readx;?“ The future may be for young people, but for now, the whole world belongs to Li Xiaoqiang! ”

This is not a report after the "World Chess Holy War", but a report given by the mainstream media after the final of this year's "Samsung Cup". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the second stage of the just-concluded "Samsung Cup" finals, Li Xiaoqiang never gave Li Shishi any chance, and won 2 sets in a row neatly, winning this year's "Samsung Cup" with a total score of 3-1.

"Li Xiaoqiang taught the young Li Stone a good lesson...

After the match, even the Korean media reported on the match. It can be seen that these two games of chess did make Xiao Li lose without anything to say.

In these two sets, Li Xiaoqiang still used the "control flow" as the main one, which was the same as winning the second game. Not only that, to say that Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shishi's chess styles are similar, Li Shishi is weird, Li Xiaoqiang is flexible, and Li Shishi is profound, but Li Xiaoqiang is not old now.

In this way, it cannot be said that Li Xiaoqiang just restrained Li Shishi, but at least in these two games of chess, Li Xiaoqiang did not let Xiao Li's characteristics come into play.

If the specialty is completely suppressed, then losing is inevitable. It can be said that Xiao Li lost these two games very ugly.

"These two games of chess have taught me a lot...

After the game, the aggrieved Li Shishi left in a hurry after leaving such a sentence. can make the unruly Xiao Li say such things after the game, which is what Li Xiaoqiang is very satisfied with.

After the end of the "Samsung Cup", the 2003 year-end drama in the Go world has passed the halfway point. Li Xiaoqiang's performance made the whole world chess world look sideways. In the face of South Korea's "Er Li", Li Xiaoqiang has not only won the "Samsung Cup", but also won the match point of the "World Chess Holy War". Not only that, in the past period, Li Xiaoqiang happened to have played against South Korea's second Li a total of 10 times, and Li Xiaoqiang achieved a good record of 7 wins and 3 losses.

If you follow the rules of the past ten promotion matches, such a score can already relegate the opponent, and such a strong Li Xiaoqiang will naturally attract a lot of discussion.

By this time, there was no other chess player who could compare with Li Xiaoqiang. Not even Li Shifo. The only one who everyone compares with Li Xiaoqiang seems to be Mr. Wu Qingyuan.

"Although the 21st century has only begun for a few years, it may be possible to conclude now: if Wu Qingyuan is the greatest chess player of the 20th century, then in the 21st century, this title will belong to Li Xiaoqiang...

"If one of the most important characteristics of Wu Qingyuan's Go is innovation, in Mr. Wu Qingyuan's life, he has created countless new types of novices. And what about Li Xiaoqiang's Go? Li Xiaoqiang's key word in Go may be summary. In the history of Go, there has never been such a comprehensive player, Li Xiaoqiang is familiar with the various genres of the Go world, and can use all styles of play freely. Li Xiaoqiang's Go may be the culmination of all Go skills... ”

All kinds of praise and praise poured in, but Li Xiaoqiang was unmoved, the journey was not completely over, and now was not the time to relax. After returning to China from South Korea, Li Xiaoqiang immediately entered a new competition, that is, the final of the domestic "celebrity battle".

The influence of a domestic title battle cannot, of course, be comparable to that of the World Series. But this year's "celebrity battle" is different, because of some other reasons, the showdown between Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei has received a special kind of attention.

"13 consecutive tyrants! Ma Xiaofei's "celebrity" is simply a monument to Chinese Go, but this time, Li Xiaoqiang should not let his record of hegemony continue... ”

Speaking of the "celebrity war" in China, this is simply an eternal pain in Li Xiaoqiang's heart. When he became China's first "celebrity" at the age of 13, Li Xiaoqiang never thought that 15 years had passed, and he had never had a chance with a "celebrity", watching Ma Xiaofei achieve a brilliant 13 consecutive hegemony. If you keep watching from the wall, it doesn't matter, but Li Xiaoqiang has challenged many times, basically once every other year, and then let Ma Xiaofei achieve a milestone-like achievement with his own hands, which is really a bit embarrassing.

This time, however, things seem to be a little different. The game hasn't even started yet, and everyone is predicting that this time the "celebrity" may change hands. This is not because Li Xiaoqiang is at his peak, in fact, Li Xiaoqiang was also at his peak a few years ago, but he still failed to regain the title of "celebrity". The reason why everyone is really optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang is mainly because of Ma Xiaofei's decline.

After entering this year, Ma Xiaofei's achievements in the domestic and international arenas are boring, except for a "celebrity" title, there are no highlights in other competitions, and it can be said that he has completely retreated now. Moreover, his situation cannot be said to be "not in good shape", but a full-scale recession in the real sense.

After entering this year, Ma Xiaofei, Cao Yanzi, and Liu Changhe, the three chess players who were ranked in the top 10 in the world last year, suddenly declined in an all-round way, which is a hypocritical thing. Of course, the reasons for the decline of these three are different. Cao Yanzi belongs to a normal metabolism, even if he is like a god of war, he can't resist the erosion of the years, and there is no way to do it. And Yoo Chang-hyuk was due to an accident, his beloved wife died unexpectedly this year, which caused his state to be greatly affected, and since then, he has never been able to regain his strength after slipping from the peak.

If Lao Cao is a natural phenomenon and Da Liu is an accident, what about Ma Xiao? Ma Xiao gave up on his own and was ready to start playing "Happy Go", which was the main reason for the sharp decline in his performance.

Ma Xiaofei currently only has the title of "celebrity" in his hands, and Ma Xiaofei in such a situation has encountered Li Xiaoqiang in such a situation, so even Ma Xiaofei himself does not think that he has the possibility of defending the title.

"Fortunately, this time it's Xiaoqiang to challenge, if it's someone else, I may still be a little unwilling, then I don't have any regrets...

Ma Xiaofei's meaning was not spoken, he regarded this five-game chess decisive battle as his farewell match, so he was very happy that his opponent this time was Li Xiaoqiang.

Due to Li Xiaoqiang's unusually busy season this year, in order to take care of his arena, the daily schedule of the final of this 'celebrity battle' was a little hasty, and the five games were arranged to be played within a week.

The organizer arranges the game in this way, in fact, there is another meaning, that is, it thinks that this game is likely to play less than 5 games.

After the start of the competition, the process did not exceed everyone's expectations. Li Xiaoqiang won two games in a row, and although Ma Xiaofei tried his best to win back a game in the third set, he soon lost the fourth game. After the 4th game, Li Xiaoqiang finally returned to the "celebrity" position after 15 years.

In addition to regaining the "celebrity", the victory in this game has another significance for Li Xiaoqiang, that is, the four major domestic challenge titles "celebrity", "Tianyuan", "national player" and "chess king" are all in the hands of Li Xiaoqiang alone.

The last piece of the puzzle of Li Xiaoqiang's domestic hegemony is finally completed at this moment!

Because of Ma Xiaofei, although this puzzle came a little late, it was achieved by Li Xiaoqiang at this moment.

Of course, that's not the most important thing, but it's more interesting to see something else.

At the end of the 4th game, Ma Xiaofei, who had just lost the last title in his hand, looked very calm. Because it was expected that the "celebrity" might change hands this time, many reporters came to interview this final.

In the face of many reporters, Ma Xiaofei said to Li Xiaoqiang with a smile:

"Xiaoqiang, thank you for not shaving my bald head this time, do you know why I did my best in the third game?"

"Huh?"

Li Xiaoqiang is also quite confused about this, because Li Xiaoqiang has experienced the game himself, so his feelings are clearer than others: in the 1, 2, and 4 games, it can be said that they are all bloodless, and Li Xiaoqiang won quite clearly, but in the 3rd game, Li Xiaoqiang felt that he had encountered extremely stubborn resistance, and Ma Xiaofei did play at a very high level, and all the games were won by Ma Xiaofei.

"Being able to play so beautifully shows that you are still very good. I said Ma Xiao, you really shouldn't play Happy Go from now on... Reporter Zhang Da on the side made a joke like this.

"No, my own situation, I myself know very well... Ma Xiaofei interrupted reporter Zhang Da's words, and after glancing at Li Xiaoqiang with a smile, he said to reporter Zhang Da:

"It just so happens that you are here today, and the reason why I thank Xiaoqiang for letting me win a game is because this set of victory is of great significance to me...

While saying this, Ma Xiaofei took out a stack of things from his handbag and handed them to reporter Zhang Da.

Reporter Zhang Da laughed wildly after reading it: "Hahaha, so that's the case... ”

What Ma Xiaofei took out turned out to be all the records of his and Li Xiaoqiang's battles over the years, and the chess scores were recorded very clearly, except for the game that had just ended, there were a total of 98 in front.

That is, so far, Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei have played against each other a total of 99 times.

Why did reporter Zhang Da laugh wildly? Why does Ma Xiaofei say that winning a game is important to him? Because in a total of 99 encounters, Ma Xiaofei led 50-49, and he won exactly 1 more game!

Li Xiaoqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, Ma Xiaofei smiled proudly, and the reporters began to commotion, and everyone was busy recording this interesting scene.

"Xiaoqiang is destined to be a famous figure in history, and his position in the history of Go in the future is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but with this record, I think my Ma Xiaofei will be remembered in the future. Because I'm probably the only player who has played against Xiaoqiang more than 10 times and is still ahead of him in terms of overall record. ”

"Hahahaha..."

Ma Xiaofei's words made everyone laugh. Although Ma Xiaofei and Li Xiaoqiang belong to chess players of different generations, the reason why Ma Xiaofei's record is ahead is mainly because Li Xiaoqiang owed too many debts in his early years, and such a record does not explain anything. But in any case, this is also a very remarkable record, and it is a very remarkable record for any chess player who is in the same era as Li Xiaoqiang! Isn't it?

Looking at Ma Xiaofei, who seemed to be "proud", Li Xiaoqiang had a different emotion in his heart. From his previous life to this life, Li Xiaoqiang has actually always liked and respected Ma Xiaofei very much.

In his previous life, Ma Xiaofei's "Thirty-six Strategies and Go", his "12 wins" and "12 defeats", and his "Mysterious Prologue" were read by Li Xiaoqiang, who was a chess fan. In real history, Li Xiaoqiang, as a chess fan, even had the opportunity to be personally guided by Ma Xiaofei. Of course, the result of that game of guidance chess made Li Xiaoqiang a little difficult to speak.

Li Xiaoqiang, who was an amateur strong 5 back then, accepted the guidance of professional chess players 2 to win and lose, and 2 may be a little difficult, but if you let 3 pieces, Li Xiaoqiang basically never lost. But in the game with Ma Xiaofei, Li Xiaoqiang put 4 pieces, and finally lost in a daze.

Although a game of chess doesn't mean anything, Ma Xiaofei's strength has always impressed Li Xiaoqiang. And some people have always said that Ma Xiaofei is arrogant, and this person is not very easy to deal with, but through that contact with Li Xiaoqiang, I found that at least in the face of ordinary chess fans, Ma Xiaofei is still very friendly.

His sensitivity, his arrogance, is just the inherent fault of being a smart person, in essence, Ma Xiaofei is actually the same as all people who like Go, he is a good person!

Thinking of Ma Xiaofei's friendliness to him in his previous life, and his support in this life:

"Mr. Ma...

Li Xiaoqiang silently read a sentence in his heart. (To be continued.) )
