After the competition, the award ceremony for the 20th "Fujitsu Cup" was held that night. Li Xiangping held the championship trophy, while Gu Dali won the runner-up check.

This is the 19th world championship trophy that Li Xiangping won, officially surpassing the record set by Li Li in real history. However, to be honest, this is the most lucky one that Li Xiangping won. Even he was a little embarrassed by the luck. Today's victory was completely a piece of it from his opponent.

It is precisely because of this reason that after the award ceremony, he immediately apologized to his opponent:

"Hehe, I'm sorry, today I should have applied to it earlier..."

However, what Li Xiangping didn't expect was that before he could finish his words, Gu Dali waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, boss, you don't need to apologize. Alas~~ In the final analysis, your own strength is not good."

At this time, Gu Dali turned around to persuade Li Xiangping, and he continued to explain:

"Although my loss today is the last two incredible tricks, I think back now. In fact, the deeper reason is your broken-eyed tendon. I have not calculated that move. I have always ignored it. In fact, it is because I didn't find that method that caused my emotions to fluctuate. In addition, I really want to beat you. Therefore, after seeing that move, I paniced at that time, and then made a trick in panic. Oh, so no one can blame me for losing. I can only blame myself for not having enough level. If I could find that tendon earlier, there would be no story behind me. Boss, don't you?"

"Ah? Ah! Hehehe..."

Since Gu Dali said this himself, what else can Li Xiangping say?

Of course he couldn't say anything, so he could only laugh a few times.

However, although he couldn't speak, Li Xiangping was secretly happy for his opponent------You should know that during the "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" last year, it took Gu Dali nearly half a year to recover.

To be honest, this kind of loss method today has a great harm to the players. Li Xiangping asked himself, if he lost such a game of chess, then not to mention the rest, at least he would not sleep well for many days, and he might often wake up from nightmares.

Since Gu Dali could say this today, Li Xiangping guessed that the harm he would definitely be there this time, but at least he shouldn't have nightmares, right?

After the award ceremony, the next day, the Chinese delegation returned to China. After returning to China, Li Xiangping first checked the schedule for August and found that in addition to the League, there was only one "Chunlan Cup" semi-final. The two world competitions held by the Koreans did not start until September.

The semi-finals of this year's "Chunlan Cup" were won by Chinese chess players. Li Xiangping's opponent in the semi-finals is Chang Hao's 9th dan. The game will be held from August 19 to August 22, and the competition system adopts the three-game chess competition system.

It's summer vacation now, and his girlfriend Yaya has gone to film, which has given Li Xiangping more effort to spend on Go. Especially when he thought that he had won such a lucky victory this time, his sequel was actually a little loss at Gu Dali's hands, which made him even less afraid to underestimate the heroes of the world.

After all, dog tricks have been promoted for so long, and Li Xiangping has not hidden his own personal information, so he knows them now. In fact, as long as professional chess players who are willing to study hard, they should have learned them now.

So the next battle with them is actually a competition to understand and use dog tricks.

Although Li Xiangping still doesn't think that any other chess player has an understanding of dog tricks that can surpass himself and Lao Shi, many things need to be viewed from another perspective, precisely because he has the deepest understanding and the highest level, so his next progress will definitely be the slowest.

In the foreseeable future, similar to the situation in this "Fujitsu Cup" final, I can't gain any advantage or even suffer a small loss in the layout stage, and this situation may increase.

As a good disciple of Old Nie, Chang Jiuduan is just the kind of person who has a very good layout. So when facing such an opponent, although the two of them had a completely one-sided record in their previous battle, Li Xiangping is really not willing to be careless now.

On the third day after returning to the capital, Li Xiangping participated in a round of besieging, which was the home match against the Central Plains team led by Zhou Heyang's 9th Dun.

The Central Plains team lined up a strange formation, and they pushed the young general Shi Yue to the head of the general. On Li Xiangping's side, since the team currently ranks first in points, and Li Xiangping made a big splash very early, saying that the goal this year is only the champion and any other ranking is regarded as a failure. In this case, Li Xiangping took the lead in the head of the general and guarded the most important line.

Before this, Li Xiangping had not played against the future "one-stop per game" in the official game. The online chess is not counted. The only time the two of them cut faces was actually the first time they played at the Agriculture Fair this year during the Spring Festival. The two played a 2-piece chess game.

Brother Long won that game of chess.

However, it was Lao Shi who fought with him at that time, so today's game of franchise was the first time that Li Xiangping had a formal competition with him.

The result of the game is nothing to say. Now "Brother Long" is obviously quite immature, especially his understanding of Go is temporarily far from Li Xiangping, and he persists until more than 180 moves. Li Xiangping forced him to admit defeat in the middle game.

However, after the game, Li Xiangping pretended to sigh:

"Oh, Brother Ding'an, do you think that all young people are so fierce now? They actually want to slaughter my big dragon. Is it that the big dragon in Li Xiangping so fragrant?"

Lao Shi laughed: "Haha, I think this is a good guy. Seeing him playing chess has a bit of style that I used to be."

"Ah?! Haha, it's not bad, but I almost forgot if you don't say it. This person is as violent as you. I'm the most annoying to you guys now."

After the end of this round of siege, August 8 will soon arrive, and the countdown to the first anniversary of the Olympics. On this day, Li Xiangping needs to participate in an event, that is, the "Olympic Torch Relay Activity" held by Beijing City.

As for next year's Olympics, to be honest, people like Li Xiangping never believed in "national destiny".

For example, someone used to say "the country is prosperous and the chess is prosperous." Li Xiangping never believed this sentence, otherwise it would be impossible to explain it. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the entire society was in turmoil, but the middle-aged chess showed a rare peak, and the fierce competition level even exceeded the peak of the Fan Shi era.

However, when it comes to the Olympics, Li Xiangping has to admit that it seems that this thing can truly be linked to the "national destiny".

As a time traveler, he feels that the development of our country in the next ten years is really like a cheat.

Probably when did the cheat be opened? Many people probably say that it seems to start from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

There is another strange thing. It seems that only Asian countries are good at using the Olympic Games to make cheats, of course, mainly East Asia, because only these three Asian countries have held the Olympic Games.

After Japan held the Olympics in 2014, Japan was like a cheat. In the Seoul Olympics in 2019, South Korea was actually a cheat. When our country held the Olympics in 2008, of course it would be our country's turn to cheat.

Except for the three East Asian countries, other European and American countries seem to have no such attribute.

Well, Li Xiangping always felt that he was not the only one who had this idea. At least, many Japanese people should have similar ideas to him. For example, in 2020, a little later, the Japanese felt that it was not enough to start a cheat once, and they actually wanted to start a second time. Unfortunately, their idea was too excessive. How could God spare them? So they directly dropped a super black swan event, making their idea of ​​cheating a joke.

What is this? Li Xiangping thinks it seems to be the "national destiny".

On August 8, Li Xiangping changed into sportswear and came to the event location early. As an athlete in non-Olympic events, Li Xiangping was not interested in most Olympic events, especially some unpopular events that are only for European and Americans. If there were no Chinese athletes to win gold and silver, it might be that Li Xiangping could not even understand many specific competition rules except for the project name.

However, all this did not stop him from participating in this event. Today he was the fifth runner. After taking the torch from a model worker in Beijing, Li Xiangping thought while running:

Well, I am not running for the Olympics now. I mainly run for the national fortune, right! What I run for the national fortune... By the way, I heard that after participating in this event, I have the opportunity to get a ticket for the opening ceremony of the Olympics first. This ticket is not enough. After running this time, I will go back and think about it and see what other channels can I get two more...

After participating in this event, Li Xiangping's life returned to peace. He participated in the competition step by step, carried out training step by step with his old man, continued to study dog ​​tricks step by step, and prepared for the battle with dogs eight years later.

The mid-August is coming soon, and the semi-finals of the "Chunlan Cup" are also close.

This year's "Chunlan Cup" is still an old place. On August 17, the headquarters of Chunlan Company, Taizhou, on August 17, two days before the official competition, Li Xiangping went to Huairou, the suburbs.

Of course, Huairou is not so tired this time, it is not so bad. It should be said that it is so bad that it is so bad, because Yaya is filming at Huairou's film and television base this time.

Regarding Li Xiangping's appearance, Yaya was first surprised, followed by surprise.

Her surprise is of course easy to understand, because the two of them have a tacit understanding, at least before they graduated from college, it is not suitable to announce their relationship to the public. Li Xiangping actually ran away to visit the set without saying a word, which of course surprised her.

As for the consequences of Yaya's surprise... Five thousand words are omitted below.

The next morning, Li Xiangping seemed to be full of electricity. He returned to the chess academy with full vitality, and then connected the large army to participate in the competition in Taizhou, Jiangsu.
