Chapter 870 The flowers are similar
Li Xiangping came to the Chess Academy. Today is the final of the World League Trials. Whoever wins today will be eligible to be selected for the World League and participate in the next special ten rounds of chess.
Well, don’t look at this as just a chance to play 2 chess, but it is still quite valued by chess players, and this time the competition is extremely fierce.
There are two reasons why players take this game very seriously.
The first is the super high bonus, especially Juban's total budget is as high as 10 million RMB, and the average is 1 million per game.
Although from the situation of the previous two sessions, Li Xiangping took most of the prize money, but as long as you qualify for the competition, the starting fee for the game is 100,000 RMB.
If you can beat Li Xiangping, the starting point is 300,000 RMB.
If the team can win, then each player can get at least 500,000 - this is already the championship bonus for several domestic titles.
In the domestic "Celebrity Battle" and "Tianyuan Battle", the champion bonus is only about 200,000 RMB, and the highest "Chess Advocate Cup" is only 450,000 yuan.
Now playing a game of chess in the special juban, you can get such a generous bonus, which is of course very attractive to professional chess players who are actually not rich.
Secondly, being able to be selected for the World League is actually an honor in itself, which represents everyone's recognition of your strength.
In the first two competitions, the invitation system was implemented. To qualify for this competition, in addition to having strength, you must also have a matching reputation. In addition, you must even consider balance. In China and Japan Consider a balance between the three Koreas.
To give a very simple example: the current Korean Park Yongxun and the current Japanese Iyama Yuta, if you only look at the strength, then of course most chess fans will think that South Korea is Dapu. However, in last year's World League, why was Jingshan selected for Dapu and failed?
This is of course the product of balance.
Since South Korea has big and small Li and Cui Du, if you add one more, the number of people selected seems to be a bit large, and now in Japan, the only chess player who can play is Zhang Xu, who is as famous as him in the Heisei era. Heavenly King, to be honest, the strength is really not good.
If they are selected, to be honest, it will really lower the level of the World League.
If you think about it, it can only be Yuta Jingshan.
Although Jingshan is not yet really mature, he is better than young, and because he stands out among the younger generation of chess players in Japan, his achievements in Japan are particularly outstanding, which gives him a reputation far superior to his strength.
It is precisely because of various comprehensive balances that I chose Jingshan instead of Dapu last year.
It’s all right now, the original pure invitational tournament system has finally opened a hole, leaving a place for everyone to compete openly, which is of course very attractive to domestic young chess players—
Although Li Xiangping wants to give up 2 sons, it is not ashamed.
Li Xiangping passed through in 2000, and it is now 2009. During these 9 years, in fact, the vast majority of domestic young chess players have accepted the guidance of Li Xiangping's 2 sons.
It’s just that I used to be on the Internet, this time it will be changed to face cuts.
When I was instructed by Li Xiangping on the Internet, everyone had to line up and compete, and it was up to Li Xiangping to give face.
But this time, there is even a high prize money. Of course, the young chess player has no psychological discomfort.
It should be known that Li Xiangping's strength in Rangzi Kung Fu is recognized by the entire Go world.
There is even a saying circulating on the Internet that Li Xiangping's strongest skill is actually his skill of making chess, followed by quick chess, and finally the normal skill of pairing chess.
Now the competition among children learning chess, the annual "Go College Entrance Exam" is extremely fierce, and in the group of Chong Duan teenagers, there is now such a saying:
If you want to successfully enter the dan in China these days, you must at least reach the strength of the top first-class ninth dan and only give way to the first.
And it is in the case of letting one go first and the top class will win each other, so that you can be sure of entering the stage.
Except for Li Xiangping.
If you can win one or two games under the guidance of Li Xiangping's two sons, then you are already very competitive in the "Go College Entrance Exam".
If you and Li Xiangping can win each other in 2 chess, and kill him, don't say anything, you will become the favorite of the fixed stage.
If you can completely pass Li Xiangping's 2 Ziguan, then congratulations, you can actually not worry at all, because you are born to eat the bowl of Go.
And Li Xiangping himself did not know about the above statements, so he was surprised that so many people signed up for the selection.
When Li Xiangping arrived at the chess academy, the finals of the trials had already started, and since he had been training at home with plug-ins for the past few days, he did not know which two chess players entered the finals.
Before this, he only knew that the trials were based on a double-elimination system, and the winner of the winning group had already been created. It was Wang Xijiudan, a post-80s chess player. As for the champion of the defeated resurrection group, he really didn't know it before.
So after he came to the chess courtyard, he went directly to the second floor to see which two chess players were there today for the final battle.
When Li Xiangping came to the second floor, he saw Gu Dali, Kong Erjie, Chen Yaoyue, Dean Hua Xiaohua and others were there. Li Xiangping greeted everyone one by one, and then looked at the wall hanging on the wall. Match table:
"Yeah! Brother Niu? Didn't Brother Niu lose the first set? He really has the spirit of a phoenix and even won the resurrection group championship."
Xiaohua said with a smile:
"Yes, although Brother Niu's talent is not outstanding, he is really obsessed with Go, and he is also the most diligent in the national team. I said Xiangping, you are not as good as Brother Niu in this regard. Talent, if you can work hard like Niu Ge, you don't know how high you can push Go, so Xiang Ping, I advise you to take it easy in the future, don't mess with those messes, just focus on it Put more on Go, what do you think?"
After listening to Xiaohua's old pun, Gu Da Konger and even Chen Xiaoqiang were snickering. Li Xiangping was impressed, and he vaguely mixed in.
Seeing that Mr. Xiaohua had already beaten Li Xiangping, Dean Hua did not say anything more, and seeing that Li Xiangping seemed to be unable to hang up, he changed the topic in time:
"By the way, Xiang Ping, get ready. After today's game of chess is over, we will leave the day after tomorrow. You and the winner of this chess game will go to Phoenix one day in advance. This time, because of the lottery, the order of appearances will be determined based on the sponsorship. The business side requires everyone to be present together at that time.”
"Oh well."
After talking about the next arrangement, everyone should pay more attention to today's game. When Li Xiangping arrived, the game had just started and there were more than 60 moves on the board, and the situation was still indistinguishable.
"Xiang Ping, how do you feel about the current situation?"
Li Xiangping quickly judged the situation, and then smiled bitterly:
"I really don't know who can go to Phoenix now, but I know one thing. This should be a 3-hour slow game. Since Brother Niu is participating, you may not want to know the result before dinner."
Li Xiangping's words caused a burst of laughter, and everyone nodded frequently, deeply agreeing with this.
Li Xiangping didn't leave after entering the Qiyuan, and stayed in the Qiyuan all afternoon to watch the game.
As he himself said, since there is a game of Brother Niu, unless a certain party collapses quickly, or Brother Niu has a clear advantage, it is impossible to end it earlier.
Today, it seems that neither of these two situations has occurred. The situation has always been very stalemate, so Li Xiangping is ready to finish his meal at the chess institute.
Of course, there are so many masters in the national team together, especially Li Xiangping who is hard to get to play today, everyone will not only pay attention to this trial, but will talk about the recent trends in the chess world, such as whether there is any "new novice". , and everyone will bring up their latest matches, and ask Li Xiangping, a master, to explain to everyone.
Li Xiangping directly pointed the finger at Chen Xiaoqiang. There was no way. Everyone else could endure snickering just now. However, the number one laughed so much that he dared to snicker just now. This is absolutely unbearable.
"...Haha Xiaoqiang, what did you play in the game you played in the Evergrande Cup last week? It's so stinky, facing Xiao Li, you didn't even have any advantage in the sequence game? By the way, and I really don't know what you thought about the step in your middle. According to the situation at the time, you should really let the winner go, but your step of "clamping" is too low-level. Right? It’s just that kind of low-level means, and you still expect to mess up Xiao Li’s game? You don’t know how to prepare in advance? For example, before that, give him a nose. Wouldn’t that be more confusing? It’s also more confusing…”
Returning to the field of Go, Li Xiangping is of course the absolute king, so for his casual comments, not only Chen Xiaoqiang once again turned into the number one younger brother, but others also listened carefully.
After chatting with everyone about Go for an afternoon, the game between Brother Niu and Wang Xi was finally decided.
In the end, "Brother Niu" Qiu Jun won, and he became the pioneer of the World League.
After waiting for the result, Li Xiangping naturally went home and prepared to participate in the competition that he valued most.
When he was packing, Yaya came over, and she hugged Li Xiangping from behind:
"Xiang Ping, I'm going with you this time."
"what?…"
Li Xiangping frowned slightly—this is the biggest change before and after the accident.
Before the accident, Yaya actually believed in Li Xiangping, and she never seemed to have any doubts about Li Xiangping.
But when those photos appeared online, that all changed.
Especially after this incident, Yaya actually saw that Miss Bai didn't seem to be affected. Not only was she not blocked, but her resources were not affected in any way, but she was more famous and famous.
Yaya feels a little bit of a crisis now.
Before this, Yaya, who had just graduated from university, was still quite ambitious. For example, in the official tasks of their song and dance troupe, Yaya would be more active in participating.
But now, maybe Yaya feels that staring at Li Xiangping should be more important than her career.
Of course, Li Xiangping had nothing to do about it. He was ashamed of the other party first, and more importantly, he didn't want to let go.
In that case, just stare if you want.
"Hehe, okay, let's go together."
In late September, a week before the 11th Golden Week, Li Xiangping once again went to the ancient city of Phoenix to participate in the annual special tenth.
