MTL - Go Legend-Chapter 836 grab the headlines

   Chapter 836 Headlines

   Two weeks passed quickly. In late December, Li Xiangpinghui and Chen Xiaoqiang went to Yongcheng in the Central Plains to participate in this year's "Celebrity Battle" Wufan Chess Challenge.

   At the same time, another national player, Kong Erjie, also flew to Seoul, South Korea to compete with Japanese chess player Zhang Xu for this year's "Samsung Cup".

  The "Samsung Cup" is a world competition, and the "Celebrity Battle" is only a domestic title battle, so despite the appearance of Li Xiangping, the attraction is still lower than the other side.

   Of course, it is also Li Xiangping, so there are still some iron fans, such as Lao Xie and Zhang Da reporters, the task of going to South Korea for interviews was handed over to colleagues, but they followed Li Xiangping to Yongcheng in the Central Plains Province.

   This is a city located in the junction of the four provinces of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui. Although it has a long history, it is not very famous. To be honest, Li Xiangping knew this place, in fact, it was because of Go—

   In the previous life, this place also sponsored the Chinese Go Celebrity Tournament, but the time seems to be a few years later.

   To tell the truth, Li Xiangping has always believed that the "Tongli Cup" like Tianyuan Battle and the "Yongcheng Cup" like Celebrity Battle are the most suitable for Chinese Go.

   This model may be more effective than directly seeking corporate sponsorship.

  Korea's games are basically sponsored by companies directly, so you can see that South Korea's Go tournaments are actually the most unstable.

At the peak of Go more than ten years ago in Korea, they had as many as 16 domestic titles, and Da Li could win nearly 10 domestic titles in his time. However, most of these games came and went faster, and the short-lived events were very important. Many, if it weren't for South Korea's support of a few chaebols, it is estimated that professional chess players ranked after 20 would not have played chess at all.

  Japanese Go is another way. They rely on several major news groups in China, so they are called "news chess battles".

   This road will be relatively stable. For example, in the real history, the "Fujitsu Cup" relying on the enterprise has died out, but the seven major news chess battles in China are still relatively stable.

   As for the country, considering the characteristics of our country's vast territory and abundant resources, it may be that the "Tongli Cup" model is the most suitable for our country's national conditions.

   It’s just that this model is actually very similar to the so-called “cultural tourism projects” in the real estate industry. The operation of such projects has a characteristic. Only by making a steady and long-term plan can it be successful. Do not rush for quick success.

  Li Xiangping was very impressed by one thing in his previous life. Once he went to sell a copy of "Go World", and that issue of "World" happened to report the news of the final of the "Celebrity Battle".

   Well, the "celebrity" at that time was Jiang Weijie, the young player of later generations, the challenger was Kong Erjie, and in the end it was Xiaojiang who defeated Kong Er to defend the title of "celebrity".

When Li Xiangping saw the photo of the two opponents playing chess in Hanfu, Li Xiangping felt a "squeak" in his heart, thinking that the local leadership was probably changed. How could a Go game be so perfunctory? , the Hanfu worn by "Jiang Mingming" doesn't seem to fit at all—

Of course, Li Xiangping is not interested in checking whether the local leadership has been replaced, but it is indeed the last "Yongcheng Cup". From the second year, although the celebrity battle is still in place, the sponsors have changed again. people.

  Why is Li Xiangping never optimistic about any "cultural tourism projects"? This is a very important reason.

For example, some "characteristic town" projects in later generations are standard cultural tourism projects. However, among these projects, except for a few economically developed areas, you can still play. The second year was flat, then it started to lose money in the third year, and the fourth year was waiting to prepare for bankruptcy and liquidation, or to promote a restart. --

   The above situation is already good, at least it can be prosperous for a year, and there are quite a few of them. In fact, they have been struggling there since they were built.

   Of course, although the "Yongcheng Cup" in real history disappeared quickly, it is now the first session, so the local government is still very warm to Li Xiangping and his party, and they are very thoughtful.

   On the official match day the next day, Li Xiangping and Chen Xiaoqiang changed into Hanfu with the help of others, and then walked into the game room wearing Hanfu.

   Obviously, before this game, not many people really paid attention to the outcome of the game——

  Otherwise, it wouldn't be clear, but now only the schedule of the first 3 games has been determined. Therefore, when the game starts, the content of the game will not be as concerned as the clothes worn by the two opponents.

   For example, Lao Xie and Zhang Da reporters, in addition to taking some pictures of the game room, they mainly brushed the chess records sent back from Korea.

   It wasn't until after 4 p.m., when the match between Li Xiangping and Chen Xiaoqiang had passed 170 hands, that the two reporters looked at each other—

   Because they have seen it clearly: Li Xiangping seems to be losing today.

  Yes, Li Xiangping, who had just dropped the World Team to 2, seems to be losing to Chen Xiaoqiang in the first game.

   lost to Chen Xiaoqiang, who was the first to publicly admit that he was willing to accept 2 pieces.

And this time the plot did not reverse. At around 4:50 p.m., when Chen Xiaoqiang, who was in the black, fell to the 197th overall move, Li Xiangping saw that he was indeed powerless, but he was very graceful and calm. He stretched out his hand to his number one younger brother:

   "Hehe, I lost, Xiaoqiang is so good now..."

  Well, Li Xiangping is really calm, because he is very aware of his failure--

   When the overall situation was around 90 hands, he made a very detailed situation judgment at that time, and he knew that he had established a very obvious advantage at that time.

   It's just that some fly in the ointment. His advantage at that time was only the advantage of playing first game. At that time, he judged that the black chess board was still about 3 eyes ahead.

   This game of chess was played by Li Xiangping by himself, so he wanted to learn from Lao Shi and add some requirements to himself to see if he could let Chen Xiaoqiang move first.

  Since it is this kind of thinking, it is still about 3 orders behind, so Li Xiangping started to use strong, and made a very strong winning hand in about 100 hands.

It's a pity that there is a flaw in his winning hand today. Although in Li Xiangping's view, the flaw is actually relatively hidden, but it was still caught by Chen Xiaoqiang. The situation has completely reversed, and it has become a situation in which Li Xiangping suffered a small defeat.

   is a small defeat situation under the split first pattern.

   also saw this, Li Xiangping knew that he failed to pressurize himself (no matter how much he stirred, it would be impossible to stir the plate to the ground), so he simply did not stir, and chose to admit defeat after a few steps hastily.

   Well, of course, Li Xiangping, who is determined to fight dogs, doesn't care about winning or losing this kind of game, so he was very calm when he conceded, except that it was really difficult to let it go alone, but he had no other thoughts.

   However, his calm does not mean that others are calm, and he has no thoughts does not mean that others have no thoughts.

   In the viewing room next door, when Lao Xie and Zhang Da reporters were really sure that Li Xiangping had conceded defeat, the two looked at each other again, with expressions of disbelief.

   "Hey, even Li Xiangping can't be avoided without practicing chess for three days. Look at this chess..."

  Reporter Zhang Da pointed to the chess move played by Li Xiangping and said to Lao Xie:

"He is already a big winner. Why did he suddenly go crazy and run desperately in a chess game that was basically stable? Was he wrong in judgment, or did he miscalculate this move? But in either case, it should have been too long since he touched it. The chess player has performed well."

   Well, Lao Xie's level is still not as high as that of Reporter Zhang Da, so he is not as clear as Reporter Zhang Da, so his focus is on another angle:

   "Hey, do you think Li Xiangping is grabbing the headlines?, his loss will definitely be the headline news in the Go section tomorrow, and even the Samsung Cup finals will be in the back, right Lao Zhang,"

   Speaking of this, Lao Xie also made a joke:

   "Do you think he did it on purpose? He just wanted to grab this headline, so he deliberately lost to his number one fan brother Chen Xiaoqiang."

   Of course, Li Xiangping couldn't hear Lao Xie's nonsense. After the game with Chen Xiaoqiang, he did not leave the board immediately, but started a new round of deeper discussions with Lao Shi.

The reason why    is "deeper" is because the content of their review is different from the previous review with Chen Xiaoqiang.

When    and Chen Xiaoqiang replayed the game, the focus was on Li Xiangping's untenable winning hand, which was more than 90 moves in the overall situation.

   So the whole review is actually Li Xiangping praising his little brother, saying that he played really well today.

   As for the replay with Lao Shi, the two were discussing the 66th move of the game——

   This is a good move! There is a little bit of "six-height chess" meaning, it can be said that Li Xiangping is also relying on this good chess to establish a 3-eye advantage in front.

   "Oh, Brother Ding'an, there seems to be no problem with this hand, but why do I always feel that something is wrong."

   "What's wrong? This hand has a far god, a very righteous hand."

"No no, I'm not saying that this move is a fake, a mistake or a very problematic move, but... I always feel a little unfinished, as if I've missed something, otherwise I won't use that kind of winning hand to go all out. ."

"Oh?"

   Hearing Li Xiangping say this, Lao Shi did not rush to speak, but thought again along Li Xiangping's train of thought. "

   After about 5 minutes, Lao Shi spoke again this time:

   "By the way, little friend Xiangping, before you play this move, if you make an exchange somewhere, will the effect be better?"

   When Li Xiangping followed the plug-in prompt to find the point on the chessboard, he had a feeling of enlightenment at that time.

   Lao Shi pointed out that it is a one-step "trial test", which is full of "post-strike" meaning.

   It turns out that the one-step test, plus the actual chess move, the combination of these two moves is the real "six-height chess"!

   "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, can't rush to a conclusion now, if dogs encounter this move, how will they respond? Will they respond like ordinary human chess players..."

  Li Xiangping and the plug-in continued to have a deeper discussion.

   It seems that Uncle Seven really has potential. He has more than 6000 words for 7 consecutive days, so please continue to support it with monthly tickets. Thanks!
