Li Xiaoqiang looked at Xiao Zhengtai in front of him with a smile whose name was Iyama Yuta.

"This is also an outlier, if you talk about talent alone, even if you compare it in the entire history, this kid may be ranked in the top few, right? The old god stick compared him to me, and that really didn't exalt him. On the other hand, if I only talked about Go talent, I would probably be the one who was promoted. ”

The moment he saw Xiao Zhengtai, Li Xiaoqiang felt such a sigh in his heart.

Since his debut, Li Xiaoqiang has heard too many people praise his so-called "Go talent". But his own family knows his own affairs, and Li Xiaoqiang certainly knows what his "talent" is. If it is to praise something else, Li Xiaoqiang may be able to accept it calmly, but when it comes to "talent", Li Xiaoqiang may blush behind closed doors.

In Li Xiaoqiang's own opinion, he may be regarded as a piece of chess material for playing chess if he can achieve his current achievements, but it is more because of his own efforts and more because he has seized more opportunities than others. As for this "talent"...... Li Xiaoqiang really doesn't have much bottom in his heart. At least so far, he can't see where he is better than others.

But what about this little Shota called Yuta Iyama in front of him? If you want to say how good he is, then many people will probably object. For example, in real history, in the era when little leopards and little wolf cubs were rampant. Can Yuta Iyama be ranked in the top 10 in the world? It's all debatable. The only thing that can be recognized by everyone is his talent.

Regarding Jingshan, some chess fans on the Internet in later generations put forward a very interesting hypothesis, or a joke. It is assumed that since the 80s, the world chess world has developed along another historical trajectory, in which Chinese Go has not risen. It is still the level of Japanese Go to make a lot of it. And Korean Go does not exist. So according to the absolute dominance achieved by Yuta Iyama in the Japanese chess world, will he be touted as the first person in the history of Go in the world? Become an existence like "punching Wu Qingyuan and kicking Dao Zhangxiu"?

Admittedly, that's a real possibility.

It's a pity that assumptions are always just assumptions, and chess fans make this kind of joke, which can be seen more as a satire on the fall of Japanese Go in later generations. The irony is that they just like to entertain themselves behind closed doors. But some things are like that, and many problems can be looked at the other way around. For example, Li Xiaoqiang believes that it is precisely the behavior of Japanese Go that entertains himself behind closed doors, but it makes Iyama Yuta's Go talent extremely dazzling.

When it comes to words like "talent", many people like to talk about it. But it's really an ethereal thing. There is no criterion, and no one should be able to say it clearly. For example, Li Xiaoqiang believes that ethereal things like "talent" can often only be "seen in hindsight", but not "in advance".

In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, the criteria for judging the level of "talent" are very simple. Throw a group of people in a roughly similar environment, whoever can stand out, Li Xiaoqiang admits who has high talent.

For example, in the world chess arena in real history, Li Shifo has been alone in the world for more than 10 years, Li Xiaoqiang admitted that he is highly talented, and after Li Shifo, Gu Dali and Li Shishi are obviously higher than others. Li Xiaoqiang also admits that they are highly talented. But after the two of them, although the little leopard generation and the little wolf generation are one stubble after another. But no new leaders have emerged.

There is an argument that the reason why there is no new leader in the world chess scene as a whole is that there is no new leader. It is because the overall level of Go has improved and the competition in the world chess has intensified, so it is difficult for a character like Li Shifo to appear. To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang has always scoffed at this view.

Many facts are superficial, if the entire chess world is in a period of "competition for hegemony", it is often not the time when the level is high. More likely when absolute levels are low.

Before Huang Longshi was born, the Chinese chess world was also full of stars, but later everyone found out that the absolute level at that time was really not high. After Fan, Shi. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were even "eighteen national players" in the Chinese chess world, but as we all know, it was the lowest point of ancient Chinese chess.

These are far away, even if Li Xiaoqiang is in this era, the just-ended Japanese "Six Super Era". When the "Six Super Era" first arrived, many people thought that this was a peak in the development of Go. One of the most bizarre things is that some Japanese people are worried about the "exhaustion of corner changes" in Go. It wasn't until Li Shifo was born that many people discovered that the original glorious "Six Super Era" was probably really a time when the level of Go was relatively low.

All three periods have a common characteristic, that is, the so-called "competition for supremacy". So what is the period that most resembles the three eras? It was undoubtedly the latest in the world of chess.

Therefore, don't say anything about the overall level of progress, don't say anything about "the strongest in history". Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that the so-called "theory of evolution" is fundamentally untenable when applied to Go. This is probably just a matter of assumption. Take the latest world chess as an example, you can't even clean up the people around you, so why do you say "the strongest in history"?

Li Xiaoqiang's "single-piece robbery" occurred in 13 years. In other words, when he was reborn, he didn't think that any junior chess player was particularly talented. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang's standards here are a bit high, he is not referring to ordinary talents, but to the kind of talents that can definitely stand out.

In the Chinese and Korean chess circles at that time, Li Xiaoqiang did not see any young chess player who could do this. Only the little Shota in front of him, he did it in the Japanese chess world.

That's right, although according to the absolute level of this little Zhengtai, he may not be as good as the top young chess players in China and South Korea. Although he has only been the king and hegemon in the relatively closed circle of the Japanese chess world. But on the other hand, if those young Chinese and Korean chess players were in the same environment as him, could they do better than him? Or will it be possible to stand out like him and establish absolute dominance?

I'm afraid no one dares to pack a ticket for such a question. This is actually the reason why Li Xiaoqiang thinks highly of this little Zhengtai.

Although the "talent" is ethereal, the "talent" seems to be real. If you give Iyama Yuta a change of environment, if he is allowed to grow up under similar conditions with other young Chinese and Korean chess players. So this little Shota ...... Will he be able to continue to stand out?

Looking at the 5 well-behaved players in front of him, Li Xiaoqiang put away his cranky thoughts and began to play chess with Iyama Yuta.

Before playing chess, Li Xiaoqiang actually didn't raise a few questions. However, listening to Dazhu Hero mentioning Zhao Zhixun again and again, Li Xiaoqiang almost knew that he should be able to ask himself to let 5.

When 6-year-old Cho Ji-hoon first came to the Mookya Dojo from South Korea, Mr. Minoru Motani at that time asked Lin Haifeng and Cho Jixun to play a commemorative game of chess for five sons. Li Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that he was here to "cheer" today, so today's game of chess almost has the same meaning.

Since this kind of thinking exists, Li Xiaoqiang did not play a black hand when he played the game, and everything was carried out according to his "own hand". Li Xiaoqiang vaguely remembered that Lin Haifeng's game of guidance against Zhao Zhixun seemed to be won by Zhao Zhixun. Since it is a kind of learning, Li Xiaoqiang decided to learn from it to the end, and even the final result decided to learn from Mr. Lin's approach. In this way, the final result of this game of chess was that Li Xiaoqiang lost, which made Dazhu Hero and others elated.

After visiting the "Xinmugu Dojo", Li Xiaoqiang, Chang Rensheng and others walked on the way back. Yukari Umezawa, who had been accompanying her, also seemed to be honored, and she asked happily:

"How about it, my little junior brother, it should be very promising in the future, right? He's so good now......"

"Well, if it's 8 or 9, it's probably a bit difficult for me to win. If there were only 5 or 6 of them like today, it would be difficult for me to put water like today. ”

Yukari Umezawa was furious: "You...... What do you mean. ”

Li Xiaoqiang laughed: "Don't you believe it? Then you can ask Mr. Zhao Zhixun, by the way, Mr. Zhao may be embarrassed to say, then you can also ask your master. Ask him what level your Uncle Zhao was when he first entered the dojo. ”

In fact, when Zhao Zhixun first entered the Mugu Dojo, his level was really not high. Although he won Lin Haifeng with 5 pieces in the commemorative chess. However, inside the dojo, he was often ravaged by Masao Kato, Yoshio Ishida, and other senior brothers who were still studying in the dojo, and at most he was allowed to lose to 8 sons. This is really not Li Xiaoqiang's nonsense, this is what Zhao Zhixun personally said in one of his autobiography.

Although the current Iyama Yuta is said to be 6 years old, he is actually only more than 5 years old. Although Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know how he compares with Zhao Zhixun back then. However, Li Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that if he was serious, Xiao Zhengtai would probably not be able to stop his 6 people.

When Li Xiaoqiang was playing chess just now, he actually wanted to observe the so-called "talent" of Yuta Iyama. But unfortunately, Li Xiaoqiang actually didn't see anything special at all. It is said that at Xiao Zhengtai's age, nothing has yet been finalized, and the level of Go is more likely to be the same every day. So Li Xiaoqiang thinks that it should be understandable that he can't see anything.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but think of Fujisawa Hideyuki, an old god stick. Li Xiaoqiang is strange, the old gentleman has been a god stick for so many years, why do you rarely see him miss? Does he really have any special method?

"Well, vision, he must have some unique vision......"

"What vision?"

"Ahem......" Li Xiaoqiang was thinking about how to be a god stick, but he was interrupted by Yukari Umezawa.

"I was just thinking, Yukari's vision of people is really problematic. For example, in the game just now, you didn't even see that I was conceding. Well, there's a problem, and I think you really need to improve on that. ”

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, Yukari Umezawa first made an angry look, and fluttered her little fists at Li Xiaoqiang with her teeth and claws. But strangely, Yuka Umezawa's demeanor suddenly became timid. She muttered to herself in a voice that Li Xiaoqiang could barely hear:

"That's how I see people...... No...... Don't you care......"

Li Xiaoqiang looked at Yukari Umezawa, and he sighed softly. (To be continued......)
