The time came to 3 p.m. Korean time, and the game had been going on for more than 4 hours, with nearly 100 hands in the overall situation.

By this time, the on-site viewing room gradually began to be lively, and more and more Korean chess players came here, except for the members of the Chinese delegation who had nowhere to go and stayed here.

At three o'clock, Lao Cao walked in with square steps, and when he saw the arrival of his old man, many young Korean chess players got up one after another, and those who should give up their seats should give up, and those who should say hello will say hello.

Of course, Lao Cao is different from when he was young, he first came to the Chinese delegation to say hello to everyone, and even chatted with Lao Nie through a translator. After completing the courtesy, he returned to the Korean side to study the lineup, and naturally sat at the top.

After all, he still cared about the chess game, and after Lao Cao sat down, he hadn't watched the chess yet, so he asked:

"How's it going?"

Lao Cao opened his mouth to ask, of course, not everyone can reply, they all say that Japanese society is hierarchical, in fact, Koreans have no less rules than Japan.

Everyone looked at Liu Chonghe, who was sitting not far away, after all, on such an occasion, it was inconvenient for someone younger than him to speak, and someone older than him might not have enough chess skills, so it seemed that it was still the most suitable Liu.

Now Liu Chonghe's status is of course not low, so he can be more casual, he replied to Lao Cao with a smile:

"It's a bit strange today, we don't understand it very well, so we're waiting for Cao Guoshou to give us some guidance."

"Oh? Hehe. ”

Lao Cao smiled when he heard this, of course he knew that Liu Chonghe was joking with himself, but when he heard him say this, Lao Cao naturally couldn't help but be curious, and began to go through the previous process-----

You must know that when a professional chess player watches chess, it is not just a matter of looking at the final result diagram, but must go through the whole process in order to produce a clearer judgment.

After taking a few minutes to watch the previous process, Lao Cao began to look at the chessboard, and of course he knew why Da Liu said that before.

There is no other reason, because today's black chess is extremely familiar to Lao Cao, this is the classic "control flow" play that Da Li is most familiar with, best at, and has impressed countless masters, including Lao Cao.

If this was two years ago, or if he changed his opponent today, then Lao Cao believes that his current self will definitely be "smiling", he will think that Da Li who holds the black has no doubt, and even thinks that everything is in the hands of his disciples.

It's a pity that it's not two years ago after all, and Li Canghao's opponent today is Li Xiangping-----

The chess player who broke Da Li's unique skill of "control flow".

So in this case, of course, Lao Cao understood what Da Liu said just now-----

Because the opponent is Li Xiangping, even if you feel good about yourself and think that black may have an advantage, do you dare to say that?

"Hehe, what does Cao Guoshou think?"

Facing Liu Chonghe's question, Lao Cao smiled, and he asked rhetorically: "That Chonghe, by the way, there are everyone, what do you think of this chess now?" ”

When Lao Cao said this, he simply ignored Liu Chonghe and set his eyes a little farther away---- where younger chess players such as Lee Sedol were sitting, and Xiao Li and the "Gang of Three" were also closely watching the final.

Compared with Liu Chonghe, the current Xiao Li and Cui Poison and others have certainly not become old fritters, so in the face of Lao Cao's inquiry, Xiao Li's answer is a little more direct---- just a little more direct:

"For the time being, I haven't found any particularly effective means for white."

"Oh, haven't you found any special means......

When Lao Cao heard this, he didn't show joy, let alone really think that black had an advantage, but looked dissatisfied, and even began to "teach" the juniors:

"The gap, this is the gap between you and Li Xiangping, now it's like this, so with Li Xiangping's style, how could he not leave a back hand, but you, you can't even find out his intentions now..... Since you haven't found it yet, let's keep looking. ”

"Yes, Cao Guoshou."

At this moment, even if he is as unruly as Xiao Li, he has no objection to Lao Cao's words, as if Li Xiangping really has a very powerful follow-up killing move. So in this way, everyone continued to bury their heads in research.

But actually, of course, they think too much. Li Xiangping now has a fart killing move, not only does he not have a killing move, but he doesn't even have a strong sense of disadvantage-----

This is actually one of the characteristics of Da Li's "control flow", his style is actually a little bit of "boiled frog in warm water" attributes, which means that when playing against him, it is difficult to have a sense of disadvantage in the middle game.

The perception of disadvantage is usually at the official stage, but once you realize your disadvantage, it is basically irreparable most of the time.

To say that as a traverser, Li Xiangping is of course not unaware of Da Li's characteristics, but how to say it, knowing is one thing, and whether he can cope with it is another.

After all, this is the first time that Li Xiangping has officially played chess with Da Li - ah----

It was the first time he faced the king of this era independently. So at this time, it is actually normal for him to fall into this situation of "boiling frogs in warm water".

It's a pity that Li Xiangping himself is not clear about this situation.

Not only did he not know, but the other bystanders were also unclear, and even Li Canghao, who was sitting opposite him, was not clear.

The only thing that is clear is that it may only be Lao Shi, but it's a pity that this guy listens to his good words very much, and it is impossible to reflect Li Xiangping in the game.

All of this actually directly contributed to the outcome of this game of chess.

Faced with a slightly backward situation, Li Xiangping was ignorant and ignorant, he was still doing things step by step, thinking that he was "patiently" dealing with his opponent.

Li Canghao may have realized his advantage, but considering that his opponent is Li Xiangping, he did not dare to relax in the middle stage, he was still cautious, still conscientious, and even shot more ruthlessly step by step......

As for the spectators in the research room, since Lao Cao came in, of course, they were still looking for Li Xiangping's "hidden killing move", but by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, except for a few chess players such as Lee Sedol, who were still working hard there, most of the others had already given up treatment.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, when the overall situation had passed 160 hands, even Lee Sedol had already given up treatment, and he and Choi Poison and others stopped researching.

So at this time, of course, it's time to make a summary, on the Korean side's lineup, the first to run out to make a summary is, of course, Lao Cao:

"This ..... It feels like the Chinese monster is a little out of shape this time? Hehe, this is good news for Canghao. ”

So how to say it, the word "state" is absolutely a good thing, Li Xiangping thinks it's a bit like a "temporary worker" in the system, this is a perfect weapon to shake the pot.

For example, after Lao Cao just said this, all Korean chess players nodded frequently, looking deeply approving.

Yes, except for using "not in good shape", it seems that Li Xiangping's performance today cannot be explained at all.

Who would have thought that the "monster" who made the entire Korean chess world talk about the tiger would actually behave like this today? In today's game of chess, Li Xiangping not only did not make any eye-catching moves, but he was even much slower in his sensitivity to victory and defeat, and he was still there step by step when the situation was already behind, as if he had completed a standard "euthanasia".

So for this situation, it seems that there is no other word to explain it except "state".

Not only on the Korean side, but also on the Chinese side, in fact, they are also using "state" to explain Li Xiangping's first game loss.

At around 4:50 p.m., when everyone in the viewing room had confirmed that Li Xiangping had surrendered, reporter Zhang Da asked Lao Nie to "say a few words":

"It's normal to win or lose for a while, what's so strange about this......" Lao Nie waved his hand, looking indifferent:

Since losing to Liu Chonghe in the "Nongshim Cup", it can be seen that Li Xiangping is currently in a bad situation, and he has been losing chess continuously recently, but the ups and downs of chess players are actually a very normal situation, which is commonplace in the Go world. ”

"Then Nie Lao, are you not worried?"

"Don't worry, I'm not worried at all," Lao Nie shook his head like a raqtrum:

"Xiao Zhang, you also know that this is only the first game of Wuban chess, although his state looks a little wrong, but one thing you have to admit is that Li Xiangping should be regarded as an excellent professional chess player."

"Of course, Xiangping is of course an excellent professional chess player."

"That's right," Lao Nie looked very satisfied with Zhang Da's reporter's "praise":

"Since he is an excellent professional chess player, of course he has a strong ability to self-regulate, so we have to believe in Xiangping, today's game is just an accident, or an accident, I believe he will be able to adjust soon."

Well, Lao Nie's words sounded very reasonable, so reporter Zhang Da believed him like this. In fact, not only reporter Zhang Da believes it, but most of the people who eat melons also believe in this statement----

Didn't you see that South Korea's Lao Cao and even Da Li himself said this in an interview after the game?

The only one who doesn't believe in the term "state" is, of course, Li Xiangping himself. However, after the end of the first game, he seemed to have a place to dump the pot, he was complaining about his plug-in Lao Shi, thinking that it was what he said to him at noon, which disturbed his mood and affected his state.

It's a pity that you can still find an excuse in the first game, but of course there are not so many excuses in the second game, and a day later, Li Xiangping lost to Li Canghao again.

0 to 2!

Li Xiangping was in a desperate situation.
