Go Legend Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Safety First

The current "Ying's Cup" is still a fixed time of 3 and a half hours per party, and there is no countdown. Once the fixed time is used up, the "delayed penalty point" rule will be implemented (that is, commonly known as "spending money to buy time", It can be bought for half an hour for 2 chess).

It's just that the "Ying's Cup" also stipulates that there is also a limit to this "spending money to buy time", and one person can only buy a maximum of 3 times.

In other words, when playing the "Ying's Cup", a player can only use up to 5 hours. Once this number is exceeded, it will not be a matter of continuing "penalty points", but will directly determine the timeout. Negative.

In this way, if there is a more extreme situation, the total time for the next game of the "Ying's Cup" may be close to 10 hours.

In addition, the "Ying's Cup" also has a one-hour lunch break, so this competition starts a little earlier than other international competitions, usually starting at 9 am.

On the day of the first game, Li Xiangping arrived at the arena at about 8:45. Well, young man, he recovered very quickly. Yesterday, he was still haggard with a pair of panda eyes and ran to draw lots, but after a night of rest, he is now full of blood and resurrected, and he appeared in front of everyone in high spirits.

After all, it is the first international game of the new season, so when Li Xiangping appeared, reporter Zhang Da and Lao Xie who were waiting on the field still rushed up to conduct a routine and brief interview with Li Xiangping.

"Hehehehe, Yamashita Jiuduan is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Heisei after all. His strength is very strong, um, very strong, so the previous record can't be counted, can't be counted"

"Haha, don't dare, if you can show your face in this kind of competition, then there must be no mediocrity, so how dare you say that you will win? I can only say that I am confident but not sure, right, right, confident. But not sure."

After saying such unnutritious remarks, Li Xiangping became a little impatient. He excused that the game was about to start, then got rid of the reporters, and found his own seat and sat down.

"Little friend Xiangping, today is a bit strange."

"Huh? How strange."

"When I played in the past, you always gave me a detailed analysis of the opponent's characteristics. Why didn't you do this work this time?"

Li Xiangping was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly: "Haha, this, this, that, brother Ding'an, let me tell you now, the biggest feature of this opponent is that he has no features."

"No features?"

"Okay Ding'an brother, I'll tell you the truth now, because I can't tell you about the characteristics of this person. In general, I feel that this person's talent is average. The Jingshan Yuta I told you about, and from his later chess records, I think this person may lack strength, because he is always beaten by that Jingshan trick. So I personally think that we are here Fan's opponent is a typical example of fame exceeding strength."

must tell the truth, the above is really Li Xiangping's sincere words, and his perception of the 9th dan under the mountain is indeed the same.

Actually, for this former one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Heisei", Li Xiangping is really not impressed with his chess style characteristics, but he has been impressed by the two anecdotes that happened to him.

The first rule: There was a period of time when the "Samsung Cup" liked to play some new tricks in the competition system. At that time, it was just launched to let players choose their own opponents.

During that time, Yamashita Keigo happened to be the reigning "chess master" in Japan, but in the "Samsung Cup", he was actually picked out by others twice.

After seeing such a result, Li Xiangping remembered that the media at the time were full of emotion, saying that the Japanese game of Go had been reduced to such a level that the dignified "chess saint" was even regarded as a soft persimmon.

At the very beginning, Li Xiangping also thought the same way, but if he thought about it, he realized that the real situation was not necessarily like this. Those chess players who chose him did not necessarily think that he was the weakest.

Think from the perspective of the picker: facing the players in the front row, who should you pick?

Pick an absolute powerhouse like Xiao Li Gu Dali? No, in this way, there is a high probability that you will go up and die.

So pick an obvious weak chicken? No, if you do this, you will lose face too much, and you will definitely be reprimanded as having no manners afterwards.

Just when the picker was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw Mr. Yamashita Keigo in the crowd, which immediately made his eyes light up:

Well, this guy is good. First of all, this guy is famous enough and a dignified Japanese chess master. So you don't have to worry about losing face when you choose him. Secondly, this guy is actually average in strength. If I say it, I can totally compete with him. That's fine. It's him now

You can comment on the rationale, is such an analysis reasonable?

The second anecdote about Mr. Yamashita: It was a world competition a few years later, and Li Xiangping forgot whether it was the first "Bailing Cup" or the first "Dream Lily Cup".

Not only that, Li Xiangping even forgot who Mr. Yamashita's opponent was that time. He only remembered that he was a domestic backbone, and he was still a relatively weak backbone, ranking 30 to 50 in the country. The kind that works hard to surround the seat.

In the first round of the World Series, there may be a problem with the arrangement of the event, or the domestic backbone has some problems. It is said that the flight was delayed due to the weather problem, and he did not arrive at the stadium on time after the start of the game.

Under normal circumstances, of course, according to the practice, it is necessary to judge a loss, but who told the world competition that the Chinese held that time, so the organizer at that time quickly communicated with Yamashita, hoping that he would be accommodating, saying that his opponent was rushing On the way to the arena.

Well, it should be Mr. Yamashita who is still very personable. He agreed to the organizer's request and agreed to wait a little longer.

After more than two hours, the Chinese chess player finally arrived, and the game was able to proceed.

However, although the game can be carried out, the rules that should be there must still be implemented. The more than 2 hours of wasted time must be counted on the Chinese chess player.

And everyone knows that in that era, the time for the World Go game was shortened, and the normal fixed time was only two and a half hours.

In other words, when the Chinese chess player arrived, he was almost in the countdown from the beginning.

But in such a situation, the domestic backbone went three and five to two, and he quickly won Yamashita Keigo.

After the game, many domestic media reported on the game.

It must be admitted that the domestic media that report on Go are relatively qualified, at least they are a bit prudent. Therefore, everyone's reports do not focus on the results of this game, but all praise Yamashita's demeanor. .

It's a pity to meet someone like Li Xiangping with a darker psychology, but he was embarrassed to see the full screen.

How to describe ? It's like when we see a beautiful woman with a very average appearance, we will praise her as "good temperament", and when we meet a star who doesn't have much talent and no ability, we will say "he has actually worked very hard."

Everyone tastes, everyone can carefully taste:

For a professional chess player, people say he is "very graceful" without commenting on his level?

Does this mean the same thing as the previous two examples?

"Please advise!"

While Li Xiangping was still thinking about it, he didn't notice that Shanxia Jiudan had already sat opposite him, and he saluted himself respectfully.

Li Xiangping looked at the time, but found that it was already 8:58, so he stopped talking nonsense and immediately started guessing under the auspices of the referee.

Since today is the first round, Li Xiangping did not enjoy special treatment for this game, and it was held in the same hall of Kunlun Hotel as the other 6 games. The only difference is that Kong Erjie VS Xiao Li is the winner.

Of course, now Li Xiangping is also said to be the most popular fried chicken, so his game is still different from the other 6 games.

The biggest difference is reflected in the notation staff. It is said that the children in the national youth team are all rushing to memorize the chess score of this game, and today the two who grabbed the positions are Chen Xiaoqiang, and the other is Chen Xiaoqiang. This is a classmate of Zhou Xiaoyang, so from the perspective of a notator, this is of course a very luxurious top-level configuration.

Guess Xian ended quickly, this time Yamashita Gudan guessed correctly, and he chose white as expected.

At 9:00 am, the game officially started. Lao Shi hardly hesitated, he instructed Li Xiangping to make the first move to the "star position" in the upper right corner.

Hearing this instruction, Li Xiangping immediately felt relieved, and he joked with himself while making a move:

"Hey Ding'an brother, you and I had such a wave a few days ago, why? Are you not going to wave today?"

Today's Shi Daqisheng is also very interesting: "Hey little friend Xiangping, this is an official game, then as you said, safety first, safety first"

"Ha ha ha ha"

With this laughter from the bottom of his heart, Li Xiangping completely relaxed. For the next period of time, he used this completely relaxed mood and the mentality of a completely bystander to appreciate the battle between Lao Shi and Yamashita.

This relaxed state of mind continued until about 10:30 in the morning, when there were more than 40 moves on the board.

That's right, Li Xiangping was really relaxed during this time.

Because now he is not what he used to be. Compared with a few years ago, he not only has made substantial progress in chess, but also has a higher tacit understanding with his own plug-in.”

For example, in the first few dozen moves in the opening, not only did Lao Shi's every move hardly exceed his expectations, but when the chess game progressed to the present, Li Xiangping was quite satisfied with the situation of black chess.

In this case, Li Xiangping will of course be very relaxed.

It's a pity that the comfortable days are not destined to last long. At around 10:35 in the morning, Yamashita Keigo just made a move, which is the 42nd move of the overall situation.

There is not much to say about this move. It is not surprising that it is not a good move, and it is completely expected by Li Xiangping, so this move is not the point.

The real focus is in the back:

"Xiangping little friend, now please settle down somewhere"

Li Xiangping hesitated, he was not as relaxed as before, and he didn't even follow Lao Shi's instructions immediately. Because the move Lao Shi prepared was far beyond Li Xiangping's expectations.
