It was mid-September, and Li Xiangping went to South Korea to participate in the quarterfinals of this year's "LG Cup".

Lao Shi's opponent this time is South Korea's old king Seo Bong-soo. Maybe it's because Seo Bong-soo is no longer at the peak of 9th Dan. Of course, it may also be because he has followed the old saying "If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later." In short, this game was uneventful.

, Lao Shi basically won the opponent smoothly without much trouble.

Li Xiangping once again entered the semi-finals of the World Series with the help of Lao Shi. This was the third time this year and the fourth time he has entered the semi-finals of the World Series. At the same time, he continued to maintain the record of advancing to all world competitions.

Ten days later, he went to South Korea again, this time for the quarterfinals of the "Samsung Cup", and Li Xiangping's opponent was replaced by Korean teenager Cui Zhehan.

Well, the current "Cui Du" is indeed still a "little general", but this game still attracted more attention. The reason is simply because not long ago, Cui Zhehan entered two consecutive domestic title matches in Korea.

The finals, and the opponent in the finals is Li Canghao.

Both finals were five games. In the subsequent challenge matches, Cui Zhehan snatched two titles from Li Canghao with scores of 3-2 and 3-1 respectively. His battle shocked the Korean chess world.

, the reputation of "Shifo Nemesis" began to spread.

So this time I met Li Xiangping, a super star who has risen rapidly in the past two years and is the most popular recently. This game is quite eye-catching.

It's just that even Li Xiangping can't quite understand it. It's clear that Korean Go seems to be stronger these days. Koreans brag every day that "they are the strongest country in Go...", but Lao Shi is dealing with Korean Go.

When it comes to his hands, he seems to be particularly skillful and seems to be particularly handy.

The "handy" mentioned here not only refers to victory or defeat, but is actually more reflected in the content of the chess game. For example, up to now, Lao Shi has actually maintained a complete victory in the game against Japanese players, but several of them were hard games.

, especially the recent game against Lao Zhao, which was a thrilling win.

However, it was different when Lao Shi played against Korean chess players. Except for the two games he lost to Li Canghao before, as for other chess games, no matter whether he played against Lao Cao or Da Li, or Liu Changhe or Li Shishi, Lao Shi was basically the same.

The win was very beautiful, and the content of the chess game was very fulfilling.

It was the same this time against the young "Cui Du". Xiao Cui's "Venomous Snake Wrapping Skill" was completely useless against Shi Daqi Sheng.

Think about it, throughout the life of chess master Shi Da, in addition to co-creating the "Danghu Ten Game" with Fan Xiping, which will be passed down through the ages, Li Xiangping personally believes that his other most exciting chess games are two games.

One of the games was the "Twisted Live Sheep's Head" played with his disciple Zhang Zhenxi.

The other game was a strange game of "Dance with Nine Dragons" played by Cheng Lanxi, another famous player from the Qing Dynasty.

This game of chess was so intense that it is rarely seen in the world. During the middle game, the black and white sides actually had 9 dead chess pieces entangled together. The two masters tried their best to fight to the death, but in the end, Lao Shi had the upper hand.

, won the game of chess.

To be honest, compared with that game, some of the so-called "famous chess killing games" in modern times are simply weak, such as the so-called "Thousand-Armed Killing Game" played by Hideya and Yan Jinzhun at once, and Hideyuki Fujisawa

The "Hundred Eyes Killing Game" played by the old magic stick and Masao Kato and so on. Regardless of the intensity of the battle and the richness of technical and tactical connotations, these chess games cannot be compared with "Dancing with Nine Dragons" at all.

Compare.

Since Lao Shi can even play such a chess game, the result of Xiao Cui facing him now can be imagined. In this game of chess, the two people are fighting hard, and Lao Shi's "Nine Dragons Dance Skill"

Completely suppressing Cui Du's "Venomous Snake Wrapping Technique", Lao Shi continued to run on the road to winning streak before the 180th move was over.

After winning this game, Li Xiangping attracted the attention of the entire Go community.

"Excellent skills are so good that not even an inch of grass grows! In the just-concluded quarter-finals of the "Samsung Cup", Chinese chess player Li Xiangping won again. Regarding his crazy performance in the international arena, reporters can no longer find suitable words to describe his performance.

Where is the limit? The reporter thought about it, and perhaps only the most vulgar saying in the NBA can describe it: "The sky is his limit."

"Monster! This is a monster! Since Li Xiangping was born, he has completely subverted my view of Go. Go, which has thousands of years of Taoism, is the oldest and most splendid Go in the world. For example, the ideals emanating from Go

The atmosphere of philosophy and philosophy can overwhelm the unrequited reality. If a teenager is a Go master, wouldn’t it be ridiculous? But Li Xiangping... If you don’t admit that he is a Go master, then you can only think that he is a Go master.

He is a monster."

"The invincible Li Xiangping, the Li Xiangping who is running wildly. Everyone said that if this momentum continues, is it possible for Li Xiangping to achieve the first "Golden Slam" in the world of chess?"

When all the discussions and praises were about to die down, a netizen threw out the word "Golden Slam", which once again brought Li Xiangping back to the center of public opinion. Everyone started discussing this with great interest.

The so-called "Golden Slam", of course, refers to winning all the World Series championships in one season. This is undoubtedly very difficult. In fact, let alone a "Golden Slam", even a "Grand Slam" is not real in reality.

In history, only Li Canghao has ever done it, so everyone has been talking about it, and they still think it should be difficult for Li Xiangping to do it.

However, Li Xiangping has survived all the world competitions, right? In other words, at least so far, he is the only one in the world chess world who has this possibility. In this case, this certainly does not prevent the public from talking about it.

What a joy.

When Li Xiangping saw such discussions, he felt so mixed that he didn't know what to say.

"Hey, brother Ding'an, you should really take it easy now. If you keep winning like this, it will make it difficult for me to do anything later, you know..."

Of course, Li Xiangping will have mixed feelings. You must know that so far, Lao Shi has used 5 sets of the 15-game quota this year. And he has already reached the semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup". This

The semi-finals of the two competitions are Sanbanqi, and the finals are Wubanqi, plus the quarter-finals of the "Toyota Cup" and the quarter-finals of the "Chunlan Cup".

So according to Li Xiangping's calculations, as long as Lao Shi reaches a final in the next game, the quota of 15 games will definitely not be enough.

What should I do if the quota is not enough? Then of course Li Xiangping will have to sit in the finals of the World Series by himself. As long as he thinks of this, Li Xiangping will of course have mixed feelings.

"Oh, let's find a way to improve as soon as possible. Don't think about the "Golden Slam" right now. As long as it won't be too embarrassing then..."

He was really afraid that something would come his way. Just when Li Xiangping was worrying about this matter, Coach Wu from the national junior team came to visit him again.

"What does Coach Wu want from me?"

"Haha, Xiangping, have you forgotten that the "Nongshim Cup" will start next month? I'm here to discuss the "Nongshim Cup" with you."
