Go Legend Chapter 795

Chapter 795 Pay attention to small games with a heart

September 28th, the first three days of the 11th Golden Week, accompanied by the army, Li Xiangping came to the ancient town of Phoenix in Hunan Province to participate in this year's special 10th event.

The place is still the same place, and the rules are still the same as last year. However, due to the reversal of bonuses this year, 5 foreign chess players have joined, which makes this competition even more eye-catching and eye-catching—

If last year, the whole event was a little carnival, and not many people took the victory or defeat in their hearts at the beginning (most people predicted that Li Xiangping would lose).

But this year, due to Li Xiangping's unexpected record last year, the confrontation and competitiveness of this competition seems to have increased significantly.

"An enemy of the whole world! Li Xiangping challenges the entire professional chess world single-handedly!"

"Phoenix Ancient City - Jiangnan Famous Building Cup, Li Xiangping challenges the battle of human limits!"

Well, Li Xiangping doesn't know which plan did the copywriting. In short, after he arrived in Hunan Province, various media seemed to have unified the caliber and began to use propaganda similar to the above. One was to emphasize that Li Xiangping "challenged the whole Human beings", and secondly, to emphasize Li Xiangping's "challenge the limit", trying to use such words to emphasize the competitiveness and confrontation of the game, so as to make the game more eye-catching.

is indeed more eye-catching!

Anyway, after Li Xiangping arrived at the arena, he found that more chess fans came to the scene this year, especially tourists from abroad, which obviously increased a lot compared to last year.

"Well, who said that playing Go can't increase GDP? Who would dare to say that I'm the first not to agree..."

With such a wonderful idea, Li Xiangping attended the grand opening ceremony of this competition—

This year's opening ceremony is indeed a "grand".

Although as a niche event, the "grand" level is definitely not comparable to the Olympic Games, but in so many world competitions that Li Xiangping has participated in, he has never encountered the opening ceremony of that competition. So solemn, so many people came.

According to the previous agreement, this time only 2 games of chess will be played in Phoenix, and then on the "November", they will move to the Yellow Crane Tower, then move to the Tengwang Pavilion, and then move to the Yueyang Tower. After more than a month, I will come back here for the final game. Two discs.

But although there were only 2 games played this time, 8 of the 10 players from the World League came this time. Except for Zhang Xu from South Korea, Xiao Li and Japan, all the other 8 were present because they had competition tasks in the past two days. .

Not only that, but Lao Cao Lao Xu Da Liu from South Korea came, and Da Li, who was a member of the World League, even gathered in this small place 10 years ago.

As for Japan, although the leader of the group is Yamashiro Hiroshi 9th Dan, but Mr. Otake Hiroshi is here, Mr. Lin Haifenglin is here, Takenomiya Masaki and Umezawa Yukari are here - they are on behalf of Japan's NHK TV station, It is said that Japanese TV station will also record several special programs for this "Phoenix Ancient City - Jiangnan Famous Building Cup".

There are so many masters and celebrities from abroad, not to mention domestic ones. Needless to say, the new management of the chess academy has almost all come out. Not to mention, Dean Wang Lao, who has served as the chairman of the chess association, has brought more than 10 vice-chairmen——

Well, there are dozens of vice-chairmen of the China Go Association. For example, Mr. Liu of the current "Gionee" is also one of the dozens of vice-chairmen.

Because of the large number of guests, the opening ceremony was very lengthy. It took more than 2 novels to complete all the procedures. After the opening ceremony, the interactive activities with chess fans were held according to last year's practice, mainly playing chess. However, it is still the same as the beginning of the year. Considering that the competition will be played the next day, although Li Xiangping participated in the event, he did not play chess.

After the opening ceremony, Li Xiangping now only cares about one question: who will the United team play in the first game?

This rule also continued last year, which means that the formation of the alliance has great flexibility and is not fixed at all, as long as Li Xiangping is notified 2 hours before the game.

A total of 8 people came this time, so except for Xiao Li and Zhang Xu, it seems likely that anyone will be the first to play. Therefore, after the opening ceremony, Li Xiangping began to inquire about the old reporter Zhang Da and others, wanting to know this. Who is the first to play.

"Confidentiality."

The old Xie Lehe of "Sports" smirked at Li Xiangping:

"Although I already know, I won't tell you, Xiang Ping, aren't you very smart, so you might as well guess for yourself."

"cut!"

Li Xiangping scoffed at Lao Xie's pretense:

"How can you make me guess, thank you, I think otherwise, I will ask you 3 questions now, you just need to answer yes or no, and see if I can guess it."

"Oh oh oh oh."

Lao Xie was very interested when he heard it: "That Xiangping, please ask."

Li Xiangping smiled and said: "First, is it a domestic chess player playing tomorrow?"

This time, there are 5 Chinese players and 5 foreign players in the world team, so Lao Xie didn't hesitate to answer the first question, he answered readily: "Yes."

Li Xiangping continued to ask: "Is the chess player playing tomorrow younger than me?"

"Ah? This, this... Xiang Ping, aren't you Sarai? I refuse to answer this question."

Li Xiangping laughed when he heard it: "Hahahaha, thank you for telling me the truth. In fact, it doesn't matter if you answer now or not. I have already guessed who will play tomorrow."

"Ah?! Who is it?"

"Student Chen Xiaoqiang, isn't that old Xie?"

Lao Xie's eyes widened: "God, Xiangping, how did you guess it?"

Li Xiangping was very proud of hearing this. In fact, he often played games like the above with his cousin Li Weiping when he was a child. The most common way to play is:

One of the two brothers first remember a name in their hearts, and then the other party asks questions. The answerer can only answer yes or no, based on 10 questions, and see if they can guess the answer.

Li Xiangping believes that this is actually a small game to examine the degree of tacit understanding.

Anyway, when Li Xiangping was playing this little game with his cousin, no matter how misplaced the names were at the beginning, the brothers could always find the answer within 10 questions.

The most impressive thing about Li Xiangping is that in his previous life, when he was about 15 years old, he and his cousin played this kind of game once. At that time, Li Xiangping remembered the name, and the cousin guessed by asking questions--

The reason why Li Xiangping was so impressed is that the name he remembered was Lao Nie, but his cousin at that time seemed to have a good heart. He didn't even ask a question:

"Xiang Ping, the name you remembered just now is Lao Nie, isn't it?"

To be honest, Li Xiangping was a little dumbfounded at the time. He thought about it for two lifetimes and never understood why his cousin reported the answer all at once.

To be honest, compared to the previous small game, the difficulty today is much smaller.

The range of is only 8 people.

Li Xiangping directly reduced the scope by half through the first question.

Then waited for Lao Xie to pretend and refused to answer the second question, the players who played chess were actually ready to come out:

Of the 5 Chinese chess players, 3 are older than Li Xiangping, and only Chen Xiaoqiang and Zhou Xiaoyang are younger than Li Xiangping.

Why did Lao Xie refuse to answer at that time? Because if he answered "yes" at that time, then only Chen Xiaoqiang and Zhou Xiaoyang would be left——

Don't forget that Li Xiangping still has another opportunity to ask questions, so of course Lao Xie knows that, if Li Xiangping continues to ask questions, of course there is no suspense.

also saw Lao Xie pretending to be unwilling to answer, so according to his mentality, Li Xiangping can of course guess that the player who will play tomorrow is one of Chen Xiaoqiang and Zhou Xiaoyang.

As for which of the two is more likely?

Li Xiangping naturally thinks that Chen Xiaoqiang is more likely.

You must know that tomorrow is the first game, and in last year's "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" Li Xiangping relegated the United with a record of 6 wins, 2 and 2 losses.

Don't forget that one of the two games he lost was to Chen Xiaoqiang.

In this case, it is of course more likely that the Alliance will send Chen Xiaoqiang to lead the charge.

"Haha Xiangping you cow you cow..."

Lao Xie continued after laughing for a while:

"Since you are so good, Xiangping, can you guess the outcome tomorrow?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "I'm not talking about you, Lao Xie, you're asking too much of a question... Well, how should I put it, just like those fortune-telling gentlemen, which gentleman have you seen? Fortune-telling? No."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lao Xie laughed again and leaned back and forth, and then just when he was smirking, Dean Hua came over, and he came to inform Li Xiangping in person:

The opponent in the first set tomorrow is none other than Li Xiangping's number one younger brother, Chen Xiaoqiang.

Since the opponent is determined, of course Li Xiangping still has to do some preparations.

At this time, it is of course impossible for Li Xiangping to play Chen Xiaoqiang's chess manual. He mainly discussed with Lao Shi about who is the main player tomorrow:

"Brother Ding'an, it's still the old rules. Since it's the first round, of course, we must strive for a good start, so the combination of two swords is an inevitable operation. I have a question now, how do you feel now? Do you still feel that you are born with your hands? Will it be you or me tomorrow?"

"This... I said, little friend Xiang Ping, is this a problem for you? The soul strikes three combos, let's put it this way, although I feel it's okay, but tomorrow I think it's still up to you in this game."

"Haha, it's rare for Brother Ding'an to be so humble."

"This is not Ding'an's modesty."

Lao Shi smiled: "Xiangping little friend, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth now, although I think I'm still slightly stronger than you so far, but if we use two swords together, it still feels that you are the main power. Even bigger, as you said just now, in the first game, we must strive for a good start, so of course we must take the most powerful move."

"Heh, that's fine, then we're done."

On the second day, the first game officially started.
