After Li Xiaoqiang defeated Hiroshi Yamashiro, the busy month of May finally passed. This month, Li Xiaoqiang played a total of 10 professional matches, and his overall record of 6 wins and 4 losses was barely passing. However, this did not prevent Li Xiaoqiang from becoming a celebrity in the Chinese Go world. Not only in China, but also in the Japanese Go community, there is a lot of quarrel about Li Xiaoqiang.

Some attentive chess fans found that when Li Xiaoqiang played against Japanese chess players, his winning rate was surprisingly high. Needless to say, for this reason, Li Xiaoqiang has appeared 12 times in the ring so far, and his 11-1 record is absolutely impeccable. Even with the previous year's confrontation, Li Xiaoqiang's total score reached a terrifying 17-3. Of the three games he lost, one was also included in the trilogy with Imamura Bunmi.

"The one who really took advantage of the mysterious boy was actually Mr. Yasuro Kikuchi, an amateur chess player!"

A Japanese chess fan suddenly made this "amazing" discovery after collecting all kinds of information about Li Xiaoqiang. So he published his "research experience" in the Japanese Go community. After carefully recalling it, we found that this was really the case. This also greatly embarrassed professional chess players in Japan. So far, the only professional chess player who has beaten Li Xiaoqiang is Hiroshi Yamashiro Kudan. However, he didn't take advantage of anything, and this was not soon "retaliated against".

With this discovery, Li Xiaoqiang naturally became the "number one enemy" in the Japanese professional Go world. For a time, "defeating Li Xiaoqiang" became the primary goal of the Japanese Go community. Of course, there are still beneficiaries, and Mr. Yasuro Kikuchi is the beneficiary. Mr. Kikuchi is not only an amateur, but also a Go educator, and he founded a "Green Star Chess Garden" in Japan, and in the past few days, the number of Japanese chess children who have come to him to learn chess has suddenly increased......

If there is pride, then there will naturally be depression. In Japan, the most depressed person is actually the little girl Yukari Umezawa:

"This damn fellow. Why didn't he let me do it at the time? If that game is a draw, then I'll ......."

Li Xiaoqiang once again inexplicably lay down the gun.

After entering June, it has become a popular fried chicken freshly baked in the Go world and even in the sports world. Li Xiaoqiang still seems busy. He is now busy "making reports" everywhere and introducing his "advanced deeds." Today, Li Xiaoqiang has a "report", and he is talking about how he used his "fighting spirit" to defeat one Japanese Jiudan after another. Listening to the report below is the newly established Chinese Olympic delegation.

Li Xiaoqiang has never been able to figure out how much the "fighting spirit" plays a role in competitive sports. Especially for Go, does the "fighting spirit" really work? Don't worry about overfighting? The best mentality in Go should be "moderate nervousness", too much nervousness is not enough. It's easy to deform your moves, and it's not good to be too relaxed, which will reduce your sensitivity to chess. As for the "fighting spirit", it should have nothing to do with Go. Li Xiaoqiang even believes that it basically belongs to the category of idealism.

However, we Chinese like this tone, especially in the sports world, and if we don't say two words of "tenacious struggle", we are simply embarrassed to mix in the Chinese sports world. Li Xiaoqiang is of course a sports person now. For such a thing, he would definitely not be a non-mainstream. Anyway, you don't have to write the report yourself. Reading it by yourself is to practice your own speech skills.

"Liu Er, why don't you get a second-stage certificate back this time. If you don't get to the second dan, don't call me boss when you come back. I can't afford to lose that man. ”

In the dormitory of the national junior team, Li Xiaoqiang held a red book in his hand, showing off his power in triumphant. What he was holding in his hand was the five-dan certificate that had just been issued to him by the Chinese Weiqi Association. Start today. Li Xiaoqiang is finally a "senior professional".

Originally, as a reward for the last ring competition, this five-stage certificate was issued a long time ago. However, Nie Whirlwind did not receive the title of "chess saint". As the initiator of the Huang incident, Li Xiaoqiang was embarrassed to receive his "prize" alone. When Li Xiaoqiang won 6 consecutive victories in the ring again. The management, led by the "Four Elders of Go", almost forced Li Xiaoqiang to accept this rank certificate.

Chen Chaoyue Jiuduan even joked with Li Xiaoqiang and said:

"I said Xiaoqiang. This time, you have to accept it anyway, otherwise our Go Association will cause public outrage and will be scolded by chess fans. Besides, for the sake of the face of the Japanese Go community, you must also accept ......"

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang himself would not care much about such a thing. After the Chinese professional Go began to implement the grading system, the rank certificate was more like an honorary title. However, everyone has said that this is the case, and it is impossible for Li Xiaoqiang to continue to be hypocritical.

Team Leader Hua on the side was even pretending to "complain" about Li Xiaoqiang:

"Hey, you stinky boy, you know how to give us problems. In case you really take down the Martial Palace, I really don't know how many paragraphs Lu Dao will give you. Well, we're going to have to have a nerve-wracking time then. ”

"Haha

Naturally, when the ring match came to this, the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Masaki Takemiya became the top priority in the Sino-Japanese Go world. The Japanese Go community, in particular, attaches great importance to this game. The emergence of the "pioneer vs. main general" situation also caught the sponsors of the competition a little off guard. A ring match usually takes more than half a year, and under normal circumstances, it should be the time when the competition is "in the best place". But all of a sudden, it seemed like the sponsors were ready for the closing ceremony......

After friendly negotiations between the Go circles of the two countries, the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Masaki Takemiya was postponed. The postponement of the tournament has also been a frequent occurrence in previous tournaments, and in the past, it was mostly because the players whose turn was too busy to schedule. This time, it seems to be the same case.

Masaki Takemiya in 88 seems to be at the peak of his career. He has now not only reached the semi-finals of the inaugural Fujitsu Cup. is also busy defending his title in the "Ben Yin Fang War". The challenger is the long-lost Otake Hero Kudan, who is currently in a fierce battle. It makes sense that the ring match was postponed because of this.

On top of that, Takemiya has also had very good results in other title fights this year. He has won the right to challenge the Japanese "Throne" battle and will challenge Masao Kato "Throne". In Japan's most important "chess holy war", Takemiya also entered the "Supreme Chess Warrior Decisive Battle", and his opponent was the old enemy Zhao Zhixun. This is a three-way chess, and whoever wins will get the right to challenge the "Chess Holy War", and the current "chess master" in Japan is Kobayashi Kojikudan.

For a time, Masaki Takemiya became a busy man in the Japanese chess world. Professional chess players are like this, as long as they have good results and more opportunities to play, they will appear very "busy". Compared with Wu Gong, Li Xiaoqiang is much more relaxed. It's not that his grades are not good, it's that the professionalism of Chinese Go is not as mature as Japan, and he doesn't have as many opportunities to play as others.

The date of the tournament has not yet been finalized. Li Xiaoqiang's strings, which had been tightened, also relaxed. The main Go tournament in China in June is the Dan Rank Competition, which is currently not many Jiudan in China, and most chess players will participate in this competition. Li Xiaoqiang has no interest in this competition. He didn't sign up at all. Although Coach Luo and the others were greatly annoyed that Li Xiaoqiang despised the sacred rank so much, they were still helpless. Because Li Xiaoqiang's reasons are also very strong.

Let's not forget that in addition to being a professional chess player, Li Xiaoqiang is currently a junior high school student. When Li Xiaoqiang proposed that he had to go back to his hometown to take the "high school entrance examination", everyone also had nothing to say.

"Don't worry, boss, last year's promotion tournament was my last game, otherwise I was the second stage last year, and I was two sets away, so this year will definitely be fine." You should be worried about yourself, I really don't know what kind of madness you are going to think of taking the entrance exam. You haven't studied for so long, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pass the exam? Don't be ashamed when the time comes. ”

"Hehe, who am I, your boss? Dealing with a small high school entrance examination is not easy to catch. Mind you, I probably won't be messing with you in the second half of the year. When the time comes, I will be a high school student, and if I am with you little kids every day, I will definitely be looked down upon by others. ”

"Shh......h

In this way, Li Xiaoqiang, who had left his hometown for nearly half a year, returned to Cuiwei County. In a strong nostalgia, Li Xiaoqiang relived that comfortable feeling.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't have to worry about the problem of "not being admitted to high school". In fact, the matter of making Li Xiaoqiang to make an exception to enter the international Go team has been put on the agenda. For Li Xiaoqiang's alma mater, Cuiwei Middle School, it is not a question of whether Li Xiaoqiang can be admitted to high school, but a question of whether he can keep his school status. If Li Xiaoqiang enters the national team, then his file and household registration will have to be transferred to the capital. What to learn will naturally be arranged by the "organization".

For Cuiwei Middle School, of course, it is unwilling to "lose" such an excellent student. To this end, they did a lot of ideological work. Li Xiaoqiang's parents are very democratic, and Li Xiaoqiang makes his own decisions. Li Xiaoqiang didn't want to think about it at all, so he decided to keep his student status at his alma mater. This made Lu Fanyun, who had done the most hard work in ideological work, overjoyed.

Because of the emergence of a Li Xiaoqiang, the atmosphere of Go in Cuiwei County and even the entire Qiancheng City has become much stronger. Compared with the previous life, not only is the number of enthusiasts much higher, but the overall level is also a cut higher. Lu Fanyun even ambitiously wanted to declare the national-level "hometown of Go", but he was still a little disciplined, considering that Cuiwei County had no Go background before, so he had to give up.

After Li Xiaoqiang returned to his hometown, he was not a few days away from the day of the "high school entrance examination". Although he doesn't have to worry about exam scores at all, Li Xiaoqiang still pretends to go to school every day.

"Try your hand, try your hand, why is this move so difficult. Well, now it's completely "time is tight, the task is heavy" ......"

Li Xiaoqiang lamented in his heart. (To be continued......)
