The somewhat unusual Juban chess that everyone is talking about is actually not uncommon, and it has appeared in both the Middle and Japanese Ages.

Among all the alternative jubanqi in real history, the most famous and the most story-telling one is undoubtedly the one that Mr. Wu Qingyuan participated in more than half a century ago.

First of all, that competition was actually Mr. Wu's fixed-stage assessment competition.

The time of that match happened was after Wu Qingyuan VS Kitani Minoru Kamakura Juban, Wu demoted Kitani to "first phase", and then the Japanese chess world began to look for a second opponent to challenge Mr. Wu, just as Fujisawa Kunosuke passed the Japanese "big hand" competition, becoming the first nine dan after the establishment of the Japanese Chess Academy, there is nothing to say, Fujisawa Kunosuke (later renamed Fujisawa Tomosai) became the best choice by the Japanese.

However, if you want the match between Wu Qingyuan and Fujisawa to go smoothly, there was still a small problem at that time. Well, the "small problem" here is just a small problem that later generations will seem, but at the time it was a big problem.

That is, when Fujisawa was promoted to the ninth dan, Wu Qingyuan said that it was still the eighth dan, and the two were not equal in rank, and some ultra-conservatives in the Japanese chess academy at that time even said that if the two of them played ten chess, Mr. Wu had to accept the "first phase, first first" chess share.

Obviously, this is obviously impossible, because by that time, the "New Layout Revolution" co-authored by Wu Qingyuan and Minoru Mugu had already been released, and it had a very high reputation among the people, and in defeating Minoru Mutani, Mr. Wu was already recognized as the strongest in the government and the opposition, which made Mr. Wu fight as a "starter", even the Japanese at that time were not so thick-skinned.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of two people's chess positions, the Japanese chess community organized an alternative juban chess, and invited some young Japanese players to play in a group.

These young strong players are mainly five dan and six dan dan , so the chess position of this juban chess is "first two first".

There is nothing to say about the result of the game, in the end it was Mr. Wu Qingyuan who won a big victory, and Li Xiangping also forgot whether it was eight wins and one loss and one draw or seven wins and two losses and one draw, in short, Mr. Wu was promoted to nine dan with this record and solved the chess problem with Fujisawa Kunosuke.

It's just that in that Juban chess, there were still some very interesting stories during the period------- the Japanese chess world at that time was seriously antagonistic between East and West, and the Japanese Kansai Chess Academy centered on Osaka had just been established, and among the young chess players who played in that tournament, one or two were players belonging to the Kansai Chess Academy.

Coincidentally, in that juban chess, all the players selected by the Tokyo Japan Chess Academy were defeated, and Mr. Wu's only one or two games of chess losses were lost to Kansai chess players.

This result made some people in the Japanese Chess Academy very annoyed, and some even thought that this was deliberate by Mr. Wu------- because the general and spiritual leader of the Kansai Chess Academy in Japan at that time was Hashimoto Utaro Kudan, who was Mr. Wu's senior brother, and the two had a deep relationship since childhood.

Therefore, some ultra-conservatives in the Japanese Chess Academy at that time believed that Mr. Wu was definitely deliberately losing to the Kansai chess players, and that he was doing this to stand up for his senior brother and to humiliate the Japanese Chess Academy.

Well, if the story ends there, it's not much more, but it's really interesting and easy to think about when you connect it to something that happened a few years later.

Mr. Kure was defeating Fujisawa Kunosuke, and his next juban opponent was none other than his senior brother Hashimoto Utaro Kudan-------

To tell the truth, among the 10 juban chess games that Mr. Wu participated in, the worst quality of the game was against Hashimoto Utaro this time, for no other reason, because when playing this juban chess, Mr. Wu joined a cult, not only was his spirit controlled by the cult, but he also ran around with the cult leader every day, and most of the prize money he won in the game was handed over to the cult.

In the first few games of the game, Mr. Wu was not in a state at all, he was very neatly cut down by his senior brother, but in the second or third game of the ten-game chess, a miracle appeared, in that game, Mr. Wu had played badly enough, but his senior brother played even worse, during which all kinds of unbelievable mistakes and omissions, as if he wanted to return Mr. Wu's favor, he gave the victory to Mr. Wu.

It was from that game that Mr. Wu seemed to wake up suddenly, and he not only quickly got rid of the control of the cult, but also finally won the ten-game chess victory.

After chatting with Team Leader Hua and Zhang Wendong Jiuduan for a while about the gossip half a century ago, Li Xiangping went home and began to prepare for the next "Nongshim Cup".

Although the number of people between China and South Korea is now 2 to 3, for this year's "Nongshim Cup", public opinion is still generally optimistic about the Chinese team--------

Because of the existence of Li Xiangping in the Chinese team, Li Xiangping can help the Chinese team win the cup in such a dangerous situation last year, and this year's situation is at least much better than last year, so everyone is naturally more optimistic about the Chinese team.

It's just that for Li Xiangping personally, in addition to helping the Chinese team win the championship this time, he also added a task to himself privately, that is, to help Gu vigorously recover his state and regain his confidence.

After all, last year's "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" was indeed a bit of a big blow to Brother Force. Prior to that match, Gu Dali's upward momentum had been fast and steady, and he not only defeated South Korea's Lee on multiple occasions, but also became the only player to keep a clean sheet against Lee Xiangping in Fanqi.

However, after that game, Gu Dali seemed to have entered a state of self-doubt, not only did he continue to be in a sluggish state, but Li Xiangping looked at his chess games and felt that the content of his chess was also boring.

As a teenager who failed to rush to the stage for 3 consecutive years in his previous life, Li Xiangping understands the ups and downs of professional chess players.

To solve this kind of problem, Li Xiangping thinks that it is very simple, and the most effective and straightforward way is actually one: win chess!

As soon as a player starts to win, goes from one win to another, and then wins some important games, this problem is solved.

There is no doubt that the next stage of the "Nongshim Cup" is a good opportunity for Gu Dali.

At least Li Xiangping thinks it's a good opportunity to heal.

It was with such an idea that Li Xiangping spent the next week or so in the chess courtyard every day to accompany Gu Dali to practice chess--------

In fact, a chess player of Gu Dali's level, in addition to maintaining his proficiency in chess, of course, his level cannot be significantly improved in a short period of time, so in the process of sparring, Li Xiangping has done the most in addition to telling his recent experience and discernment, which is actually psychological suggestion.

Non-stop psychological suggestion, repeated psychological suggestion.

often say something: "Brother Gu, it's up to you this time, I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to play this year, it's better for you to clear the stage with one shot" and something like that.

To tell the truth, Li Xiangping didn't know if it was useful for him to do this, but fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long to see the effect, the seventeenth day of the first month, the third day after the Lantern Festival, was the first game of the third phase of the "Nongshim Cup", by Gu Dali VS Cui Poison.

After the Lantern Festival, Li Xiangping was ready to go to Shencheng, and that night, Zhao Daokai came to him:

"Yo, Zhao Da Painter, rare guest, I've been fooling around in Shencheng for so many days, I think you have a lot of fun."

"Hehe," Zhao Daokai had a lewd expression, and he handed over a work:

"Well, I'm here to deliver the goods, and this is for you."

"Who is this? Yo, Fan Xiaopang, what about the next one, have you found the next model? ”

Li Xiangping asked casually while putting away the other party's masterpiece.

However, what made Li Xiangping a little strange was that Zhao Daokai said that he had found it, but he refused to say the name of the next model.

Well, according to Li Xiangping's many years of experience, Li Xiangping knows that there must be a situation this time, but with Zhao Daokai's green tea physique, I don't know what kind of green tea this guy will encounter this time.

Of course, because the competition is imminent, Li Xiangping is not in the mood to find out, anyway, with Zhao Daokai's personality, he can't hide this kind of thing, and it shouldn't be long before he comes to himself to confess.

On the second day, Li Xiangping and Gu Dali, accompanied by Team Leader Hua and Yu Bin Jiuduan, flew to Shencheng together to participate in the final stage of this year's "Nongshim Cup".

In the first game of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, although in Li Xiangping's opinion, Gu Dali still failed to play his best, but the result was not bad, and he won the game with a one-and-a-half-eye advantage.

This made Li Xiangping happy for Gu Dali, after all, like this ring competition system, the first set is very important, as long as you get off to a good start, the pressure on the back will be reduced a lot.

On the second day, it was Park Yongxun who came on the field to attack, and the game officially started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Yo, Brother Ding'an, we want to go over to meet this person."

"Oh, who is this? Is this person very strong? ”

"Hehe, this person's chess strength is not very strong, so as to determine the current level of Brother An...... This person is probably going to have three sons, but this person has a special feature, but it is worth meeting in the past. ”

"Oh, what's so special about this man?"

"Hehe, this person is especially in the Danghu Ten Bureau."

"Huh?!"

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "That's right, this person is especially in the Danghu Ten Games jointly created by you and the predecessors of Xiping, you must know that after the battle between you and the predecessors of Xiping in Pinghu Zhangzhai, in the past few hundred years, there have been countless people who have studied and dismantled those games of chess, from your Qing Dynasty, to the Republic of China, and then to modern times, there are various versions of commentary and chess reviews, but in my opinion, in terms of the depth of understanding of Danghu and the accuracy of the explanation, it is this person who is the most, so you say, do we need to go over to say hello?" ”

"Hehe, is there such a thing? Then of course you have to go and see. ”
