Go Legend Chapter 400

Chapter 400 The Standard of Rangzi Tactics

After the semi-final of the "Samsung Cup" with Xiao Li, the time can be regarded as the end of 2003. On the way back from South Korea, Lao Nie suddenly said to Li Xiangping:

"Hey Xiangping, in the next period of time, you seem to have a lot of games to play, right?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said: "It's okay, the schedule is not particularly intensive."

After listening to Lao Nie's opening, many accompanying reporters began to twist their fingers to figure out Li Xiangping's next game.

The day of returning to China is November 26th. Two days later, the second stage of this year's "Nongshim Cup" will be rekindled.

It's just that there are only 4 games at this stage. At this time, all the reporters on the scene actually knew that Li Xiangping would definitely not play at this stage.

During the "Nongshim Cup" competition, the domestic "Celebrity Battle" Wufan Chess Challenge will also be held at the same time, with Li Xiangping VS Ma Xiaofei. However, this five-game chess is divided into two stages. The first two games will be played immediately after returning this time, and the next three games will be played in late December, that is, before the "Samsung Cup" final.

Immediately after the first two rounds of the "Celebrity Battle", the "Chunlan Cup" final with Chang Hao will be played three times.

When the "Chunlan Cup" finals are over, Li Xiangping still has the last two rounds of armor to play this year.

After this year's "Weijia" is over, the next is the most important "Samsung Cup" finals and "LG Cup" finals.

In fact, after the "Samsung Cup" finals ended, 2004 had already arrived, and some competitions in the new season were on the stage immediately, such as the domestic "Tianyuan Battle", but until now, Li Xiangping still has not decided whether to participate in these competitions .

In addition, immediately after the "LG Cup" finals, the third stage of the "Nongshim Cup" will be played. At this stage, unless there is a particularly extreme situation, Li Xiangping will definitely need to play.

The above is the main competition that Li Xiangping needs to participate in in the next period of time.

Strictly speaking, these competitions have been played for nearly 3 months, and such a schedule is really not particularly intensive. However, there is no way, who made most of these competitions that Li Xiangping need to participate in are extremely eye-catching heavyweight competitions?

In addition to the two sets of "Weijia", the "Celebrity Battle" challenge, which may be the easiest and least suspenseful among them, also has a gimmick of Ma Xiaofei's 13 consecutive domination.

Can Li Xiangping win the first domestic title? And the first title is to end Ma Xiaofei's 13 consecutive hegemony? This is a big point anyway.

Because of this, now basically even old Nie like him will feel that Li Xiangping will have more games next.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the next few months, all the focus of the world chess world will actually focus on Li Xiangping alone.

It's been a long time since this happened in the world of Go: one player decides how exciting the whole world is.

How is he doing? What can he achieve? Or what kind of height he can reach, it will directly become a new height in the history of Go.

Although he knew that he must have become the focus, at the beginning of this final sprint, Li Xiangping still seemed relatively relaxed. Think about it too, among so many games, the first to play is the "Celebrity Battle" Wufan chess challenge, considering that people and "horse celebrities" have been playing "Happy Go" for so long, it is already Out of the line, then this game is actually the least suspenseful, and the handover of this "celebrity" title is even a bit like going through the motions.

Not only Li Xiangping thinks this way, but also the outside media public opinion thinks this way, not only the media public opinion thinks this way, even Ma Xiaofei, one of the protagonists of the "Celebrity War", also thinks this way himself.

On the second day after Li Xiangping returned to China, the first 2 games of the "Celebrity Battle" started at the Chinese Chess Academy. Facing the reporters in a circle, the "Ma Celebrity" said cheerfully:

"Hehe, the merits are complete, the merits are complete! For the next competition, I can only use this word to describe the title of "celebrity" in the hands of Li Xiangping, so what am I dissatisfied with? It is the most satisfactory result for me, and I think it may be the most satisfactory result not only for me, but also for our entire Chinese Go community."

The origin of the "celebrity" in the Go world, most people are accustomed to think that it comes from Japan. At that time, the first Japanese monk, Beninfang (that is, the monk named Rihai in French), after playing a game with Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga sighed: "It's really a celebrity" and set up a "celebrity chess place" for him. .

Since then, the "Celebrity Chess Club" has become the leading center of Japanese Go, and the word "celebrity" has also changed from an adjective to a noun with a specific meaning, representing the symbol of supreme power and chess power. From the Edo period in Japan to the early Meiji period, celebrities have always been the only 9-dan in the Go world. This system was not broken until the establishment of the Nippon Chess Institute and the establishment of the "Dashouhe" (dan ascending dan), which lasted for about 400 years. .

Now all the "celebrity battles" in the Go world are basically derived from this. Of course, there is nothing to say, but what many people don't know is that the word "celebrity" is really not a foreign word from Japan. Before the Tang Dynasty in my country, there was also the term "celebrity".

Well, in ancient China, the word "celebrity" may be a bit similar to the "talent" that everyone now says. Those who are more powerful in a certain field are called "talents" in modern times, but before the Tang Dynasty in our country , that is called "celebrity", so just from this title, it is also another form of "export to domestic sales".

"I remember that before I entered the stage, yes, it was my first time to participate in the World Championship. After passing the "Samsung Cup" qualifier that year, Mr. Ma gave me selfless guidance. He and Mr. Nie both took care of me. He has guided me for a whole month, so although Mr. Ma and I do not have the name of master and apprentice, we have the reality of master and apprentice, so here I sincerely want to say to Mr. Ma: Thank you, Balabala"

After talking a lot of scenes outside, when Li Xiangping was alone, he said to his plug-in:

"Hehe Ding'an brother, how is it? This competition is irrelevant, and the result should be no suspense. You haven't played the official competition for a few days, why don't you go up to practice this time? Is it a warm-up for the competition in a week?"

"So good."

For Li Xiangping to let him play chess, of course Lao Shi will not refuse, he basically will not refuse at any time. Well, the only one who can stop Lao Shi from playing chess is probably his Xiuqin girl, and even what Xiuqin girl said, Li Xiangping doesn't know if it's true or not.

On the second day, the five-game chess game with Ma Xiaofei officially started. For this game that was full of gimmicks and many topics off the field but was not very competitive, Li Xiangping decided to let his plug-in play.

Of course, letting Lao Shi play this time can't be said to be completely Li Xiangping's bad taste. After all, it has been several months since Lao Shi participated in the official competition last time. Li Xiangping really wants to see it. How is the progress of your own plug-in, which is especially a big point to watch?�

Li Xiangping noticed a few months ago: Although he and Lao Shi are studying and studying dog tricks at the same time, the two people seem to have different focuses, or their respective gains and experiences are different.

I pay more attention to chess theory, and like to understand and recognize dog moves from the perspective of chess theory.

As for Lao Shi, he seems to put more emphasis on the structure of dog moves, especially on the coordination of pieces and pieces, he seems to have more experience.

It is precisely because of this difference that Li Xiangping really wants to see if Lao Shi has made any progress in this regard.

It's a pity that Li Xiangping didn't see anything new in Ma Xiaofei's first two games. Of course, there is nothing to say about the result of the game. In the face of celebrity horses who have already started playing "Happy Go", Li Xiangping feels that he has not exerted much power on the plug-in, and it is very simple to play two games in a row with 2-0.

But, maybe it's because he didn't exert much effort. The two games didn't let Li Xiangping see anything new. He felt that Lao Shi's performance was quite satisfactory, not brilliant, or even had much new ideas.

After the first two rounds of the "Celebrity Battle", the next is the "Chunlan Cup" final with Chang Hao. This final is still held at the headquarters of the Chunlan Company, so after the first two rounds of the "Celebrity Battle", Li Xiang Ping immediately set off with Chang Hao and others to participate in the second World Championship finals in Jiangsu this year.

This competition allowed Li Xiangping to see something new.

In the first game of this trio, Li Xiangping guessed black.

And the first move Lao Shi instructed him to make made Li Xiangping interested.

Even after Lao Shi instructed him to make a move, he couldn't help joking with his cheater:

"Haha, Brother Ding'an, are you sure about this? It's not very good, why do I feel that you are a little swollen now?"

In fact, Lao Shi didn't do anything out of the ordinary. At the beginning of today's game, Shi Daqisheng suddenly gave up his "star position" that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and just asked Li Xiangping to help him with the next "outside the eyes". .

That's right, this game of chess, Shi Daqisheng started with "outside the eyes".

This is a starting move that has never been seen in the dog's chess repertoire.

Not only that, because in ancient chess, due to the existence of "Zooms", it is actually impossible for Lao Shi to play "outside the eyes" in the official match played by Lao Shi.

It's just that in ancient chess, “outside the eyes” can be seen everywhere, especially in handicap chess played by Lao Shi.

Let more than 4 not count, if it is to let 2 or 3,

So to start "outside the eyes", this is almost the standard of the medieval chess handicap tactics.

is precisely because of this, so I can understand why Li Xiangping joked with Lao Shi.

After joking, Li Xiangping cheered up. He wanted to see what his plug-in could show in such a start.
