At 6:50 p.m., the game lasted for nearly 8 hours, and the game ended.

Faced with the result of "Bai Sheng's quarter", Li Xiangping was speechless.

After the referee's count, Gu Dali was the first to rush into the game room:

"Alas~~ It's a pity for the mastery boss! What a pity! In the back dozen or so 2-eyed officials, you can win any of the others, but this is the only ....... Alas, I thought I would have the opportunity to ask you for another chess lesson, but now ......"

Li Xiangping smiled vigorously at Gu when he heard it, of course, the smile was mainly bitter, but it was also mixed with a hint of congratulations-------

The semifinals on the other side are Gu Dali VS Zhang Xu, they also played 1-1 in the first two sets, because they have been playing, so before this, Li Xiangping did not know the result on the other side, but when he heard Gu Dali say this, he knew that in the next "Chunlan Cup" final, it would be Gu Dali and Da Li who would fight.

As for the situation that Gu Dali just said, the current Li Xiangping is of course well aware, he knows that as long as he doesn't accept that official at that time, he accepts any other one, especially the "sticky" -----that is the one that was snatched away by Da Li in the end, then the trick of the official combination that appeared in the actual battle will automatically disappear, and the final result will be his own half-eyed victory.

On the surface, I lost by luck, more than 10 chess hands of the same value, and I picked the only way to lose.

But was today's defeat all due to luck? Li Xiangping couldn't deceive his heart, he knew that he couldn't completely say that, the only difference between himself and Da Li today was ------

When I was facing more than 10 2-goal officials, I didn't find any problems with my chess shape, which means that in the game, I didn't notice the problem of "tight air" from beginning to end.

But Da Li noticed!

And judging from the speed of his fall at that time, he should have noticed this problem a long time ago, just because his combination of magic moves wants to be established, which first requires his own "cooperation", and today, he is just "cooperating" with him, less than ten percent of the probability, he "cooperates" with the opponent to show off his magic moves.

Therefore, from this point of view, it is reasonable to say that Da Li won because of luck, but it may not be possible to say that he lost because of luck.

After figuring these things out, Li Xiangping stretched out his hand to Da Li very graciously:

"Congratulations!"

Facing Li Xiangping's outstretched hand, especially in the face of Li Xiangping's sincere and calm gaze, Li Canghao was obviously stunned.

As a veteran who has played in the professional chess world for many years, it is of course common for him to receive congratulations after winning chess, but from such a sincere gaze from the opponent who just lost to him, Da Li has really not seen much before.

may have been infected by Li Xiangping's sincerity, Da Li began to babble endlessly, but unfortunately he spoke Korean, and Li Xiangping couldn't understand a word.

Finally, with the help of translation, Li Xiangping knew a rough idea:

“....... Da Li said that you are very strong, he won by luck, and he said that after he carefully studied your chess, he was shocked by your talent, knowing that he had an obvious gap with you in the middle and early game, and he would definitely not be able to compete with you, he said that his only chance was to find a way to drag it out to a situation like today, and he was lucky that he finally waited for your mistake today......"

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard it, although judging from the progress of this Jiuban chess, he judged that Da Li was telling the truth, but now, these are no longer important.

After a brief review, Li Xiangping patted Gu Dali on the shoulder: "Brother Gu, it's up to you to make this Chunlan Cup." ”

Losing this game, it is of course impossible to say that Li Xiangping is not depressed at all, but to say that he is particularly sad and sad, to be honest, he is not actually.

It's not that Li Xiangping is big-hearted, but at this juncture, he doesn't have so much time to be sad or sad-------

Five days later, he will immediately need to go to South Korea to compete with Lee Sedol for this year's "Samsung Cup", and soon after the "Samsung Cup" is over, it will be the fifth game of the "Ying's Cup" final.

In professional Go, no, it should be said that in any professional competitive sport, the weight of the semi-finals and the finals is of course always different. The prize money for the winner of the "Ying's Cup" is 400,000 US dollars, and the runner-up is only 100,000 yuan, and the prize money for the champion of the "Samsung Cup" is 250 million won, and the second place is only tens of millions.

Taking this as a standard, in the professional Go world, the gap between the champion prize and the runner-up prize is basically about 3 to 4 times, so with so many finals waiting, Li Xiangping certainly doesn't have so much time to reflect on the game he just lost.

It's just that even Li Xiangping himself didn't expect that his loss this time would have a much greater response from the outside world than he imagined.

Because this is the first time Li Xiangping has lost in the semifinals, and this "Chunlan Cup" is also the first time he has missed a World Series final since Li Xiangping's debut.

Da Li can be regarded as breaking another record, and it is precisely because of this seemingly alternative record that this semi-final has been talked about for a long time.

Especially from Da Li's point of view, he first went from 0 to 2, then to 1 to 2, and finally 2 to 1, everyone looked at it, this is just like that kind of very inspirational dog blood counterattack script, so after someone paid attention to this problem, the Korean media instantly climaxed, and Da Li, who was just thought by them to be "slowly withering", was praised by them again.

The reaction of Chinese chess fans is relatively normal, although everyone also regrets that Li Xiangping lost, but for this last game, most people still think that this chess is a "non-war crime", Li Xiangping is more of a loss in luck, in terms of absolute strength, he still has to win a step ahead of Li Canghao.

The most regrettable thing for Chinese chess fans is actually the topic of "Golden Slam", although in the original calculation of everyone, the championship points decided this season are "Fujitsu Cup", "Samsung Cup", "Yingshi Cup", "Toyota Cup", "LG Cup" These 5 items. The "Chunlan Cup" will not be decided until April next year, so it will be counted by everyone until next season.

Among the five major events that can determine the champion this season, Li Xiangping has won the "Fujitsu Cup", and the other four have also reached the finals.

So theoretically, he still has a chance to win the "Golden Slam" this year.

But in the midst of this, Li Xiangping was mixed with such a loss, which made some of Li Xiangping's fans panic, and he felt an indescribable discomfort.

Especially when the final of the "Samsung Cup" is approaching, when everyone's attention is not attracted by the "Samsung Cup", many Chinese chess fans begin to worry about Lee Sedol.

On the Feiyang Go Forum, several senior chess fans are chatting about the next "Samsung Cup" finals:

Meat fairy: "Alas, I mourned for Xiao Li for 3 minutes today, poor baby, why did he meet our masterful boss at this juncture." ”

The arrogant lone wolf: "Upstairs is sick, what are you mourning for Xiao Li?" I feel that the mastery boss is obviously not in good shape, even Lao Nie said that he has been fighting continuously during this time, and fatigue has caused his state to decline, I really don't know what is wrong with you, and you still mourn for Xiao Li? Isn't it time to worry about the state of worrying about the boss? ”

Meat fairy: "Hehe, I won't say anything about anyone who has a problem, so please come and judge, Ao Wolf, whoever has a big problem and who quits Feiyang, do you dare?" ”

Arrogant lone wolf: "Why don't you dare, come and come and line up one by one, and come to judge." ”

Fengqi Wutong 626: "There is something wrong on the second floor and I don't explain." ”

Hentai Adolf: "There's something wrong with the second floor that doesn't explain. ”

Feng Xiao Tang's Six Flavors Dihuang Pill: "There is something wrong on the second floor, don't explain." ”

“.......”

Arrogant lone wolf: "Why, why do you say that I have a problem?" Give me a reason, so that I can die blindly. ”

Fengqi Wutong 626: "See last year's situation and don't explain. ”

Endless Adolf: "After the boss lost to Da Li last year, he immediately beat Xiao Li in the "LG Cup" final, and then beat Da Li in the "Nongshim Cup", the anger after the boss lost chess, is that what ordinary people can bear. ”

Feng Xiaotang's Six Flavors Rehmannia Pill: "This year's situation is the same, the boss is the first to meet Xiao Li after losing chess, and Xiao Li is not a poor baby." ”

Meat fairy: "Hahaha, how is Ao Wolf?" Are you a conscious person? ”

Arrogant lone wolf: "I said you guys..... Okay, okay, I'll get out, can't I get out......"

Li Xiangping is so busy now, so he really didn't see the chat of these chess fans. It's just that when the "Samsung Cup" final is over, even the arrogant lone wolf himself feels unjust.

2 to 0! Li Xiangping cut Xiao Li under the horse very neatly.

Not only that, the number of hands in these two games is not long, in the first game Li Xiangping held the black, he won the game with 121 hands, and when it was Xiao Li's turn to hold the black in the second game, he insisted longer, but it was not more than 200 hands, Li Xiangping only used 188 hands, and forced Xiao Li to cast his son.

As for the reason why it can win so neatly, of course, it is not because of any "Li Xiangping's anger".

Li Xiangping personally believes that the main reason is that he learned the lesson of losing to Xiao Li last time and made better prevention of his "upgraded zombie flow".

So at the time of this final, Li Xiangping learned from Gu Dali's winning method last time: find the starting point of his "zombie flow" as soon as possible, and then exert force as soon as possible, and then let his upgraded zombie flow into stillbirth.

Fortunately, Li Xiangping did both games of chess in this series, so from the perspective of external performance, it really looks like Li Xiangping "shot with hatred".

This is not the last time the two will face each other this season, the next one will be the final of the "LG Cup", but this match will be held in February next year, which is the last decisive match before the tournament.

Li Xiangping can't take care of this for the time being, because in the future, it will be the final of the "Ying's Cup" soon.

This is a tournament that only comes once every four years, and it is the only remaining tournament in the world chess world that uses five-way chess in the final. And the prize money for the champion of this competition is 400,000 US dollars, which is the highest among all world competitions, so it also has the reputation of "the Olympic Games of Go".

It was the combination of these factors that made Li Xiangping pay more attention to this competition, and in late December, he went to Hangzhou two days ahead of schedule to prepare for a contest with Cui Poison.
