In the eyes of many people, playing Go is a very elegant thing. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info has some money, and it is undoubtedly a very face-saving thing to get a set of high-end chess equipment to show off the costume. And when it comes to chess equipment, especially the chessboard dedicated to playing Go, it is undoubtedly the best devil goods, which is basically recognized by everyone.

When Fujisawa Hideyuki is short of money to spend, he likes to pawn his collection of chess sets, and his main buyer is actually Cao Yanzi from South Korea. A chessboard shot in Japan is certainly not as expensive as a shot in Korea. Therefore, Lao Cao bought the chess set of the old god stick, in addition to helping the old god stick financially, he did not collect it himself, and basically changed hands.

"What? Li Sang also took a fancy to this chessboard? Didn't you hear you have a hobby in this area? ”

Now seeing Li Xiaoqiang grabbing a chessboard with himself, Lao Cao said to Li Xiaoqiang with a smile.

Li Xiaoqiang quietly looked at the chessboard in front of him and did not answer Lao Cao's words quickly. At this moment, many scenes of the past came to Li Xiaoqiang's heart.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang also likes high-end chess equipment, but he has no idea of using high-end chess equipment to pretend to be forced. Because it is not so easy to use advanced chess equipment to pretend to be forced, it needs the corresponding environment to match it.

Take the chessboard of the devil's goods as an example, the forced grid is mainly reflected in the word "thick". More than 2 inches is the basic requirement, 3,4 inches are so-so, only when it reaches more than 6 inches, it seems very high.

But the key problem is that if you want to play chess with a board that is more than 6 inches thick, then you have to set up your chess room in a Japanese style. Sitting on tatami mats, with a 6-inch plate, only in this way does it look like a style match. Can you imagine putting such a thick chessboard on the table according to our Chinese habits?

Li Xiaoqiang remembered that he had read a post on "Guide to Pretending to Be Forced to Go" in his previous life, and there was a sentence in it that was very in line with Li Xiaoqiang's taste: "If you are strong enough, then the recommended force is Erlang's legs and short-sleeved pants with a large front door, plastic chessboard glass chess pieces, but whoever is not convinced will cut whom." This is the highest level of Go pretending. ”

Since Li Xiaoqiang became famous, there have been countless people who persuaded him to change his name, and everyone thinks that his name... It's really not worthy of the elegant activity of Go. But this is the reason why Li Xiaoqiang has been unmoved. He even thinks that anyone who persuades him to change his name is basically Ye Gong's good dragon, they don't know the real Go, and they don't like Go fundamentally.

But the chessboard in front of him is different, and the chessboard in front of him does have something to do with Li Xiaoqiang. If Li Xiaoqiang remembers correctly, this chessboard with the signature of Xiuce's predecessors should be the chessboard that he first came to Japan and played two games of coaching chess with Otake Hero, and was finally won by the old god stick.

"Is there such a thing? . . ."

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's explanation, Cao Yanzi laughed, many years have passed since this incident, and at that time, China and South Korea had not established diplomatic relations, and there were relatively few exchanges between South Korea and the outside world, so Lao Cao didn't know before. Now that he knows that there is such a past, Cao Yanzi will certainly not fight with Li Xiaoqiang.

"Since this is the case, then I won't fight with Li Sang on this chessboard, not to mention that if Li Sang makes a move, I won't be able to win even if I want to. This is a chessboard used by Xiuce, and I don't know how much it's worth now... ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled, this chessboard can increase in value, and it has a lot to do with the "chess soul". In the plot design of "Chess Soul", didn't Fujiwara Sawei possess a chessboard at the beginning? And what is the relationship between Fujiwara Sawei and Xiuce? Merge the two of them into one in "Chess Soul".

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang jokingly thought that if this chessboard entered the auction market, then he really didn't know what sky-high price it could be auctioned now.

Lao Cao said that "if you can't win" Li Xiaoqiang, then he really didn't talk nonsense, even if Li Xiaoqiang didn't have a local tyrant uncle, with bonus income alone, Li Xiaoqiang would be much higher than Lao Cao now. A confrontation match with a cutting-edge chess player, a total of 5 million bonuses, Li Xiaoqiang alone took more than 4 million. In addition, Li Xiaoqiang has won this year's "Fujitsu Cup" championship, "Qiuju Cup" and "Samsung Cup" have entered the finals, and "LG Cup" has entered the top 4...

Even if Li Xiaoqiang loses all the chess games later, no one can surpass Li Xiaoqiang in the international arena. If you count Li Xiaoqiang, there are still many titles in China. So this year, Li Xiaoqiang is not only the actual first person in the world chess world, but his bonus income is definitely the highest among all professional chess players.

This time I came to Japan, and I bought a chessboard first without doing anything else, which Li Xiaoqiang didn't expect before, and it was not a surprise.

"Yukari, it's troublesome to consign such a chessboard, so let's just put you there first."

Li Xiaoqiang said to Yukari Umezawa with a smile.

"Hey."

After dealing with the chessboard, he will start to get down to business, and this time Li Xiaoqiang must stay in Japan for several days. Because the retirement match of the old god stick is 3 games at once, although this kind of chess is more casual, it is impossible to finish it in one day.

And I don't know what the old god stick thinks, according to his own arrangement, the first game of chess he played with Takao Shen Road, each side was limited to one hour, and it took half a day to finish. After playing, he played with Cao Yanzi, and the arrangement with Cao Yanzi was even more unique, and the old god stick may have remembered the situation with Cao Yanzi many years ago, and he even suggested a game of 10 seconds and one step with Lao Cao.

The first two games were played in one day, and after the game, there was a day off, and on the third day, I played a three-hour slow game with Li Xiaoqiang.

For the proposal of the old god stick, anyway, he is the protagonist of this retirement ceremony, so naturally no one opposes it, he can do whatever he likes, and everyone will fully cooperate.

"We are all supporting roles, and Mr. just wants to really play a game of chess with you."

After listening to the arrangement of the old god, Lao Cao joked with Li Xiaoqiang like this. Li Xiaoqiang smiled and did not speak. Seeing that the old god stick was so solemn, Li Xiaoqiang was also determined to fully cooperate.

Li Xiaoqiang's so-called "full cooperation" certainly does not mean releasing water, because according to the tradition of the Go world, if you want to repay your master, the best way is to defeat your master.

Although Li Xiaoqiang and Fujisawa Hideyuki do not have the name of master and apprentice, they have the relationship of master and apprentice, the friendship between master and apprentice, and they go all out when playing chess, which is the greatest respect for the old man.

On the 4th day after Li Xiaoqiang arrived in Japan, the finale of the Xiuyuki retirement ceremony was played, by Fujisawa Hideyuki vs Li Xiaoqiang. In fact, with Li Xiaoqiang's "full cooperation", this game of chess did not last long, and before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Xiuxing stopped falling.

Seeing the old gentleman's eyes slightly closed and a lonely expression, Li Xiaoqiang secretly regretted in his heart, he felt that he was a little too ruthless.

"Li Sang, can you tell me what the future of Go will look like?"

Just when Li Xiaoqiang secretly regretted it, the old god stick spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he scared Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiangxin said that of course I know what the future of Go will look like, although I don't know it for a long time, and I know it for more than ten or twenty years, but after all, this is also the "future Go", isn't it? You're not that godly, are you? Although you are known as a magic stick, you shouldn't be able to see that I am a traverser, right?

"This, this..." Just when Li Xiaoqiang didn't know how to answer, the old god stick himself spoke, and he pointed to a move made in front of Li Xiaoqiang:

"Is it like this move?"

Li Xiaoqiang's heart was relieved. The most feared answer is the kind of mysterious question, such as "What is Go?" "What will Go look like in the future?" But if it is converted into a specific question, then it can be used in two sentences. And Li Xiaoqiang was happy after seeing the move pointed out by Mr. Xiuxing. He knew very well in his heart that this move was very unsuitable for the taste of the old god stick, and in the old god stick's concept of Go, such a move could not be played.

But Li Xiaoqiang's move is not without a source, this move comes from Mr. Wu Qingyuan's research in his later years, Mr. Wu strongly recommends that it should be played like this, Li Xiaoqiang has seen Mr. Wu's recommendation, and he combined his own understanding, so he played this move today.

"Yes sir, in the future of Go, I think there will be a lot of this kind of chess."

"Can you tell me the reason for playing this move, or what the reason for playing this move is?"

Li Xiaoqiang smiled, he knew that with an old-timer like Mr. Xiuxing, you can't rely on your high level, just say "I want to do this", you have to come up with something real to convince him.

First of all, let's sort out the chess shapes that appeared today, and the chess shapes played today are very simple and very common.

In order to show respect for the old god stick, Li Xiaoqiang took the initiative to hold black in this game of chess, in a part, in the face of white chess "opinions hang high and small", Li Xiaoqiang chose "two high clamps", which is one of the three complex formulas in the game of Go "Muramasa Demon Knife" The starting style, Li Xiaoqiang was ready to practice the "demon knife style" with the old god stick in this part.

It's a pity that the old god stick has no interest in practicing complex formulas, and he chose the most concise response at that time.

"Single level jump."

White played two "single jumps" in a row, intending to avoid black's edge in this locality. It was at this time that Li Xiaoqiang's controversial move appeared.

At this time, he went to take a step of "three-way support", so in this part, it seems to be reduced to a "support retreat formula".

It should be said that Li Xiaoqiang's method is very normal to be looked down upon by the old god stick. Because there are two flaws in this method.

After choosing to play like this, first of all, the position of the chess piece in front of the "two high clamps" is very awkward, and as long as white is honestly "sticky", the move will appear too close to the thickness of white. A very basic chess theory in Go, don't play too close to the opponent's thick momentum, because the efficiency of this play is often not high, so this kind of black chess is equivalent to invisibly reducing to its own sub-effect.

On the other hand, black initially chooses "two high sandwiches", which can be seen as "2 to 1" in this part, where black is the attacking side and white is the defending side. But at this time, black suddenly ran to "retreat", which is another defensive move.

Isn't it an inconsistent mistake that you're clearly preparing to attack in front of you, and now you suddenly run to the defense again?

For a chess master like Lao Shenzhu, he must not look down on such chess.

But this move is highly recommended by Mr. Wu Qingyuan, if Fujisawa Hideyuki is a chess master, then Mr. Wu is a master, an all-round master.

When Mr. Wu recommended this move, he did not clearly say why he wanted to play it this way, but Li Xiaoqiang also had a deeper understanding of it, and he believed that this move was in line with another chess theory, a more esoteric one, in line with the "future Go" chess theory.

"Yes sir, you just asked me what "Future Go" looks like, and this move should be in line with the "Future Go" chess theory. ”

"Tell me about it...

At this time, Cao Yanzi surrounded him, Takao Shenlu surrounded him, and other professional chess players who came to participate in the retirement ceremony also surrounded him, and everyone was ready to listen to Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Xiuxing sit and talk. (To be continued.) )
