Go Legend - Chapter 887

   Chapter 887 Lao Shi also has a boring time

   After spending a day in Yandang Mountain, Li Xiangping once again returned to the ancient city of Phoenix in Hunan Province to participate in the last two games of this year’s “Phoenix Ancient City – Three Famous Mountains” Cup special tenth match.

   Up to now, Japan’s Zhang Xu and South Korea’s Cui Du are left on the World League side.

   For this year’s game, the United team is actually quite embarrassed. It has been relegated in name. If you want to get rid of the fate of relegation, it is not enough to score 1-1 in the final round.

  Because the total score is 7-3, they are still relegated. Only by winning the last two sets can they maintain this year’s “first two first” chess position.

  No one is optimistic that the alliance team can grab two consecutive victories under Li Xiangping, even if one of the remaining two games is a 2-point game.

  Some good people look back at the past records and find that since the establishment of this special tenth, Li Xiangping has not had a losing streak.

   This is the embarrassment of the World United team, because if this “convention” is followed, the United team seems to be unable to escape the fate of being relegated again, and will be directly downgraded to “Ding 2” by Li Xiangping this year.

   It’s okay, this embarrassment does not belong to one person, but is shared by 10 players.

   The 10 chess players who can be selected into the world team basically also represent the highest level in today’s chess world.

  No, it is the highest level in today’s professional chess world except Li Xiangping, and it is impossible for any other 10 to perform better than their 10.

  Because of this, although embarrassment is embarrassing, it will not let the participating chess players hang their free cards. When Li Xiangping arrived, Japanese Zhang Xu and South Korean Cui Du also arrived at the same time.

   We have already met and attended the pre-match press conference together. It’s just that during the press conference, Li Xiangping didn’t know who the two played first.

   It is normal to think about it, after all, the next two games will have different chess positions, and both of them are both well-known masters in the chess world today, and they are of different nationalities.

   Therefore, it is not easy for others to assign or even give advice on this kind of thing, so the two can only discuss it on their own.

   Fortunately, the schedule was tight, so Li Xiangping didn’t have to wait too long. On the night of his arrival in Phoenix, Li Xiangping knew who would play the next day:

   is Zhang Xu Jiuduan from Japan, he will play the next handicap.

   Li Xiangping is still the indifferent attitude, because in his opinion, when the game hits this point, the pressure on the two opponents is actually similar.

  Acquiring 2 subs seems to be lower, but the chance of winning is also much larger.

   And once the United team won the next 2 sub-games, the score became 6-3, so the pressure on the last player to play would also become greater–

   One person decides whether the entire team will be relegated.

   The pressure is someone else’s, and Li Xiangping won’t care too much. What he cares about now is this rare opportunity to exercise.

   It can be seen from the match between Lao Shi and Kong Er in the last game: From the perspective of the level of perception, I and the plug-in have indeed reached the strength to let human players take the lead–

   does not mean that we can win steadily, but if both sides play the highest level, let Xianxian have been able to compete.

   This was a proud achievement, but unfortunately it was not enough. Because of the existence of Go AI, especially when Li Xiangping thought of the three generations of dogs in his previous life, they made the two human beings basically have no pressure.

   But now, even if he and Lao Shi have combined their two swords, they are still at a significant disadvantage in the level of 2 sons.

what does that mean?

   Of course, it means that you are not enough to see in front of the dog, and you need to continue to sharpen and improve.

   And if he wants to continue to improve, before the dog is born, Li Xiangping can only find other top human chess players to continue to sharpen.

   There are not many opportunities to sharpen like this. If you have a set, you must cherish a set.

On the second day, the game officially started. It can be seen that the current Japanese “chess master” has a good mentality. Although he was given 2 pieces by others, in this game, he was neither greedy for merit nor rash. How to play chess is just like this, maintaining a good “normal heart” and dealing with Li Xiangping patiently.

   And in this way, the pressure on Li Xiangping’s side is of course a lot.

  Let first let one Tiemu, and let 2 subs is basically equivalent to letting 2 Tiemu.

   With such a huge starting gap, to be honest, even if dogs play this kind of chess, they still need human players to make enough mistakes to be able to win.

  Of course, from another point of view, the process of human playing chess is actually a process of making mistakes constantly, it depends on whether you can catch it or not.

  For example, there are many famous Go books in history. If you take them for a walk in front of a dog, it is simply unsightly, and there are many problems in it.

   Even from this perspective, the process of dogs playing chess is also a process of making mistakes.

  The first-generation dog’s move is a mistake in the second-generation dog’s view, and the second-generation dog’s move is vulnerable in front of the third-generation dog.

   As for the three generations of dogs, if a stronger Go AI appears in the future, the tricks of the three generations of dogs may also be a joke to them.

  Because of this, in essence, any game of Go is actually a process of comparing mistakes between the two sides. If you want to win the opponent, you must not only make fewer mistakes yourself, but also need to catch your opponent’s mistakes.

   Obviously, in the face of Zhang Xu’s neither humble nor arrogant tactics today, this makes Li Xiangping feel difficult.

  Because letting 2 pieces is really different from playing split first or even letting go first.

   To give a simple example, for example, the obvious “slow move” in the split-first game turns into a very calm “good move” in the handicap of 2 pieces. In this meeting, the player who has the upper hand will not be able to make a move at all.

   Today, Zhang Xu used such “good hands” to deal with Li Xiangping patiently, which made Li Xiangping and Lao Shi rack their brains and never found a decent opportunity.

  3 eyes!

   Around 5:15 p.m., when the game ended, Zhang Jiuduan won with a 3-eye advantage.

   Waiting for the referee to confirm the result of the match, Li Xiangping said to the outsider:

“Hey~ Brother Ding’an, this is the gap between us dogs. For example, in today’s game, the opponent is obviously playing very ordinary. During the period, I also felt that there were many opportunities, but we just couldn’t seize them all, and then Use it to win the final battle, do you think it is?”

   After listening to Li Xiangping’s feelings after the game, Lao Shi agreed:

“Yes, based on the performance of the opponents today, I thought that if they were replaced by three generations of dogs, they should be able to win, but we still can’t work together. In Ding’an’s view, it should be some mistakes still existing in the opponent. , is that we can’t detect it now, but we can’t hide from the eyes of the machine, this should be the gap, and it may be the direction of our efforts in the next few years.”

   “In 6 years, it should be possible for you and I to work together to improve a few more games.”

The score became 6 to 3, which is also within the psychological expectation, and there is nothing unacceptable. Therefore, after the game ended, the two did not reflect too much, and quickly focused on the last game. In the game against Cui Du.

   For the last game, Li Xiangping and Lao Shi rarely reached an agreement, that is, they are determined to win!

  Because only by winning this final game, can the United team be demoted again with a score of 7 to 3, and then next year’s chess share can become “Determined 2”.

   Obviously, in the eyes of the two of them now, playing two pieces is obviously more valuable than letting go first, so they attach great importance to the last game.

   It’s just that Li Xiangping still has integrity even though he is determined to win, and he never thought about combining two swords in the last game.

   “Brother Ding’an…”

   “Xiangping little friend…”

  Li Xiangping laughed at that time: “Hehe Ding’an brother, you should say it first.”

   Lao Shi also laughed: “How about you let me play in this last round?”

“Oh?”

Li Xiangping was a little strange. Just now, he really wanted to say that he would let himself come in the last game. In the past, Lao Shi never fought for this kind of thing. Except he didn’t get addicted to chess for a long time, he rarely took the initiative. Ask yourself to play chess.

   Especially the opponent in the last game was Cui Du, which seemed even more strange.

  Using Li Xiangping’s evaluation of Cui Laohan: This is a backbone player in the world chess world. Although he is very active in world competitions and has remained stable all year round, he has not yet won the world championship.

   The only world champion in real history has now been snatched away by Li Xiangping.

   So he is not as prominent as South Korea’s big and small Li, and secondly, he is not as difficult as the domestic ancient big Kong Er, which makes Li Xiangping a little confused, why Lao Shi would take the initiative to play this game of chess.

   Thinking of this, Li Xiangping smiled and said:

   “Hehe Ding’an brother, it’s not impossible to let you go, but you must give me a reason.”

Lao Shi smiled and said: “There is only one reason, because I often hear your comments, this person’s chess style is straight-line attack and kill type, and really speaking, judged by the current standard, the me in the past is also similar The style of chess, so you let me do this game.”

   “Oh? Hahahaha…”

   Li Xiangping laughed when he heard it. With the tacit understanding that Li Xiangping and Lao Shi have developed over the years, he understood the meaning of plug-in at that time.

   And at this time, he even guessed how he was going to play this last game of chess.

   Obviously, with Lao Shi’s sullen personality, he must want to have a head-to-head with his opponent.

   He definitely wants to use the power of his ancient Chinese chess master to touch the modern K-Pop, and then see if he can beat the modern K-Pop with pure power.

   And it is the K-pop that is pressed to the modern era under the condition of letting go.

   There is, of course, some risk in doing so, no doubt.

   But Li Xiangping didn’t care, not only did he not care, he was very happy to see it.

   What if you lose this year? The big deal is to come back next year.

   “Okay, it’s up to you, but brother Ding’an, let’s say it now, don’t embarrass me then.”

   After a day off, the final round of this year’s special tenth round came soon, and Li Xiangping walked into the arena with great interest.

  Yes, his only mood now is to be in high spirits, and he wants to see how his cheater can fight his opponent head-on.
