"My friend Xiangping, I think you look a little depressed?"

"Oh~ Brother Ding'an, do you think my arithmetic path is really bad? It's okay if you can't compare to you, but why is even worse than that Gu Dali? With my stinky chess, how can I fight dogs in the future?"

"Haha, my friend Xiangping, I told you that when you are playing chess, I often can't calculate many of the tricks you played."

"oh?"

"Don't forget, we are still humans. Since we are humans, we must still have emotions. We will never be as cold as machines forever. We should pay attention to our commitment when playing chess. I'll ask you, my friend Xiangping, when you are playing games with me and others, can your commitment be the same?"

"this……"

Old Schrön paused and continued: "Besides, the way of Go is so complicated, and the calculation path is not the whole of Go. It's like... It's like, when I watch your modern football game, sometimes I often count the distance of players running in a game, but the player who runs the most may not be the best player in the world today."

"This...ha! Brother Ding'an, although I know you are comforting me, why do I enjoy it so much?"

Lao Shi smiled slightly: "No, because what I stated is the facts, of course you can listen to this. Well, Xiangping Xiaoyou, tomorrow is the last game, and this game is important. Let's discuss how to make tomorrow's game."

“Okay…”

It is not recommended to press how the two prepare for the battle. Li Xiangping will only say that after 2 to 0, this makes the entire professional chess world wait for the last game with a complex mentality-----

This game is the first! It is the first one who has won the record in the past year and has only been second only to him!

Although before the game, everyone generally believed that this time it was Gu Dali's play, but to really get to this point, Gu Dali was really reduced to the point by Li Xiangping, which still greatly stimulated many professional chess players.

Whether it is said that it is a rabbit and a fox, or a lips and a teeth apart, these two descriptions may not be very appropriate, but roughly this means. In short, before the third game comes, the professional chess game has begun to be inclined. Most professional chess players hope that Gu Dali can win, as if he wins the game, just to help everyone keep the level of letting first.

But the reactions of ordinary chess fans are completely opposite.

After all, it’s not up to you, so for most people who are watching the fun is not afraid of big things. They always hope that the more disparity the better.

On September 10, this three-game promotion and decline special chess battle between Li Xiangping and Gu Dali was launched in such an atmosphere.

Before the game, Li Xiangping did not pay attention to these external reactions. In his opinion, since he has come to this point, he must strive to win in the last game no matter what. After all, only by winning this game, he thinks this game is meaningful.

But Li Xiangping himself did not expect that it may be that the two sides attached different importance to each other, or that the power of the combination of the two swords was indeed huge. Of course, the biggest possibility was that the opponent Gu Dali's mentality had a subtle change, and he did not seem to have the best level, which led to the progress of this game of chess very smoothly.

Two hours in the morning, both sides made less than 60 moves, but at this moment, the whole situation began to tilt towards the White chess side------If it were the first place today, Li Xiangping thought that the opponent would have no chance now, and Gu Dali would definitely not be able to stop the combination of his and Lao Shi's two swords. It was just that it was a first place, so it was hard to say at this time.

By about 2:00 p.m., after 80 moves were passed by the game------Li Xiangping believed that if Gu Dali followed the rules of the second game, he would most likely need to stand up.

However, at this moment, Gu Dali seemed to suddenly wake up. Although he still couldn't stop the combination of the two swords, the overall quality of the chess was much better than before, and he always maintained a slight advantage with only a little remaining.

At 3:10 pm, the game was about 110 moves. After Li Xiangping carefully examined the chess game and carefully judged the situation, he said to his plug-in:

"Brother Ding'an, otherwise I won't follow your plan and follow my wishes to go somewhere."

"Oh, you recommend this trick so dangerous. Have you really calculated it?"

"Of course it has not been settled," Li Xiangping said with a smile:

"But I just judged that your plan is easy to simplify the situation, but our real empty space is not enough. If we play like this, it is likely to be empty in the end, and there is a very likely game of chess."

Li Xiangping paused and continued, "So I suggest following my plan. This is to give myself a chance, and to give my opponent a chance. What does Brother Ding'an think?"

"Haha, that's OK, listen to you."

At 5:10 pm, 220 moves had passed by the game, and both sides had entered the countdown. At this time, Li Xiangping made the last judgment on the situation in this game.

After confirming that his judgment was correct, Li Xiangping looked up slightly and looked at his opponent Gu Dali with a little embarrassed.

Currently, the white chess board is ahead of the eye. If no other accidents occur, no, Li Xiangping believes that there is no accident at this time. This chess game will be a victory with one goal.

In fact, the result was not beyond Li Xiangping's expectations. At 5:40 pm, Gu Dali, who was holding black, insisted on accepting the last official, but the result was that it could not be changed. He lost the game with the smallest gap again.

"Brother Dali, I'm sorry..."

Of course Li Xiangping wouldn't know. Just half an hour before he silently apologized to Gu Dali in his heart, in the next observation room, Dean Wang and Zhang Wendong Jiu Duan were chatting with Lao Ye, the organizer of the competition.

"Mr. Ye, you won't have only one session in this competition, right?"

"Of course, of course," Lao Ye said to the two with a smile: "Director Wang, Director General, everyone can have the influence of this competition. As long as I am still sitting in this position, of course I still want to continue this competition, but who should I invite next year? Well, let me think about it..."

Zhang Wendong’s Jiu Duan did not make Mr. Ye think too much. At this time, he smiled and said:

"Mr. Ye, have you ever thought about expanding the scale of the competition next year?"

"Ah! Expand the scale..."

"Just invite a few more people," this time Dean Wang spoke, and he sang and said to Zhang Wendong:

"For example, Korean Li, Japanese Zhang Xuyitian, etc., and even Gu Dali lost this year. He can come again next year. You invite a few more people to play chess with Li Xiangping. What does Mr. Ye want to play?"

"Hiss~~~!"

Lao Ye took a deep breath: "Of course I am willing. Of course it is better to invite all these people, but are these people willing to come?"

"If you don't want to do your job," this time it was Zhang Wendong's turn to take over:

"In terms of inviting chess players, the chess institute can help with work. I believe that with this year's competition base, someone will definitely be willing to come next year. I even think that if Li Xiangping has been so strong, this qualification for participation might be very popular. The world's top experts will be proud to be able to participate in this competition."

If you can organize such a competition, Old Ye is of course a chess fan. Therefore, after hearing Zhang Jiuduan's words, his eyes shone: "It's like Mr. Wu Qingyuan's ten-game competition back then. If he is not a first-class expert, he is not qualified to appear on that stage. Chess Academy... The Chess Academy intends to build our event into a similar stage, right?"

President Wang nodded with a smile, Director Zhang also nodded with a smile, and finally Dean Wang said:

"We mean this. Now it depends on whether Mr. Ye has the intention."

"Haha, there is, it's so! But if you want to do such a competition, there is still a lot of work to do..."

Dean Wang waved his hand and interrupted him and continued:

"Of course, specific work is indispensable. We come here today to ask Mr. Ye what he meant. As long as you have this intention, the specific work will be promoted one by one, including the invitation, the specific rules of the competition after expanding the scale, by the way, the prize money and game costs of the competition, etc. We can discuss it one by one. Okay, I think the time is about to end, and the game should be over. Let's prepare for the closing ceremony of the evening. As for expanding the scale, Mr. Ye can have a breather at night. If you want to be more low-key, wait until we come up with a specific charter first. After the matter is more reliable, everything will be as per Mr. Ye's wishes."

"Haha, I have to blow the air first, but I try to be vague and just spy on the outside world's reaction first."

"Haha, this is a safer method. Well, Mr. Ye, let's go here first today. When will we visit the Chess Academy? Let's all of you together."

"Okay, please ask for the Wang Yuan, please ask for the Director Zhang..."

This special chess battle with Gu Dali ended like this. Unfortunately, at the closing ceremony that night, Lao Ye's "blowing" was too vague and did not attract Li Xiangping's attention.

It is understandable that he didn't pay attention, because it is mid-September and the peak season for Go competitions. After the trip to Hunan Province, there are still many games waiting for him:

A week later, the quarterfinals of the "Toyota Cup" were in late September, and the first and second rounds of the "Samsung Cup" were in the first and second rounds of the "Samsung Cup" and then at the end of September and early October, which was the first and second rounds of the "LG Cup".

In addition to international competitions, this year's AFC also entered the final moment. Considering that the team is currently ranked second and he has missed so many rounds ahead, at this last moment of winning the championship, Li Xiangping is certainly embarrassed to miss it again, and he has to be worthy of the high game fee paid by Lao Cai.

So after returning to the capital, Li Xiangping began to be busy. He seemed to be back to the state he won the "Golden Slam" two years ago, and began to make a round trip between China, Japan and South Korea.

Time soon came October 2006. In more than 20 days, Li Xiangping played 9 games, including 5 games in the World Championships, and he was invincible in all competitions and maintained a complete victory.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Li Xiangping had not lost chess this year.

After being defeated by Gu Dali 2-0 last year, he has not lost a single game for more than half a year.

Of course, this is another new record. So after October, "who will be the next player to defeat Li Xiangping" has become a new hot topic in the Go world.
