After August, Li Xiangping suddenly had more games this month as if he wanted to pay off his debts from the first half of the year.

The escort will have 5 rounds this month.

The schedule for the "Chunlan Cup" semi-finals has finally been finalized. The competition will be held at the end of this month. The competition system is a three-game chess and the competition location is still set in Taizhou, Jiangsu.

In addition, the group stage of the "Samsung Cup" competition and the first two rounds of the "LC Cup" competition also started this month as if they were joining in the fun. Among them, the "Samsung Cup" started earlier, and the "LG Cup" started later, and the game started later in the second half of the month.

Of course, compared with the above competitions, the biggest highlight of this month is also the competition that Li Xiangping personally valued the most. Of course, it was the "Fujitsu Cup" final held in Tokyo on the first weekend in August.

This is not the first game that Li Xiangping participated in in August. On the day of Army Day, Li Xiangping took the round of the bench armor. This is the 7th round of the bench armor this year. Li Xiangping faced Ding Wei, the main player of the Yunnan Provincial Team at the Chinese Chess Academy.

As a result, in this "Jueyi" vs. "Long Feihu" game, Li Xiangping performed well and he finally won the mid-set. In this way, he achieved five consecutive victories in the AFC field, setting a record for the longest winning streak in the AFC field.

Li Xiangping, who won the chess, seemed in a very good mood. He reviewed the game with his opponent for a long time, and kept talking nonstop while reviewing the game, bragging to other chess players. At this time, Ma Xiaofei came over:

"Xiangping, prepare for it, I will accompany you to Japan for a competition this time."

Li Xiangping, who was in a good mood, even made a joke about Ma Xiao: "Okay, Team Leader Ma... Alas, why is this title so awkward? Forget it, I'll call you Teacher Ma."

That’s right, just not long ago, Ma Xiaofei was just appointed as the head of the coaching team of the national Go team. This is actually an inappropriate position. Its real title should actually be the "head coach of the national Go team."

However, the "head coach" thing has a certain administrative level and is not low. Referring to the situation of other sports, this position must be at least a department level or deputy department level or above.

It is obvious that according to the administrative level of the Chinese Chess Academy itself, there is no right to appoint such high-level cadres, which must be appointed by the General Administration of Sports.

This is the case for Ma Xiaofei now. His appointment has not been approved, so Wang Lunan and the others have no choice but to let him first take the title of "coach team leader". Well, to put it bluntly, this is actually a "temporary worker".

In real history, Ma Xiaofei, a "temporary worker", worked for several years, but unfortunately he was unable to become a regular in the end. The head coach's hat was snatched away by his fellow villager Yu Tou. Li Xiangping remembered that in his previous life, the Go world had been torn for a long time because of this incident. From the vast crowd to the two parties involved, they all ended in person, most of which were unfair to Ma Xiaofei.

However, so many years have passed, when Li Xiangping turned around and looked at this matter again, he thought that Ma Xiaofei had nothing to complain about. His championship was more than Yu Tou, and his future position in Go history will definitely be higher than Yu Tou. However, as a manager, especially as a manager in this domestic system, to be honest, if Li Xiangping was a superior leader, even if he was a lazy person like Ma Xiao, he would not choose someone like Ma Xiao.

But Ma Xiao is lazy, it’s just that she is lazy. Now she is the new official just took office, and that’s the time when she is the most motivated. Li Xiangping remembers that in real history, Ma Xiaofei did a few practical things while serving as the head of the coaching team.

The first practical thing is to promote his "Mahjong Points". There is nothing to say about this "Mahjong Points". It can be regarded as a supplement to the hierarchy system, making the domestic selection system more reasonable.

The second practical thing is that during Ma Xiaofei's on stage, he organized experts from the national team to conduct targeted special research on the "Second Korean Li".

So by the way, Li Xiangping, of course, he has no interest in the "Ma's points". In his opinion, no matter how the points change, it is impossible to deprive him of his qualification for exemption. If he still wants to participate in various qualifiers, then this point system will not be more reasonable, but a regression.

Therefore, he is more concerned about the latter thing now, because he hasn't been in Beijing for a while, and he doesn't know whether the national team has conducted special research on Korean Er Lee.

When he asked, he found that there was no such thing as yet. Ma Xiaofei even asked him strangely:

"No, why are you studying them? Who is still free to watch their chess scores now? Go to the training room to see it yourself. In addition to game training, everyone must play your chess scores. Not to mention your formal game, even the chess you play on the Internet are now specially dismantled."

Li Xiangping opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

Ma Xiaofei said, "Is it not steamed or cooked? So I tell you Xiangping, you can't take me lightly this time. Since this is the case with the domestic chess players, then the same is true for those Japanese and Korean chess players. Every move you play now is being analyzed under a microscope... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. In short, just one sentence, you must not be upright now."

Li Xiangping thought it was of course. At least I definitely didn’t have a tail when facing the next game of chess. I was afraid that I would make you laugh at me. I even made fun of me because I was suffering from pre-match anxiety.

There was not much to say. On the second day, Li Xiangping boarded the flight to Tokyo. After all, it was the final again. Therefore, in addition to Ma Xiaofei, the head of the delegation, Wang Yi, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department, and a large group of accompanying reporters such as Zhang Da. From the imperial court reporter to the website reporter, a large group of people rushed to Tokyo in a huge crowd.

There is nothing to say when you arrive in Tokyo. After all, in recent years, it has become the norm for Japanese chess players to miss the finals. The host seems to be accustomed to it, so they do whatever they should do. Anyway, there will be programs that should be there, and they will not add additional items that should not be there.

During the "Eve Festival", Li Xiangping mainly paid attention to the South Korean delegation. He found that compared with China, the South Korean delegation seemed a little shabby this time. In addition to the significantly fewer reporters, as for the leader of the South Korean delegation-----

Li Xiangping thought for a long time before he remembered: This person seems to be Li Sang-hoon's fourth sen-hoon, who is Lee Sedol's biological elder brother.

After participating in the "Eve Festival" routinely, Li Xiangping returned to the hotel early to rest, and prepared for the second day of the competition. On the second day, Li Xiangping, like before, refused everyone's companionship and went to the arena alone.

"Hehe, my friend Xiangping, how do you feel this time?"

"What? Feeling? Haha, Brother Ding'an, don't you see it? I feel very good now. Just take a look. Let's see how I beat him up all over the floor today..."

After joking with his cheats, Li Xiangping entered the finals. Of course, he is not a rookie now. After all, he has experienced so many big scenes. Therefore, no matter how bragging he brags, he will naturally adjust what he should have.

At 9:55, Lee Sedol walked into the arena on time while the two of them did not communicate too much, and just sat face to face. At 9:58, the referee walked in. When Li Xiangping saw that the host actually chose Old Zhao Zhao Zhixun as the referee.

Under the leadership of Lao Zhao, the two opponents guessed first. Li Sedol grabbed a large handful of chess pieces and put them in his hand. Li Xiangping placed a piece on the chessboard. As a result, Lao Zhao counted, and Xiao Li grabbed a total of 18 pieces in the same hand. In this way, Li Xiangping guessed wrongly that this game of chess was played by Xiao Li.

At 10 a.m. Tokyo time, Lao Zhao officially announced the start of the competition. In the reporter's flash, Xiao Li neither pretended to slow down nor deliberately "turned quickly" or something. He dropped the "star, small eyes" at a very normal speed.

Since he was a white man, Li Xiangping also responded to changes with the same constant speed. He dropped the "two consecutive stars" at the same normal speed. This is also the most commonly used method when he was a white man. Not only him, but Lao Shi also liked this routine the most when he was a white man.

The fifth move is actually a point of disagreement, because since Li Xiangping appeared, "Do San San" and other methods have become one of the main routines in today's chess world and have become common in professional games.

But after Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, he still chose to "three six hang corners"---

This was one of the most mainstream ways to deal with "star positions" before the popularity of "Dian San San".

Li Xiangping's sixth move once again responded to changes with the same change, and he quickly took a step forward to "Xiaofei".

Xiao Li's seventh hand is a bit rare, he chose a "three-six hang corner" again----

In today's era, "double hang angles" such as the fifth and seventh hands are considered to be a proactive and proactive method, reflecting the mentality of the opponent's active pursuit of battle.

Li Xiangping looked at Xiao Li's seventh hand for 5 seconds. He quickly dropped the eighth hand, and he still responded calmly with a steady step.

After all, Xiao Li had never played Hu in front of Lao Shi before, so according to his personality and his chess style, it was not surprising that he showed this attitude at the beginning.

Li Xiangping even thought that this is the only way to go, otherwise would he still be the former "bird island boy"?

"...Okay, since you want to play this speed type, I'll play with you. But Xiao Li, Xiao Li, in my impression, this type of substitution is not what you are good at, right? Don't just play in front of me..."

The game just reached 10:40, and the whole game was less than 30 moves, and Li Xiangping's move stopped.

Because in his opinion, Xiao Li seemed to have really taken off the game, and the chess he just played was obviously unreasonable.

"How do you punish him for this chess..."
