The competition with the new chess players temporarily came to an end, and Li Xiaoqiang focused on other events. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Throughout May, Li Xiaoqiang participated in not many competitions, in addition to the "Daily Battle" five-way chess challenge, this year's "Weijia League" will also start this month.

From 95 years to regain the title of "Tian Yuan", to last year Li Xiaoqiang has achieved 4 consecutive hegemony in the "Tian Yuan War", and this year will strive to achieve 5 consecutive hegemony. Although this record cannot be compared with Ma Xiaofei's record of dominating the "Celebrity War". However, as we all know, there is a special meaning in the world of Go, for example, in Japan, if a player wins five consecutive times in a certain chess battle, he can get the so-called "honorary title".

Fujisawa Hideyuki Honorary Chess Saint, Otake Hero Honorary Qi Sheng, Lin Haifeng Honorary Tengen, Kato Masao Honorary Throne... And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth. In Japan's "Six Supers", except for Masaki Takemiya, who has not won an honorary title, the other 5 have all had such honors. Mr. Takemiya is a two-time World Champion and has defeated Cao Yanzi in the 'Best of the Best' contests. But why do many people still think that he is the weakest of the "six supers"? This may also be an important reason.

Although there is no such thing as an honorary title in China and South Korea, under the influence of the Japanese Go community, everyone still attaches great importance to the 5 consecutive hegemony, and regards this as a sign and a barrier to distinguish the level of chess players. Li Xiaoqiang is naturally no exception to this, so he attaches great importance to this year's "Tian Yuan" title defense.

In this year's "Tianyuan" battle, Li Xiaoqiang ushered in a new challenger, he is Zhou Dayang in the "Eight Horses".

The current pattern of the domestic chess world is like this: Li Xiaoqiang takes the lead and is in a far leading position. Li Xiaoqiang's leading position can be seen in the rating. As a result of winning five world championships in a row in the past two years, domestic chess battles also occupy more than half of the titles, which makes Li Xiaoqiang's rating score a big cut above the others, and no one can shake the lead in a short period of time.

In addition to Li Xiaoqiang, Ma Xiaofei and Chang Rensheng ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively, and the two of them seemed to be a little more active than others in addition to being inferior to Li Xiaoqiang, so they were also considered the second echelon of Chinese Go. Next are Yu Bin, Shao Weigang, Liu Dazhu, Luo Shenzhu, Zhou Dayang and others, these people are considered the third echelon.

Although it seems that an echelon has been formed, everyone knows that this structure is not so stable, and this balance can be broken at any time due to the close level of everyone.

For example, in this "Tianyuan Competition", although Ma Xiaofei is in a very good state after entering this year, he missed Luo Shenzhu in the "Tianyuan Competition", and then Luo Shenzhu lost to Chang Rensheng, and Chang Rensheng also did not go to the end, he was defeated by Zhou Dayang in the challenger decision, and finally Zhou Dayang won the right to challenge.

This is the current situation in the Chinese chess world, except for Li Xiaoqiang, who seems to be far ahead, the gap between others is very small. And with the gradual maturity of the "Eight Horses" group of chess players, in the foreseeable future, this group of chess players will take the lead in Chinese Go.

The "Tian Yuan War" challenge that followed continued to prove this trend, and Zhou Dayang's performance surprised everyone.

Although he did not defeat Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang finally defended his title "Tian Yuan" with a score of 3-1, and at the same time achieved the first five-game hegemony in his career. However, due to the recent period of time, Li Xiaoqiang's light is too dazzling, especially in the confrontation with new chess players, Li Xiaoqiang has let many people see his unfathomable.

And Zhou Dayang not only snatched a victory in the hands of Li Xiaoqiang this time, even in Li Xiaoqiang's several wins, Li Xiaoqiang also won not as easily as imagined, two of which were won by a narrow margin, and in the subsequent review, Zhou Dayang was not without a chance in this game.

All in all, through this "Tianyuan War" final, everyone has witnessed the birth of a powerful chess player, and anyone who meets Zhou Dayang in the future will know that this is definitely an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Many people are a little strange, Li Xiaoqiang can be so strong against cutting-edge chess players, why does Li Xiaoqiang's advantage against Zhou Dayang in this "Tianyuan Competition" not seem so big?

Li Xiaoqiang himself is not surprised by this. Of course, this does not mean that the current Zhou Dayang is already very strong, strong enough to compete with Li Xiaoqiang. Why is this happening? Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is likely to be mainly caused by Zhou Dayang's chess style.

Zhou Dayang is a well-known "thick school", in fact, most of the disciples of Nie Sect are thick in chess, such as Chang Rensheng, Chang Rensheng is recognized as a "thick school" in the current world chess world, even if it is the later Gu Dali, Gu Dali is actually very good at using thick taste. As for Zhou Dayang, he may be slightly inferior to Chang Rensheng in terms of overall strength, but in terms of "using thick taste", he is the best among the "Eight Horses", and even Li Xiaoqiang is ashamed of his ability in this regard.

This type of chess player has a characteristic, when they are in good shape, or when they are at their peak, it is difficult for you to knock him down with one punch, even if they lose, there is rarely a "big defeat" or "crisp defeat", and the four games of this "Tian Yuan War" actually fully illustrate this characteristic.

But then again, there seems to be a downside to this type of player, which is that they seem to have a very short peak period. In addition to Zhou Dayang in the Chinese Go world, there is also a chess player in the later "Little Leopard Generation" who is very similar to Zhou Dayang's style, that is, Park Wenyao, who has been as famous as "Chen Xiaoqiang" since childhood. When Park Wenyao first emerged in the world chess arena, his record may not be better than Chen Xiaoqiang, but he is definitely much more stable than others, and he has entered the top 8 and top 4 in the world championship that year, more than other "little leopard" chess players. He is also the first "Little Leopard" player to win the World Championship.

But such a chess player, after winning the world championship, quickly slipped from the peak, let alone the world champion, even in the "Weijia" is a little reluctant.

Why is the peak period of such a player so short? Of course, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't say why. It is entirely due to the fact that they did not work hard enough, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that this view is a bit biased, in fact, there is no good professional chess player who does not work hard. If you want to forcibly find a reason, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that it may have a lot to do with their chess style.

It is true that they have a thick chess style, and it is not wrong that they are good at using thick flavor when playing chess, but this kind of chess player often has a weakness, that is, the impact when playing chess is not enough, and at the same time, the speed of chess is not fast enough, and it is easy to play some "slow".

So when they're young, they're still on the rise. Young players naturally have an impact, and when they combine this natural impact with the characteristics of their style, they can often achieve very good results.

But as they get older, when the natural impact is gone, then they are like a limp foot, so their grades naturally plummet.

"If only there was any way to help them...

After defeating Zhou Dayang to defend Tianyuan, Li Xiaoqiang was so cranky. The reason why Li Xiaoqiang came up with this idea is not that he has a special affection for Zhou Dayang or Park Wenyao. He just thinks that their unique style of chess is very rare, especially in later generations, their "thick school" chess players are as scarce as giant pandas.

Li Xiaoqiang thought of Park Wenyao from Zhou Dayang, and then thought of other "little leopard" chess players from Park Wenyao.

“。。。 Now these children, the oldest should be in their 10s, should I start now? I can't rob the "Little Tiger Generation" Gu Dali Kong Erjie and these people, but when it comes to the "Little Leopard Generation", then I must have a good time over the addiction of "Teacher Li", right? Hey... ”

Just when Li Xiaoqiang thought about it:

"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, and you don't have to think of a way...

It was his uncle Hu Yi and Jiang Chenghua of the Ganyuan Go team who came together. Hu Yi is now a celebrity in the Go world. In addition to holding a novel tournament in a big way, it also assisted the "World Go Federation" in establishing a ranking system for world professional chess players. Although this ranking system is still in the "trial operation" stage, it has attracted the attention of many people. Because of these two incidents, the name of Hu Yi and his "Tian Yuan Group" has been known to many Go enthusiasts.

However, Hu Yi did not come for these two things this time, he came for the "Weijia" thing, in fact, from the day of the establishment of the "Weijia", Hu Yi is one of the most important sponsors of the Ganyuan team.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang knew the intention of the two of them, so after seeing the two of them coming together, Li Xiaoqiang could only smile wryly:

"There's really nothing I can do about it...

Up to now, the "armor enclosure" has been going on for several years. And the lineup of the Ganyuan team has remained the same. To say that the Ganyuan team has always been very eye-catching, this team has the world's No. 1 Li Xiaoqiang, the super foreign aid Li Shifo, and the former "blunt knife" Qian Yuping. However, in the past few years, the Ganyuan team can only play the role of "giant killer" at most, but their results have not been up or down, and they belong to the kind that has no hope of winning the championship and worry-free relegation.

The reason for this is of course very simple, the "Wai Jia" is compared to the overall strength, and a "lame" team like the Ganyuan team is naturally unable to achieve particularly good results

。 Li Shifo only participates in a few competitions a year, and as Qian Yuping gets older, his "blunt knife" has lost its former power. Especially entering this year, the team also intends to transform him into a player and coach. Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang himself does not count on this year's results, and he defines this year's Ganyuan team as a relegation team.

Li Xiaoqiang has never taken the matter of "armor" to heart, because he has never regarded "armor" as his main battlefield. His main battlefield should be in the World Series, and "Weijia" should be a stage for "backbone chess players" and cutting-edge chess players to hone their skills. This is the "armor" in Li Xiaoqiang's mind.

But Li Xiaoqiang can not care, and others may not care. For example, Jiang Chenghua, for example, Hu Yi. People are ambitious, for example, when "Weijia" was first founded, everyone was very satisfied that Ganyuan could have a first-class team, but after a few years, whether it was the ambitious Jiang Chenghua or the ambitious Hu Yi, they were very dissatisfied with the status quo of the Ganyuan team, and they were eager to let the Ganyuan team go to a higher level. That's why they came to Li Xiaoqiang this time.

However, Li Xiaoqiang really has no good way.

Looking for another "super foreign aid", let's not say that the chess association will not agree, even if the chess association agrees with Li Xiaoqiang himself, he is not willing. "Wai Jia", it is best to be a stage for domestic chess players to practice, in which Li Shifo can be embellished, if it becomes a stage for foreign chess players, it will go against the original intention of holding "Wei Jia".

How many domestic players are recruited? It is also very difficult to do so, not to mention that the "Wai Jia" has not established a real transfer system at all. And now the domestic Go atmosphere is getting better and better, the "Weijia" is becoming more and more popular, and the well-known domestic chess players are very popular, not to mention the first-line chess players such as Chang Ren Shengzhou Dayang, even if it is the future star of Gu Dali Kong Erjie, the Ganyuan team can't pry at all.

At this time, Li Xiaoqiang thought of the future "little leopard generation".

"There is no other way, let's form our own youth team first, cultivate ourselves if you can't pry people, and wait for young people to become talents after a few years, I think our team will always have a day to emerge."

Jiang Chenghua and Hu Yi looked at each other, of course they were very aware of the current situation of Chinese Go, and they also knew that what Li Xiaoqiang said was the only way.

"What about the selection of talents?"

"We all had a misunderstanding in the past, we were limited to finding in the province, this time we just played bigger, we simply cast a net across the country, so I think we can always collect some good seedlings...

When Li Xiaoqiang said this, he seemed to be full of interest and confidence. Of course, as a reborn, this is the only place where he can cheat, and cheating itself is one of the greatest pleasures of the reborn.

The so-called sleeper touched the pillow, just when Li Xiaoqiang was planning the future with great interest, the knock on the door sounded again, it was Coach Wu of the national junior team and Coach Liang of the Beijing team:

"Xiaoqiang, we brought a child to meet you, this is this year's children's champion in Beijing, many people say that his chess is very special... Hurry, call Mr. Li... ”

A tiger-headed child appeared in front of Li Xiaoqiang:

"Lee... Hello Mr. Li. ”

Li Xiaoqiang looked at it, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed:

"This... Isn't it the future "Chen Xiaoqiang"? . . (To be continued.) )
