Due to the gradual decline of Japanese Go, Li Xiaoqiang is now going to Japan less and less. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the early years, there were many kinds of exchanges between China and Japan, such as the China-Japan Go Tournament, the China-Japan Go Competition, the Title Owner Competition, the China-Japan Youth Go Exchange Competition, the China-Japan City Exchange Competition, etc., and so on. But now, a lot of the games have disappeared.

The "Sino-Japanese Go Tournament", which has a huge impact and has special significance for Chinese Go, has been suspended for several years. The earliest exchange match between China and Japan was once the highest level of "Sino-Japanese Go Competition" between the two countries, although the name still exists, but the level of the game has long been downgraded. The tournament has now become a stage for young chess players to communicate.

The "Sino-Japanese Go Celebrity Match" has been discontinued after 5 or 6 sessions because Kobayashi Koji hung up a free card that year. The "Sino-Japanese Go Tian Yuan Confrontation Tournament" has lasted for a few more sessions, but because Li Xiaoqiang has been too strong in recent years, it is difficult for the Japanese "Tian Yuan" to win 1 game, not to mention winning 1 game. The disparity in scores also made the game unappealing. Not long ago, there were rumors in Japan that this competition will probably be suspended after this year.

Correspondingly, there are more and more exchanges and competitions between China and South Korea. Such a phenomenon actually means that Japanese Go is losing its position as the "World Go Center" that they once advertised.

The opportunity for competition exchange has decreased, and the number of times Li Xiaoqiang has gone to Japan has naturally decreased. In the early years, Li Xiaoqiang went to Japan about 10 times a year. And now, even if Li Xiaoqiang is the world's No. 1 and one of the most active chess players in the world, it is difficult to go to Japan 10 times a year.

Among them, the annual "Fujitsu Cup" is the most important opportunity, and it is no wonder that Lin Mengyu will make fun of Li Xiaoqiang for "playing the Fujitsu Cup".

Regarding the matter between Li Xiaoqiang and Yukari Umezawa, it is impossible for Lin Mengyu not to know. Such a thing does not need to be admitted by Li Xiaoqiang himself, and Lin Mengyu does not need to confirm it. She grew up with Li Xiaoqiang since she was a child, and she is too familiar with Li Xiaoqiang, and Li Xiaoqiang is a person who is not good at cheating, so as long as she usually talks and behaves, Lin Mengyu roughly knows how far the relationship between the two has progressed. Indeed, the little between men and women, if you want to hide it from other people, it may be okay, but it is basically impossible to hide it from the closest people around you.

The reason why Lin Mengyu didn't make trouble was first because she and Li Xiaoqiang had an emotional foundation, so she listened to Zhao Dabao's persuasion. What's more important is that she now has an "ostrich mentality": Anyway, Li Xiaoqiang and Umezawa Yukari can't see each other a few times a year, and it is impossible for Umezawa Yukari to come to China, so it's just... Out of sight, out of mind.

As for Li Xiaoqiang, he said that Lin Mengyu is an ostrich mentality, but Li Xiaoqiang himself is not an ostrich mentality. He didn't know what to do when he encountered this kind of thing, it was impossible to tell him to give up Lin Mengyu, and he was asked to give up Yukari Umezawa... That's a bit reluctant. Therefore, it can only be dragged in such an unclear way, and a balance is maintained without embarrassment or embarrassment.

Anyway, this kind of day has been going on for a while, and it is usually peaceful. But in terms of feelings, it is impossible for you to ask a girl not to be petty and jealous. Therefore, taking Umezawa Yukari to stab Li Xiaoqiang, Lin Mengyu usually does this kind of thing.

But today's situation seems to be a little different, at least that's how Li Xiaoqiang feels. Lin Mengyu usually talks about Yukari Umezawa, and it usually stops, and it is rare to react as violently as today.

"What is this stimulus...

Just when Li Xiaoqiang was secretly speculating, Lin Mengyu's next sentence lit up:

"I heard that our Li Datiancai is ready to accept inner disciples?"

"Hehe, although we don't have such a thing as an inner disciple, that's roughly what it means."

"That doesn't seem good, don't you think you owe anything to the shortcomings?"

"What's missing?"

"Of course, there is a lack of the first beauty in the Go world, you think, the first master in the Go world will marry the first beauty in the Go world first, and then open a Li Xiaoqiang dojo, isn't that enough to pull the wind."

Li Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded, it was the "inner disciple" who stimulated Lin Mengyu for a long time. Although there is no relationship between accepting apprentices and marrying someone as a wife, there is no logical connection between the two, but can women be logical? Lin Mengyu has to connect the two, so Li Xiaoqiang has no choice.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that he couldn't defend himself at this time, although he was extremely clumsy in terms of feelings, he still knew the basic principle of "not talking to women about logic".

Li Xiaoqiang stood there stunned for a long time and held back a sentence:

"Why don't we get married?"

It should be said that Li Xiaoqiang was still a little proud when he first mentioned marriage, and he thought he was relatively understanding. Li Xiaoqiang is not yet 24 years old. How so? Although this age has passed the legal age of marriage, Li Xiaoqiang definitely did not think of getting married so early.

Of course, this is not Li Xiaoqiang's love of fun, but the social atmosphere of this era is like this. The state is vigorously advocating late marriage and late childbearing, and "only country people and unproductive people get married so early" is very marketable in this era.

However, Li Xiaoqiang thought that he was still young, but Lin Mengyu's age was not too young, although Lin Mengyu was not as old as Yukari Umezawa, he was still 1 year older than Li Xiaoqiang. For a girl's family, of course, getting married at the age of 25 is not too early.

This is the first time Li Xiaoqiang mentioned marriage in front of Lin Mengyu, but what Li Xiaoqiang didn't expect was that in what a sentence, Lin Mengyu had all kinds of wonderful expressions on her face, she was stunned at first, then flashed a hint of surprise, and then turned into a shy, and finally turned into a stomp:

"Oh, what are you talking nonsense, it seems like I'm forcing you to marry...

In this way, Lin Mengyu was defeated. After Lin Mengyu was defeated and retreated, Li Xiaoqiang remained in place and looked ignorant.

I asked you if you would get married, but you replied, do you want to get married, do you want to get married, do you want to get married, do you agree or not, or do you agree? What's the matter with someone like you leaving in a hurry?

"Those who play Go really don't understand romance." Li Xiaoqiang can only comfort himself like this.

Because the matter caused by the "inner disciple" has calmed down for the time being, new topics will soon appear in the world chess world.

After the "Fujitsu Cup" Round of 8, the most important tournaments in the international chess world in the next period of time are the "Samsung Cup" and "LG Cup", two world series qualifiers.

Last year, the "initial storm" that blew in these two qualifiers caused heated discussions. By this year, the storm had become strong and violent.

One of the interesting things is that the new players who were selected for the "international column" and qualified to play against Li Xiaoqiang performed particularly well. In particular, the players who have already played against Li Xiaoqiang have performed better in these two qualifiers.

South Korea's Lee Seok and China's "Brother Niu" passed two qualifiers at the same time, while Park Yongxun and Hu Yaoyu also passed one qualifier each. In addition, Gu Dali, Kong Erjie, Cui Poison, Zhang Xu and others also passed a preliminary selection.

Overall, the selected ones performed better than the new ones who were not selected. And those who have already fought with Li Xiaoqiang are better than the newcomers who have not yet fought with Li Xiaoqiang.

"It was Li Xiaoqiang who gave birth to the growth of this group of young chess players." This is the case in the international chess world.

Is this argument credible? At least after passing the two qualifiers, Li Shishi's words are very representative:

"Yes, I was able to pass two qualifiers this time, and I think the game against Li Xiaoqiang had a big impact on me. For a long time after that game of chess, I often couldn't sleep at night. Because as soon as I close my eyes, Li Xiaoqiang's step of "staying together", and the next step of "vulgar hand" will appear in my mind... ”

It must be admitted that Li Shishi's words made Li Xiaoqiang have more face. This not only continues to deepen the impression of many people that "Li Xiaoqiang is unfathomable", but also makes everyone look forward to the next games.

As the youngsters were busy participating in two qualifiers, the Li Xiaoqiang vs International Strongest Talent Rivalry was suspended for a month. At the end of June, the competition was finally back in action. The opponent is Mr. Lin Haifeng, who has long been coordinated, and the fifth match will be played by Zhang Xu, and the venue of the match will still be in Shencheng, China.

"Mengyu, you don't have anything to do now anyway, will you accompany me to Shencheng this time?"

"What am I going to do?"

"Let's go, let's go..." Li Xiaoqiang smiled at Lin Mengyu and said: ... Don't forget that this competition is hosted by your company, and Shencheng is also the headquarters of your company, as an employee of the company, you should also run to the company's headquarters more. ”

After arriving in Shencheng, Li Xiaoqiang almost regretted his intestines.

This time, people from Japan came in addition to Zhang Xu and his master Mr. Lin Haifeng. Li Xiaoqiang even saw Yukari Umezawa. And even more than that, they were accompanied by a large team of photographers.

"I didn't know she was going to come this time... Li Xiaoqiang first stammered and explained to Lin Mengyu. Maybe it was the "get married" not long ago that worked, but Lin Mengyu didn't overreact, and glared at Li Xiaoqiang and forgot it.

Then Li Xiaoqiang asked reporter Zhang Da:

"What's going on? I haven't seen such a big formation in the first few games. You're really, you didn't know to notify me in advance of such a big move. ”

Reporter Zhang Da said with a smile: "This is not something we made, and they are not specially here to shoot this game." ”

"And what are they doing here?"

Reporter Zhang Da showed a look of surprise:

"Don't you even know it yourself? I also just learned that they are here to make a documentary about you. ”

"Huh!?" (To be continued.) )
