"A beautiful blocking battle, with Ma Xiaofei's victory, announced that the world chess world is still in the era of melee......" (South Korean "Go")

This is the end of the final of the 6th Toyo Securities Cup. This final was played between two Chinese chess players, and the whole match may not be "heart-wrenching". But both the process of the game and the content of the chess game are exciting enough. After all 5 games of chess, various media reported on the finals in many ways.

The focus of media reports, in addition to praising Ma Xiaofei and praising his "unprecedentedly wonderful hand", what everyone mentioned the most was the "Li Xiaoqiang Dynasty" that failed to come.

In all the reports, everyone did not criticize Li Xiaoqiang's performance in this final. thinks that his performance is quite normal, but he is just not very lucky, and he actually met Ma Xiaofei who is in such a good state.

There are many media who believe that in the next two games, Ma Xiaofei's state can only be described as crazy. In terms of overall strength, he and Li Xiaoqiang themselves are inseparable. Even if many people think that Li Xiaoqiang may be a little stronger, it is extremely limited, and the gap between the two is only a millimeter.

Ma Xiaofei himself has the strength to defeat Li Xiaoqiang, plus he is in good shape this time, and even his luck is better than Li Xiaoqiang. Of course, this is a rare piece of good luck. Therefore, the media generally believes that Li Xiaoqiang's loss this time did not occur to him. Li Xiaoqiang behaves as a normal Li Xiaoqiang, while Ma Xiaofei behaves as an extraordinary Ma Xiaofei.

After watching the last two finals, super chess players such as Kobayashi Koji of Japan, Zhao Zhixun, Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo of South Korea even stated that if they met Ma Xiaofei in such a state, it is estimated that there is no chance of winning, and their performance will not be better than Li Xiaoqiang

In a word. The vast majority of media reports and the statements of chess players not only did not criticize Li Xiaoqiang's performance, but were even full of exculpatory implications.

Of course, not all media outlets, such as the Japanese magazine "Chess", published a chess review written by Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa. In this chess review, the old god stick made a severe criticism of Li Xiaoqiang.

The old gentleman is very interesting, and others say that it is "road" to "powder". can be one of the most determined "small strong fans" in Japan, and now there is a gradual trend of "fans" turning "roads". Entering this year. This is not the first time he has criticized Li Xiaoqiang.

"Compared with Li Xiaoqiang a year or two ago, is Li Sang really stronger now? No! I don't think so! That's right, the current Li Xiaoqiang may have become more comprehensive. But definitely not getting stronger. Now that I watch Li Xiaoqiang's chess, it is difficult to have that feeling of blood boiling. It's also hard to feel his sharpness. Indeed, a well-rounded Li Xiaoqiang seems to be more able to win chess. But is Li Xiaoqiang, who is even more able to win chess, really become stronger? I don't think so! I don't know why, the current Li Sang always reminds me of the former Kato-kun. If Li Sang continues like this. The world chess world may be able to add a super-first-class - a super-first-class who can win very well, but it is absolutely impossible to give birth to a Go master......"

In late June, more than 10 days have passed since the final of the "Toyo Securities Cup". Chinese Chess Academy. Zhao Dabao sat in Li Xiaoqiang's dormitory with Erlang's legs crossed:

"Good guys, even Kato's example has been moved out. But I think there seems to be some truth in the words of the old god. Chubby, what do you think of it yourself? ”

After saying this, Zhao Dabao pulled his throat to the other side:

"Lin Da Beauty, pour me a cup of tea, thank you......"

Lin Mengyu pursed her lips and smiled, poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Dabao.

Zhao Dabao and Lin Mengyu are now close to graduation. Originally, at this time, they didn't have much to do, but those who have experienced graduation know that in the period before graduating from college, it was always all kinds of blind busyness. Busy with all kinds of graduation wine, busy with all kinds of graduation photos, and busy with all kinds of separation...... Li Xiaoqiang has been back in the capital for more than 10 days, Lin Mengyu has often seen him, but Zhao Dabao has not seen him for a long time. Today I heard that Li Xiaoqiang's uncle Hu Yi was coming to the capital, so Zhao Dabao came over on purpose.

"Lin Mengyu's job is decided? Just join our Mr. Hu's company? ”

Zhao Dabao asked Li Xiaoqiang. After getting Li Xiaoqiang's affirmative answer, Zhao Dabao said in a half-joking, half-ridiculous tone:

"Our head office Hu is now thriving, and we have become well-known entrepreneurs in China. It seems that the "Uncle Cup" is not a dream. By the way, I heard that he is still planning to set up a group company, and what is the name of the company? ”

"Tian Yuan Group."

"What. Tian Yuan Group? Zhao Dabao burst into laughter: "Such a cheesy name, you didn't help him choose it." ”

Li Xiaoqiang laughed for a while: "It's really not me, it's him who wants to take this name." ”

Zhao Dabao stood up, ran to the window door and pointed to a vacant lot not far from the Chinese Chess Academy:

"This is our Mr. Hu's first business in Beijing? Is that where you will settle down in the future? ”

Li Xiaoqiang and Lin Mengyu looked at each other and smiled, and did not answer Zhao Dabao's words. Most of Hu Yi's business is mainly in the south, and this is his first foray into the real estate industry in Beijing. Coincidentally, the first piece of land he took was not far from the Chinese Chess Academy. The Chinese Chess Academy is not far from the Temple of Heaven Park, since it is a place to worship the heavens, then according to the point of view of the old Sijiu City, this place is not very suitable for human habitation, at least not a prime location. Therefore, Hu Yi's acquisition of the land was quite smooth.

Of course, modern people don't pay attention to this. Once Hu Yi knew that Li Xiaoqiang had the intention of buying a house in the capital. He slapped his chest loudly, where Li Xiaoqiang settled down, he had to cover it himself. To be precise, let Lin Mengyu cover it himself. So Lin Mengyu entered the Beijing branch of the "Tian Yuan Group". And the first thing she did might be to build her future home.

Li Xiaoqiang and Zhao Dabao gossiped for a while, and Zhao Dabao turned the topic back to Fujisawa Hideyuki's criticism:

"Hey, you haven't answered me yet. What do you think of the criticism of the old god stick? ”

"What else can I see, I don't have time to think about this right now. The only thing I want to do now is how to get a few plates back from Ma Xiao's hands. Alas, it's a pity that the most recent opportunity has slipped him away, and the next time I want to meet him in the final, I don't know when it will be. ”

Li Xiaoqiang replied to the question. Regarding Mr. Xiuxing's criticism, Li Xiaoqiang did not think about it seriously. Li Xiaoqiang understands Mr. Xiuxing's worries, and what he wants to take now is a path of "all-round development". But is this path feasible? Will you lose your own strengths because you want to develop in an all-round way? To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang was also confused. Because in reality, there are almost no examples of success. There are many negative examples.

For example, the old god stick Na Kato Masao said things, that is a very typical example. Will you end up like Mr. Kato? Li Xiaoqiang has no bottom in his heart.

Despite this, Li Xiaoqiang is not willing to give up on the path he is currently taking. Since he was reborn once, Li Xiaoqiang is also ambitious.

What is Li Xiaoqiang's ambition? To put it bluntly, it is also very simple, if you divide Go into three technical links: prelude, middle game and official. If there is such a chess player, he has reached the level of "strong nine" in all three technical links, and there is a certain link that is particularly prominent. If you reach the level of "super first-class", then the player can be called super first-class. What if there were two links that reached the super-first-class level? Then this chess player can basically lead a generation of coquettish.

As for the three links that have reached the super-first-class level, it can be said that except for Mr. Wu Qingyuan, who barely reached the edge alone, no one else has reached this level.

And Li Xiaoqiang. He hopes that he can become such a chess player. That's his ambition.

On the one hand, there is confusion, on the other hand, ambition. Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang was reluctant to think too much about Mr. Xiuxing's criticism. The path you choose will eventually go on. Because beyond that, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't think of any other way.

"Okay, I won't talk about this topic, let's help me do the math. When will I be able to meet Ma Xiaofei? It's so depressing to lose in this final, what I want to do most now is to cut him a set. Alas, it's a pity that the last opportunity was missed, and he actually lost to Qian Da, I really didn't expect it......"

After losing, it is natural to be desperate for a chance to get back on the field. What Li Xiaoqiang just said was the "CCTV Cup" TV rapid chess match. After entering June, the schedule is not as dense as in May. After the end of the "Toyo Securities Cup", the only competition that Li Xiaoqiang participated in in mid-June was this "CCTV Cup". In the semifinals, Li Xiaoqiang successfully defeated Cao Dafang to reach the final. It can be regarded as a breakthrough in this competition. However, in the other semi-final, there was an upset. Ma Xiaofei was defeated by Qian Yuping, which made Li Xiaoqiang lose a chance to take revenge. This made Li Xiaoqiang qualify for the "Asian Cup" for the first time, and at the same time, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Li Xiaoqiang and Zhao Dabao are counting the rest of the year with their fingers here. Since the two almost divided the domestic title, then the two basically have no chance to meet in various qualifiers. The two of them will basically not participate in the national individual competition. The remaining "celebrity battle", "national hand battle", and "chess king battle" Even if the two can still meet in the finals, it will not be until after October at the earliest.

"Alas, in this way, if I want to seek revenge on him, I will have to wait at least more than 100 days?"

"No, you've got one more game missing."

"Oh? Which competition? ”

"Fujitsu Cup. You forgot about the Fujitsu Cup. Zhao Dabao said word by word: "If you can win Xiaolin next month, then in August, you are likely to meet Ma Xiao again in the finals." ”

"Oh......"

Li Xiaoqiang then remembered that it was already the end of June, and it was not far from the semifinals of the "Fujitsu Cup" in early July. (To be continued.) )
