Go Legend

  Chapter 687 Shock record in progress

   At about the same time as the first game, around 5:30 p.m., with 266 hands in the whole game, Lao Shi Banmu won and helped Li Xiangping equalize the score.

   Seeing the tie, Li Xiangping sighed in relief, but also joked with his plug-in after the game:

   "I'm relying on Ding'an brother, did you do it on purpose? What else do you say? Why do I feel that you just want to show off to me, to prove that your chess skills are still better than mine."

   "Hehe, little friend Xiangping is thinking too much. In fact, these two games of chess just verified a chess theory."

   "What, what chess theory?"

"Golden horn and silver edge grass belly, this is honestly not deceiving me, you see, between the external situation and the actual situation, even at the level of you and me, it is still more difficult to control the external situation than to control the actual situation, so this Winning or losing this time doesn't mean much, the trick you choose is more difficult."

   "Ha! Brother Ding'an, I now announce that I will never argue with you again. Anyway, I can't argue with you.

   "Hehe, my reasoning is wrong, I'm just stating a fact."

   "Yes, you convince people with virtue, you guys love to convince people with virtue. Alright brother Ding'an, let's take this game as the beginning of our new record, what do you think?"

   "I don't care, everything is up to you."

"That's fine, let's just decide, sigh~~ 41 consecutive victories, I don't know how long it will take, it's better to lose at the beginning, it will take 23 consecutive victories and then lose, that's really Will vomit blood."

   "So what do you mean, there can be no more waves in the future, right?"

   "Haha, yes, that's what I was thinking of, so I waved it once at the beginning, but unfortunately it's still not strong enough, and I was caught by others this time."

   After the two of them discussed it properly, they quietly prepared for the final tiebreaker. And this final is compared to the present, although some people have commented that Li Xiangping's rotation is a bit strange, he seems to be a little suspicious of letting water.

   However, in any case, the two chess games are decided by a half-eye difference, so on the surface it still looks quite exciting and intense. In particular, the birth of the "new super first-class" makes the next tiebreaker particularly attractive.

   Considering that Li Xiangping had just been defeated by Chen Xiaoqiang before this, is Li Xiangping putting water in the end? Or is there really a state of ups and downs?

   Will he continue his unusual opening in the tiebreaker?

   In addition, as his opponent Zhang Xu, he has just brought a breakthrough to the Japanese Go game, and the second game is not completely without a chance, so can he be a step closer? Bring back the long-lost world champion for Japanese Go?

   The above is what the outside world summed up the tiebreaker after the two sides tied 1-1.

It's a pity that everyone thinks too much, especially the Japanese Go world, which is even more disappointing, because in the decisive game, the two shameless guys sacrificed a combination of swords, and it was Gu Dali who was awarded the first to resist. The unstoppable combination of two swords makes Zhang Xu, who is slightly inferior in strength, even more unable to resist.

   The combination of the two swords in the tiebreaker was dominated by Li Xiangping, and then Lao Shi cooperated by the side, and this kind of play was considered the strongest combination of the two--

Don't look at it as "the combination of two swords", but there is still a difference between the combination of double swords and the combination of double swords. After many trials, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi agreed that regardless of Lao Shi's level is slightly stronger, but want to play The greatest power of the combination of two swords is best to be led by Li Xiangping.

   This is mainly because there are still differences in their chess styles. Lao Shi's skill is definitely deeper, but Li Xiangping's chess is more flexible, and he has more tricks on the chessboard.

In this way, if Li Xiangping is the leader, whenever he thinks of a precise idea, Lao Shi cooperates next to him, which is equivalent to adding a level of insurance to his ghost idea, avoiding miscalculation and omission to the greatest extent. Let the two of them work together to maximize their power.

On the other hand, if it is dominated by Lao Shi - this guy's style is like a heavy tank, it is like an enhanced version of "subway flow", when rumbled on the chessboard, he basically doesn't play any guns, so Li Xiangping When cooperating with him, when Li Xiangping cooperates with him, most of the time there is actually nothing to do, but it is not much different from Lao Shi alone.

  Well, when Li Xiangping was most useful, he would wait until Lao Shi was at a disadvantage and needed to reverse others. At this time, his whimsy was still useful.

   However, in the past year or so, with the in-depth study of dog tricks, Lao Shi's skills have become more and more sophisticated, and there are very few chess players who can push Lao Shi to a disadvantageous position.

   In the tiebreaker, Li Xiangping guessed black again. In the two-hour game in the morning, the two sides played a total of 54 moves————

Although on the surface, the progress of the chess game was uneventful, and Li Xiangping did not show any particularly dazzling means, but all the pieces were in the most suitable positions. During the closing period at noon, Li Xiangping thought that he had taken the lead. machine.

  After the restart of the game in the afternoon, Li Xiangping suddenly exerted his strength. He seized the opponent's inadvertent mistake and started to chase and fight hard, and then in just 30 moves, he established a relatively obvious advantage—

   It is particularly worth mentioning that when Zhang Xugang made that mistake, almost no one in the research room found it. From Japan to China, most spectators thought it was a normal move.

   Only when Li Xiangping began to hold his opponent accountable, and when everyone saw the process behind, did they realize the problem of that move.

   So everyone sighed with emotion, lamenting that Li Xiangping's power is indeed not just casually talking about—

   Indeed, it is said that Go is a game of mistakes, so for human Go, it is very important to be good at discovering the mistakes of the opponent. It is no exaggeration to say that distinguishing the level of professional chess players is one of the most important indicators.

For example, in real history, why is Japan's Go behind? Li Xiangping personally thinks that it is mainly in this place, because if it is better than "realm", Japanese players are really not bad, but they are used to living comfortably for a long time. , which makes most Japanese chess players less sensitive to winning and losing, and once they lose their sensitivity, they will definitely not be able to compete with those young people in China and South Korea who are like wolves like tigers.

   At 3:30 in the afternoon, the game had just passed 90 moves. At this time, everyone could see that the advantage of black was already obvious. Based on Li Xiangping's consistent performance, it should not be a big suspense for him to win the game.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, your uncle is your uncle. Everyone said, isn't the boss of Jueyi a little too unkind. Why do you tease Zhang Xu? First, give people a little hope, and then directly make people fall into despair. Is it necessary to be so cruel?"

"Come on, I think the master of the art is very kind. He at least gave the Japanese Go a surprise first. It's been so many years, let alone the champion of Japanese Go, even this kind of surprise is rare. Don't look at the previous few. God, is it so hot in Japan? Isn't this thanks to Li Xiangping, and the index asked me to say that the boss of Jueyi is still a kind person, everyone said that he is not."

   "Yes, yes, a kind person, the master of the art has decided to be a kind person..."

   Amid the comments from Chinese chess fans, the game came to an end.

   At around 4:20 pm, when Li Xiangping fell to the 157th hand in the overall situation, it is possible to see that the gap is too large, Zhang Xu has no intention of fighting, and he chose to throw the ball at this time to admit defeat.

   This is Li Xiangping's 16th world championship!

   is already two more than Li Changhao.

Of course, Li Xiangping knows that this is not the end. At the awards ceremony that night, some chess fans saw Li Xiangping beat a "scissor hand" through the live broadcast. Everyone thought it was a "victory", only Li Xiangping I know it's not - that means 2 consecutive victories, and now there are 39 games left before Li Canghao's record.

   It is inaccurate to say that it should be 40 discs, because if it is 39 discs, then the record is shared. With Li Xiangping's playful habit, how could he promise such a thing to happen.

Starting from the tiebreaker of this "Toyota Cup" final, Li Xiangping seems to have returned to his heyday. Even in the eyes of the majority of melon eaters, his current state is even better than when he won the "Golden Slam" the year before. Niubi.

  10 days later, in the "LG Cup" quarter-finals, Li Xiangping met South Korean chess player Park Yongxun, and Li Xiangping successfully defeated his opponent.

  It is certainly not news that he wins chess now. The key is that the entire game has only 112 hands, which can force the opponent known as the "Guanzi Death" to fail to play the Guanzi stage, which shows that he is in a good state now.

   Of course, at the end of November, when the "Samsung Cup" semi-finals kicked off, when Li Xiangping met his old rival Da Li again, the previous Da Pu was like an appetizer—

  Because he still hates others for refusing to accept the "Phoenix Ancient City Cup", all these guys once again combined their swords with two mid-table victories.

   It's just a pity that his brilliance this time was covered up by others, because on the other side, Chen Xiaoqiang defeated Xiao Li with a score of 2-1, and entered the World Series final for the first time in his career.

   On the night after the game, when Li Xiangping and Chen Xiaoqiang shook hands, he couldn't help but sigh—

   In fact, he is not surprised that Xiaoqiang can beat Xiaoli. After all, in real history, Chen Xiaoqiang entered the final for the first time earlier than this. He joined Gu Dali in the "LG Cup" final in 2005.

   However, for Li Xiangping, this was the first time he met a player younger than himself in the final, so when Li Xiangping shook hands, he felt that he was no longer young.

   This final will be held at the end of December, and before that, Li Xiangping still has several games, namely the semi-finals of the "LG Cup" and the domestic "Celebrity Battle" Wufan Chess Challenge.

   Among them, the "Celebrity Battle" is in the front, and the "LG Cup" is in the back, and the challenger of the "Celebrity Battle" has already been decided. This time, "Brother Niu" Qiu Jun won the right to challenge.

   But before these games came, Li Xiangping couldn't care so much for the time being, because the "big national player" was about to be broadcast on CCTV, and he really wanted to see what he looked like on TV.
