At early 5 o'clock in the afternoon, after Li Xiangping fought with the dog for more than 7 hours, he finally lost, losing by 3 and a half eyes, so the total score was 1 to 2.

Well, both sides played more than 280 moves in this game. Originally, more than an hour ago, when the dog made that "machine-specific move", Li Xiangping knew that the game was hopeless.

It was just that Lao Shi said that the opportunity to fight with dogs was rare, and he could hold on as long as he could. Quan regarded it as a rare opportunity for military training, so Li Xiangping persisted until the end.

But in the later stage of the game, Li Xiangping, who had completely put aside the outcome, played to a high level. Later, he tried his best to do everything on the chessboard, and used all kinds of incredible ways to disrupt the game.

Li Xiangping's performance also aroused the admiration of all the experts watching. They all said that this is just a dog. If it were any human expert, he would not be able to escape the level of disruption faced by Li Xiangping.

You can't escape the fifteenth grade in the first grade of junior high school, and there is a high probability that you will not be able to escape Li Xiangping's murderous hand.

It's a pity that dogs are dogs, and they are as immobile as a mountain. Therefore, Li Xiangping's disruptive methods may be effective for human chess players, but they are of no use in front of dogs.

The reason why this game of chess was only lost by 3 and a half points was because when the overall situation was decided, the dog began to operate safely and made a small concession in the small official stage, which showed the gap in the final game.

After the game, Li Xiangping continued to sit in his seat in a daze for a while.

However, it was not quite the same as the daze he felt after losing the first game. Because he was reversed, Li Xiangping was really heartbroken after losing.

But Li Xiangping was different today. Although he was depressed after losing chess, his daze today was just a normal adjustment. He didn't feel particularly sad or sad.

And his state of affairs is a bit strange even to himself. You must know that Li Xiangping has been a professional chess player for more than ten years. He knows that professional chess players usually have two ways to lose chess that are the most uncomfortable.

One way is to lose like the way he did in the first game, feeling that his advantage was reversed.

The other kind is that there is actually no chance of winning the game at all. The feeling of powerlessness or even despair can also make people extremely painful.

Looking at the content of this game, it is obviously very similar to the second way of losing. In the past 7 hours or so, Li Xiangping really did not find any chance to win.

So under normal circumstances, even if Li Xiangping was not completely desperate, he should at least feel a deep sense of frustration.

However, it is strange that Li Xiangping does not have it today.

Not only that, in fact, in the previous competition, in the deepest part of Li Xiangping's heart, he had always harbored a deep fear of dogs. He kept using the "Spiritual Victory Method" to cheer himself up. In fact, it was nothing more than

Just cover up that fear.

But today was a bit strange. At the end of the game, Li Xiangping suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed----

Not the kind of relief that comes from "getting relief", but the kind of relief that makes fear completely disappear!

Li Xiangping felt strange at that time. He thought to himself that he was really different from ordinary people. Why did he feel so relaxed when he opposed it when he should be desperate?

Li Xiangping communicated with the plug-in immediately:

"Hey, brother Ding'an, it's a little strange today. Why do I feel so relaxed after losing such a game? I feel like I'm not afraid of dogs at all. What do you think is going on?"

"Ah! Little friend Xiangping also feels very relaxed?"

"Ah!? Haha, brother Ding'an, are you also..."

"However, after losing this game, I feel that the fear in my heart has completely disappeared. I am not afraid of the jokes of the little friend Xiangping. I am even a little impatient for the next game, and I have an inexplicable confidence that I will never play against a machine again. If that were the case, this situation would definitely not have happened today.”

"……."

Li Xiangping had nothing to say. He thought to himself that it was true that the whole family refused to enter the same house. No wonder Lao Shi came to find him 16 years ago. I dared to believe that he and he really had a "bad rapport". Even this kind of inexplicable was completely different. And common sense emotions can actually occur at the same time.

Li Xiangping has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The more unreasonable things are, the more he wants to think about it. After returning home after the game, Li Xiangping continued to think, and finally he found a barely reasonable explanation.

"Well, most of human fear comes from the unknown..." "

Hey, what is little Xiangping kid talking to himself?"

"I suddenly understood why we were suddenly not afraid of dogs after three sets,"

Li Xiangping smiled and said to Lao Shi:

"When I was in college, a philosophy professor told me that most of the sources of human fear come from the unknown, and our previous fear of dogs should also come from this unknown, right? Although we study dog ​​tricks It has been more than ten years, but because I have never fought against them, I always feel that they are unfathomable and have a kind of unfathomable fear, but it is different now,"

Li Xiangping paused and continued to talk to the plug-in: "Through the first three games, especially today's game, we can really see the style of the dog. Although the dog is powerful, after this game, we can't be considered Have we found the bottom of the dog? It should be this sense of solidity that has eliminated our fear. Brother Ding'an, do you think so?"

"hehe."

Lao Shi chuckled, but seemed not to be interested in such a topic, and turned to other things:

"Okay, little friend Xiangping, the next game will be held in three days, right? Then we have to leave early tomorrow morning, so let's hurry up now and use the help of that domestic dog to see how we fare in today's game. Where to lose."

"OK."

Li Xiangping is still very serious about his profession, so next, the two used the "unique skills" developed by Goose Factory to conduct a detailed review of today's game.

After the two of them studied for more than an hour, Lao Shi sighed and said:

"Oh~~ Little friend Xiangping, I'm sorry today. It's my fault. If it hadn't been for my wrong recommendation, I wouldn't have lost so badly today."

"Haha, brother Ding'an, there is no need to blame yourself. In the final analysis, it is still based on fear. I believe that as long as the fear of dogs is completely eliminated, mistakes like today will not be made again."--------

After the two showed today's game to "Jue Yi", "Jue Yi" believed that White's biggest problem move today was the "three-way support" move recommended by Lao Shi in the game.

No, it should be the somewhat damaging exchange suggested by Lao Shi before "Three Roads". "Jueyi" believed that when the exchange was completed, White would have no chance.

On the contrary, it is the exchange that Li Xiangping thought of before. "Jue Yi" thinks that change is feasible, and believes that if the actual battle is carried out according to that, the winning rates of the black and white sides will be very close, and the winning rate difference will always be within 5%, so who will win? Negative is really unknown.

During the daytime game, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi were worried that the exchange might not be possible, so they did not choose that change.

However, the change diagram provided by "Jue Yi" proves that it doesn't matter even if the exchange cannot be made, because if "Afa Yuan" wants to prevent such an exchange, then it must take a loss to prevent it.

Once "Afa Yuan" made a loss first, "Jueyi" made another change. It believed that both sides could fight, and the winning rate at that time was basically the same for both sides.

It must be admitted that during the daytime game, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi did not expect the changes provided by "Jue Yi". But to be fair, this change was not difficult. Li Xiangping believed that as long as he remained calm, as long as there was no opponent,

Dogs are afraid. As long as they don’t misjudge the situation due to fear, they should be able to detect the change.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the real reason for defeat in today's game of chess is actually secondary to the technical aspects. I lost due to unique human emotions.

Because of the insurmountable fear, I first misjudged the situation, and then I became a little rash and focused on seizing the dog's "complexity critical point" weakness. Only then did I make that choice in actual combat.

"Okay, brother Ding'an, I hear your voice sounds a little tired. Have you not fully recovered yet? You have to pay attention to your maintenance. We have finally eliminated our fear now. It's time to have a big fight with the dog."

If something goes wrong for you at this juncture, I don’t know who to cry to."

"Haha, it doesn't matter..."

Well, since Lao Shi said this, considering that he is an honest man in every aspect and has basically never lied to himself for more than ten years, he really seems to be very weak now. Not only is he weak when speaking, but he is even a little weak.

However, Li Xiangping still didn't care at this time. He had a good sleep and then rushed to Pinghu in Zhejiang Province the next day to prepare for the next competition.

When Li Xiangping left, there were still a large number of media reporters and even a large number of chess fans accompanying him.

After losing the third game, the direction of public opinion completely changed. Seeing the way Li Xiangping lost in the third game, even the most staunch "Fine Arts fans" have now been shaken, thinking that in the face of the powerful Go AI

, Li Xiangping should be the next Don Quixote-style tragic figure.

But Li Xiangping himself was full of confidence.

Well, it's not the kind of confidence that he will win, but more confidence than ever before. Li Xiangping faced the fourth game in this state.

On the day of the competition, when Li Xiangping was about to enter the arena, there were still all kinds of sprinters aimed at him:

"Haha, this game hasn't started yet. What do you want me to say now? All I can say now is that this game is not over yet."

Well, our Chinese language is broad and profound.

What Li Xiangping said was of course the truth. After five rounds of chess, the score was 2 to 1 in the first three games, so of course the game is not over yet.

But from another perspective, Li Xiangping actually expressed his confidence in this sentence.

It's a pity that not many people can understand it at this time.

Except for Lao Shi, no one could understand Li Xiangping's mood when he said these words.

In the fourth game, it was Li Xiangping's turn to take charge of black again. Today, considering that his mentality was completely different, Li Xiangping did not choose the "two consecutive stars" he was most familiar with to start, but chose a dog.

A very classic routine from the Dog Age:

"Wrong small eyes and two high-jumping horns". On the contrary, the white dog responds to all changes by remaining unchanged. The third generation of dogs chose "two consecutive stars" to deal with it.

The first story of this chess game appeared about 40 minutes into the game. At this time, due to Li Xiangping's caution, the game progress was quite slow. So far, there are only 24 chess moves on the board.

However, after seeing the previous 20 moves, especially the changes that developed from the "small eye and two high jumps", Li Xiangping felt an unusually familiar feeling.

After trying his best to recall it, he said to himself in surprise:

"Hey, brother Ding'an, this is the beginning... this is the beginning..."

"Haha, I am also very familiar with it. A few days ago, we studied the 19 chess games in which the third-generation dog lost to the second-generation dog, but today's opening is very similar to one of them."

"Haha, that's it." Because he was in a happy mood, Li Xiangping also joked with Lao Shi: "Brother Ding'an, I can assure you that today's start is purely coincidental and I really didn't do it intentionally.
Chapter completed!
