Go Legend Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Why did you win so quickly

On the second day, this year's Samsung Cup qualifiers were the penultimate round. When the game was about to approach, Coach Wu was already standing at the gate of the arena, watching the Chinese players enter the arena one by one.

At this point in the game, as more than 80% of the players have been eliminated, the entire arena has become much quieter, and this silence has added a bit of tension to the entire arena.

Li Xiangping was also preparing to enter the arena at this time. After seeing Coach Wu at the door, he politely said hello:

"Hello Coach Wu!"

Coach Wu patted Li Xiangping on the shoulder affectionately, and was a little strange in his heart while saying "get down":

Strange, didn't they all say that the child's psychological quality is not good, and he is easily nervous at a critical moment? How could he seem so relaxed today? Even the most relaxed looking player of these chess players who passed in front of me? It seems that my previous information was wrong. This child is clearly a good material for playing chess.

It must be admitted that Coach Wu has already acquired a pair of sharp eyes after more than ten years of coaching career. He is not mistaken today. Li Xiangping is indeed very relaxed now. But of course Coach Wu would not know that the reason why Li Xiangping relaxed today has nothing to do with his "psychological quality". It can't even prove that he is a piece of chess material.”

The reason why he relaxes today is just because when he was preparing for the battle yesterday, his "plug-in" clearly told him that this game of chess does not need Li Xiangping to intervene. Well, for today's game of chess, Li Xiangping is actually a bystander. Entering the arena with this mentality, he certainly looks relaxed.

To tell the truth, Li Xiangping is not only relaxed now, he is even a little impatient, can't wait to see what Lao Shi will do. The reason is very simple, because this is the first time Lao Shi has made such a request.

Li Xiangping reviewed it carefully, and said that he has been traveling with a plug-in for a while, and during this time, he has also played a lot of chess with Lao Shi, although the main player who wins every time is Lao Shi. Well, but Li Xiangping noticed a phenomenon: that is, he is really good-tempered as a plug-in. He usually never fights or robs. If you let him go, he will go down. If you don't let him go, he will not go down. It was Li Xiangping who asked him to take over whenever he wanted. He never took the initiative.

It was the first time in Li Xiangping's impression that he actively asked to play a whole game of chess like today. It is precisely because of this first time that Li Xiangping can't wait. He is eager to see how far his plug-in has grown now.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the game officially started. After guessing, Li Xiangping guessed black in this game.

According to Lao Shi's instructions, after Li Xiangping laid down the "Diagonal Star" without hesitation, Li Xiangping was happy. It seems that in a game completely dominated by himself, Shi Daqi still believes in the things he is most familiar with.

"Brother Ding'an, I remember you told me a few days ago that in Da Tie Mu Go, "Diagonal Star" may not be the best opening?"

"Young friend Xiangping needs more words to disturb my thinking."

Li Xiangping was even happier. It seems that he has a temper, and Li Xiangping's face unconsciously showed a smile: "Well, I'll shut up, you can play chess with peace of mind."

Although only Lao Shi could hear what he said, the smile he showed was seen by Coach Wu who was on tour.

Coach Wu felt strange in his heart and said that I know you are relaxed today, but why are you smiling when you play chess? I don't seem to have heard of anyone who can relax to the point of giggling, right?

It is for this reason that Coach Wu glanced at the chessboard more than once. After looking at the first 20 moves, Coach Wu was even more surprised by the rich medieval style of black chess.

Coach Wu took a deep look at Li Xiangping. If I really want to say it, Coach Wu paid attention to "Jueyi" earlier. After all, "Jueyi" could meet Wang Lei and Yu Bin on the Internet at that time. Among them, there were A large part is the credit of Coach Wu.

Although on the Internet, "Exquisite Art" often showed the style of the Middle Ages, but Coach Wu at that time didn't care much because he, like many chess players of this era, believed that the Internet is the Internet, actual combat is actual combat, and online chess and Face-to-face combat is always two different things.

But now

"Does this child really have such a deep research on medieval chess?"

With this thought in mind, made Coach Wu stop, he wanted to see how this game of chess would play out.

It's a pity that Coach Wu was interested in watching the game, but some of them didn't cooperate. The one who didn't cooperate was not Li Xiangping or Lao Shi, but his opponent Jin Chenglong's seventh dan.

The reason for 's non-cooperation is of course very simple. After all, in these days, the play of the medieval style is very rare, especially for a player like Jin Qidan who believes in "floor style", it is even more unlikely that he is familiar with the medieval style.

The consequences of 's unfamiliarity, of course, prompted him to take long exams frequently, and the consequence of his frequent long exams was that in the two-hour game in the morning, he still played less than 40 moves globally.

Compared with modern Go, Medieval Flow is a more open way to play, and if a game of Go is played more openly, it is usually impossible to make a clearer situation judgment before 40 moves. At least after watching the game in the morning, Coach Wu didn't feel anything. He neither thought how good the situation of black was, nor did he think that the situation of black would be worse.

It is for this reason that during the noon break, Coach Wu casually asked Li Xiangping:

"Xiang Ping, how do you feel?"

"Hehe, I don't know, I don't really feel anything."

It must be believed that what Li Xiangping said is actually the truth, because in the morning, Shi Daqisheng kept him from talking, so of course he didn't feel anything at this time.

However, his answer made Coach Wu stunned for a while. He said in his heart that I am a bystander who doesn't feel anything. As a player, how can you not feel anything? So Coach Wu misunderstood Li Xiangping again. He thought that the reason why Li Xiangping said this must be because he thought he was in a good situation, so he said "humbly" and said "no feeling".

So Coach Wu smiled and patted Li Xiangping on the shoulder to encourage:

"Okay, just have confidence, then let's continue to work hard in the afternoon and try to win this game of chess."

It must be admitted that this shoulder of Coach Wu actually made Li Xiangping a little inexplicable.

It's just that Li Xiangping didn't have much time to be inexplicable, because after a short break, the game in the afternoon started immediately.

In the afternoon, Coach Wu wanted to watch Li Xiangping's game more, but unfortunately he didn't have time to do so. After all, there are 14 Chinese players on the field today, so there are so many games to watch. , Coach Wu can't just watch a game of chess.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Coach Wu walked around the arena, and he came to Li Xiangping again.

However, he is not watching Li Xiangping's game now, but is paying attention to the table next to him. Respectfully, the highlight of the group, the winner of this game is the most likely to take away the qualifying places in Group F.

And this game of chess is, of course, Chinese chess player Luo Xihe 8 dan VS Japanese veteran super-class Kobayashi Kobayashi 19 dan.

Well, the progress of this game is much faster than that of Li Xiangping, and from the point of view of the chess played by both sides, it seems that it is not as open as that game, so it is relatively easy to judge the situation in this chess game.

Coach Wu stood between the two chess games, and he began to judge the situation of Luo Xihe's chess game.

After judging once, Coach Wu frowned slightly. After judging twice, Coach Wu's expression became serious.

Waiting until Coach Wu didn't give up, and after he made the third situation judgment again, he let out a sigh in his heart.

When Coach Wu just finished sighing, he was about to come back to see Li Xiangping's game of chess, but he found that he no longer needed to watch it. At the very least, it seemed that there was no need to judge the situation.

Because at this moment, Coach Wu noticed that the face of Korea's Jin Qidan seemed to be a little ugly, and he seemed a little unwilling.

Yes, the chessboard is indeed relatively empty at this time, so empty that there are not 100 pieces.

There are a total of 92 hands in the overall situation. Li Xiangping does not. Shi Daqisheng defeated Jin Chenglong in the middle game and entered the final round of this Samsung Cup qualifier.

"What happened? Why did you win so quickly?"

Coach Wu came up immediately
