After returning to the capital, Li Xiangping obviously felt that the popularity of the "Phoenix Ancient City Cup" had further risen, after chatting with Lao Xie last time, of course he now knows that this is someone behind the rhythm, especially the rhythm of the party, there is even a "mass daily" to participate, that is of course not trivial, and it is precisely because of this that on September 6, two days before the official start of the game, he and Gu Dali have come to the Phoenix Ancient City in Hunan.

As soon as Li Xiangping arrived at the venue of the competition, he felt a wave of Go fever coming, the whole town was lit up everywhere, and propaganda slogans related to the competition were hung everywhere------ Li Xiangping had already been to many places to participate in the competition, but to be honest, to make a Go game so lively, like a festival, it really has to be this kind of small city to do.

Li Xiangping arrived at his destination at noon, and when he arrived at his hotel, he immediately got the daily schedule for the next few days: on September 6, he first visited the local Wanshou Palace, which is also the venue of this special chess battle.

On September 7th, the main match was a mat match, the mat match was participated by four top amateur chess players from China and South Korea, known as the "amateur peak showdown", Li Xiangping glanced at the list of contestants, he had no impression of the two Korean chess players, the name was completely unfamiliar, but the two Chinese chess players aroused his interest.

One of them is Hu Yiqing Hu Tianwang, the head of the "Hu King White Horse", the first person worthy of the name in today's amateur chess world, and the other is actually the "our party" Dang Yifei, Li Xiangping really didn't expect that this later professional world champion is still an amateur chess player.

From September 8th to September 10th, that is the highlight of this event, Li Xiangping VS Gu Dali three times lifting special chess battle, the game takes 3 hours for each side, and then reserves 10 minutes for 60 seconds of counting, there is no break in the middle of the game, and the three games of chess are played in a row.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two contestants, accompanied by the organizers and local officials, came to the local Wanshou Palace, and when they saw the Wanshou Palace, Li Xiangping still felt more cordial, because he was a native of Ganyuan, and the Wanshou Palace culture in the southern region of our country seemed to originate in Ganyuan.

For example, in the local area of Ganyuan, there is a saying of "praying for the blessing of Tengwang Pavilion, seeking wealth and longevity palace", and Hunan Province and Ganyuan are close to each other, and they are closely related in history, and the people of the two provinces also call each other "old watches".

When it comes to "old watch", Li Xiangping remembered an interesting thing in his previous life, remembering that he had just entered the university at that time, although at that time, he had been living in the capital for several years, but when he reported his home, he still liked to say that he was from Ganyuan and was from Ganyuan.

Then a guy in the class knew that he was from Ganyuan, and asked him very carefully: That Xiangping, I will call you Ganyuan Lao Watch in the future, you won't be angry, right?

Li Xiangping laughed at the time, saying that you are uneducated, our "cousin" roughly means cousin, you think it is a "in a", what is there to be angry about. Then the classmate also told him very seriously that he had met Ganyuan people before, and he was really angry when he called the other party "old cousin".

Seeing that the other party was so serious, Li Xiangping had no choice but to tell him very seriously: If you really encounter this kind of thing, it only shows one problem, maybe my fellow has no culture.

After Li Xiangping and Gu Dali returned from Wanshou Palace, they found that the follow-up troops had arrived, Dean Wang; Team Leader Hua; Lao Nie; Team Leader Ma; XU Ying; CHEN Ying; There are even Chang Hao, Kong Erjie and others, who are called "observation groups".

An ordinary competition of a commercial nature, but now, with the promotion of the cooperation of all aspects, such a big battle has been created, and in terms of specifications alone, it is no less than an ordinary world series.

Since there is already a battle no less than the World Series, of course, there must be a corresponding "pre-game speech", and at the reception reception and opening ceremony that night, Li Xiangping was rarely high-profile:

"It's a pleasure to come to the beautiful Phoenix Ancient City, Balabala...... How can you play a wonderful game with such a beautiful scenery? I'm not afraid to tell everyone, and please don't be angry, I have now made up my mind, this time I must strive for 3 to 0, 2 to 1 I will also regard it as a failure, because for me, the old watch of Ganyuan, I think that only in this way can I deserve the .......enthusiasm of the people of Hunan."

After such a long period of warm-up, Gu Dali certainly had a certain psychological preparation, so he was not surprised by Li Xiangping's high profile, and even he did not take the modest route this time:

"I'm not afraid to tell you that a month ago, Li Xiangping told me that he had specially prepared new kung fu for this competition, so now I want to tell you and everyone that I am ready, you can let the horse come."

Strictly speaking, since the two are chess players of the same country after all, no matter how high-profile they are, they will not have a strong smell of gunpowder, but don't forget, this game is being played by someone with a rhythm, so from that night, "Li Xiangping is ready to use new kung fu to deal with Gu Dali", at least on the major Go websites has become a hot topic.

"Ouch Xiangping Xiaoyou, this matter is too much, I don't know you yet, what new kung fu do you have now?"

Li Xiangping was angry and funny: "Brother Ding'an doesn't look down on people, how do you know that I don't have new kung fu." ”

"Really?"

"Of course there is, hehe, you'll see when the time comes."

The next day's mat match is nothing to say, because this is an event similar to the "Go Carnival", the two protagonists still have to show up, but they just sign autographs for the chess fans who rushed over, as for the guidance of chess or something, they don't need to go out with two people, and the tournament organizers automatically help them block the car.

On the morning of the next day, the two went to the place of the game Wanshou Palace, the specific place of the game has a very good name, is the "smoke and rain of the Pingsheng Building" of the Wanshou Palace, on the way to go, the ancient city actually rained lightly, that is, in the breeze and drizzle, Dean Wang personally presided over the two sides to guess the first, the first game is Gu Dali black first.

After seeing the result of guessing first, Gu Dali made a joke:

"It seems that my goal this time is to try to win a white shot."

Hearing him say this, Li Xiangping laughed silently, and Dean Wang also laughed silently------- this is a lifting match, according to the agreement before the game, you don't need to guess first in the second game, the loser will be black, and if you lose in the second game, don't guess first in the third game.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the game officially began, and only 15 minutes later, there were only 12 moves on the chessboard-------

Because Li Xiangping's move was completely beyond his expectations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xiangping's playing method today is something he has never seen in his decades of chess player career.

Since Dean Wang had never seen it, Gu Dali, who was a few rounds younger, naturally had never seen it, so when he saw this move, he looked up at Li Xiangping in surprise, and he was clearly saying: This is the new kung fu you are preparing?

Li Xiangping smiled at him, Gu Dali couldn't care about anything else, he began to think intently.

And in today's game room, in addition to Li Xiangping himself, there are also his plug-in Lao Shi who have seen this chess hand, so when Dean Wang left, Gu Dali was contemplating and thinking, and this guy began to speak:

"Ouch Xiangping Xiaoyou, this move, this move is a fake dog move, we have dismantled it before, this move is not a good move, and it can even be said that it cannot be established at all, how did you use this trick today?"

Hearing the statement "fake dog trick", Li Xiangping was happy at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that Lao Shi's statement was really appropriate-------

First of all, this move is not original to Li Xiangping, it is indeed from the hands of the first generation of dogs and the second generation of dogs, Li Xiangping has seen it in the 400 games of dog fights, so from this point of view, this chess hand is of course a "dog move".

Secondly: Now after Li Xiangping and Lao Shi's careful study, they think that this chess hand is not valid, just as the 400 chess scores show that the first generation of dogs or the second generation of dogs use this trick, and are directly beaten by the third generation of dogs-------

Because when the two of them first studied dog tricks, they knew that even if it was a first-generation dog or a second-generation dog, the level was far beyond their own, so although they felt strange at the time, they didn't dare to question it, but they just regarded it as an unresolved question, and they didn't dare to use it in actual combat, nor did they dare to publish it in the "Mysterious Prologue".

However, now six years have passed, and with the deepening of the understanding of dog tricks, especially the careful dismantling of the response of three generations of dogs, both of them are now extremely convinced: this step from the first generation of dogs or the second generation of dogs, it really cannot be established.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Shi will say the term "fake dog move", and Li Xiangping also decided to try it in today's competition.

As for the specific origin of this "fake dog move", I believe that as long as you have seen the 400 games of test chess games, people will have an impression, this is a step to destroy the three views of the "five-way sharp rush", if you are in order to play the 400 chess games, then in the first 3 chapters of the chess games, you can see such a hand of chess, and in the first 10 chess games, you can not only see once, but also see several times.

As for why this fake dog destroys the three views? I believe that chess players with a certain level of chess ability know:

Although the technique of "sharp rush" is common in Go, it is more common in "four-way sharp rush", and "five-way sharp rush" is unusual.

By "unusual" here, I mean this kind of means, either the kind of very good hand, or that is often a "fake dog trick".

There are a lot of good moves in the "five-way sharp rush", and in real history, Li Xiangping personally thinks that the most representative is two moves.

The first step is from the hands of a generation of "Ah Fa Dog", which in the first season of "Man-Machine War", in one of the games against Lee Sedol, it once took a step to look down on the overall situation of the "five-way sharp rush".

That move was praised by almost all human chess players, and Li Xiangping even believes that it was that move that changed the overall view of Go AI in human beings-------

Because when everyone is still not familiar with Go AI, everyone thinks empirically, or takes it for granted: the advantages of Go AI to human beings should be concentrated in specific calculations, as for some relatively virtual places, such as the overall view, the understanding of Go, human beings should still have a little advantage.

It wasn't until this chess hand came out that humans found that it was not the case at all, and the dog's overall view and overall view were far beyond that of humans, but in terms of specific calculations------ because the Go board is a limited closed space, then as long as humans are given enough time, at least the Go AI before the three generations of dogs is not advantageous.

The second step is the famous "five-way sharp rush", but it is from the hands of humans.

It was in the final of the first "Fujitsu Cup", Masaki Takemiya was in the match with Mr. Lin Haifeng, and he made a very beautiful "Rush Star Position".

That move directly determined the fate of the first world champion in the history of human Go.

That move, even compared to any high-level dog move, is not far behind, because with that move to "walk the dog", almost any version of the dog gave a close to perfect score.

Li Xiangping's hand today, of course, can't be compared with these two hands.

It's like Mr. Takemiya's back then, his "sharp star position" was a good move, but if it was a "triple star", what about the star position that you suddenly "rushed to" in the middle?

Li Xiangping's hand today is similar to such a sharp rush in terms of technique, so Li Xiangping actually knows that his chess hand is not valid, such as a fake dog move.

It's just that after the shot, Li Xiangping was not worried at all-------

Although it is not established, it is from the hands of dogs after all, and it still has a deep connotation.

Just like the famous words of Team Leader Hua: everyone must not underestimate the mistakes of the masters, because the masters must have their own reasons for making mistakes, and this reason may not be understandable by the low hands.

Obviously, even compared with a generation of dogs, Li Xiangping also thinks that the current Gu Dali must be a "low hand".

So today, he is actually using the mistake of a master to test Gu Dali's "low hand".

Gu Dali is still taking the long test, and the test is continuing.
