After the chess game, due to the lottery ceremony in the evening, Li Xiangping did not leave the Chinese Chess Academy immediately, but started a review with the opponent.

Well, Mr. Kato is also personable, because this is the first player who is willing to stay and review after the qualifiers.

It's a pity that during the entire review process, Li Xiangping played soy sauce almost the whole time. There is no other reason, first, Li Xiangping does not understand Japanese, second, mainly after the end of the game, Gu Da Kong Erjie Wu coach Zhang Da reporter and this group of people came around, so naturally, the whole review process became that these guys were communicating with Mr. Kato, and Li Xiangping was completely reduced to a bystander.

"Sir, why did you deal with this calamity? If you shouldn't, isn't this a quick kill? ”

In fact, with Gu Dali's question, Li Xiangping finally knew how lucky Lao Shi was to win this game of chess. Because he didn't really see it until this time, it seems that it is really like what Gu Dali said, the actual combat Lao Shi is actually looking for a blind robbery, and the opponent can not be at all, as long as he simply regains his qi and wins the kill, then the victory or defeat of this game of chess will be reversed.

Hearing that Mr. Kato was answering Gu Dali's inquiry, he couldn't understand all the Japanese he was talking about, so Li Xiangping communicated with his plug-in:

"Brother Ding'an, is that so?"

"Of course, this game is indeed a fluke."

After Mr. Kato finally finished speaking, Li Xiangping couldn't help but ask reporter Zhang Da:

"Reporter Zhang, what did Mr. Kato say just now?"

He said he had delusions. Reporter Zhang Da said to Li Xiangping with a smile:

"He also praised you for being very powerful, because the robbery you were looking for was completely beyond his expectations, and it was precisely because he didn't expect this move at all, so in the panic of the time, he didn't calculate the size of the robbery, and secondly, at the moment you landed, he had an illusion, mistakenly thinking that even if you should have a hand, your robbery material will still be one short, so he will make a ghost send a hand."

Li Xiangping was relieved to hear this, he felt that what Mr. Kato said should be the truth, because after all, this is a competition between people and people, so at Mr. Kato's age, it is completely understandable that he made such a mistake.

"Thank you for your advice, sir!"

After the review, Li Xiangping said such a sentence to Mr. Kato very politely, and in order to express his solemnity, he even bowed solemnly.

Of course, the reason why Li Xiangping is so polite today is that he thinks it is necessary for him to bow for himself. Because he believes that through today's game of chess, Lao Shi should see his weaknesses very clearly.

Whether it is today's game or the day before yesterday's game against Lao Cao, it should be said that Shi Da Chess Saint has shown strong mid-game combat effectiveness, and his combat effectiveness is by no means inferior to any modern chess player. But what about the level of his layout under modern rules? Then I have to admit that it's a bit tedious.

In the first game against Lao Cao, it was because of Lao Cao's strategy problem, he didn't think that he would have too much pursuit in the layout stage, so he was given a "two points" by Lao Shi. But in the second game, as soon as Mr. Kato played a little, Lao Shi immediately fell into the disadvantage, and he needed to rely on other people's mistakes to win the game.

This is Li Xiangping's understanding of his own plug-in, and he believes that he is such a smart person, so at this time, he should be able to see his own shortcomings more clearly.

Fortunately, after playing this game of chess, the top 8 battle will not start until March next year, and there are still several months in between, which is enough for me to continue to practice and upgrade.

"What should I find in the next stage to practice and upgrade......

Just when Li Xiangping was thinking like this, he casually asked:

"By the way, what about the other games?"

Reporter Zhang Da smiled bitterly and didn't answer, Gu Dali Kong Erjie also smiled bitterly and didn't answer, Coach Wu smiled wryly, but he patted Li Xiangping's shoulder and spoke:

"You're the only one left in the top 8, Xiangping, work hard."

"Huh?!"

It must be admitted that Li Xiangping's "Huh?! That's really not pretentious, he was really surprised. To say that although Chinese Go is at a low point this year, even if it is a Chinese Go in the trough, there are not many cases where there is only one of the top 8 in the World Series.

In real history, the only few times are mainly concentrated in the last few years, Li Xiangping said in his heart that it won't be such a coincidence, so he will let himself catch up once?

"Okay, let's stop sitting, let's go and see the results of other competitions, by the way, Xiangping, don't be in a hurry to go, wait and stay to eat together, and after eating, we can participate in the next draw."

"Okay, Coach Wu."

By the time everyone got up, the top 8 of this year's "Samsung Cup" had been officially produced, and after reading the top 8 list, Li Xiangping once again felt that the top 8 lineup was a bit weird. In addition to the Chinese team, only one of the "amateur chess players" remained, and the RB team actually had 4 chess players enter the top 8, occupying half of the country.

"This ..... What's the situation, when did the RB team get so awesome......."

I can't blame Li Xiangping for feeling weird, I believe that as long as it is a chess fan from later generations, then if you see that RB chess players can occupy half of the country, it will definitely be the same as Li Xiangping, more or less always feel weird.

Noriki Ita 9 dan, Satoru Kobayashi 9 dan, Wang Licheng 9 dan, Yamada Ki Miyo 8 dan, this is the list of 4 RB players who broke into the top 8. There were only 6 players in the "tournament", and only two were eliminated after two rounds, in addition to Mr. Kato, the other eliminated RB player was Cho Zhixun, who was eliminated in the first round by Rui Weiwei Jiudan, but even so, the RB team's report card so far is extremely good.

In addition to the 4 RB chess players, the remaining 3 are naturally Korean chess players, they are Lee Canghao 9 dan, Liu Chong Hyuk 9 dan and Xu Bong-so 9 duan, and they are several other Korean kings except Lao Cao.

Li Xiangping didn't have any feelings about this list, after all, in real history, before the rise of Xiao Li and their "Gang of Three", Korean Go relied on these people to win the world.

Li Xiangping even thinks that in the case of Korean Go, he also argues Lao Cao's theory of "genius promotes Go" from another angle, and if you want to know why Korean Go is rising, you really don't need to look for reasons such as "Go environment", "Go atmosphere", or "technical accumulation" and "technical heritage".

Without him, it happened that during this period, from Lao Cao to Xiao Li, the best Go talents were just born in South Korea, which is the real reason why Korean Go is strong, and Li Xiangping even thinks that this is the only main reason.

If you want to compare it with others, then to be honest, even if the RB Go of later generations degenerates like that, but compared to the norms of the professional system, RB Go still has to throw off the Chinese and Korean Go a few streets.

It's just that the eggs, no matter how standardized the professional Go system, because there is no top genius, it still can't stop the decline of RB Go, and finally get out of the well, although he stands out among RB chess players, but in the world, he can't be called anything "amazing", his talent is at most a level with South Korea's Xiao Pu Tianzi, in this case, relying on such a person alone, of course, can not lead RB Go to a comprehensive revival.

Li Xiangping thinks that this is the truth, this is actually the essence of Go, playing this kind of thing, that is really not to emphasize too many objective conditions and objective factors, especially after reaching the top level of human beings, Shenma "evolutionary theory" and "technology accumulation" and the like are not easy to use at all, and strive to determine your lower limit, only talent can determine your upper limit.

Because he represented the Chinese team alone to break into the top 8, it was difficult for Li Xiangping not to attract attention when he dined at the Chinese Chess Academy next. During this period, Li Yuanhu came over, and Lao Cai Cai Zhixiong also came, to say that today's results are certainly not good for Chinese Go, but it is a good thing for Li Xiangping.

After all, when there is only one lone seedling left, this provides a convenient door for Li Xiangping's training, and he believes that as long as he proposes any training conditions at this time, as long as this condition is not too excessive, the management of the chess academy should agree.

Because he saw the weaknesses of his plug-in, Li Xiangping was indeed ready to put forward a few training requirements, but all this is not in a hurry, wait until the opponent of the top 8 is determined.

Because there are 4 RB players in the top 8, there is no doubt that in the next round, Li Xiangping will definitely meet an RB player, who will he be?

At about half past seven in the evening, when Yamada Guisansheng Badan unfolded the small note in his hand, and the host asked Li Xiangping to go up and shake hands with him, Li Xiangping didn't know whether this signing was good or bad.

Because among the 4 RB chess players, Yamada Gui Sansheng Badan seems to be the least famous and weakest one, but Li Xiangping knows that in real history, it was this guy who won the runner-up of this "Samsung Cup".

So such a signing......
