Li Xiaoqiang walked out of the game room.

This time. It took a moment of tiredness to hit his body. I've been in Japan for 12 days and have played 8 games. It was the first time I participated in an official professional tournament, and the first time I faced a foreign chess player face-to-face. These days, my nerves have been in a state of high euphoria. Now, it's finally over. The tense nerves relaxed, and at this time, Li Xiaoqiang felt that he was really tired and really wanted to sleep well. At the same time, I felt a burst of emptiness in my heart.

"Where's my next game?"

Li Xiaoqiang walked through the crowd with a calm expression.

No excitement, no excitement, just a faint joy. For a person who loves Go, the joy of winning is always heartwarming.

There is no arrogance, no arrogance, only a faint calmness. Do your best in the game. For Chinese Go, I am a little responsible, and I have a good heart for Japanese Go. Have a clear conscience for yourself.

The only regret is that I can't drink.

"When was the first time you drank alcohol in your last life?"

Li Xiaoqiang tried to recall.

The competition was over, but the schedule for the second day was very tight. Qian Yuping and Zhao Zhixun finally lost the second game, I don't know if Lu Dao's "character theory" played a little role, and Qian Yuping didn't seem as painful as before after losing. In this way, all the games are over.

After the game, Li Xiaoqiang, who has infinite scenery in this competition, naturally became the focus. Japan's "Qidao" magazine even conducted an exclusive interview with Li Xiaoqiang.

Many years later, the chief spectator retired with honor. In the face of this reporter, who has written countless records of watching the game and interviewed almost all famous chess players. Someone asked him, which interview did you remember the most in your life? The chief observer reporter did not hesitate to point out that in 1986, when he interviewed 11-year-old Li Xiaoqiang, he was most impressed.

"What impressed me with that interview? Hehe, for no other reason, the main thing is that in that interview, I was so clumsy. As an adult, I couldn't keep up with his train of thought when facing Li Sang, who was only 11 years old at the time. Just like his chess, no matter how hard I try, he will always be ahead of me. That feeling...... It's weird! It's impressive...... "......

Yamada Mitsuko: "First of all, congratulations on your good results in the competition. Can we just talk? ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "Xie Lu Xie, you're welcome." ”

Yamada face: "Let's talk about my feelings about this competition. ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "First of all, I would like to thank the Japanese side for arranging a very good opponent for me this time. I learned a lot in the competition and saw my own gaps. Thank you."

Yamada Shoes: "Everyone is very interested in your upbringing, did you really only learn ancient Chinese chess?" ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "You know, I was still young when I learned chess. My master didn't say that he taught me Chinese ancient chess, but it is true that my master spoke highly of Chinese ancient chess. ”

Yamada Shomiko: "Do you really not know much about your master's situation?" ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "Except for his Go thoughts, I don't know more than you." ”

Yamada Tsumiko: "Can you tell us what you think of Japanese Go?" ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "Japanese Go has created a relatively standardized professional Go system, which has made great contributions to the world of Go. For example, your "news chess battle" is worth learning from. Xie Lu Xie. ”

Yamada face: "That's it, that's all?" Others such as Go skills, level or something......"

Li Xiaoqiang: "I've finished what I want to say. The skill and level of Japanese Go are entirely due to this professional Go system. As we all know, professional Go and amateur Go are different. One of the biggest differences is that professional Go cares more about winning and losing, so there are fewer mistakes and omissions in professional Go. After a game of chess, the average value of each move is higher, so it also seems that the overall level is high. ”

Yamada Mitsuko: "It's a surprising idea, you seem to be talking about Kobayashi Koji's "barrel theory"? ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "From the perspective of victory and defeat alone, it is like this. However, in terms of the height of Go, IMHO, Japanese Go has not improved much compared to ancient Go. For example, now your six supers are not necessarily higher than Xiuce's predecessors, nor are they necessarily higher than Huanglongshi's predecessors. In this way, it seems that there are people in the Six Super who think so. ”

Yamada face: "This, this...... There are still many advantages to Japanese Go. A lot of research has been done on the variation of corners in Japanese Go. There is still an accumulation of skills, and some people are worried that the changes in the corners will be exhausted......"

Li Xiaoqiang: "The person who said this doesn't understand Go, do you believe it?" ”

Yamada face: "Hehe, I don't believe it either." Let's change the subject, what do you think Go looks like? Or what do you think is the highest level of Go? ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "I'm not qualified to say this. ”

Yamada face: "It's okay, let's talk about it casually." For example, our six supers, they all have distinctive characteristics and styles. Which style do you think is closer to the true essence of Go? ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "If you have style and expertise, doesn't it mean that other aspects are shortcomings?" The more distinctive he is, the more he has shortcomings in other areas. ”

Yamada walked on face: "Ha Luha, it seems to make a lot of sense, so is it possible for him to strengthen and make up for other aspects, and the level can be improved a lot?"

Li Xiaoqiang: "I need to improve in all aspects now, and I'll talk about it when I reach their level." ”

Yamada took face: "Mr. Zhao said that if there is a Go God, the Go God can give him two sons." How much do you think the God of Go can give you now? ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "Hehe, I don't know what to do." But I don't think the Go god can play chess, because he's a madman, a schizophrenic person. ”

Yamada Shoes: "Ah! That's an interesting statement, how do you understand that? ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "As you just said, the six supers have their own specialties, and gathering their specialties together seems to be almost like the God of Go." But is it possible? If others don't say it, how can you reconcile the styles of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wu Gong? It seems that only people with split nerves can do it. If you can do it, you may be the madman of the Go God. ”

Yamada Shomiko: "Ha Lu Ha, what a unique opinion. So how do you need to practice Go? For example, you have reached such a high level at such a young age. I must have my own way of practicing Go. ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "I don't have any opinions myself, and my cultivation methods are all told to me by my master. If you are interested, I would be happy to share my master's words with you. Of course, my master's words may be difficult to listen to and difficult for people to accept. ”

Yamada Shoes: "Ah! Let's hear it. ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "My cultivation method is actually very simple, which is calculation. My master told me that the selection of the layout is felt in the calculation. The life and death of the mid-game is found in the calculation. The size of the officer is compared in the calculation. My master also said that the current Go has been detached from its essence, and the essence of Go is actually very simple, that is, life and death and officials! ”

Yamada Shomiko: "Huh? I'm sorry, but I still need a little time to digest your words, which is really subversive. ”

Li Xiaoqiang: "It's okay, let's stop here today, see you again." ”

Yamada face: "See you again." ”

Li Xiaoqiang walked away alone, and his last point of view was said by Master Wu Qingyuan 20 years later, so he was not worried about the "copyright" problem. However, this remark is really in line with the characteristics of Go in later generations, so Li Xiaoqiang did not hesitate to throw it out first in the name of his "master". Is there any shock to Japanese Go and Chinese Go that has been learning Japanese Go? Li Xiaoqiang can't control it.

"That's all I can do."

Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart. Thinking of meeting that Go master soon, Li Xiaoqiang was excited.

But before going to visit Mr. Wu, Li Xiaoqiang has one more thing to do.

Li Xiaoqiang looked everywhere in the crowd for Fujisawa Hideyuki, the partner of his own gambling game.
