Yukari Umezawa, who had been shuttling between the two sides, when she walked into the game room for the last time today.

She just saw that Li Xiaoqiang picked up a white chess piece very elegantly, and he gently slapped the chess piece on the chessboard. His movements were calm and composed, and he didn't seem to have anything special, like the countless moves he usually landed on the board.

But after Mr. Wu Gong saw the chess move that Li Xiaoqiang had just dropped, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a helpless wry smile. Yukari Umezawa even noticed that there was even a hint of self-deprecation in Mr. Takemiya's smile.

At this time, Mr. Takemiya straightened up, and he scratched his head with his hand. Then he graciously picked up 2 sunspots and put them in the corner of the chessboard, and whispered to Li Xiaoqiang:

"No more......"

Yukari Umezawa didn't actually hear what Mr. Takemiya said clearly. However, when she saw Mr. Takemiya's actions, she already knew very well in her heart that his actions were the meaning of "disarming and surrendering" in Go.

When Mr. Wu Gong pushed the table and conceded defeat, it meant that in this game, Li Xiaoqiang won the "mid-game victory".

This is Li Xiaoqiang's first victory over Mr. Masaki Takemiya!

This is Li Xiaoqiang's first victory over Japan's "super first-class" chess player!

At this moment, Yukari Umezawa did not walk in front of the chessboard. She didn't walk over, she just quietly observed Li Xiaoqiang at the door. She noticed that Li Xiaoqiang's expression was still calm, and she couldn't tell how excited he was, let alone expressions like "ecstasy". He just looked tired, and twisted his neck slightly. In his expression, he saw more calmness and reserve. Of course, there seems to be a little bit of a burden.

After Mr. Wu Gong threw in the towel, he politely invited Li Xiaoqiang to conduct a post-match review. At this time, there are a lot of game room staff who have started to move around. However, Yukari Umezawa remained motionless. She was still staring at Li Xiaoqiang in a daze.

The first time she saw Li Xiaoqiang, he was 11 years old and she was 13 years old. More than 5 years have passed, and in the world of professional Go, Li Xiaoqiang's appearance still looks so young and immature. But when he's in the recap, when he's expressing his opinion and opinion after the game. Even if it is Umezawa's uncle, Mr. Masaki Takemiya, who is known as the "cosmic stream", he needs to listen attentively.

"Did you come to the world of Go specifically for miracles......

When the game is over. The people around were busy, so busy that no one noticed that Yukari Umezawa was in a daze. Until a staff member came to remind her and urged her to pass the last chess game to the chess hall.

When Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Wu Gong were still reviewing. The Chinese personnel who had been staying in the research room soon learned the news. Because in the first round, 5 Chinese chess players participated in the tournament at the same time. Therefore, it is impossible for Team Hua and Nie Whirlwind to only focus on this game of chess.

"Xiaoqiang won? That's good, that's good, so that we won't be shaved in the first round. Tsk, it's not easy to say that Xiaoqiang, he gnawed the hardest bone in the first round. It's not simple, our Xiaoqiang is really not simple......"

Heard the news of Li Xiaoqiang's victory. Team Leader Hua obviously looked like he was burdened. He chattered there, praising Li Xiaoqiang without words.

When Li Xiaoqiang won this game, it was actually just after 5 p.m. At this time, there are still many sets of matches that are not over. In a 5-game game with Chinese chess players. Only Liu Dazhui and Wang Licheng's match ended earlier. And the other 3 games are still in full swing.

In the wrestling with Wang Licheng, Liu Dazhui made a careless step in the middle game, which caused the whole situation to collapse instantly. Therefore, he was defeated early. In this way, he became the first Chinese chess player to be eliminated.

Except for Liu Dazhui's game of chess. The other 3 sets weren't going well either. By this time, the other three games were nearing completion. In the match between Chen Linxin and Hiroshi Yamashiro, although this game of chess has not yet been played. But the research office pronounced Chen Jiuduan's "death sentence" early. At present, his situation has deteriorated, and he is just struggling to support himself. In the eyes of the research laboratory, it is only a matter of time before Hiroshi Yamashiro wins chess.

In the remaining two games of chess, Cao Dafang's game was originally in a good situation, but under the pursuit of the opponent, the situation is now unclear, and it is very likely that he will win or lose in the end. Such a situation, of course, made Team Leader Hua worry about them.

In addition, I originally thought that Ma Xiaofei VS Yugen Taizheng was the final game. Ma Xiaofei also fell into a bitter battle early. The situation began to lag behind in the morning. Fortunately, Ma Xiaofei pressed step by step in the later games, and he has been pulled back a lot. Now his game of chess is still in chaos, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses.

In this way, when the news of Li Xiaoqiang's victory came, it was no wonder that Team Leader Hua was relieved. Because in the other games, there is no obvious victory for the Chinese team yet. There is a possibility of losing them all.

"Li San, Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa is still over there explaining your victory. Now, please come and meet with our chess fans, and by the way, Mr. Takemiya will also come and give a post-match speech. May I? ”

"Oh? Okay, lead the way. ”

When Li Xiaoqiang and Masaki Takemiya were still reviewing, the communication between the two of them after seeing the game was almost over. Yukari Umezawa came over and invited them to the chess hall to interact with the chess fans who came to the tournament. Upon hearing this request, the two players happily went. Even Mr. Takemiya, who was depressed after losing, did not find any excuse to excuse himself.

Go has always been a relatively "niche" sport. Therefore, the "sense of service" of professional chess players has always been strong. At least compared with other projects, it is rare to encounter the phenomenon of "playing big names". At this point, both now and in the future. Whether it is a Chinese chess player or a Japanese and Korean chess player, they have actually done a good job all the time. At least compared to a lot of popular projects, that's the case.

In today's era, it should be regarded as the heyday of Japanese Go. There are a lot of chess fans. And the current Mr. Masaki Takemiya, of course, is also a "big name" in the professional Go world. His popularity among chess fans is very high, and because of his unique style, he should be more popular than other super-notch chess players. However, with this kind of task of communicating and interacting with ordinary chess fans, he can't care about the pain of losing. I will not hesitate to go.

Interestingly, when Li Xiaoqiang arrived at the chess hall, Fujisawa Hideyuki's explanation had not yet been finished, and he was still talking there. During this period, there were also non-Japanese chess players who politely congratulated Li Xiaoqiang. Among them, there are even many ordinary Japanese chess fans.

Of course, this is not to say that Li Xiaoqiang is so popular. Li Xiaoqiang himself believes that this just illustrates the current mentality of the Japanese Go community. A real "Go power" mentality. You know, it's only the first round of the competition, so it's in the minds of many Japanese people. Li Xiaoqiang eliminated Wu Gong, it was not a big deal. After all, in addition to Takemiya, there are several other super-notch chess players in Japan who are "alive".

Their mentality is actually the same as that of South Korea 10 years later and China more than 20 years later. One or two of their country's strong players were eliminated, and everyone was not in a hurry at all. What's more, you will feel that the later games are more exciting and better-looking.

While waiting for Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa to finish his explanation. Li Xiaoqiang is actually a little bored when he stays. Because his old man speaks Japanese. Li Xiaoqiang didn't understand it. It may be that his old husband is very popular. After he saw Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Wu Gong enter. He didn't pay attention to Li Xiaoqiang either, he just called Mr. Wu Gong over. Cooperate with him to finish the key points of the last win and defeat of this set.

See them like that. Li Xiaoqiang on the side looked funny. Because he didn't understand what he was talking about. However, it is clear that Fujisawa Hideyuki is not very satisfied with Takemiya's performance. Looking at their expressions, it was obvious that Fujisawa Hideyuki was "reprimanding" Takemiya for something. And Mr. Takemiya also showed a happy "teachable" attitude, a submissive appearance.

"Yukari, what is Mr. talking about? Can you translate it for me? ”

“…… In this game of chess. Personally, I think black is a complete defeat. In terms of specific Go techniques, there is nothing to say about this game of chess, and I believe that everyone should have a certain understanding of the cosmic flow of the Martial Palace. In this game of chess. Black also basically played the characteristics of the cosmic flow......"

“…… But where did black lose? Personally, I think that Wu Gong still loses in his own mental power. Losing in his own mental strength is not as good as others. I told you a long time ago that this Chinese teenager has the temperament of a first-class winner. After watching this game of chess, you shouldn't doubt this anymore, right? After passing this game of chess. I even think that the current Li Sang is already a first-rate winner. And at this point, it is the gap between the martial palace and the others......"

“…… For example, today's last chess move, on the surface, it seems that Wu Gong did not find a flaw in his own big space. After being broken inside, he played chess in the whole big space. This also made it impossible for the whole game to continue. But is that really what it looks like? I'm afraid not. Wu Gong knew that his mid-abdomen tasted bad, why did he take off the first step to grab that big official......

“…… That's because he wavered! Our Mr. Takemiya is shaken! Unable to open the gap all the time, Takemiya developed an anxious mood. In the pursuit and pressure of his opponents, he no longer has the confidence to win. He even had a fluke mentality. That's why he took the lead in this place, hoping that the opponent wouldn't see the flaw, but how could this be? The opponent is known as the wizard on the chessboard. In many cases, many flaws that others can't see can be found by him, can you expect him not to see such obvious flaws......"

“…… Therefore, it can be considered that in today's game of chess, Wu Gong is not defeated in the normal Go technique, but in the competition of will and mental power. In this round of the contest, Takemiya was defeated! Do you agree with me for such a statement, Takemiya......"

In public, Yukari Umezawa behaved like a very professional official translator. She intermittently translated Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki's original words to Li Xiaoqiang. See her serious look. It makes Li Xiaoqiang look very funny.

Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki's explanation was finally translated, and Yukari Umezawa suddenly asked Li Xiaoqiang in a low voice:

"Li Sang, do you agree with Mr. Xiuxing's opinion?"

Does Li Xiaoqiang agree with it himself?

In Li Xiaoqiang's heart, he actually agrees with the analysis of Fujisawa Hideyuki, an old god. Because when he was preparing for this game of chess, he basically followed this line of thinking.

When playing this game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang actually played very awkwardly all the time. The reason for this is actually quite simple.

Because today's method is not what Li Xiaoqiang is good at!

But Li Xiaoqiang knew that if he wanted to win the Martial Palace, it should be best to use this kind of play. What Li Xiaoqiang borrowed was actually Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo's method of dealing with the Wu Palace. And what about the 2 games he lost in front of him? In fact, it's a bit like Cao Yanzi's method.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang knew it in his heart. According to his current level, if he wants to win the Martial Palace, he is still the most sure of today's tactics. Although I am not good at this kind of play.

It must be admitted that what supports Li Xiaoqiang's idea is actually related to the characteristics of Mr. Wu Gong.

In Li Xiaoqiang's view, although Mr. Wu Gong's Go talent is very high, he, like many "genius chess players", is not a first-rate winner. Let's compare him with Kobayashi Koji and Cho Ji-hoon. Li Xiaoqiang believes that in this regard, Mr. Wu Gong should be slightly inferior to the other two.

Therefore, it can be considered that in Li Xiaoqiang's heart, he agrees with Hideyuki Fujisawa's view. Of course, he agrees to agree, and he certainly won't say it. Therefore, when he faced Yukari Umezawa's question, he had to smile and ask rhetorically:

"What do you say......"

The meeting with Japanese chess fans did not last long. After the first round of the competition, the draw ceremony for the second round will be held in the evening.

When Li Xiaoqiang and Leader Hua converged. All the matches in Round 1 are over. Chen Linxin unsurprisingly lost to Hiroshi Yamashiro in the ninth section. And Cao Dafang's nine sections were unfortunately reversed by Yoshio Ishida in a competition of officials. Stop Round 1.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaofei was in a scuffle, and he seized the last opportunity. He also came back from behind to defeat Yasumasa Hamine Kudan.

In this way, 3 players will be able to participate in the second round. To be fair, there were only 3 Chinese players in the round of 16. That's not a good result.

After a brief dinner, players from all over the world gathered in the arena again. In the evening, the second round of the draw ceremony will be held.

Who will be Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in the second round? (To be continued......)
