Chapter 69: Preparing for War

Li Xiaoqiang sent Zhang Zhidong away. This time, Li Xiaoqiang did not make things difficult for Zhang Zhidong, on the contrary, Li Xiaoqiang was very polite to reporter Zhang Da. It was so polite that it made reporter Zhang Da's heart furious. This time he really wronged us Li Xiaoqiang, and Li Xiaoqiang thanked reporter Zhang Da for the news he sent. His news made it possible for him to receive kickbacks. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang wants to thank others, and in return, Li Xiaoqiang also promised Zhang Zhidong that he would give him the "Tianlong Map" after the game. Zhang Zhidong was overjoyed, and sure enough, sincerity always pays off. Zhang Zhidong felt that his strategy of "not talking about anything else, only talking about Go" was correct, and returned to Shencheng happily.

Li Xiaoqiang, the middle volume of "Tianlong Diagram", is actually not ready. According to the criteria set at the beginning, there are still more than 100 questions that are qualified to be selected for the middle paper. But now Li Xiaoqiang decided to get it out before the game. Yes, Li Xiaoqiang ignited his fighting spirit!

There are many reasons and reasons for Li Xiaoqiang to ignite his fighting spirit. You can name seventeen or eighteen casually, but the most important ones are the following.

The most basic point goes without saying. A person who has been reborn and returned will still have no fighting spirit when he competes with the Japanese? Li Xiaoqiang has no intention of winning glory for the country, and in the current Go world, winning glory for the country is the task of the ring competition, and he is not qualified yet. But...... You know.

The second reason is also very important, Li Xiaoqiang recalled it. In the more than a year since he was reborn, he has not played a game of evenly matched chess. It's incredible to think about. Go fans in this era are really painful, how can they be like the next generation. No matter what level you're at, finding a close opponent is a breeze. Li Xiaoqiang thought about it carefully, and for more than a year, he either guided others by himself or others guided himself. The closest level of Chang Ren Saint and them also has a gap or so with themselves. It cannot yet be called an adversary. And now, the opponent of the same level has finally arrived, and even better is the Japanese. Can there be no fighting spirit?

The third reason is actually a bit far-fetched, in this day and age, there may not be many people who care. However, Li Xiaoqiang happens to be one of the people he cares about the most. That is, Li Xiaoqiang is eager for everyone to pay attention to ancient Chinese chess.

Li Xiaoqiang will still go through the ancient Chinese genealogy. It's still a mess. Li Xiaoqiang can find out some obvious missing moves, and some sharp tendons can also be seen. But more of them are unexpected chess, and Li Xiaoqiang understands them in the ancient chess rules. Li Xiaoqiang honestly admitted that he couldn't understand it. However, Li Xiaoqiang understands one thing, that is, he helped himself find the ancestral master Huang, Shi, and Fan them. The level is definitely much higher than yourself. My vision should be said to be very good, but these people's understanding of Go is definitely not within their reach now.

Under all kinds of coincidences, the current self seems to have become the spokesperson of ancient Chinese chess. Before I officially stepped into the professional Go circle, this opportunity couldn't be better. It's not that he has the ability to help correct the name of ancient Chinese chess. It is one of the things that Li Xiaoqiang hopes to do at present.

Li Xiaoqiang has always been a person who has a plan to do things. Once you've set your goals, let's get moving. Thinking of this, Li Xiaoqiang shook his head. It's a pity that I'm just about to relax, and the female classmates haven't had time to tease properly...... Alas! Serious matters. Men, career-oriented.

Li Xiaoqiang thought while making reasons for himself, I have made such a big sacrifice, and the kickback at that time must be knocked hard.

So what do you need to be prepared for? Preparation for battle is nothing more than your own preparation, the understanding of your opponent and the adjustment of your mind.

There is still more than a month to go before the competition, and it is impossible to improve the level qualitatively. When I came back from training with the national team, my head was full of things, and now I need to groom up. Whether you can cover something up depends on your own creation. I haven't played chess for more than a month, and I did "Tianlong Diagram" to ensure the sense of chess, and the so-called fist is not in my hand. That's all for my preparations, I guess it's quite sufficient.

So what about the opponents? Li Xiaoqiang recalled carefully.

At present, it is a bit strange in the Japanese amateur chess world, there are 5 or 6 places that can be called "super first-class" in the amateur chess world, but it seems that they are a cut behind. Li Xiaoqiang remembered that it seemed that a few years later, China and Japan went to the top ten amateur competition. Zhang Zhidong participated, and the Japanese team won by only a narrow margin. However, in the first 4 games, China won only one game of 8 games.

The so-called amateur Four Heavenly Kings are not completely fixed either. However, Li Xiaoqiang knows that there are 3 yes, and the first place is Imamura Wenming, a three-time amateur champion in the world of Lu.

In second place should be Hironori Hirata, the double winner of this year's "Amateur Celebrity" and "Amateur Honinbo".

In third place is Yasuro Kikuchi, a Go educator who is highly respected. He also won the world amateur championship once.

It's hard to be sure of the 4th place, it stands to reason that it should be Nakazono Seiso, this is an absolute powerhouse, this person is in his 70s and can still win the all-Japan amateur Go championship, and get the qualification to participate in the amateur competition in the world, which shows how powerful it is. He is currently in his 40s, and he is in the prime of life.

However, there is another young man who rushes quickly, and that is the two-time world champion Satoshi Hiraoka. Considering his age, it is more likely that the Japanese side will arrange for him to be a "child" of his own.

The arrangement of the confrontation match is relatively flexible, after all, in the eyes of the Japanese side, this is an "exchange" competition. Li Xiaoqiang only knows that Lu Dao usually plays 8 games of chess, one of which is a three-way chess confrontation. I can't control the specific arrangement method.

The last one is a psychological adjustment. Li Xiaoqiang knew that it was a weakness that he had not played such a high-level competition. However, according to rational analysis, the Japanese side should be a little awkward psychologically against their own "child". In this way, it should be half a catty and eight taels at this point.

After the analysis, Li Xiaoqiang was full of confidence. He thinks his chances of winning are more than 50 percent, if there are no surprises.

The unexpected soon came. Lin Mengyu, who was sitting in the front, turned his head and gave Li Xiaoqiang a fierce look. Li Xiaoqiang was startled, and even he was embarrassed when he reacted. I've been staring at the back of someone's head for more than 10 minutes, right?

"That's amazing!"

Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart, why is the gap between people so big. Look at the "future beauty" of others, the neck can be motionless for more than 10 minutes. If you change to Zhao Dabao, you can't do it in 10 seconds.

"But this time I was really wronged."

Li Xiaoqiang defended himself.
