After the first game of the trilogy, the three participating Chinese players gathered together to study the game.

Of course, the civil war of their own people will not spend too much effort to study in detail, and everyone mainly puts Chang Hao in a half-blind chess game to lose to Zhang Xu.

"Hey, now it seems, don't look at me only losing half a eye, in fact, I don't have much chance in the whole game of chess, masterful boss, do you say it's ......"

Li Xiangping smiled: "Then how can you say that there is no chance?" Brother Chang doesn't seem to be very familiar with the change at the beginning, and the loss here is not small, but the pursuit of the middle and back games is really exciting, but it's a pity that the chessboard is a little smaller, it's okay, now the strength of Japanese chess players is generally very weak, as long as Brother Chang exerts the power of this game of chess, then the later start can't always suffer, right? So I'm still optimistic that you will win Zhang Xu. ”

In the face of people and parties, Li Xiangping always has to say something good. However, he is not completely blind to this, the overall context of Chang Hao VS Zhang Xu is like this:

The two of them practiced a large dog move at the beginning, and it was obvious that Chang Hao was obviously more rusty in this dog move that had been announced to the public for less than half a year, resulting in a lot of lag in the opening stage.

Then starting from the middle game, Chang Hao launched a strong pursuit, and once chased into fine chess, but unfortunately the chessboard was too small, and Zhang Xu's official kung fu was also very good, and finally let him hold on to half of the victory.

Kong Erjie next to him smiled and continued: "Hehe, Japanese chess players are weak? We don't dare to say this, and now the only one who is qualified to dare to say this is your master. ”

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "It's not a question of qualifications, I'm telling the truth, okay, if you think it's a bit ugly to say that people are "very weak", then I say that Japanese chess players are generally soft, especially in world competitions, they are playing, and there are often some soft moves inexplicably, I have no objection to saying this, right?" ”

Li Xiangping changed to this statement, of course, no one has any objections, and even Chang Jiuduan, who was a little depressed after losing chess, has no objection now.

What Li Xiangping said is of course the truth, especially since entering the 21st century, and the problem he is saying is simply a stubborn disease of Japanese chess players, and there has been no change in the past few decades.

It's hard to say why, if you have to say one, two, three, four, Li Xiangping roughly thinks that it may be the following reasons:

First, in the heyday of Japanese Go, they were deceived by things like "realm", which led many Japanese players to believe only in this kind of thing that seemed to be full of force, but did not have much use, and under the influence of this concept, the entire Japanese Go environment was relatively despised for combat.

Second: the rhythm of the game is different, the domestic competition in Japan is generally longer, not to mention the "two-day system", even if other one-day competitions, such as "throne battle", "ten-dan battle", "qi holy war" and so on, the final is basically 5 hours per side, and even some "main matches" are 4 hours per side.

The World Series is basically 3 hours per side.

In real history, in the near future, it will soon become mainly two hours to two and a half hours.

It is this completely different pace of the game that makes quite a few Japanese players very uncomfortable, resulting in very poor results in the World Championship.

Three: a vicious circle, the more unsuitable the worse the grades, the worse the grades, the less confidence, the less confidence will naturally lead to worse grades----- in real history, Japanese Go is stuck in the quagmire of this vicious circle and cannot extricate themselves, until Li Xiangping crossed over, they were still struggling there.

No one figured it out, it was a good study of the chess game, but chatting and chatting suddenly crooked, the three of them began to complain about Japanese Go, just when the three of them were complaining happily, Team Leader Hua and Team Leader Ma came over:

"Why are you talking so happily?"

"Hehe, it's nothing," Chang Hao smiled and pointed at Li Xiangping: "We are all listening carefully, how our masterful boss despises Japanese Go." ”

"Fuck off, how can I call this contempt? For the degeneration of Japanese Go, we Chinese Go people are deeply sorry, and people of insight are even more deeply saddened, thinking that if the world chess world lacks the corner of Japanese Go, it will definitely not be so fun, and it is extremely detrimental to the overall development of the Go career, and the three of us, as part of people of insight, are seriously taking the pulse of Japanese Go, trying to find a way to save it......"

After everyone laughed and joked for a while, Ma Xiaofei said to Li Xiangping:

"You just talked about saving, don't really say it, someone came to the door just now, and wanted to use your Li Xiangping's Go ideas to save Japanese Go."

"What? What does it mean? ”

Team Leader Hua explained to Team Leader Ma: "Someone came to the door just now and wanted to publish the "Mysterious Prologue" you made in Japan. ”

"Oh?" Li Xiangping was a little interested: "Really? ”

"It's true." Ma Xiaofei nodded in confirmation, and after confirmation, he continued:

"Even I didn't expect that your Li Xiangping would be so famous in Japan, this book has not been published in China yet, and now a Japanese publishing house has come to the door, and listening to their meaning, it seems that they still attach great importance to this manuscript, they intend to change the title of the book, Xiangping, do you know what title they are going to change?"

"How do I know what name they're going to change?"

"New Layout Revolution, New Layout Revolution in the 21st Century."

Hearing the title of the book, Li Xiangping understood what it meant at that time.

Almost 100 years ago, the epoch-making masterpiece in the history of Go, the "New Layout Revolution", appeared, and now the Japanese want new sake in old bottles, and they are ready to adopt the title, but with a definite phrase added to it, which of course shows that they value the manuscript.

Everyone present actually knew the manuscript of the "Mysterious Prologue", so when they heard Ma Xiaofei mention this stubble, the topic naturally turned to this place.

Team leader Hua smiled: "Hehe, the old "New Layout Revolution" is co-authored by Mr. Wu Qingyuan, Mr. Mu Gu Minoru and Mr. An Yongyi, and your book is also co-authored by three people, which is also a coincidental story. ”

As soon as Team Leader Hua said this, everyone laughed at him for really thinking too much. What era is it? Go books thought of causing a sensation in the whole society? There is no such thing in these years.

Just when everyone said that this was impossible, only Li Xiangping seemed to be there thoughtfully.

"Hey, Xiangping isn't it, are you really fantasizing about the "mysterious prologue" causing a sensation in the whole society? ”

Li Xiangping came back to his senses, and he said with a smile:

"Hehe, how is it possible, I just suddenly remembered that Mr. Wu's version of the "New Layout Revolution" was full of all kinds of controversies, and the Fang Men under Xiuya's door also wrote a special rebuttal book, and the title of the book seems to be "Down with the New Layout", right? ”

Li Xiangping paused and continued: "So I just thought, of course, it is impossible for this set of books to make a sensation in the whole society, but if it is limited to the Go world and causes a small shock in the entire Go world, then there should still be some hope, right?" And the standard that caused the shock, I think it depends on whether there is controversy in the back, if there are also books or articles like "Down with the New Layout" in the back, then our set of books will be considered a great success. ”

"Hahahaha......"

Li Xiangping's words amused everyone, and Team Leader Hua asked with a smile: "Then Xiangping, let me ask you, do you yourself hope that there will be a book like "Down with the Mysterious Prologue"?" ”

Li Xiangping smiled: "To be honest, I am very conflicted, I hope there is, and I hope that there will never be." ”

"Why?"

"If this kind of book really appears, it proves that I have started to lose chess, Mr. Hua, you think, if I win every day, and I win like this until I retire, then how dare others write anything "Down with the mysterious prelude"? ”

The crowd laughed again:

"Haha, yes, yes, yes, it's this reason, it's this reason......"

The conversation didn't go on any longer.

After all, for Li Xiangping, his original intention of making a "mysterious prologue" was to spread the dog tricks, so under this premise, it doesn't matter to him whether this set of books is published in Japan or not.

He didn't care about this fame, and he didn't care about the manuscript fee, so he listened to this kind of thing and knew that there was such a thing, and it was the same thing for him.

After a day of rest, the second game between him and Kong Erjie began.

Kong Erjie is still that problem, although compared with half a year ago, his understanding of dog moves is much more mature, and there are fewer and fewer specious chess, when he is a chess player with a bit of perfectionist tendency, he often thinks too much when playing, and may not even know himself, he will subconsciously desire that the chess he plays is perfect, and when he thinks like this, he will be easy to play specious chess.

Another form of plausible chess.

In the second game of chess, he also lost in this place.

After winning this game, Li Xiangping reached the third World Series final of the season.

It's just that for him, it's far from an easy moment, and even the fierce battle has just begun-------

In the next nearly 20 days: the semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup", the semi-finals of the "LG Cup", and the semi-finals of the "Chunlan Cup" will be lined up, and he and Da Li's alternative nine-game chess will officially debut.

And after that, in addition to the above three competitions, there are already "Ying's Cup" finals, and the "Toyota Cup" finals that have been confirmed today are waiting for him.

Not only did his devilish schedule not ease, but as 2005 approached, it tended to get worse.

On the other side, Chang Hao equalized beautifully in the ninth section, and they had to play the final tiebreaker.

However, after his game, Ma Xiaofei found Li Xiangping:

"Xiangping, let's not wait over there, right? After a brief rest, let's go to South Korea. ”

Li Xiangping replied: "Okay, go to South Korea." ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
