The schedule of the CCTV Cup is quite compact. From the first round, it has been inserted at a pace of one set a day, with no gaps in between.

To be honest, the intensity of such a game is actually a bit too high, and it is a test of the physical strength and willpower of professional chess players in the school.

For example, in real history, after entering the new century, many young Chinese chess players first proved the truth in this game, and this compact schedule is an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Of course, Li Xiangping no longer needs to prove his reputation in such a game, and he doesn't even care about such intensive schedules------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And compared with the playboy who was almost hollowed out by wine and sex in his previous life, Li Xiangping is now in his prime, and he is full of energy.

Therefore, the first reason why this competition attracted him was: there was also the "Asian Cup" and the TV Cup" was established, which stipulated that the champion and runner-up of this competition would be eligible to represent China in the "Asian Cup".

Key points: This is the only way to participate in the "Asian Cup", and unlike some other world competitions, where you win the championship in this event, you will automatically become a national seed in another event.

Well, in fact, in all international competitions, the "Asian Cup" level is relatively low, and the highest championship prize seems to be only about 4.5 million yen---

Not to mention that it is compared with the traditional seven major news chess battles in Japan, even compared with the fast chess battles in Japan, it is not enough to watch.

For example, the "nhk" TV fast chess battle in Japan is actually the "Asian Cup" selection match in Japan, but the championship prize of the nhk cup fast chess battle is as high as 10 million yen.

The prize money of this Damn selection competition is higher than the prize money of the main competition, which makes people feel a bit funny. However, this is also caused by the particularity of professional Go.

Professional Go is currently only carried out in East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea. Nowadays, the economic development of the three countries is still very different. Although the Japanese economy has been in decline for a long time and is completely incomparable to the peak period in 1993, it is still the second in the world after all, and the economic size this year is still more than twice that of our country. It is precisely because of this difference that their domestic selection prizes are higher than those of the World Championships.

The second reason why Li Xiangping participated in the competition is of course the keyword "fast chess".

In fact, to be strict, since Li Xiangping officially became a professional chess player, he has not played any real fast chess game.

Although he has participated in two "Nongxin Cups", to be honest, since the "Nongxin Cup" has a fixed thinking time, this is not a real fast chess in the traditional sense, and can only be called "quasi-fast chess".

In the tv cup and "Asian Cup", you will count down from the first step, and then each step must be made within one minute. This is the real and pure fast chess.

Obviously, for such a competition method, Li Xiangping certainly wanted to exercise his plug-in for more.

After all, in the era of Shi Daqi Sheng, they didn’t even have the concept of “countdown”.

Although this guy has practiced a lot on the Internet after he came over, any senior chess fan knows that playing online chess on the Internet and cutting in formal competitions are completely different. Therefore, even in order to make Lao Shi look for this feeling, Li Xiangping believes that it is necessary to participate in this competition.

Of course, Lao Shi was happy in the game. He agreed happily, but Li Xiangping was not ready to let him play it alone.

After all, Lao Shi only has 5 chess quotas left. Putting these quotas on a fast chess game will not be willing to let it go, not to mention that Li Xiangping is reluctant to let it go, I am afraid that even Lao Shi himself will not want to.

The "this match" of the tv cup officially started. In the first round, considering things like "a good start", Li Xiangping did not let Lao Shi go.

After passing the first round easily, Lao Shi himself was reluctant to do so in the second round-----

It's not because of anything else, because Lao Shi, this guy disliked the opponent's strength in this round, and this is a local chess player with a rank of more than 80. Therefore, Li Xiangping had no choice but to take action himself again.

This round of the game was still calm, and Li Xiangping defeated his opponent relatively smoothly.

After two rounds of games, Li Xiangping actually reached the quarterfinals of this game. When he saw his opponent in the third round, Li Xiangping laughed at that time: Chen Yaoyue's fourth stage.

This is the only Go world younger brother whom Li Xiangping has temporarily accepted after traveling through time.

"Hehe Brother Ding'an, what about this opponent?"

"Yes, I'll be in this round..."

On the second day, the competition between Lao Shi and Chen Xiaoqiang officially started. Because it was only used as a "human-shaped mover", Li Xiangping had time to get distracted during the competition:

"Well, in real history, it seems that Chen Xiaoqiang has started to make rapid progress in just one or two years. In real history, he will be able to defeat Da Li next year and reach the final of the World Championship. Although he lost to Gu Dali in the end, he was also the first-class chess player. I don't know if he can cause some trouble for Lao Shi..."

Unfortunately, the result of the game made Li Xiangping a little disappointed. With Shi Daqi's performance as a dog, Chen Yaoyue had no decent chance of playing the game. He almost lost in a "euthanasia" mode.

Well, it would be fine if it was someone else, but who made Chen Xiaoqiang a younger brother? It was rare to meet a chess player younger than him in the game. Therefore, after a simple technical review, Li Xiangping couldn't help but show off:

"I said Yaoyue, can't you go on like this?"

Chen Xiaoqiang stared at innocent eyes: "Old, boss, what's wrong?"

After seeing that innocent look, Li Xiangping turned into a philosopher at that time:

"Have you heard that saying? It means that those who learn from me live, like me die, Yaoyue, Yaoyue, what about your own characteristics? What about your own strengths? I remember that when I cut me in the final stage competition, you were very hard-pressed. You can combine your own characteristics with today's method of deciding tone, otherwise you will follow my butt step by step, and you will be able to catch up with me in the year of the monkey and horse month?"

After pretending to be this pussy, Li Xiangping felt very happy. However, he thought later that as a former fan of Chen Xiaoqiang, he was not just for the sake of showing off and not being able to "ditch flow" Chen Xiaoqiang, who was not as good as the "ditch flow", would he still become the leopard head in the minds of the majority of chess fans?

When Chen Xiaoqiang comes to this level, Li Xiangping will say that he has entered the semi-finals, while his opponent in the semi-finals is the "Little Tiger" younger generation Wang Xi eighth dan.

Well, this person is also a master of fast chess. He also won the "Asian Cup" championship in his previous life. With this championship, he finally stood out from many "Tortoise" in the Chinese chess world and became one of the rare "Wang Jiudan".

However, when Li Xiangping was about to let Lao Shi compete with him, Lao Shi was unwilling to do so, because he disliked his chess skills and did not want to waste a game quota.

Well, I have to be honest. When Li Xiangping heard this, he felt a little sad. He thought to himself, why is his plug-in so unique? Other plug-in is easy to talk about, especially some plug-in from time-traveling seniors, which is even more like a slave.

But it’s better to be here. After being together for a few years, my plug-in has dared to make requirements with me.

But there is no way, it's all for this. Li Xiangping has no way to use his own plug-in, and he has to go on it himself if he doesn't want to.

Finally, it was fine. After passing Wang Xi's eighth stage, when Lao Shi was excitedly suggesting that he wanted to play the last game of chess, Li Xiangping decisively refused him, and at that time he simply rejected him.

The reason is no different, because the opponent in this final is Kong Erjie Seventh Dan, who is the best player in the "Asian Cup" among all Chinese chess players in his previous life. The three consecutive championships he once created were second only to Mr. Takemiya Masaki's four consecutive championships.

Considering that since he has reached the finals, he has already ensured his qualifications for the "Asian Cup", then for such a game of chess, Li Xiangping certainly wants to try his fast chess level.

The final was held in the studio hall of the imperial court station. There were no many twists and turns in this competition. In less than two hours, when Li Xiangping lost the 247th move in the whole game, Xiaomei was no longer in the mood to continue.

He smiled bitterly and looked up: "It's still the boss Jueyi is so powerful..."

And with his words, the TV Cup champion won the second domestic chess trophy.

But it was a little bit a pity that although Li Xiangping was a winner, he did not try out how powerful his fast chess level was.

The problem is not Li Xiangping himself, but the opponent.

Because his feeling of playing this game today is very similar to the feeling of watching Kong Erjie vs. Song Taikun's game during the "Fujitsu Cup" some time ago-----

Li Xiangping's feeling was extremely strong: Kong Erjie is now working hard to learn dog tricks, and he really wants to integrate his idea of ​​dog tricks into his own Go.

It’s a pity that he is the “most professional chess player”.

Then a professional chess player like him must be "breaking and then standing up".

It’s a pity that he is still in the “breaking” stage. Since the “breaking” has not been broken yet, of course there is no “establishment”.

And this is actually the main reason, or even the only reason, for his loss today.

Of course, Kong Erjie is still young now, so although Li Xiangping doesn’t know when he will be able to ‘break’, he also knows in his heart:

When Kong Erjie also began to "stand up", he would definitely be a strong enemy. Maybe he would see an upgraded version of Kong Er.

The next focus of the tv cup is the "Toyota cup".

Before preparing to set off for Japan again, Li Datu rarely came to him:

"Xiangping, this time I go to Japan, it's best to remember to bring some gifts to your sister."

"What are you doing?"

"Full moon, I'm going to be serving Beibei's full moon banquet soon. So don't you, a brother, tell me?"

Li Xiangping laughed: "Haha, it must be..."
