In the final of the 11th "Fujitsu Cup", Li Xiaoqiang defeated Chang Rensheng and won his seventh world championship.

As soon as the game ended, reporter Zhang Da rushed into the game room:

"Xiaoqiang, that place is a trap you deliberately set, right?"

Li Xiaoqiang smiled silently, but Chang Rensheng looked ignorant: "What trap ......?"

When reporter Zhang Da showed Chang Rensheng the key to victory and defeat in the research room, Chang Rensheng suddenly realized that he didn't see such a simple method, and he might miss a world championship because of this. His flushed face suddenly turned pale, and his look of chagrin was pale.

"It's a pity for Xiao Chang in this game of chess, the main thing is to lose due to lack of experience, today is another leak by Xiao Qiang, it doesn't matter, let's come back next time."

Seeing Chang Rensheng's appearance, Team Leader Hua, who came in with reporter Zhang Da, hurriedly comforted him.

Li Xiaoqiang has all this in his eyes. Did you win a fluke in today's game of chess? At least Li Xiaoqiang himself doesn't think so. On the surface, Chang Rensheng did lose in experience today, but in Go, "experience" is actually part of strength.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Chang Rensheng still loses in terms of overall strength.

For example, in today's game, in the subsequent review, Li Xiaoqiang quickly showed everyone what comprehensive strength is, and at the same time convinced Chang Ren's sacred heart.

The review starts with what everyone thinks is a "trap". Li Xiaoqiang first put on the chessboard what the research room thought was the best response, assuming that Chang Rensheng did not make a mistake at that time, and then made another move on the chessboard:

"If you deal like this in actual combat, I was going to play like this, how are you going to deal with this move?"

"Huh?!"

Li Xiaoqiang's move made Chang Rensheng not react for a long time. Because to be honest, he didn't think of this move at all during the game, if Li Xiaoqiang really played this move in actual combat, of course he could "see the move" when he was playing, but Li Xiaoqiang now asked him "how to deal with it at that time", Chang Rensheng naturally didn't know what to say.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoqiang smiled, his chess moves did not stop, and continued to extend the discussion of this game of chess.

"If I play this, of course, I think the best response for white is this...... What if I'm going to go here again? Xiao Chang, what do you think I should do with this move......

Chang Rensheng smiled bitterly, Chang Rensheng only had a bitter smile now, his annoyed look just now was swept away, and it was replaced by a happy and sincere convincing: "Boss, don't hit me again today, alas, everything else is actually fake, in the final analysis, it's still your own level......"

Yes, at this time, Chang Rensheng has already seen that if he loses today in a trap set by Li Xiaoqiang for himself, then this trap is also a very profound, very complex, and serial trap carefully designed by Li Xiaoqiang.

Can he escape this trap set by Li Xiaoqiang? Chang Rensheng can't deceive his heart, he thinks it's difficult to do it in actual combat, because Li Xiaoqiang's methods are more hidden and more difficult than the other. The two follow-up methods he just laid out were not even thought of in the game, so it was difficult for him to completely deal with them correctly when he was nervous.

In fact, I made a mistake in the first part of the simplest part of this chain trap, and it would be too self-deceptive to think that my loss was a matter of luck at this time.

What is the difference between professional and professional chess players? In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang once heard a "backbone chess player" in China describe the gap between him and top chess players:

"It seems that everyone in Go can do it, but why am I not as good as him? Because when I was playing him, I was thinking about something that he probably probably knew most, and what was he thinking about in the game? Then I don't know a lot, which is actually why I can't win against him. ”

Li Xiaoqiang and Chang Rensheng's game today is actually the best interpretation of this sentence.

This year's "Fujitsu Cup" ended because it was a civil war between Chinese chess players, and the final result was not unexpected, so the stories that happened on the chessboard of this game, including the stories that happened during the review, did not attract much discussion after the game.

After the game, all the talk focused on Li Xiaoqiang alone.

This is Li Xiaoqiang's second crown this year and his seventh crown. The 2 world champions that have been produced this year are now all under the name of Li Xiaoqiang!

There are only 4 world champions in total this year, and now half of them are under the name of Li Xiaoqiang!

“…… Take the world by storm! After watching Li Xiaoqiang's performance in the "Fujitsu Cup", I don't know why, such a word naturally popped up in my mind. Now Li Xiaoqiang, who else can stop him from moving forward? Who else can stop Li Xiaoqiang from sweeping the world......"

As early as three or four years ago, everyone was already discussing the possibility of the "Li Xiaoqiang era". Due to Ma Xiaofei's strong outburst back then, the "Li Xiaoqiang era" did not come in time. However, since last year, especially since the beginning of this year, we have been able to see a "dynasty" more and more clearly. Li Xiaoqiang, who has become a master of chess, is now starting to conquer the city frantically, and now he has obviously entered the harvest season......"

After the end of the "Fujitsu Cup", everyone was praising Li Xiaoqiang's performance, and the topic of "Li Xiaoqiang's dynasty" was mentioned again, but unlike a few years ago, when everyone talked about this topic this time, it was a bit of a matter of course. Can Li Xiaoqiang really sweep the world? Everyone is waiting to see what happens.

The Fujitsu Cup ended in early August, and in the following August, the World Series did not start so quickly, and both the Samsung Cup and the LC Cup did not continue until September. But Li Xiaoqiang still has a few international competitions to participate in.

The first one is the "Asian Cup", Li Xiaoqiang, as last year's champion, directly qualified for this year's participation, not only that, the rules of the "Asian Cup" are that the previous champion directly enters the semi-finals of the next competition, which means that it is possible to defend the champion with only 2 games of chess.

In addition to the "Asian Cup", Li Xiaoqiang, as the Chinese Go "Tian Yuan", he also needs to participate in this year's "Sino-Japanese Go Tian Yuan Competition", after "guiding" Liu Shixun for several years, Li Xiaoqiang finally changed opponents this time.

In this year's Japanese Go "Tian Yuan Tournament", Liu Shixun was defeated by challenger Kobayashi Koji, so that Li Xiaoqiang's opponent was replaced by Mr. Kobayashi Koji.

Since the beginning of this year, Mr. Kobayashi, who has come out of the pain of losing his wife, seems to have obviously recovered his state. He made an all-out attack in Japan's "Tengen War", "Judan War", "Throne War", "Small Chess Holy War", plus several other rapid chess tournaments, and now he even had the hope of becoming Japan's "Five Crowns" at one point. At present, the hottest topic in the Japanese chess world is the resurgence of Kobayashi.

It's a pity that when talking about a person's "era" in the Japanese chess world, most of them are based on the "big triple crown" as the standard, and although Mr. Kobayashi is currently in excellent form, if he can't win one of the "big triple crowns", he will not be able to continue the glory of the "Kobayashi era".

In mid-August, Li Xiaoqiang, Yu Bin and others went to Seoul, South Korea, to participate in this year's "Asian Cup". In the semi-finals, Li Xiaoqiang defeated the host chess player Cao Yanzi to enter the final. In the final, Li Xiaoqiang defeated Japanese chess player Kiki Ita and won the championship of this year's "Asian Cup".

In late August, Li Xiaoqiang faced the visiting Japanese "Tian Yuan" Kobayashi Koji at the Chinese Chess Academy.

"This is the first time I have played chess with Mr. Kobayashi, but unfortunately in the past few years, I have not been able to win the Chinese "celebrity", which has also led to me not having the opportunity to ask Mr. Kobayashi for chess, which is a pity of mine, so I cherish this opportunity very much......

At the opening ceremony before the game, Li Xiaoqiang made such a "pre-game speech". As for the result of this confrontation, it seems that as Li Xiaoqiang said, it is a pity that he can't play chess with Xiaolin at his peak, so what about playing chess with Xiaolin now? This does not seem to be a level of confrontation anymore.

In this "Sino-Japanese Go Tianyuan Match", Li Xiaoqiang defeated Kobayashi Koji with a score of 2-0 very simply and won the game again.

Throughout August, Li Xiaoqiang played these five international matches. In these 5 games, Li Xiaoqiang maintained a complete victory. These five matches allowed him to win 2 titles and 1 head-to-head match.

For a while, Li Xiaoqiang's performance was eye-catching again. "Li Xiaoqiang era", "Li Xiaoqiang dynasty", "swept the world" and other words were once again on everyone's lips.

Entering September, the last two World Professional Go Championships of the year, the "Samsung Cup" and the "LG Cup", finally began. Li Xiaoqiang first went to South Korea with a large army to participate in the round of 32 and the round of 16 of the "LG Cup".

"Xiaoqiang, you know what a "Golden Slam" is, right? ”

Li Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes: "The 4 Grand Slam tournaments in the tennis world, if a player can win these 4 major tournaments within a year, it is called the "Golden Slam". I said Zhang Da reporter, I know what you want to express, are you annoyed by this metaphor? ”

"Hehe, then do you know what it means to be a high eight bucket?"

Li Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes again: "If there is a total of one stone of talent in the world, then Cao Zijian alone occupies eight buckets, and the other bucket belongs to whoever and whom, and one bucket is divided by other people in the world." I said, reporter Zhang, can your analogy be a little new? Don't you just want to say that the champion of this world is the best, and I, Li Xiaoqiang, will take eighty percent alone, right? ”

Reporter Zhang Da was not ashamed but proud, and he said proudly:

"There are only two World Championships left this year, and if you can win both championships, it will be considered a Golden Slam in the Go world. If you only win one championship in two competitions, that's barely enough to be a talent of eight buckets. Xiaoqiang, which one are you going to choose? ”

Li Xiaoqiang was amused by reporter Zhang Da's words:

"It's not that easy, in case you can't get any of them. But...... Let's take it one step at a time......"

Li Xiaoqiang's words revealed a sense of confidence, and he began his journey to sweep the world. (To be continued.) )
