimated that because this is still the layout stage, this leads to such a poor degree of coincidence, and it is estimated that in the mid-game stage, the situation should be better......"

Li Xiangping thinks that his idea makes sense, after all, in the prologue stage of a game of chess, because the chessboard is very empty, there must be more points to choose from.

Take today's game as an example, since this game of chess is Lao Shi Zhihei, then in no special circumstances, Lao Shi more than eighty percent of them choose "two consecutive stars", while Li Xiangping himself, he prefers "star position, small eyes and two high jumps".

Therefore, in the game, although Li Xiangping guessed that his plug-in would be a "double star" (Lao Shi's actual combat was indeed like this), but in a strict sense, Li Xiangping thought that this was still a degree of coincidence.

"Well, such a difference in the degree of overlap, it shouldn't affect the tacit understanding between the two, right? Anyway, I can guess where he wants to go, so let's just do two experiments at the same time in the afternoon, one is to continue to test the degree of coincidence, and then at the same time to test the degree ......of coincidence, I can also guess which one Lao Shi is most likely to go down."

With such an idea, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping walked into the game room again, but what he didn't expect was that Lao Shi's first move in the afternoon, that is, the 37th move of the whole world, was completely beyond Li Xiangping's expectations.

"Huh?! Next ......"
