Go Legend Chapter 493

Chapter 493 Those who learn from me live like me and die

The schedule of the CCTV Cup is quite compact. From the first round, it has been inserted to the end at the rhythm of one set a day, without any gaps in between.

To tell the truth, the intensity of such a competition is actually a bit big, and it is very important to test the physical strength and willpower of professional chess players in the school.

For example, in real history, after entering the new century, many young Chinese chess players first preached in this competition. This compact schedule is an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Of course, now Li Xiangping no longer needs to preach in this kind of competition, and he doesn't even care about this kind of intensive competition schedule—he is 18 years old, isn't he?

And compared to the dude who was about to be emptied by wine in his previous life, Li Xiangping can be said to be "in full bloom" now, and he is full of vitality.

Therefore, the first reason why this competition attracts him is that there is also the "Asian Cup" after it. From the beginning of the "CCTV Cup", it was stipulated that the champion and runner-up of this competition will be eligible to represent China in the "Asian Cup" ".

Important: It's also the only way to get to the "Asian Cup", unlike some other World Series where you win this event and you automatically become a national seed in another.

Well, in fact, among all international competitions, the "Asian Cup" is relatively low-level, and the championship with the highest prize money seems to be only about 4.5 million yen.

That's not to say that it is compared with the seven traditional Japanese news chess battles, even if it is compared with the few fast chess battles in Japan, it is not enough to watch.

For example, Japan's "NHK" TV quick chess battle, which is actually the "Asian Cup" in Japan's trials, but the NHK Cup quick chess championship prize money is as high as 10 million yen.

The prize money for this Nima trials is higher than the main prize money, which makes people feel a little funny. However, this is also caused by the particularity of professional Go.

Professional Go is currently only developed in East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea. Today, the economic development of the three countries is still very different. Although the Japanese economy has been declining for a long time, it is completely incomparable with the peak period in 1993, but After all, it is still the second largest in the world. This year's economic volume is still more than double that of our country. It is precisely because of this difference that their domestic selection competition prize money is higher than that of the world competition.

The second reason for Li Xiangping to participate, the key word is of course "quick chess".

In fact, to be strictly speaking, since Li Xiangping officially became a professional chess player, he has not played any real quick chess game.

Although he has already participated in the "Nongshim Cup" twice, to be honest, the "Nongshim Cup" has a fixed thinking time of one hour, so it is not really fast in the traditional sense, and can only be called "quasi-quasi". Quick Chess".

Only like today's CCTV Cup and "Asian Cup", it starts to count the seconds for you from the first move, and then each move must be moved within one minute. This is the real pure fast move.

Obviously, with a game like this, of course Li Xiangping wanted to exercise more.

After all, in Shi Daqi's time, they didn't even have the concept of "counting seconds" at all.

Although this guy has practiced a lot on the Internet after he passed through, any senior chess fan knows that: playing chess online and playing face-to-face in an official game are two completely different feelings. , so even in order to make Lao Shi look for this feeling, Li Xiangping thinks it is necessary to participate in this competition.

Of course, Lao Shi was happy when there was a game. He happily agreed, but Li Xiangping didn't plan to let him play alone after so many chess games.

After all, Lao Shi only has a quota of 5 games left. Putting these quotas on a fast chess game, let alone Li Xiangping, is reluctant, I am afraid that even Lao Shi himself is not willing.

On the 3rd day after returning from Shencheng, the CCTV Cup "this game" officially started. In the first round, considering things like "good start", Li Xiangping did not let Lao Shi play.

After the first round passed the level easily, in the second round, Lao Shi himself was unwilling.”

It's not because of anything else, because Lao Shi dislikes the opponent's strength in this round too weak, this is a local chess player who ranks in the 80s, so Li Xiangping has no choice, he has to take action again.

This round of competition was still calm, and Li Xiangping won the opponent relatively smoothly.

After two rounds of competition, Li Xiangping actually entered the quarterfinals of this competition, and when he saw his opponent in the third round, Li Xiangping laughed at that time: Chen Yaoyue fourth dan.

This is the only younger brother in the Go world that Li Xiangping has temporarily accepted since he passed through.

"Hehe Ding'an brother, how is this opponent?"

"Yes, yes, I will play in this round"

On the second day, the competition between Lao Shi and Chen Xiaoqiang officially started. Because it was only used as a "human-shaped mover", Li Xiangping also had time to lose his mind during the competition:

"Well, in real history, Chen Xiaoqiang seems to have made great strides in just one or two years. In real history, next year he will be able to defeat Da Li and enter the finals of the World Series, although he lost to Gu Dali was the runner-up, but he was officially promoted to the first-class chess player, and now I don't know if he can cause trouble for Lao Shi now”

It's a pity that Li Xiangping was a little disappointed by the result of the game. With Shi Daqi's stable performance, Chen Yaoyue didn't have a decent chance in the whole game. He almost lost in a "euthanasia" mode.

Well, if it's someone else, it's fine, but who made Chen Xiaoqiang a younger brother? It's rare to meet a player younger than himself in the game, so after a simple technical review, Li Xiangping couldn't help but pretend:

"I said Yaoyue, can't you go on like this?"

Chen Xiaoqiang stared at a pair of innocent eyes: "Old, boss, what's the matter?"

After seeing that innocent look, Li Xiangping turned into a philosopher at that time:

"Haven't you heard that sentence? It's called learning from me, life, like me, death, Yaoyue, Yaoyue, what about your own characteristics? What about your own strengths? I remember cutting me in the fixed stage competition that year. When I was young, you were pretty good at lying on the ground. You can combine your own characteristics with the way you are playing today. After me?"

After pretending to be coercive, Li Xiangping felt a sense of peace all over, but he thought about it later, as a former fan of Chen Xiaoqiang, he really didn't just pretend to be coercive. Will it become the leopard head in the eyes of the majority of chess fans?

When he came to Chen Xiaoqiang's level, Li Xiangping said that he had entered the semi-finals, but his opponent in the semifinals was Wang Xi, the eighth dan of the "little tiger generation".

Well, this is also a fast chess master. He also won the "Asian Cup" championship in his previous life, and with this championship, he finally stood out from the many "Wang Badan" in the Chinese chess world and became a rare "Wang Badan". One of the Nine Sections.

It's just that when Li Xiangping was about to let Lao Shi play against him, Lao Shi was unwilling again, because he disliked the immature chess skills of others and didn't want to waste a match.

Well, I have to tell the truth. When Li Xiangping heard this, he felt a little sad at the time. He thought to himself why this plug-in is so different. Other people's plug-ins are very talkative, especially some seniors who have passed through. The plug-in, it is more like a slave-like existence.

But it's good to be here. After a few years of being together, I dare to make conditions with myself as a plug-in.

But there is no way, it's all for this sake, Li Xiangping has no way to use his own plug-in at all, and he can only do it himself if he doesn't want to.

It's okay, after passing Wang Xi's 8th dan, and when Lao Shi excitedly suggested that he wanted to play the last game of chess, Li Xiangping decisively refused to give him face, so he simply rejected him at that time.

There is no other reason, because the opponent in this final is Kong Erjie seventh dan, who is the best player in the "Asian Cup" among all Chinese players in the previous life. He once created the "Asian Cup" three consecutive championships. It is only second to Mr. Takeshi Masaki's four consecutive championships.

Considering that since he has reached the finals, he has already secured his qualifications for the "Asian Cup", so for such a game of chess, Li Xiangping certainly wants to try his fast chess skills.

The final was held in the studio hall of the Imperial Palace. There were not many twists and turns in this game. In less than 2 hours, when Li Xiangping fell to the 247th hand of the overall situation, Xiaomei was not in the mood to continue.

He smiled wryly and raised his head: "It's still the master of the art."

With his words, Li Xiangping won the "CCTV Cup" championship in 2004 and won his second domestic chess trophy.

It's just a little pity that, although Li Xiangping won the cup, he didn't test out how good his fast chess was.

The problem is not Li Xiangping himself, but his opponent.

Because the feeling of playing this game of chess today is very similar to the feeling of watching Kong Erjie VS Song Taikun when he was in the "Fujitsu Cup" some time ago.

Li Xiangping's feeling is extremely strong: Now Kong Erjie is trying to learn dog tricks, and he really wants to incorporate the idea of dog tricks into his Go.

It's a pity that he is "the most professional professional chess player".

A professional chess player like him must be able to "break and stand up".

It's a pity that he is still in the "broken" stage. Since the "broken" has not been broken, then of course there is no "standing".

And this is actually the main reason, or even the only reason, for his loss today.

Kong Erjie is of course still young now, so although Li Xiangping still doesn't know when he will be "broken", he is also clear in his heart:

When Kong Erjie also started to "stand", he would definitely be a formidable rival. Maybe he will see an upgraded version of Kong Er.

The CCTV Cup is over, and the next focus is the "Toyota Cup".

Before he was ready to leave for Japan again, the local tyrant Li rarely found him:

"Xiangping, when you go to Japan this time, you'd better remember to bring back some gifts for your sister."

"What?"

"Manyue, you're about to serve Beibei with Manmoon wine, so why don't you show it as a big brother?"

Li Xiangping laughs: "Haha definitely"
