On the next day's rest day, Li Xiangping, who was idle, began to chat with his plug-in about the opponent of the second day.

"Brother Ding'an, our next opponent is still more interesting, he has a strange nickname in the Korean chess world, and he is known as Mr. 98%."

"Mr. 98%? Why? ”

"Roughly refers to the lack of about 2% of his chess skills, and the lack of this 2%, Koreans think that it is concentrated in mental strength, the will and character are not tenacious enough, and sometimes there is a lack of fighting spirit, in short, he thinks that he is not the kind of top winner and loser, Brother Ding'an, you say that as chess players, the cultivation of spiritual power is really so important?"

"Hehe, what do you think of Xiangping Xiaoyou?"

Li Xiangping sighed and said: "Alas, I used to be a little unimpressed by this, but the last time I saw Xiao Li's performance, it really touched me a lot, and now I suddenly feel that the cultivation of the spiritual power level is also very important for chess players." ”

Lao Shi paused slightly: "Xiangping Xiaoyou, in fact, I have always felt that even if you say the level of spiritual power, you are not inferior to the Goryeo chess player by half a point." ”

"Who? Will I be the next opponent? ”

"No, I'm talking about Lee Sedol."

Li Xiangping rolled his eyes after hearing this, and said in his heart, what is the situation? Some time ago, I just felt that this guy's sycophant kung fu had improved, why did he go back?

Compare mental power with little Li? Are you the winner and loser of his level?

No, no, Li Xiangping feels that he can't be so accustomed to Lao Shi anymore, and it's okay for others to talk about it, but this guy is his own plug-in, and it's rare for him to cross through once but meet a plug-in who can only pat himself on the back? How embarrassing is this to get out? How do you let yourself mix in the Crossing Realm?

"Hmph, Brother Ding'an, then you can tell me, just in terms of mental power, why am I not inferior to him by half a point? Let's talk about it first, if you can't say one, two, three, or four today, put away this set in the future, and don't shoot this kind of unqualified sycophant. ”

"Hehe, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, I see that you misunderstood me, what I said just now is indeed my heartfelt words."

Li Xiangping didn't bother to pay attention to him, and made up his mind that if this guy didn't say one, two, three, four, then he really wanted to prohibit this guy from patting his ass.

Sure enough, Lao Shi continued: "Xiangping Xiaoyou, I know what your problem is, you are mainly because of the failure of 3 consecutive stages in your previous life, this matter has a great impact on you, and even leaves you with a shadow, not only makes you extremely unconfident, but even feels that you are not a qualified winner and loser, right?" ”

"It's hard to ...... Isn't that so? ”

Lao Shi smiled: "Hehe, what was the situation before, let's not mention it now, Xiangping Xiaoyou, let me ask you, until now, if you meet any chess player, will you still have any self-confidence, do you think you will definitely not win?" ”

"How is that possible, take that Xiao Li as an example, even if he just won a game against me, I don't think he is stronger than me, if I meet him next time, I am confident that he will be cut off the horse, let alone him, even if I win my big Li in chess last year, I don't feel weak at all, even if I don't have your help, I am also confident that I will cut him off the horse."

"That's right."

"What, what's right?"

"Congratulations to Xiangping Xiaoyou for removing the shadows, and now he has become so confident, isn't this an excellent winner."

"Huh?"

At this time, Li Xiangping was a little stunned by Lao Shi, and only reacted two minutes later:

"Oh Brother Ding'an, no, no, I was almost surrounded by you, what were we talking about before? I'm talking about the quality of the top winners, but what does that have to do with my lack of self-confidence? ”

"Why doesn't it matter, Xiangping Xiaoyou, you must know that the reason why you are difficult to call an excellent winner and loser before is that you are not confident enough, and you always have doubts about yourself, and now your shortcomings have been made up, doesn't that prove that you have grown in this area, why is this not an excellent winner?"

I don't know why, after hearing Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping actually thought of Lao Nie for the first time.

Is Lao Nie a top winner? Well, of course, he won't mention it now, but ten or twenty years ago, at the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, Li Xiangping thought he still forgot it.

What was Lao Nie's biggest advantage back then? Of course, everyone on the earth knows that Lao Nie is the kind of person who is extremely confident, and the chess he plays has a momentum of being indomitable, and it is precisely by relying on this advantage that he ranks among the top winners and losers.

So thinking about it this way, it seems that what Lao Shi said just now also has some truth, and the element of "self-confidence" seems to be really important.

Before Li Xiangping could completely sort out his thoughts, Lao Shi said again:

"In addition, Xiangping Xiaoyou, you also need to know that there are thousands of differences between people, and there are different types of winners and losers, take the Korean chess player Lee Sedol as an example, this person is certainly worthy of admiration, and he is indeed a very good winner, but you also have your characteristics and advantages, so Ding'an thinks that you really don't need to forcibly compare with him."

"Me, what's my good about?"

"Xiangping Xiaoyou has a very good mentality, and is positive and optimistic...... By the way, in a sentence you once taught me, Xiangping Xiaoyou has the spirit of revolutionary optimism, just like the example of the surname Lu you gave me last time, no, the surname Zhou, and the descendants of the surname Zhou. ”

Li Xiangping was dumbfounded: "This, this is also a kind of temperament of the winner and loser?" ”

Lao Shi said in a very affirmative tone: "How not? Xiangping Xiaoyou, you must know that this spirit is extremely rare, and it is impossible for non-top winners and losers to have it. ”

Li Xiangping felt that he couldn't talk anymore, he had already been defeated by Lao Shi at this time.

Of course, he felt that he was defeated, not that he had been persuaded by Lao Shi, but that he felt that this guy was too capable of, and he definitely couldn't talk about him.

Therefore, at this time, Li Xiangping also secretly decided that if he really wants to go to college in the future, he can really only choose the philosophy department, and if he chooses other majors, then he will not want to win Lao Shi in this life.

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, I suddenly feel now that it's really a pity for you to be a chess player, if you were born in modern times, there is an organization that is very suitable for you."

"Oh, what organization?"

Li Xiangping couldn't help laughing: "There is an organization called pyramid scheme, you don't know it, Brother Ding'an, if you enter this organization, I guarantee that you will be like a fish in water, and you will be able to become famous in a very short time." ”

"MLM? What kind of organization is this? ”

Li Xiangping didn't want to break with Lao Shi:

"I don't know, you can find out for yourself when you have time in the future, but Brother Ding'an, I warn you, this organization is illegal, you can't always fool me with illegal words."

The next day, in the second round of this year's "Samsung Cup", in the face of South Korea's "98%" Mr.

Although due to the opponent's "good temper", he was unable to win a quick victory today, but despite this, the whole situation has been controlled by Li Xiangping.

A little more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, not long after the two sides entered the countdown, the chess game was over, and Li Xiangping, who was in charge of white, advanced to the next round with an advantage of 3 and a half eyes.

"Mr. Ma, how are the other competitions?"

Ma Xiaofei glanced at Li Xiangping, he didn't bother to congratulate him now, but smiled directly:

"The Japanese team is a bit miserable this time, and this round should be wiped out."

"Oh?"

Due to the weakness of the qualifiers, in fact, by the round of 16 today, there are only two chess players left in the Japanese team, and these two chess players are none other than Zhang Xu and Yida Kiki, who had just played the final with Li Xiangping not long ago.

It's a pity that Zhang Xu met Da Li, and Yitian Jiji met Chinese chess player Wang Wei Baduan------ in real history, the runner-up of this year's "Samsung Cup".

When Li Xiangping came to the viewing room, Zhang Xu's game was over, and Da Li also won with an advantage of 3 and a half meshes, and when Li Xiangping looked at Yitian VS Wang Wei's chess game, he quickly judged that Yitian Jiji had lost, and Wang Wei's eight-section victory was already a sure thing.

"Hehe, the next round will be a pure confrontation between China and South Korea, I don't know how many it will be .......now."

After following the match between the two Japanese chess players, Li Xiangping looked at other chess games, and in the remaining 5 games, he first focused on the battle between Xiao Li VS Chang Hao.

Since it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, all the chess games were actually about to be decided, and after watching it for a while, Lao Nie leaned his head over:

"Xiangping, how is Xiao Chang's plate?"

Li Xiangping was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Alas, Xiao Li looks like he has been resurrected with full blood......

After watching this game, Li Xiangping was not interested in watching other chess games, so he quietly waited for the game to end.

After a while, Gu Dali walked into the viewing room with a smile on his face, and he defeated the old king of South Korea Liu Chonghe today.

In less than 2 minutes, it was Chen Xiaoqiang who walked in with a sad face, he lost to South Korea's Park Yongxun.

Chen Xiaoqiang was also the last Chinese chess player to lose in this round, and after half past five o'clock, the last two games were over, and the two "little dragons" chess players Zhou Heyang 9 Duan and Wang Lei 8 Duan both won the victory.

In this way, the Chinese team of 7 people participated in the battle and 5 people passed, and the results were okay, and in the next quarterfinals, the ratio of China and South Korea was 5 to 3.

The quarter-finals won't start until early November, but today, the matchup will be finalized.

After the draw was over in the evening, Team Leader Ma began to mutter: "Don't they all say that the lottery for the Go game is not boring?" But why do I think I'm tired of today? ”--------

There is only one reason why Team Leader Ma is dissatisfied, that is, Li Xiangping drew Wang Lei's eighth section, which seems to have been successfully avoided by the Korean team.

In addition to this only set of civil war, the other 3 sets are Da Li vs. Wang Wei, Xiao Li vs. Zhou Heyang, and Gu Dali VS Park Yongxun.

For such a lottery result, in the end, it was still the old Nie atmosphere:

"Haha, Ma Xiao, you are just cautious, isn't there such a sentence, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are pale and powerless, what do you care about the result of such a lottery, what is there to worry about? Okay, ready to go home......"

Li Xiangping was next to him, hehe Zhile, since people don't care about it, then he doesn't care about this kind of thing.

Especially when I think of Lao Shi's words yesterday, well, playing Go, sometimes I really have to learn Lao Nie's atmosphere.

After returning to China, Li Xiangping saw a round of armor with a needle.

This is the 20th round of this year's siege, and Li Xiangping's team has won a hearty 4-0 victory. The main rivals, Yamashiro, won only one "home win".

The gap between the two sides widened to 5 points, and with only 2 or two rounds left in the tournament, the Yamashiro team only had a theoretical chance to turn the tables.

After playing this game of chess, Li Xiangping is about to go to Shencheng, the semi-finals of the 5th "Yingshi Cup", this time he was greeted by Chang Hao Jiuduan.
