Chapter 400: A Flying Knife That Is Doomed to Be Unavoidable
As part of the opening ceremony, the "Wakashi Battle" is underway. Three young players who have just become professional chess players lined up and received guidance from top players from China, Japan and South Korea.
The original intention of the Japanese side to hold the "If the Lion Battle" is first and foremost commemorative: Now, you have finally become a professional chess player through your own efforts, so in order to congratulate you, let's commemorate it in this way.
What about the second meaning? In fact, there is also the meaning of giving new chess players a way to play. These new beginners have just stood out from the crowd of students and finally become professional chess players after fierce battles. Generally at this time, these new beginners are often full of ambition and high spirits. The significance of the Japanese Chess Academy's arrangement of this guidance is to let these new beginners recognize the gap and understand the strength and realm of the world's top chess players at this time:
"Rookies, don't be too happy, don't think how great it is to be a professional chess player, lo and behold, as a professional chess player, you are just starting your way......
With these two meanings, the Japanese side has always attached great importance to such a competition. And there is one advantage of Japanese Go, they pay attention to the etiquette aspect. For example, for an event like this, not only will they arrange a listing commentary, but the various ritual procedures will also be decent. In some years, the tournament is even held in a special game room in the "Mystery Room", giving it a high-profile feel.
Today is different, because foreign chess players are invited to participate, so the tournament is held in the hall. Of course, the listing explanation is still necessary. And what they arranged was precisely to explain the game of chess by Yukari Umezawa vs Zhao Zhixun, and they chose Mr. Masaki Takemiya......
To say that the Japanese Chess Academy has arranged it like this. That, of course, was painstaking. Under normal circumstances, the first player in Japan will be assigned to play the first player in Japan. This is the usual practice. The current No. 1 player in Japan is Koji Kobayashi. Why not arrange for him to play? It's not that Kobayashi Koji himself is unwilling. The chess academy may have taken into account: Kobayashi Koji is really boring, and his people are the same as his chess. Down-to-earth and dull, he really lacks the ability to interact with chess fans. And Masaki Takemiya is different from Zhao Zhixun, they are not only strong in chess, but also very good at dealing with chess fans, and they are extremely popular among ordinary chess fans. Having them attend this event will achieve better results
Needless to say, Masaki Takemiya has countless fans for his "cosmic stream". In real life, Mr. Cho Ji-hoon is also a very interesting person. He is a funny and humorous person, especially when talking about chess, and he often makes witty remarks. For example, a few years later, the listing explanation by Cho Ji-hoon and Yukari Umezawa was the most famous golden combination in Japan. Superb chess skills and naughty character make Mr. Zhao Zhixun also very popular.
Well, the most famous golden pair of the future are now sitting on the stage. And the person in charge of explaining it happens to be Mr. Masaki Takemiya, Zhao Zhixun's "natural and life rival". Li Xiaoqiang watched this scene. It's very interesting to think about.
Today is the open day of the Japan Chess Academy, and from the afternoon, a large number of chess fans have come here. The chess fans who came to the Japan Chess Academy today are also very happy. Today, so many Go masters from all over the world gather at the Japan Chess Academy. If you want to play chess. There is every opportunity to ask for a game from masters from other countries, and if you don't want to play chess, that's okay, they can go and listen to Mr. Takemiya's explanation of the hanging plate.
Many of the foreign players who come to participate in the Fujitsu Cup interact with Japanese chess fans. However, among them, the most popular is not Cao Yanzi Nie Whirlwind, nor Li Xiaoqiang. It's from the South American player Akirul. Mr. Akirul had a big beard, and he was not well-known now, only because of his Westerner status. Everyone is more curious about him. But Li Xiaoqiang knows that in real history. Mr. Akirul later participated in several "Fujitsu Cups", including one of his sessions. He made a name for himself by beating several Japanese professional players.
Even now, Mr. Akirul is surrounded by a lot of people. In the crowd, Li Xiaoqiang even saw his old rival when he first debuted, Mr. Imamura Wenming, the Japanese amateur king. He's been practicing with Akirul now. Around them, chess fans are even more surrounded by three circles inside and three times outside, and their popularity is by no means comparable to other professional chess players.
Li Xiaoqiang didn't go to play chess, he just walked around the entire venue accompanied by reporter Zhang Da and Wang Yi Wuduan, it seemed that Ma Xiaofei's game for a while, and Xu Fengzhu's game for a while, and then sat down in the place where the listing was explained, focusing on seeing how the chess of Mei Ze and Zhao Zhixun would play.
"Xiaoqiang, you just watched Ma Xiao's chess, how do you feel?"
"The level of the early stage in Japan is still not good, and it is much worse than our domestic level. I just looked at it, and Mr. Ma is very comfortable. I guess ah, after all, this is someone's territory, and Mr. Ma is still embarrassed to play the black hand, so he slowly soaked with the opponent there, but it was impossible to win at that early stage, everything was under Mr. Ma's control. ”
"Hahaha, is that so? What about Seo Bong-so's plate? ”
"Lao Xu's plate almost means the same thing, the difference is that Lao Xu's choice of method is different from that of Mr. Ma. Didn't you pay attention just now, Lao Xu chose the fierce battle at the beginning, in fact, after the first contact battle, the advantage of the two has been regained a lot by Lao Xu. I estimate that by that time, Lao Xu's strength against his opponent will already be bottomed. So I deliberately put it away, and I didn't pick the most ruthless one in the back. After all, everyone is here to visit, isn't it? If you solve the opponent in three or two clicks, the master's face is not good-looking, is it? ”
"Oh? So what do you think will happen to this plate? Now everyone is saying that Umezawa was taught by you, what do you think this game will be? ”
"Hey, hey, Mei Ze is studying at the Chinese Chess Academy, it's everyone's credit that she can set the stage, how did it become what I taught by myself, don't talk nonsense. As for this plate, I don't think there is any suspense, Lao Zhao's kung fu is not simple, and he doesn't have as many scruples as Mr. Ma, according to his temper, he is unlikely to release water. Therefore, I think that the highlight of this game of chess is not the question of whether Lao Zhao can win, but the question of how long Mei Ze can hold out. ”
Sitting in a corner of the hanging plate explanation hall, Li Xiaoqiang watched the progress of the game, and easily talked with Wang Yi and Zhang Da reporters in a low voice. Just when Li Xiaoqiang was in high spirits and pretended to be a magic stick. A change on the big chessboard left Li Xiaoqiang dumbfounded.
At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly found that he couldn't pretend to be a magic stick.
"Hey, Xiaoqiang, why don't you speak, why are you in a daze at this time...... Hey, hey, Xiaoqiang, wake up, Masaki Takemiya called you on stage, and he invited you to interact with the chess fans on stage......"
"Oh? …… What did Mr. Takemiya just say? ……”
As Mr. Zhao Zhixun's "enemy", especially when explaining such a game, Mr. Nawu Gong will naturally not be polite. He was extremely sarcastic and sarcastic about Zhao Zhixun's moves, which also caused bursts of laughter from the chess fans sitting at the bottom. However, it backfired, although Wu Gong tried his best to belittle Zhao Zhixun's moves, the process of the entire chess game seemed to be just like Li Xiaoqiang's prediction. The whole chess game only played more than 50 hands, and Mei seemed to have suffered a lot of losses in a local rush, and the advantage of 2 pieces seemed to be almost offset at this time.
Just when Mr. Takemiya became more and more bored the more he talked, and the more he spoke, the more he couldn't justify himself. A change appeared on the chessboard that made Mr. Takemiya suddenly excited:
"Huh? Is there such a hand? This is the first time I've seen this change, is this change valid? The first feeling is that it doesn't look like a good chess ...... But if you do the math carefully, you will find that white is not easy to deal with...... I can't figure it out, but this change is a bit complicated. Ladies and gentlemen, I must admit here that I really can't figure it out when I stand on the stage. This place needs to be analyzed...... Hehe, to tell you the truth, when I first saw this move, I immediately remembered a person. Moves like this are clearly from the hands of a chessboard wizard. As we all know, the reason why our Mei Ze was able to achieve good results now is because she went to the Chinese Chess Academy for half a year to study. Maybe this trick was really taught to her by the chessboard wizard. I am honored to tell you that Li Xiaoqiangjun, a talented chess player from China and known as a chessboard wizard, is also here. Now I want to invite him to the stage and ask him to help you analyze the specific gains and losses of this part, and everyone will say whether it is good or not......"
Li Xiaoqiang shook his head and walked to the front desk like this. At this moment, he felt a little proud and a little lost in his heart.
The method that Yukari Umezawa just used was naturally one of the flying knives that Li Xiaoqiang carefully built for her. This is where Li Xiaoqiang is proud. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang's loss is also justified. Because the flying knife that Umezawa just used is already the second time it has appeared in front of the world. This flying knife was told by Li Xiaoqiang that he had never had a chance to shoot, and this was where he was depressed.
That's right, the trick that Umezawa just used was the throwing knife that was pioneered by Yoo Chang-hyuk in his previous life and used to defeat Zhao Zhixun in a rapid chess final.
In this life, Li Xiaoqiang's first time was to teach this flying knife to the "Wang Liar" in his hometown, and he used this flying knife to kill Yang 4 Duan from the provincial capital in one fell swoop. What Li Xiaoqiang never expected was that the second appearance of this flying knife was actually from the hand of Yukari Umezawa, and the object of her killing was actually Mr. Zhao Zhixun.
Li Xiaoqiang felt very funny, and at this moment, he glanced at Zhao Zhixun silently.
"Is this a stab you are destined to take? Can't you hide no matter how you dodge? ”
So at the same time, Li Xiaoqiang even saw Liu Changhe in the crowd. Li Xiaoqiang sighed silently for him:
"If you want history to repeat itself, you need to sharpen another throwing knife......" (To be continued)
