After doing the first listing commentary in his life, Li Xiangping didn't stay in Shencheng for too long------

After all, when Gu Dali played, the gimmick of the pioneer no longer existed, especially after he won Naoki Hane, then everyone knew very well that the first stage of the "Nongshim Cup" was only 6 sets, and Li Xiangping was basically unlikely to play at this stage, in this case, it didn't make much sense for him to stay in the arena.

So in this way, after another day in Shencheng, Li Xiangping returned to the capital.

On the day he left, Gu Dali had just defeated Japan's Keigo Yamashita and achieved a wave of three consecutive victories, but when Li Xiangping returned to the capital, he soon heard the news that Gu Dali had lost chess, and this time it was South Korea's Yuan Shengqin who blocked him.

"Hehe, it seems that this "Yuan Fist", he still has a lot of experience with Gu Dali......"

Li Xiangping was not particularly surprised by the result of this game of chess, let alone surprised.

After all, in real history, when Gu Dali won his 7th world championship, his winning rate in the final of the World Series was 100%, and it was none other than Yuan Shengqin, who was the least famous in the "Gang of Three".

In addition to the World Series finals, Li Xiangping still remembers that there was a "China-South Korea Tianyuan Confrontation Match" before, and Gu Dali also lost to Yuan Shengqin.

You must know that when those two games were played, Gu Dali was in his heyday, and these two games were still chess.

If he was able to defeat Gu Dali twice in his heyday, then as Li Xiangping, he would certainly not be surprised by the result of this rapid chess game. It is precisely because of this that when Li Xiangping returned to the capital, he did not take this matter to heart, but focused on his own schedule.

It's early October 03, and under normal circumstances, the chess players in October every year are in the peak season for Go competitions, but because Li Xiangping didn't go to other domestic competitions, he didn't have many official matches this month, except for a few games of Weijia, and there was also a game of "Samsung Cup" quarterfinals.

There's no doubt that this Samsung Cup quarter-finals is the highlight of the month. After all, compared to previous years, this year is an odd-numbered year, so there are not many world competitions, except for the "Fujitsu Cup" that has already ended and the "Chunlan Cup" that has already reached the finals, there are only the "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup" held by Koreans.

You must know that so far, Li Xiangping has not won any championship that is completely his own.

The "Fujitsu Cup" originally had a chance, but at the last moment, he still relied on Lao Shi's help to withstand Xiao Li's counterattack.

Since the "Chunlan Cup" is a civil war for domestic chess players, he has already agreed with Lao Shi that this final can be left with his own plug-in to "play chess".

So at least within this year, if Li Xiangping wants to win a championship that belongs to him, there are actually only two chances of "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup".

It is precisely because of this that don't look at Li Xiangping's casual appearance on the surface, and say that the quarterfinals are a "small game", in fact, he is still very concerned in his heart, and he cares very much about a person's first championship.

cares so much that he has even made a good agreement with his plug-in: in these two competitions, no matter what situation he encounters, even if he loses the championship, he will admit it, and Lao Shi is not allowed to take over the game in the game.

Of course, this is not that Li Xiangping's consciousness has suddenly improved, but that he himself thinks that this is a hurdle that he must pass.

What are you kidding, Li Xiangping thinks that he is now a person who is ready to "fight dogs", and the only hope for dog fighting is to see himself and Lao Shi's "combination of two swords", "combination of two swords" to exert the greatest power, then there may be a chance to win.

Since you want to "combine two swords", the strength of the two people must match, if the level difference is too far, the combination of two swords may not be as good as Lao Shi alone.

If you can't even get the human world champion, how can you match the strength of Ren Lao Shi?

If it doesn't match Lao Shi's strength, then what kind of dog fighting is there to talk about?

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiangping will be very attentive to the next two world competitions, and after returning to the capital, he silently started to prepare for the competition.

The quarterfinals of the "Samsung Cup" are around October 20th, although the opponent this time is not strong, it is the South Korean veteran Liang Jaehao nine sections, but Li Xiangping did not slack off this time, from the day he returned to the capital, he began to prepare carefully.

Before going to South Korea to participate in the quarterfinals, Li Xiangping played 3 rounds of Weijia, 2 wins and 1 loss in 3 games, and the lost game was lost to Chang Hao Jiudan, which also made his overall record in Weijia this year now 12-5.

However, at this time, Li Xiangping didn't take the loss to Chang Hao to heart, he only thought about his own personal first crown, a personal first crown that completely belonged to him.

Maybe it was because of this attention that he brought him good results, and when he went to South Korea to participate in the quarterfinals of the "Samsung Cup", he won relatively smoothly, and it was relatively easy to defeat his opponent and successfully advance to the semifinals of this year's "Samsung Cup".

No one was surprised by this, after all, Li Xiangping's record was there, and defeating a mere Liang Jaehao Jiudan couldn't make any waves at all.

It's just that after the new top four lineup is produced, the topic still appears.

The top four lineups of this "Samsung Cup" are Lee Xiangping, Lee Canghao, Lee Sedol and Cho Jixun.

Considering that in the quarterfinals, the Chinese team still occupied half of the country, and only one of the four chess players survived, this result made domestic chess fans speechless.

If you take into account the semi-finals of the "LG Cup" that have been produced before, it is Li Xiangping's "Lu Bu Zhan Sanying", and he single-handedly singled out the three masters of South Korea, Li Jiacui, which made domestic chess fans speechless.

That's not all, and when the results of the semi-finals come out, then the whole Go world seems to have found a topic again.

Lee Sedol!

In the next semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup", Lee Xiangping will face Lee Sedol in a three-way chess.

Lee Xiang Ping will face Da Lee in the semi-finals of the "LG Cup", and now he has met Xiao Li in the "Samsung Cup".

Both semi-finals are trilogy and will be held next month, with the LG Cup in early November and the Samsung Cup in mid-November.

Not only that, this year's "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup" semi-final lineups seem to be highly overlapping, and Li Xiangping and South Korea's big and small Lee are actually in the two semi-final lineups, which has aroused great interest.

Among them, especially the South Korean media, on the second day after the quarterfinals, they couldn't wait to throw out such a sentence:

"The world chess world has entered the era of three-Li hegemony."

Obviously, the majority of Chinese chess fans will not admit such a statement, and most of the people who eat melons scoff at it.

Three Li hegemony?

Can Koreans have a face? Li Canghao and Li Sedol were beaten like that by our family Xiangping, what are you embarrassed to say? It is almost the same to say that South Korea's two Li have teamed up to challenge China's one Li.

So in this way, because of the South Korean media's use of the term "Three Li Hegemony", a new round of war of words has been set off between Chinese and South Korean chess fans.

Of course, Li Xiangping will not pay attention to this kind of war of words.

Think about it, in these two competitions, Li Xiangping is ready to fight independently, so if you want to win any world championship, Li Xiangping will most likely have to play more than three triples with South Korea's second Li.

And these two are the two strongest human chess players at the beginning of the new century in real history, and these two people together have won more than 30 world championships alone.

Considering the strength of the two people, and considering the urgency of time, they will have to fight with the two separately in less than a month, so in this case, Li Xiangping is not ready to win, how can he be in the mood to pay attention to any war of words.

It is precisely because of these two that after Li Xiangping returned from South Korea, it was rare to make an exception for these two-------

Because he can memorize a lot of chess games from later generations, especially those where dogs fight, Li Xiangping actually didn't pay much attention to the chess games of other human chess players for a long time.

But this time, when Li Xiangping came back from South Korea, he still brought back some chess games from these two, and he was going to take a look at them during this time, so he could be regarded as familiar with the opponent's situation.

However, in the study of the opponent's recent chess scores, Li Xiangping found a problem, no, in a strict sense, the problem was discovered by Lao Shi:

"Hehe, Xiangping Xiaoyou, have you noticed, these two have been playing chess recently, it's still quite interesting."

"Oh? What did Brother Ding'an find? ”

"If you find something but you can't say it, Xiangping Xiaoyou, you better see it yourself."
