After a draw ceremony that made Li Xiaoqiang feel a little uncomfortable, the first round of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup" World Professional Go Championship officially began.

Since there was no game in the first round, Li Xiaoqiang, who got up early in the morning, looked leisurely. He didn't even want to move at first. In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang actually came to Seoul a lot of times due to his work, and he was still familiar with this city. Therefore, at this time, Li Xiaoqiang was not in the mood to "go outside". In fact, he doesn't seem to have much to do in the city.

In this way, Li Xiaoqiang really seems to have nowhere to go. Helpless, Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to drag Zhang Da reporter and pretend to wander around the arena.

Although the Toyo Securities Cup is claimed to be the third edition, it is actually a newly created world competition. Therefore, the South Korean side still attaches great importance to it. The organizers also have good reception specifications in all aspects. The venue for the event will be the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, South Korea. In today's era, the conditions are not bad in all aspects. The hotel where the Chinese delegation stayed was actually the same place as the stadium.

In the first round of the game, the most eye-catching should be the game of Ma Xiaofei vs Masaki Takemiya. Because this game of chess is a bit of a "chess opponent", and the other 7 games of chess, the strength and weakness are still a bit clear. In the early World Championships held in the Korean Go world, the time of the game was still 3 hours of slow chess per side according to the rules of most other international competitions. Unlike later, the competition was held more and more, but the time was less and less.

Therefore, in a slow chess game like this, as a spectator, it is really boring to watch the morning game. After Li Xiaoqiang came to the arena, he just walked around the hall casually, and then came to the viewing room next to the competition hall.

In this viewing room located in the hotel, this is the first time that a World Championship has been held in the Korean Go world. In addition, in the past few years, the popularity of Korean Go has also continued to heat up. As a result, there are already a lot of journalists and chess players from South Korea. The whole viewing room was already lively. When Li Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhidong appeared in this place, although this was the first time Li Xiaoqiang came to South Korea, the people in the Korean Go community seemed to be very familiar with Li Xiaoqiang, and walked all the way, Li Xiaoqiang attracted a lot of curious eyes.

"I can't see it, Xiaoqiang, it seems that your reputation in South Korea is still quite big, looking at their posture, it seems that everyone is very curious about you."

"Hehe, that's because they have a freak in the country. So far, the only one who can compare to that freak, and seem to be holding him down, seems to be me. So it's not surprising that they're a little curious. ”

"Hahaha...... You are not modest at all, but the current situation of Korean Go in recent years is really a bit strange. Hearing you say this, Li Shifo seems to be really a freak. Xiaoqiang, let me ask you, is Li Shifo really that powerful? Or can he only bully his master. ”

"He'......"

After hearing reporter Zhang Da's question. At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but recall the "benchmark" in his mind again. And in light of the situation in this life, start to compare again in your mind.

In fact, 2 years ago, Li Shifo won the championship in their domestic competition. He was even earlier than Li Xiaoqiang won the Chinese "celebrity battle". In this way, he was touted by the Korean Go community as "the world's youngest professional Go champion". Of course. Since Li Xiaoqiang's age was about the same as him when he won the championship, there seems to be nothing to be proud of in the Korean Go world at this point.

But if you really want to compare carefully, you can still see a lot of differences between the two. Up to now. What Li Xiaoqiang has brought to the world chess scene seems to be a string of "miracles", and he is always between ups and downs. In the case that everyone thinks is impossible, bring "surprises" to everyone. Putting aside these "surprises", Li Xiaoqiang is generally a normal person.

As for Li Shifo, he can be described as a "record maker", if you look at it purely from the perspective of "professional Go", Li Shifo's performance is much stronger. In his third year of entering the professional threshold, he has won the number of wins, most wins, streaks, and most games by one person, and since 89 years, the entire Korean Go world has begun to loosen and smoke. By the time of this year, if you don't look at the Chinese and Japanese Go circles, and only observe the Korean professional Go, Li Shifo has suppressed his master Cao Yanzi very badly, and the original second Xu Fengzhu has already worshiped Li Shifo as an idol. I can't afford to resist at all. At present, Li Shifo has become the de facto "first person in China" in the Korean Go world. ”

And at this point, Li Xiaoqiang actually didn't do it. For example, in China's domestic chess world, the current Li Xiaoqiang can only be regarded as a "prince" at most. His record in China is at most similar to that of Nie and Ma. Therefore, he did not show the dominance of Li Shifo.

Let's talk about the characteristics of their respective chess styles, so far, Li Xiaoqiang's name as "chessboard wizard" is very loud. But his biggest characteristic is actually in this place. Some of his ideas and methods are shocking. But it didn't subvert everyone's common sense. Because in most cases, Li Xiaoqiang's thinking is still traceable. Although his chess is flexible, his ideas definitely stand up to scrutiny. Therefore, when everyone studies his chess games, especially those who study his victories, everyone at most just sighs: "How did he think of this place at that time......

And what about Li Shifo? Li Shifo is different. I remember that in my previous life, in the mid-to-early 90s, a senior Go reporter in South Korea described Li Shifo's style in this way.

“…… Li Shifo burned the concepts, consensus, and prejudices of the Go world to ashes. People have always believed that "Go is stronger if you understand life", and the calculation power of Go is obtained from countless lessons and lessons, and the mental power of victory and defeat must be honed from the bitter setbacks. But Li Shifo in the year of the weak crown, Li Shifo who has nothing to do, he ploughed a red line and turned over all kinds of confusion, temptation, ** and sighs in the 361 road of Go......"

“…… As a "mysterious art of the East", Go has been painted with glittering gold by countless literati and artists for 4,000 years. Because people have always believed that Go is a projection of life. As; The Yi Li of the interaction of yin and yang, the unparalleled qi of wind and clouds, the natural right of spring and autumn death, and the ups and downs of life are all contained in the ...... of Go"

“…… But the chubby Li Shifo was gnawing on chocolate on his mouth, and he came to the Korean Chess Academy with a slow step, and then saved himself a victory by playing a game. Professional chess players craned their necks and waited game by game: "It's time to lose this time, right?" ", but Li Shifo is still unhurried and planted terror all over ......"

“…… Soon, the chess world began to circulate that "Li Shifo is a master of the previous generation and is still alive". "A boy from the universe" and other bizarre theories. In particular, Li Shifo's computing power has become the biggest incredible. The calculation power of Go should be the ultimate sophistication in life, and Li Shifo is precisely subverting a preconceived ...... in calculation."

I have to say that the above description is very expressive. It not only speaks of the characteristics of Li Shifo in the early days, but also fully reflects the shock that Li Shifo brought to the Korean Go world.

In the final analysis, there is one reason, the current Li Shifo, his chess is still very mysterious, and not many people understand his way of winning chess!

In fact, since the beginning of this year, when Li Shifo, who is the same age as Li Xiaoqiang, began to sweep the Korean chess scene, the Chinese and Japanese Go circles watched this scene with incredible eyes. The analysis of the chess game is undoubtedly Cao Xunxuan's content, but the result of victory and defeat is to Li Shifo's side. Such a situation is confusing to many people.

But there is another interesting point: the current Li Shifo. Although he has already won the title of Go in South Korea, his external record is not outstanding. It can be said that when everyone compares Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo, this is the most unconfident place for Koreans at present.

Speaking of the World Series, Li Shifo actually appeared much earlier than Li Xiaoqiang. For example, at the 2nd Fujitsu Cup, his deposit zài confused many people. At the opening ceremony, the hostess looked at Li Shifo and felt very cute. She said,

"This year, a 14-year-old boy, no matter who he plays, please take good care of him."

The hostess's words caused a burst of laughter among those present. The delegation of the Republic of Korea was also smiling. But the Koreans snorted coldly in their hearts: "Now it's your turn to taste Li Shifo's power." ”

But to the pity of the Koreans, Li Shifolun was eliminated.

Last year, Li Xiaoqiang was still struggling in the domestic qualifiers, while Li Shifo appeared in Tokyo, Japan for the second time. This time, Li Shifo defeated Takemiya Masaki and became famous. But in the second round, he lost to Kobayashi Koji. You must know that this year, Li Shifo set a record of 41 consecutive wins in China, and he did not lose a game for more than half a year, adding the nickname of "undefeated boy".

to this year. Li Shifo has long won South Korea's "National Hand War" and "Throne War", replacing Cao Yanzi as the first person in South Korea. But when it came to international competitions, Li Shifo couldn't do it. This is where he is not as good as Li Xiaoqiang at present. Can't you see what he's so good at?

The most interesting thing is that the comparison between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo was originally not about Japanese Go. However, because Li Xiaoqiang's record against Japanese chess players is too strong, this also makes the evaluation of the Japanese Go community almost one-sided. For Li Xiaoqiang, the current Japanese Go is only praise, at least he doesn't dare to say unconvinced. As for Li Shifo, they don't seem to be able to look down on it at present.

Not long ago, Japan came up with an analysis that sounded like that: "Li Shifo may have only studied the method of winning Cao Yanzi." Cao Yanzi used to knock out opponents mostly in the middle game, so he didn't have the opportunity to hone his closing skills. Li Shifo has strong calculating powers, and his method is to lengthen the battle line and fight the winner in Cao Yanzi's weakest official. ”

At the same time, the Japanese Chess Academy also mentioned that Li Shifo and Yida Kiki played a special five-game chess. At this time, Yitian Jiji was 25 years old, the same age as Yoo Chang-hyuk, but Yitian Jiji had not yet won a decent title, compared to Li Shifo, who was already the first person in South Korea this year, so many people opposed holding a five-way chess with a gap in specifications. But the Korean Chess Academy felt that it was okay to win, and let it go.

The result was tragic, and Li Shifo lost 1-3. The Korean chess world was dumbfounded for a while, and they didn't know what to say.

At this time, the Japanese Go community was elated, and they gloated and threw down a sentence and said: "Li Shifo is indeed very strong, but he is still young." The reason for Cao Yanzi's loss to Li Shifo may be due to psychological burden......"

The matter is not over, it didn't take long for Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo to start a celebrity battle challenge chess, and Li Shifo sealed Cao Yanzi with a score of 3 to o. Around the same time, Li Shifo participated in the 4th Fujitsu Cup. As a result, everyone knows that he lost to China's Ma Xiaofei again......

Therefore, it can be said that so far, Li Shifo has created another kind of incredible, he is a dish in the international competition, but the world champion Cao Yanzi is a dish of Li Shifo, and Cao Yanzi is angry inside and out.

As long as Cao Yanzi went to Japan, a swarm of people came over and asked why? Cao Yanzi replied:

"Li Shifo is very strong, you still don't know Li Shifo's true strength......"

It must be admitted that Cao Yanzi should know best what Li Shifo relied on to knock him down repeatedly. If Li Shifo just researched a way to win Cao Yanzi, or if Li Changho only relied on officials to win Cao Yanzi, then Cao Yanzi would have had a way to make up for this loophole. Cao Yanzi is actually desperately studying Li Yanzi, but he can't do it, and the so-called "official" is just a bluffing illusion.

Li Xiaoqiang believes that this illusion has not only "deceived" the Korean chess world, but now it seems that it is also "deceiving" the world chess world.

Just when Li Xiaoqiang was thinking nonsense, Zhang Da reporter next to him stabbed Li Xiaoqiang, and he said to Li Xiaoqiang:

"Xiaoqiang, Cao Yanzi entered just now, he seems to be calling you......"

Li Xiaoqiang looked up and saw Cao Yanzi smiling and greeting him.

"What did he call me......

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang walked over to Cao Yanzi in confusion. (To be continued......)
