Chapter 316 Controlling
“…Okay, let’s stop here for the review.
“Well…congratulations, Brother Li, for winning the fifth world championship! ”
December 1, 5 pm.
South Korea, Kyoto Road, Konchi Resort.
As Xiaoliu's gentle voice came, Li Tingyan felt an unreal feeling when he had just finished.
Although he has indeed prepared a lot for this LIG Cup, he also used his years of competition experience to adjust his condition to the best before this LIG Cup.
But winning the championship in one fell swoop... He had never thought of such a thing before the game!
After all...he is already thirty years old!
“Ah, thank you Xiaoliu, I’m sorry, I accepted it!”
Li Tingyan seemed a little shy when he heard the congratulations from his opponent in the final.
The world championship at the age of thirty is still surprising.
When he won the Spring Orchid Cup four years ago, he thought it would be his last world championship.
Although all previous South Korean Go leaders won their last championship after the age of 29.
But Li Tingyan himself understood that the previous great masters at that time were indeed superior in strength. Only then did they have the strength to compete for the championship when their chess skills had gradually retreated from their peak!
As the one with the weakest overall strength among all the leaders of the past generations, when Lin Ruixin was still young and Master Liu started to emerge, he had already started to decline and there was no reason to expect too much from his future results.
However, Lin Ruixin's premature decline later was almost beyond everyone's expectation. Only one absolute hegemon in the world of chess gave him more opportunities as a veteran;
And in the new century In the third decade of the 2010s, Chinese Go, which has always been known for its thickness, has shown signs of being out of control. The number and quality of the "post-00s" generation of masters have significantly decreased, which also allowed Li Tingyan to maintain his competitiveness;
In addition, Ryu Se-hyun's overall condition this time is not so ideal. With the right time, place and people, Lee Ting-yeon, who originally didn't have much hope, actually won another championship in this LIG Cup, which is really a surprise!
......Sure enough.
The essence of Go lies in unremitting persistence!
At this time, Li Tingyan sighed softly in his heart.
Five world championships, which among active chess players is second only to Lin Ruixin’s seven crowns and Ryu Shixian’s six crowns.
Although it is too much to point to overtaking Mr. Liu - Xiao Liu is still at the peak of his rapid harvest of world championships!
Li Tingyan is quite relieved to be able to get closer to Lin Ruixin by one championship.
Although there is a three-year age difference between the two, they actually had the same peak period and were leaders in China and South Korea. They are often compared. In terms of the general understanding in the chess world, it is naturally 7>4, even if This is the number of times to end the Nongshim Cup, and Lin Ruixin also leads 3-1.
However, Li Tingyan, who has always been modest and pragmatic, said nothing, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with this in his heart.
He thinks that he may be a little weaker than Lin Ruixin, but the two are still on the same level as chess players overall - this can be seen from the basically 50-50 direct head-to-head record between the two.
The reason why his results in both the World Championship and the Nongshim Cup are worse than Lin Ruixin's are mainly because the Chinese "post-90s" generation of chess players are too strong.
In this way, it goes without saying that in the Nongshim Cup, facing the Chinese team of five players, all of whom are basically at least the top fifteen in the world, they have repeatedly faced two or more Chinese players who have taken turns to attack Li Tingyan. It's miserable.
Even in the World Series, which is nominally an individual competition, because of the existence of "same country priority avoidance" (lots are drawn again in each round, and it is a general principle to give priority to ensuring that players from the same country do not meet during the draw, and this is implemented in most world competitions), every time Lee Ting-yeon has to After defeating all the Chinese masters, they had a chance to enter the finals.
Facing South Korean chess players whose thickness was obviously worse, Lin Ruixin had an easier time winning the championship. It is not surprising that he could win more world championships.
The fifth crown...
If I can win one more crown in the future, then the chess world's evaluation of myself as a "mortal" should be higher... …
Having always been down-to-earth, he couldn’t help but look forward to the future.
Just when he began to enjoy the most comfortable time after winning the championship, Master Xiaoliu's next words suddenly brought him back to reality.
“Well, Brother Li, I don’t have anything to give you as a gift.
“Let’s do this! Or in this Nongshim Cup... let Brother Li play as the main player? This way you can celebrate and get some rest!
"I'll try my best to win as many games as possible to give you a holiday, Brother Li!"
"...Eh?"
Li Tingyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately realized that he had other games to play:
The Nongshim Cup is not over yet!
He immediately burst into joy and asked the staff aside:
"Um, I'm sorry!
"Today's Nongshim Cup game...Lei Qi won Already? ”
The notator who was asked nodded:
"I won, with half eyes beating Hanyu Masacho's ninth dan.
"The overall situation is not too big, Lei's ninth dan win is not bad. smoothly. "
Tsk...
Li Tingyan, who looked happy just now, immediately became serious again, turned to Xiaoliu and said:
"That...Xiao Liu!
"I may have better luck in this final, but don't make random jokes!
"I have already said that our leader can only be you now!"
"Ah! There is no such thing as luck in Go!"
The young master of the Liu family is still smiling.
"You just defeated me. Based on your current status, you are clearly more qualified to be the commander!"
"So I have to block Lei Qi and give you time to adjust your status!"
Li Tingyan Said without a doubt.
Anyone who is a soldier with some intelligence will not question the supremacy of his czar just because he won the MVP of some game.
“Although Lei Qi struggled to win this time, and it was obvious that he was not in good condition, he has already won a considerable numerical advantage for China.
"If I let you out now, wouldn't I let you go to one against seven?"
"Anyway, I will buy a ticket to Buzhou right away. You can rest for a while."
"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you no matter what in the third stage, but I will try my best to go to Dongjiang with you next year!"
"Brother Li! I think I..."
Seeing that the tsar seemed to be interested in charioting and conquering in person, Li Tingyan immediately took on the airs of his seniors and interrupted without hesitation:
"Xiao Liu! Be obedient!
"If you just lost the LIG Cup final today and go to the Nongshim Cup tomorrow, if anything happens, the most troublesome person will not be you, but me! Do you understand? "
Seeing that Li Tingyan had said this, Liu Shixian, who was originally eager to try it, didn't want to mention it anymore, so he could only bow slightly and said:
"Then... thank you for your hard work, Brother Li! "
"It's okay, Xiaoliu, adjust yourself well, I'm leaving now! ”
After saying this, Li Tingyan patted his leader on the shoulder, then walked out of the game room, hurriedly went to accept the post-match media interview, and after preparing for the routine, he went straight to Buzhou.
"Hey... I didn't succeed!" Seeing that Li Tingyan had left, Liu Shixian sighed slightly, looking quite regretful.
“One against seven...
“I think I...
"It's not impossible."
…
…
"Huh? Lao Li won?!"
At the same time, Buju Nongshim hotel.
Having just finished today's game and interview, the slightly tired young man blinked his eyelids several times when he heard the news brought by coach Jiao Kaiina.
As we all know, Li Tingyan's winning rate against Mr. Liu in the past two years has been very dismal, and he may have to lose eight or nine games before he can regain one set.
When Li Tingyan regained a game from Koyanagi in the second set, most of the media regarded it as a sign of saving up his character. As a result...
This third game was too old. Li actually won again? !
Although Lei Qi knows that Lao Li has devoted his limited energy to key games in the past few years, he does have a considerable upper limit when he is in good condition.
But to win two games in a row against the world's best player in a three-game final was still too outrageous.
After all, if Mr. Liu failed to win the championship in the World Series in recent years, he would have failed accidentally in the earlier single-elimination knockout match.
——For example, in this year's Sanshuang Cup, the young master of the Liu family was tricked by Brother Hen in the quarterfinals and was eliminated early.
Once you enter the Fanqi stage, it is really difficult to beat Ryu Shixian.
In the past three years, only in the semi-finals of the Miao Jia Bai Ling Cup last year, Dai Gong relied on his excellent form and the two white games he drew (the overall white game under Chinese rules was slightly better) to eliminate Liu. Young Master, the rest are all black.
And this time...Old Li actually did it? !
"Did Liu Shixian make any mistakes?" Lei Qi couldn't help but ask.
"No..."
Jiao Kai shook his head:
"It's just...I always feel that Liu Shixian's competitive state is not very good, and the quality of his chess is not as good as He used to be so scary.
"There are some chess games that cannot be said to be bad, but they are not so good as to be unique.
"Furthermore, Li Tingyan is in very, very good shape in the recent LIG Cup. To be honest, just looking at the match the day before yesterday, In these two games today, I think Li Tingyan is more suitable to be the general...
"Hey, they really would arrange it like this!"
"No way."
Lei Qi shook his head decisively and said:
"Uncle Jiao, think about it! The one who arranges the order of battle in South Korea is Lao Li!"
"He is a very low-key and pragmatic person. How could he think that he can be the leader just because Liu Shixian lost a third game to him?" The commander in chief!
“If Mr. Liu is not in good condition and loses the first set, wouldn’t he be criticized by thousands of people?
“He will definitely go out to fight first, and then give in at the same time. Master Liu adjusted his condition.
“According to his usual style... maybe he won’t even celebrate at all, so he bought a ticket and came here tonight!”
"That's right...you're not a bad captain!"
Jiao Kai nodded when he heard this, and then looked at the young man with admiration.
"I just know Lao Li better."
Lei Qi was modest and casual, with no happy look on his face.
“However, I really didn’t expect that Lao Li could still be in such good shape... He obviously didn’t do well in the league this year...
"But if Master Liu can win without any obvious mistakes... Tsk!"
Speaking of this, the young man shook his head helplessly.
Jiao Kai saw that his vanguard seemed a little down, and quickly encouraged him:
"You are not bad at all! You won the game today very well! Rui Zhao also did it during the live broadcast in the afternoon She keeps praising me!
“She just told me that she thought you were very controlling in this game today! It feels like defeating the enemy without fighting.
"I also feel that you are a bit like you were in the first half of the year."
However, Lei Qi still just smiled helplessly:
"Uncle Jiao, it's not like I don't know how to control the game. It's just that my chess skills are not good enough!
"Like this time, the only chess players who participated in the group competition are Zhao Suxuan, Masanaga Hanyu and Yoshimoto Yamama who can play like this. I can't guarantee the suppression. This... you should know. "
"Aren't I trying to encourage you? "Jiao Kai laughed and cursed.
He naturally knows that the method of controlling the market needs to be based on the judgment of one's own situation and the local calculation that is obviously superior to the opponent's.
If your opponent's strength is similar to or even greater than that of your opponent, you will want to control the opponent but cannot. Using this method will easily delay your opportunity.
But after teasing the junior, Jiao Kai straightened his expression and said:
"Then...why are you losing your chess skills?
"You are now You are just eighteen years old. Normally you are on the rise, but why are you on the decline? ”
"This..."
Lei Qi's expression suddenly became complicated, and then he replied politely but refused to make it clear:
"Just... I feel depressed after losing the chess holy war. Practice chess." It's just missing."
"...Really?
"It's not like...there's a girl you like or something?" ”
Jiao Kai once again tried a little test.
Then...
He received a rare eye roll from Lei Qi.
"Uncle Jiao... Do you, one of your own, want to give me some outside moves?
"I haven't been eliminated yet! ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Jiao Kai couldn't help but shrink his neck, thinking that this little Shang Qi King really looked a bit like his teacher when he got emotional.
Thanks for merging into tomorrow's update.
