When Li Xiangping came to the chess academy, the second round of the selection of 8 chess players was about to start, and when he saw his arrival, Gu Dali shouted exaggeratedly:

"Ha, the mastery boss is here? Come and line up, welcome the mastery boss to come and guide. ”

"Heh, Brother Gu, just laugh at me, study, I'm the one who came to learn today......"

But don't really say it, since he has decided to be the coach of this year, although this name will definitely not be said to the outside world, it is just a tacit understanding between him and the management, but Li Xiangping came here today, and it really has a feeling of reviewing his own troops.

“.... Are these 8 today? Well, it seems that today is really a battle for the dragon.... It's the kind of dragon fight that lives up to its name......"

After seeing today's matchup, Li Xiangping really thought of the idiom "Dragon and Tiger Fight" for the first time, not because of anything else, among the 8 chess players who entered the second round of selection today, there are Chang Hao, Luo Xihe, Zhou Heyang, Wang Lei, these 4 "little dragon" chess players.

In addition, there are Gu Dali, Kong Erjie, and Wang Xi, three "little tiger" chess players.

The only one who is "neither a dragon nor a tiger" is Yu Bin Jiuduan, who was born in the 60s and still maintains a very high level of competition.

Well, the above lineup, that basically represents the highest level of Chinese Go in today's world, of course, this is only in the previous life, and in the present life, of course, a Li Xiangping must be added.

"Brother Gu, how many rounds do you have to compete now?"

"Hey, maybe up to 3 more sets to play......"

After listening to Gu Dali's introduction, Li Xiangping found that this selection was indeed complicated enough, and now although 8 have been eliminated, among the remaining 8, they are still divided into 2 groups by "Team Leader Ma".

The group stage adopts the "double-elimination" system, the first place in the two groups is directly qualified, the last place is eliminated directly, and then the four players with one win and one loss have another round of cross-matching, and the winner enters the lineup of the Chinese team of this "Nongshim Cup".

Hearing that it was still so troublesome, Li Xiangping expressed concern about this:

"Yikes! Is it more than that? Isn't everyone busy this month, so can this game be played? ”

Gu Dali smiled; "It's okay, isn't this rapid chess, if someone really can't arrange it, two games a day will do."

Luo Xihe next to him also helped: "Yes, yes, what is such an internal selection tournament, I heard that in South Korea, some official competitions are still two sets a day." ”

After listening to Luo Xihe's words, this naturally triggered a round of emotion from Li Xiangping again, look, this is a good thing that Korean Go does, two official games a day, they can do it, obviously a very deep, very mysterious game, forced to Koreans to make it like the ladies are rushing to the stage.

With such a sparing effort to destroy Go's compulsion, to be honest, in the past few decades, Korean Go has always had super players there, and once they lose this advantage, Li Xiangping thinks they will collapse faster.

Just when everyone was chatting, Ma Xiaofei and Coach Wu came over:

"Okay, let's stop chatting, it's not too early, let's start preparing for the game."

After the 4 games of chess were lined up, Ma Xiaofei smiled at Li Xiangping again:

"Since Xiangping is here, don't be idle, you can go ......" Ma Xiaofei looked at the 4 games of chess:

"Why don't you just go and be a referee and help keep an eye on the big one."

was caught by Ma Xiaofei, Li Xiangping didn't care, anyway, an internal selection competition like this doesn't require notation, which saves a lot of trouble. Li Xiangping's main job is actually to help time and count the seconds, because there is now an automatic timer, so Li Xiangping's actual job is actually to help keep an eye on the chess players and not let the chess players foul.

And in such an internal selection competition, then to be honest, such a job is not a matter at all.

Today's opponent of Gu Dali is no one else, that is the only "post-60s" today, the former "children's leader" of the national Go team, Yu Bin Jiuduan, although Ma Xiaofei let Li Xiangping mainly focus on this game, but after the game starts, of course Li Xiangping will not sit there honestly, he is the same as everyone else, take a look at this game.

After touring the venue like this, Li Xiangping quickly noticed two situations: the first situation was that he found that now, the "dog moves" he brought from later generations, especially those dog moves that have been "deciphered", seem to have really become popular in the Go world.

For example, in today's 4 games of chess, each game without exception has more or less a shadow of "dog moves".

This situation was also expected by Li Xiangping, and he was not surprised at all.

Because he has long said that the game of Go is so difficult that most chess players have no standard answers. In other words, most of the time, humans don't know where to go and where it's right.

It is precisely because of this "difficulty" that professional Go is actually very snobbish, and the phenomenon of following the trend is very serious-------

Since everyone doesn't know how to play, the only thing that can be executed, and there is only one criterion that can be executed, is actually the only way to win or lose.

If you can win with this play, then others will think that you are right, which will attract a lot of followers.

Therefore, Li Xiangping has always believed that if the "skill accumulation" in Go is superb, then just listen to it, and really don't take it too seriously.

For example, he gave an extreme example, let's take himself now, if he announced today that he would "seal the knife" and no longer play professional games, but only disclose those dog moves from later generations to the outside world through the column of "Go World".

So can these "dog moves" that he disclosed later become popular in the Go world? Li Xiangping knew in his heart:

Hard!

Some of the more extreme "mastery fans", such as Gu Dali, may continue to try, but if you want to be as popular as now, it is basically impossible.

Because before that, there were real-life examples in the Go world. For example, Mr. Wu Qingyuan's "New Ways to Play Go in the 21st Century" has been sprinkled with more than ten volumes, which is actually the closest human thought to a dog, but the basic influence of Mr. Wu has not been able to become popular in the Go world.

The reason why it can't be popular is very simple: because these moves have not been verified by winning or losing, since they have not passed this verification, then who will pay attention to you as a professional chess player?

The second situation that Li Xiangping noticed was that in today's four games of chess, everyone seemed to pay special attention to two of them, and more precisely, everyone seemed to pay special attention to the two chess players, for example, during the game, in addition to Ma Xiaofei and Coach Wu, Dean Wang Lunan and Team Leader Hua also walked around the arena, and they also stayed longer in front of the two games.

These two chess players, that is, Gu Dali and Luo Xihe.

Of course, Li Xiangping knows the reason why these two people are more concerned, because these two are both famous "fast knife players" in the domestic chess world, and the "Nongshim Cup" is rapid chess.

Li Xiangping smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that this was everyone's illusion, these two are indeed excellent chess sense, and their reactions are keen, according to rumors, Gu Dali once played a certain "backbone chess player" to 3 pieces in the training chess within the chess academy, and Luo Xihe's performance was not much better than him, which shows how good their chess sense is and how keen their reaction is.

However, do these two advantages prove that they must be able to play rapid chess? Especially the "Nongshim Cup" is a rapid chess format? This is actually a bit of a matter of assumption.

Needless to say, in real history, Gu Dali has also played in the "Nongshim Cup" many times, but has he achieved any outstanding results?

Well, not to mention what kind of record it is, in Li Xiangping's memory, he doesn't remember that Gu Dali won chess in this game.

is not only the "Nongshim Cup", but also the "Asian Cup" of rapid chess, Gu Dali also has no record of winning the championship, but in everyone's impression, Kong Erjie, who is not good at rapid chess, has a record of three consecutive championships in the "Asian Cup".

The reason for this situation, Li Xiangping believes that this is mainly related to the time of the game, although these two games are considered rapid chess, but each move still has 60 seconds to count.

If you want to say 60 seconds, it's not too short to say that it's not long, and for Go, one minute is certainly not very thoughtful, but if you want to say it's very short, an offensive round in the NBA is only 24 seconds, and one minute is enough for the NBA to play 3 rounds.

It is precisely because this time is neither long nor short that how to use this time well in the game, Li Xiangping believes that the key to playing rapid chess is how to use this time.

In Li Xiangping's view, Gu Dali and Luo Xihe, the two chess players, they are obviously not good at using this time, they rely too much on their own chess sense when they play chess, and they believe in their first sense too much, resulting in a lot of chess, they only use 5 to 10 seconds of effective time at most, and the remaining 50 seconds are wasted.

From these two, Li Xiangping thought of his own situation. To tell the truth, Li Xiangping is quite confident in his rapid chess level, because he has long found that he is very good at using the 30 seconds to 60 seconds of thinking time, especially in the case of cooperating with Lao Shi, he can actually think of 2 to 3 battle plans at the same time in 60 seconds, so that he can cooperate with Lao Shi's calculations without errors------

I was able to beat "Brother Niu" to almost 2 sons before, and that's mainly for this reason.

Of course, the "combination of two swords" wants to have greater power, Li Xiangping believes that the foundation of everything, it still has to be built on the tacit understanding of both sides, such as the game of chess with Lao Zhao a few days ago, Lao Shi's 37th hand did not understand at the time, so in this case, the power of the "double sword" chess player is impossible to talk about.

Just when Li Xiangping was thinking about his own business, Gu Dali and Yu Bin's game was already over, but Gu Dali won, but in Li Xiangping's opinion, this is not how good he played, but Yu Bin usually lacks rapid chess training, so this game is even worse.

"Hehe, Boss, what do you think of me today?"

"Stink! It's not that I'm talking about you, Brother Gu, you just picked up a plate of Teacher Yu today. ”

However, what Li Xiangping didn't expect was that his words could be regarded as causing trouble, because when this game of chess ended, it was just before 11 o'clock in the morning, and there was still a lot of time before the meal.

"That's it, I also think that the vigorous work stinks, how about Xiangping, anyway, there is still a lot of time, can you help me teach him a lesson now?"

Just Yu Bin said this, but at this time, Ma Xiaofei and Wu Coach Hua led Wang Yi and they were all there, of course, these people were not afraid of too many things, so they echoed and asked the two of them to take the time to come to a few games.

Li Xiangping looked at Gu Dali with a smile:

"Okay Brother Gu, since everyone wants to watch the play, let's put on a show for everyone."
