At the end of the game, Li Xiaoqiang sat in his position and was reluctant to get up for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The importance and significance of this game goes without saying.

With the win, Mr. Sakata became the record holder for the highest win percentage of the year. With this win, he has won all of his international competitions this year.

There is no doubt that this is a brilliant achievement, and I don't know if there is such an achievement behind it, but it is definitely unprecedented! As the outside world has commented: This battle is the battle of your own gods!

But all this is not what makes Li Xiaoqiang feel the most, what he is most emotional about is an opponent like Li Shifo, and the spirit of chess shown in this game of chess.

It was because of his cooperation that his victory seemed so perfect. It is precisely because of such a great opponent as Li Shifo that his achievements appear so brilliant.

"No regrets, congratulations."

After losing the game, Li Shifo seemed relatively calm, and he even took the initiative to extend his hand to congratulate Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang once again looked deeply at his old rival. When he said "no regrets", he meant that he had no regrets about the content of chess, which Li Xiaoqiang could certainly understand. But in Li Shifo's heart, does he really have no regrets? Li Xiaoqiang thinks there are still ones.

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang even thought of the Li Shifo who had been alone in the world for 10 years in his previous life, and the Li Shifo who was once in a high place. At that time, what was the difference between him and him in this life? Li Xiaoqiang couldn't understand, and he didn't want to know.

The only thing Li Xiaoqiang knows is that in his previous life, he respected this peer very much. And in this life, although he has been suppressed by himself for a long time. It can even be said that he has trampled him under his feet.

But my respect for him has not diminished in the slightest!

"Take care."

Li Xiaoqiang suddenly said something inexplicable to Li Shifo, and Li Shifo naturally heard it inexplicably.

But only Li Xiaoqiang knows why he feels like this.

Because after this set, it's 2005 in a few days. In real history, 2005 can be seen as a landmark year in the history of Go. In this year, Li Shifo won his last world championship, and from the perspective of later generations, the 10-year-long "Li Shifo era" officially came to an end.

Li Shifo is still like this, so what about himself? When will your time end? This is the reason why Li Xiaoqiang expressed such emotion.

This was the end of the last game of 2004. Naturally, this match caused a lot of repercussions:

"The chess god is in place! Li Xiaoqiang reached the peak... ”

"The terrifying Li Xiaoqiang, the desperate Li Xiaoqiang, the incomparable Li Xiaoqiang...

In the midst of such a hustle and bustle, the time finally came to 2005. No matter how noisy the outside world is, Li Xiaoqiang's heart is still calm.

"Who can win a game against me? This statement is too exaggerated, there are still many chess players in this world who can win me, for example, Luo Shenzhu, who won me 3 games in a row last year... ”

At the dawn of the new year, the hottest topic in the Go world is, of course, "who will win Li Xiaoqiang's game?" "Everybody's talking about it, everybody's guessing who the next player to beat Li Xiaoqiang will be.

Regarding this question, Li Xiaoqiang himself was very modest, and in an exclusive interview with reporter Zhang Da, he also specifically named Luo Shenzhu's name.

After the end of the "Nongshim Cup" competition, Li Xiaoqiang continued to stay in Shencheng. In January 2005, there were many Go tournaments held in Shencheng, one of which was the domestic "Tianyuan Battle" qualifier, and the other was the top event in the amateur chess world, the "Evening Cup".

Li Xiaoqiang stopped in Shencheng because of these two games, and the place where he was interviewed was actually in the "Tianyuan War" qualifiers.

Because of the relationship with reporter Zhang Da, the so-called "exclusive interview" is actually similar to small talk. Li Xiaoqiang's special mention of Luoshen Pig is not untargeted.

In recent years, there seems to be an interesting rule in the Go world, that is, no matter who wins a game against Li Xiaoqiang in an official match, then for the next period of time, this player will always show good competitive form, and you can often hear the news that he keeps winning in the arena.

Such a rule is actually very common in the Go world, and the fact that a player can beat the top player is in excellent shape, and the fact that he has beaten an opponent who is better than himself is in itself a great help to boost confidence and morale.

It's okay to win a game of chess, not to mention the Luo Shen Pig who cut Li Xiaoqiang 3 games in a row last year. The current Luoshen pig is in this state of rage.

In the past 2004, in addition to Li Xiaoqiang, the best domestic record was Luo Shenzhu. He won last year's "CCTV Cup" and "Advocate Chess Cup" consecutively, and also won the "National Hand Battle" and "Chess King Battle" two challenge rights. Although he was repelled by Li Xiaoqiang in both title battles, he once again showed the momentum of a comeback in this "Tian Yuan Battle", and he has now reached the top 4 of this qualifier, and is the most popular candidate to win the right to challenge this "Tian Yuan Battle".

"Now it's up to your precious apprentice to see if he can avenge his master... Reporter Zhang Da joked with Li Xiaoqiang. In the semi-finals of this "Tianyuan War" qualifier, Luo Shenzhu's opponent happened to be Li Xiaoqiang's eldest disciple "Chen Xiaoqiang".

After joking, reporter Zhang Da then sighed: "It's really a new year, look at the top 4 of this Tianyuan War, no matter which one comes up to challenge, they are all younger than you." I'm used to seeing you challenge your seniors, and now I see that you're about to accept the challenges of your peers and juniors, and I'm really a little unaccustomed to it. ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled, the top 4 chess players in this "Tianyuan War" are Luo Shenzhu, Chen Xiaoqiang, Gu Dali and Chang Rensheng, here is Luo Shenzhu and Chen Xiaoqiang against each other, and Chang Rensheng and Gu Dali are fighting over there. It's really like what reporter Zhang Da said, these chess players are younger than Li Xiaoqiang.

Among these challenger candidates, in addition to Luo Shenzhu, who is currently in a "rampaging state", the most eye-catching is naturally Chen Xiaoqiang. Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu are members of the "Eight Horses", and Gu Dali is the leader of the "Little Tiger Generation", and it is normal for them to enter the top 4 of a domestic competition. Among them, only Chen Xiaoqiang is the only one, whose outstanding performance has led to the domestic "Little Leopard Generation" chess players also beginning to join the competition.

"Speaking of Xiaoqiang, your vision is really good, your precious apprentices... Tsk, who would have thought that you would be able to win last year's "Weijia" championship by leading a few Boy Scouts, and in this, I think the most depressed person is probably Lao Nie. ”

"Of course... When Li Xiaoqiang mentioned this, he was very proud.

In last year's Weijia League, the members of the Ganyuan team were Li Xiaoqiang, Li Shifojia and Li Xiaoqiang's four baby apprentices. Among them, Li Shifo rarely plays. Originally, according to Li Xiaoqiang's meaning, such a team no longer needs Li Shifo. However, considering that Li Shifo has served as a firefighter for so many years, he has made great achievements for the Ganyuan team to be relegated every year.

Now that the strength has increased and the strength to win the championship, it is a little embarrassing to sweep people out of the house at this time, so I still signed a contract with Li Shifo.

However, throughout last year, Li Shifo played the role of "mascot" most of the time, not only him, but even Li Xiaoqiang reduced the number of appearances. But such a "scout" swept the entire Weijia field last year, and even the worst record of Iyama Yuta has a winning rate of more than half, so winning the final championship is naturally a matter of course.

Reporter Zhang Da specifically mentioned at this time that Lao Nie is of course not without reason, and the two most famous complete training institutions in China at present, the "Chess Saint Dojo" founded by Lao Nie and the "Li Xiaoqiang Go School" run by Li Xiaoqiang.

In terms of scale, of course, the "Chess Holy Dojo" is much larger, and its branches are all over the country, and when it comes to the origin, it can be said that most of the current junior chess players are from Lao Nie's sect.

But on Li Xiaoqiang's side, it can be said that he is taking the "elite route", especially becoming Li Xiaoqiang's "inner disciple", which is almost the dream of all chess boys.

It's a pity that several years have passed, and Li Xiaoqiang's disciples have not been added again. "Four Great Disciples" or "Four Great Disciples", is Li Xiaoqiang no longer accepting apprentices? Or has there been no chess boy who has been able to enter Li Xiaoqiang's eyes so far?

When someone asks about Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang always smiles and says nothing.

"Xiaoqiang, don't you want to accept it? Or is there no young chess player that you can look up to? ”

Reporter Zhang Da asked about this question.

"Of course it will be collected, and I'm not afraid to tell you that the time should be soon."

"Oh?"

Reporter Zhang Da was very interested, just as he was about to ask questions.

"Master...

It was Chen Xiaoqiang who came to the two of them.

There is no need to ask at all, just look at Chen Xiaoqiang's demeanor, you can know that he should have won the Luo Shen Pig, and he is only one step away from the challenge of "Tianyuan War".

"What about that side? What's going on over there? ”

"It seems that Brother Gu has won over there."

"Good!" Li Xiaoqiang laughed:

"I hope you will make persistent efforts and win the big way, and we will also stage a master-apprentice duel in the Chinese chess world."

After talking to Chen Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang turned to reporter Zhang Da again:

"Let's go, now accompany me to a place."

"Huh? Where to? ”

"Go to the "Evening Cup" field. ”

"Go to the "Evening Cup" that? Oh, you want to go see Zhao Dabao, right? Dabao, this kid is terrible this year, he is a bit like Luo Shen Pig this time, he is also in a state of rage, don't you say, he is really likely to win the "Evening Cup" championship this time... ”

Li Xiaoqiang laughed again:

"It's one thing to visit Zhao Dabao, but more importantly, this time I'm going to go over and take in my fifth disciple."

"Oh?"

This time, reporter Zhang Da was really interested. (To be continued.) )
