Chapter 340: Three People and Three States
After laughing with his plug-in for a while, Li Xiangping walked into the game room, and after a while, his opponent Yuan Shengqin also walked in. There were still a few minutes left before the match began, and Li Xiangping took the opportunity to observe his opponent.
He found that although this opponent seemed to be calm, the voice that greeted him just now was also very calm, his fair face was flushed, and the hand that poured water into the cup was also trembling slightly. Li Xiangping smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that the opponent's nervousness would never be on anyone's side.
Think about it, although the guy opposite is called the "Gang of Three" in the Korean Go world with Park Yongxun and "Choi Poison", he is the youngest and the youngest, born in 85, and now he is only two years older than Li Xiangping.
Not only that, but compared with Park Yongxun's "Official Death" and Choi Poison's "Lee Cang Ho Buster", even within the Korean Go community, Won Sung-kyun has been criticized before, thinking that his chess does not have its own color, and it looks like a make-up number.
Although it is known as "Yuan Fist", to be honest, Li Xiangping actually doesn't understand what this nickname means at all, normally it should mean that this person has great strength and "heavy fists", but is this person's strength really great? And why use "fist" to describe his strength?
To tell the truth, even if Li Xiangping has been a human being for two lifetimes, he has not figured out this problem until now.
Just when Li Xiangping was figuring out the specific meaning of "fist", the referee of this game walked in, and Li Xiangping took a look, yo! The origin of this referee is not small, one of the four kings of South Korean Go, the dignified "commander of the field army", the famous "weed" Xu Bongsu Jiudan, can have such a person as a referee in a round of 16 battle, which shows that the Korean chess world attaches great importance to this game.
Li Xiangping nodded to the old-timer, yes, he must pay tribute to the senior chess player.
When it comes to Lao Xu, many senior chess fans may immediately think of the 2nd "Ying's Cup" championship and the nine consecutive victories of the "Nongshim Cup" he once created, which is the most brilliant record in his career.
However, Li Xiangping is not like this, what impressed him the most by Lao Xu was the past when he first debuted, when he won the "celebrity" as a second stage and was known as the "eternal Xu celebrity" of Korean Go.
Well, it was already in the 70s of the last century, and at that time, although Korean Go was claimed to have become "professional", the prize money was very low, and the players were generally poor.
And the old Xu when he was young was like this, before winning the "celebrity", Xu Bongsu at that time was like a trapped beast, he fought to the death in order to get rid of the narrow single-room rental house, he wrote "must win" in his notebook every day to burn the fighting spirit and hostility.
And then what? Then he went out with only two bus tickets, a box of cigarettes and a bowl of jajanjangmyeon money in his pocket, and traveled through most of Seoul to participate in the chess court to participate in the chess competition, and sometimes he couldn't even spend two bus tickets, because if he lost, he would walk back to his residence through half of Seoul......
Therefore, many people have always thought that it is too appropriate to describe Seo Bong-so as a "wild leopard", and it is precisely by relying on this fighting spirit that he dares to burn all opponents to achieve the 5th consecutive hegemony of South Korea's "celebrities". During that period, even after he became a "celebrity", he was easily cut down in the preliminary stages of other chess battles, but when it came to the title battle, it was a multiplication. Even Lao Xu himself said: "I don't know much about the formula, but I am confident that I will not lose to anyone." ”
I don't know why, whenever I think of the deeds of this senior, this reminds Li Xiangping of the "ordinary heart" proposed by Mr. Wu Qingyuan. Because in his opinion, because of the existence of Lao Xu in the Go world, this makes "ordinary heart" not a universal truth, and some chess players actually don't believe in it or simply say that it is not suitable for "ordinary heart".
For example, Lao Xu, this is the most typical example of not believing in and not suitable for "ordinary heart".
Is he not suitable? When he competed for the championship with Japan's Otake Hero Kudan in the 2nd "Ying's Cup", the on-site description of a South Korean accompanying reporter at that time vividly outlined his image:
“...... Seo Bong-su in the fourth game is the big bamboo hero in the third game, the whole game is slow, lost, the first four games of the final are 2-2, and the tiebreaker will be held two days later. At this time, anyone could see that Seo Bong-so had lost his normal heart, and his heart was shaking like a thatched house that had encountered a strong earthquake......"
“...... On the first day of the truce, Seo Bong-so would walk on the streets of Singapore and suddenly shout, "Something is wrong!" ", scared everyone around him. Seo Bong-so's wife, Lee Young-ho, who was traveling with her, asked her husband every time, "How do you pull it?" After that, he helplessly begged for help: "Let's all think of a way!" ......”
“...... After the first day of the truce, the sun rose again on the second day of the truce. The hero of Dazhu leisurely took a cruise for sightseeing, and Seo Bong-su ran to the zoo with a ghost, and the author accompanied him at that time. In retrospect, the author thinks it was the crocodile at the zoo that saved Seo Bong-so. Because after staring at the crocodile for a long time, Xu Bongsu suddenly realized, and he said to the author: Haha, look at the crocodile lying there, how much it looks like Canghao......"
“..... The park was silent in the morning, and Seo Bong-so opened the folded chessboard in the shaded grass by the lake. The author sat on the opposite side of the chessboard. Seo Bong-so reviewed the fourth game he lost the day before yesterday, and then he sighed again: "Something is wrong!" ”。 Xu Bongsu suddenly trembled and changed the layout of the high eyes, and muttered: "Oops, I feel that Dazhu may set the high eyes, it's really a headache." At this time, Mrs. Seo Bong-so, who had returned from a walk by the lake, threw over and said like a knife in a joking tone: "You are like a college entrance examination student sharpening a gun!" ”......”
However, Lao Xu relied on this mental state, and he successfully won the "Ying's Cup". So Li Xiangping has always believed that in Go, it is really not only "ordinary heart", Xu Fengzhu represents, it should be another mental state, on the surface, his mental state is not as high as Mr. Wu's, and it seems to be more in line with the public's taste, and the temperament of the people with a little lower riba that day is also awe-inspiring.
Well, Li Xiangping even thinks that in the decades of Korean Go, in addition to contributing to Lao Cao, Li Xiaoli, and several super geniuses, it is even more valuable, and it may be regarded as contributing Lao Xu's temperament, because there are people like Lao Xu, so the whole Go world is more colorful.
So for this kind of person, Li Xiangping must give a little respect, and for him this kind of respect, Lao Xu obviously also felt it, he smiled at Li Xiangping in a friendly way, but there was another feeling in his heart:
What kind of young man is this? He was so young, yet so talented, so incredible, unimaginably tall.
Seeing the young man in front of him, Xu Bongsu often compares him with Li Canghao, a previous super genius in the Go world, watching Li Canghao's chess, he often sighs how this young man's chess can be so powerful, he has lived for so many years, but he still doesn't know a lot about Go, but Li Canghao seems to know everything.
But what about the chess of the young man in front of him? But I often have a feeling that I didn't know how to play Go before!
Lao Xu himself, this is not the only one who has this feeling, in the Korean Go world, there are many people who have similar feelings, and even his decades-old rival, the guy named Cao Xunxuan, has similar feelings.
Thinking of Lao Cao, Seo Bong-so remembered what Lao Cao said last night------
That's right, it was Lee Sang-pyeong's "I hope someone finds my weakness" yesterday that Korean chess players got together to talk about it. Although it seems arrogant to say this, all people, including myself, also think that this young Chinese man does have the qualifications to be arrogant.
In the end, Lao Cao spoke: "It is indeed the chosen son, he seems to have been specially sent by God to play Go, at this stage, if he still has weaknesses, then I think there may be only one......"
At that time, everyone looked at Lao Cao, including himself, and for the first time in decades, he looked at this sworn enemy:
"He's playing a completely new kind of Go, a completely different kind of Go from us......" The rival sighed and continued:
"Now he seems to be building a new Go system, which is really amazing, he is so young that he has begun to build a new system."
Lao Cao paused and continued:
"But it's precisely because he's still young, so I have a feeling that although his system is powerful, he may not be completely proficient himself, so Sheng Qin ......"
Lao Cao suddenly said to another young man who would play today:
"Playing against Li Xiangping, then your explosiveness is very important, especially when he sacrifices a new type of novice, then you don't need to panic, because where he is strongest, that may be his weakest place, if you can form a breakthrough at a certain point on the chessboard, then this game may have a chance."
Lao Xu looked at Yuan Shengqin, like this young man who seemed a little nervous now.
"Can this young man do it......"
Lao Xu didn't know in his heart, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart, but at this time, it didn't prevent him from preparing to watch a good show.
"Okay, the time is up, let's get ready to guess first."
A detail that even Lao Xu himself didn't notice: Since Yuan Shengqin is older than Li Xiangping, then according to the rules of the Go world, it should have been Yuan Shengqin who caught the child, and Li Xiangping guessed.
However, Lao Xu motioned to Li Xiangping to grab the child and let his opponent guess.
Lao Xu didn't notice this detail, Li Xiangping didn't notice this detail, and even Yuan Shengqin didn't care, as if this was a normal thing.
By guessing first, it was Li Xiangping who guessed the black chess.
The round of 16 has officially begun.
