Chapter 182: Golden Slam

In mid-September, Lee Xiangping went to South Korea to participate in the quarterfinals of this year's "LG Cup".

Lao Shi's opponent this time is the old king of South Korea, Xu Bongsu, maybe because Xu Bongsu's ninth section is not at his peak now, of course, it may also be in response to the old saying "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing", in short, this game is not shocking, Lao Shi basically didn't take much effort, and won the opponent relatively smoothly.

Li Xiangping once again reached the semifinals of the World Series with the help of Lao Shi, which is his third time this year and the fourth time he has reached the semifinals of the World Series, while continuing to maintain the record of advancing to all World Series.

Ten days later, he went to South Korea again, this time in the quarterfinals of the "Samsung Cup", and Li Xiangping's opponent was replaced by South Korean teenager Choi Zhehan.

Well, the current "Cui Poison" is indeed still a "young player", but this game still receives more attention. There is no other reason, because not long ago, Choi Jihan reached two finals of their domestic title matches in South Korea, and the final opponent was Lee Cang-ho.

Both finals were five-way chess, and in the subsequent challenge match, Choi Jihan snatched two titles in a row from Lee Cang-ho with a score of 3-2, 3-1, and his battle shook the Korean chess world, and the reputation of "Shi Fo Buster" began to spread.

So this time I met Li Xiangping, and when I met this superstar who has risen rapidly in the past two years and is the most popular in recent times, this game is still quite eye-catching.

It's just that even Li Xiangping can't figure it out, these years it is obvious that Korean Go looks stronger, and Koreans boast every day that "as the strongest ...... of Go", but Lao Shi seems to be particularly methodical when dealing with Korean chess players, and he seems to be particularly handy.

The "handy" here not only refers to the victory or defeat, but is actually more reflected in the content of the chess game, for example, up to now, Lao Shi has actually won all the games with Japanese chess players, but several of them are hard battles, especially the recent game against Lao Zhao, which won thrilling points.

However, Lao Shi is different against Korean chess players, except for the two games that he lost to Li Canghao before, as for other chess games, then whether it is Lao Cao or Da Li, or Liu Chonghe or Lee Sedol, Lao Shi basically won very beautifully, and the content of the chess game was very substantial.

It's the same against the young "Cui Poison" this time, and Xiao Cui's "Poisonous Snake Entanglement Skill" is useless against the Great Chess Saint.

Think about it, throughout Shi Da's chess saint's life, in addition to co-creating the "Danghu Ten Games" with Fan Xiping, which will surely be passed down through the ages, Li Xiangping personally thinks that his other most exciting chess games are two games.

One of the plates is the plate of "strong twisting of live sheep's head" with his disciple Zhang Zhenxi.

and the other game is the "Nine Dragons Dance" game with Cheng Lan, another national player in the Qing Dynasty.

This game of chess is fierce and rare in the world, during the middle game, the black and white sides actually have 9 pieces of inactive chess entangled together, the two big masters used all their strength, to fight to the death, and finally the old Shi was superior and won the game of chess.

To be honest, compared with that game of chess, some of the so-called "famous chess killing games" in modern times are simply weak, such as the so-called "Counting and Breaking a Thousand Hands Killing Game" played by Hideya and Yan Jinzhun at once, as well as the "Hundred Eyes Killing Game" played by Fujisawa Hideyuki and Kato Masao, etc., these chess games cannot be compared with "Nine Dragons Dance" at all in terms of the intensity of the battle, as well as the richness of the technical and tactical connotations.

Since Lao Shi can even play such a chess game, then now Xiao Cui is facing him, and the result can actually be imagined. In this game of chess, the two fought kung fu, Lao Shi's "Nine Dragons Dance Gong" completely suppressed Cui Poison's "Poisonous Snake Winding Gong", and less than 180 chess games ended, Lao Shi continued to run on the road of consecutive victories.

After winning this game, Li Xiangping attracted the attention of the entire Go world.

"Everywhere the mastery, not a single grass grows! In the just-concluded "Samsung Cup" quarterfinals, Chinese chess player Li Xiangping won again, for his crazy performance in the international arena, the reporter can no longer find the right words to describe, where is his limit? When the reporter thinks about it, perhaps only the most vulgar clichΓ© in the NBA can be described: "The sky is his limit". ”

"Monster! That's what a monster is! Since Li Xiangping was born, he has completely subverted my view of Go, which has thousands of years of Taoism, the oldest and most splendid Go in the world. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if a teenager was a Go player? But Li Xiangping ..... If you don't recognize him as a Go master, then you can only think of him as a monster. ”

"The invincible Li Xiangping, the Li Xiangping who is running wildly, everyone says, if this momentum continues, is it possible for Li Xiangping to achieve the first "Golden Slam" in the world chess world? ”

Originally, when all the discussion and praise were about to stop, a netizen threw out the word "Golden Slam", which once again brought Li Xiangping back to the center of public opinion, and everyone discussed it with relish.

The so-called "Golden Slam", of course, refers to winning all the World Series championships in one season, which is undoubtedly very difficult, in fact, let alone the "Golden Slam", even if the "Golden Slam", in real history, only Li Canghao has done it, so everyone talks about it, or thinks that Li Xiangping should be difficult to do.

However, Li Xiangping survived all world competitions after all, didn't he? In other words, at least so far, he is the only one in the world chess world who has this possibility, and in this case, of course, this does not prevent the people from eating melons from talking about it.

And after Li Xiangping saw such a discussion, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

"Alas, Brother Ding'an, you should really be more leisurely now, if you win all the way like this, it will be difficult for me to do it later.......

Of course, Li Xiangping will have mixed tastes, you must know that so far, Lao Shi's quota of 15 rounds this year has been used up to 5 sets. And he has now reached the semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup" and the "LG Cup", the semi-finals of these two competitions are trilogy, the final is five-way chess, plus the "Toyota Cup" quarterfinals and the "Chunlan Cup" quarterfinals.

So according to Li Xiangping's calculations, as long as Lao Shi reaches a final in the next game, the quota of 15 rounds will definitely not be enough.

What should I do if the quota is not enough? Of course, Li Xiangping had to sit in the finals of the World Series by himself, as long as he thought of this, then of course Li Xiangping would have mixed feelings.

"Alas, it's better to find a way to continue to improve as soon as possible, don't think about it now, it won't be too embarrassing when the time comes......"

I was really afraid of something, and when Li Xiangping was worried about this matter, Coach Wu of the national junior team came to the door again.

"What is Coach Wu looking for me?"

"Hehe Xiangping, have you forgotten that the "Nongshim Cup" will start next month, and I am here to discuss the "Nongshim Cup" with you. ”
