Mentioning the other three "a"s in the Go world, the conversation between the two opened up. After all, there are already many such candidates. After reporter Zhang Da reported a lot of names, Li Xiangping gave his own opinion.

Answer.

"Haha, do you think Japan's show chess master can occupy an "a" spot?"

Li Xiangping nodded: "Yes, I just said my criteria for judging: first, this chess player has absolute dominance in his own era; second, this chess player has his own vision for the development of Go.

In fact, compared with the previous three, I think the achievements of the others are even lower. So, taking the second best, Japan's show strategy is already considered the best among them. How to say it? If show strategy is the pioneer of Japanese ancient chess

, then Hidetoshi is the master of ancient Japanese chess, "undefeated in black", "19 consecutive victories in imperial chess", and created the famous "Showtaku style". These are the reasons why he was selected. It is a little regrettable that

, Xiuce was short-lived and only lived for more than 20 years, so he was unable to create greater glory, which also compromised his dominance. Therefore, although he is "a" in my mind, he is only square "a"

"."

Hearing what Li Xiangping said was interesting, reporter Zhang Da became more and more interested:

"Xiu Ce is the "a" of diamonds? That means he is ranked 6th in your mind? Then who are the 4th and 5th? Xiangping, please tell me about the "a of red hearts" and "a" in your mind

Who are the "A of Clubs"?"

Li Xiangping showed a strange smile:

"The "Ace of Clubs" in my mind is shared by two chess players..."

Shared by two chess players? Reporter Zhang Da was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he is a senior Go reporter after all. Based on the characteristics of Li Xiangping's ranking, he quickly guessed who these two people were:

"Haha, I understand. The two chess players Xiangping mentioned should be the two people named in your name, right?"

Li Xiangping continued to maintain a strange smile, not because of anything else, because at this moment he could feel that when he said this just now, his own plug-in seemed to be breathing heavily.

"That's right, there is nothing to say about the dominance of the two seniors Fan and Shi. Moreover, Fan Xiping wrote "Peach Blossom Spring" and Shi Xiangxia left "Summary of Important Points", both of which made outstanding contributions to the development of Go theory.

The only fly in the ointment is that they are two dominant players, so I let them share the position of "Ace of Clubs", which should make sense."

Anyway, this is just a family opinion, so reporter Zhang Da certainly doesn’t care whether Li Xiangping’s statement is true or not. He just urged:

"What about the "Ace of Hearts"? Who does Xiangping think the "Ace of Hearts" in the Go world is?"

When it came to "Ace of Hearts", Li Xiangping hesitated for a moment and was silent for about 10 seconds before he answered:

"In my mind, the "Ace of Hearts" in the Go world is the number one player in the world of chess today."

"Ah?! Li Canghao? You actually think that Li Canghao is the "Ace of Hearts" in the Go world..."

I can’t blame reporter Zhang Da for being surprised. Look at the people in the row in front of Li Xiangping. The youngest Mr. Wu Qingyuan is almost 90 years old. It can be said that they are all ancient gods in the Go world. Therefore, he did not expect that Li Xiangping actually

I would put Lee Chang-ho, who is only in his early 20s, on this list, and he is still ranked 4th.

However, this is indeed the real ranking in Li Xiangping's mind. The reason why he hesitated just now was not because of anything else, but mainly because it was only 2000. In real history, Li Canghao won his first world championship in 1992, but he

The real peak period of Li Canghao is believed to be from 1996 to 2005. These 10 years are generally recognized as the "Lee Canghao Era".

The time has just passed halfway, so it’s far from the time to finalize the coffin, so Li Xiangping hesitated just now. But after hesitating, Li Xiangping decided to speak out his true thoughts:

"Yes, I do think Li Canghao is the "Ace of Hearts" in the Go world, because apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else who can take his place. Reporter Zhang, you can think about it, if we continue to recommend candidates

, it is nothing more than choosing one of the 4 people from Japan, Mr. Sakata Eio, China's Teacher Nie, Korea's Lao Cao and Japan's Cho Ji-hoon 9th Dan? Reporter Zhang, who do you think among these four can replace Da Li's position?

"

Reporter Zhang Da thought about it and found that what Li Xiangping said seemed to be true. It seems that these four people should not be ranked higher than Da Li. Needless to say, Lao Cao and Lao Zhao, Lao Cao was beaten by Da Li in China.

It can be said that Li Canghao stepped on his master to rise to the top. As for Lao Zhao, Da Li is his super hard opponent. So far, Zhao Zhixun seems to have never defeated Da Li in official competitions. Therefore, if

If these two were ranked at the front, of course no one would be convinced.

As for China's Lao Nie, well, he is not afraid of Da Li at all. His record against Da Li so far is 2 wins and 2 losses, and at the beginning, Lao Nie even defeated Da Li with two beautiful sets.

It's just that Lao Nie has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not a world champion. He has never won any world championship!

And what about Da Li? Even now, he has won 11 world championships. Therefore, if Lao Nie is ranked in front of Da Li, it will certainly not be convincing.

And what about Mr. Eio Sakata, the former overlord of Japan? Reporter Zhang shook his head. He also quickly rejected this candidate. Mr. Sakata was indeed the former overlord, but his dominance was very short-lived. In the early days, he was completely suppressed by Mr. Wu Qingyuan.

Mr. Wu finally withdrew from the stage of history, and he was beaten by Mr. Wu's disciple Mr. Lin Haifeng.

On the other hand, according to Li Xiangping's evaluation criteria just now, Mr. Sakata seems to have made little contribution to the theory of Go. He can be regarded as a top "winner", but he can hardly be called a true "master" of Go. Therefore, if

It seems unreasonable to rank him at the front, especially in the high position of "Ace of Hearts".

Reporter Zhang Da stopped pestering him and said to Li Xiangping with a smile:

"So Xiangping, these four people you just mentioned are the four "old K's" in your mind, right?"

Li Xiangping also smiled and nodded, and with his nod, the two of them stopped continuing the topic. After all, the "weapon spectrum" only needs to be arranged here, and there is no point in arranging it any further.

After asking about "Li Xiangping's version of the weapon spectrum of Go", reporter Zhang Da had nothing to say in the rest of the interview, just some routine questions. Finally, he asked Li Xiangping to comment on some of his own results in this qualifier.

After a few games of chess, this interview is over.

To be honest, I originally only discussed the technical issues of those few games, and there should still be a lot to watch. Unfortunately, these were all ignored by Zhang Da reporter. The reason is very simple, because Li Xiangping is not famous at the moment. He is in Go.

He has no status in the world, so although his moves are novel, no one believes in the judgment he gives.

Just like the chess game against Cui Mingxun at the eighth level, Li Xiangping knew that he had won the "Demon Sword Variation" at the beginning, but when he told this to Gu Dali and Luo Xihe, they didn't believe it at all.

His judgment showed a complete lack of interest in what he said.

Professional chess players are all like this, so Go reporters like Zhang Xiaoyong are naturally like this. How can he trust the judgment of a guy who can't even enter the stage?

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiangping also knew this very well, so when it came to the "self-combat explanation" later, Li Xiangping himself had a perfunctory attitude, which led to the entire interview ending hastily.

But after all, they chatted for a few hours. After this interview, the relationship between the two became familiar. After the interview, reporter Zhang Da said to Li Xiangping:

"By the way, Xiangping, I heard Coach Wu say last night that you will be training at the Chinese Chess Academy in the next month or so, right? Then do you want me to take you to the Bye Bye Pier in the afternoon?"

Li Xiangping agreed with a smile that the "Samsung Cup" competition is only more than a month away. So in the next more than a month, if he can go to the Chinese Chess Academy to train, Li Xiangping thinks the effect should be better than his own online

Training is better.

Yesterday, Coach Wu was the one pulling the strings, and now there is a reporter from Zhang Da who wants to build a bridge with him, so Li Xiangping certainly has no reason to refuse.

So just like that, in the afternoon of that day, Li Xiangping, accompanied by reporter Zhang Da, came to the China Chess Academy to prepare for the next stage of the competition.

After all, he is a player who has entered the main round of the World Series through his own efforts. Therefore, the chess academy still welcomes Li Xiangping's arrival and makes it easy for him to train, especially through the care of Coach Wu.

A large number of top players from the national team took turns training against Li Xiang behind the screen.

The masters of the national team actually welcomed Li Xiangping's arrival. You must know that on the current Qingfeng.com, "Jue Yi" ranks first in the rankings with a record of 122 wins and 0 losses. And among these 122 wins, there are

Many dead souls are national team chess players, so of course everyone welcomes the arrival of such a chess player.

So just like that, Li Xiangping started training at an average speed of one game of tight chess every day. After training like this for a month, what is Li Xiangping's training record?

His training record is astonishing, and it also makes people laugh and cry.

What surprised me was not that Li Xiangping's results were too good, but that they were too bad. In a whole month, Li Xiangping's total record was 5 wins and 25 losses, with a winning rate of less than 20%.

If Li Xiangping is really an amateur chess player, then such a record is still justified, but considering the prestigious reputation of "Excellent Art", especially in the previous Samsung Cup qualifiers, he seemed to advance easily, then such a record,

Of course it seems a bit shabby.

But no one underestimated Li Xiangping because of this, because although Li Xiangping only won 5 games, the 5 opponents he defeated were Chang Hao, Luo Xihe, Zhou Heyang, Wang Lei and Gu Dali.

In other words, Coach Wu ranked 30 opponents for Li Xiangping. Li Xiangping lost to everyone else, but he won the strongest 5 among them.

Of course this will make people laugh or cry.

No one knows why, except Li Xiangping himself.
