At the end of the first two rounds of the 5th "Fujitsu Cup", the Chinese delegation returned to China by plane. 【頂【点【小】【Say,

Six players participated in the tournament, and four made it to the top 8. Overall, the Chinese players performed well, so most of them were in a good mood and the atmosphere of the whole delegation was relatively relaxed. Even Nie Whirlwind and Zhang Wendong, who lost the chess, talked and laughed with everyone at this time. When waiting for the plane at the airport, I didn't know who started it, and everyone talked about the top 8 draw the night before. At the beginning, everyone's topic was mainly focused on Ma Xiaofei.

"Ma Xiao, whether our Go team can make a breakthrough in this competition, I think it depends mainly on you. Everyone said that it would be so coincidental, and you were so against Zhao Zhixun again. In recent years, he owes you a lot of blood debts, right, don't you want to find a way to get revenge this time? ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ma Xiaofei could only shake his head and smile bitterly, bowing his head and saying nothing.

That's right, Ma Xiaofei's opponent in the top 8 happens to be Zhao Zhixun again. In the past year or two, Ma Xiaofei has been a little silent again. Due to Li Xiaoqiang's strong rise, his identity as "the second person in the domestic chess world" seems to be a little unkept.

Whether it is the media or ordinary chess fans, when everyone talks about Chinese Go, is Nie Whirlwind a little stronger, or Li Xiaoqiang is stronger? This is still very controversial. Both sides have a large number of fans and are arguing about the issue. But what about Ma Xiaofei? When everyone was arguing about the question of "who is the strongest in Chinese Go", poor Ma Xiaofei seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, and his name was rarely mentioned by everyone.

Of course, this is just a layman's opinion, in fact, in the eyes of real professionals, Ma Xiaofei's chess skills in the past two years have also been steadily improving, and he has approached the strength of a "super-first-class" chess player. The reason why everyone has a higher evaluation of Li Xiaoqiang is that Li Xiaoqiang took advantage of his age. The second and most important reason:

Li Xiaoqiang's "foreign war" results are far better than Ma Xiaofei!

Therefore, although Ma Xiaofei is the title king in China, he is in popularity. He is definitely not as good as Li Xiaoqiang, who is an "expert in foreign wars". In this regard, the voting results of the domestic "top 10 battle" fully illustrate this point.

The voting results of the latest domestic "Top Ten Battles" have been counted. According to relevant sources, with 2 world championships, Li Xiaoqiang's votes and total score have surpassed Nie Whirlwind, becoming the "No. 1 Chinese Go person" in the eyes of chess fans for the first time, and Ma Xiaofei has fallen to 3rd., so Ma Xiaofei wants to be recognized by chess fans, he also needs to prove himself in the international arena.

In the last year or two, Ma Xiaofei has also defeated Japan's top chess players many times. But as in real history, there are still two hurdles in front of Ma Xiaofei. These two hurdles, one is Kobayashi Koji, and the other is Zhao Zhixun, facing the youngest of Japan's six super-first-class and the two strongest at present, Ma Xiaofei is still in a difficult situation to win.

Kobayashi Koji will not talk about him first, starting from last year's "Fujitsu Cup", to the "Toyo Securities Cup" at the end of last year, and the "Ying's Cup" round of 16 that has just ended. Ma Xiaofei was eliminated by Zhao Zhixun. Coincidentally, it was unfortunate. In yesterday's lottery ceremony, Ma Xiaofei and Zhao Zhixun drew together. That's why everyone will first take Ma Xiaofei to talk about things.

In Li Xiaoqiang's view, don't look at Ma Xiaofei's nickname as "Horse Demon", others say that his chess is "light and elegant". This is not necessarily the case. Ma Xiaofei cultivated. That is the real "Xuanmen Authentic", and it is a hand of "kung fu chess". Just like described in martial arts novels, such a kind of kung fu is extremely difficult to cultivate. And progress is slow. If you don't have the skill, then it will be difficult to win the so-called "hands-on". And once the skill is achieved, then winning chess is a matter of course.

"A chess player like Ma Xiaofei. You can't let him win the first set, and if he does, it's hard to beat him later......"

Who said that? This is what Kobayashi Koji said in real history at a certain "Sino-Japanese Celebrity Competition". In the world of Go, the one who knows you best must be your best opponent. Kobayashi Koji can make such an evaluation of Ma Xiaofei because he knows the essence of Ma Xiaofei best.

If you look closely at Ma Xiaofei's career, you will find that the real situation is really like this. Ma Xiaofei's biggest tragedy is that he met Li Shifo at the peak of his career. This also directly influenced his achievements.

"Draw Lao Zhao again, this is also a matter of no choice. Anyway, let's do it well this time, and I hope I can perform a little better by then. Now it seems that the hope of our Go team will ultimately fall on Xiaoqiang. Objectively speaking, the other games are all wind chess, so Xiaoqiang's situation is a little better. Xiaoqiang will play well then, our Go team will rely on you......"

Ma Xiaofei was playing haha while leading the topic to Li Xiaoqiang.

In yesterday's draw ceremony, Ma Xiaofei's opponent was Zhao Zhixun, and Liu Dazhui encountered Cao Yanzi. And Che Zewu took Wang Licheng away. Then Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in the next round is naturally Mr. Dazhu Hero.

was still at the scene of yesterday's lottery ceremony, when Li Xiaoqiang drew Mr. Dazhu Hero. This made the media reporters present excited one by one. How so? If just now, because of the magical performance of Takeshi Cha Ze in the first two rounds, he became the focus of the competition, then when Li Xiaoqiang and Otake Hero became opponents in the next round, there is no doubt that the two of them immediately became the center of the entire venue.

Although so many years have passed since the "grievances" between Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Otake Hero, many people still remember it. Not long after Li Xiaoqiang was reborn, he came to Japan for the first time to participate in the competition, and he played two games of chess with Otake Hero. Time passes, things are not people. When everyone recalls the scene of the year, and then looks at the hands of the two people holding together now, this has to arouse everyone's emotion. Especially when Otake Hero delivered his "pre-game speech", the atmosphere of the whole venue reached **

"Li Sang is strong, very strong! He grew faster than anyone expected. I know in my heart that when Li Sang becomes my opponent in the next round, everyone will definitely be worried about me, and now I'm afraid no one thinks that I, an old man, will be his opponent, right? Indeed, don't talk about you, I think so myself. Therefore, when it is time to play, I will hold the mentality of starting and ask Li Sang for a good game......"

"Li Sang's strength is naturally obvious to all, so to speak, his chess is a compulsory course for all professional chess players at the moment, and I don't hide it from everyone, as long as it is Li Sang's chess, I am basically a must-see in every game now. While admiring Li Sang's superb chess skills, I repeatedly pondered a question: Is Li Sang's chess really invulnerable? Well, I'm not afraid that others will make fun of me for being arrogant and ignorant, and I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself again, and I'm telling the truth here, until now I still think that Li Sang's chess is not completely without loopholes, and his chess still has weaknesses. But if you want to beat him, you have to maximize his weaknesses, and I think that's the only way to beat him......"

When he said this, Dazhu Hero's expression even became very serious, he stared directly at Li Xiaoqiang's eyes, and said a few more words, and after he finished these words, the whole venue resounded with the warmest applause that night.

Li Xiaoqiang actually didn't understand Japanese, so he later asked reporter Zhang Da and asked what Dazhu said:

"Come on, Li Sang, I'll be there!"

When reporter Zhang Da's eyebrows flew and he relayed the words of Dazhu Hero to Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang could only smile bitterly.

"Waiting? The great reversal of Shengxian Gorge? Or the great counterattack of Shengxian Gorge, you also want to counterattack me once, right? Such a classic sentence in the world of Go has also been said by you. Do you really think of me as Sakata and yourself as Mr. Utaro Hashimoto? Also, what the hell are you doing? Or is that really what you think in your heart? Do you really see the weaknesses in my chess......"

Since Mr. Dazhu Hero said something like "wait for the neck", Li Xiaoqiang and his game naturally attracted many people's expectations.

"Xiaoqiang, have you noticed? In fact, since last year's "Fujitsu Cup", you have won all the six super leagues in Japan, and now Otake is left alone. You know, in the six supers, Otake is the oldest one, so you won't have many opportunities to play chess with him in the future, this time you have to play seriously, no matter what! If you can win him, then it's all over......"

While waiting for the plane, reporter Zhang Da suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent, and he said the above words excitedly. Everyone thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case, in the last "Fujitsu Cup", Li Xiaoqiang broke Masaki Takemiya, Lin Haifeng, Kobayashi Koji, and Zhao Zhixun 4 Japanese super-first-class and finally won the championship. When it came to the "Toyo Securities Cup", Li Xiaoqiang defeated Masao Kato. Now, I've met the hero of Otake again......

seems to be destined in the dark, is Li Xiaoqiang really going to sweep Japan's six super-first-class? When everyone thinks about this question, they can't help but get excited.

Thinking of this question, Li Xiaoqiang himself was also very emotional. As a reborn, I grew up as a chess fan playing six super chess games in my last life. In the depths of Li Xiaoqiang's heart, because of the existence of that good memory and that respect, he has never regarded Liuchao as his opponent. Every time I fight with Liuchao, it is more like fulfilling a wish, a beautiful memory buried deep in my heart.

"Well, now that the last Japanese Super League player has a chance to play first. Mr. Otake, are you waiting? I hope you don't disappoint me......" (To be continued......
