There is a rest day after 6 games. In fact, at this time, for the Chinese Go team. The task of the game and the "confrontation" has been accomplished. The most important ring match has won two consecutive victories, not to mention Li Xiaoqiang's record, and the results of the other team members are also very good. Especially Qian Yuping, who won 6 consecutive victories, "invited" Zhao Zhixun as he wished.

In fact, at this time, the intermediate power of Chinese Go has grown. China's "Five Tigers" may be a little worse than the "Six Supers" and Nie Whirlwind. Compared with other Japanese first-class masters, it is only half a catty to eight taels. It's just that the Japanese side certainly doesn't think so. China, too, lacks a little bit of self-confidence. I have always regarded Japanese Go as a goal to learn and catch up. Psychologically, I am not ready to completely confront Japanese Go.

In this era, information is not smooth enough, and the number of games played by Chinese chess players is also small. I don't have a lot of experience in the game, so I generally lack a little confidence in my level. In addition to the strange Nie Whirlwind, it is good to say that he is very arrogant, or that he has a big heart. In short, he is a very confident person. As a result, his results brought many surprises to the Chinese people.

In this match, the Japanese side still looks at people with old eyes, and most of the players sent in the match are between first-class and second-rate. And China's "Five Tiger Generals" have basically gone through the baptism of two ring matches. If you come back to a less stressful competition like the competition, it is natural to get a better result.

There was a relaxed and joyful atmosphere in the Chinese team's residence. Although there are still two trilogy to play. However, in the eyes of the Chinese team, the next two trilogy chess are the real "exchange games". No one thinks that the current Qian Yuping can win Zhao Zhixun, in this year, the "six supers" are basically a myth. Even Qian Yuping himself has repeatedly said that he cherishes the opportunity to learn from "Mr. Zhao". In the game between Li Xiaoqiang and Dazhu Hero, no one cares about the outcome of the game. After all, this chess is more of a "guide" nature, not.

But everyone was still elated. For what? Mainly because of the Otake heroes. In addition to the well-known "man with a whip", there is another less well-known one: Otake has never played in the "confrontation match".

If it were to be a match like this, the Chinese side would of course ask the Japanese side to send super-first-class players to play. Japan also generally "gives face", and other super-top players have played in previous matches. Only Dazhu, I don't know what the reason is, he just hasn't shown up.

What does Otake Hero say about him? A bad guy is definitely not a bad guy, in fact, Dazhu is an old child. The chess and character are quite good. It's just a little bit simple, a little emotional, a little stubborn. This was the basic understanding of Chinese chess players about Dazhu at that time. Of course, these things will not affect everyone's respect for Otake Heroes.

Li Xiaoqiang also has a different view of Dazhu. Li Xiaoqiang was a human being, and he could look at problems "from a historical perspective". He has always believed that people like Hero Otake are sinners of "Japanese Go".

The reasons for the decline of Go in Japan in later generations are of course complex. You can find a few of them casually, and you can also look at the problem from various angles. However, it is obvious to everyone that the competitive performance of Japanese Go has plummeted. It's hard to say anything else. However, the competitive results are not good, and as a professional chess player of the Japanese Chess Academy, of course, the main responsibility is borne.

Some people say that this is about Dazhu, who has a good level, and later won a world championship. The poor results of later generations are the business of junior chess players, and if you want to blame them, you will blame them for their lack of courage. If they have to be responsible, at most they will be responsible for a little bit of "training, education" of junior chess players. By the way, herein lies the problem.

As we all know, in this era, it can be said that it is the "most prosperous age" of Japanese Go, and since it is a "prosperous age", there will always be some "conservative power". And Otake Hero can basically be regarded as the general representative of the "stubborn power" of Japanese Go.

Otake Hero's Go talent is high, his results are good, and his status in the Japanese chess world is very high and influential. However, Otake is certainly not a good teacher, and in fact Otake is much worse than his own teacher, Minoru Kitani, in this regard. Not to mention that compared with Mr. Minoru Mutani, it is much worse than Mr. Lin Haifeng, who is also famous with him and is known as the "Bamboo Forest". Mr. Lin has at least cultivated a Zhang Xu, and it is reasonable to say that he is so-so. None of Dazhu's disciples can handle it.

If you can't train a good apprentice, there's actually nothing. It's just that Otake is still a big mouth, and he likes to impose his own views on others, so he doesn't want to think about his influence in the Japanese chess world and even the world chess world at that time.

There is nothing wrong with a Go master sticking to his own view of Go. In fact, if you want to become a Go master, you always have a little bit of your own experience. Dazhu doesn't care so much, he firmly believes that his set is the truth, and when he sees a chess that doesn't suit his heart, he doesn't ask questions and starts to criticize harshly.

I don't know which tournament Lu Dao is, and a Chinese chess player is behind in the game. If you're falling behind, you'll definitely have to find a way. So it is normal to make a few moves to "win and lose", and generally speaking, the shape of the "winner and loser" is certainly not so beautiful. This is actually a very normal thing, but Otake is different, and after the game, he severely criticized the Chinese chess player:

"This kind of chess is ugly for 10,000 years."

"You won't be able to make a move like this!"

Chinese chess players are treated like this, and it is conceivable that the treatment of Japanese junior chess players will only be more severe. But Otake's words are very influential, except for one or two Fujisawa Hideyuki, who occasionally refutes him with a sentence or two. Even if other players have different opinions, they will not quarrel with Otake. Therefore, Otake's thought and Otake's view of Go basically represent the "orthodoxy" of Japanese Go.

This view of "it can only be like this, not like that" has victims not only in the Japanese chess world, but also in the Chinese chess world, and the Chinese chess player Liu Dazhui is a very typical example. Liu Dazhui is currently ranked 3rd or 4th in China, and his chess style is fierce and his strength is very large. In '86, it might have been said to be a little worse than Niema. In 87 and 88, in fact, he and Ma Xiaofei began to compete for the second place in China. Although he didn't win, he was actually very promising. In those years, he won the domestic "Tianyuan" and "celebrities" in a row, which is evidence.

However, the outside world did not have a high opinion of him at that time. thinks that he is a wild man, and if he doesn't learn a little "authentic mental method", he won't be productive, and he won't be able to achieve anything.

Liu Dazhui himself hesitated, and felt that his chess seemed to be a bit "old-fashioned", and he always wanted to play a little "realm" chess in the game. Later, even he admitted that for a while, he thought that his path was wrong, and he consciously wanted to change. Well, according to his own thoughts at the time, it is definitely not that "change and change" should be to overcome the "weakness" of his fighting power. So he said that for a while, he always felt awkward playing chess.

Think about it, is this possible in the afterlife? When you meet an ancient Dali, it's too late for the baby.

There is also an example of "successful transformation" in the Japanese chess world. Masao Kato, one of the six supers. Masao Kato, known as the "Heavenly Killer" period, was once Japan's five-crown champion. Later, he finally "successfully transformed" and became "Kanko Kato" and "Hanmu Kato". In the Japanese chess world, there was a sound of praise and congratulations. I think that Kato has finally taken off the earthy smell on his body and finally become a master. But what about the results? After the transformation, Kato has won the "throne" a few times. The one with the fewest prize money among the seven major Japanese title fights.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang believes that the "stubborn force" represented by Otake is a very important reason for hindering the progress of Japanese Go.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has no right or obligation to make irresponsible remarks about Dazhu. But don't forget, our classmate Li Xiaoqiang is also "the representative of ancient Chinese chess". Of course, the ancient Chinese chess is also the target of Dazhu's "attack".

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang does not have the ability to change the mainstream view of the chess world, but Li Xiaoqiang thinks that he can still do something. It's okay that he didn't have a chance, but now that he has the opportunity to play chess with Dazhu, Li Xiaoqiang feels that he should think of something to do.

The competition is basically over. Japan will also have two "big shots" in the field. Therefore, the "pomp" of the later games is even greater. As with many of the world's leading competitions in later generations, the organizers will arrange a ceremony. Ask the players to post some "pre-match thoughts" or something.

The night before the game. The Chinese Go team is going to attend a banquet, and according to the convention, Li Xiaoqiang usually has to "say a few words" at this time.

"What can I do?"

Li Xiaoqiang walked on the way to the venue.
