"Xiangping."

"Well, what's the matter with Dean Wang?"

"Do you know where the organizers are arranging the competition when we go to South Korea this time?"

"Huh?!"

It is said that China's sports world is prone to giant babies, which actually makes some sense, for example, the current Li Xiangping, he has already boarded the plane, but he knows that he is now flying to Seoul, South Korea, to compete with Lee Sedol for the "LG Cup", as for the specific place of the game, where he will stay after arriving in Seoul, he himself does not know.

It's not that he doesn't want to know, it's just that he doesn't need to know, anyway, when he arrives, someone will arrange all this properly.

"Where is it this time?"

"They, this time they have arranged the venue for the competition at the Blue House."

"Huh? Haha, the Presidential Palace? How could they have thought of arranging the game at the presidential palace this time. ”

"There should be two reasons," Ma Xiaofei on the side said at this time: "The first is their prime minister, I heard that the current South Korean prime minister is a super chess fan, and his chess skills are quite good, it seems that he single-handedly promoted this arrangement, and second,"

Speaking of this, Ma Xiaofei suddenly turned to Li Xiangping and said with a smile:

"That should also have something to do with your last loss to Da Li, chicken blood, your last loss in chess, then it was a proper shot of chicken blood, which cheered up the entire Korean chess world, which contributed to their arrangement."

"What a mess of chicken blood...... Dean Wang glanced at Team Leader Ma reproachfully, as if blaming him for not mentioning the last chess loss.

After blaming Ma Xiao, Dean Wang turned his head and said to Li Xiangping with Yan Yuese: "Xiangping, if you arrange a competition in that kind of place, you shouldn't have any pressure, right?" ”

Li Xiangping smiled: "Hehe, what pressure can there be, the Blue House is not our Great Hall of the People or Zhongnanhai, if it is these two places, then maybe I can still have a little pressure, as for the Blue House,"

Speaking of this, Li Xiangping shook his head again and again: "No, not at all." ”

Seeing that the management was worried about this, in order to ease their hearts, Li Xiangping continued:

"But when it comes to the Blue House, it makes me want to go to an interesting thing, I have heard someone say, just what the presidential palace in South Korea is called the Blue House, you can see how low South Korea's status in the entire East Asian cultural circle is."

Wang Lao Ma Xiao was interested: "Huh? What does this mean? ”

"Well, the Blue House is a building, and in the entire Oriental cultural circle, there is a strict hierarchy of buildings, halls, pavilions, buildings, and platforms, from high to low, and this "platform" of the Blue House is at the lowest level. ”

"Oh? Hehe. ”

Seeing the disapproving expressions of the two, Li Xiangping continued: "Hehe, you two still don't believe it, right, let's explain to you from another angle, in fact, in ancient times, the type of building corresponded to many titles, such as the well-known "Your Highness" and "Your Excellency", that is, the "palace" in the building should be in the "pavilion", let's take a good look at these two titles." ”

Of course, this is very easy to taste, Ma Xiaofei quickly smiled and said: "It's really ho, those who can be called "Your Highness" seem to have a higher status than "Your Excellency", which means that the level of "Palace" is higher than that of "Pavilion"? ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xiaofei's interest became stronger and stronger, and he even suddenly opened his mind: "Hehe, by the way, Xiangping, since you mentioned the pavilion and the pavilion, now that you have "Your Highness" and "Your Excellency", why haven't you heard that there are any "downstairs" and "downstairs"?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Hearing Ma Xiaofei say this, even Wang Lao on the side couldn't help laughing, and Li Xiangping naturally laughed too, but after he laughed, he still couldn't help but continue to popularize science:

"Hehe, although I haven't heard of anything downstairs, but as far as I know, there are actually some other corresponding titles, such as "brother stage" that often appears in dramas. ”

"Brother?"

Li Xiangping nodded: "This "brother platform" that everyone often talks about, it should be the "platform" corresponding to the "pavilion platform", that is, the "platform" of the Blue House Terrace, so I was not wrong just now, just rush to this title, their presidential palace can only be called "Taiwan", which shows how their status is lower. ”

"Hehehe."

Speaking of which, of course, it was inconvenient for Wang and Ma to continue to pick up the stubble, Ma Xiaofei smiled and changed the topic:

"I can't see that Xiangping still knows a lot."

Li Xiangping nodded reservedly, and said in his heart That is of course, if this is not a rebirth, buddy may be taking care of the antique construction company now, since it is an antique building, then for the peripheral knowledge just now, of course, you must have some understanding.

Dean Wang also changed the topic: "By the way, I heard you mention the Great Hall of the People and Zhongnanhai just now, I don't know if Xiangping really doesn't know, in fact, in the early days, there was also a Go game that opened in the Great Hall of the People. ”

Li Xiangping nodded: "I know this, I heard that it is the first Ying's Cup, right?" The opening ceremony was held in the Great Hall of the People. ”

"Yes, the first Ying's Cup," said the old Wang with a look of remembrance:

"It's been 16 years, when the first Ying's Cup, Xiangping was only one or two years old, right, this year is the year of the Ying's Cup, but it's a pity that until now, we have never been involved in this championship."

Li Xiangping nodded: "It's a pity, but don't worry, Mr. Wang, I believe that this time, we won't let the champion fall aside." ”

"Hehe, is Xiangping so confident? That's good, that's good......"

Li Xiangping reacted, he shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, he just took this casually, it was completely remembered that this competition in real history, in the end, Chang Hao and Cui Poison competed for the championship, and then Chang Hao helped the Chinese chess players complete the breakthrough in this event.

And Dean Wang obviously misunderstood just now.

Of course, this level of misunderstanding is nothing at all, let alone an outsider now, even Li Xiangping himself thinks that with Chang Jiuduan's performance in the last "Chunlan Cup", if he still can't keep up with the pace, then he must be in great difficulty for this championship.

In the midst of such small talk, Seoul, South Korea soon arrived, settled in the hotel, then ran to survey the competition venue, and finally attended the final "Eve Festival" and press conference......

Anyway, now Li Xiangping is also an old fritter, a frequent visitor to the World Series finals, so he seems to be calm and unhurried when he walks through such a procedure.

When all these procedures are completed, Li Xiangping returns to the room alone, then of course he will start the final preparations, which are very important preparations in Li Xiangping's mind------

Have the last communication before the game with your own plug-in.

This time, it was Lao Shi who took the lead in speaking: "Hehe Xiangping Xiaoyou, how do I feel that you have something on your mind?" What are you thinking, hehe, let's analyze before the game, because of this person's strange chess style, it can add more uncertainty to the game, but you and I both know that this person's chess defects are huge, and there are many unreasonable points, so Ding'an believes that as long as you play steadily, in fact, your winning chance is much higher. ”

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Ding'an, don't worry, of course I know about this, you and I are so carefully prepared for the war, I know the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, I am not afraid to deal with you, I am very confident in this decisive battle, I don't have any psychology of gain and loss now, and some are only full of desire to win." ”

"Hehe, that's good, that's good, but I don't know ...... just now"

Li Xiangping smiled again: "I really can't hide anything from Brother Ding'an, okay, then I'll tell you the bottom, I just thought of that game of chess again, and then thought of that hand, and suddenly had a new understanding, so I was slightly distracted." ”

"Huh? I don't know which game of chess Xiangping Xiaoyou remembers. ”

"Guess."

It is said that this question is difficult to guess, after all, the two have studied so many games of chess, even if they are narrowed down to Xiao Li's range, the two have recently studied a lot of his chess games.

But Lao Shi is Lao Shi after all, or a plug-in is a plug-in after all, and after a while, Lao Shi said:

"This and this, could it be that you are remembering that game, the game in which this person defeated a machine for the first time on behalf of mankind?"

"Hahaha, Brother Ding'an is not a loss, it is ......"

Well, Li Xiangping was originally going to say "You don't lose the roundworm in my stomach", but obviously, if something like this, of course Li Xiangping can't say it now, so he stopped in time:

"Alas, that's right, Brother Ding'an, I really thought of this hand just now, because just now, I seem to have a new understanding of this hand."

Lao Shi became interested: "Oh, you can tell me quickly, this move has been disassembled by us, don't you think it's not a good move?" As long as he changes to any human chess player with a little strength, I believe it will not be difficult to crack this hand, but at that time, he happened to catch the flaw of the original machine. ”

"yes, that hand itself wasn't good, it was ...... Alas......"

Li Xiangping sighed and continued: "Brother Ding'an, I'm asking you now, if the situation was changed to you at that time, would you be able to think of his hand?" ”

Lao Shi stopped talking, the answer is obviously easy to see, with Lao Shi's rigorous character, if he calculates that this chess hand is not valid, then he will definitely not be able to play.

But Xiao Li is out! And he really relied on that untenable hand to defeat the first generation of Alpha Dog in one fell swoop!

"Brother Ding'an, let me tell you, not only did you not expect it, but as far as I know, when this game was in progress, almost the world was watching, or almost all professional chess players were watching, but at that time, no professional chess player pointed out that hand."

Lao Shi realized.

Li Xiangping sighed and continued: "Alas, Brother Ding'an, when we studied this hand, we only paid attention to the technical gains and losses of this hand, and ridiculed this hand for not being technically smart, but let's not forget, if we put these aside, this chess hand is someone who caught the flaw of the machine, and you now know that that game of chess is the fourth game of the entire series, which means that after only 3 games, this person can rely on his genius sense of smell to catch the flaw of the machine in one fell swoop." So isn't it worthy of our admiration to let our opponents go like this? ”

Silence, after listening to Li Xiangping's words, Lao Shi fell into a short silence.

After a long time, Lao Shi suddenly laughed out loud; "Hehehehehe......"

Li Xiangpingqi said: "How to determine Brother An, do you have any other objections?" ”

"There are no objections, of course I don't have any objections right now."

Lao Shi said with a smile; "Xiangping Xiaoyou, all I have now is gratification, you can have such an understanding at this time, then I am more optimistic about you for the next game."

Li Xiangping smiled bitterly; "Hopefully."

On the second day, Lee Xiangping headed to the Blue House.
