After the first two matches of the ring match, Li Xiaoqiang, who won the victory, stayed in the capital. Li Xiaoqiang's two-game victory once again caused a topic in the Sino-Japanese chess world. It can be said that before the start of the "Fujitsu Cup", the entire world chess world was talking about the word "Li Xiaoqiang".

This time, the focus is no longer on winning or losing. Indeed, Li Xiaoqiang's victories have been enough, so many that everyone is a little numb. This time, everyone is talking more about the content of the chess game. In a variety of related reports, there is a keyword that has been mentioned repeatedly, and this keyword is:

"Victory"!

Yes, Li Xiaoqiang defeated Japan's "rookie king", and Li Xiaoqiang beat Japan's standard strong nine......

It must be admitted that the word "complete victory" is of course a very good compliment to the winner. For losers, it's no different from "humiliation". If it was a "complete defeat" to the opponent because of abnormal play, it would be reasonable.

"In this game of chess, the level of so-and-so was completely unplayed, and his technical movements were completely deformed, resulting in a complete defeat to the opponent. To be sure, this is not the true level of so-and-so, and we expect him to perform well in the following games......"

This kind of sentence should be very common in many Go reports. But these two games of chess ......

No one thinks that the two Japanese players played badly, including the Japanese themselves. In particular, in the second game, everyone was amazed by Mr. Awaji's abundant attacking methods. However, they were still "defeated" under Li Xiaoqiang! What does this mean?

I played very well, but I still "failed" to others, which generally only shows that my skills are not as good as others, and it can only show that the level of others is high. However, is Li Xiaoqiang's level really so high?

This obviously subverts everyone's common sense and is beyond everyone's understanding. In order to explain this phenomenon, many reasons have been found.

After Mr. Sakata returned to Japan. Naturally, everyone will ask the senior for his opinion. On such an issue, Mr. Sakata is not like Fujisawa Hideyuki. He doesn't like to be a god. He just repeatedly emphasized that this trip to China was "worthwhile", and in these two games of chess, he saw the wonderful moves that made his eyes "shine". He was only interested in the specific techniques on the chessboard, and he was completely indifferent to other issues.

Mr. Sakata only talked about the technical problem, but everyone seems to have found a reason. Yes, Li Xiaoqiang was able to win completely because of his "wonderful hand".

To know the way, there are actually many kinds of victory. For example, "super first-class" beats "strong nine". The "strong nine" completely defeated the "middle nine", and when the former "completely defeated" the latter, it was entirely possible that it would be so plain and "completely victorious". People can rely on their own skills to suppress, and they don't need to be clever to win at all.

In the case of the former's normal performance, it is also possible for the latter to "outright" the former. Of course, this is a prerequisite that is required. There are two prerequisites for this: first, the latter needs to also perform at a high level, and second, it may not be enough to perform at a high level. Maybe the latter needs a good hand......

Through this analysis, everyone thinks that they have found their reasons. Obviously, Li Xiaoqiang belongs to the latter situation. Only this analysis seems to be in line with everyone's common sense.

Nevertheless. Everyone still praised Li Xiaoqiang's performance. Whether it is in the Chinese Go world or in the Japanese Go world. It is unanimously recognized that it is still "phenomenal" to be able to reach such a high level at his age. A rare genius is rising in the world chess world.

"Hahaha, Xiaoqiang, do you know the way? The Japanese have given you a new nickname. Don't say it. The nickname chosen by the Japanese this time really fits your image...... Well, in your own words, this nickname is good enough...... That's right, I should be not mistaken, it's the word "pull the wind" ......"

On the third day after the competition, Zhang Zhidong found Li Xiaoqiang with great interest and held a stack of newspapers and materials in his hand. Obviously, this is a report and evaluation related to Li Xiaoqiang. After Li Xiaoqiang's game, especially after Li Xiaoqiang won the game, Zhang Zhidong likes to collect various reports. Of course, he was used to coming to Li Xiaoqiang at this time.

In the opinion of reporter Zhang Da, he actually prefers to listen to Li Xiaoqiang's "anti-evaluation". You must know that although Li Xiaoqiang is silent, he will occasionally come up with a sentence or two. The occasional sentence or two can often make Zhang Zhidong's eyes shine.

Reporter Zhang Da even felt that after mixing with Li Xiaoqiang for so long, his "business level" had actually improved greatly......

Li Xiaoqiang simply flipped through those reports and saw an article written by Japan's chief reporter Yamada.

"Wizard on the board"!

Seeing such a nickname, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but laugh dumbly. In our Eastern world, such a nickname is obviously not a good word. Considering that this is a Japanese term, from the point of view of the "enemy", such a nickname is obviously justified.

In the category of competitive sports in the world, there are also several called "wizards", for example, there is a famous "wizard" in the billiards world. "The Wizard on the Chessboard"? Although this name is a bit non-mainstream, it still sounds very powerful. Li Xiaoqiang can accept it. In any case, this is at least better than "zombie streaming".

"Xiaoqiang, what do you think of the general opinion of the outside world? Hehe, how do I feel, the Japanese are still a little unconvinced to lose......"

"Hehe, it's not that they're not unconvinced, they're not aware of the way to reflect, and all along, they feel too good about themselves. As we all know, as long as you feel too good about yourself, you generally don't reflect on it......"

Li Xiaoqiang knew what Zhang Zhidong meant. The Japanese Go community has given a seemingly reasonable explanation for its victory. Their meaning is obvious:

Yes, I admit that you Li Xiaoqiang are "completely victorious" in these two games of chess, your Li Xiaoqiang's level is indeed very high, you are the "wizard on the chessboard", and you are often able to play wonderful moves and unexpectedly good chess. But......

They didn't say anything about this "but", although they didn't go on, everyone still knew the meaning of the back. The best hand in Go is basically something that cannot be found. It's a good deal. You Li Xiaoqiang, can you expect to be able to play a good game in every game of chess?

This should be the "but" in the end. Such a "but", Li Xiaoqiang knows the way, and Zhang Zhidong also knows the way. Zhang Zhidong saw the unconvincing of Japanese Go, and Li Xiaoqiang, he saw that Japanese Go did not reflect.

At this time, there was still no one who thought that there was something wrong with the concept of Japanese Go, not a single one!

To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang still hopes that the Japanese chess community will reflect. Even if it is just to make the chess world more lively in the future, Li Xiaoqiang also hopes that the Japanese Go world will reflect in advance.

Obviously, Li Xiaoqiang just hopes that he can't say anything about such a question. Nor can anything be done. There is even more powerlessness to change anything. Trying to change people's long-formed ideas is definitely not something that happens overnight.

Li Xiaoqiang just hopes that because of his appearance, he can help Chinese Go and make Chinese Go take a detour. If this can be done, Li Xiaoqiang will be satisfied. Li Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that even if he wanted to do this, he didn't have such a ability.

In the world of Go, you want to be influential. Your words are listened to, and you have to have the strength to match. This is true not only in the world of Go, but also in all fields. If you want to have the right to speak, you must have the strength to match.

"So-and-so began to speak. The whole world will listen to ......"

Why do people want to listen to you? Isn't it because you have the strength?

Li Xiaoqiang has always been a very sober person. To be honest, he entered the professional Go world, and he himself did not have much self-confidence. That's the main problem. is not confident in his "Go talent". Talent is such a thing as a can't be explained. There is no way to measure it. But everyone knows that when the level of Go reaches a certain height, if you want to break through further. Talent is crucial.

Li Xiaoqiang calmly analyzed his own situation. That's right, it's certain that your level has improved. I can "beat" Ita and Awaji now, and it seems that my Go talent is okay too. However, is my current level of Go really that high? Li Xiaoqiang believes that his level is still not so high.

Li Xiaoqiang often thinks that if he participates in the "armor" of later generations according to his own level, what will it be? Li Xiaoqiang objectively believes that he may be qualified to participate in the armor. However, after a year, it is difficult for his winning rate to reach 50 percent......

This should be your current true level!

I can "defeat" Japan's strong nine, but in fact, there is still an element of "cheating" in it. It's just that because of the increase in their own level, the level of "cheating" has actually increased. In the past, "cheating" was more blunt, but now? Some "cheating" is more natural. For example, in the game against Mr. Awaji, his own layout is actually "cheating", and it is a very advanced and natural "cheating". But he still can't take advantage of them. What does this mean? shows that his skills are indeed inferior to others.

Of course, through these two games, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that he still has gains. One of the biggest gains is to strengthen the spirit of "exhausting change".

To be honest, all the "spirits" are similar to "slogans", and they are all easier said than done. Indeed, when it comes to "exhaustive change", for example, whoever hears it will surely applaud it, thinking that this "spirit" is needed when exploring on the chessboard. However, do you want to "exhaust the change"? In other words, why do you think that you are "trying to change"?

Li Xiaoqiang doesn't see it that way, he thinks that it is precisely this point, he may do better than others, and he can use this advantage to offset the advantage of others' "talent".

Professional Go has developed to a certain extent, and "utilitarian Go" is a topic that can never be avoided. In order to win, everyone likes to pick the ones they are familiar with, and they like to pick the ones they are sure of. This should be a feature of professional Go. There is indeed no reproach in doing so. Professional chess players are also human beings, and playing chess is their own job. In order to make a living, first of all, it is necessary to ensure victory. In the midst of "exhaustive change" and "victory", it is estimated that the vast majority of people will choose victory.

It can be said that the characteristics of professional Go are actually contrary to the spirit of "exhaustive change".

Li Xiaoqiang believes that he still has the conditions to "exhaust his changes". "Exhaustive change" requires two conditions, the first condition is opportunity! If you keep losing, you will have fewer chances of playing. There is no chance of competition, how do you "exhaust it"? Li Xiaoqiang is lucky that he lives in this era. Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that among the generations of Chinese Go players, the generation of "Seven Little Dragons" is the luckiest. Compared with their predecessors, their conditions are much better, and compared with their predecessors, to be honest, the pressure of their competition is definitely not as great as that of later generations.

It can be said that they are a generation that has grown up with careful care. It is precisely because of the "careful care" that there is always something missing in their chess.

It can be predicted that due to Li Xiaoqiang's outstanding performance, he will definitely be able to be "carefully cared for", and in the case of an imperfect selection system, Li Xiaoqiang can still get a lot of competition opportunities.

The second condition of "poverty change" is actually the problem of money. To be honest, as a reborn, Li Xiaoqiang didn't think that there would be pressure in his life at all. I won't even think about such a question, Li Xiaoqiang can't afford to lose that person. I don't want to be a super-rich person. If only to make life better for yourself and your family. Li Xiaoqiang believes that there is no difficulty at all.

In China's development in the following decades, it can be said that there are countless opportunities. As long as you can avoid risks, as long as you can "half a step ahead", it is easy to accumulate a certain amount of wealth. Of course, I am still young at the moment, so I will wait for a year or two, and when I am older, I will discuss specific issues with my family. As long as you don't have any worries, you can explore deeply along the path of Go. This is the source of Li Xiaoqiang's confidence:

I have been exploring with the spirit of "exhaustive change", can it all offset my lack of talent? ”

Li Xiaoqiang thought silently.

After Li Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhidong chatted for a while, Zhang Zhidong said goodbye:

"Ha Luha, I'm not going to talk to you now. I'm going to get ready now, and I'm going to Japan to cover the first Fujitsu Cup......"

Fujitsu Cup, the world's first professional Go tournament!

Unconsciously, the world of Go has entered a new era. The internationalization of Go has really arrived.

Li Xiaoqiang's eyes looked into the distance. (To be continued......)
