On February 3, 2006, the second game of the 9th "LG Cup" World Professional Go King Finals.

When the game was around 4:30 pm, the entire live viewing room was very lively. This was obviously a civil war between two Chinese chess players, but the people who came here today seemed to have a lot more than the finals of other world competitions.

Not only are there many people coming today, but the entire viewing room also has a wonderful atmosphere.

After carefully counting the counts of both sides, reporter Zhang Da said to Lao Nie, who led the team to South Korea this time:

"Old Nie, the black chess now...it seems that the plate only has 5 more images."

"Ah! Only 5 goals? You said Xiangping's black chess is only 5 goals ahead? No, no, is it going to be a new world champion? And it still won the championship with 2-0 2-0? How is this possible! When did Xiangping be sealed by someone? Even if he lost the game before, he has never been sealed by anyone. Click again and again. Let me take a look again... see if there are other hidden means for black chess. We haven't discovered it..."

That's right, Lao Nie's words are the reason for the delicate atmosphere in the Nuodaguan War Room-----

By 4:30 pm, the game had already been played to more than 170 games, with nearly 180 moves, and there were not many big officials left, and there were only some middle-aged officials and small officials on the board.

However, after everyone in the research room judged that Li Xiang, who was black in this game, was at most 5 goals ahead of the screen, while the rule of "LG Cup" is that black chess needs to be posted with 6 and a half eyes!

Everyone did not believe this result. From old Nie, Lao Xie, Zhang Da reporters, to old Cao, Liu and Li in South Korea, they now have an incredible expression, counting the number of things around the board over and over again, and helping the black chess find out if there are any hidden means.

Indeed, in the past, there were countless similar victories for Li Xiangping: when others thought it was his difficult situation and even the laboratory began to sentence him to death, Li Xiangping could always make a "turnaround" skill.

More importantly, after the game, everyone found that Li Xiangping was mostly good at "turning around" such as "turning around", which was really not his "inspiration" on the spot. Basically, he had planned it long ago.

It’s just that Li Xiangping’s “premeditated” has been so many people can’t find out when watching the game.

This characteristic of Li Xiangping left a very deep impression on everyone before. It can be said that it is precisely because of this impression that the entire professional chess world recognized Li Xiangping's excellence.

However, it is very regrettable that in today's game, everyone has never seen a "turnaround" situation again.

At 4:40 pm Korean time, when the competition reached more than 180 moves, according to the judgment of many experts in the laboratory, Li Xiangping, who was holding black, still had only about 5 more strokes.

It was one afternoon at 5 pm Korean time, and 200 moves had passed by the entire game, and both sides of the game entered the countdown. South Korea's Da Lee and Da Pu also judged that the black chess board still had only 5 more mesh, and Gu Dali maintained the advantage of about 1 and a half mesh!

When the time came to 5:20 pm and the game had already passed 220 moves. Although Li Xiangping was still struggling, he seemed to refuse to give up. However, everyone in the research room no longer studied the chess game, but began to discuss the birth of the new world champion.

It was still the first reporter Zhang Da who spoke: "Tsk tsk, no matter what, I still have to congratulate Dali later. He is the third world champion in our country after Ma Xiao and Xiangping. And this champion is extremely important. It actually won the Li Xiangping. It's amazing! It's amazing. Old Nie, do you think it's..."

At this time, Old Nie also came back to his senses from the previous incredulity, and nodded and said:

"Well, it is indeed gratifying to have a breakthrough in Dali. If there is no other way in this game, then he will win again. The first game the day before yesterday was a complete victory, and there will be another complete victory today. This is not normal! Alas~~~ This Li Xiangping..."

After Old Nie sighed, he did not continue to say that indescribably, Gu Dali won the first championship in his personal career in this way, which was not only far beyond many people's expectations, but also seemed extremely abnormal.

However, no matter how unexpected it was, what should have happened still happened. At 6:05 pm, although Li Xiangping insisted on accepting the last official, he knew the final result himself:

With 289 moves in the whole game, Gu Dali defeated Li Xiangping with a 1 and a half goal and won the first world championship in his personal career!

The reason why Li Xiangping insisted on taking over the last official - everyone understands that in fact, his last dozens of chess moves were just "tidying his hairstyle". Therefore, when the real ending and the referee announced the result, his hairstyle was almost sorted out, at least he had already accepted the fact that he had failed in his heart.

So Li Xiangping congratulated Gu Dali with great grace.

At this time, Gu Dali's face was already swollen and red. In the winter, he had already taken off his coat and suit, and only a shirt was left on his upper body. Even so, he was still sweating:

"Chengran Chengran, haha, boss Jueyi, you are asking me this time..."

I'll let you sister!

Li Xiangping complained fiercely in his heart, of course, on the surface, he still maintained the necessary demeanor - the demeanor of the 14th champion in the world chess world, and then started a review with his opponent.

The review was very short, because it was a competition in South Korea after all, and Gu Dali was the champion of the new world. Many reporters interviewed him, so after the two of them played a few simple moves, the review was done in a hurry. The winner went outside to accept everyone's congratulations, leaving the loser alone licking the wound.

Li Xiangping is indeed licking the wound!

Although he has accepted the result of failure, it does not mean that he has let go. It is precisely because he cannot let go that he sits by the chessboard for a long time.

At this time, no one came to disturb him. Neither the chess player nor the reporter came to disturb him.

From any perspective, Li Xiangping lost a bit badly this time. Not only was he ignored, the content of the chess was boring. Maybe it was because of this reason that when he was sitting there, everyone was very "understandable" and didn't bother him.

"Brother Ding'an, what's going on? Why can't I even win a Gu Dali? Alas, it's such a joke. With my chess so bad, I'm still talking nonsense about fighting dogs."

"Haha, don't be too rude to yourself. This triple game, Ding'an thought it was not a crime of war, it was not your fault, but the opponent's performance was really good. I asked myself, if I changed to this final, I thought I couldn't stand it either, so don't take it too seriously, just a temporary victory or defeat, so don't be depressed."

"Oh, I'll say Brother Ding'an, don't just say these unnutritious nonsense to comfort me."

"Why am I talking nonsense? I'll ask you, my friend Xiangping, how do you think you are playing in these two games? Have you made obvious mistakes? Have you ever missed a lot?"

"This...this is not the case, but Brother Ding'an, does this prove that I am a waste? I feel that every move I make is online. Not to mention how good I play, but at least I have performed at my level normally, but look at the end..."

Before Li Xiangping finished speaking, Lao Shi interrupted him and said:

"Haha, Xiangping, do you know what I remembered after I watched this game today?"

"How do I know what you think? Then, what did you remember?"

"To be honest, I remember the primitive dog you told me before."

"Primitive dog? Hehe, Brother Ding'an, your thinking is easy enough. What does this situation today have to do with that primitive dog?"

"No, it doesn't matter technically, but I remember you told me that in your previous life, although the winning rate of primitive dogs against humans was also extremely high, it cannot be said that primitive dogs are also stronger than humans, right?"

"Yes, I said this. I always thought that in this matter, we could use double standards. Considering the stable output of dogs, for machines, there is no problem of whether they perform well or not, there is no problem of performing well, nor is there any abnormal performance. This is the biggest difference from human chess players. It is precisely because of this reason that I always thought that human chess players can maintain a winning rate of more than 20% when fighting with primitive dogs. This proves that the top level of human chess players actually surpasses primitive dogs. Those who say that humans are not even as good as primitive dogs are simply laymen."

"Yes, it turns out that Xiaoyou Xiangping knows so well."

"I, what do I know?"

"I know that we human chess players still have the problem of whether to perform. In my opinion, in this final, Gu Dali has already performed 100% at a level. No, I even think that he has performed 100% of his strength this time. And you, at most 80% of his skills in this final, 80% of his skills, and 80% of Li Xiangping lost to Gu Dali, 120%. What's strange about this?"

“……”

Li Xiangping couldn't speak at the time. He sat there for a while and then smiled bitterly:

"Brother Ding'an, I confirm again. It would be a pity that you don't go to pyramid schemes. This chicken soup is one bowl after another. Tsk tsk, I feel much better when you drink this bowl of chicken soup. Okay, Brother Ding'an, let's go back now, don't be foolish here and make people laugh."

The last individual world competition of the season ended in this way.

It's always good that since Li Xiangping lost to his compatriots, he did not receive much criticism after the game.

However, although there was not much criticism, the doubts continued to fluctuate until the Spring Festival. Everyone began to question Li Xiangping's going to college. As for his filming of "a great power player", there are now even one-sided opposition voices on the Internet.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xiangping came to the imperial court again to participate in the annual top ten national annual ceremony.

This is the fourth time that Li Xiangping was elected as one of the top ten athletes in the country, which can also be regarded as a record in the Chinese sports industry.

Of course he knew that this was also a big deal of Go - because Go is a non-Olympic event. Although the 2008 Beijing Olympics is about to be around, it is the hottest time for the Olympics, but everyone knows that according to the habits of our Chinese people, the more balance is needed.

The more people value the Olympics, the more non-Olympic athletes are required in the top ten selections.

Among the non-Olympic events in China, the only one who can compete with Li Xiangping is Snooker's Xiao Ding.

It was for this reason that Li Xiangping was elected for the fourth time in a row.

However, compared with the selection of "Golden Slam" last year, Li Xiangping, who stood there this year, was actually a bit listless.

The annual ceremony began. When the personal interview session entered, it was still the old CCTV host, Mr. Han Qiaosheng, who waved to Li Xiangping: "Xiangping, come on."

Li Xiangping smiled slightly, and he followed the route of rehearsal in advance to the center of the stage.
Chapter completed!
