After the Spring Festival, it soon came March 2009.

Under normal circumstances, March was considered the off-season for Go competitions, but this year's situation is different.

The third phase of the "Nongxin Cup" competition will end in March.

In addition to this normal game, the elusive "Chunlan Cup" suddenly announced that the final three games will be ahead of schedule and the battle will end in early March, and the location will still be in Taizhou, Jiangsu.

Immediately afterwards, the "Yingshi Cup" organizing committee announced that the first two games of the 6th "Yingshi Cup" final five games will be held in mid-March, in Shanghai, China.

So in this way, South Korea's Da Lee suddenly became the busiest professional chess player this month - he is not only the main player of the Korean team in the "Nongxin Cup", but also participated in the finals of both individual competitions.

It is precisely because of Da Li's sudden activity that it caused a wave of "memory killing" in the entire world chess world. Many people are writing articles to express their strength in the past and his retreat in front of Li Xiangping.

Of course, what everyone talks about the most now is whether this former king can "re-create glory" after Li Xiangping announced his withdrawal from the regular season.

Not only that, after some preliminary preparations, the newly released "Evergrande Cup" also announced that the qualifiers will officially start in late March. The high prize money will attract more than 300 professional chess players and more than 40 amateur masters from all over the world to register. At that time, everyone will gather in the capital to compete for a total of 48 tickets to the regular competition.

So many games are crowded together, but the world chess world in March looks very lively.

Of course, Li Xiangping has nothing to do with all this.

Now he is in his senior year and is about to graduate in a few months. So in addition to carrying out unique training with his own plug-in, he still needs to care about his studies. Otherwise, if he has worked hard for four years and cannot even get a graduation certificate, Li Daqisheng will not be able to afford that person.

The most important thing in the second semester of senior year is of course to write a graduation thesis.

It’s ashamed to say that as a science and engineering man, I studied a philosophy on a whim in my previous life. He didn’t know how to write this graduation thesis, and he had no idea how to choose a topic.

Finally, it was fine. Li Xiangping was the school's mascot after all. He was a dignified Peking University, so of course he could not treat him badly. So shortly after the start of school, the head teacher came to him enthusiastically:

"Xiangping, you probably haven't thought about the topic of your graduation thesis yet? Come on, I've found a few for you, you can choose any of them yourself."

When Li Xiangping heard this, he was overjoyed and thought that the mascot was a mascot. Look at the treatment, he didn’t even have to worry about the topics himself. Peking University is indeed not a big deal.

However, after he had read the topics, Li Xiangping was a little stunned at that time:

Philosophical thinking of the real estate industry.

On the Philosophical Thoughts of the Sports Industry.

On the philosophical thinking of the cultural industry.

....

“…….”

Li Xiangping said that this is a very difficult topic. Of course, I know that philosophy is like a panacea, but these topics are too weird, right? Philosophy and real estate? What kind of brains do you need to produce so many thoughts.

"How is Xiangping?"

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

"If you are good, choose one, haha, choose one."

Li Xiangping took a deep breath, then closed his eyes when the instructor was not paying attention, and decided to draw a random draw by drawing lots.

Wait for him to take a look: On the philosophical thinking of the cultural industry in the new era.

"Well, Xiangping is good. It seems that you have prepared for a long time. It's not bad. You have also filmed the show yourself. It's appropriate to think about it here. OK, that's it."

Li Xiangping was amused and crying at that time. He thought to himself that the cultural industry in the new era, what my buddies are most familiar with are actually the unspoken rules. Did I ask me to think philosophically from this perspective? But you have never taught me in the past four years?

But there is no way. Since the instructor said it was OK, of course he, a poor student, could not resist. Anyway, he could not find out if he asked him to choose a topic himself.

So in this way, Li Xiangping took such a weird topic and went home, preparing to spend a few months to compile his graduation thesis.

On March 7, the first game of the "Chunlan Cup" final, affected by this strange topic, Li Xiangping did not go to the chess academy to watch the game, but stayed at home and watched quietly.

As a result, after nearly 7 hours of fierce battle, Chang Hao defeated Da Li with a clear advantage and achieved a 1-0 lead.

"Oh, Brother Ding'an, this Korean chess player is no longer at his peak. If it were today's situation five years ago, he would definitely not lose. He made a mistake in his strongest field. Do you think this situation is a sign that our human chess player has fallen from the peak?" ---------

In today's game of chess, Li was originally the leader all the way. It is rare for him to establish a slight advantage in front of Chang Hao in the sequel. It is even rare for him to make two mistakes in the official stage, which led to his reversal by his opponent, which made Li Xiangping feel so emotional.

"Haha, indeed, we human chess players can't do as stable as that machine, but the mistake that came later is still a bit difficult to understand. It's not at this level at all. I feel like this person has distracting thoughts. Is there something else that has divided his heart?"

"Haha, I remembered what you said. Recently, after reading Korean media reports, Da Li seemed to be in a relationship. Well, Shi Fo also moved his heart. No wonder his chess has shaken."

"Oh, that's a big wonder. Haha, if you want me to say that Xiangping's friend is really good, this person is not as good as you in this regard. If you have half of your ability, no, even if you only have 30% of your ability, you will not be likely to lose in this game today."

Hearing Lao Shi say this, even if Li Xiangping is shameless, he feels a little embarrassed:

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, don't make fun of me..."

After a day off, the second round of the final continued. In the second set, the two veterans born in the 1970s performed at an extremely high level. Lao Shi, who had a very high vision, sighed repeatedly when watching the game:

"Oh, together, clear and clear, branches and vines are blooming, this is the state of sitting and illuminating. In our era, it is generally recognized that only Senior Yuetian had reached this state, but if we only look at this stage, both of them have reached this state..."

It was the same fierce battle that lasted for nearly 7 hours, and it was Chang Hao and Jiu Duan who smiled and said the last.

Half eye!

In the end, Chang Hao defeated Da Li with half the advantage of his goal, winning the world championship trophy for the first time in his career.

He is also the fifth world champion of professional Go in China after Ma Xiaofei, Li Xiangping, Gu Dali and Kong Erjie.

After seeing the results, Li Xiangping was also happy for Chang Hao.

"Hehe, Chang Rensheng, he has not given up at the age of 33 and is still on the front line of the chess world. This alone is worthy of the name of Rensheng."
Chapter completed!
