At 5 p.m. Tokyo time, it was the final moment for this hard-fought game.

In the game room, Liu Chonghe's face was slightly red, his eyes were slightly stupid staring at the chessboard in front of him, his eyes were mixed with a trace of confusion and unwillingness, and he didn't know what he was talking about-----

Regarding Liu Jiuduan's current state, Li Xiangping personally still understands it, yes, he thinks that he understands the other party's feelings very well now.

For today's final, Liu Chonghe should have made full preparations, which can be seen from the "Vietnamese flow" he played at the beginning. Not only that, but on the whole, Li Xiangping thinks that he actually played well, even if that move seems to be the cause of defeat, it is not a very serious problem in most games, at best it can only be said to be a little excessive.

However, it was such a move that was only a little excessive, and there was a mistake in the order that caused him to be unable to turn over later, and even caused his big dragon to be slaughtered, so he lost such an important game in the most brutal way.

Liu Jiuduan's mood can be imagined.

He has been taking a little longer to straighten his hair now, so of course Li Xiangping understands.

Liu Jiuduan was still adjusting his mood, and while Li Xiangping was waiting for him to admit defeat, he had already begun to summarize the game in his heart:

"Counting the road is king! In the Go game, at least in the Go game between human beings, it seems that the words "counting the road is king" are really not wrong at all, the reason why Lao Shi was able to win this game of chess today, the most important thing should be that he suppressed the opponent on the road of calculation, from the point of view of those few key moves, the opponent is not only not as deep as he calculates, but also inferior to him in the breadth of the road, since the depth and breadth are not as good as him, then Liu Chonghe's defeat is also reasonable. Well, it seems that the focus of my next training should be on strengthening my own arithmetic, if my arithmetic can reach the level of Lao Shi, then even if I go to the international arena, I will not always be someone else's dish."

In the midst of Li Xiangping's imagination, Liu Jiuduan's hairstyle was finally tidied up, he nodded slightly to Li Xiangping, said "No", and then picked up two sunspots and put them on the chessboard, signaling himself to disarm and surrender.

With his move, this year's "Fujitsu Cup" finals officially ended, this game played a total of 256 moves, Li Xiangping with the help of his own plug-in, won the second world championship.

The door of the game room slowly opened, reporters from all walks of life flocked in, the flashes of cameras came and went, and all kinds of microphones were aimed at Li Xiangping, and Li Xiangping posed in the most personable shape he thought he had, enjoying the glory that Lao Shi brought to himself.

In the eyes of others, Li Xiangping is indeed very personable now, after all, this championship was not won by himself, so although he is happy, it is impossible to be as excited as others imagined, so his appearance in the eyes of others, will feel that this teenager is really amazing, and he won his second world championship before the age of 15, such an achievement is unprecedented.

That's all it takes, the key is to look at him now, how can he look so calm, so calm, so calm, as if this champion is taken for granted, this kid is really amazing.

Li Xiangping didn't know what other people thought, he was even distracted when he was interviewed by reporters, always thinking that if this championship was not won by Lao Shi's help, it would be perfect if he relied on his own ability.

Even Li Xiangping himself didn't realize that before he knew it, he had truly completed the transformation from an amateur chess player to a professional chess player.

What has changed is not chess strength, but mentality, after witnessing Lao Shi helping him win this championship, the idea of "going to get one yourself" has taken root in Li Xiangping's heart.

At the end of this trip to Tokyo, Li Xiangping can be regarded as returning to China with honors, this is his second world championship, and in fact, it is also the fourth world championship of Chinese Go. Since champions are still so rare, all kinds of celebrations and celebrations are of course indispensable.

From the official to the non-governmental, from the Chinese Go Association to Li Xiangping's Weijia Club, within a week of returning to China, Li Xiangping rotated in various celebrations, fortunately, it is now the new century, Li Xiangping said in his heart that if Lao Nie was in that era, he might have N reports waiting for him.

A week after returning to China, all kinds of celebrations and celebrations slowly stopped, not for anything else, because it is already August, and after this month, it is actually the peak season of the game in the Go world, with many events, and in this month alone, there are many games waiting for Li Xiangping.

The first is the "Samsung Cup", this year's "Samsung Cup" qualifiers have ended more than a month ago, and the round of 32 of this tournament will start in the middle of this month, as the defending champion, of course, there is nothing to say, even if Lao Shi's "quota" is less, this game also needs to be considered.

The second is the Weijia game, which has now entered the second half, especially for Li Xiangping's team, which is now a critical stage of relegation, and almost every round is a battle of life and death. Since he went to the "Fujitsu Cup" final in the first week, Li Xiangping missed one round, so for the next three games this month, Li Xiangping personally attaches great importance to it, and he sees this as the best opportunity to sharpen himself.

In addition to the tournament, there are several domestic title battles at the same time this month, such as the domestic "Celebrity Battle", "Robust's Cup", "Chess King Battle" and so on. However, after weighing it up for a long time, Li Xiangping finally decided to give up these games.

Of course, this is not because Li Xiangping is afraid and does not dare to compete, you must know that his current mentality is different from that of more than half a year ago, when he first knew that Lao Shi had 15 rounds of restrictions, Li Xiangping felt like the sky had fallen, and he was a little loveless, but now he is completely different.

The reason why he gave up these competitions was mainly because he felt that there were not many expensive competitions, especially Li Xiangping According to his own situation, he thought that his level wanted to improve the fastest and most efficient, and it was not necessarily that the more games, the better.

For a very simple example, I just watched the match between Lao Shi and Liu Chonghe at a close distance, so this game is more helpful to me than my next game of "celebrity battle" preliminaries against a domestic second-rate chess player?

Anyway, no matter what others think, Li Xiangping himself thinks that if he can have a very engaged "sense of substitution" every time he watches Lao Shi's game, there is no doubt that the former is more effective.

It is precisely because Li Xiangping has such conditions that there is no other semicolon in the Go world, so he is not in a hurry to participate in other domestic title battles.

Anyway, with his current level, the possibility of winning the domestic title is very small, and his family is not short of money, and he does not need to earn tournament bonuses to support his family, since this is the case, then these competitions will be postponed, and at this stage, everything is aimed at improving his own strength as the highest goal.

"Brother Ding'an, get ready, but we are about to go to Goryeo to participate in this year's "Samsung Cup", you have to be mentally prepared, as the defending champion of this event, and you have just won another championship, then in this competition, I estimate that you will become the target of public criticism. ”

"Okay, Ding'an can save it."

In mid-August, this year's "Samsung Cup" tournament started in Seoul, South Korea, in the previous qualifiers, the Chinese team did not perform well, plus Li Xiangping, a total of 11 chess players went to South Korea, the oldest of them Ma Xiaofei, the youngest Li Xiangping, the rest are based on the "Seven Little Dragons" and "Little Tigers" These chess players, in general, the current "Little Leopards" are still young, and no one has emerged at this time.

After Li Xiangping and the Chinese delegation arrived in South Korea, the vaccination he had given to Lao Shi was really not wrong, and everywhere he went now, he could see strange eyes everywhere.

Fortunately, Li Xiangping has been prepared for this.

If you say that when you won the championship last year, some people would think that it might just be an accident, most people in the Go world. also only treats Li Xiangping as a "new talent".

Then winning the 2nd championship is different, completely different!

If you take into account Li Xiangping's record in other world competitions, he has actually blossomed in the international arena until now, and all competitions have been successfully promoted, then the current Li Xiangping is a standard monster in the eyes of others.

Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't want to be a monster, but he knows that if he doesn't want to be treated as a monster by others, then the best way is to keep winning until everyone is used to it.

Only when everyone gets used to it, then naturally no one will see themselves as monsters.

For such a simple truth, Li Xiangping still understands, so after arriving in South Korea, Li Xiangping has always told his plug-in not to relax, let alone underestimate the enemy, and to go all out in the next game.

Fortunately, Shi Da Chess Saint is really reassuring, and this time he continued to make persistent efforts, winning 2 games in a row in South Korea and breaking into the quarterfinals of the World Series again.

There is nothing to say about these two games, in the first round, Lao Shi met the Korean chess player Park Seung-hyun, a chess player who is not famous either now or in the future, and he only has two dans now, and Lao Shi won him as a matter of course.

In the round of 16 in the second round, the opponent was slightly more famous, he was the Korean chess player Cho Han-seung, who also reached the World Series final once, but lost to Koo Dali in the final.

However, Zhao is only in the fourth section now, he is still in his growth period, and his chess skills are far from mature, so it is normal for Lao Shi to win against him.

Therefore, on this trip to South Korea, Li Xiangping is really interested in another thing:

"Tsk, how do you feel that Li Canghao's chess style has changed, how can he become so murderous now?"
