"... Dear viewers, the following is a sports news. In the third game of the "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" special ten-game chess game held today, Li Xiangping, the first player in the chess world today, our country's genius chess player Li Xiangping performed well. He defeated Luo Xihe Jiudan in the middle game and won this game. After winning this game, he had already achieved two wins and one sum in the first three games. Many people in the chess industry expressed surprise at the current score, believing that although no one dares to underestimate Li Xiangping, he still underestimated his strength. In the three games, Li Xiangping used three different methods of playing. Judging from the strength he showed this time, it can only be described as unfathomable..." (Sports News from the Sports Channel of the Ming Tingtai Sports Channel that night."

"...Hi Chess, 3 wins, mid-game wins, how strong is he? In a special chess battle held in China, the performance of the Chinese monster Li Xiangping once again sparked heated discussion among chess fans. Is he the strongest professional chess player in history? In a questionnaire released by Go TV, more than 60% of Korean chess fans gave positive answers." (South Korea Ilbo)

(No, I'm not as good as him! After watching Li Xiangping's performance, Mr. Wu Qingyuan said this...) (Japanese Chess Magazine)

It was different from the first two games. After Li Xiangping won the third game, the popularity of the game increased significantly, and major media began to follow up on the reports.

Well, the above reports are quite official. If you browse major websites, the various words will be much more exaggerated.

Of course, this situation is normal. Li Xiangping remembers that before the competition, the domestic "Yicheng" website also conducted a questionnaire survey, and there were two questions in the questionnaire:

1. What are the results you most looking forward to in this special "Phoenix Ancient City Cup"? A, Li Xiangping won, B, six-man team won, and C, both sides tied.

2, 2, What kind of results do you think will occur in this special "Phoenix Ancient City Cup"? A, Li Xiangping won a small victory (he won a small victory but failed to relegate his opponent), B, Six-player United won a small victory (the unit won a small victory but failed to relegate his chess share) C, Li Xiangping won a big victory (the Li Xiangping won a big victory and relegate his opponent) D, Six-player United won a big victory (the unit won a small victory and relegate his chess share) E, both sides tied.

3. The answers of chess fans are very interesting. Regarding the first question, more than 70% of chess fans hope that Li Xiangping will win, 20% hope that the United team will win, and less than 10% hope that both sides will draw------

4. Of course, this does not mean that Li Xiangping is so popular, but it is just a melon-eating crowd. Of course, it is not a big deal to watch the fun. Among the 70% of the chess fans who hope that Li Xiangping will win, there are still many hopes that he can downgrade his opponent by two levels in a row.

5. But when it comes to the second problem, the situation is completely reversed. This time, nearly 60% of chess fans think that Li Xiangping will lose, and only about 30% think that he will win.

Not only do ordinary chess fans think this way, but in fact, this is the same view within the professional chess world. Everyone generally believes that although Li Xiangping is strong, it should not have reached the point of making the world first.

Even not only others, but even Li Xiangping himself said this before the game: He said that no matter whether the game wins or loses, if he can maintain the original chess share, he will be very satisfied and will regard it as his own victory.

It is precisely because of this reason that when the trend of the game is completely opposite to everyone's predictions before the game, this certainly adds a lot of heat. Many chess fans began to eat with relish and want to see what the game can be like.

You should know that in terms of competition, the United team has been squeezed to the edge of the cliff by Li Xiangping----

Now there are two wins and one draw. Although there are still two games left before the relegation is really a bit less than two games, don’t forget that in many Japanese games back then, there was a saying that “Go to the chess win”.

For example, in Japan's first "Old Celebrity Battle", when the competition reached the last round, the most promising winners were Hideyuki Fujisawa and Eio Sakata. The old charlatan won the game early and then waited for the result of Sakata's game.

In the last round, Sakata met Mr. Wu Qingyuan. In that game, Sakata performed extremely well in the first half of the set and had basically established a victory. This disappointed the old charlatan. He murmured softly, "The Sakata celebrity is still born", and then ran to drink to relieve his sorrow.

However, late at night, the staff of the Japanese Chess Institute looked for "Fujisawa Shin-Celebrity" everywhere----

It turned out that in the last game, Mr. Wu Qingyuan chased hard in the second half of the game and finally played Hechess. Then, according to the chess rules at that time: "Hechess is white and wins", the game happened to be played by Mr. Wu, so Mr. Sakata was judged to lose. So in this way, Fujisawa's old charlatan was caught out of the tavern and became a "celebrity" of Japanese Go in a confused manner.

Referring to such a precedent, Li Xiangping's current two wins and one draw is of course a win that has forced his opponent to the corner. If one side of the team loses again, let alone what he will do in the end, but the fifth player who plays may not know how to play.

It is precisely because of this that the candidates on the United side who will play next have attracted much attention. According to the pre-match agreement, the candidates in the first six rounds will not be repeated. The players who have not played at the moment are Chang Hao's 9th Dan, Kong Erjie's 7th Dan and Chen Yaoyue's 5th Dan.

Which one will Li Xiangping meet?

There was no rest between the third and fourth rounds, so on the night of the game, Li Xiangping quickly learned about tomorrow's opponent: Kong Erjie, and the United side sent Kong Er to the field.

To be honest, Li Xiangping expected this candidate. After all, in this competition, the United team basically has no way out. It is likely that the one they think is most confident-------

In fact, Kong Er's reputation is not as good as Chang Hao's Jiudan, but Chang Jiudan is already in his 30s after all, and is already falling from his personal peak.

Chen Xiaoqiang is still too young, and Chang Hao seems to be a little old, so no matter how you look at it, it seems that Kong Erjie is the most suitable for the seventh throne.

Not only that, Kong Er is known as the "most professional chess player"------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does this mean? Of course, this is the expert's ability to judge the trick. Kong Er is still valued by many professional chess players. For example, today, Kong Er's performance is actually much worse than Gu Dali. However, in the Chinese national Go team, everyone always compares these two people. Extremely, like Chen Xiaoqiang, he not only subdues Li Xiangping, but next to Kong Erjie. As for Gu Dali, it is really not in his eyes.

"Haha, Brother Ding'an, will we use two swords to combine this situation tomorrow?"

"But you make the decision. If you say you want to use it, don't use it."

Li Xiangping thought for a while and smiled, "Since that's the case, I think it's better not to use it. This person's chess is still very distinctive. If he can play normally, I think it's like a ruler that can well measure the difference between us and other chess players. I'll try it tomorrow and see what level we are at now."

"Haha OK."
