Chapter 871 Four sets and 2 sub-games are the key
Since 2006, this is the fourth time that Li Xiangping has come to Phoenix. From the first bilateral confrontation with Gu Dali to the special tenth, as the specifications of the competition become higher and higher, the impact will increase. The more you come, the more experience you have in the local competition. You are familiar with all kinds of receptions, and you are familiar with the procedures for running competitions.
After the group of qiyuan arrived, the opening ceremony was organized by the organizer:
The appearance ceremony of the participating chess players; the press conference; the meeting with the chess fans; the last is the friendship activity with the chess fans, and the large-scale "multi-faceted play" activities are carried out...
All this is going on in an orderly manner, lively but not hectic, reflecting the very sophisticated experience of the organizers.
Especially when the chess player debuts and holds a press conference—
To be honest, at the very beginning, Li Xiangping was actually very worried. He was worried that the reporter would bring the topic to his peach-colored incident.
To tell the truth, Li Xiangping was already mentally prepared for this, and he had even figured out how to deal with it. For example, if the reporter asked this question, he would answer it like this.
After a press conference, Li Xiangping's preparations were completely useless.
Li Xiangping even felt that the reporters who were present might have been blocked or warned from somewhere. In short, they all seemed very responsible during the entire press conference.
not only didn't embarrass Li Xiangping, but he didn't even mention the problem at all, almost all the problems were related to Go.
This undoubtedly made Li Xiangping very comfortable.
After all, this is the field he is most familiar with and good at.
Therefore, during the whole press conference, Li Xiangping talked and laughed, and once again showed everyone his "contemporary chess king" style.
It’s just that when the opening ceremony reached the last link, that is, when the players of the World United team used a lottery method to decide the order of appearance, there was a small episode.
At this time, Li Xiangping had already sat in the guest seat under the stage, and he also wanted to see the whole lottery process, but at this time, he was politely invited out of the venue by the hostess of the venue.
Just when Li Xiangping was stunned, the host of the opening ceremony walked up to him and told him clearly that although the order of appearances of the chess players would not be changed after today's lottery ceremony, in order to follow the Continuing the habit of the previous two competitions, this order of appearances must be kept secret from Li Xiangping, so now ask him to leave the venue.
After the host finished speaking to Li Xiangping, he said to the reporters present that although this lottery ceremony will be open to everyone, please do not report the specific order of appearance when you go back to report. The purpose of this is only One is to hide from Li Xiangping.
Li Xiangping smiled when he heard it——
This is of course an irrelevant detail, and he himself has never cared about the order of the opponent's appearance, but when the organizer came to play like this, it was a little interesting interaction.
In today's Internet age, if you want to block a message on Li Xiangping in this way, no one really cares whether it can be done, but it can give the reporters a sense of participation.
Li Xiangping left the venue happily, then returned to his room, ready to discuss tomorrow's game with his plug-in—
Although Yaya also followed this time, the two are not married after all, right? Therefore, it is not easy for the two to live together openly and openly in this other place. On the surface, they also want to open another room for Yaya, so at this moment, Li Xiangping is the only person in the room.
Although the overall order of appearances of the World United team is kept secret from Li Xiangping, the first opponent is very clear. It is Brother Niu who just defeated Wang Xi two days ago, so Li Xiangping can still prepare for this first game. to a certain target.
"Hehe Ding'an brother, this first thing is a big deal, let's stick to the old rules, first clarify who will be the main thing tomorrow?"
When encountering this kind of thing, the old Shi rarely took the initiative to make up his mind, and this time is no exception:
"Everything, little friends Yixiangping, come here just like you said."
Li Xiangping thought about it:
"Tomorrow is the first game. Although it is a 2-point game, we must strive to make a good start. Brother Ding'an, I think so, tomorrow will still be dominated by you, and I will cooperate with you by the side. My experience and experience are also much richer than mine, poor brother Tie-tou, you were deceived a lot of money back then."
"Ha ha."
After Lao Shi laughed, he said to Li Xiangping:
"Hey, little friend Xiangping, your decision today surprised me a bit. I thought you were going to go on your own."
"How to say?"
"You decided to focus on me because you valued my experience in playing handicap more, but Xiaoyou Xiangping, have you ever thought about it? In fact, according to the characteristics of this opponent's chess style tomorrow, it seems more appropriate to focus on you."
Li Xiangping thought about it again, and felt that it seemed to make sense for him to cheat.
What are the characteristics of Qiu Jun's chess style?
Well, if it were ten years in the real history, Brother Niu would boast that he was "Qiu Daju" and "Qiu Realm", but at this time, he was a standard violent man who completely believed in "power is king". "Lord.
And Brother Niu's power is really good!
In real history, he not only won the world runner-up three times, but also won the title of "celebrity".
As for Brother Niu's strength, Li Xiangping remembered that in his previous life, he had watched Liushi Town's 7th Dan commenting on Brother Niu's chess game on "Go World"—
The two of them are teammates of the Shencheng team, so Liu Qiduan really knows Brother Niu very well, and his comments are also in place. Liu Qiduan said that with Brother Niu's computing ability, even compared with the peak Gu Dali, he is not inferior. And if Gu Dali wants to win him, he must give full play to his other technical advantages.
For example, use your own broader vision and more flexible thinking and so on.
Therefore, from this point of view, Li Xiangping personally believes that Brother Niu's chess path is somewhat similar to that of Lao Shi—
Lao Shi is of course a muscular guy. His calculation ability is actually better than Li Xiangping himself. The reason why Li Xiangping can compete with his own plug-ins is that most of the time, he relies on his own more flexible thinking.
If you think from this angle to prepare for tomorrow's battle, then what Lao Shi just said really makes sense—
Although with Lao Shi's absolute strength, he is definitely not weaker than Brother Niu, but don't forget, tomorrow will be 2 chess, and in such handicap, if two people's chess styles are close or even convergent, they will It's really hard to get started.
Take the situation between Fan Shi and Hu Zhaolin's iron-headed brother in ancient chess as a reference:
In terms of real strength, of course Lao Shi will not be inferior to his senior brother Fan Xiping by half a point, but when they play 2 handicap with brother Tietou respectively.
Fan Xiping is very relaxed, he can hang Hu Zhaolin in tricks.
But when it comes to Lao Shi, he is more difficult, and it is often difficult to win the silver of Brother Tietou.
This is where the difference in style of play comes into play.
Fan Xiping's chess style is very flexible, and he often has fantastic ideas, so when his characteristics are brought into play, it is impossible to guard against him as a striker.
And Lao Shi's strengths lie in rigor, in density, and in super strong calculation, but Brother Tietou's calculation is not bad, so with one more piece on the chessboard, he can actually be with Lao Shi. Fight evenly.
Li Xiangping thought about it again, and felt that although he had his own reasons for cheating, it seemed that it was more appropriate to take the lead in dealing with the type of "Brother Niu", but this time, he should not change his mind. Tomorrow Still mainly old Shi.
"Brother Ding'an, I think you may have overlooked a question."
"Oh? Ignore what?"
Li Xiangping sighed and said:
"Brother Ding'an, you ignored the dog tricks this time. You must know that after our vigorous promotion, at least when compared with my previous life, the entire chess world has changed beyond recognition, even if it is a rushing teenager. , have mastered a lot of dog tricks, and are trying to understand the essence of them. And the opponent we need to face tomorrow, although his talent is not outstanding, but he is the most hardworking in the entire national team, so... "
"So, although he may not be able to fully comprehend dog tricks, he must have mastered all the dog tricks that have become popular, right?"
Li Xiangping smiled bitterly:
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean, don't forget, after all, tomorrow will be 2 sub-games, so even if it is me, it may not be able to take advantage of him at the beginning, so in order to get a good start, I think it is you You should be more confident, no, it is inappropriate to use the word grasp for two top players in the chess world, I can only say that with brother Ding’an’s experience in playing color chess, there should be more opportunities.”
Since Li Xiangping has already mentioned this, Lao Shi no longer insisted, and he happily agreed:
"Oh that's fine, I'll go up tomorrow."
After discussing this matter well, the preparations for the two of them are almost the same. After all, at the level of the two of them, there are no specific technical issues to discuss before the game, let alone formulate specific countermeasures for specific opponents. , So after the two chatted for a few more words, they stopped there, and Li Xiangping recharged his energy to prepare for the next day's game.
Because he had a good rest until the next day, Li Xiangping appeared at the door of the game room a little earlier than before.
Lao Xie and Zhang Da reporters and other full-time Go reporters were already waiting there. Lao Xie smiled when he saw Li Xiangping:
"Haha Xiangping, how about this time? Are you sure you can continue to create miracles and directly lower the alliance to Ding 2?"
Li Xiangping rolled his eyes and said:
"Hehe, you're still set for the second one? Old Xie, you really dare to think about it. I'll tell the truth. For this year's competition, if I can maintain my current chess position, I'm already very satisfied. It's good not to be promoted again."
"Haha hypocrisy, Xiangping, your words are becoming more and more hypocritical..."
made a few jokes with the reporters he knew, and seeing that the game time was coming soon, Li Xiangping said goodbye to everyone, and then entered the game room.
Outside the door, several reporters continued to chat. Reporter Zhang Da smiled and said:
"Hehe, thank you, do you really think Xiangping can still create miracles?"
"How do I know that,"
Lao Xie from the sports world said with a smile:
"For this year's game, everyone knows that the 4 games and 2 subgames are the key, so we should take a good look today. Maybe through this game, we can see the trend of the entire Shifan chess."
