After the 20th round of the siege, Li Xiangping went to the editorial department of "Go World" to be the "self-fighting commentary" of the Fujitsu Cup final.

This was also a promise with reporter Zhang Da, but because of the busy schedule before, not only Li Xiangping was busy, but also Zhang Da reporter Zhang Da was busy, so that's what has been delayed until now.

However, it cannot be delayed anymore. It is already late August. If this is delayed, the magazine's "Major Monthly Current Situation" column might have to open the skylight. Therefore, before Li Xiangping went to Shencheng to participate in the "Yingshi Cup" semi-finals, the two decided to get this matter done first.

This is not the first time the two of them have been doing self-war commentators, so they are familiar with each other and have finished them all in less than half a day.

Although through Li Xiangping's narration, reporter Zhang Da did not see the miracle of "57 hands to be considered as all changes in Qing Dynasty", he was still quite satisfied overall.

Because Li Xiangping's explanation has a characteristic: what I thought about at that time, where did I count and what possibilities I have calculated.

Then what is the ideal chart I most look forward to, what will my opponent do the most, what will my opponent do the most, and what will my opponent do the actual battle? During the game, I felt how he responded...

In a set of games, there is no need to have too many things like the above, just click at a few key points of victory or defeat.

In fact, as long as you do this, it will basically be a chess review above the "good" level, because doing so will not only allow readers to grasp the context of the entire chess game more clearly, but may also give them a little "input".

There is no doubt that this is much better than most chess reviews like the same as the record. Not only is the reading experience better, but it is also easier for ordinary chess fans to peek into the "mysterious spiritual world" of professional chess players.

Most of the chess reviews that Li Xiangping and Zhang Da reporters actually have this feature.

For example, this article today did not meet the maximum expectations of reporter Zhang Da, but the basic expectations were still met. Therefore, after completing the task, reporter Zhang Da seemed very satisfied and he turned on the chat mode:

"By the way, Xiangping, this year's "evening newspaper cup" is also held in Shanghai, I'll check..."

After checking the schedule, Zhang Da reporter smiled and said:

"Hehe, No. 27, the professional amateur confrontation is No. 27, and the second round of Yingshi Cup is No. 26. If you can defeat Chang Hao 2-0, it seems that you can catch up with this confrontation."

Li Xiangping smiled and said that the "Yingshi Cup" semi-finals were three games. Since the two competition schedules overlap, the chess institute certainly could not arrange for him and Chang Hao to participate in the "evening News Cup" after the "Evening News Cup", so he knew that reporter Zhang Da was just talking.

"Why, Lao Zhang, why didn't you attend the Evening News Cup this year?"

"Me? No, no," Zhang Da reporter shook his head like a pirated drum: "I haven't even participated in the local selection competition. Nowadays, children are so powerful. At my level, they basically just deliver vegetables when they go. Why should I find abuse?"

Li Xiangping smiled again after hearing this. What Zhang Da reporter said was the truth. After entering the new century, the trend of young people and even low-level professionals has become more and more obvious. A large number of people who have entered the stage of teenagers and even those who have been in the stage of low-level occupations have seriously squeezed the living space of pure green forest heroes.

In this era, many people think this is a good thing. After all, with the addition of this group, the overall level of the "evening newspaper cup" must have improved, but Li Xiangping has a different view.

You should know that the "evening newspaper cup" is an amateur event and is the most influential amateur competition in China. So in this kind of amateur competition, what do you want to pursue a high level?

No matter how high the level of this competition is, can it be higher than the Professional Go World Championship?

Therefore, if you look at the problem from this perspective, simply pursuing the high level of the "evening News Cup" may be a deviant way, and it is the simple "marketist idea" of the last century.

Li Xiangping believes that instead of doing this, it is better to maintain the differences and uniqueness of the "evening newspaper cup" so that more amateur heroes in the local area have the opportunity to participate in this top amateur event, which may be more beneficial to the development of the entire Go industry.

You should know that the promotion of Go is incomparable to the young man who made a sprint to a pure green forest. Li Xiangping himself was once a sprint to a sprint to a sprint, and he still has some understanding of this group.

To be honest, this group basically does not have any effect on the promotion and popularization of Go, and will often have a counter-effect.

Take Li Xiangping himself as an example. In his previous life, he remembered that after failing to make a tier for three consecutive years, he felt very ashamed and was very taboo to others talk about this in front of him. Over time, he even talked less about Go. Sometimes he wanted to watch Go games, but he was used to watching secretly by himself.

So, can you expect such a person to popularize and promote Go?

Li Xiangping's condition is pretty good. He is just a shame. He has seen even worse ones.

For example, in his previous life, he knew a young man who was a few years younger than him. The situation of that child was similar to that of him. He also started to participate in the final competition at the age of 11, and then failed to reach the final three consecutive years. The only difference between him and Li Xiangping was that during the last few years of rushing, he did not receive such high praise from Li Xiangping, which means that he had never become a popular favorite in the final competition.

However, after all, the person who dared to participate in the Go stage competition was quite smart. Later, he gave up Go and took the college entrance examination and got into a well-known 985 school. When he graduated from 985, he went to study in Lighthouse Country again.

After a year of going to Lighthouse Country, the child said something. He said that he wanted to vomit when he saw Go. He felt that the three years he had been a child were purely wasted, so he said that he regretted it to death. If he hadn't wasted those three years, he might have achieved higher achievements.

Well, although Li Xiangping didn't think he could achieve much success after listening to the child, this is not the point. The key point is that the existence of such a person will definitely not help Go, and there should be no doubt about this.

On the other hand, most amateur and powerful people in China are different. If you want to talk about this group, they basically have their own jobs, and can maintain a relatively high Go level when they have their jobs. First, this group is also smart, and second, this group still maintains a simple love for Go.

I also have a smart person who simply loves Go, which is the most useful thing in the promotion and popularization of Go.

The "evening News Cup" does not protect the enthusiasm of these people, but instead gives the young man a chance to make it. Isn't this obviously a deviant route?

Of course, Li Xiangping traveled through time once, and he was not planning to be the chairman of the Go Association, but to challenge the dog. Therefore, he only thought about this idea by himself, and would not and would not want to talk nonsense outside.

Reporter Zhang Da didn't notice this, and he continued to get entangled in the issue of professional amateur confrontation:

"Hehe Xiangping, you don't know. Lao Sun and Xiao Bao are so eager for you to play in the after-evening News Cup."

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Why do you want to seek revenge on me?"

"Hi! What kind of revenge is just a matter of face? You guy, you were so ruthless last time, which made the entire amateur chess world in Beijing very shameless. In the past six months, you have been ridiculed by others...."

Li Xiangping laughed: "Haha, the region is black, and the parallel goods in the capital are like this?"

Zhang Da reporter smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's about it. It's a pity that Lao Sun and Xiao Bao and others have studied it. Everyone agreed that it's almost impossible to seek revenge on you alone. Especially Lao Sun also said that in the only game he won, it seems that you are suspected of letting go. Since this is the case, the only way to save face seems to be to count on you out of the mountain. Only other amateur heroes have also experienced your strength, so our last miserable defeat will not be so abrupt."

Li Xiangping laughed again after hearing this:

"Okay, if time allows this time, I'll go there and go around."

It’s a pity that Li Xiangping did not succeed this time. In the third game with Chang Hao’s 9th dan, the two of them played 1-1 in the first two games.

Since he wants to win the final game, of course he can't go to the "Evening News Cup" stadium to participate in professional and amateur confrontation at this critical moment.

In the game against Chang Hao, Li Xiangping won the first game first and then lost the second game.

The game he lost was only the third game he lost this year. Therefore, after the game ended, it still attracted great attention from the outside world, and various media reported:

"............ In the third game of the "Yingshi Cup" semi-finals, Li Xiangping suddenly changed his tune. He seemed a little anxious to succeed, and was successfully dragged into the final game by Chang Hao's 9th dan..."

Sentences similar to the above are the most common after the end of this game, especially the two keywords "change tone" and "rush to achieve success", which often appear in various reports.

On the second day after the game, the day before the decisive game, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi talked about this game.

"My friend Xiangping, I understand your meaning a little now, but is it a bit too early for you to use this method?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Brother Ding'an, do you understand what I mean?"

Lao Shi smiled and said, "Haha, when I look at yesterday's game, Xiangping's friend changed his chess style. Some of his moves even obviously violated the principles of chess. This is very similar to deliberately imitating the Korean chess player Lee Sedol. At first I didn't understand it, but after thinking about it for a night, Ding'an gradually understood that Xiangping's friend's intention is lofty, which is deeply admired. You should also be for: "Those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die"?"

Li Xiangping smiled slightly, thinking that the plug-in was indeed a plug-in, and the one who knew him best was Lao Shi.

The trick he chose yesterday was really stimulated by Xiao Li.

Not only because he had won his set before, but also because just a few days ago, he used a similar method to eliminate Chang Hao in the top 16 match of the "Samsung Cup".

There is also the sentence Lao Shi just said: "Those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die."

So Li Xiangping thought yesterday that since he was "teaching a lesson" by Chen Xiaoqiang, he would say such things.

So if you apply this sentence to yourself, and you have been learning dog tricks now, then is it really possible to defeat dogs by relying solely on such "learning"?

Li Xiangping could not deceive his heart, he thought the possibility was slim.

Although it cannot be said that it is completely impossible, there is a very basic fact:

If Xiao Li's understanding of dog tricks reaches the level of himself and Lao Shi, then if he lets his style fight with dogs, his chances of success will be much greater than that of himself.

It was precisely under this stimulation and this layer of thinking that he deliberately made some changes in yesterday's game.

However, it turns out that he really can't learn Lee Sedol's style.

At least in yesterday's competition, he did not learn well.

Not only is the chess game very stiff and forced, it gives people the feeling of "rushing to achieve success" and "changing tone", but there is no decent chance of playing all the game. He was defeated by Chang Hao in the 9th dan without 200 moves.

"Ah, as the saying goes, the devil is one foot taller and the Tao is one foot taller. I have always believed in this, but Xiao Li is different. He seems to be a person who is one foot taller and the Devil is one foot taller. Brother Ding'an, do you say that the demon really cannot be naturally transformed between the Tao? Even if it is impossible to achieve seamless connection, is it not enough to take into account the magic skills while practicing Taoism?"

"Haha, I definitely can't do it, but I believe that Xiaoyou Xiangping will do it."

Li Xiangping's face sank: "Brother Ding'an, you are here again."

"It's not true, the above is indeed the heartfelt words of Ding'an. I really believe you can do it. It's just a friend of Xiangping. Do you want to know why you failed yesterday?"

"Oh?" Li Xiangping's attention was instantly diverted by Lao Shi:

"Then you tell me."

Lao Shi had no other nonsense this time, he said directly:

"First, I thought it would be too early for you to try this method now."

"It's too early?"

"Yes," Lao Shi sighed and said, "My friend Xiangping, I will use what you said just now. If you want to practice dual cultivation of the devil, your idea is of course very good. So what do you want to do between the two?"

Of course, Li Xiangping did not hesitate at all about this question, and he quickly replied:

"That goes without saying that of course, "Tao" is the main focus and "demon" is the auxiliary."

"That's the best, then may I ask my friend Xiangping, how many levels have you understood about the "Tao" you mentioned? Is it enough for you to practice the demonic path?"

"this......."

Li Xiangping couldn't speak anymore.

After Lao Shi was silent for a while, he spoke again:

"So, you must practice this method, but Ding'an thought we might as well wait a few years, and after you have achieved a small success in the Taoist Technique, you will practice the magic skills. This may be more effective. Do you think so?"

Li Xiangping was actually convinced, but he asked again:

"Brother Ding'an, what level do you think is considered a small success?"

"Haha, my friend Xiangping forgot that we have discussed this topic before."

Li Xiangping was silent for a moment: "Brother Ding'an means when we can discover the weakness of that dog?"

"Yes," Lao Shi deserved it very quickly this time: "We don't want to crack it immediately, but at least we must be able to find weaknesses and clearly see the weakness of the machine. This is the only way to achieve the small success."

After the two of them communicated here, they did not continue. After all, there was still a game the next day.

In addition to this side, the other semi-final battle between Li and Cui Du also played 1-1 in the first two sets.

So on the next day, four chess players participated in the final game at the same time.
Chapter completed!
