Chapter 613 The Masterpiece of Chess
Li Xiaoqiang stood there stunned, and Yukari Umezawa also experienced a short period of distraction.
With the growth of age and the increasing fame, Li Xiaoqiang has become more and more of a big chess player. But in Yuka Umezawa's mind, what makes Li Xiaoqiang most exciting is actually his current appearance.
Li Xiaoqiang now looks like a goose.
But fortunately, Umezawa is also a trained TV presenter, and her loss of consciousness is only for a brief moment:
"What? Didn't Li Sang himself know about his own record? ”
Li Xiaoqiang also came back to his senses after hearing Yukari Umezawa's question, and at the same time secretly complained in his heart, saying that you are really not good at asking this question, and I am not one of those "backbone chess players", do people like me still go to count how many championships they have won with their fingers every day? However, in addition to complaining, Li Xiaoqiang also sighed a little: it turned out that he had won so many championships unconsciously, and it seemed that he was really not far from "Mr. Li".
"This and this ......" Li Xiaoqiang habitually scratched his head and made a sigh of embarrassment: "...... I really didn't think about it before this, and I want to thank you for the reminder......"
Umezawa's interview with Li Xiaoqiang began with the two of them counting the number of championships Li Xiaoqiang has won. Li Xiaoqiang's career so far is not long, and the two have pushed forward from now on, and they recall quickly:
"This year, you have won 5 championships: "Tianyuan Battle", "Top 10 Battle", "CCTV Cup", "Yingshi Cup" and "Asian Cup", which has accounted for a quarter of all your championships......"
"Last year......
"The year before last......"
After such memories, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly found that he had won the "celebrity" for the first time since he was 13 years old, and it seemed that there was a championship every year after that. Of course, it seems that only this year can really be called the "year of the explosion". It's only been July and I've already won five titles. After that, I have two more World Series opportunities. In addition to international competitions, there are also "national players" and "chess kings" in the domestic arena. "Celebrity" and other domestic titles still have a chance to fight for their own. If he can continue his good form, then he should have a good chance of winning a few more titles this year.
"Huh? Winning the title of "celebrity" at the age of 13 was my first championship, isn't my total number of championships only 19, how do you count me as 20? ”
"Don't forget, you've won a championship before."
"What champion? Why can't I remember? ”
"Chess Kid's Cup......"
So you included this, huh? Hearing that Yukari Umezawa reported the "Chess Boy's Cup", Li Xiaoqiang secretly complained in his heart again. For this kind of "restricted" competition champion, Li Xiaoqiang naturally won't take it to heart. He said in his heart that if you count all the champions, then do you want to count the champions of the "money sharing competition" that I participated in?
In recent years, Go has become more and more popular in China, and there are more and more small invitational tournaments with various names. Especially Chen Chaoyue, Nie Whirlwind. Ma Xiaofei and Li Xiaoqiang. These 4 people are simply the "standard" for this kind of small invitational tournament, and Li Xiaoqiang has to participate in it once or twice a year. Of course, this kind of competition is still slightly different from the official competition, this kind of competition does not count the rating points, so this kind of competition is called "non-rating competition" in China. Probably for this reason, Umeze didn't count the winners of these competitions.
After helping Li Xiaoqiang count the championships, Yukari Umezawa returned to the first question:
"Li Sang is only in his early 20s this year, you are so young and now you have won so many championships, how do you feel now?"
Am I a few years younger than you? You don't have to talk about it every day. Li Xiaoqiang complained for the third time in his heart. But spit is spit out. Li Xiaoqiang really didn't know how to answer Mei Ze's question.
In the Go world, especially in the Japanese Go world, the "20 individual champions" actually have a special meaning. This is like a watershed, dividing the "ordinary chess player" and the "big chess player".
In today's Japanese chess world. Who are the members of the "20 Crowns Club"? The older generation is Sakata Eio and Fujisawa Hideyuki, and the younger ones are the "six supers", and there is no one else. Gao Chuange once created nine consecutive hegemony in the "Ben Yin Fang War", but his total number of championships is less than 20. Yoshio Ishida was once the first player to play Go in Japan. In real history, his championship tally has exceeded 20, but now. He still needs a few more rapid champions to make up the numbers.
"I don't have any special feelings, I just feel that I still need to continue to work hard, and I hope that I won't be opened up too far by others."
"Oh? ...... are you referring to?"
Li Xiaoqiang's answer was obviously a bit of a surprise to Yukari Umezawa. But after all, she is still a person who knows Li Xiaoqiang better, and she soon understood what Li Xiaoqiang meant.
In the Japanese chess world, it is not without players who have more championships than Li Xiaoqiang, for example, the current title king of Japan is Mr. Sakata Eio, who achieved 64 championships at the age of 64, and his achievement will be surpassed by Zhao Zhixun in a few years. However, in his early 20s, he was able to achieve 20 individual titles, an achievement that no one in Japan can match.
However, it is a pity that Li Xiaoqiang's achievement is considered awesome in Japan, but looking at the entire world chess world, his achievement will be steadily suppressed by someone.
The person Li Xiaoqiang didn't say was, of course, South Korea's Li Shifo.
Of course, due to the different national conditions of each country, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that it does not make much sense to simply compare the number of champions. There are so many title battles in South Korea that not only China can't match, but even Japan can't match. Especially in the past few years, Li Shifo was able to harvest about 10 championships in China every year, which is unimaginable in China or Japan.
Japan claims to be the most regulated country for professional Go, and they currently have just over 60 titles. But what about in South Korea? In real history, both Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo have more than 100 champions.
"Compared to the number of champions, it seems that I will have a hard time beating you. It's not good to compare the quantity, so let's compare the quality of the champions......" Li Xiaoqiang thought of this at this moment.
After talking about the topic of "20 crowns", Yukari Umezawa saw that Li Xiaoqiang was always on the road, and she only finally asked a question related to today's game:
"I heard that in today's game, you would have had a chance to slay the dragon......"
Just now Yukari Umezawa felt that Li Xiaoqiang was not on the road, and after hearing this question. Now Li Xiaoqiang feels that Yukari Umezawa is even more unlucky. Mei Ze said that "the opportunity to slay the dragon" Li Xiaoqiang actually knew, it was an opportunity given by Mr. Wang Licheng under his obvious advantage, but at that time Li Xiaoqiang did not run to slay the dragon, but won steadily with the official.
Li Xiaoqiang said that I have no enmity with Mr. Wang Licheng, and when the victory is decided, I will run to eat other people's dragons when I am sick. What's more, the opponent's move at that time was not even a "winner or loser", it belonged to the kind of "deliberately selling a flaw", not to mention that today was a rapid chess match, even if he had a lot of time at that time. At that time, running to slay dragons was not the best option.
Although Li Xiaoqiang thought so in his heart, what he said in his mouth was a different set, and at this time Li Xiaoqiang even made a surprised expression:
"Oh? Is it? I really didn't notice it at the time. ”
"The "Chessboard Wizard" would ignore the question of life and death? Looks like you've been doing a lot of dead and alive questions lately, right? ”
Seeing that Yukari Umezawa suddenly changed her homely tone, Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to cooperate. He smiled at the TV camera and said:
"Yes, I really don't do life and death questions lately, and I've changed to official questions now."
"Oh, even the chessboard wizard doesn't do life and death questions, do you think that officials are more important than life and death?"
Yukari Umezawa's surprise is half-true, what did Li Xiaoqiang do when he first debuted? He came up with a copy of the "Celestial Dragon Map". It can be said that he debuted with this "Tianlong Map". At that time, many people wanted to spy on Li Xiaoqiang's secret from this step of "Tianlong Diagram". Over time, of course, no one thinks that Li Xiaoqiang will not pay attention to the question of life and death.
"Then you're really right, my point of view has always been that officials are more important than life and death. The problem of officials must be encountered in every game of chess, and it is a question of life and death. In particular, some uncommon or difficult life-and-death problems may not be encountered in actual combat. Therefore, I would like to say to the majority of chess fans and friends, do you want to improve your chess skills quickly? Then please do more official questions. If you have time to specialize in some difficult life-and-death problems, it is better to spend this time on officials. I can guarantee that your chess skills will improve faster. ”
It must be admitted. Li Xiaoqiang is not talking nonsense. This is also Li Xiaoqiang's personal experience when he was an amateur chess fan in his previous life. What is the difference between 7D and 9D on the network? 100 percent dare not say it, but more than 90 percent is actually inferior to officials.
"Oh, what a pity, we were today. I am going to let Li Sang improvise a dead and alive question as a souvenir, I wonder if you can fulfill our wish now? ”
“……”
In Japan, the Go Question is also known as "Chess". What Mei Ze said just now really wasn't making things difficult for Li Xiaoqiang. Because in the Japanese chess world, it is indeed a custom for professional chess players to create chess.
How to describe it? This is like those literati and writers in ancient China, if you don't chant poems to make a difference, you will be embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.
Yukari Umezawa asked Li Xiaoqiang to improvise a question of life and death, which is almost the same meaning.
"Now where to find a question of life and death to fool the past......" Li Xiaoqiang fell into deep thought.
"Li Sang, Li Sang......"
Li Xiaoqiang was pulled back to reality by Yukari Umezawa.
Li Xiaoqiang, who returned to reality, is now in a very happy mood, and he even smiled very gently at Yukari Umezawa, laughing so much that Yukari Umezawa was frightened.
"Alas, it's good that I still remember this masterpiece. Since it's pretending to be forced, then I'm going to pretend to be a big ...... this time" (to be continued.) )
PS: Today is the last day of May, so I would like to ask you for a guaranteed monthly pass in June.
At this time last month, for reasons that everyone knows, I didn't have the confidence to ask for votes at that time. But it's this month...... Although in my pen, Xiaoqiang will definitely lose, but the plot has developed to this stage, it should be relatively cool for a while.
Another thing to say is that in the following June and July, the author decided to take a vacation, so that he might be able to code a few more words, which is another reason why I asked for votes.
Before I finish my vacation, let me fight for the monthly pass list again! Thank you for your support.
Yell again: ask for a monthly pass in advance!
