Chapter 801 The first crown in the post-Li Xiangping era
After the trip to Japan, the time soon entered August 2008.
This August this year, the entire time undoubtedly belongs to the Beijing Olympics. As the opening ceremony on August 8 approaches, any media is spreading around the world and is related to the Olympics.
However, before that, there was also an important game in the Go world, which was the "Fujitsu Cup" final in the first weekend in August, with Chinese Gu Dali vs. South Korea's Lee Sedol.
There is no doubt that these two "lifelong rivals" competed for the first world champion in the "post-Li Xiangping era" and attracted great attention from the professional chess world. Moreover, since Li Xiangping did not participate, the analysis and prediction reports related to it before the game also increased in geometric multiples------
When Li Xiangping ruled the world chess world, especially in the past two years, there were actually very few analytical and predictive posts on the Internet. Anyway, in all important competitions, almost every important competition, public opinion one-sidedly believes that Li Xiangping will definitely win. At most, when there is a chess game, people will discuss whether Li Xiangping's opponent can grab a game without being sealed. They rarely think about whether Li Xiangping will lose in the chess game-------
If someone dares to predict that Li Xiangping will lose the game, he will basically be regarded as a sensational clown.
But this time the situation is different.
Gu Dali vs Lee Sedol, the two are not only of the same age, one was born on February 3rd and the other was born on March 2nd, the so-called "eight-character conflict".
And the two have won one championship so far, and even though their historical record is still, in the previous 29 matches, Gu Dali led by 15 wins and 14 losses.
However, although Gu Dali is slightly better in terms of record, it seems that Xiao Li won more key games when it comes to the importance of the game. Therefore, everyone believes that the encounter between the two this time is definitely a even-match.
A true even battle.
Since it seems so evenly matched, the analysis and prediction before the game will definitely be indispensable. After returning to the capital, Li Xiangping noticed an interesting phenomenon. Among all the analysis and prediction posts, Koreans are a little more optimistic about Lee Sedol, while Chinese media support Gu Dali-----
Of course, this is also a very normal phenomenon, and even this is the most normal phenomenon. For the prediction of competitive competitions, of course you have to support yourself. Is it better to be like those public officials these days? Anyway, the foreign moon is rounder.
The most important argument for Koreans to support Xiao Li is to use more important competitions in the past, believing that "Xiao Li is more reliable at critical moments", so they think that Xiao Li has a slightly greater chance of winning.
As for the Chinese media, this time, we found a very unique angle. Lao Xie and Zhang Da reporters wrote an article that said: Xiao Li's champion was already 8 years ago in 2000. At that time, Li Xiangping had not made his debut. Then, as soon as Li Xiangping debuted, Xiao Li was quickly returned to his original form. Not only did he never win the world championship, but he was also beaten up by Li Xiangping to the ground. He only won only 2 sets in more than 30 sets.
On the other hand, Gu Dali is different. His only champion was not only snatched from Li Xiangping, but also a clean win that time. He was the first person to win Li Xiangping in the chess world today.
Not only that, compared with Gu Dali and Li Xiangping's record of fighting, it was much better than Lee Sedol. Not only did they win a lot more games, but they also had a stalemate in the past few years. It was not until after the 20 sets that Li Xiangping finally opened up the gap.
Therefore, Chinese media took Li Xiangping as a reference and analyzed from this perspective that Gu Dali was stronger than Lee Sedol, and his chances of winning this time should be greater.
Since Li Xiangping was mentioned, before the two contestants went to Japan finals, someone would naturally ask Li Xiangping for his opinion.
Li Xiangping always practices Tai Chi in this regard.
Although as a compatriot, he certainly firmly supported Gu Dali when he made his public statement, he only said words like "I hope Gu Ge can win" and "Gu Ge has the strength to win anyone". However, when it comes to specific predictions, Li Xiangping, who is very fond of feathers, refuses to speak, and anyone is vague in asking questions.
The final day is coming soon. The day before the competition, Gu Dali, under the leadership of the new Dean Hua, went to Japan to participate. On this day, Li Xiangping received a call from Lao Nie:
"Xiangping, you go to CCTV tomorrow afternoon and come with me to explain this game of chess."
"ah?!"
To be honest, Li Xiangping didn't want to go. After all, if he had Lao Nie in chess, no matter how strong he was, he would be a supporting role. However, there was no way. When he debuted, he was promoted so much by Lao Nie and he even held a disciple's courtesy to others, so when he spoke, Li Xiangping had no reason to refuse.
So on the afternoon of the second day, Li Xiangping went to the China Chess Academy first because he knew that CCTV's live broadcast started at 4 pm, and before that, Lao Nie would definitely go to the Chess Academy to do his homework.
After arriving at the chess academy, Li Xiangping found that Lao Nie was indeed waiting there, and he also knew that he was not the only one who was the big market commentator in the afternoon, but also the gold medal supporting actor Chen Yingchu Duan.
At around 3 o'clock, three people set out to go to the chess academy. At this time, Japan's actual combat had reached more than 100 moves. Lao Nie was very optimistic when he went to CCTV:
"Haha, what has Xiao Li made to do? It should be fine to win it vigorously. Xiangping, don't you think so?"
"oh."
Li Xiangping did not reply to Lao Nie's words. He was still recalling the last move he saw before leaving the chess academy----
That was the 116th move from Xiao Li to the whole game. That move was the "zombie flow" like Lee Sedol's signature, and it was a very classic, very hidden and very difficult "zombie flow".
How difficult is it? Nearly 20 minutes have passed since it was so difficult. Even Li Xiangping himself has not thought of a very ideal cracking method, so Li Xiangping still decided to remain silent about Lao Nie's optimism.
After the lecture was held at CCTV, although the main speaker was of course Lao Nie, he was also the real protagonist of the chess trio, but when he talked about Xiao Li's classic signboard action, the protagonist unknowingly changed people, which also allowed chess fans who watched the live broadcast to appreciate the style of the number one master in the chess world today.
Because Li Xiangping's explanation is different from Lao Nie, Lao Nie dares to speak and speak clearly, especially his overall view is very strong, and he analyzes any situation very clearly. This is a strength that many other professional chess players cannot reach.
Li Xiangping's explanation is a bit like seeing human nature. He is vaguely the moves of the two opponents are taken seriously in his control, and he guessed every move and every move.
"…….Teacher Nie, in fact, Xiao Li's hand is not a good chess, and the real intention of this hand should be like this..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiangping put three reference pictures on the big chessboard:
"No matter which of these three pictures is played, the White Chess will be satisfied. It can also be considered that Xiao Li's conspiracy will succeed. Why do I say that the conspiracy will succeed? Because facing this move Bai 116, I think it can be dealt with like this..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiangping put out three more reference pictures. After putting out these three pictures, Li Xiangping pretended to be very modest and asked:
"Teacher Nie, what do you think of these pictures?"
“Ahhh….”
To be honest, Lao Nie was actually a little speechless at that time, because before that, he didn't count the three cracked images, even the previous three "conspiracy images" were still savoring.
However, after all, Old Nie is an old man. Seeing this, he hurriedly concealed:
"Yes, yes, chess friends in front of the TV have seen it. Why did I invite Xiangping here today? That's the reason. He took Xiao Li with one accurate... But today it was not Xiangping playing chess, but Gu Dali. Let's continue to look down and look down... See how Gu Dali will deal with it again..."
Unfortunately, Gu Dali was finally caught in the trap today. He did not draw one of the three cracked images provided by Li Xiangping, but instead plunged into Xiao Li's conspiracy.
Although the changes in actual combat have been made by three conspiracy plans as the one with the least losses, the three interpreters have already understood it, and even the chess fans who watched the live broadcast have already understood it: Gu Dali is already in danger today.
At around 5:40 pm, the three lecturers began to make summary in the CCTV studio, but today's summary was boring and unaccustomed to it.
Thinking about it, in the past, when Li Xiangping was there, Old Nie rarely made a summary of losing chess. Now, in the first battle in the "post-Li Xiangping era", he was forced to make a summary of losing chess. Of course, this made Old Nie very unhappy. Old Nie, who was unhappy, was of course unrestrained and criticized his disciples in the studio.
At around 5 pm Beijing time, 288 moves were taken in the whole game, Lee Sedol defeated Gu Dali with a clear advantage, so that he won the first championship of the "post-Li Xiangping era".
Old Nie was cursing there, but Li Xiangping actually doesn't care. After all, at the same stage in real history, Xiao Li has already won more than 10 world champions. Today, this is the second one. He has been suppressed quite fiercely by himself. So from Li Xiangping's perspective, he certainly would not take these or two championships too seriously.
After the live broadcast ended, the Olympics were coming soon, and Li Xiangping also decided not to worry about him for the rest. It is rare to hold the Olympics at home. I will talk about everything after watching the Olympics in the past half month.
Don’t forget that because he participated in the torch relay before, Li Xiangping had already received tickets for the opening ceremony, and his tickets were in a very good position, which was the most forward stand, which was the same stand as the leaders of the Party and the country.
However, Li Xiangping was looking forward to the opening of the Olympics, but when August 8 approached, he found that his girlfriend's condition seemed a little wrong, and she looked unsteady for several days.
Li Xiangping didn't care at first, but he thought Yaya was caring about her scolding on the Internet-----
You should know that after the two made their relationship public a few months ago, since Li Xiangping was already a celebrity, and a celebrity with a good social image and a very rich person, Yaya is still a little transparent person now, which led to the fact that the two not only did not receive much blessing, but were unfavorable by the outside world.
Especially Yaya, she was scolded a lot, and most of the voices on the Internet said that she was not worthy of Li Xiangping.
Some people even said that she was a scheming bitch and seducing Li Xiangping was impure in motives.
Of course, Li Xiangping knew the pressure his girlfriend was facing, especially her girlfriend was a little inferior. Now that she was told on the Internet, it is understandable that she was in such a state of absent-mindedness.
So Li Xiangping smiled and comforted:
"Sister Yaya, don't do this, so I asked me to say, you should work hard now and become famous as soon as possible. You must believe that when you become famous, everyone will not scold you from now on, but will scold me in the reverse way."
Yaya rolled her eyes: "Go to you."
Li Xiangping laughed and thought to himself that I was right. Well, as for the specific situation, you can refer to Yaya and her husband in real history.
However, after comforting her girlfriend, Li Xiangping found that the situation had not been relieved. Yaya was still in a state of distractedness and repeatedly mentioned the opening day of the Olympic Games.
At the beginning, Li Xiangping hadn't reacted yet, but when Yaya mentioned too much, he, the straight man of steel, finally came to his senses:
Chapter completed!
