Chapter 565 The triple realm of professional chess players

In late December, Hangzhou, the day before the first game of the 5th "Ying's Cup" final, Dean Wang, who had arrived at the stadium, was looking for Li Xiangping everywhere:

"Xiangping, where's the person from Xiangping? Didn't he come here two days in advance? Why hasn't he been seen yet?"

"I don't know, but I heard from reporter Zhang Da that Xiang Ping seems to have gone to Haining."

"Haining? Why did he suddenly go to Haining? Oh, by the way, Haining's leather is still very famous. Did he go there to buy clothes? This Xiangping is really inexplicable. Why does he have time to buy clothes at this juncture? ."

Li Xiangping came back just at this time, just in time to hear the last sentence of Dean Wang.

Li Xiangping almost didn't laugh out loud, of course he went to Haining not because of anything else, but because it was the hometown of Fan and Shi, and the second two of the three ancient chess masters were born there.

Now, since the great chess master Shi thinks he is a cheater, he took this opportunity to take Lao Shi to find his roots.

It's a pity that the experience of this root-seeking trip was very ordinary. Hundreds of years have passed, and even Lao Shi doesn't know much about his hometown.

Well, it's okay, things like houses and buildings will change, the only constant is the mountains and rivers, the two of them searched there for a long time, Shi Daqisheng finally found a small river, a small river in his hometown that he was familiar with.

It's just that when Lao Shi started to have feelings for the scene, Li Xiangping didn't feel anything.

You must know that it is already December, although the Gregorian calendar in the south of the Yangtze River will not be too cold in December, but you have to go to the river in December alone, needless to say, you can make up your mind.

After seeing Li Xiangping, Dean Wang immediately forgot about "buying clothes":

"Oh Xiangping is back? Mr. Wu Qingyuan is already here, you know."

"Oh."

Li Xiangping said "oh", but he didn't say anything. Mr. Wu has been the chief referee of the competition since the first "Ying's Cup". As long as his body allows, he will definitely attend the finals. This is Li Xiangping. things that have long been known.

But do you want to visit him today? Li Xiangping felt it was inappropriate.

There are two reasons why is inappropriate. First, he is going to play tomorrow. Second, Mr. Wu must have just come from Japan. He is so old and tired, now is not the best time to go.

Of course, Dean Wang also knew this, so after he mentioned it, he didn't say more, just told Li Xiangping to rest and prepare for the upcoming game. Anyway, this time it will be 2 games in Hangzhou. It must be time to communicate with Mr. Wu Qingyuan.

Li Xiangping agreed, and then went back to his room to rest and prepare for the next day's game.

On December 26, 2004, the 5th "Ying's Cup" final was officially launched on the banks of the beautiful West Lake. The two sides in the final were Li Xiangping of China VS Cui Du of South Korea.

Although from the paper, the current Cui Du is not enough to see, but after all, this is "the Olympic Games of the Go world", isn't it? And Li Xiangping just lost to Li Canghao once, right? And Cui Du is known as the big Li Kexing, so why do you think that he and Li Xiangping have no fighting power?

It is the combination of these factors that made this final a lot of attention. In addition to Mr. Wu Qingyuan, China Nie Ma also came, and Cui Du was personally led by Lao Cao and Liu Changhe to the arena.

Lao Cao was the first champion, Da Liu was the third champion, and more importantly, the first two rounds were also held here in the first final.

Beijing time 8:55 am, under the presidency of Mr. Wu, under the actual operation of Lao Jin, director of the referee department of the Chinese Chess Association, both sides of the game began to guess first.

In the end, Li Xiangping guessed the right to choose. He pondered for a few seconds, and then firmly extended his hand to Black.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides began to exchange seats.     arc.

While exchanging seats, Li Xiangping rushed to the referee's bench and the two young chess players laughed and laughed. Mirror men's exposed glaze is thin and thin.

The two main players in the perimeter armor serve as notators, indicating the high standard of the game.

At exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Wu gave an order and the game officially started. In the sound of the reporter's flashing lights, Li Xiangping calmly dropped the first move of the whole series.

There is nothing special to say about the opening, and even the entire series is not particularly interesting. Up to now, the consensus of the entire Go community is as follows:

Li Xiangping is the number one player in the chess world today. He is very talented and extremely talented, especially his mid-front game, which is already unmatched in the world.

And his opponent Cui Du this time is a player with both advantages and disadvantages. His overall strength is definitely not as good as Li Xiangping, especially his overall situation is slightly lacking, sometimes playing chess will appear A single tendon, but his mid-game fighting ability is quite strong, especially his fighting skills, which also reached a very high level, which is another headache for Li Canghao.

Therefore, in the consensus of everyone, whether Cui Du can play his strengths and entangle Li Xiangping like Li Canghao is the key to the whole series.

Conversely, from Li Xiangping's point of view, how he breaks this fight, and what method to use to dismantle the opponent's strongest point, is a question he needs to consider.

And the above, that is naturally the biggest highlight of this series.

As everyone expected, when the game was about 11:10 in the morning, there were only more than 40 moves in the whole game. The highlights that everyone was looking forward to came as scheduled. - Learning Sheath Condemnation 46 lots.

There is nothing special about this move in terms of technique. It is just an ordinary "two-way stand", but when this move is played, the entire on-site viewing room is instantly active.

When the chessboard was passed to the viewing room, reporter Zhang Da laughed at the time:

"Hey, take off first? The old man is taking a step and "standing" at this time. He wants to threaten Black's big corner? Hehe, I don't know much about other places, but I still appreciate the old man's attitude. He is talking about you Hit you, I hit me, that's right, if you want to play his snake-entanglement skills, this kind of play is basically the first step, otherwise he will follow step by step, then what will he do to compete with Xiang Ping."

That's right, reporter Zhang Da is very correct. If you want to lead the situation to a fierce battle, the most basic requirement is to make the situation unbalanced. This kind of attack thinking of "you hit you, I hit me" is often the easiest to make the situation unbalanced. At the same time, it is also most conducive to exerting Cui Du's technical strengths.

Now that the overall situation is less than 50 moves, the old man Cui came like this right away. Porcelain first, porcelain, and succulent.

is just Cui Du's special talent: the chess he plays seems to have the function of weakening the logic of chess.

how to say? That is, when you play against him, you may know that his chess is unreasonable, but you can't reason with him.”

This is a bit like a scholar meets a soldier. Cui Du is an existence that even a "senior scholar" like Da Li can hang and beat.

Although everyone knows that Li Xiangping is definitely not a "senior scholar" like Da Li, it's just that when Cui Du sacrificed his magic weapon for housekeeping, everyone in the viewing room still seemed very interested, and everyone wanted to see how Li Xiangping would do. Cope with this trick.

The "Ying's Cup" adopts the delayed penalty point rule. Since there is no countdown, in this competition system, you are not suitable for long exams, let alone one hour or two hours in one move.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiangping's response came quickly.

Waiting for everyone to see his response clearly, the people watching the excitement began to get excited, while those who cared about Li Xiangping hoped that he could win the game "without blood" and began to look at each other in dismay.

Not because of anything else, because his Black 47 seems to have chosen the most intense response. His move is clearly saying: Since you want to "you hit you, I hit me", then I will accompany you to the end.

The people watching the fun certainly have reason to be excited, because once Li Xiangping played this chess move, there was basically no room for turning around in this game. Not to mention winning or losing, today's battle will definitely be very fierce and beautiful.

Those who care about Li Xiangping certainly have reasons to worry about him. After all, this kind of trick is what the opponent is best at today.

Besides, even if you take 10,000 steps back, you, Li Xiangping, are also good at chess, and your combat effectiveness in this area is also very strong, but after all, you have other advantages and strengths, right?

For example, you can use your flexibility? Then why do you choose to play like this little hooligan fight?

What about your master style? Are you having a problem with your strategic choices today?

The people who can come to the live viewing room today are of course experts, and there are many famous players in the Go world, so such doubts are of course normal.

Not only the viewing room, but when Li Xiangping walked out of the game room after closing the game at noon, the battle between the two sides had just begun, and even Shi Daqisheng had something to say:

"Hey, little friend Xiangping, your choice today is beyond my expectation. When your opponent makes a provocative move, you should have many choices. Why do you single out this answer? Are you trying to beat your opponent? The strongest point to knock down the opponent?"

"Of course," Li Xiangping said to himself with a smile, "I am dissatisfied with Brother Ding'an, that's what I really think today."

"Well, it's only the first game of Wufanqi today, so you can try it."

"Brother Ding'an is wrong this time," Li Xiangping continued to smile and said to Lao Shi, "We are our own people, I will tell you clearly, even if today is the third game, even if I am 0-2 in the first two games. If you are backward, if you still encounter the provocative method of "two-way standing", I will go back to the way I am today."

Lao Shi didn't nag. After thinking for half a minute, he simply asked, "Why?"

"Haha, because after losing to that big Li last time, I figured out a problem."

"What's the problem?"

Li Xiangping didn't answer right away this time. He organized the language in his mind and said:

"Brother Ding'an, have you heard of the triple realm of professional chess players?"

"Three realms? Are you saying that a mountain is a mountain, a mountain is not a mountain, and then again"

"No, no, no", Li Xiangping interrupted himself with a black line and said:

"Brother Ding'an, what you said is too mysterious. It's okay to use force when facing outsiders, but it's useless for chess practice, and it's even more useless to fight dogs. I'm talking about the three-level realm, but it's much easier to understand."

"Oh, then let's hear it."

"Brother Ding'an, let me ask you, when two professional chess players meet, the most normal and basic idea is whether they want to make the best of their strengths and avoid weaknesses in the game, and put the chess game into the track that they are best at."

"Of course, this method is of course the safest. Only by importing the chess game into the field that you are most familiar with will you have the best chance of winning. I believe that more than 90% of the players in the game are the first to think this way."

After Lao Shi finished speaking, Li Xiangping paused for 3 seconds, and then said softly:

"This is what I think is the first realm."

Shi Daqisheng is of course not an ordinary person. He heard Li Xiangping say this, and he also paused for a few seconds:

"Then defeating the opponent in the opponent's strongest field is what you think is the second realm?"

Li Xiangping said without hesitation: "Of course!"

"This"

As soon as Lao Shi said the word "this", the two fell silent again.

After a long time, Li Xiangping sighed:

"Brother Ding'an, do you remember that I told you about the chess world seven or eight years ago?"

Now is 2004, seven or eight years ago was 1996 to 1997, that was the era when Ma Xiaofei and Da Li were fighting for hegemony, so when Li Xiangping said this, Lao Shi, who was somewhat familiar with the history of modern Go, immediately said:

"Little friend Xiangping said that Ma Xiaofei wanted to defeat Da Li in the official field?"

Li Xiangping sighed again: "Yes, I'm talking about this past."

Li Xiangping fell into short-lived memories at this time. He recalled what Ma Xiaofei said back then:

"I won 2 world championships in a row in 1995, and I immediately met Da Li in the "Toyo Securities Cup" in 1996. I knew that my fight with him would be long-term, so I played before that competition. I have made up my mind, I have to compete with him in the official field, and it is best to defeat him in this field."

Needless to say the result of that competition, Li Canghao finally defeated Ma Xiaofei, and then created the 10-year "Li Canghao Era".

Now go back and interpret Ma Xiaofei's words.

The most mediocre and crudest interpretation: Of course, he thinks that Ma Xiaofei is a bit stupid. He is not wise in doing so. How could he think like this? He should be able to use his strengths.

This happens to be the first realm of professional chess players!

A more advanced interpretation, or a more understanding interpretation, would suggest that Ma Xiaofei has an arrogance, the kind of arrogance that is basically possessed by top human chess players, so he will do whatever he thinks.

It is a pity that in this example, Ma Xiaofei has become a negative teaching material for pretending to be a fool.

To tell the truth, Li Xiangping thought this way in his previous life, he understood Ma Xiaofei's psychology, and felt that he was a bit pretending not to be a fool.

Even a month ago, Li Xiangping still thought so.

It's just that after losing to Li Canghao last time, Li Xiangping's thoughts changed slightly.

Because he remembered another sentence, a sentence that is likely to be a key word: "I know very well that my competition with him may be long-term."

If this keyword is added, then Ma Xiaofei's approach can be interpreted in another way:

In doing this, he actually wanted to overcome his inner fears and restrain his inner demons.

Because since it is a long-term competition, he has to do it.

Otherwise, when he encounters the opponent's strengths, he will go around. Considering that Da Li is so much younger than himself, Ma Xiaofei knows very well: if he keeps walking around, he will not be able to defeat Da Li.

This is Li Xiangping's interpretation, and this is what he thinks is the second realm of professional chess players.

This is also the reason why he did this today!

Because although the dog has not yet been born, Li Xiangping knows very well that in the next 10 years, this will of course be a long-term competition process. Strengths have to go around.

Then it is very likely that challenging the dog by yourself will be hopeless for life.

Lao Shi was Li Xiangping's plug-in after all, so he didn't need to say too much, he immediately understood what Li Xiangping meant.

"Haha, it's interesting, it's a bit interesting, that little friend Xiangping, what do you think the third realm is?"

Li Xiangping stopped talking again, he thought quietly for a while there, and then he said with a smile:

"Hehe, I can't tell you about the third realm. Well, didn't we just arrive in your hometown, but I just remembered a junior surnamed Jin in your hometown. No, the surname is Cha, it should be the junior and junior with the surname of Cha. I said a word, Ding'an brother, I will repeat that sentence now, this should probably be the third realm of a professional chess player."

"Oh, what did the younger man surnamed Zha say?"

"He is strong and he is strong, the breeze blows the hills, he is crossed by him, and the bright moon shines on the river. Hehe, brother Ding'an, how about it?"

"This is such a superficial text like a cut in the rivers and lakes. My junior surnamed Cha doesn't seem to have much culture, but the meaning is easy to understand. Xiaoyou Xiangping wants to say that professional chess players should not be afraid of any opponent's specialties, and even if they are opponents He has made use of his strengths and achieved all his strategic goals, but he can still beat him, this is the third realm of a professional chess player, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

At this moment, Li Xiangping smiled extremely happily. Of course, why he laughed, anyone who has read the martial arts novels of the old master Jin Yong will understand. Lao Shi actually said that Mr. Jin Yong has no culture?

He actually said that the younger generation in his hometown was uneducated?

"Okay, Ding'an brother, now that the time has come, I won't tell you any more. From today, let's break through the second realm of this human chess player. I think if we can't even break through this level, Then I think we shouldn't be ashamed in front of dogs.",

"Okay okay, Ding'an hereby wishes Xiaoyou Xiangping success."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiangping re-entered the game room. What will be the trend of this game of chess, the excitement has just begun.
