Chapter 829 Lao Shi goes alone
By defeating Xiao Li with a "return but not returning", Li Xiangping once again explained to the world what "the strong one is lucky". Of course, when he was interviewed after the game, Li Xiangping was still humble and polite, and tried hard to maintain his good character as a "humble gentleman":
"I believe everyone has watched the competition process," Li Xiangping said to the reporters around him with a smile:
"Today, this game of chess was extremely lucky, and it can be said that it was a game of chess..."
As soon as Li Xiangping said this, he was interrupted by Lao Xie: "Xiangping, you say this every time, please, can you change the new word this time?"
Lao Xie's words attracted a burst of laughter from reporters, and Li Xiangping laughed himself, and he continued happily:
"No, there are no new words this time. If I said this before, I might be polite, today I am sincere from the bottom of my heart. I am dissatisfied with everyone. Don't think that the score has become 8 to 1 now, but from a purely technical perspective, I personally think that it is still not enough for Gu Ge Xiao Li and others to start. Just like today's game of chess, I have been fighting hard almost the whole time, and I only rely on a low-level mistake from the opponent to turn the tables."
At this time, Lao Jia asked:
"Since there is such a huge difference in score, what do you think you are winning in Xiangping?"
"I actually answered this question last year," Li Xiangping continued to talk with the best demeanor he thought:
"I really have no technical advantages in playing this kind of confrontation game, but my psychological advantages are quite large. Anyway, for me, losing is normal, and winning is a profit, there is no pressure at all, and there is no psychological burden, which makes me relatively relaxed. On the other hand, others are different, let’s not talk about anything else, let’s take today’s game as an example. Everyone knows that Xiao Li rarely uses spoons, right? But in today’s game, he appeared such a simple giant spoon. Of course, there is no other explanation. It is entirely because of excessive psychological pressure."
"Xiangping, now there is only one last game of chess against Dali. If you can still win, it would be a miracle. One ten-game chess reduces the opponent by two levels in a row. How about it? Do you have the confidence to create miracles?"
"I still have the point of view just now. Whether a miracle is not in me, but in my opponent."
Li Xiangping paused and continued:
"In terms of technology, I know that I will definitely not let Gu Ge be the first, but I have completely let go now, and I will definitely do my best the day after tomorrow. So it depends on whether Gu Ge can perform normally. In fact, with Gu Ge's level, he doesn't need to perform at all. As long as he performs normally, there will be no miracles."
After dealing with the reporter in a steady manner, Li Xiangping made an excuse that he was a little tired and left casually.
After dinner, Li Xiangping began to discuss the game against Gu Dali with the plug-in. It was the last game. Of course, Li Xiangping also wanted to start and end well. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Lao Shi said first:
"My friend Xiangping, I should have come to the last game, right?"
"Oh, Brother Ding'an wants to go? Of course it's okay. Speaking of which, I have dominated 6 games, but you have only won 3 games. It's just right for you to dominate this game."
"No, no, I mean, how about you let me play this last game alone?"
"ah?!"
Li Xiangping was stunned when he heard this.
You should know that in the first nine sets, although the two of them used their swords to combine each other, they didn't say anything to death every time, and they would still discuss it when it was time to discuss it.
This is the first time this year that I have requested to go alone.
"Why, Brother Ding'an is sure to let Dali first?"
"Of course there is no grasp," Lao Shi smiled and said, "If this person performs normally, I think he will have a chance of winning at most 30 to 40%.
Old Schrön paused and continued, "But you and I both know that if you really want to fight dogs, letting human chess players start first is the most basic requirement."
Speaking of this, he paused again: "Anyway, we have already led so much this time, so I think we can try to let it go alone, so let's start with this set."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Li Xiangping laughed when he heard this: "Since Brother Ding'an said that, what else can I say? Okay, you come alone, but Brother Ding'an, this game is a bit expensive. You know, if we win, then according to the pre-match agreement, we will only enjoy the bonus, and the team will only receive a little game fee. I will calculate... The winning or losing of this game is nearly 4 million, which is too expensive. Brother Ding'an has to make a good move and strive to win back the money."
Old Shisen smiled and said, "You still care about this little money? I see how rich you are. Even my brother Zhaolin is willing to give in."
"Caring, how could I not care about money?" Li Xiangping pretended to shake his head and sighed:
"I still don't understand me after seeing it. Let me tell you the truth. Actually, I have been a wealthy fan since I was a child. Who doesn't like the money of money?"
Since he decided that Lao Shi would do his job alone, of course there was nothing to discuss. As for how Lao Shi wanted to get rid of Li Xiangping, he didn't ask. He made up his mind to watch the show.
So after a few simple conversations, Li Xiangping was bored and he began to visit him everywhere.
During the game, it would be bad to visit the opponent, so after Li Xiangping walked around, he visited the reporter. After he arrived at the reporter Zhang Da’s room, he found that Xie Lao Jia and others were there, and they were chatting happily.
Li Xiangping naturally pushed the door open and entered: "What are you talking about?"
"We're talking about the just-concluded Japanese chess jihad."
Seeing Li Xiangping come in, Zhang Da reporter smiled and said, "Xiangping, do you know who won by Changxu and Jingshan today?"
"Oh, who won?"
Today is the final of the Japanese chess holy war seven games. Of course, Li Xiangping doesn't know about today's results, but he still knows the previous process:
As soon as Iyama Komasato came up, he was 3-1. Since Zhang Xu was a "celebrity" in office this year, Iyama was a "Honinbo". If anyone grabs the "chess saint", then of course, he will be the undisputed number one person in the Japanese chess world.
Because Iyama was 3-1, just when everyone thought that the Japanese chess world would enter the "Iyama era", Zhang Xu suddenly launched a Jedi counterattack. After he defeated Li Xiangping in the Huanghelou and returned to China, he had already won two consecutive games, and he ushered in the decisive game from yesterday (the final of the Japanese chess jihad war is a two-day system, and the game started yesterday and ended today)
"Zhang Xu won, he has maintained his position as the number one player in the Japanese chess world."
After Lao Xie answered, he continued to laugh:
"You can't say that Zhang Xu, the chess saint, really has your contribution to Xiangping. Even Zhang Xu himself publicly thanked you in an interview after the game, saying that the battle in Huanghe Tower not only improved his morale, but also enhanced his confidence, and his chess skills have improved. I feel that many things I didn't understand before have become enlightened now."
"Haha, exaggerated, you can suddenly become enlightened after winning one game? OK, he's better come back next year, I can make him suddenly enlightened again."
Of course, Li Xiangping didn't believe the word "suddenly enlightened", but Li Xiangping completely believed the statement of "enhancing confidence".
After all, humans are high-level animals with emotions, so Li Xiangping has always believed that things like "confidence" and "morality" should not be believed in all or disbelief.
Totally believe that these things are metaphysics.
But if you don’t believe it at all, there are many phenomena in professional competitions that cannot be explained.
For example, if we analyze it from a technical perspective, the two are obviously similar, but Li is better than the middle and back market, but Chang Hao has the advantage in the middle and front markets, but the two's battle records are completely disproportionate, and they don't seem to be at the same level at all.
Similar situations include Ke Shaoxia and Han Xiaoshen in later generations. Since dogs have been born in later generations, when it comes to overlapping with dog moves, it is obvious that Korean Xiaoshen is much higher (this is also the main reason why many people in later generations think that Xiaoshen is the number one master), but looking at the two's battle records, it is obvious that Ke Shaoxia won more in major competitions.
All of this, these problems that cannot be explained simply from a technical level, are of course related to human psychology and emotions.
"Hehe, in fact, if you really want to say it, the game with Zhang Xu has also gained a lot. It is no exaggeration to say that the 9 chess game so far has only gained the most." -------
Of course, Li Xiangping's words were from the bottom of his heart. After all, in that game, he made a "maybe more than a dog's move."
Although it is still "suspected" now, neither he nor Lao Shi has studied it thoroughly, but as Lao Shi said, because of that chess, it can be considered that the dawn of defeating the dog has begun to appear.
But although Li Xiangping came from the heart, others obviously misunderstood. After he said this, everyone laughed at him and said that he didn't expect Li Xiangping to hold such a grudge. He was not satisfied with losing only 1 game in 9 games, and he was still the most impressed by the losing game. Did he think about Zhang Xu at this time?
Well, Li Xiangping certainly couldn't refute the reporters' jokes. After all, the secret of such a time traveler cannot be clearly explained to outsiders, so after a brief chat with the reporter, Li Xiangping immediately surrendered.
After a day off, the last game of this special tenth game finally came.
The total budget for this year's competition is as high as 10 million, and the bonus distribution rules are basically the same as last year:
Each game player plays, he or she has a basic game fee of 100,000 yuan, and the others are all considered a winning or losing bonus.
According to last year's regulations, if the most extreme situation occurs, that is, one side is 10 to 0 or 9 to 1, the loser will have no bonus and only the basic game fee.
No one expected before the game that such an extreme situation could really occur this year, so whether Gu Dali can withstand the impact of Li Xiangping still attracted great attention from the professional chess world.
At 9:55 am on the day of the game, Li Xiangping walked into the game room with a relaxed expression:
"Hehe, brother Ding'an, come on."
Chapter completed!
