"Xiangping Xiaoyou, I see why you are a little sullen?"

"Alas~~ Brother Ding'an, you said that my arithmetic path is really bad, and it doesn't matter if it's not as good as you, but why is it not as good as that ancient force, with my stinky chess, how to fight dogs in the future."

"Hehe, Xiangping Xiaoyou, let me tell you, in fact, when you are playing chess, you play a lot of tricks, and I often can't count them."

"Oh?"

"Don't forget, we are still human beings, since we are human beings, then there must be emotions, we can never be as cold as a machine forever, let's play chess and pay attention to a degree of dedication, Xiangping Xiaoyou, let me ask you, when you are playing by yourself, and watching me play against others, can your dedication be the same?"

"This ......"

Lao Shi paused and continued: "Besides, the way of Go is so complicated, and the way of calculation is by no means the whole of Go, which is like ..... like, I watch your modern football games, sometimes often count the running distance of players in a game, but the player who runs the most may not be the best player in the world today." ”

"This ...... Ha! Brother Ding'an, although I know that you are comforting me, how can I be so useful. ”

Lao Shi smiled slightly: "Without him, because what I stated is the truth, of course you can listen to it, okay Xiangping Xiaoyou, tomorrow is the last game, this game is a big deal, let's discuss it well, how to play tomorrow's game." ”

"Okay, good ......"

Not to mention how the two prepared for the game, after Li Xiangping 2-0, this made the entire professional chess world wait for the last game with a complicated mentality-------

This game is to give way first! It is the first to make Gu Dali, who has a record second only to him in the past year or so!

Although before the game, everyone generally thought that this time it must be Gu Dali's game of chess, but when he really came to this point, Gu Dali was really demoted to the first place by Li Xiangping, which still stimulated many professional chess players.

Whether it is said that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, or it is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, these two descriptions may not be too appropriate, but roughly this means, in short, before the third game, the professional chess world began to have tendencies, and most professional chess players hope that Gu Dali can win, as if he won the game, which is to help everyone keep the first pass.

However, the reaction of ordinary chess fans was diametrically opposite.

After all, it's not about yourself, so for most people who eat melons, it is natural to watch the excitement and not be afraid of big things, and always hope that the more disparity there is, the better.

On September 10th, the three-way lifting special chess battle between Li Xiangping VS Gu Dali was launched in such an atmosphere.

Before the game, Li Xiangping didn't pay attention to these external reactions, anyway, in his opinion, now that he has come to this point, he must strive to win the last game no matter what------- after all, only by winning this game, he thinks this game is meaningful.

It's just that Li Xiangping didn't expect that it may be that the two sides attach different importance to it, or it may be that the power of the two swords is really huge, of course, the biggest possibility: it is a subtle change in the mentality of the opponent Gu Dali, and he doesn't seem to play at the best level, which leads to the progress of this game of chess is extremely smooth.

Two hours in the morning, the two sides played less than 60 moves, but at this time, the whole situation began to tilt towards the white chess side------ if today is the first, Li Xiangping thinks that the opponent has no chance now, Gu Dali will definitely not be able to stop himself and Lao Shi's double sword, but because it is the first to set, it is not easy to say at this time.

By a little more than two o'clock in the afternoon, after the game had passed 80 hands------ Li Xiangping thought that if the rules of the second game were followed, Gu Dali would most likely need to stand up.

However, at this time, Gu Dali seemed to suddenly wake up, although he still couldn't stop the combination of two swords, the overall quality of the chess was much better than before, and he always maintained a slight advantage with only a little bit left.

At a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon, when the game was about 110 moves, Li Xiangping carefully examined the chess game, and after carefully judging the situation, he said to his plug-in:

"Brother Ding'an, if you don't do this, you won't follow your plan, and you will be somewhere and somewhere according to my will."

"Oh, you're recommending this trick to be extremely dangerous, have you really figured it out?"

"Of course I didn't figure it out," Li Xiangping said with a smile.

"But I just judged that your plan is easy to simplify the situation, but our real space is not enough, if you play like this, there is a high probability that it will be flat in the end, and it is very likely that there will be a draw."

Li Xiangping paused and continued: "So I suggest that I follow my plan, this is not only to give myself a chance, but also to give the opponent a chance, what does Brother Ding'an think?" ”

"Hehe, that's okay, listen to you."

At 5:10 p.m., when the game had passed 220 hands and both sides had entered the countdown, at this time, Li Xiangping made the last judgment of the game.

After confirming that his judgment was correct, Li Xiangping raised his head slightly and looked at his opponent Gu Dali a little embarrassed------

At present, the white chessboard is ahead of one eye, if there are no other accidents, no, Li Xiangping believes that there can be no accidents at this time, and this game of chess will be won by his own side with a one-purpose advantage.

In fact, the result was not beyond Li Xiangping's expectations, at 5:40 p.m., Gu Dali, who was in charge of black, insisted on finishing the last official, but the result was irreversible, and he lost the game again by the smallest margin.

"Brother Strong, I'm sorry......"

Of course, Li Xiangping didn't know that half an hour before he silently apologized to Gu Dali in his heart, in the viewing room next door, Dean Wang and Zhang Wendong Jiuduan were chatting with Lao Ye, the organizer of this competition.

"Mr. Ye, you won't hold only one competition in this competition, right?"

"Of course," Lao Ye said to the two with a smile: "Dean Wang, Director Chang, the influence of this competition is also available to everyone, as long as I am still sitting in this position, of course I still want to hold this competition, but who will I invite next year, well, let me think about it......"

Zhang Wendong Jiuduan didn't let Mr. Ye think much about it, and then he smiled and said:

"Mr. Ye, have you ever thought about expanding the scale of the competition next year?"

"Ahh Scaling up ......"

"Just invite a few more people," this time it was Dean Wang who spoke, and he sang and said in harmony with Zhang Wendong:

"For example, South Korea's big and small Li, Japan's Zhang Xu Yitian or something, even Gu Dali lost this year, he can come back next year, you invite a few more, let these people come and play chess with Li Xiangping, how about Mr. Ye?"

"Hiss~~~!"

Lao Ye gasped: "Of course I am willing, of course I am willing, of course it is great to be able to invite all these people, but are these people willing to come?" ”

"If you don't want to, just do the work," this time it was Zhang Wendong's turn to take over:

"In terms of inviting chess players, the chess academy can help with the work, I believe that with the foundation of this year's competition, there will definitely be people willing to come next year, and I even think that if Li Xiangping has been so strong, this qualification may still be very popular, and the world's top masters will be proud to participate in this competition."

To be able to organize such a competition, of course Lao Ye is also a chess fan, so after listening to Zhang Jiuduan's words, his eyes lit up at the time: "It's like Mr. Wu Qingyuan's ten battles back then, if you are not a first-class master, you are not qualified to appear on that stage at all, and the Chess Academy ..... the Chess Academy are intentionally making our event a similar stage, right?" ”

Dean Wang nodded with a smile, Director Zhang also nodded with a smile, and finally Dean Wang spoke:

"That's what we mean, now it's up to Mr. Ye to see if he has this will."

"Haha, yes, so much! It's just that there's still a lot of work to be done to make such a competition....."

Dean Wang waved his hand and interrupted him to continue:

"Of course, the specific work is indispensable, we came over today, mainly to ask Mr. Ye what he means, as long as you have this will, the specific work is to advance one by one, including inviting people, including the specific rules of the game after the scale, by the way, including the prize money and game fees of the game, etc., we can discuss one by one, okay, I think the time is almost over, the game should be over soon, let's go prepare for the closing ceremony in the evening, as for the expansion of the scale, Mr. Ye can also blow the wind first at night, if you want to be low-key, Let's wait until we come up with a specific charter first, and then talk about it after things are more reliable, everything depends on Mr. Ye's meaning. ”

"Haha blow the wind first, this must blow the wind first, but I'll try to be as vague as possible, so let's spy on the reaction of the outside world first."

"Hehe, this is a safer method, okay Mr. Ye, let's get here today, when will we come to the chess academy as a guest, let's all add it up together."

"Okay, okay, please Wangyuan, Director Zhang, please ....."

This special chess battle with Gu Dali ended like this, but unfortunately at the closing ceremony that night, perhaps Lao Ye's "blowing wind" was too vague and did not attract the attention of Li Xiangping himself.

It is understandable that he didn't pay attention, because it is already mid-September, which is the peak season for Go competitions, and after this trip to Hunan Province, there are still a lot of games waiting for him:

A week later, the quarterfinals of the "Toyota Cup" were held in late September, the first and second rounds of the "Samsung Cup", and then the first and second rounds of the "LG Cup" at the end of September and the beginning of October.

In addition to the international competition, this year's Weijia has also entered the final moment, considering that the team is currently ranked second, and he has missed so many rounds in front of him, so at the last moment of this championship, Li Xiangping is of course embarrassed to be absent again, how can he be worthy of the high game fee paid by Lao Cai.

So after returning to the capital, Li Xiangping began to be busy, and he seemed to have returned to the state of winning the "Golden Slam" the year before last, and began to rotate in China, Japan and South Korea.

The time soon came to October 2006, and in more than 20 days, Li Xiangping played 9 games of chess, including 5 games in the World Series and 4 games, and he was invincible in all competitions to maintain a complete victory.

And at this time, everyone found out that Li Xiangping had not lost chess this year.

After he was beaten 2-0 by Gu Dali last year, he has not lost a game for more than half a year.

Of course, this is a new record, so after entering October, "who will be the next player to beat Li Xiangping" has become a new hot topic in the Go world.

However, at this time, Li Xiangping didn't care about this, because at this time, the "Galaxy Bay" in his house was about to open, so during the 11th Golden Week, with a few days of free time, Li Xiangping decided to care about Li Da Tuhao's career.
