On the first match day of the individual competition, the match between Li Xiangping and Yan Qing officially began, which was actually the first official professional match in which Li Xiangping himself participated.

Li Xiangping is now at the quasi-professional level, and Yan Qing is now only the lowest level of professional chess players, so strictly speaking, this is actually an entry-level game in professional Go, a typical rookie in the professional Go world.

However, there is no way, who called Li Xiangping now has a deepening aura, and he is not even one of the most eye-catching chess players in the world today, so when he is playing, he naturally attracts many eyeballs, whether it is the tournament staff, referees, or even other players, when passing by this chess table, he will always stop and watch for a while, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lao Jin of the Chinese Chess Academy is the chief referee of this tournament, so he certainly has the most opportunities to wander around the arena, and when it was almost noon, Lao Jin sighed to the other staff:

"The world champion is the world champion in the end, why can't I understand the chess played by Li Xiangping."

And Lao Jin's words attracted everyone to nod their heads in agreement.

This is not to say that Li Xiangping really played any advanced chess, nor can it be said that Lao Jin has no eyesight, you must know that the Go of each era has the characteristics of each era, and Li Xiangping is from the later generations after all, so the Go he played, especially the first dozens of hands at the beginning, is of course still very capable of bluffing. I can't bluff the top masters, but I can't bluff amateur chess players and staff like Lao Jin, of course, there is no problem at all.

For example, today, Li Xiangping, who is in charge of black, has played a "small eye two high jump corners" in the layout stage, like this, in the later era of Go AI, it is almost a bad street play, and its popularity is similar to that move "star position three three".

However, in the present and even in the past era, this move can not be said to be no, but it is relatively rare, in Li Xiangping's impression, Mr. Wu Qingyuan occasionally plays like this, last year's Samsung Cup final Ma Xiaofei VS Li Canghao, Ma Xiaofei also used this trick in a game, but unfortunately that game of chess, Ma Xiaofei was overturned by Li Canghao under the big advantage.

In addition to this memory, as for whether other lesser-known chess players like to play like this, Li Xiangping really doesn't know.

It is precisely because this kind of chess is relatively rare, and there is a saying of "fun direction" in Go, so this move is the standard "interest direction" in this era.

Because it is "interesting", everyone does not study this chess shape deeply, and the research of professional chess players is not deep enough, not to mention amateur chess players like Lao Jin, more importantly, he still has a preconceived concept, thinking that Li Xiangping is a world champion, so he must play high chess.

Gao Qi doesn't know much about it, so it makes sense for him to say "I don't understand".

So after Li Xiangping came up with a "fun direction" of this era, what was the actual combat effect?

Well, the actual combat effect seems to be quite good, at least after the end of the morning game, Li Xiangping feels good about himself, he thinks that he has opened up the situation, and he can't say that he has gained much advantage, but the efficiency of holding the black first is still relatively sufficient.

In addition to Li Xiangping's self-feeling, there is another point that seems to prove the success of this "fun direction", that is, the time of the game between the two sides. In the 2-hour match time in the morning, Li Xiangping only took more than 30 minutes, and his opponent took nearly 3 times as long.

It is precisely because of these two points that Li Xiangping is in a happy mood during the lunch break.

However, Go is like this, it is by no means one or two "interesting directions" that can beat the world, and the vast majority of games, in the final analysis, are still a competition of comprehensive strength between chess players.

For example, this game of chess is like this, from the beginning of the afternoon game, Li Xiangping gradually showed the original form, his basic skills are not reliable during this period of time to show all, to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the overall situation after 120 hands, he has objectively fallen into the law, although the opponent Yan Qing's advantage is not large, but the overall situation is indeed the advantage of white chess.

At this time, Lao Jin sighed to everyone again

"Tut-tut, everyone look at everyone, they all say that the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, the practice of Go must not be a little sloppy, then it must be done, even the world champion is not exempt from vulgarity, everyone looks at Li Xiangping, from June to now, he has not played chess for a few months, and now his hand is like this, so the chess is difficult, and the ancients do not deceive me....."

In the face of Lao Jin's "chicken soup" emotion, everyone nodded again, thinking that Referee Jin was really not a loser, and he saw through the essence of the problem at a glance.

Yes, at this time, although Li Xiangping's situation was backward, no one still questioned Li Xiangping's strength. After all, this game of chess has been played until now, although Li Xiangping has gradually fallen into the upper hand, but he has not made that particularly obvious and amateurish mistake, in the eyes of everyone, he is just not rigorous and delicate enough in many places.

And such a problem, in the eyes of everyone, is of course caused by Li Xiangping not participating in the official competition for so long, which led to the "hand birth" theory.

It is completely conceivable that at this time, if anyone dares to say that Li Xiangping's chess itself is not "rigorous and delicate" enough, it is guaranteed that he will be sprayed on the face by others, what kind of joke, the five-game chess with Li Canghao a few months ago left a deep impression on everyone.

Especially the "two Throughs" in the final decisive game, after seeing this move, many experts commented after the game, thinking that such a move reflects Li Xiangping's "dense and strict", if Li Canghao's official kung fu is the first in the world, then Li Xiangping can compete with him even in the official field with such a hand of chess.

Someone who can play a hand like him, then who dares to say that his chess is not "rigorous and delicate" enough? As for Li Xiangping's performance today, of course, it is only because of "hand birth", not his own strength.

At this time, another staff member said with a smile:

"This Yan Qing, I've always wondered why he was able to become Li Xiangping's bitter hand, now it seems that this is all fate, everyone see, his luck is so good, he can actually draw Li Xiangping in the first round."

For this staff member's words, everyone nodded again in agreement, indeed the meaning of this staff member is obvious, his implication is actually to say that in terms of wheel strength, Yan Qing is definitely inferior to Li Xiangping, but this guy's luck is surprisingly good, for example, this time, he just took advantage of Li Xiangping's hand to draw him when he was the most "raw", if it was a few rounds later, if Li Xiangping's hand was not so raw, then Yan Qing would of course not be able to get under Li Xiangping.

Everyone was talking about it, although they all seemed to be giving Li Xiangping a reason, but the other meaning was actually that; Li Xiangping may lose this game of chess.

But what is the final settlement of this game?

When it was close to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a loud noise in the arena, and everyone turned their heads to look, but they saw Yan Qingyan slapping himself in the early stage, accompanied by a look of annoyance......

Lao Jin and the others surrounded one after another, but they saw that at the last moment of this game, it was Yan Qing who made the last low-level mistake.

It was a robbery, in fact, this robbery did not affect the outcome at all, whether Yan Qing won the battle or not, he even completely gave up the robbery to accept other petty officials, and in the end, he actually won.

But Yan Qing just competed with that calamity, he was obsessed with winning that calamity, but at this time, he found a "blind calamity".

In fact, it's nothing just a "blind robbery", but the "blind robbery" itself is a very bad move.....

"Blind robbery" and loss, which made this game of chess suddenly unsustainable, Yan Qingyan died suddenly in the early stage, and Li Xiangping inexplicably got off to a good start.

And at this time, the old Jin Jin referee sighed again, and he said to everyone:

"See it, see it, the so-called strong luck is strong, this game of chess is a good interpretation of what it means to be strong and strong, so the ancients did not deceive me."

In the face of Lao Jin's "the ancients are honest and do not deceive me", what else can you say? Of course, you can only nod your head frequently.

The only thing that seems to be strange about this is Kong Erjie, and when his own game is over, after he has watched Li Xiangping's game of chess, he smiled at Li Xiangping:

"I said the masterful boss, Yan Qing really didn't lose this game of chess by you, but was scared to death by you."

"One meaning, one meaning," Li Xiangping, who won the chess, was obviously relieved, and at the same time in a happy mood, he smiled at Kong Erjie;

"If you can scare your opponent to death, of course, it's part of the luck of the strong."
