defeated Cao Xunxuan Jiuduan, Li Xiangping stretched his waist, and was ready to take a stroll around the arena, after all, this is the venue of the World Series, Li Xiangping in his previous life has never had such an experience, not to mention that the second round of the game will be held the day after tomorrow, and the draw will be drawn tonight, Li Xiangping also wants to take the opportunity to see the situation of other chess players.

"Xiangping, here ......"

It's a pity that he was stopped before he could go shopping, and the person who called him was Zhang Xiaoyong, a reporter from the "Go World", who waved to Li Xiangping at the door of the research room next door.

Li Xiangping looked back, he found that most of the games were not over yet, and in this time period, most of the chess games should be at the critical moment when the winner was about to be decided, so it seemed really inappropriate to watch the game at this time.

So Li Xiangping left the competition hall and walked in the direction of reporter Zhang Da, and when he arrived at the door of the research room, reporter Zhang Da was full of smiles, and he punched Li Xiangping affectionately:

"It's amazing, Lao Cao was actually taken down by you... Tsk, Xiangping come in and watch chess with us. ”

Li Xiangping knows that this person in front of him is a fan of Lao Cao, he published a game book of Lao Cao a few years ago, and it can be said that it was he who introduced the name "soft wind and fast gun" to Chinese chess fans.

When he was walking on the road, Zhang Xiaoyong began to ask Li Xiangping for a manuscript:

"Xiangping, you don't have anything to do tomorrow, right? If there's nothing to do, I'll come to you and give you a detailed introduction to today's game, tsk, your move today is like a depth charge, and I think it's okay to be selected as our magazine's best player of the year, so I must ask you to explain it yourself. ”

"Tomorrow? I still have to go to school tomorrow, Reporter Zhang will be in the evening, and after the lottery is finished in the evening, let's put this game of chess together. ”

Reporter Zhang Da was stunned at first, and then he remembered that the person in front of him was still an amateur chess player, and his serious identity was a second-year junior high school student, and then he smiled:

"Oh, that's fine, it's night, good evening, to be honest, I can't wait to know how you came up with this trick when you competed."

"Wonderful hands are actually not ...... by chance," Li Xiangping sighed in his heart.

To be honest, this is actually the reason why he wants to take the initiative to explain this game of chess today. Through today's game of chess, Li Xiangping has a deeper understanding of his external chess power, especially the mid-game power of Shi Da Chess Sage, which gives him the urge to introduce it.

In Li Xiangping's view, Lao Cao's loss to Lao Shi today is really not accidental, in hindsight, Li Xiangping believes that Lao Cao is completely a mistake in strategic choice, because he is in the layout stage of "not seeking merit but seeking no fault" of the method, which made him not have any advantage in the opening stage.

What does that amount to? This seems to be equivalent to the game where both sides skip the layout stage and go straight to the mid-game wrestling. And the result of the two sides competing for mid-game strength now seems to be obviously Lao Shi's slight advantage.

When outsiders see this game of chess, they may praise Lao Shi's "depth charge-like skill", but as the closest bystander, Li Xiangping knows that this is not the case.

Because he had several exchanges with his plug-in during the game, in the current Li Xiangping's view, that trick was completely a natural product, and it could only be regarded as the "final blow", not all the reasons for the victory.

People often praise "clever moves", but to be honest, in the field of Go, a move is not a "chance" move, but it is actually more valuable than a "good move". Because the former means normality, it means a higher level, it means that you can make such a good move often.

These are the reasons why Li Xiangping wants to take the initiative to introduce this game of chess.

Just in the middle of a few words, the two came to the research room next door, the research room was very large and there were many people, but at this time, Li Xiangping didn't see any famous chess players here. Li Xiangping was still strange at first, but he was quickly relieved when he thought about it.

Because although this is a world series, it is only the first round of the competition after all, so those famous masters in the Go world, they are either still in the game, and those famous masters who did not participate, Li Xiangping put himself in his shoes, if it is himself, then of course it is unlikely to come here at this time.

The research office is mainly divided into several areas according to nationality, and reporter Zhang Da and Li Xiangping naturally came to the area where the Chinese are.

"Ha, our little hero is triumphant, good, good."

Seeing the two people sitting at the top, Li Xiangping politely stepped forward to say hello:

"Mr. Wang is good, Mr. Hua is good."

The "Wang Lao" in Li Xiangping's mouth is Wang Lunan, who is currently the vice chairman of the Chinese Go Association, and now everyone knows that he is about to succeed Chen Chaoyue, another veteran of Chinese Go, as the president of the Chinese Chess Academy.

And the "Teacher Hua" in Li Xiangping's mouth, of course, is another veteran of Chinese Go, Hua Yigang, who is currently the director of the Go Department of the Chinese Chess Academy and the leader of the national Go team, but after a period of time, he is about to be promoted to the vice president of the Chinese Chess Academy.

It should be said that both of them are big names in the Go world, but at this time, Li Xiangping and these two are not familiar with each other, let alone have any friendship, and the same, these two are also not familiar with Li Xiangping, after all, in recent years, thanks to Lao Nie's blessing, there have been more chess children learning chess, and a young man like Li Xiangping has gone to the sea.

It is precisely for this reason that although the two bigwigs were very polite to Li Xiangping and had a very kind attitude, after a few polite greetings and congratulations to Li Xiangping, everyone did not communicate more, and focused on other games that had not yet ended.

Li Xiangping noticed that there were two games of chess in front of the two bigwigs, which should be two games that were still in progress, and after listening to everyone's discussion for a while, Li Xiangping knew that one of the games was Chang Hao's game, and the other game was Yu Bin's game.

As for why these two sets? Of course, this is also very understandable, after all, these two are currently in the top two in the domestic rating score, so in the case of Ma Xiaofei not participating, these two are naturally pinned on high hopes and are considered to be the most competitive among all participating Chinese chess players, so it is normal to attract the attention of the two bigwigs.

You must know that the perspective of these bigwigs is of course different from that of ordinary chess fans, for example, in the first round of the game, in the eyes of ordinary chess fans, of course, it is "Jueyi" VS Lao Cao is more eye-catching than Chang Hao VS Park Ji-eun, but in the eyes of the results-oriented bigwigs? Of course, Chang Hao's game of chess is more important. This is the reason why these two games of chess will be placed in front of the two big guys.

Seeing this scene, of course Li Xiangping would not have any emotions such as "indignation", but as a reborn, he had another emotion in his heart.

From the perspective of future generations, the current Chinese Go is in an extremely low period, why is it so low? Li Xiangping thinks that from the two games of chess in front of him, he can actually manage the leopard.

Are Chang Hao and Yu Bin qualified leaders? Really doesn't blow it or black, Li Xiangping really thinks that both of them are unqualified. Needless to say, Yu Bin Jiuduan is born with the temperament of "the second oldest in ten thousand years", and although Chang Hao at this stage is already the first in the domestic rating, Li Xiangping knows that he is far from mature now, his shoulders are very immature, and he can't afford to carry the big chess of Chinese Go at all.

To tell the truth, in the current Chinese chess world, the really reliable chess player is still Ma Xiaofei, but Ma Xiaofei can't play Li Canghao, which is the real reason for the so-called "dark decade" of Chinese Go.

"Well, with Lao Shi's ability to show 'magic moves are not accidental', I don't know if he can shorten the dark period of Chinese Go by a few years......"

Just when Li Xiangping wanted to get into it,

"Xiangping, Xiangping ......" but Team Leader Hua took the initiative to talk to Li Xiangping, Team Leader Hua said to Li Xiangping with a smile:

"Xiangping, can you help us judge the outcome of these two games?"

Since these two games of chess are nearing the end, and he still has a plug-in, Li Xiangping quickly gave a judgment, and he still made a very positive judgment:

"Teacher Chang has already won, and Teacher Yu.... I think he's defeated......."

After 5 p.m., the first set began to end. The second person to finish the battle was Gu Dali, but he lost the game, he actually lost to Kato Masao Kudan, who was already in his 50s, and the hat of "Gu Yilun" seemed to continue to be bred.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Hao defeated South Korean female chess player Park Ji-eun, Yu Bin lost to Japanese chess player Wang Licheng, and Li Xiangping's two-game chess prediction was accurate.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lei won the opponent and Zhou Heyang won the match, and China has four players in the round of 16.

It's a pity that after that, there was no news of Chinese players winning. As a result, by more than 6 o'clock in the evening, all the games were over, and the Chinese chess players were 4 wins and 5 losses, and only 4 chess players entered the top 16.

At 7:30 p.m., the draw for the second round of the tournament took place.

When the opponent was confirmed, Li Xiangping smiled, because he didn't know whether the signing was good or bad.

Because his opponent is Masao Kato Kudan, it is Masao Kato Jiudan, who eliminated Gu Dali in the first round.
