On February 2nd, on the 21st day of the 1st day of the 12th lunar month, Li Xiangping, accompanied by Yu Bin Jiuduan and others, went to South Korea to compete with Xiao Li for the "LG Cup".

Yu Bin is now the deputy team leader of the national team coaching team, but he will soon become a regular manager and officially become the head coach of the national Go team. So when he was on the road, Li Xiangping joked with him:

"Teacher Yu, I heard you are about to be promoted, right? Then you must treat you to me."

Yu Tou smiled silly: "Why are you promoted to an official position? I heard that you still have to compete for your job. How can I compete for Mr. Ma?"

Li Xiangping laughed when he heard this----In real history, the Chinese Chess Academy has really done such a tricky operation, which is to let Ma Xiao and Yu Tou compete for the head coach of the national team, and even pretended to arrange a vote in the national team. Yu Tou won, and Mo Xiaofei withdrew from the management team in disgrace.

Why did Li Xiangping say this is a slutty operation? Because he thought such a voting was not necessary at all.

In terms of strength and status in the world, Ma Xiaofei must be higher than Yu Tou, but for those who are lazy by nature like Ma Xiao, even if Li Xiangping has a good relationship with him, he doesn't think he is an excellent Go coach.

Because in the words of Korean Xiao Li: "Go is always a matter of one person," so being a coach in a place like the national Go team is not the right way to be a suitable chess power, but what you need is actually a "nanny-type" coach.

It is obvious that if you use this standard to select people, the former "child team leader" would of course be more suitable than the former "Ma Yao Dao".

In fact, Li Xiangping has always believed that the higher management of the Chess Academy was actually considering this point, so he appointed Yu Tou as the head coach of the new national team. As a result, they also added some democratic votes, which made a large number of chess fans feel unfair for Ma Xiaofei, becoming a large-scale fight in the Chinese Go world these days.

The climax of the fight was a small invitational competition after Yu Bin took office. Well, it was the commonly known as the "money-sharing competition".

The gimmick of the game is said to be the "chess kings in history" in the Chinese chess world. In other words, Lao Nie in the 1950s, Chang Hao in the 1970s, Gu Dali in the 1980s and others gathered these people together to share the money.

As a result, the sponsor of the competition didn’t know what they thought. The first one might be that the sponsor had a good personal relationship with Yu Bin, and that competition was originally facilitated by Yu Bin.

The second possibility is that the sponsor may be a completely amateur and does not understand the history of the development of Chinese Go. It is to see Yutou as the head coach of the new national team, and let him represent the chess players in the 1960s.

Well, in fact, when he was not selected as the head coach of the national team, Ma Xiaofei did not speak out personally. However, seeing such a money-sharing competition, he was not invited. The petty Ma Yaodao couldn't hold it in, and he choked on his Weibo:

Although Yu Bin is the chess king (meaning Yu Bin has won the title of "chess king" in China. In addition, in real history, Yu Bin has also won the "lg Cup" and the full name of "lg Cup" is called "lg Cup Professional Go World Chess King Competition), if he can represent chess players in the 1960s, then I won't speak anymore. I think even Liu Xiaoguang Jiudan, Cao Dayuan Jiudan and others will not agree...

As soon as such a Weibo post came out, the two of them broke up like that, which also made many chess fans choose teams to fight, and they had been eating melons for nearly a year or two.

"That competition has not yet been played. If it is really held in the future, I will definitely invite me, right? Well, if I don't participate, I will never participate in such a competition. Anyway, according to the time, I have announced that I will withdraw from the regular season by that time, and I will use such an excuse to reject that kind of ** competition..."

It was amid such random thoughts that Li Xiangping soon arrived in South Korea and stayed at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul to prepare for the next day's competition.

The hotel is very luxurious, but the opening ceremony of the final is not grand and enthusiastic. Li Xiangping probably because his record of fighting against Li was too disparate, which led to Koreans not very optimistic about him. In competitions like Go, they can not play many extra-play tricks like other competitive sports.

Of course, this made many Koreans feel bored, so after Li Xiangping arrived in South Korea, there were not even a few media outlets at night. The opening ceremony of the final was deserted and ended in less than an hour.

After returning to the room, Li Xiangping began to discuss with his plug-in:

"Haha, how about Brother Ding'an? Although Xiao Li is actually better than Gu Dali for you and me, he is the last champion after all. Let's work hard to achieve a good start and end well. It's exactly the same as before. You come to the first game, I come to the second game, any?"

"I'm fine, you can do whatever you say."

After the discussion was made, the two of them were too lazy to even play Xiao Li’s latest chess recipe, so they took a break early to nourish their energy.

The next day, at 10 a.m. Korean time, the first game of the final officially began. By guessing first, the first game was Xiao Li's black chess.

The current "LG Cup" still costs 3 hours per side, which takes a lot more time than the "Samsung Cup". However, it may be that it had just played a few sets of 2 hours. Lao Shi started very quickly, with nearly 40 moves in an hour. By the time the game was closed at noon, the whole game had nearly 80 moves.

Well, during the morning game, Li Xiangping became a "true gentleman" and did not communicate with Lao Shi in the whole process.

Lao Shi's performance was normal. Anyway, with Li Xiangping's level, he did not see any problems. The so-called "no single move can be blamed."

However, even Li Xiangping himself couldn't figure out what was going on. Lao Shi obviously couldn't see any problems with every move and style, and he didn't see where Xiao Li played very well. Even before the noon closed the market, Li Xiangping carefully judged the situation.

He accurately judged the situation with the most calm and objective attitude, and he believed that Lao Shi's white chess had a little advantage.

But for some reason, Li Xiangping was a little uneasy today. He always felt that he had missed something, and he actually felt that Lao Shi was a little dangerous.

"It makes no sense, why did you feel this way today..."

During lunch, Li Xiangping was puzzled. He didn't know why he felt so strange. When he still couldn't find any clues, Li Xiangping felt that it might be because he was a bystander, so his investment in the game was not as good as the parties involved, which led to his missing.

However, out of trust in the plug-in, he still did not communicate with Lao Shi during noon, so he decided to take some time to find the problem by himself.

The afternoon game started soon. At around 1:30 pm, when Xiao Li lost his 83rd move, Li Xiangping finally knew where his uneasiness came from:

Danghu San!

The names of the two ancient chess saints Fan Shi have been passed down through the third game of the "Ten Games of Danghu" throughout the ages.

In that famous historical game, Shi Daqi Sheng has actually played very well, and the first 100 hands almost pressed against his senior brother Fan Xiping.

However, Shi Sheng lost the game and was defeated by a disadvantage of 9 pieces (equivalent to the current 18 goals).

The strategy Lee Sedol adopted today is very similar to the strategy of Fan Xiping Chess Saint.
