Shencheng, China.

Entering Shencheng in November, there is already some coolness. However, the China, Japan and South Korea Go Tournament is being held here, and the entire arena continues to heat up. After Li Xiaoqiang defeated Cao Yanzi in an extremely exciting way, he won 3 consecutive victories while also bringing the atmosphere of this Three Kingdoms Tournament to the climax.

Li Xiaoqiang's victory caused a great sensation in the world chess world.

To say that the competition format of the ring competition may indeed be very in line with the taste of our Chinese and even East Asians. The reason why Guan Yunchang's allusion to "passing five levels and killing six generals" can be widely talked about by everyone may be related to this taste.

It can even be said that stories similar to "passing five levels and killing six generals" are not only easy to talk about by everyone, but also popular with everyone. Right now, it seems that a similar story is playing out in the Go world. Therefore, when the Chinese team is left with Li Xiaoqiang alone, when he has passed the test in a row and completed the last level of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of South Korea, it is difficult not to cause a sensation.

"The ongoing China-Japan-South Korea Go Tournament is undoubtedly the most ups and downs in the world chess this year. Regarding the process of this Three Kingdoms Tournament, I think even the most imaginative screenwriter can't write a similar script. Originally, Mr. Seo Bong-so's 8-game winning streak was already incredible. But what is surprising is that Mr. Seo Bong-so, who has completed the feat of 8 consecutive victories, may not even be the protagonist of this Three Kingdoms Tournament. The protagonist is likely to be someone else! Can Li Xiaoqiang be the final protagonist? We don't want to say anything more now, let's wait patiently for the final answer to be revealed tomorrow. ”

In addition to the format, the reason why the final game was so eye-catching was, of course, related to the two participants. Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo, they just turned 20 this year. They are widely recognized as two of the most outstanding young players in the world chess world. They are the only two "triple crowns" in the world chess world, and they have now achieved more than most of their predecessors.

So far, Li Xiaoqiang's results in the World Series are three championships and one runner-up. Li Shifo is also three crowns and one runner-up, and the two are equally divided.

So far, the two have met 10 times in the past few years, and the two sides are tied at 5-5.

So far, Li Xiaoqiang's Go has integrated the essence of ancient Chinese chess, and his "global correlation" and the idea of "exhaustive change" have profoundly influenced the current world chess scene and led the transformation of Go technology. And Li Shifo also promotes the progress of Go technology with his unique chess style, with his "accurate judgment of the situation" and "scientific official".

In this regard, the two are still evenly matched!

Next up this game. It will be the 11th time the two have met. Many people believe that based on the strength of the two of them, they will definitely be able to meet often in the World Series in the future. The number of times the two of them have fought each other, there will definitely be a lot in the future. If you take Juban as a stage. The first juban of their lives was not decided. Then tomorrow's game of chess is the starting point of the second juban chess in their lives.

At the beginning of their second juban chess, who will have the upper hand?

The next game is undoubtedly a big win and defeat with great weight, although this is only a rapid chess match, the Three Kingdoms Ring Tournament is also just a team competition. But tomorrow's match is the final of the team competition. To know. Unlike other tournaments, there is no match fee in this tournament, and only the champion has a prize money, and the second and third places have no money. So tomorrow this game of chess. It was a "game worth 300 million won". By the way, there is a winning streak in the Three Kingdoms Tournament, so for Li Xiaoqiang, tomorrow's match will be "a game worth 310 million won".

All of this, all of it. Give so much meaning to tomorrow's game that it makes it seem extraordinary. Naturally, then, this game attracted enough eyeballs.

During Seo Bong-so's crazy winning streak. Almost no one thought that the Chinese team would be able to win in the end, and the TV station did not broadcast the previous game live. However, when the game has come to this point, the Imperial Court TV Sports Channel has decided to broadcast tomorrow's final live.

Not only Imperial Court, Japan, Tokyo. A certain Go program of a TV station.

"Yukari, please pay attention, I just received a notice that the "Celebrity Battle" that will be broadcast live tomorrow afternoon will be canceled and other programs will be recorded instead. ”

"Huh?" The "Celebrity War" is now entering the last moment, and whether Mr. Kobayashi can take revenge on Mr. Zhao is in this move. What is the reason for the cancellation of the "Celebrity Fight"? ”

"Needless to say, to be able to make way for celebrity battles, of course, is a more important and eye-catching game. What other game will you qualify for tomorrow besides that one? ”

"Yes...... It's his game, he's ...... Can he win tomorrow......" It's been a long time since I've seen Li Xiaoqiang, Yukari Umezawa was so obsessed that I didn't hear what my colleagues said clearly.

"Time is pressing, I still have to contact the Chinese side now, and you, please prepare some background information to introduce tomorrow's players, and use it tomorrow when you put up the listing to explain."

Beijing, China. At a construction site near the China Chess Academy, Lin Mengyu was busy there with a hard hat. Li Xiaoqiang's uncle Hu Yi is not far from her.

"Mengyu, take a break, don't be tired."

Lin Mengyu smiled at Hu Yi: "Uncle...... Mr. Hu, it's okay. ”

Seeing Lin Mengyu change his name from "uncle" to "Mr. Hu", Hu Yi sighed in his heart:

"Alas, this guy Xiaoqiang...... By the way, what will this guy be able to do tomorrow......"

Also in the capital, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China.

"I said Lao Chen, what are you doing, you, the chairman of the Go Association, just go over in your official capacity, and do business, what kind of leave do you need to ask for?"

"In the first few games, none of our management went to Shencheng, and the consideration at that time was for fear of increasing pressure on Xiaoqiang. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for Xiaoqiang. ”

"So now......"

"So now, we still don't dare to put pressure on Xiaoqiang, so I need to take a leave of absence, and I want to go to watch the game as an ordinary chess fan."

Also having similar thoughts to Chen Chaoyue are Nie Whirlwind, as well as Coach Luo. Except that Team Leader Hua needs to stay in Beijing to do tomorrow's live TV. The management of Chinese Go is almost out of the nest.

Countless people are watching tomorrow's game, and too many people are rushing to the game. Then as two parties. The two protagonists of tomorrow's game, what is their situation now?

After the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Cao Yanzi, the two finalists were interviewed by reporters. In an interview, Li Shifo's words were neither high-profile nor low-key, and he didn't even talk about victory or defeat. However, his words are unusually sonorous and intriguing.

"For me, tomorrow's game is undoubtedly my biggest game of the year. I even think that if I lose tomorrow's fight, the two world titles I won this year don't mean anything. ”

When the microphone was raised in front of Li Xiaoqiang. Although Li Xiaoqiang had a smile on his face when answering the question, although his words were shorter, his words were also full of a strong smell of gunpowder:

"I said before I went on the pitch that the Koreans haven't won yet! Please wait and see, I have always ...... Talking counts......"

The day of the finals is finally coming, in fact, the day of the finals is coming soon. Only one day apart, Li Xiaoqiang walked to the arena again accompanied by reporter Zhang Da.

"I said Zhang Da reporter, usually at this time. Aren't you all incarnate chatter? How not to speak today. ”

"Hehe, the match between you and Li Shifo, then what else do I have to say, I don't think I need to say anything."

"Since you don't say it. Then I'll just say a few words, do you know who I just remembered? ”

"Tell me about it."

"Zhou lazy."

"Zhou lazy Yu? Do you actually think of Zhou Lazy Yu at this time? Haha sometimes I have to say, you guy's thinking...... That's really divergent. Go on, what do you think of Zhou Lazy Yu. ”

"I was wondering why Zhou Lazy Yu didn't become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. And reporter Zhang Da, do you think that Li Shifo is actually very similar to Zhou Laiyu. ”

"Huh?" Reporter Zhang Da can't keep up with Li Xiaoqiang's whimsical thinking, but after all, he is now a Go "celebrity". After pondering for a while, I almost understood what Li Xiaoqiang meant.

Zhou Laiyu is an important figure in ancient Chinese chess. In ancient Chinese chess, "passing the week and ten games" has a very important significance, which can be said to be that Zhou lazy Yu ended the hegemony of more than 100 years.

Li Xiaoqiang said that Zhou Lazy Yu and Li Shifo are a bit similar, and it really makes sense if you think about it. In Zhou Laiyu's era, he was surrounded by a lot of fighters, and only Zhou Laiyu's chess style was unique at that time.

Everyone commented on Zhou Lazy Yu's style: "Investigate it (referring to Zhou Lazy Yu) so the winner, hold the first and not lose." ”

In other words, in ancient Chinese chess, Zhou Laiyu is a rare "control flow", he is not good at fighting, but mainly judges and controls. This is the similarity between Zhou Laiyu and Li Shifo.

Zhou lazy Yu defeated Bai Ling, which can be said to have ended an era. But why hasn't he been able to usher in a new era? Or why didn't he become the new leader of the martial arts alliance?

The reason was that he was defeated by another chess player. And the chess player who beat him is not very famous, his name is Li Yuanzhao. In the "List of Names of the Yi Family of the National Dynasty", Li Yuanzhao is ranked as a "famous player". In ancient Chinese chess, the ranking of chess players is based on "national players", "famous players", "second-hand players", "three hands", and so on.

To put it simply, if the "national player" is "super first-class", then the "famous player" is equivalent to the general "backbone chess player". It is said that this "backbone chess player" Li Yuanzhao thought that Zhou Lazy Yu's strength was not good after watching the "Ten Rounds of Zhou", and thought that he should not be his opponent, so he challenged Zhou Lazy Yu.

You must know that Chinese ancient chess will not be like Japanese ancient chess, where you can avoid war at any time after becoming a "celebrity". So Zhou Lazy Yu happily responded, so he lost the game with a score of 4-6, so Zhou Lazy Yu failed to become the new leader of the martial arts league.

For such an allusion, the current reporter Zhang Da is of course very clear:

"Hahaha, Xiaoqiang, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that Li Shifo's control flow is not as good as you? Well, you can also give yourself a little psychological hint before the game. ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled at reporter Zhang Da:

"I didn't say anything, I just ...... Just tell a story. ”

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang turned around and walked towards the arena.

"There are some people's names, just juxtaposing them makes your blood run wild. Some people's names, with a few strokes of the hand, have a pleasing trick and a famous game that shocks the world. Some people's names accompany each of their games, accompanied by alternately rising scores, and they can always interpret countless stories of victory and defeat that are either touching or embarrassing. ”

"Just give them that chance to meet, and they will make history, history like no other! No matter how many times you've seen the two of them face each other, you won't be surprised by how you imagine the tragic ups and downs, what kind of tricks you see, or even what kind of off-court noise you hear. These two names are called Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo......"

In the early winter of 1996, the 11th meeting between Lee Xiaoqiang and Lee Seok-fo began quickly, with a much-anticipated match and a match worth 310 million won. (To be continued.) )
