After reading the first draft of "Chess Soul" and writing a reply to Yukari Umezawa, Li Xiaoqiang did not immediately take the matter of "Chess Soul" to heart. Now the "chess soul" has only begun to be created, and it is still too early to get the real finished product. And although the changed script is more reasonable in Li Xiaoqiang's opinion, can it be a classic? In fact, Li Xiaoqiang has no bottom.

You know, a lot of the scriptures are unexplainable. Especially in film and television works, you seem to have a fuller plot and a more reasonable narrative, but it is not very popular. This is also happening. Therefore, when Li Xiaoqiang replied to Yukari Umezawa, except for occasionally feeling that the two seemed to have not seen each other for a long time, he would not worry about this matter.

What Li Xiaoqiang is worried about now is still the game between himself and Ma Xiaofei.

"Ma Li Juban" has now played 4 sets, and the two sides are temporarily tied at 2-2. In fact, not only the score, but even from the content of the chess game, the two sides seem to be evenly matched, and they can't tell the difference at all

It is precisely because the two sides are fighting inseparably that the outside world is paying more and more attention to the following games. Everyone wants to know what the final result of this contest between the two will be.

In fact, not only the outside world, but even the two players themselves should have done their best in this competition. Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know Ma Xiaofei's situation very well, but Li Xiaoqiang still has a clear understanding of his situation, and in the first 4 games, he can be said to have done his best. Li Xiaoqiang even believes that the four games of chess that have just ended, from the content of the chess game and his own play, can fully represent his current highest level. At this stage, it is almost impossible for me to play higher quality chess.

But with such a self, he still can't take advantage of Ma Xiaofei!

Of course, this is not Li Xiaoqiang looking down on Ma Xiaofei and thinking that he will definitely win him or something. It's just that Li Xiaoqiang is different from others, and as a reborn, he has an extra reference in his heart.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang knows that the current Ma Xiaofei. He is or has reached the peak of his career. Li Xiaoqiang came to this conclusion, this is not only from the "historical experience" of his previous life, he can obviously feel from the last few games: the current Ma Xiaofei is indeed different from the past, and it is very difficult for Ma Xiaofei to win a game of chess against him.

Of course, this is just a feeling of Li Xiaoqiang. At the same time, it's hard to describe. How so? For example, if Li Xiaoqiang is now playing against Liu Dazhui or Cao Dafang and others. In the case of normal performance of both sides, as long as he does not make obvious mistakes, then Li Xiaoqiang thinks that if he only has a few inconspicuous "slowdowns". Then I still have a relatively large certainty of winning.

Why is this happening? One is that these first-class chess players themselves have "slowdowns", and in many cases even more than themselves. Second, they may not be able to grasp their own "slowness".

But playing chess with Ma Xiaofei is not good! This may also be the difference between "first-class" and "super-first-class". Playing chess with the current Ma Xiaofei, if you appear one step "slowly", it may be fine, and if there are two "slow", then this chess is very difficult to play. If there are three moves to "slow", then there is basically no hope of winning the game.

This is actually the case in the two games you lost in the previous game. He is just a very inconspicuous "slow" in one or two steps, and he can be keenly grasped by Ma Xiaofei, and at the same time, he has very few flaws. Make it difficult for yourself to catch his weaknesses. Therefore, although the gap between the two games is not large, I have never found a chance to turn over.

In this way, playing chess with such an opponent can be particularly tiring.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang believes that there is no need to be presumptuous. Because he won Ma Xiaofei's two games of chess, it was almost the same situation. Ma Xiaofei's chess style is light and elegant, and there is usually no "big move" in the whole game, but all kinds of small tricks are elusive. Win his two games of chess. also caught a few of his small flaws, and then chased and beat him all the way, so that he couldn't turn over. So look at it all the time. He and Ma Xiaofei can only be evenly divided.

But is it enough to just be on par with Ma Xiaofei, to this extent? If this is replaced by someone else, there may be no other ideas. However, Li Xiaoqiang is a reborn, and the benchmark in his heart is like a heavy shackle in his heart.

Ma Xiaofei at the peak, he is still not Li Shifo's opponent at the peak!

"Two years, only two years at most. If my level had only stayed the same, I would probably not be his opponent in two years. If I want to keep up with him, then I have to grow at least half an eye. If I want to surpass him in all aspects, then I have to improve at least one goal. But...... How can I continue to improve now? Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what else to use to continue to improve. In fact, at his level, no one should know how to continue to improve. Li Xiaoqiang, who has this kind of thought, has the only effect of making him dare not slack off.

"There are still 6 sets left in the match with Ma Xiaofei, so let's continue to compete with him. Maybe for the two of us, this kind of hard fighting, this kind of grinding with each other, is the best way to improve......"

Li Xiaoqiang has such an attitude, and he continues to devote himself to the competition with Ma Xiaofei with great enthusiasm.

At the beginning of November 1994, the first three sets of the "National Hand War" were held. It was another hard tug-of-war, and after the two sides won another game, the Chinese Go "National Hand Battle" ushered in a decisive game.

One day in mid-November, the Chinese Chess Academy. In the decisive game of the Chinese Go "National Hand Battle", Li Xiaoqiang finally had the last laugh. Through almost 7 hours of fierce fighting. Li Xiaoqiang defeated Ma Xiaofei and defended the title of "National Player". At the same time, the "National Hand War" was achieved for 3 consecutive hegemony. It can be regarded as a staged victory of "Ma Li Shiban".

At the moment of the finale, Li Xiaoqiang showed a knowing smile, while Ma Xiaofei was silent.

"Congratulations to Li Guoshou ......"

On the evening after the game, reporter Zhang Da found Li Xiaoqiang. He first congratulated Li Xiaoqiang with a very exaggerated scream, and then told Li Xiaoqiang a piece of news:

"Xiaoqiang, you know, it's not over that you take this "national player", the organizer is in contact with the South Korean side, preparing to hold a "China-South Korea hand competition". ”

"Oh?"

Li Xiaoqiang hadn't reacted when he first heard it, this was another game that had not appeared in his previous life. But when you think about it, I don't think it's surprising. Now there are "Sino-Japanese celebrity matches" and "China-Japan Tianyuan matches" between China and Japan. According to the current pattern of the world chess scene, if China and South Korea have the idea of holding a bilateral confrontation match, this is naturally normal.

South Korea's "national hand war" should be regarded as the oldest chess battle in their country. And to challenge the record of the longest consecutive hegemony in the chess war, it should be born in South Korea's "national hand battle", Cao Yanzi once dominated 16 consecutive games. This is much longer than Ma Xiaofei's 13 consecutive hegemony in China's "Celebrity Battle" in real history, and the 10 consecutive hegemony of Japan's Zhao Zhixun's "Ben Yin Fang Battle".

"South Korea's current incumbent national player should be Li Shifo, right? When is the tournament scheduled? ”

Reporter Zhang Da stared at Li Xiaoqiang's eyes, and he suddenly smiled:

"Look at your monkey urgency, you seem to be desperate to fight him? Don't worry, it's still only in contact, and the intention hasn't even been decided, let alone the game time. ”

"Oh?"

"Don't think about the competition yet, let's prepare for the next "celebrity fight". By the way, Xiaoqiang held the "national hand war", and now he is in a more relaxed mood. You should be a little more sure about winning the "celebrity", right? ”

"I hope so, at least I think it's better to call me "Li Mingming" than to call me "Li Guoshou". ”

"Haha, you guy......" Reporter Zhang nodded his finger, "Then I wish you good luck......

In fact, Li Xiaoqiang's luck in the "Celebrity War" seems to be really inferior to Ma Xiaofei.

In late November, Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei moved to Hangzhou. In his hometown, Ma Xiaofei played well, he defeated Li Xiaoqiang in straight sets, and once again defended the title of "celebrity" with a score of 3-1.

The "Ma Li Shiban", which lasted for nearly 2 months, finally came to an end. The final result is that "Li Guoshou" is still "Li Guoshou", and "Ma Mingming" is still the "Ma Ming". Neither side can help the other.

However, judging from the total score, Li Xiaoqiang still has to be a little behind.

Of course, it's not yet time to make a generalization, or even a summary between the two sides. Because after the "celebrity battle" ended, the two immediately switched to the international arena.

The time has come for the 6th "Toyo Securities Cup" Quarterfinals. (To be continued......)
