In early May, before the semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup", the most important match in the world of chess should be the final of the 4th "Yingshi Cup".

In the third game of the final, Chang Hao, who was behind 0-2 in the first two games, played very tough and played a beautiful dragon-slaying game, which also gave people a little hope of a comeback.

On the day of the fourth game of the final, Li Xiangping came to the Chinese Chess Academy and followed the game with all the players from all over the world.

"Brother Ding'an, did you see that? That old man in the wheelchair is the "king" in the Go world in my mind."

Since Mr. Wu Qingyuan has been the chief referee of the "Yingshi Cup" since the first competition, he has never been absent from the finals as long as his physical condition allows.

Of course, although Li Xiangping admired Mr. Wu Qingyuan very much, when he saw that he was surrounded by big players in the Go world, Li Xiangping did not join in. Instead, he mixed with young players such as Gu Dali and Kong Erjie to watch the game.

.

Since the two players who entered the final are both players with a stable chess style, the two of them competed with each other from the beginning of the game, and the chess game also showed an extremely delicate state early on.

It was not until around 3 o'clock in the afternoon that Chang Hao, who was holding white, made a wonderful move, and the young chess players watching the game with Li Xiangping began to cheer:

"Okay! Brother Chang played this move beautifully..."

"Sharp! It can be seen that Brother Chang is in really good condition. With this move, this part should be able to gain 2 moves, right? And this game is played by Brother Chang, so it seems that we should be able to see the decisive game.

....."

Yes, Chang Hao's wonderful move was to dig out 2 meshes like taking chestnuts out of a local fire. Considering that this game has always been a fine chess game, and the black chess piece of "Ying's Cup" has to be attached to 7 and a half meshes, from that time on,

The Chinese research laboratory is full of optimism.

This optimism lasted until 4 pm and 5 pm. Unfortunately, when the game was approaching the end, the maximum overall situation was only the 3-moron official:

"This...! What does Brother Chang mean by this move?"

"It seems, there seems to be one less exchange of orders, right? Well, I guess Brother Chang has fallen into a time panic now. He may be worried about being punished, so he made a mistake while busy..."

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the Go game, especially when facing Li Canghao at his peak. If he makes a mistake in the official stage, it is unlikely that he will not be caught.

Starting from Chang Hao's mistake, and after a series of simple and unpretentious tricks, Li Canghao defeated his opponent's 2 pieces. To be honest, the value of these 2 pieces was really not much, they were only worth 4 eyes.

However, for this game of chess, with these 4 dry moves, it was enough for Li Canghao to win the final victory, and relying on these 4 moves, it was enough for him to win the championship bonus of 400,000 US dollars.

3 to 1, just like in real history, Li Canghao defeated Chang Hao with this score and won the championship of the 4th "Yingshi Cup".

"Brother Ding'an, what do you think of the chess played by the number one player in the chess world today?"

"The style of chess is delicate and extremely precise, but little friend Xiangping, is this the "Ace of Hearts" in the world of Go in your mind?"

"Hahaha, it seems Brother Ding'an is still a little unconvinced? Well, after three days, you should play hard. As long as you pass the next opponent, you should be able to go up and learn from me personally."

Li Xiangping's reaction to Lao Shi was not surprising at all. After all, Li Canghao's chess was just like that, and Lao Shi was not the only one who looked down upon him. Not to mention that Lao Shi had never played chess with him. In this era, even if

Many people who have played chess with Da Li, and even beaten him to pieces, still look down on his style.

"Li Xiangping, why are you giggling there alone? Come here quickly, Mr. Wu wants to see you."

"oh?"

Led by coach Wu of the national junior team, Li Xiangping came to Mr. Wu. After coming, Li Xiangping finally knew what was going on, because the person sitting next to Mr. Wu was Lao Nie, who was talking to Wu.

What are you talking about, sir?

A chessboard was placed in front of them, and there was a chess pattern on the chessboard. This chess pattern was very familiar to Li Xiangping. It was the "variation of turning away from a large avalanche" that he "created".

"You were the first to come up with this change? What a very interesting idea, a genius idea. You are very talented..."

Faced with Mr. Wu's praise, Li Xiangping could only giggle. After all, he actually knew about such a "dog trick" and didn't know why. After the Go AI made this change, of course he would know how to use it, but

Li Xiangping actually had no idea about the chess theory contained in this, or the logical relationship between these moves.

Since he didn't know anything, of course he could only giggle.

Li Xiangping didn't know what to say, but Lao Nie didn't know what was going on today. Today was obviously the final of the "Ying Cup", but he kept talking about Li Xiangping's chess:

"By the way, Mr. Wu, he just played a game of chess recently, and I would like to ask you to come and control the eyes..."

What Lao Nie put on the chessboard was the one that defeated Yamada Kisanio in the quarterfinals:

"Haha, Mr. Wu, what do you think of this "point rush" step? Is it a bit like your style?"

In fact, Li Xiangping knew when Lao Nie was showing off that he definitely wanted Mr. Wu to see that "jumping" step.

Sure enough, after seeing that move, Mr. Wu's eyes lit up. At this time, he finally forgave Li Xiangping seriously, even more seriously than before when he "turned away from the avalanche and made a change first".

"Prodigy pill! Haha, congratulations Mr. Nie, a prodigy pill finally appeared in China."

Since Mr. Wu was old after all, everyone did not communicate for long. After he left these words, the nursing staff took him down to rest.

"Haha, brother Ding'an, did you hear that Mr. Wu praised you? The "king" in the Go world praised you. He said you are also a prodigy."

"What prodigy bowl? The bowl that the prodigy used?"

So Li Xiangping had to talk to Lao Shike again. After Mr. Wu Qingyuan came to Japan, there were "three pills" in the Japanese Go world: Wu Qingyuan, the "Prodigy Pill", Kitani Minoru, the "Knight Pill", and Chen Er, Maeda, the "Kidong Pill"

.

"So Brother Ding'an, "Shendong Maru" is actually his own nickname. Now that he says you are also "Shendong Wan", he is actually praising you for having a talent that is not inferior to his. So Brother Ding'an, you must live up to your expectations.

, at least in the game a few days later, you must win it for me..."

Time came to mid-May, and the day of the "Samsung Cup" semi-finals finally arrived. The competition was still held in South Korea. Therefore, on the first day of the competition, Li Xiangping went to South Korea again, but this time it was not Lao Nie who led the team.

, but was replaced by the national team leader Hua. In addition, in order to show its attention, the Chinese Chess Academy also sent Shao Weigang, the ninth-dan captain of the national Go team, to accompany him.

After all, it has reached the semi-final stage, so this competition has attracted widespread attention in the world chess world, especially the third round of chess between Li Xiangping vs. Liu Changhe - because Li Xiangping is currently an amateur chess player, and

Liu Changhe is also an amateur Go player. He turned professional after winning the runner-up in the World Amateur Go Championship at the age of 18.

Therefore, this game is nicknamed by many chess fans as "the showdown between the strongest amateur chess players".

How will such a duel play out? What topics will arise?

It seems that everyone was not disappointed from the beginning of the first game.

In the first game, Li Xiangping guessed the black chess piece. At about 10:30 in the morning, when the first chess board was just sent to the Chinese Chess Academy, Gu Dali, who came to watch the game early in the morning, couldn't sit still.

He started looking for someone in the chess academy, and he was looking for Kong Erjie:
