Chapter 634: The Coronation Battle

It was already more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the game ushered in the final moment.

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang dropped a decisive move, and he waited for Li Shifo's reaction.

Li Shifo's reaction was really not big, he just showed a wry smile imperceptibly, he seemed to have foreseen his failure, and this move was just a formal verdict for him.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoqiang knew it in his heart: this step of the hidden official Tesuji, this fatal blow that determines the outcome of the outcome, not only did he see it earlier, but his opponent Li Shifo's heart should have been clear for a long time.

But when the move reached the viewing room......

The first to react was naturally Cao Yanzi, Liu Changhyuk and other top Korean masters, their expressions were stunned, they looked at each other, this time they really looked at each other! They couldn't say anything else.

And reporter Zhang Da is now like crazy, and after seeing Li Xiaoqiang's chess move, he began to speak incoherently:

"I knew it for a long time, I knew it for a long time...... Jack bauer...... Hahaha...... Xiaoqiang......"

The overexcited reporter Zhang Da even began to complain about Coach Luo:

"Xiaoqiang's method I can't see it's normal, there are pieces in the empty space of black chess, you professional chess players can't see it, you shouldn't be, I was worried for a long time just now."

"It's normal that I can't see it......" Coach Luo was also full of smiles, and he didn't care at all about Zhang Da's words: "...... Didn't you see Lao Cao, didn't they see it? So do we see that it has anything to do with it, the important thing is ......"

"The important thing is that as long as Xiaoqiang can see it, it is enough."

Reporter Zhang Da and Coach Luo said this almost in unison, and then the two looked at each other, and then the two laughed at the same time.

There are still chess pieces in the empty space of black chess, and so many professional masters in the research room have not even seen it, which really seems to be a bit abnormal. However, in the world of Go, this is still the case. Especially when the Japanese and Korean rules are adopted, since the Japanese and Korean rules do not require an acquirer, what will happen? This will result in a lot of "outside gas" outside some of the pieces at the end of the game.

Some particularly hidden official tesuji, it is indeed not so easy to see in the presence of "external qi". In addition to today's game, there is another game in real history that is very similar to today.

It should be in a certain "Qiu Ju Cup", by the Chinese little tiger chess player "Brother Calm" Sheikh against Li Shifo. "Brother Calm" is to defeat Li Shifo with a delicate official Tesuji half-eye. Because Li Shifo's official skills at that time were too impressive. Anyone who defeats Li Shifo in the official realm can cause a great sensation.

Li Xiaoqiang remembered that he deliberately found the chess game at that time and studied it carefully. How so? Anyway, according to Li Xiaoqiang's level of Qiangye 5 at that time, he studied for a long time and finally understood the wonderful taste of that step of the official's tesuji.

I don't know why, at the moment of today's finale, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered the game of chess between Li Shifo and Xie He. This can't help but make Li Xiaoqiang sigh.

It's different! It's really different!

Back then, I needed to face the reference drawings made by others to understand the meaning of that wonderful move. But now, he has been able to make similar tricks in actual combat. This is the result of years of hard work, and today's victory in this game of chess is the reward of years of hard work.

Today's victory in this game of chess is well deserved!

At the moment of the finale, Li Xiaoqiang once again observed his opponent Li Shifo. At this time, Li Shifo lowered his head, he sat motionless in his seat, just staring at the chessboard in front of him.

Seeing Li Shifo's appearance, Li Xiaoqiang sighed again:

It's different, this time it's really different!

I have fought with Li Shifo many times, and every time I fight, I can collide with different sparks. But there is no game like today's game. The significance of today's game is so great!

As soon as the game ended, reporters flocked into the game room to interview Li Xiaoqiang.

“…… Today's game I won mainly by luck. Li Shifo put a lot of pressure on me in the game, and I don't think there is a level gap between me and him, and even if there is, it is very small. I think Li Shifo is very good at chess, and he is still my strongest opponent......"

Facing reporters, Li Xiaoqiang smiled, and he skillfully said all kinds of polite words.

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang is just saying polite words. Not only Li Xiaoqiang himself thinks so, but the reporters who interviewed him also think so.

On the surface, it should be said that Li Xiaoqiang's words are not wrong, and he is expounding basic facts. Today's game is the 20th meeting between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo. In the first 20 games, the two sides will be tied 10-10, and Li Xiaoqiang did not take any advantage in the hands of Li Shifo.

In addition, from a technical point of view, it can be considered that Li Shifo's official kung fu is still dominant. Although he lost in today's official battle, in a strict sense, Li Shifo actually did not lose in the official battle today. Li Xiaoqiang's half of today's win is actually the advantage he has accumulated from the prelude to the middle game, as for the official competition in the back, Li Xiaoqiang just maintained this advantage.

Therefore, from this point of view, the gap between Li Shifo and Li Xiaoqiang is indeed very small. If there is another person in this world who can pose a threat to Li Xiaoqiang, then this person must belong to Li Shifo.

But through today's game, everyone saw another fact: that is, Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo have really opened up the gap. This is not a gap in the ordinary sense, this is the gap in the status of the two, and the gap between the "six crowns" and the "triple crowns"!

Yes, the significance of today's game of chess is by no means as simple as a "big reversal". Today's victory in this game of chess can be regarded as Li Xiaoqiang's "coronation battle" -- Li Xiaoqiang's coronation is not just a "Toyo Securities Cup" champion. It can be considered that after this battle, Li Xiaoqiang was crowned as "the first person in the world to play Go".

That's right, that's what today's game is really about. Although the aggregate score of the two is now 10-10 draw. But for Li Shifo, his "curse" of "can't win Li Xiaoqiang in the final" has not been broken. It was an unspeakable pain for him. For anyone, it's an unspeakable pain. It was for this reason that directly opened the gap between him and Li Xiaoqiang.

Especially in this five-way chess final, Li Xiaoqiang won 3 games, and he defeated Li Shifo in the prelude, middle game, and official field respectively, which made people even more speechless.

To be honest, this was not intentional by Li Xiaoqiang, and it was impossible for him to deliberately arrange it this way. There are technical and tactical considerations, but it is more natural to come to this, and it can be said that this is a complete coincidence.

But is this just a coincidence? I can't think so. Li Xiaoqiang knows that many people don't think so, and Li Xiaoqiang himself doesn't think so.

Li Xiaoqiang thinks that this is not so much a coincidence, but rather a providence! It must be fate that arranged for himself and Li Shifo to become like this!

The reporter's interview continued, and everyone surrounded Li Xiaoqiang, the winner, but the loser Li Shifo next to him was rarely interested. Others will forget Li Shifo, but Li Xiaoqiang will not. Regardless, Li Shifo is a respectable opponent.

After dealing with reporters, Li Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand to Li Shifo with a smile:

"I'm waiting for your next challenge."

Yes, at this time, Li Xiaoqiang did not say "waiting for your next fight", he said "waiting for your next challenge". This sentence sounds domineering, and Li Xiaoqiang puts his position above Li Shifo. But at this time, no one felt anything out of the ordinary, everyone thought it was all very natural. Among them was Li Shifo, who also felt that this was normal.

Li Shifo also slowly stretched out his hand, his gaze firm:

"I will, I will......"

Li Xiaoqiang left the game room, and he walked to the viewing room next to him. When Li Xiaoqiang walked through the crowd, everyone saluted Li Xiaoqiang and Li Xiao, who was newly crowned "the first person in the world chess world".

Cao Yanzi, Liu Changhyuk, Xu Bongzhu and others looked at Li Xiaoqiang, and their expressions were complicated.

Li Shishi, Cui Poison, Park Yongxun and others saw Li Xiaoqiang, and they all showed admiration.

The first to catch up was Coach Luo, who is usually calm, and now Coach Luo, who is usually calm, is also excited, and he holds Li Xiaoqiang's hand:

"Xiaoqiang, thank you, thank you......"

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang knew what Coach Luo meant when he said "thank you". Coach Luo is now very old, and he will be retiring soon. If nothing else, this will be the last time he will lead Li Xiaoqiang to compete abroad.

Looking at Coach Luo, who was already full of gray hair, Li Xiaoqiang said sincerely:

"No, Coach Luo, it is me who should say thank you, it is us ......"

The next person to greet him was naturally reporter Zhang Da, who first gave Li Xiaoqiang a bear hug very exaggeratedly, and then pretended to interview Li Xiaoqiang in his unique tone:

"Hahahaha, congratulations on becoming the first person in the world chess world! May I ask Mr. Li Xiaoqiang, how are you feeling now? ”

Li Xiaoqiang is naturally very cooperative: "Of course, the feeling now is great. ”

"After becoming the number one person in the world, will there be a feeling of being in a high place? Do you have any other goals now? If so, what are you going to do next? ”

Target? The next goal?

In the crowd, Li Xiaoqiang's gaze swept over Cao Yanzi and Liu Changhe, and his gaze swept over Li Shishi and Cui Poison, especially when his gaze swept over Li Shifo:

"Goals, of course I have."

"Then let's hear it."

"I just won one game today, so the next step, I want to win everyone's respect."

"Respect?"

"That's right, respect!" Li Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Respect for all who love me or don't, respect for all friends or rivals. That's what I'm going to do next. Reporter Zhang Da, what do you think of my goal? Isn't it very tall? ”

"Hahahaha......"

Reporter Zhang Da smiled, Li Xiaoqiang also smiled, he smiled so happily, his smile was so bright, just like the sunshine in early summer in May.

The last "Toyo Securities Cup", the last legend. (To be continued.) )
