It's a bit difficult for Chinese women to play Go right now.

In the 80s, the Chinese women's Go "Three Masters", Rui Weiwei and Nie Xuanfeng's ex-wife Kong Baduan went away, and Cao Dafang's wife Yang Baduan was basically in a state of seclusion.

At present, the leading figures of Chinese women's Go are Zhang Xuan and Feng Yun, the second female Jiuduan in the world chess world. But they don't have much of the heart to play chess right now.

Zhang Xuan is mixing oil with Chang Ren Shengmi, and she has long said that she is ready to choose love in terms of love and career. And Feng Yun Jiuduan is now also preparing to go to the United States to teach her husband and children.

It's funny to say, the reason why the Chinese women's Go days are sad is precisely because the Chinese women's Go is so strong that no one plays with them. If a project is not confrontational enough, the attention will naturally decrease. And Go is not like other sports, such as gymnastics, such as diving, and some of these events may be better for women than men. For example, like Li Xiaoqiang, he prefers to watch women's competitions when he watches these events.

However, Go is different, purely from the perspective of competition or viewing, women's Go and men's Go have natural shortcomings. In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang was such a senior chess fan, if it weren't for international competitions, he would basically not pay so much attention to women's Go competitions.

The absence of an opponent leads to a lack of attention, and the lack of attention leads to a lack of enthusiasm from sponsors. As a result, the dilemma of Chinese women's Go has arisen, and many professional female chess players have not played chess all year round. In the early years, there was also a "women's celebrity battle", but this competition has been discontinued after several sessions.

There are very few specialized female chess battles, and the competitiveness of competing with male chess players on the same stage is insufficient, and the living environment can be said to be quite poor, so it is no wonder that many top female chess players in China have come to mind.

"In the past, the path of women's Go was still a little off, and we put too much emphasis on competitiveness. I think the most suitable direction for the development of female chess players should be like these two today, Xiaoqiang, what do you think? ”

Li Xiaoqiang didn't squeak, because today's topic involves Yukari Umezawa. Li Xiaoqiang didn't know at all whether Team Leader Hua really wanted to discuss with him what "women's Go development direction" or had other intentions, so Li Xiaoqiang decided to wait and see.

In fact, Li Xiaoqiang obviously overreacted, and the team leader really just felt it. However, seeing Li Xiaoqiang's strange face, Team Leader Hua really reacted. Thinking of the relationship between Li Xiaoqiang and Yukari Umezawa, Team Leader Hua is now angry and funny. Unlike some sports teams in China, the management does not interfere in the private lives of the players. What's more, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and Li Xiaoqiang's matter is nothing at all.

However, at this time, Team Leader Hua still said in the tone of an elder:

"Xiaoqiang, do you remember what Lao Cao said to you a few days ago? He said that if you want to defeat you now, one is that you fail in self-management, and the second is that there is a new talent that is stronger than you. Whether there can be a stronger new talent, we don't care about him first. But the first point...... Everyone believes in you, but you must grasp it yourself. ”

Li Xiaoqiang was speechless when he heard this, the last time he was in Japan, Li Xiaoqiang had made a big decision to have a showdown with Yukari Umezawa, and between Lin Mengyu and Yukari Umezawa, Li Xiaoqiang decided to be sorry Yukari Umezawa.

But Li Xiaoqiang's determination was soon defeated by Yukari Umezawa's sentence of "double life".

What now? Of course Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what to do, people even said that kind of thing, how could Li Xiaoqiang refuse according to the atmosphere at the time? And human nature is like this, if you don't harden your heart and refuse the first time, then it will be more difficult to harden your heart the second time. Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang can only continue to be helplessly entangled now.

Seeing Li Xiaoqiang's tangled expression, Team Leader Hua decided to change the topic, since they had already talked about women's Go, the two talked about the situation of women's Go in the world today.

"This game of chess Xu Ying seems to be not good, the front is good, and there are too many mistakes in the back, this is the reason why there is less chess, the hand is completely raw. But this Mei Ze's chess is really good......" Team Leader Hua glanced at Li Xiaoqiang: "...... It's not a loss, you taught it. ”

What is a bit surprising to Li Xiaoqiang is that the current Japanese women's Go is not as weak as imagined. There are two female chess players who are quite powerful, one of them is Kobayashi Koji's beloved daughter Kobayashi Izumi, and the other is Yukari Umezawa. At present, the Japanese women's chess world is dominated by the two of them, and almost all the women's titles have been divided between the two of them.

As for their level, although they have not yet reached the height of "Brother Xia", they are almost the same as Xu Ying and others, and they are only slightly inferior to Zhang Xuan, Feng Yun and others. Due to Rui Xiaowei's failure to participate in the "Samsung Cup" preliminaries, the two women's qualifying places are actually these two Japanese female chess players competing with Chinese chess players. Compared with China and Japan, the Korean women's Go at this time seemed relatively weak.

Several little girls in South Korea boasted a lot before the game, one was called "Female Stone Buddha" and the other was called "Female Changhyuk". But now it seems that they are obviously still young, Xiaoqiang, what do you think of their chess? ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled, and Team Leader Hua was talking about South Korea's Zhao Huilian and Park Zhien, two female chess players, who are the main opponents of Chinese female chess players for a long time in the future. However, now they are only in their 10s, and their chess skills are not yet mature, so of course they are not very competitive now.

Li Xiaoqiang knows that the real rise of Korean women's Go will not start until Rui Xiaowei becomes a "guest chess player" in South Korea. Because of her joining, the overall level of Korean female chess players has improved a lot, and it has formed a trend to compete with Chinese chess players.

However, Li Xiaoqiang usually doesn't pay much attention to women's Go, and is not familiar with the characteristics of the chess style of "Female Stone Buddha" or "Female Changhe", and he doesn't know where these two nicknames come from. Therefore, now seeing that Team Leader Hua asked for his opinion, Li Xiaoqiang had to say vaguely:

"Anyway, let's look at the future, what do you say, it's always good to be young anyway."

Li Xiaoqiang didn't think that his casual remark "It's always good to be young" once again aroused the emotion of Team Leader Hua, and he changed from a female chess player to a male chess player.

"Yes, yes, it's really not better than I don't know, I'm scared, why do you say those children are so powerful now? Especially those children in South Korea, all of them are like wolves and tigers, and their growth rate is obviously faster than usual, Xiaoqiang, do you think this is their training method more scientific? Because a lot of people say that they grow up in a way that's very similar to when you were younger. ”

"Don't worry, Team Leader Hua, the "Initial Storm" is not as terrible as you imagined. ”

Of course, the growth model of young Korean chess players is very similar to Li Xiaoqiang, who is a reborn person, and he has chosen this cultivation method in his life.

Why does this approach seem to grow faster? Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is mainly in line with the general law of affairs. What is the core idea of this approach? It is to emphasize the basic skills, emphasize the "three major and one from", a large amount of exercise, a large number of games, and start from actual combat.

If Go is divided into two parts, "abstract" and "concrete", this method means that we don't care about what is "abstract" first, and then grasp the "concrete" first. Li Xiaoqiang believes that this method has its scientific side, and for young people, those real things, those "concrete" things, of course, are easier to understand and master.

As far as comparing himself with Chang Rensheng, Li Xiaoqiang never thought that his talent would be more than Chang Rensheng. Then why is he growing faster than him? Therefore, since I was a child, I have paid attention to basic skills and those tangible things.

On the other hand, Chang Rensheng, he used the traditional method passed over from the Japanese Go side, and on the basis of the basic skills not being practiced, he paid attention to some "virtual" things.

Do those abstract things in Go work? Of course it works, and these things are very useful. However, Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that if you want to make these "virtual" things play, you need the corresponding foundation as a match.

For example, the current Chang Ren Sheng.

Although Li Xiaoqiang believes that this method has its scientific side, Li Xiaoqiang still told Team Leader Hua that the "initial storm" is not so terrible.

This is not what Li Xiaoqiang used to perfunctory team leader, this is Li Xiaoqiang's true thoughts now. It is the new perception that he has generated after his level has grown to this level.

First of all, let's look at the facts, in real history, since the "Open" format became the mainstream of the World Championships, the so-called "early stage storm" has been staged almost every year, and the impact of young chess players will always make everyone talk. But then again, the impact of the "early storm" is actually quite limited, and at least it has never fundamentally changed the pattern of the world chess scene.

The most violent of the "early stage storm" should be a young Korean chess player named Han Sang-yun, who was still a "college student" when he participated in the qualifiers, and became a junior stage when he participated in the "main tournament", and he made it all the way to the final in that World Series. In the end, he was cut off the horse by Li Shishi.

It's a pity that Han Chuduan's career was the highest at that time. Han Chuduan, who created the strongest "Chuduan Storm", everyone saw his later results, and a few years later, he couldn't even mix up with South Korea's "backbone chess player".

More importantly, this is not an exception, it is a common phenomenon in the world chess scene in later generations.

Li Xiaoqiang even believes that the "one champion" in the Chinese chess world in later generations is actually like this. Compared to Han Chuduan, they just have one more championship, which is essentially no different.

Why is this happening? Li Xiaoqiang believes that this involves the shortcomings of this method.

First, this method relies too much on energy and physical strength. Second, this method is easy to develop the wrong way of playing chess or the wrong way of thinking.

There is nothing to say about the problem of energy and physical strength, because it is also a natural law, and no one can do anything about it. Li Xiaoqiang thinks that the real scary thing is the second situation.

Since I was a child, I relied on energy and physical strength to win chess, and relied on something specific to win chess. Winning chess is the last word, so many chess players never want to make any changes, and just like that, they go to the dark.

The result? As a result, everyone can see that many young chess players have considerable technical shortcomings, and once their energy and physical strength are gone, their results begin to decline, and their losses are inevitable.

Why is "premature aging" popular among chess players in later generations? Mediocrity in your 20s? There are also those who believe that this is the true law of Go, and that being in their teens or twenties is the real pinnacle of a chess player.

Li Xiaoqiang has never agreed with this statement.

Li Xiaoqiang never thought that he could become a real Go master in his 20s. This is Li Xiaoqiang's innermost thoughts!

"The purpose of my rebirth is that I want to prove that I am right......"

Li Xiaoqiang, who has become the "six champions" of the world chess world, thought of it at this moment. (To be continued.) )
