The station is not far from the Japan Chess Academy. The two talked and laughed all the way and walked there. In fact, the interaction between people is also in the process of constant positioning adjustment. When Li Xiaoqiang no longer treats Zhang Zhidong as a reporter, Zhang Zhidong no longer treats Li Xiaoqiang as a child. Completely as a chess friend, it is like an old friend for many years.

But it's a pity that our poor reporter Zhang Da's positioning is always inaccurate. It's already a bit awkward to treat a child as a friend. After in-depth conversation, well, Zhang Zhidong always felt that he was a child and the other party was an adult.

talked endlessly for a long time, Li Xiaoqiang didn't talk much, and occasionally came to comment or two. Both accurate and incisive. Zhang Zhidong feels like he is talking to an elderly person with rich life experience. Zhang Zhidong is only in his 20s now, in front of Li Xiaoqiang, who is nearly 40 years old. Of course, it is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

This feeling made our reporter Zhang Da very uncomfortable, and in order to show that he was definitely not so shallow, he had to work harder to show off his knowledge.

Zhang Zhidong is a Go reporter, and if he wants to show off, he has to show his insights at the bottom of the box. It should be said that Zhang Zhidong's knowledge of Go is still good. However, in the face of Li Xiaoqiang, he found that he didn't have much to talk about in Go. In the Chinese chess world, people have already mixed into that circle. Ancient chess, people are the descendants of the authentic lineage. The rest of us have to talk about the Japanese chess world.

"If you don't make a sound, you're already a blockbuster, why did you suddenly say something like that the night before? The big bamboo hero doesn't seem to offend you, why do I feel like you don't like to see him. ”

"Hehe, I said that in the future, Japanese Go will die at the hands of Otake Heroes. Do you believe me? ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Did your master say that? Let's hear it. ”

Zhang Zhidong was very interested. In this era, the concept that Japanese Go is strong is deeply rooted, and Chinese Go aims to catch up with and surpass Japanese Go. Now some people are shocking, and of course reporter Zhang Da asked again and again.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang refused to say more, and was forced to be anxious. I had to say in a joking tone:

"Hehe, what are you anxious about, don't worry, you can see it in your lifetime."

Reporter Zhang Da was very dissatisfied with Li Xiaoqiang's unfathomable attitude. I was about to think of a way to come out, and the Japanese Chess Academy arrived.

Go has been professionalized for some years in Japan. The schedule of the tournament is relatively stable, and generally every Thursday is the match day. On this day, there are more people in the chess academy, of course, it is not necessarily, if you meet someone who has a particularly good score for a period of time, it will be busy. One game a week can't be arranged.

It's not Thursday, so I didn't think there would be many people in the chess courtyard. When I arrived, I found that it was actually very lively. As soon as I inquired, I learned that there were two busy people in the Japanese chess world who had a make-up match. Li Xiaoqiang suddenly became interested, and he was very interested in the two chess players participating in the competition. These two are also a bit characteristic in the Japanese chess world. One of them is called Hiroshi Yamashiro and the other is Kiki Ita.

Hiroshi Yamashiro is a little younger than the "Six Supers" and is now about 30 years old and is in the mature period of his chess skills. In this era, the "six supers" in the Japanese chess world will be counted as him. Especially this year, he won the right to challenge Japan's "Honinfang" battle.

The competition for the right to challenge "Ben Yin Fang" is a round-robin system, with 8 people forming a round-robin circle. This year, Japan's Honinbo is Masaki Takemiya, and the other 5 super-first-class and Hiroshi Yamashiro are all in the circle. Hiroshi Yamashiro can get the right to challenge, which means that his level is very good. He also played many times in the ring, nicknamed "Osmosis Flow", and was the absolute backbone of the Japanese chess world.

What makes Li Xiaoqiang most interesting is that this guy is very hard. If you want to choose the most tragic professional chess player, Li Xiaoqiang must vote for Hiroshi Yamashiro.

If you want to say that there are many large and small Go competitions in Japan every year, Hiroshi Yamashiro's strength is also good. But this person has never won a championship once in his life. Local and regional championships don't count, they refer to title fights and other national competitions. Not a single one. To say that according to his strength, Meng can also get one or two. It's a pity he didn't have one. Compared to him, Chang Rensheng's later tragedies were not worth mentioning at all.

Another Yitian Kiki even attracted Li Xiaoqiang's attention. Yida is now 20 years old and is known as the crown prince of Japanese Go. It is regarded as a rising star in Japan, and this year he has won the championship of youth competitions such as Japan's "Rookie King", "New Talent Battle" and "Junying Battle". A standout among young Japanese chess players. This also shows that the Japanese Go game is not in good shape.

In the post-six super era, Yitian also became famous in the Japanese chess world for several years. In the world of chess, Kiki Ita can be regarded as the most representative of Japanese Go. At one time, he had the title of "Li Shifo's nemesis", which was also a relatively evil thing. After him, Japanese Go also completely degenerated. Occasionally, Zhang Xu takes a championship and looks back to the past.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that if he wanted to do something in Go. In the future, Kiki Ita will also be one of his main opponents. So I want to take a good look at my future opponents.

Yamada Rokudan, who was in charge of arranging the tournament from the Japan Chess Academy, came out to receive two Chinese guests. After hearing that Li Xiaoqiang and they wanted to watch the game, they took them to the viewing room, and complimented Li Xiaoqiang as they walked:

"Li Sang is really working hard."

After a few people came to the viewing room, Yamada Rokudan left the two of them and went out. Li Xiaoqiang happened and there were no heavyweights in it. They are all young Japanese chess players and students. Li Xiaoqiang recalled some carefully, trying to find out if there were any chess players who were a little famous in later generations. I found that none could be found.

The young Japanese chess players in the viewing room are also curious about the "mysterious boy" who has been in the limelight recently. However, except for basic etiquette, no one took the initiative to come and set it up. At this time, Yamada Liudan went and returned, followed by a Umezawa Yukari. It turned out that Li Xiaoqiang came here temporarily, so Yamada Liudan wanted to help the Chinese guests find a translator. It wasn't that there weren't many people in the chess academy on the day of the game, and Yamada Liudan caught Umezawa, who was a college student, to catch the strong man.

I didn't expect Zhang Zhidong to be very familiar with Mei Ze. Li Xiaoqiang was secretly strange, and Zhang Zhidong explained softly. It turned out that Umezawa had spent some time in China and had actually studied in the capital for a few months. And he has participated in the "Xiuxing Army" organized by Fujisawa Hideyuki many times to visit China, so the two are very familiar.

Umezawa came in and greeted him first, and then chatted with a group of young Japanese chess players. A group of young people looked eager to try. Zhang Zhidong also knows a little Japanese, and after listening to it, he actually looks ready to watch a good show.

He didn't say it, and Li Xiaoqiang didn't bother to ask. Zhilu Dao is mostly related to himself, anyway, it is impossible to play chess with himself, he still has a game tomorrow, no matter which cat or dog comes up, he has a reason to refuse. The others don't bother to care what kind of plane they have.

Yamashiro and Itada played a game of rapid chess. The game passed very quickly. Li Xiaoqiang was a little bored staying here, but it was okay if he was watching the game on the spot. Playing chess in the lab like this is a complete lack of interest.

After the game came, Umezawa suddenly became active. Every time the chess game reaches a point of divergence, he asks Li Xiaoqiang how to play. Li Xiaoqiang's thinking is of course different from that of Japanese Go in this year, and there are 8 times out of 10 questions that are different from the later chess games. Umezawa had a victorious expression, and many young Japanese chess players also cast contemptuous glances.

Li Xiaoqiang secretly mourned for the Japanese game of Go. Take the master's chess as the standard answer, and everything is in order. No wonder Japanese Go is rapidly degenerating.

Li Xiaoqiang was absent-minded. This kind of non-self-related game is not interesting to study. I was also preparing to say goodbye and go home. Just as he was about to speak, Yukari Umezawa beckoned to him.

"Li Sang, please come over for a while......"
