readx;?“ You mean to say that I will write this chess review myself? ”

"Of course. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info. Reporter Zhang Da smiled: "Now our magazine, almost every month has your game, every time it is your victory, now you explain your own defeat, I believe readers must love to watch." ”

Li Xiaoqiang couldn't cry or laugh, but from the perspective of the magazine, there is still some truth in reporter Zhang Da's words. After Li Xiaoqiang pondered for a while:

"Okay, I'll write this chess review myself."

Li Xiaoqiang's winning streak in the international arena was ended by Zhang Xu, and this game not only attracted a lot of media coverage, but also all professional Go magazines in the world explained this game in detail.

China is Li Xiaoqiang's self-war commentary, and South Korea is Li Shifo who writes chess commentary. Japan, on the other hand, adopted a "group review" model, in which they invited representative players of all ages, such as the older generation of Otake Hero and Lin Haifeng, the Mesozoic Wang Licheng and Kobayashi Satoru, and the younger generation of Takao Shinji and Yamashita Keigo, to conduct a detailed technical analysis of the game in a dialogue format.

Of course, although the commentary is on the same game, the focus of each game is different.

"A game of chess that shows Li Xiaoqiang's characteristics or weaknesses!"

This is the title chosen by the South Korean magazine "Go" for Lee Seok-fo's chess review.

As for Li Xiaoqiang's self-battle commentary, he mainly introduced his thoughts during the game. However, at the end of the chess review, Li Xiaoqiang also gave himself a relatively high evaluation of his opponent Zhang Xu this time:

“。。。 There are many kinds of wins, one is to win the game by relying on one's own excellent performance, and another is to rely on the opponent's non-play to win. In this set, while a lot of my moves were debatable, overall, I think I played at my normal level in this set. My failure in this game of chess is not because I didn't play, but because my opponent played too well, so here, I want to congratulate Zhang Xu again... ”

The most interesting thing is the Japanese magazine "Chess", when a sprinkling "group review" article is completed.

"Editor-in-Chief Yamada, this is this month's sample of China's "Go" magazine, which contains Li Xiaoqiang's commentary on the self-war. ”

After reading Li Xiaoqiang's commentary on the self-war, the Yamada reporter, who has been promoted to editor-in-chief, waved his hand decisively:

"Forward, contact China's Zhang Jun, we want to forward Li Xiaoqiang's chess review...

Therefore, there was a strange scene in this issue of the "Chess Road" magazine, a thick magazine with only two chess reviews, and the evaluation of the same game.

"Am I also acting as an internationalist warrior?"

After knowing that the Japanese had reprinted their own article, Li Xiaoqiang joked with reporter Zhang Da.

"Hahahaha..." Reporter Zhang Da was amused by Li Xiaoqiang's words, and then reporter Zhang Da opened his mind:

"There are some competitions that are indeed of extraordinary significance, such as Lao Nie's victory in the Sino-Japanese Go Ring Tournament, and Lao Cao's victory in the first "Ying's Cup". ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "It won't take long to review the significance of this game of chess, and in the next month, we will be able to see what Zhang Xu is." ”

After the "Fujitsu Cup" was out, Li Xiaoqiang's schedule for the next period of time was relatively easy. In July and August, the focus of the world chess world turned to the competition of several young people from China, Japan and South Korea. And the key figure in this is South Korea's Lee Seoul.

He and Gu Dali's semi-finals in the "World Chess Holy War" and the subsequent "Fujitsu Cup" final with Zhang Xu are the highlights of the current world chess scene.

These three people can be said to be the most outstanding representatives of the young generation of China, Japan and South Korea. What will be the outcome of their contest? This is of great interest. Li Xiaoqiang is naturally like everyone else, paying attention to these games with great interest.

At the end of July, the top 4 of the 3rd "World Chess Holy War" was played in the Chinese Chess Academy, and Li Xiaoqiang, who had nothing to do, came to the viewing room early to watch the competition of several young people.

At this stage of the game, China is left with only Gu Dali, as another pair of "lifelong rivals" in the Go world, his match with Li Shishi is undoubtedly the focus of this round of the game, although the other side of Cui Poison vs Zhang Xu The game is also quite weighty, but it is still not as good as the "Gu Li duel". All Chinese players, including Li Xiaoqiang, focused on this game.

However, although they are known as "lifelong rivals", Gu Li and Li have not fought much before this, and it is the first time for the two to meet in such an important game.

Before this, Li Shishi was obviously one step ahead, and now Gu Dali, has he caught up?

"It's still almost hot."

This is Li Xiaoqiang's emotion after watching the trilogy of Gu and Li this time. This was the first time the two played chess, and the result ended in a 2-1 victory for Li Shishi.

This time the duel between the two was also quite dramatic, Gu Dali obviously looked a little nervous in the first game, he couldn't let go of the game at all, and he was also timid in the chess, and he couldn't see his usual demeanor at all. was so angry that Lao Nie scolded in the research room, saying that Gu Dali was simply a shame on him.

After Gu Dali lost the first game, the second game was unexpectedly Li Shishi's crisp defeat. Just when everyone thought that the two were still evenly matched after all, only Li Xiaoqiang saw the crisis.

Because in real history, there are selective abandonment of certain games in the chess match, which is not once or twice for Xiao Li. And in the entire world chess world, it seems that only Xiao Li will do this and dare to do this.

Sure enough, when it came to the decisive game, the two fought from the beginning of the prelude, but unfortunately the final result was that Gu Dali's dignified power was knocked down by Xiao Li's weird power.

"I only have the "World Chess Holy War" in my eyes now, and I'm not afraid to tell you that in the recent period, even in my dreams, I often dream of sitting in front of Li Xiaoqiang... ”

After defeating Gu Dali, Li Shishi expressed his determination to seize the right to challenge in such a way. On the other side, South Korean chess player Choi Poison tells everyone that he is the real "internationalist warrior". Recently, Zhang Xu, who has been in a good tune, finished Cui Poison 2-0, and competed for the right to challenge behind Li Shishi.

For a while, Xiao Li and Zhang Xu became the two most powerful chess players at the moment, and even Li Xiaoqiang's light was temporarily obscured by them.

"Hehe, it's a little interesting, is it Xiao Li or Zhang Xu? It's hard to say right now... ”

Li Xiaoqiang can't be blamed for being confused, because this is a situation that has not appeared in his previous life. If it was before, Li Xiaoqiang would definitely choose Xiao Li without hesitation, but because Zhang Xu had just won a game of his own, Li Xiaoqiang would not be able to say, everything is possible now.

This state of confusion became even more pronounced in August.

In the "Fujitsu Cup" final held in early August, Zhang Xu once again performed bravely, he gave full play to his "small" kung fu, and finally narrowly defeated Li Shishi and won this year's "Fujitsu Cup" championship.

This was the first time in 8 years that a Japanese player won the Fujitsu Cup after 8 years after Mr. Koiji Kobayashi in '97. This is also the first time in nearly four years that a Japanese chess player has won the world championship after nearly four years after Mr. Cho Ji-hoon.

After Zhang Xu won the championship, the Japanese Go community was as excited as if he had played chicken blood. Everyone seems to see the hope of the revival of Japanese Go.

Of course, there are more surprises for Japanese Go this year, there are even bigger surprises waiting for them.

In September 2005, the annual "National Go Individual Competition" was held as scheduled. Li Xiaoqiang has not participated in this chicken-ribbed competition for many years, so he usually pays little attention to this competition. However, this year, Li Xiaoqiang has paid considerable attention to this competition.

This is not only because many of Li Xiaoqiang's disciples appeared in this arena.

What's more, after a total of 12 rounds, when 9 rounds have passed, a Chinese match, but the current top of the ranking is a Japanese.

His name is Yuta Iyama. (To be continued.) )
