Nowadays, in the World Series held by Koreans, there is no rest day between the second game and the third game, all of which are played in a row, so after finishing his own game, Lee Xiangping did not return to China early this time, but stayed in Seoul to watch the tiebreaker of Gu Dali VS Lee Sedol.

To tell the truth, since becoming a professional chess player in this life, Li Xiangping really rarely watches other people's games with pure appreciation, so on the day of the game, Li Xiangping seemed quite positive, and he sat down in the research room early.

For reporters accompanying the army, such as Lao Jia, Lao Xie, and Zhang Da, Li Xiangping is definitely a rare guest in the viewing room.

After all, he debuted for so long, and he didn't lose before the semifinals, so at this kind of world championship scene, Li Xiangping used to be in the game room.

It was the first time that I sat in the viewing room with everyone like this from the beginning.

At half past 10 o'clock in the morning Korean time, half an hour after the game began, Li Xiangping appeared in the viewing room, and after a while, reporters who had nowhere else to go appeared one after another, Lao Xie joked when he saw Li Xiangping:

"Haha, it's shining, today's press room is really shining, the world's biggest spectators are here, everyone applauds and welcomes ......"

After everyone laughed and joked for a while, the first chess game came quickly, and this chess game had a total of more than 20 chess moves.

"Well, the world's biggest spectator, you rarely come to our territory, so please give your opinion."

After Li Xiangping briefly browsed the first chess game:

"Alas, I suddenly miss the speed layout of China Flow in disguise, everyone says that it is a good layout type, why don't you like to use it now?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they didn't understand how Li Xiangping could start with this topic-------

Of course, everyone won't know that Li Xiangping is still thinking about Xiao Li's "high-level dog moves" in real history, but as soon as he looks at today's start, he knows: The trick that impressed him with that step should have no chance to appear.

Go is known as "the same game through the ages", the opening is different, and the subsequent play will naturally be different.

At this time in real history, the world chess world is still popular with the "Chinese stream in disguise", and the "Vietnamese stream", which humans call the "speed-type" layout, is also born in this system.

But in today's game, the opening of Gu Dali and Xiao Li looks no different from the professional chess world before Li Xiangping crossed, with "opening point three or three", "cross style" and so on everywhere.

In that case, of course, it is impossible for that trick to happen.

No one can figure out why Li Xiangping expressed this emotion, but since he opened his mouth, there is still a response, Zhang Da reporter smiled:

"You're embarrassed to say, these layouts are rare now, aren't you the culprit, by the way, Xiangping, why don't you make these layouts? Do you think there is something wrong with these moves? Or do you just just don't like it? ”

Li Xiangping didn't know how to answer again.

The reason why he doesn't play is simply because the dog doesn't play, and the rapid deployment layout like "China Stream" can often be seen in the chess games of a generation of dogs.

By the second generation of dogs, there are very few ways to do this.

By the time the third generation of dogs arrived, this kind of method had basically disappeared.

But if you want to say what is wrong with this kind of layout, Li Xiangping can't say.

And not only him, he even thinks that even the dog himself, if the dog can talk, then the dog itself can't say one, two, three, four.

Because of the game of Go, Li Xiangping has always believed that the fewer pieces on the chessboard, the greater the difficulty factor.

For example, if we talk about the petty official stage of a game of chess, this is actually a simple arithmetic problem, which belongs to the category of elementary mathematics.

The stage of the big official is actually still the category of elementary mathematics, but it includes part of the content of elementary algebra.

And in the middle stage of a game of chess, it may be considered advanced mathematics, such as discrete mathematics and the like.

As for the layout of Go, it is a philosophical category, very metaphysical, very unreasonable, not something that a person of Li Xiangping's level can explain clearly, so after listening to Zhang Da's reporter's inquiry, he could only say vaguely:

"Hehe, I just don't like it, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, I think those fast-paced layouts are actually okay...... Oh, the new chess game is out, everyone looks at chess, hehe, everyone looks at chess......."

Taking advantage of the new chess game coming out, Li Xiangping hurriedly ended this question that he couldn't answer.

There is nothing to say about the morning chess, the two played a total of about 60 chess, according to Li Xiangping's personal judgment, he thinks that the morning process is the kind of real "two points", no one took advantage of anyone.

It is also based on his judgment that at noon, he began to faintly worry about Gu Dali, because his opponent today is Xiao Li, whether in his previous life or in this life, Li Xiangping thinks that Xiao Li's layout is notoriously poor, and his real strength has always been in the middle and back game.

Especially when the transition from the mid-stage to the official stage, it is like Xiao Li's territory, few people can take advantage of him------- even Li Xiangping himself can't, so every time he fights with Xiao Li, as long as he reaches this stage, then he will be very careful, and his spirit is highly concentrated, for fear of falling into Xiao Li's "zombie flow".

Now that the start is only "two points", then in Li Xiangping's mind, he thinks that Gu Dali is actually a loss.

When the afternoon game began, the number of people in the viewing room gradually increased, and Li Xiangping almost didn't pull any other Korean masters except for Da Li.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after Li Xiangping and Ma Xiaofei carefully judged the situation, Team Leader Ma's expression became serious.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, Team Leader Ma sighed lightly:

"Alas, Xiangping, it seems that you are going to play the finals with Xiao Li again, by the way, how many times have you met Xiao Li in the finals? I think it was twice before, right? ”

Li Xiangping nodded: "That's right, now it seems that the third time will be soon." ”

At six o'clock that night, Li Xiangping and Xiao Li's hands were held together, and the next meeting between the two would not have to wait for a long time, and the "Samsung Cup" final would start in December.

In this way, coupled with this trilogy with Xiao Li, Li Xiangping will still be busy next month, and the intensity of the schedule will still be called the devil.

In addition to the "LG Cup" semi-finals and the "Chunlan Cup" semi-finals, the next is the "Samsung Cup" final with Xiao Li.

After the game with Xiao Li, it was followed by the "Ying's Cup" final with Cui Poison, but the "Ying's Cup" final will not be decided until January next year, so in the entire Gregorian calendar 2004, the "Samsung Cup" is the last world champion.

After the group returned from South Korea, Li Xiangping did not return to the capital directly, but went to Shencheng------

Not because of anything else, because this year's "Nongshim Cup" has already opened in Shencheng, and the first stage of the competition has been held there.

Although as the main general, Li Xiangping definitely does not have to play in the first stage, but how to say that he is also the key figure who helped the Chinese team win the cup in the last competition, isn't it?

And last year's champion was also a champion who broke the Korean team's monopoly in the Three Kingdoms Ring Competition, and it was precisely because of this significance that Li Xiangping was also invited to attend the opening ceremony of this year's "Nongshim Cup".

Of course, Li Xiangping himself doesn't care, anyway, in his opinion, it's not okay to stay where he stays, he doesn't have to play chess this time, then he should go to Shencheng to take a short vacation, anyway, he has already watched a game of chess in South Korea, so you might as well watch a few more games.

In this year's Chinese team's "Nongshim Cup" lineup, in addition to Li Xiangping, the main player who is exempted from selection, the other four selected chess players are Chang Hao 9 duan, Luo Xihe 9 duan, Hu Yaoyu 6 duan and Peng Quan 5 duan.

From the perspective of the lineup, this is not the strongest lineup that the Chinese team can put out, but Li Xiangping feels that it doesn't matter, after all, in a competition like the "Nongshim Cup", the championship is never determined by the average level of the lineup, but by the height of the player with the highest level.

For example, there are so many "Nongshim Cups" in real history, if you really want to compare with the average level of the participating chess players, then the Korean team is not the strongest at that time, but because of the existence of Da Li, or the existence of Cao Li's master and apprentice in the early years, the Korean team can win so many championships.

Another example is the earlier Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, in fact, it is really better than the average, then the Chinese team may be slightly worse than the Japanese team, but it doesn't matter, due to the existence of Lao Nie, the Chinese team can grab the championship of the first three consecutive years.

After Li Xiangping arrived in Shencheng, when he saw the lineup of the South Korean team, this list surprised him a little.

The lineup of the South Korean team is: Big and Small Lee, Da Park, Choi Poison, plus one Bai Hongxi.

Although in this year, Bai Hongxi is still a standard pink newcomer, but judging from the situation in real history, this is the world champion lineup that has been replaced as a fake.

Among them, especially the selection of Li Shuangshuang, which surprised Li Xiangping------ you must know that in real history, Li Shuangshuang was selected for the "Nongshim Cup", which is really rare.

The selection of the Korean team is similar to that of the Chinese team: the sponsor Nongshim has a designated spot, and in this day and age, this quota basically goes to Da Lee.

Everyone else has to go through domestic selection.

I don't know what's going on, maybe I'm not convinced by Da Li's exemption, in short, in real history, Xiao Li often can't pass the domestic pre-selection, resulting in him rarely playing in the "Nongshim Cup".

But he not only came this year, but also supplemented by fierce generals like Choi Poison Dapu, judging from the lineup list alone, the lineup of the Korean team this time is really eye-catching.

It's just that in the first stage, most of them won't play, such as Big and Little Li, who simply didn't come to Shencheng this time.

It is precisely for this reason that in the first stage, the most eye-catching star chess player is the "big-faced cat" Peng Quan Wuduan, a total of 6 games he won 3 games alone, and he won 3 and a half games of chess, no matter black and white, this is the biggest anecdote in the first stage.

After Peng Wudan was knocked out of the ring by Cui Poison, Li Xiangping had no time to continue to stay in Shencheng, because the semifinals of the "LG Cup" had arrived, and he was about to go to South Korea.
