"Haha, I understand. The key reason why this senior Zhu Yuting has extremely high talent but failed to become a top chess player is because of his identity. It is the nobility in him that hinders his continued improvement in chess skills.

Isn’t that right, brother Ding’an?”

"Haha, the little friend from Xiangping is really smart. He really knows everything. This is indeed the case."

"Hehehe."

Li Xiangping giggled for a while. The two of them were talking about the senior Zhu Yuting on the surface. However, at this moment, Li Xiangping was thinking of Chang Hao's 9th Dan. Because if you want to talk about "nobleness", it may be in today's world.

In the domestic chess world, there is no chess player more "noble" than him.

Chang Hao, who was born in the 1970s, became famous at a young age. When he was 6 years old, he defeated the famous Japanese master Hideyuki Fujisawa in a guided chess game, and his chess skills were highly praised by the master.

, the old magic stick asserted that this son "will definitely become a great weapon."

It can be said that from that time on, Chang Hao has been favored by all kinds of people, and his growth has been carefully cared for by the Chinese Go community------

How to describe it? If Noriyoshi Yida was once the "Crown Prince" of the Japanese Go world, and a few years later, there will be a "Golden Prince" in the Korean Go world, then Li Xiangping believes that for a long time, often

Jiuduan is actually like the crown prince of our Chinese Go community. It is just because we are in a new society that this name does not appear in the domestic media.

It is this kind of careful care from the domestic Go community that has made Chang Hao's growth path extremely smooth. He has grown from a children's champion, a youth champion, a national champion... until now he has successfully grown into the number one player in the country.

However, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of this kind of careful care that Chang Hao's ninth dan is a bit like a flower growing in a greenhouse, with a little bit of nobility and a little bit of squeamishness about him-----Why chess fans are watching Chang Hao

During the game, I always feel that he is short of breath? Why is he now nicknamed "Chang Mian" by chess fans?

Of course there is no other reason for this, it's just because of the nobility in him.

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, although this is considered a flaw of his opponent, this weakness is too abstract after all and belongs to the temperament of chess. So with my current strength, I may not be able to catch this weakness of his. You have more.

Any specific suggestions?”

After hearing what Li Xiangping said, Lao Shi thought for a moment and then said:

"I'm sorry, little friend Xiangping, but I don't have any more specific suggestions. After all, a formal match is actually a contest of comprehensive strength between the two sides. You must admit that this person's overall strength is indeed stronger than you now, so Ding'an thinks that you

It’s better not to think too much before the game, as long as you maintain a good attitude and make sure that the opponent is not invincible, this will make it easier to perform.”

Li Xiangping chuckled; "Haha, in the final analysis, it is the spiritual victory method. Brother Ding'an, I know what you mean. You want to say that even if this person has weaknesses, I can't grasp them at my current level. Then

Well, let’s not talk about the upcoming competition now. Brother Ding’an, let me ask you; in the opinion of a great expert like you, what is this person’s most specific flaw?”

Lao Shi was embarrassed to avoid it anymore. He paused for a moment and then said: "I don't know if my opinion is right or not. After reading many games of this person's chess records, I feel that in addition to this person's chess style not being tough enough, his chess skills are also good."

The understanding of shape is also average, and in actual combat, I often make and play..."

“Isn’t it right to always play plausible chess patterns?”

"That's right, using the word "plausible" is indeed more appropriate. As expected, little friend Xiangping..."

Li Xiangping laughed and interrupted Lao Shi to continue: "Haha, brother Ding'an, no need to say more, now I already know how to play this game."

Li Xiangping did know how to play this game of chess. After all, compared to the previous weakness, Chang Hao's flaw was much more specific. As for Chang Jiuduan of this era, his understanding of chess shapes is specious, like this

Shi Daqisheng is not the only one who said this in his evaluation. In real history, Chang Hao himself also said this.

And when Chang Hao said this, it was not after AlphaGo was born. In real history, he would wait about six or seven years later, when the world chess world officially became "post-80s" and "post-90s"

"In the world, Chang Hao Jiuduan said this in public, reflecting on his shortcomings when he was young.

In Li Xiangping's view, it is quite normal for Chang Hao to have this kind of flaw in his 9th dan. You must know that he is a "post-70s" player, so to be honest, the group of "post-70s" chess players in our country, they

I was really "poisoned" by Japanese Go.

One of the biggest problems of Nippon style, or one of the biggest characteristics of Nippon style, is that it pursues the safety of playing chess too much and emphasizes "safety first" everywhere. So under such a dominant idea, they unilaterally believe that only the strong momentum

The correct way to play and a solid chess shape is a "good shape".

That’s all. Some extreme Japanese people even believe that only such a “good shape” can be efficient.

There is no need to explain too much. This view is undoubtedly very one-sided and wrong. This is one of the main reasons for the rapid decline of Japanese Go after entering the new century. You don’t have to wait until the Go AI is born. Just like South Korea’s Xiao Li

, that he can maintain an ultra-high winning rate of over 90% against Japanese chess players is enough to prove how wrong the dominant thinking of Nippon Style is.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiangping was so young and happy just now. After all, compared to Chang Hao's "nobility", his weakness is much more concrete. Li Xiangping also comes from later generations, so he has experienced it.

He is a Go AI player, so although his current level is not high and his "skills" may not be as deep as Chang Hao's, his understanding of chess shapes definitely does not have so many rules.

And this may be his only advantage now.

After thinking about this, Li Xiangping felt at ease. He was now gearing up and preparing to compete with his opponents in the next game.

After a long journey, Shanghai finally arrived.

"Xiangping, here."

Li Xiangping saw that it was his cousin Li Weiping who came to pick up the car. Li Xiangping happily greeted him:

"Hey, brother, why are you so polite today? You actually came to pick up the car in person?"

Strictly speaking, Li Xiangping and this cousin are not very close. After all, they did not grow up together. Therefore, in terms of relationship, they are not as close as Zhao Daokai. However, they are blood relatives after all, so Li Xiangping is not as close as Zhao Dakai.

Xiangping was still very happy when he saw him coming.

Li Weiping's coming was not the point. The key was the few young people who came with him, especially one of them, who wore glasses, had slightly curly hair, and looked elegant and fair. Li Xiangping was even more impressed.

It looks a bit familiar.

Li Xiangping quickly remembered that this person was the famous Hu Yiqing and Hu Tianwang in the domestic amateur chess community. While thinking of this identity, Li Xiangping also remembered that this person seemed to be still at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

He is studying in this school, and his cousin Li Weiping was admitted to this school just last year.

Li Xiangping smiled at Li Weiping and said, "Are you a classmate?"

"Yes, these are my classmates, they are from our school's Go club."

"Oh, hello everyone. Hello everyone."

Li Xiangping greeted everyone enthusiastically. Among domestic universities, the Go activities of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics are quite good. They have recruited a large number of talented students like Hu Tianwang and have won many university Go league championships.

, the strength is quite impressive.

"Hello."

"Hello, Boss Jueyi..."

Many students also came over to greet Li Xiangping. Although everyone was very enthusiastic, Li Xiangping was still surprised that this group of people appeared at this time.

Just when Li Xiangping was confused, Li Weiping revealed the answer in one sentence:

"I told you a long time ago that Li Xiangping is my brother. Now you should believe it. Xiangping, please tell everyone in person that I am really your brother."

Li Xiangping couldn't help laughing, it was because of this that this guy put up such a big battle.

"Yes, yes, you are my brother, my real brother, and I hereby prove it."

Li Xiangping didn't have much communication with this group of college students. After all, he was still thinking about tomorrow's game. After having a midnight snack with everyone, Li Xiangping went to rest early to recharge his batteries and prepare for the game.

.

The next day, Li Xiangping came to Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai, which was the home court of the Shanghai Go team. He held the Go match in the prison. Only the Shanghai team could do this.

Where the game is held is not the point, the key is to see who the opponent is today. To say that the current Shencheng team is considered to be strong, their players are average in strength. In today's siege, they are the only ones who can compete with

Gu Dali's Shancheng team is competing for superiority, so today they face a weak team. Will they send Chang Hao as the leader? It's still unknown now.

Fortunately, the Shanghai team gave Li Xiangping some face. When he walked into the arena, he saw Chang Hao, the 9th-dan player, sitting opposite him, which made Li Xiangping's preparations pay off.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the game officially started. By guessing first, Li Xiangping guessed the black chess piece in this game. After the referee announced that the game officially started, Li Xiangping did not make a move immediately. He closed his eyes and concentrated for 3 seconds.

Minutes later, he carefully placed his first move on the chessboard.

Although Li Xiangping's performance in the siege is disastrous, he is undoubtedly the one who gets the most attention in the domestic chess world today as he is about to compete for his second world championship.

Of course, the same is true for today's game of chess. Even the reform-through-labor prisoners in prison mostly only pay attention to this game, while almost no one cares about the other games.

And Li Xiangping lived up to expectations. He made a rare change soon after the start.

"Ah? This change is rare. Is this a newbie prepared by Li Xiangping?"

It can be said that Shanghai City is indeed the center of Go in our country. There are still many knowledgeable people here. After seeing the start of this game, one of the old coaches of the Shanghai team said:
Chapter completed!
