Go Legend Chapter 540

Chapter 540 is the new standard of super-class Chapter 550

ended the "Toyota Cup" quarter-finals, and Li Xiangping returned to China the next day with the army.

The day after returning to China, Li Xiangping came to the Chinese Chess Academy and was going to find Zhang Wendong, the director of the competition department, 9 dan.

The office of the competition department is on the first floor, next to the referee department. As soon as Li Xiangping walked to the door, he heard the loud voice of the referee department Lao Jin:

"Oh, it's changed. Since the appearance of Li Xiangping, he has changed all the judging standards in the Go world."

Zhang Jiuduan's voice came: "Why did it change?"

"It hasn't changed," Lao Jin continued to talk in it:

"In the past, we used to divide chess players into super-first-class players, first-class players, and ordinary players, etc., and so on, but after Li Xiangping, this standard is obviously inappropriate, so some changes are needed. Xiao Zhang, don't you think so?"

Zhang Wendong's ninth paragraph said very cooperatively: "Then how should it be changed?"

"In today's world of chess, I think Li Xiangping is already the only one, you should be fine with that, right?"

Zhang Jiuduan didn't hesitate, he immediately agreed: "Not bad, Xiang Ping is indeed the only one now, don't look at his champion is a few less than Da Li, but how can Da Li be as stable as him? 10 points He won 8 championships in the finals, and he never missed before the semi-finals of the World Championship. Such dominance is terrifying. In fact, he has not found such a player in the entire history of Go, so he is the only one that lives up to its name, without any question."

"Yes, you also agree that he is the only one, okay, since there is a unique one, then the criteria for judging super-first-class will definitely have to make some changes in the future, for example, behind Li Xiangping. , which players can move to the second position?"

Zhang Jiuduan once again said very cooperatively: "It seems to be true, hehe Lao Jin, then how do you say it is drawn?"

Lao Jin said proudly: "This standard was not obvious before, but this year, a new standard seems to be coming out."

"Oh, what new standard?"

Lao Jin said: "The new standard is of course Li Xiangping, Xiao Zhang, look at this year, he has only lost 3 games in total. Even with the previous Da Li, he has only lost to 4 people in the past year. , so now some people say that maybe from now on, this will become a new standard. In the future, as long as you can win Li Xiangping, you don't mean to completely defeat him. As long as you can win a game in his hands, you can be called For the new super class”

Li Xiangping listened to Zhile outside the door, and at the same time secretly despised the old Jin. Cong Garden

Even Li Xiangping has seen it himself, and now there are chess fans discussing similar topics on the Internet, and as a "participant", Li Xiangping himself has a more detailed understanding. He knows that the discussion of chess fans is not limited to "new". "Super-class", what else is there to be a "super-class candidate."

According to the Internet, at this stage, apart from Li Xiangping, there are only 4 chess players who are qualified to be called super first-class players. These 4 players are the players who have won Li Xiangping in the past year: Li Canghao , Gu Dali, Li Shishi, Chang Hao. Whether or not a new super-class can be born after this depends on whether he can beat Li Xiangping, even if he can win a game, he is eligible for promotion.

The chess fans also followed this line of thinking and put forward some "super-class waitlist" lists, and in this list, the chess fans chose Zhang Xu as the young master who ranked first.

The reason why he was chosen is that the majority of chess fans, especially some senior chess fans of the technical stream, think that Zhang Xu has only played against Li Xiangping twice, and he lost both games, but the first game a few years ago , Li Xiangping fought hard most of the time, and fell behind for a long time.

In the recent "Asian Cup" final, Zhang Xu actually competed with Li Xiangping for most of the game in quick chess. Li Xiangping finally needed to rely on a good move at the "Master of the Year" level to win the game.

It is because of this performance that many chess fans are optimistic about Zhang Xu, thinking that he is the next most promising chess player to defeat Li Xiangping before Korea Dapu and Kong Erjie.

Chess fans have actually seen these discussions on Li Xiangping, but he didn't pay much attention to it himself.

Because in his own opinion, such arrangement has obvious flaws, the most obvious one of which is:

How do you rank those seniors?

In addition to the above, Li Xiangping thinks that it is a bit too exaggerated to use only one game of chess as the judging standard.

The most obvious example is the last game where he lost to Chang Jiuduan. Li Xiangping knew very well about that game: it was a three-game chess game, and it was a civil war between Chinese players, so there was still room to win the first game. Under the circumstances, he only tried Li Shishi's play and lost.

It's a pity that he knew it in his own heart, but the majority of chess fans didn't know it. Everyone only saw Li Xiangping losing chess, so they put Chang Hao in.

Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't have any opinion on Chang Hao's ninth dan, and even from a certain point of view, if Chang Hao won that game, he would still be able to maintain his spirits, maintain his enthusiasm for Go, and then continue to play in the game. Searching on the chess path is a real good thing, and it is also what Li Xiangping likes to see. He just thinks that this arrangement has obvious defects.

It was precisely because he felt that this arrangement was flawed, so Li Xiangping did not want to listen to it at the door. He pushed the door directly and entered:

"Mr. Zhang, hehe, let me tell you something." After saying this, he pretended to see Lao Jin:

"Hey! Teacher Jin is here too"

The two of them had no doubt about him, especially Lao Jin, who laughed even more when he saw Li Xiangping:

"Hehe, it turned out to be Xiang Ping. It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. You haven't been to the chess academy for a while, by the way. You said you have something to do with Wendong"

If there is business, of course business comes first, so Lao Jin didn't greet him too much, so he asked Li Xiangping to talk about business first.

Li Xiangping's business is very simple, and he can say it clearly in one sentence, so after he finished speaking, Zhang Wendong said:

"Hey, Ahan Tongshan Cup?, Xiangping, you said you want to sign up for this year's Ahan Tongshan Cup?, why did you suddenly think of participating in this competition, and why did you say it now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, I forgot about this some time ago"

Li Xiangping has nothing to hide. He went to Japan to compete a few months ago. After contacting Yukali Umezawa, Ms. Naoko Wada of Japan's Ahanzong gave his sister a gift, and then he said a "snail nunnery agreement".

Li Xiangping told the two in front of the whole thing.

Lao Jin has been listening happily, but after Zhang Jiuduan finished listening, he showed a little embarrassment.

This embarrassment was captured by Li Xiangping, so he asked:

"Why, Mr. Zhang, I'm registering now, is there any problem?"

The honest Zhang Wendong smiled and said: "The problem is indeed a bit of a problem, but it's not your problem, it's my problem here. It's because I, the director of the competition department, made a little work error, so Xiang Ping, I want to tell you. sorry in advance"

Next, Zhang Jiuduan explained his "work mistakes":

"Ahan Kiriyama Cup" is an open competition system that is open to all professional chess players. As long as you sign up, you can participate, but this competition also has seeded players, and the top 16 domestic chess players directly enter the "game" , Isn't this because Li Xiangping basically doesn't participate in domestic competitions, this time he didn't say it in advance, so when the competition department was arranging the seed players, this time they directly ignored Li Xiangping, and they ranked from 2nd to 1st 17 bits.

It's just a small mistake. After all, the registration has not yet ended. If Li Xiangping wants to participate, he will directly replace one. The more troublesome thing is the schedule arrangement and the selection of the competition location. Now Li Xiangping suddenly proposed to participate, which is likely to cause a series of chain reaction.

It's the same reason, because the competition department had directly ignored Li Xiangping before, so they did not consider Li Xiangping's participation in the schedule of the "Ahan Tongshan Cup". Conflict with Li Xiangping's own schedule.

It will soon be October, which is the most critical juncture of the whole season. It doesn't matter if it is replaced by other chess players. After most of the chess players are over, the number of games begins to decrease, even the top part of the country. , In fact, it only takes a little statistics to find out: if you can participate in 10 international games a year, only the national team chess players can do it.

If he can reach 15 international games in a year, there is nothing to say, the player must be very high level and in good shape at the time.

Li Xiangping's "uniqueness" is also reflected here: as a professional chess player for 4 years, except for the first year, the number of international games he played in each of the next 3 years has never been less than 20, and at most, Can exceed 30 discs.

Most of the heavyweight international competitions throughout the season, of course, are mainly concentrated after October. For example, in the next few months, the Samsung Cup, LG Cup, Toyota Cup, Yingshi Cup and Nongshim Cup will be intensively fought until the final champion is determined.

Not only that, in addition to international competitions, Li Xiangping is now a Chinese Go "celebrity", and there will be at least one "celebrity" Wufan chess challenge next.

Needless to say, Li Xiangping suddenly proposed to add an "Ahan Tongshan Cup", which of course made Zhang Jiuduan feel embarrassed.

Seeing Zhang Jiuduan's embarrassment, Li Xiangping actually blamed himself a bit. He blamed himself for not telling the competition department earlier, otherwise the current situation would not have happened.

However, Zhang Wendong didn't feel embarrassed for a long time. He quickly said to Li Xiangping:

"Hush Xiangping, don't worry, since you have come to sign up, then I will definitely guarantee you to participate, not only to ensure that you participate in the Ahan Tongshan Cup, but also not to affect your other competitions. Make a long squeak and coordinate your schedule"

Seeing people worrying about his own affairs, Li Xiangping has always been cheeky, and he was a little embarrassed at this time.

Sorry, he was no longer in the mood to chat with Lao Jin, and after a few simple chats, he politely resigned and walked to the second floor of the chess house habitually.

While walking, Li Xiangping thought, it seems that he has participated in a lot of competitions. If there are more competitions, it may not only cause some trouble to others like today, but in fact, from the perspective of "dogfighting", this There are too many human beings in the game, and it is of little significance to improve the level.

"Well, it seems that it is time to consider reducing the number of games. If there is time, it is better to study more advanced dog tricks with Lao Shi."

It's a pity that he just thought about it, it really doesn't have much operation. After all, nowadays, it is of course impossible for him to give up the World Championship, and Li Xiangping will not even think about it.

International competitions are not good, it seems that it can only be domestic competitions, but nowadays, there are not many domestic competitions he participates in.

A "Celebrity Battle", it is impossible for him to voluntarily give up the title and not participate in the competition.

A "Ahan Kiriyama Cup", which he offered to participate in order to pay back his favor.

In addition, there is another armor. Not to mention the friendship between the old man and Lao Cai, the team only has a few guns.

"I think about it now, it seems that only the CCTV Cup can be given up. Anyway, I have already won the 'Asian Cup', and I can play as the defending champion next year. However, the number of sets in the CCTV Cup is not many, and this kind of short-term competition, said To be honest, the impact on training is really small, if you can cut a few sets of armor games”

In the midst of such wild thoughts, he had already set foot on the second floor of the chess academy, but found that the largest training room on the second floor was very lively today, as if there was a game going on.

Just as Coach Wu came out, Li Xiangping hurriedly asked:

"Hey, Coach Wu, what game is today?"

"A game that has nothing to do with you," Coach Wu said with a smile:

"You haven't participated in the annual trials of the national youth team, so it's no wonder you don't know."

"Ha ha."

After laughing with Coach Wu for a while, Li Xiangping said goodbye to him when he saw that he was busy with something, and strolled into the largest training room by himself.

Li Xiangping just walked in when he saw a bearded man at a glance.

A child with a beard.

Li Xiangping laughed at that time, because this child with a beard was affectionately called 'Old Man' by chess fans in later generations, and at this moment, Li Xiangping seemed to find a substitute for himself, a player in the armor. 's substitute.

Li Xiangping was still calm at this time, not because he didn't know 'Old Man', but because he didn't know his current basic situation, especially if he had signed a contract.

The basic information of the bearded child was quickly found:

柁 Jiaxi 3rd dan, born in 1991, entered dan in 2002, and has not signed any team.

"Hehehehe"

Li Xiangping smiled silently, then quietly exited the training room and went outside to make a phone call.

"Hey, Uncle Cai, where are you now? Are you in the capital?"

"Haha Xiangping, I just came back, what's the matter?"

"Oh, where are you now?"

"Right at the club."

"That's okay, Uncle Cai, wait a moment, I'll come right over."

Persistently seek monthly tickets, recommended tickets, and various tickets.

Please everyone, thank you!
