Go Legend Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Special training for plug-ins

"I've done my best, then I'll ask Cang Hao!"

After saying this, Lao Cao got up. He did not review the game with Li Xiangping, nor did he express any other thoughts on the chess game. After simply saying "I'm sorry", Shi Shiran said goodbye and walked out of the game room. .

Many Korean reporters automatically flashed a path and watched their "Go Emperor" leave.

Looking at Lao Cao's slightly awkward back, I don't know why, but Li Xiangping actually gave birth to a little respect.

You must know that the "post-50s" Lao Cao is only one year younger than Lao Nie. In the "Ying's Cup" battle 14 years ago, it can be said that Lao Cao completely changed the fate of Korean Go. Back then, in South Korea, Go was classified as "acrobatics" by them, which basically had no status. It is rumored that even when Lao Cao was serving in the military, he was humiliated by a lieutenant or a second lieutenant.

However, after the first "Ying's Cup", the status of Go in South Korea has been completely improved. Although it has not been exaggerated to the point of being called "national skill" like Japan, it was only after that that Korean Go became the world Go game. An important pole of the map.

Lao Cao, who is already "knowing the destiny", is still fighting on the front line of professional Go. He not only fights on the front line, but also maintains a very high level and state.

For example, in real history, the classic "catch and release Cao" in the world chess world was staged in the past two years. In the quarter-finals of a certain "Samsung Cup", 7 Chinese chess players surrounded and suppressed Lao Cao, and in the end they watched helplessly. He won the championship.

Therefore, such an old Cao certainly deserves the respect of Li Xiangping. Although he lost to Lao Shi this time, he is still honored.

The loser has left, so next, the winner is naturally surrounded by the crowd. Reporter Hu Da of the "People's Daily" squeezed to Li Xiangping's side:

"Xiang Ping, congratulations on winning the game and making history, reaching all the World Series finals in one season without precedent, can you tell me what you think now?"

Li Xiangping organized a little bit of language: "It was very difficult to win the game. I thought it was impossible at first, but the opponent didn't play carefully enough later, which gave me a chance. It can be said to be a very lucky game. In this game of chess, I have learned a lot from Mr. Cao. I admire Mr. Cao's superb chess skills and tenacious fighting spirit. I really hope that when I reach his age, I can still maintain such a high level."

Li Xiangping suddenly became so "humble and cautious", which surprised many people. After the interview, the rookie reporter who followed Lao Hu asked strangely:

"Mr. Hu, why is this Li Xiangping like this? Is he always so boring? Why are the words he said before the game and the words he said after the game basically the same?"

Undoubtedly, the rookie reporter slapped Lao Hu again: "Idiot, although the words are the same, can they mean the same thing? Before the game, he was determined to win and lose, and he said this after the game. , that is really modest and prudent, tsk tsk, incredible, how old is Li Xiangping now, and at this age, he is so disciplined, no wonder his level is so high."

The rookie reporter was stunned. He couldn't figure it out. Li Xiangping just said a few routines. How could this be related to his high chess? Is the gap between him and Lao Hu really so big?

Ended this trip to South Korea, and the time has come to November 2002. At this time, it can be regarded as the real final season of this season. The 3 finals are lined up, waiting for Li Xiangping to go to battle.

The order of the 3 finals is as follows: The first is the "Toyota Cup" final at the end of November. The competition system is three rounds of chess. The opponent Li Canghao is in Tokyo, Japan.

Then came the final of the "Samsung Cup" which started in late December. The competition system was five chess, and the opponent Ma Xiaofei took place in Shencheng, China.

The final is the "LC Cup" final from the end of January to the beginning of February next year. The current "LG Cup" final is still a five-game chess game. The opponent Li Changhao is in Seoul, South Korea.

In this issue, the civil war with Ma Xiaofei is not a problem, but the "eight games" with Li Canghao has attracted great attention from the world chess world.

Needless to say, these two finals are undoubtedly the pinnacle of the current world chess showdown in the eyes of everyone, a battle for hegemony and a battle for kings.

Although Li Xiangping now has only two championships in hand, it seems that he is completely incomparable with Da Li's more than 10 championships, but considering that one of the championships was won from Da Li, and the two played against each other again, then It also ended with Li Xiangping winning, so in the eyes of the world, Dali's dominance has actually been shaken.

If Li Xiangping can grab two more championships from Da Li, then there is no doubt that this will be Li Xiangping's new king ascending the throne, and everyone will think that the world chess world has officially changed its dynasty.

If Da Li wins two championships, the "Li Changhao Dynasty" will continue. Even the championship that Li Xiangping won before will be considered an accident. Da Li, who is "fear of life", just took a nap. .

In the last case, if the two of them win a championship, then the situation is a bit complicated. Everyone will think that the dominance of Da Li has been loosened, but the "Li Xiangping Dynasty" is not really established. Look at his performance in the next few years.

It is precisely because these two finals seem to have so many highlights, so after entering November, these two games and the two parties have become the center of discussion in the Go community. It goes without saying that various analysis and prediction articles are always indispensable before any major competition. Even the two parties are often asked about the upcoming big collision.

Among them, Li Xiangping is better. After all, after he returned to China, apart from going to the chess academy, the cat was in the school, and he did not participate in other competitions in China except for the armor, so he did not have much time to show his face.

But Lee Chang-ho is different. He is the holder of many titles in Korea, and at the end of this year, it is usually the end of many games, so he has many opportunities to be interviewed. As long as a reporter interviews him, then It must mention the upcoming eight games:

"I've told everyone many times that Li Xiangping is very strong, very strong! Not to mention that I have no confidence in defeating him, I don't even have the confidence to defeat him. Yes, this is what I say in my heart, everyone knows it , his chess is so different, what's more, I played against him twice and unfortunately lost both times, how can I have confidence? The only thing I can tell you now is that although I don't have the confidence to beat him , but there must be no lack of courage to fight against him. In the next game, I will definitely correct my mentality and try my best to deal with him to the end."

On this day at the Chinese Chess Academy, a reporter from "Go World" Zhang Da came to look for Li Xiangping to make a chess review for the "LG Cup" semi-final. After the chess review was finished, reporter Zhang Da mentioned by the way what Li Canghao said recently. After listening to it, Li Xiangping was overjoyed:

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect someone like Li Shifo to say such sensational words."

Reporter Zhang Da deliberately mentioned this without purpose. Seeing that Li Xiangping was in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask, "So Xiangping, what do you think about the next game?"

"Hehe, stop, don't ask, don't ask," Li Xiangping waved his hand to stop him from continuing before Zhang Da could finish speaking:

"Reporter Zhang, didn't I tell you a long time ago that I don't have any ideas about the next game, and I have to say that it's the same as what Da Li said. First, I didn't have the confidence to win him. Second, I didn't win him. I have a good grasp of it, anyway, now I just take it one step at a time, and play it one by one seriously.”

It must be admitted that this is actually what Li Xiangping said in his heart, his true thoughts at this time.

Think that Lao Cao can cause so much trouble to Lao Shi, and then think that in the next eight games, Lao Shi can only play in 4 games, what else can Li Xiangping have too many ideas? Of course he can only take one step at a time now.

It's just that such an answer obviously can't satisfy reporter Zhang Da. However, when he was going to continue to tell Li Xiangping's words, Li Xiangping did a better job, and simply didn't give him a chance:

"Alright, Reporter Zhang Da, you see that today's chess review is also finished. If there is nothing else, then I will leave first."

"Where are you planning to go this Xiangping?"

"Where are you not going, go home," Li Xiangping smiled at reporter Zhang Da:

"Look, it's getting closer and closer to the game, of course I have to go home now to prepare for the battle."

"Prepare for war?"

Reporter Zhang Da got excited again when he heard the word "preparation":

"Xiangping, how are you going to prepare for the battle? And why do you want to go home to prepare for the battle? Can't you prepare for the battle at the chess institute?"

In the face of a series of questions from reporter Zhang Da, Li Xiangping continued to do nothing:

"Hehe, for me, of course I need to prepare for the game at the chess academy, but it's more important to go home and prepare for the game. Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go first."

Telling the truth again, Li Xiangping is actually telling the truth this time. Because for the next round of chess, although Li Xiangping can only take one step and see one step in general, but considering that the "Toyota Cup" is the first to play, and this is still a round of chess, this is exactly the Lao Shi's 4-disk limit is within the limit, so the focus is on ensuring the "Toyota Cup", which is naturally a logical idea.

It's just that from the current situation, even with Lao Shi's strength, he doesn't want to make sure or make sure when facing Da Li. For this reason, Li Xiangping made a plan, that is, in less than a month, he will conduct a round of special training on his own plug-in.

Then the question arises now, considering that Lao Shi's level is already so high, what method can he take for special training?

So naturally, Li Xiangping remembered the chess records played by the dogs in his mind. Judging from the current situation, if he wants to make a breakthrough in Lao Shi's level in a short period of time, the single most helpful Yes, that's only chess from later generations of Go AI.

And this kind of training is obviously not suitable in the Chinese Chess Academy, which is why Li Xiangping said, "It is more important to go home to prepare for the game than to prepare for the game in the Chess Academy."

Today is the first lesson of preparations. Li Xiangping has prepared two games of chess, one is a game between the "second generation dog" and human beings, and the other is a fight between the "second generation dog" and the "third generation dog" In the first round, Li Xiangping wanted to compare the two games to see if there was any inspiration for his cheating.

After returning home, Li Xiangping said to himself:

"Brother Ding'an, are you ready?"

"Ready, little friend Xiangping, let's start now."
