Chapter 217 A More Profound Game of Go

The first "Toyota Cup" World Professional Go Championship ended yesterday in Tokyo, Japan, and the result of the game was the same as many people predicted, Li Xiangping won again! He defeated Li Canghao again in the chess match with a score of 2-1 and lifted his third world championship trophy. ”

“...... Yes, allow me to use the words "won again" here, because since Li Xiangping's debut, as long as he appears in the international arena, then everyone can only hear the news of his victory, and Li Xiangping keeps winning chess! He keeps winning! Maybe by now, everyone has long been accustomed to his victory, and he has won so much that everyone feels numb. ”

“...... Although the game has ended, the impact brought by Li Xiangping is far from over. In this place, the reporter actually didn't want to describe too much about the rich connotation he showed on the chessboard, after all, he is a recognized "monster" in the Go world, and his chess is not something that the author can describe clearly, I only know Li Xiangping's Go, which has long become a topic in the Go world. No! Maybe the topic is a bit light, and to describe it more accurately, Li Xiangping should be a "phenomenon". That's right, the Li Xiangping phenomenon in the Go world! His performance is indeed phenomenal. ”

“....... In fact, compared to the content of chess, the reporter wants to talk more about the significance of this final. Here I would like to remind everyone to remember this trilogy, yes, please remember! Although in Li Xiangping's series of victories, this victory is not particularly eye-catching, the content is not particularly hearty, and the opponent Li Canghao is not the first time to lose in his hands, but the reporter still has to say: Please remember this final, because this may be a series of extremely special significance, this trilogy, may be a symbol of the world chess world, in a few years, when you look back at this game, you may find that this is the beginning of a new era in the world chess world. ”

“...... Why do journalists say that? Let me list a list of data first, after all, most things in this world, maybe only data is the least deceiving. Since the establishment of the first World Professional Go Championship in 1988, the entire Go world has produced dozens of world champions, and the top three players who have won the championship are: Li Canghao 13 world champions, Cao Xunxuan 8, and Liu Chonghe 5. ”

“...... Although Lee Sang-pyeong's three titles are only a fraction of Lee Cang-ho's, please note that he is currently ranked fourth behind the three Korean players. ”

Of course, ranking 4th is not the point, please pay attention to the names of these 3 Korean chess players, among the 3 world championships won by Li Xiangping, there are 2 finals against Lee Canghao and 1 time Liu Chonghyuk, in other words, Li Xiangping's 3 world championships are directly snatched from the top 3 opponents. Not only that, if you take into account the semi-finals of the "LC Cup" not long ago, Li Xiangping and these 3 Korean kings have played chess a total of 4 times, and his record is a shocking 4-0! ”

"Please note that Li Xiangping still has a few months to turn 16 years old, and he is under the age of 16, which makes it difficult for some of the top players in the chess world to win against him!"

"Speaking of this, the reporter doesn't want to say anything else, if such data is not enough to illustrate the problem, then I really don't know what to say, there is no doubt that Li Xiangping is indeed a genius who is difficult to find in the Go world for a hundred years, his genius level, even the four "precocious" geniuses recognized in the Go world in the past, Wu Qingyuan, Zhao Zhixun and Li Canghao are dwarfed, yes, even if even a genius such as Mr. Wu Qingyuan, he will be dwarfed in front of Li Xiangping! Therefore, the reporter believes that Li Xiangping will definitely be a well-deserved hegemon in the future chess world. No, maybe he's already the king of Go by now!"

"If you really want to talk about it, the reporter and Li Xiangping have known each other for a long time, and when I wrote this article, I have been trying to sketch a complete image of this genius boy and show his true face in front of the majority of chess fans. But it's a pity that when the reporter was about to start writing, he found out, even now. I don't think I can do that at my level. There is no other reason, because Li Xiangping is so special, he is a professional chess player of that type that I have never seen before, not only his chess, but also the person. This is especially true of his chess, which is beyond my knowledge. ”

"When the reporter first met Li Xiangping, he was still a teenager who failed to succeed in the fixed paragraph, but because he played chess with an ancient style, and he used that kind of ancient style of play to be majestic on the Internet, so the reporter thought that this was a power type, and it was precisely because of this, so I didn't care at the time, because the vast majority of young chess players will rely on their own strength and calculation when they have no deep understanding of chess, and I think Li Xiangping is also one of this kind of young chess players."

“....... However, the reporter soon found out that it was wrong, it was ridiculously wrong, everyone still remembers that not long ago in the semifinals of the "Samsung Cup", my country's Ma Xiaofei nine-section against South Korea's Lee Sedol that game of chess, right? That's right, it's the game where Ma Jiuduan played the wrong big avalanche set, and I will tell you now that Ma Xiaofei's pinnacle style is actually the first to be created by Li Xiangping, and when he first created this move, it was still in the 2-year period, that is, he took the lead in playing on the Internet with his 'mastery' account. ”

“...... In addition to this example that you may not understand, I don't think I need to cite other examples, all in all, in just over 2 years after his debut, Li Xiangping has created countless new types of novices, and many of his first ways to play are now leading the trend of the entire Go world. ”

"That's right, that's what Li Canghao Jiuduan said, he said that Li Xiangping's game is indeed a more profound game of Go, like many people, when I first heard this sentence, I just listened to it as a joke. But now it's different, I now vaguely feel that Li Canghao is really not joking, and Li Xiang's screen may really be a more profound Go. ”

"Limited to the level of a reporter, I can't actually say what kind of Go this is, and I can't understand Li Canghao's real thoughts, the only thing I can be sure of now is that this kind of "higher and deeper Go" should be far from mature now. ”

"The reason is very simple, because the reporter personally thinks: Li Xiangping is actually far from mature, which we can see in his game that his chess will still occasionally make mistakes, and he will often fall into a bitter battle, so the current Li Xiangping, it should be far from reaching the peak of his personal life, he can still grow, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!" Since Li Xiangping still has room for improvement, then his "more advanced Go" will naturally have a lot of room for improvement. ”

"To be honest, reporters can't be sure how far Li Xiangping can grow. Because everyone knows that the higher the level of Go, the more difficult it is to make a breakthrough. There are also many examples in the world of Go, where there are many players who improve quickly at a young age, but are unable to make a breakthrough in their lifetime. The reasons for this are complex, including talent, opportunity, and other factors. However, I have a feeling that our Li Xiangping, he will be able to continue to break through, and he will definitely be able to continue to grow =! ”

"It's just my feelings, and I can't say anything about it. And I believe that most chess fans should be the same as me, thinking that this does not need a reason at all, if I have to find one, it is because he is Li Xiangping, the only Li Xiangping in the world, so he will definitely be able to do it! ”

One day in early December, in a training room of the Chinese Chess Academy, Li Xiangping looked at this touting article written by reporter Zhang Da:

"Hehe, your sister's "Higher and Deep Go". ”8)
