Chapter 143 Improving one's own strength is the king
"Carryover? I'm sorry Xiangping friends, but this can't. ”
"Why not?"
"Because before I came here, the embroidered girl had repeatedly told me that the number of official games in a year must not exceed 15, and once it is exceeded, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen."
Li Xiangping was sullen for a while, why was it the embroidered piano girl again.
Lao Shi asked again: "By the way, Xiangping Xiaoyou, why did you suddenly ask about this today?" ”
Li Xiang said in his heart why else, it's not for your unlucky 15 rounds a year limit, this is not a big problem, the key is that the time when you guys come to me doesn't seem to be right, a game limit, a time, these two problems are combined, and now it has become a new trouble.
If you know that when you cross, it is August 2000, so what about Lao Shi's game restrictions, it must also be counted from August of each month, and in this way, the arrangement of these 15 rounds is a bit troublesome, facing the problem of uneven distribution in the first half of the year.
You must know that the competition schedule in the Go world, especially the schedule of international competitions, has always had the problem of loose schedules in the first half of the year and dense schedules in the second half of the year. For example, it is already April, and Lao Shi has only played 4 games of chess so far, including 2 games of "Chunlan Cup" and 2 games of "Fujitsu Cup".
What about when the year turns the year in August this year? Well, at that time, the "Fujitsu Cup" could be finished, and the first weekend of August every year is the fixed final day of the "Fujitsu Cup", which is the practice of this competition for decades, and this day also happens to be a few days before Li Xiangping's "Crossing Memorial Day".
But even if Lao Shi can reach the final of this competition, there will only be 3 games of chess when he is fully played.
In addition to the "Fujitsu Cup", May and June are the days of the "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup" qualifiers, and Li Xiangping is the world champion, so he does not have to participate in these two qualifiers.
In addition, there is also a "Toyota Cup" at the end of June, but it is only the first two rounds, this is a newly established world series, Li Xiangping does not know whether he can become a seed, if it is a seeded player, then only the next game of chess.
At the end of July, it was the main event of the LG Cup, but only the first two rounds.
In addition to these, there are no other international competitions before August, oh yes, there is also an "Asian Cup" in the first half of the year, but the qualification for the "Asian Cup" is the champion and runner-up of the domestic rapid chess competition, and Li Xiangping did not even participate in the domestic "CCTV Cup", so he is not eligible to participate in this competition.
In this way, even if Lao Shi is invincible in all competitions and maintains a complete victory, before the "crossing anniversary", he only has 10 or 11 games to play at most, and he will waste the "quota" of 4 to 5 games in vain.
It's just a waste, after all, this can only be called a "pity", not a "trouble", what really makes Li Xiangping feel troublesome is: through these 4 games of chess this year, he feels that Lao Shi's chess has improved again, although it has not reached the height of Go AI, his current chess still belongs to the human category, but only in the first half of the year, it is really possible for Lao Shi to do it.
Yes, Li Xiangping doesn't think there's anything wrong with his opinion, because the biggest characteristic of Shi Da Qisheng is that people evaluate him the same: he is cautious in his thinking and has no last resort. And Li Xiangping has always believed that in the field of human Go, this should be regarded as the best advantage.
How so? Anyway, no matter what others think, at least Li Xiangping himself thinks that after supporting this guy to become his own plug-in, he has done a good job at this point, and almost never makes mistakes in the game.
It must be mentioned in particular that what Li Xiangping is talking about now is "not making mistakes", which does not mean that Lao Shi has never played bad chess, let alone that he has solved it step by step now, but that he has very few loopholes when he plays chess now, let alone played any "colander" or the like.
After all, it is often said that human beings playing Go, including professional chess players, are actually playing a game of mistakes, and deciding whether a game of chess is won or lost, not to see which player has more good moves, but to see who makes fewer mistakes.
And this is precisely the biggest strength of Shi Da Chess Sage. To be honest, Lao Shi was able to win that championship last year, including being able to beat South Korea's big and small Li again this year, Li Xiangping believes that this is the key.
In addition to Lao Shi's advantages, Li Xiangping believes that from last year's "Samsung Cup" championship, judging from the performance of these four games this year, Lao Shi's chess should have improved again.
In the last year, I just crossed that meeting, in fact, Lao Shi's weakness is still obvious, its most specific performance, the first is because there is no clock in ancient times, Lao Shi is not adapted to the modern seconds reading system, and the second main weakness, that is because of the ancient "seat system", Lao Shi is not suitable for the modern layout, and it is still his weakness in the prelude.
The first weakness is okay, after a lot of online chess training last year, Lao Shi's flaw has already been made up, otherwise he would not have won the championship.
As for the second weakness, it belongs to the category of Go skills, and of course such a weakness cannot be improved quickly in a short period of time. However, Li Xiangping thinks that it also depends on who he is comparing, if he is competing with Lao Nie or Mr. Lin Haifeng, then of course Lao Shi will not be able to take advantage.
It's just that compared with the mainstream chess players in today's chess world, such as South Korea's second Li and others, Li Xiangping thinks that Lao Shi is no longer behind.
Not to mention that in this regard, I still have the big killer of "dog moves", I have memorized so many chess games from later generations, this is a big treasure trove, I don't want Lao Shi to be able to integrate all the ideas of Go AI, but just like this game of chess that has just ended, a game throws out a "new idea", which is enough for others to drink a pot.
It is precisely because Li Xiangping feels the evolution of his plug-in that he feels that this is actually a new trouble. As for why it's a new trouble? As long as you stand from Li Xiangping's personal point of view, then this trouble is easy to understand.
It's completely conceivable, assuming that Lao Shi was invincible all the way in the first half of the year and passed all the games, then in the second half of the year, considering that many of the semi-finals of the World Series are chess, then there is no need to count at all, and the "quota" of 15 games is not enough anyway.
So what to do when that time comes? Do you want Li Xiangping to go on it by himself?
Think about it, of course, there is no other way, if this situation really happens, then of course Li Xiangping can only go on his own, it is impossible for Lao Shi to work hard to reach the semi-finals of the finals, and then there will be a waiver, right?
Of course Li Xiangping can't do this kind of thing, not to mention that even if he wants to abstain, the vast number of people who eat melons won't agree, right? Since the establishment of the World Series, there has only been one abstention in the World Series finals, and that is Qian Yuping Jiuduan that year.
However, the situation of Renqian Jiuduan is excusable, people are sick, can Li Xiangping also say that he is sick at that time?
Of course this is not good, not to mention whether others can agree, even Li Xiangping himself does not agree, after all, he doesn't want to get Qian Jiudan's kind of disease, right?
Therefore, considering that at my current level, it is likely that in the near future, I will sit in the finals of the World Series and play chess in person...... Li Xiangping is not the kind of person who has no self-knowledge, so of course he will think that this is a troublesome thing, Li Xiangping now just thinks about it, his scalp is numb.
But the scalp was numb, and Li Xiangping thought about it carefully but found that there was no other way, and if he really needed to catch the ducks on the shelves, he would have no way back.
"Brother Ding'an, let me ask you, if I go to play chess at that time, and you are on the side, is it feasible to do this?"
"Moves? Hehe, Xiangping Xiaoyou, how can you have such an idea, I don't think this method must be ......"
"I know, I know," before he could finish speaking, Li Xiangping interrupted him impatiently:
"Brother Ding'an, I know that you are a gentleman, and what you pay attention to is watching chess without saying a word, but Brother Ding'an, don't forget, you have lived with me for so long, but if you really need me to play against foreign chess players, you can't watch me make a fool of myself, right?"
Li Xiangping deliberately bit the words "foreign chess player" very hard, because he knew that he was a nationalist, and he clearly wanted to use "righteousness" to suppress him.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Xiangping's words, Lao Shi was silent for a while, but he still said:
"I'm sorry Xiangping Xiaoyou, I still don't think it's feasible to support this method."
Li Xiangping was anxious; "Brother Ding'an! Why is that? ”
"Xiangping Xiaoyou, you are also a chess player yourself, think about it now, in an official game, can outsiders' moves really be useful?"
After hearing Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping fell into silence completely, because after he calmly thought about it, he found that the idea of supporting the move only looked beautiful, but in fact it was not realistic at all.
You must know that he has not achieved any "heart-to-heart" with Lao Shi now, so what was he thinking about during the game? What kind of ideas are you preparing? Where are you going to play next? These old Shi don't know.
So in this case, this kind of thing is useless at all, at most after he played a stinky move, but Lao Shi told himself that this move was broken.
But what's the use of that?
Especially in high-level professional competitions, such as the finals and semifinals, then such "support" is not effective at all.
Although there is also a possibility, that is, Lao Shi found an earth-shattering hand when he was watching the battle, the kind of earth-shattering hand that can decide the whole thing in one fell swoop, and then he told himself in advance.
However, to be honest, there are so many amazing players of this level in Go, it may be rare to encounter them once a year, and some players will not even meet them once in their lives. Hoping to use this method to solve one's own real troubles is simply like spending the moon in the mirror.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangping was entangled.
"Alas, now it seems that the only way to improve your strength as soon as possible is the king."
