"What's the problem?"

At the Chinese Chess Academy, when the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Kobayashi Jue was coming to an end, a large group of chess players gathered to analyze the game.

Most people looked at each other.

Due to the large number of tournaments during this time, the heavyweight competition in the world chess world is overwhelming. Probably due to "aesthetic fatigue", the semi-finals of the "Toyo Securities Cup" did not attract too much attention.

It's normal to think about it, people's preconceived notions are not so easy to change. Although Mr. Kobayashi has just been crowned the Japanese "Chess Saint", before Mr. Kobayashi has not continued to prove himself, no one thinks that he and Li Xiaoqiang are opponents of the same level at this time.

Kobayashi Satoru won the Japanese "chess saint", which can only show that he is in good shape at the moment. But in terms of state, from the end of last year to the present, who else in the chess world can be better than Li Xiaoqiang? What's more, before this encounter, the two had not fought against each other, and Kobayashi Jue had never won in front of Li Xiaoqiang. What's more, Li Xiaoqiang still has the title of "Japanese chess player nemesis" on his head......

In the early days, in fact, some people saw that Li Xiaoqiang's situation was unfavorable at that time, but no one took it seriously at that time. Even those chess players who have seen that Li Xiaoqiang's situation is unfavorable, out of their trust in Li Xiaoqiang, they also think that Li Xiaoqiang will definitely have a way. Especially later, when they saw that Li Xiaoqiang was still unhurried, some chess players even doubted their judgment.

If the situation is unfavorable, then according to common sense, Li Xiaoqiang should also use some "unconventional means", right? But Li Xiaoqiang's later moves are still decent, he looks so calm and calm, is it because Li Xiaoqiang judges that his situation is not bad? You know, Li Xiaoqiang is a top master, if he thinks his situation is good, then is his judgment biased......

But it was nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon. As the situation on the chessboard becomes clearer and clearer, now everyone finally finds out that it is not their own judgment of the situation that is wrong, but that Li Xiaoqiang's judgment may be biased. In the current situation on the chessboard, Kobayashi Jue has an obvious advantage. This advantage of his is now even irreversible.

"What's the problem? I don't see where the boss is doing badly. ”

Chang Rensheng twisted a few chess pieces in his hand and looked left and right at the chessboard in front of him. Around him, there were also Yu Bin, Luo Shenzhu, Zhou Dayang and others. By this time. There is no one to help Li Xiaoqiang find a way to reverse. Because in everyone's opinion, the current situation is very clear, Li Xiaoqiang's defeat has been decided, and there is no possibility of reversal. The only purpose of everyone's current study of the chess game seems to be to find the cause of Li Xiaoqiang's defeat, or in other words, to find the reason for Kobayashi Jue's victory.

Chang Rensheng glanced at Yu Bin, who was sitting beside him: "Fish head, what do you think?" ”

Yu Bin is one of the previous players who doubted his judgment. But by this time, although he had already proved his previous judgment correct. But Yu Bin still looked very confused:

"yes, this chess...... If you lose in chess, of course, you can think that Xiaoqiang is not playing well, but if you look at it step by step. Xiaoqiang's moves are also normal, at least there are no obvious bad moves. But how...... Let's take a look at Kobayashi Satoru's tricks and see where he plays well. ”

If a game of chess that has already been divided into winners and losers, if you can't find the losing side obviously "lost". Under normal circumstances, then the winning side is likely to have a "win". Now everyone is doing this work, and everyone is looking for Kobayashi Jue's "victory".

But after everyone looked for a while. Stop the study again and look at each other. In this game of chess, Kobayashi Jue can win against Li Xiaoqiang, and on the whole, of course, it can be said that he played quite well. However, there doesn't seem to be a word to say "win", at least at the level of Chang Rensheng and Yu Bin and others, they don't think that Kobayashi Jue is very subtle.

There is neither "defeat" nor "victory", but Xiao Lin Jue's advantage is obvious, and the gap between the two sides does not seem to be small, so what is wrong?

"It seems that the boss is really tired, and the intensive schedule has affected his form. Nimbus! The boss didn't have a bit of aura in this game of chess! It's not like his usual chess. I also think that's the only reason the boss lost today. Of course, this is just my personal feeling, and I don't know if I'm right or not. ”

It was Luo Shen Pig who spoke. After Luo Shenzhu finished speaking, everyone was silent, neither agreed nor opposed. Thinking about it, this is actually very normal, everyone analyzes a game of chess, the first thing they pursue is a "rational" thing, and only when rational analysis has no result, will they use "sensibility" to judge. Luo Shenzhu said that the "aura" of the god horse, this is already a purely emotional judgment. Since it is a purely emotional understanding, then everyone naturally has nothing to say.

"Well, it seems like there's only one reason now."

After everyone was silent for a while, Chang Rensheng took the lead in nodding yes. Immediately afterwards, the others also nodded their heads and agreed with Luo Shenzhu's opinion. Indeed, although the reason Luo Shenzhu found for Li Xiaoqiang was "emotional", it sounded reasonable.

Just as when evaluating the overall strength of a professional chess player, there are usually two aspects of evaluation: "virtual" and "real". In fact, when analyzing a specific chess game, the same will be done. Especially at the higher the level, the more "virtual" aspects may be.

Reporter Zhang Da played chess, and of course no one asked him any "realm" questions. The current Chang Rensheng, when everyone comments on him, at most they will only say what kind of chess style he is now, and what characteristics he has. But going up, for example, to the level of Nie Whirlwind, to Li Xiaoqiang's current level, there may be more and more things like "realm".

For example, in today's game of chess, in terms of "reality", everyone did not see anything wrong with Li Xiaoqiang. This shows that his basic skills and "road calculation" are still there, but why did he lose to Kobayashi Jue? That, of course, is the "virtual" aspect that goes wrong. So why does he have a problem with the "virtual" aspect? That's of course because he's tired, and fatigue leads to numbness. Coupled with the fact that he may be a little contemptuous of his opponent, he is not excited enough during the game.

In any case, the current Kobayashi Satoru is also a dignified Japanese "chess saint", when a chess sense is numb Li Xiaoqiang, when a game is not excited enough Li Xiaoqiang, he lost to the Japanese reigning "chess saint" naturally has nothing to say.

"I really didn't expect that the boss would stop his hurricane at this time......"

In the Chinese Chess Academy, the study of this game of chess has stopped, and the reason for Li Xiaoqiang's loss seems to have been reached early. Now what is left for Chang Rensheng seems to be only emotion. Not only Chang Rensheng is sighing, but also in Seoul, reporter Zhang Da, who accompanied Li Xiaoqiang to participate in the competition, is even more emotional:

"It's a pity, it's a pity to lose this game. Xiaoqiang, do you know that if you lose this game, you will not only lose a world championship, but also may have the biggest fish that slipped through the net this year. Alas, the "Triple Crown", the third "Triple Crown" in the world chess may be born from this. ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly, Li Xiaoqiang, who had already walked out of the game room, could only smile bitterly at this time. Of course, he knew what reporter Zhang Da meant. Because with the end of today's competition, the two players who have reached the finals of the "Toyo Securities Cup" have already been selected. In addition to Kobayashi Jue, the other one is Cao Yanzi, who is currently holding 2 crowns, but has been beaten by himself this year and can't find the north!

If you make it to the finals yourself......

Losing is depressing enough, and walking out of the game room to know the news is of course even more depressing. Of course, another sentence is well said, the so-called is not the most depressed, only more depressed, and there is a situation that makes Li Xiaoqiang even more depressed.

That is, in the five world competitions this year, although the "Toyo Securities Cup" is not inconspicuous, its championship prize is the lowest in the five competitions. However, it was the first of five competitions to produce a champion.

I have already entered the final of the "Ying's Cup", and the final will not start until June. However, the winner of the "Toyo Securities Cup" will be decided by mid-May at the latest.

It's late April, and the final of the Toyo Securities Cup will start in early May. If Cao Yanzi can win the championship as he wishes, then he will become the third "triple crown" in the world chess world after himself and Li Shifo. ”

"Alas, Lao Cao's life is really hard......"

Li Xiaoqiang sighed. Even if Li Xiaoqiang is a reborn, even if his appearance has changed the entire world chess world a lot. However, at this time, Li Xiaoqiang still has to sigh that Lao Cao's life is really good.

Can Kobayashi Satoru win against Cao Yanzi? , of course, this is not to say that it is impossible, but if you play chess, although Kobayashi Jue has just won Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang does not think that he will be Lao Cao's opponent in the chess match.

"I want to open a little, even if Lao Cao becomes the triple crown, but there are many opportunities this year, he is the triple crown, let's get a five crown, six crowns, there is a sentence, how to say? We have been chased, but never overtaken. Xiaoqiang, don't you think it's also interesting to do this? ”

Li Xiaoqiang was amused by reporter Zhang Da's words: "Now there is only hope for this." ”

"If you want me to say, you can actually have some benefits in losing this game, at least in exchange for a period of recuperation, and we can carefully prepare for the semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup" starting in the middle of next month...... Hey, Xiaoqiang, where are you going......"

Li Xiaoqiang stared at reporter Zhang Da:

"Since you said you were resting, what are you doing in a daze? Let's go, go back to China and recuperate......"

In late April 97, Li Xiaoqiang, who lost in the semifinals of the "Toyo Securities Cup", returned to China to recuperate. During the more than 10-day break, Li Xiaoqiang witnessed Cao Yanzi ravaging Kobayashi Satoru with a score of 3-0, and he became the "Triple Crown" of world chess like himself while winning the "Toyo Securities Cup".

"Tsk, what a big fish that slipped through the net......"

With such feelings, in mid-May, Li Xiaoqiang went to Seoul again. (To be continued.) )
