At the end of the first game of the 3rd "Ying's Cup" finals, Li Xiaoqiang's super trick became a topic of discussion after the game. Although this is only the first game of Wuban chess, after this game, many people already think that there is no suspense in this final, and Li Xiaoqiang will not surprisingly win the championship of this "Ying's Cup".

Indeed, Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhe had just met in this final, and at that time, the vast majority of those who were optimistic that Li Xiaoqiang could finally win the championship accounted for the vast majority.

After all, the historical records of the two are there, Liu Changhe has only won one game in the hands of Li Xiaoqiang for so many years, and if you only look at the records of the two against each other, you will feel that the two are not opponents at the same level at all. At that time, although some people spoke for Liu Changhe, saying that Liu Changhyuk's competitive state this year was excellent, and his strength should not be underestimated.

However, the competitive state also depends on who you compare with, and compared with others, Liu Changhyuk's state this year is of course very hot. But he met Li Xiaoqiang, the only chess player who seemed to be in more hot form than him this year. Therefore, even the Korean media, which has always been hard-mouthed, was very low-key during that time.

It wasn't until not long ago that Li Xiaoqiang lost to Li Shifo, and Li Shifo had just lost to Liu Changhe, that public opinion in the outside world was not as one-sided as before. However, when the first game was over, public opinion from the outside world once again tilted violently in the direction of Li Xiaoqiang.

Because everyone knows that in the Go world, "inequality theory" such as "A is greater than B, B is greater than C, then A must be greater than C" is simply unreliable. Compared with this "inequality theory", the situation of "round robin" in the Go world is a little more common.

Compared with the level and historical record, it is not comparable to others, and there is no advantage over the state of state, and the little momentum that has just started was soon suppressed by a shocking skill. So after the inaugural tournament, there was hardly anyone talking about who would win the championship in the end. Compared with this, more people are discussing what kind of score Li Xiaoqiang will win the championship.

On the second day after the end of the first game, a training room in the China Chess Academy. Li Xiaoqiang and reporter Zhang Da played chess together. The two sets are only one day apart, and usually no one will bother Li Xiaoqiang at this time. If you are an ordinary reporter, even if you want to interview Li Xiaoqiang at this time, you will most likely be blocked by the management of the chess academy.

But this will definitely not include reporter Zhang Da, who is now also famous, and has been friends for so many years, Li Xiaoqiang still has to give his face, so reporter Zhang Da can always get first-hand information from Li Xiaoqiang.

"Xiaoqiang, how do you feel about winning this game of chess yesterday? You may not know, but Mr. Wu praised you in the research room yesterday. He said that your current realm has improved. Now tell me how you came up with this move. ”

As for the technical problems, reporter Zhang Da has been very detailed in the research room yesterday, if you listen to the thoughts of the players in the game, and finally make a wonderful pen to process and embellish, a good chess review can be released. It is not the first time that Li Xiaoqiang and reporter Zhang Da have done this kind of thing, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. That's what the two of them are doing now.

"What else can you think? When I found out about this move, it felt like I had grabbed a lifesaver. Looking back on it now, it's all scary. If there is no such move, the game will be accounted for. How do I feel, you ask? Well. There are two main feelings I feel, the first one is tired, really tired! I didn't expect Yoo Chang-hyuk to be in such good shape. The second feeling, of course, is fear. I'm so scared ......"

Tired and afraid?

This answer is not in line with Zhang Da's reporter's expectations. Reporter Zhang Da stared at Li Xiaoqiang's eyes:

"Hey, I said Xiaoqiang, our relationship is so familiar, you don't seem to have to say anything polite in front of me. Tired and afraid? Is this really how you really feel? Isn't it true that you used to have something like "it feels good to win?" ”

Li Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes: "I really don't know how you got famous." You'll take it seriously when I used to say polite things to you. Now that I'm familiar with you, I'll tell you two words of sincerity. But my sincere words were taken as polite words by you. You don't have the ability to discern? Or what do you think? I thought it would be easy to make this move. The biggest headache in the game is to meet this kind of person who is in good condition, and when you meet such a person. I am often very tired when I get up. For example, this move is clearly forced out by others. ”

Reporter Zhang laughed: "You guy, you're not happy to make a good move." ”

"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, of course no one will be unhappy to be able to make such a good move. But it's all in hindsight. In a real game, no one wants to win in this way. If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask a random chess player, and I promise that most people think the same way as I do. Because after all, this is an abnormal way to win, and not every game of chess can be played well. ”

"So what is the normal way to win?"

"The most common way to win in professional Go. How do you say it in your Shencheng dialect? Well, picking up wallets, picking up wallets should be the most common way to win in professional games. So as the saying goes, you are not afraid of the opponent's high level when playing chess, and the most afraid is that there is no wallet to pick up.

"Hahahaha......"

Reporter Zhang Da was laughing in his mouth, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, saying in his heart What kind of colloquial words are you? How come I've never heard of it? Spit and complain, he still understands what Li Xiaoqiang means:

"You mean to say that because Yoo Chang-hyuk is in good shape, it makes it difficult for you to pick up his wallet, so you are very tired from him?"

"That's right, that's what it means......" Speaking of this, Li Xiaoqiang put away his hippie smile, and his expression became slightly serious: "Actually, we all know that we all know that we would rather meet a super-first-class person who is not in good condition than a strong Jiu who is in good condition, let alone a super-first-class person like Liu Changhe, who is in a state of bursting power." You can go ahead and see, don't look at my first game of chess seems to be very popular, but this five-game final is definitely not as easy as you expected. ”

Reporter Zhang Da carefully forgave Li Xiaoqiang again, although he did not take Li Xiaoqiang's words very seriously. However, he still pretended to be gratified:

"Okay, if you can keep such a clear mind after winning, then I'm relieved now. Hahahaha......"

In order to match the demeanor of speaking, reporter Zhang Da also reached out and was about to pat Li Xiaoqiang's shoulder, but unfortunately Li Xiaoqiang did not let him succeed.

"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang......"

Just when Li Xiaoqiang and reporter Zhang Da were fighting, Team Leader Hua came in to find Li Xiaoqiang.

"Team Leader. What's the matter with you? ”

"As for your recent schedule, let's hear your own opinion."

"Oh?"

Throughout the month of June, the most important tournament is, of course, the "Ying Cup". But in addition to the "Ying's Cup", Li Xiaoqiang still has other competitions to participate in. For example, the annual "National Player Battle" and "Chess King Battle" pre-selections are started at this time. There are schedule conflicts, especially for a major match such as the "Ying's Cup" final. Of course, management will come in to coordinate. Team Leader Hua came here for this matter.

"You are the reigning "national player", the "national hand battle" preliminaries have nothing to do with you, and the "chess king battle" is not a big problem, even if you play five games in the "Ying's Cup", you only need to move the game with you a little back. Now the problem is "armor". Isn't there a one-week interval between the "Ying's Cup", and now I'm here to ask for your own opinion, in this interval, do you need to play an official game? If so, do you think your opponent is better off on a strong or weak side? ”

"Training at home and unanimously with the outside world" is the characteristic of Chinese sports, and of course it is also the characteristic of Chinese Go. This is also the so-called Chinese characteristics. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is a very good Chinese characteristic. At least it's better than the rigid schedule of Japanese Go. When there was a conflict in the Japanese Go schedule, they never changed it. As for Chinese Go, such as Li Xiaoqiang, he can not only decide whether to participate or not. You can even pick your opponents.

"A week...... Teacher Hua, then let's arrange a game of chess for me, not too much, just arrange a game of chess. ”

"Good. Do you need to be stronger or weaker for your opponents? ”

"Who are we going to play against in the next round?"

"Team Yamashiro."

Team Yamashiro? In real history, the Yamashiro team can be called a giant team in the early armor. However, in this life, due to the armor being several years in advance. Although the current Shancheng team is also a strong team, it is still not as good as the current Shencheng team and Zhejiang provincial team.

"Who is it better to pick......

The current Shancheng team has Zhou Dayang, Liu Qing, and ......

Li Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered yesterday's game of chess, that trick was really ...... After making up his mind, Li Xiaoqiang smiled and said to Team Leader Hua: "Since it is an adjustment, then the intensity of this game of chess should not be so big." Team Leader Hua, please go over and talk to that kid Gu Dali, and I said that I will personally guide him in two days. Hahahaha......"

"Okay, I'll go over and talk to the Yamashiro team."

Team Leader Hua left after finishing speaking, but Reporter Zhang Da, who was standing next to him, was a little confused. In his opinion, Li Xiaoqiang "guided" Gu Dali, isn't this a normal thing? He didn't understand why Li Xiaoqiang could smile so happily.

Of course he won't understand, and he never will.

When a karma 5 of a previous life said that he wanted to "guide" Gu Dali, no one would be unhappy.

After Team Leader Hua left, Li Xiaoqiang chatted with reporter Zhang Da again, and the two were ready to retreat.

"By the way, did you see Li Shifo today?"

Just now I talked to Team Leader Hua about the armor, and Li Xiaoqiang remembered that Li Shifo happened to be in the capital now, so he was ready to go over and talk to him.

"Who knows? Early in the morning, I saw him and Lao Cao go to the chess academy to borrow a pair of Go, and after returning to the hotel, I haven't seen them, so I guess I spent a whole day in the hotel. Do you want to go to him now? ”

"Oh!?"

Li Xiaoqiang was slightly stunned. Of course, he knew very well in his heart that Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo jointly accompanied Liu Changhe to China to compete, and of course the two of them did not come to China to play.

Among the three Go powers of China, Japan and South Korea, Japanese players are of course the most casual and individualistic. And now in Korean Go, they still have a considerable sense of collective honor. Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo came to the capital this time, in fact, to act as Liu Changhe's staff and give him advice.

"Hehe, when the three top Korean masters get together, what kind of way will they come up with to deal with me......"

"Xiaoqiang, what are you doing again?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I've changed my mind, let's see you tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

On the second day, the second game of the final was played. Needless to say, Li Xiaoqiang walked into the arena accompanied by reporter Zhang Da.

On the other side, Liu Changhe was saying goodbye to Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo:

"Thank you Cao Guoshou and the Stone Buddha, then I'll go in now."

Cao Yanzi looked at Liu Changhe: "Changhe, you have to believe in yourself, what we discussed yesterday may be the most appropriate countermeasure." ”

Liu Changhe looked at Li Shifo, and Li Shifo gave him an affirmative look:

"Yes, the most important thing is to believe in yourself. Go ahead, go and give it a go. ”

Yoo Chang-hyuk smiled, then he turned around and walked into the game room with a determined gaze.

What is the conspiracy of the 3 top Korean masters?

In the second game of the final of the 3rd "Yingshi Cup" World Professional Go Championship, Li Xiaoqiang VS Liu Changhe started soon. (To be continued.) )
