After laughing with his plug-in for a while, Li Xiangping also hurried to the viewing room next door, today's game of chess ended a little late, and he is now eager to know who the opponent of this final is.

After coming to the viewing room, Li Xiangping was naturally warmly congratulated by reporters Wang Yi and Zhang Da, especially reporter Zhang Da, who opened his arms very exaggeratedly:

"Congratulations, congratulations, haha, Xiangping is still amazing, a wonderful blow at the critical moment......"

Although Li Xiangping was also smiling at this time, his smile was a little embarrassing, he obviously picked up a wallet, okay? How did it become a "good move" in your mouth, and when did the good hand in Go become so cheap?

Li Xiangping looked at Shao Weigang and Wang Yi again, but found that the two of them had no objection to Zhang Da's statement, as if Li Xiangping had really done something.

Li Xiangping couldn't say anything, so he had to change the topic at this time; "What about the other set, who won over there?"

"It was Xiao Li who won, and this time it was him who became your opponent in the final."

Like after telling Li Xiangping the answer, reporter Zhang Da smiled and said more:

"Xiao Li, this guy won a fluke, he completely picked up Yitian's wallet, alas, this guy is also hard-hitting, that kind of chess can also be won by him, both games of chess are reversed, the host is going to cry this time."

"I ..... I'll take a look at ...... first."

After watching the game of Lee Sedol VS Yitian Jiji, Li Xiangping's heart is much more balanced, because compared with Lee Sedol's reversal method, his "squeezing" one-handed robbery still has a little technical content, and Xiao Li's game, it really doesn't have any technical content at all, it is completely Yitian who took a step out of blind chess, and he first took a breath of "public anger" in a very simple kill, which led to the original excellent situation suddenly plummeting.

Well, because from this point of view, Li Xiangping thinks that compared with Lee Sedol's winning method, his own robbery method can really be called a "clever blow".

After watching the progress of another game, Li Xiangping began to feel sad for the Japanese Go, which could have been in the finals, but for such a reason, in such a way, he was reduced to a spectator again in the decisive battle.

However, is this just an accidental coincidence, Li Xiangping thinks about it carefully, it is not, and it can't be withstood at a critical time, which has always been a weakness of Japanese chess players, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest stubborn problem of Japanese Go.

This is not the first time that this situation has happened to Japanese Go, and it can be traced back to the 6th Fujitsu Cup 10 years ago.

10 years ago was 1993, and veteran chess fans know that in the history of the world's Go, this year is actually a landmark year, and it is from this year that Korean Go entered the heyday of world domination.

The landmark event in this marking year is actually the semi-finals of the "Fujitsu Cup" this year, when two Japanese chess players played against two Korean chess players, specifically Lao Cao against Kato, and Liu Chonghe against Awaji Shuzo.

By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, both Japanese players had already achieved a very clear advantage, and the viewing room at the time even thought that it was a foregone conclusion that Japanese players would win the "Fujitsu Cup" for six consecutive years (the first five Fujitsu Cups were won by Japanese players).

However, it was from that time that the Korean chess players began to exert their strength, first Lao Cao used his ghostly reversal technique, and forcibly killed Kato a big dragon under completely impossible circumstances, but killing and killing, Kato made a ghost retreat step by step, and finally retreated no more and no less to lose half of his eyes.

Compared with Lao Cao's game, Da Liu's game is more exaggerated, when there are still 3 small officials left on the chessboard, Awaji has an obvious advantage, and the research room thinks that he can win at least 1 and a half eyes------

It was indeed a real "Lai Pi robbery", because according to the calculation of the robbery at the time, Da Liu couldn't win at all, and even if he didn't consider the problem of robbery, Awaji didn't rob him at all, and he gave the chess to the opponent with a good temper, and in the end, Awaji won.

But the result? As a result, Awaji opened the robbery, and in the process of opening the robbery, he first damaged himself, and then inexplicably gave up the robbery......

Well, Li Xiangping thinks that this is fortunately also Go, if this is other competitive events, then the "undercover" pot Awaji must be on his back.

What is the reason why Japanese chess players cannot withstand it at a critical time? Li Xiangping thinks that this is not easy to say, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

For example, in the Go world, there have also been some interpretations of the situation of Japanese Go, and some people believe that this is because Japan's professional Go system is relatively perfect, because the whole system is perfect, which makes Japanese players relatively comfortable, and it is precisely because of this comfort that they cannot withstand it at critical moments......

Well, this should be the most typical Chinese interpretation, and in the end, any problem can be attributed to the "system", but don't really say it, although this interpretation is a bit detouring, but it also sounds a little reasonable.

The second interpretation is that Japanese players are not adapted to the three-hour format of each side in the international arena, and in Japanese domestic competitions, the "two-day system" of the "Big Triple Crown" finals is naturally not to mention, and the other four minor titles, namely "Tengen", "Judan", "Throne" and "Little Chess Master", the finals of these tournaments are usually about 5 hours per side.

Even the round-robin match of the "Big Triple Crown", as well as the "main battle" of other title battles, basically took about 4 hours for each side.

Therefore, for Japanese chess players, especially those who are eligible for the World Championship, this kind of three-hour game per side is simply rapid chess for them, and it is for this reason that they cannot withstand it at the last minute.

To tell the truth, Li Xiangping personally thinks this reason is a bit far-fetched, but does this reason have to be reasonable? Of course, this can't be said, anyway, as far as Li Xiangping knows, this kind of statement has a big market in Japan.

In real history, Li Xiangping remembers that it seems that during this period, the Japanese Go community once organized a big discussion to discuss why Japanese chess players did not perform well in the international arena, and Lao Zhao personally appeared to talk about it.

Lao Zhao said that it is very simple to play a good international game, cancel the "two-day" game, and change all domestic games to a 3-hour system, Lao Zhao believes that only by doing this, the effect will definitely be immediate, and the Japanese chess player's record in the international arena will immediately improve significantly.

In order to illustrate this problem, Lao Zhao also gave his own example, he said that for a professional chess player, "rhythm" is actually very important, for example, in his own year, a "two-day" seven-game chess often spanned about 2 months, so in these 2 months, if he took the time to go to the next round of the World Series for 3 hours, then he himself would easily lose the rhythm.......

Well, considering that Lao Zhao is an old-timer in the chess world, Li Xiangping has no intention of arguing with him about the correctness of this view, in fact, he doesn't even care about the issue itself, why can't Japanese chess players withstand it at a critical moment, what is this about Li Xiangping?

The only thing Li Xiangping is concerned about is that this situation of Japanese chess players is not unique to Japanese chess players, and it is even magnified to the entire human game of Go, which is actually a common situation.

For example, Chinese chess players in this era, can the situation be much better? To tell the truth, Li Xiangping thinks that it is really the second brother don't laugh at the eldest brother, in real history, before the "little leopard generation" came out of the online game of Go, the situation of Chinese chess players was really not much better than that of Japanese chess players.

"Okay, Xiangping, don't be stunned, it's not early now, prepare to participate in the closing ceremony in the evening, and let's prepare to return to China immediately after it's over."

"Oh yes."

That night, Li Xiangping and Xiao Li's hands were together, this was not the first time the two had played each other, but it was the first time they met in the final.

In the real history, the current Xiao Li has been N crown, he has been regarded as the strongest chess player in the whole world chess after Da Li, in the current period, so as long as Xiao Li meets Da Li, it will definitely attract the attention of the whole world chess world, South Korea's "two Li hegemony", has also become the main theme of this period in real history.

It's just now......

Now, of course, the situation is completely different!

It is precisely for this reason that although Xiao Li is still arrogant, when he meets Li Xiangping at this time, he can only put his posture very low and say some clichés such as "study" and "ask for advice".

Li Xiangping hung a smile on the mystery and shook hands with Xiao Li.

Yes, at least in the eyes of others, Li Xiangping is a "mysterious smile".

Because no one knows that this is actually Li Xiangping's first time fighting Xiao Li, and he will rely on his personal strength to deal with his opponent.

So considering that this first meeting turned out to be the final of the World Series.

If you take into account that soon after this final, Lao Shi will be "lifted", and he will be able to activate the quota of 15 rounds for the next year.

Then Li Xiangping smiled strangely, of course, this is not surprising.

"Hehe, although I don't want to win others in this way today, but to be honest, I don't want others to win me in this way, especially you Xiao Li, I really, really hate your "zombie flow", there is still about a month to go to the finals, so I won't do anything else this month, just think about how to prevent your zombie flow......"

In early July 2003, Li Xiangping, who relied on his personal skills to reach the finals of the World Series for the first time, returned to China, and he devoted himself to preparing for the final with Xiao Li.
