In the first game against Mr. Masao Kato, Li Xiaoqiang used a set of imperceptible "official combination punches", which also allowed him to take the lead in this three-game chess smoothly. After the game was over, Li Xiaoqiang just had a brief review with Mr. Kato. Then he came to the research room, and he began to pay attention to the first game between Mr. Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo.

After Li Xiaoqiang came to the viewing room, he naturally accepted everyone's congratulations. However, most of these congratulations are point-to-point. Because everyone knows in their hearts that it is the first game of chess after all, although Li Xiaoqiang has made a good start, it is far from the time to celebrate the final victory.

"He looks a little unstoppable now......"

In this viewing room, reporter Yamada looked at Li Xiaoqiang not far away with a complicated look. Then he expressed such feelings to the reporter Park next to him.

"Yes, the momentum of young people is sometimes a real headache......

Despite losing the set, Mr. Kato was still very personable. He also appeared in the viewing room and gave a brief interview to Yamada.

When interviewed, Mr. Kato naturally praised Li Xiaoqiang. and repeatedly emphasized: "Li Sang's official kung fu is very powerful", "I was defeated in the official competition" Yunyun.

However, after all, the time and place of the interview were not appropriate, so Mr. Kato did not go into details. He did not specify his key cause of failure. So from the perspective of reporter Yamada and reporter Park, they don't know where Li Xiaoqiang won.

What they can see now may only be a few small mistakes behind Mr. Kato, which is Mr. Kato's poor performance. As for Li Xiaoqiang, that is the famous "King of Leakage". Therefore, in their opinion, Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess seems to have relied on "picking up leaks" to win.

After they have formed such an opinion, they will say the previous dialogue.

On the other side of the viewing room, Li Xiaoqiang also accepted a brief interview with reporter Zhang Da. But he didn't say much. He just said a few kind words. Then he began to concentrate on the other game.

When Li Xiaoqiang came to the research room, it was almost half past five in the afternoon. In terms of normal match time, both sides should now be in the countdown. Perhaps because of Mr. Zhao Zhixun's participation, Li Xiaoqiang found that the progress of the game was unexpectedly slow, and the situation on the chessboard was also chaotic. It seems that we have just entered the critical point of victory and defeat. This also makes Li Xiaoqiang look relished.

The reason why Li Xiaoqiang is so interested in the match between Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo. That's because Li Xiaoqiang remembers very clearly: in the history of his previous life, the next competition, that is, the final of the 4th "Toyo Securities Cup". It was between these two players that it unfolded. The result of that competition was a bit surprising to everyone, Li Shifo "kept a clean sheet" against Zhao Zhixun with a score of 3-0. Thus won the final championship.

Among them, what surprised Li Xiaoqiang was not the final result, but the score. To say that Li Shifo at that time was able to defeat Zhao Zhixun in the chess match. Then he still has the strength. However, this score made Li Xiaoqiang feel a little surprised.

In real history, it can be said that Mr. Zhao Zhixun's "first fame" was almost destroyed in the hands of Li Shifo. His overall record against Li Shifo can only be described as miserable. And this 3-0, this is not only the beginning of history, but also a symbol.

"Today's No. 1 in Japan can no longer be called No. 1 in the world......

It was after losing that match that Mr. Cho Ji-hoon broke out in Japan again, and he reunited Japan's "Big Triple Crown". But Mr. Zhao Zhixun at that time. He could only helplessly sigh like this.

Therefore, it can be said that the final of the "Toyo Securities Cup" seemed to herald the transfer of power in the world chess world. Japanese Go, which had been ahead for almost a hundred years, finally lost its supremacy.

Of course. The current Li Xiaoqiang actually doesn't care about this. If you want to say that Li Xiaoqiang's purpose in choosing Go in his life, he has a great hope, which is to break this handover. Therefore, he is also preparing for this all the time.

Now Li Xiaoqiang is interested in two questions: first, he is now eager to take a closer look. How could Li Shifo restrain Zhao Zhixun? Second, now the duel between Li Shifo and Zhao Zhixun seems to be 1 year in advance, and Li Xiaoqiang wants to use Mr. Zhao Zhixun as a reference. Weigh Li Shifo's current skills......

"Xiaoqiang, what do you think of the current situation in this game of chess? Who is more likely to win? ”

The time has reached 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the match between Li Shifo and Zhao Zhixun is not over. Not only that, but the chessboard seems to be very lively, and the situation is very tense and exciting. Therefore, at this time, not only Li Xiaoqiang, but everyone in the research room was attracted by this game. Like South Korea's Cao Yanzi Seo Bong-su and Chang Rensheng of the national junior team, they are also now in a circle, all enthusiastically discussing the changes on the chessboard.

"I don't see the situation clearly, so I can't say who is good and who is bad. Intuitively, though, I think Mr. Zhao is more likely to win. ”

"Oh? Why do you think so? ”

"Hehe, I told you it was just my gut feeling. Because the current situation seems to be the one that Mr. Zhao is better at. In other words, Mr. Zhao may have put the situation on track to his strengths. That's why I'm bullish on him......"

Faced with reporter Zhang Da's question, Li Xiaoqiang answered him like this. When Li Xiaoqiang's opinion was known to others, reporter Park's face began to look bad, while reporter Yamada was overjoyed. Indeed, this is not to say that they consider Li Xiaoqiang's judgment to be authoritative. It's just that in the eyes of these insiders, Li Xiaoqiang's opinion is in line with the truth, and his inference seems to be very reasonable, so everyone agrees with Li Xiaoqiang's judgment.

The current context of this game of chess is very clear, and a situation has been formed on the chessboard in which Zhao Zhixun governs the orphan and Li Shifo needs to attack. And judging from the process of the chess game, it should not be Li Shifo's wish to form this situation. It was Zhao Zhixun who "forced" him to attack himself.

In the tense mid-game battle, Li Shifo, as always, wanted to use his "control flow" method to control the whole situation. And during that period, Zhao Zhixun should have found some amazing means, he suddenly put the safety of one of his big dragons in danger, and forcibly seized another big official on the chessboard with great profits. Actually, from that time. The whole game was also out of balance in an instant. Li Shifo was forced to attack only one way. And this kind of play is obviously not the original intention of "control flow".

While everyone was still studying this game of chess, the offensive and defensive battles on the chessboard were actually coming to an end. The means discovered by Zhao Zhixun earlier should now come to the bottom of the matter. Many masters in the research laboratory should have found a good hand to cure orphans, and with that move, it should indicate the failure of Li Shifo's attack and the success of Zhao Zhixun's treatment of orphans. In that way, it is very natural for everyone to be more optimistic about Zhao Zhixun.

Those who have this view of course also include Li Xiaoqiang, who is currently watching the game seriously.

The contest between Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo is actually a contest between two different chess styles. So from the perspective of a bystander. It's still very interesting to watch.

Now it seems that Li Shifo's "control flow" has not been fully cultivated. At least at this time, his skills seem to be a little worse. He doesn't seem to be able to control Zhao Zhixun's assault......"

When this offensive and defensive battle is over, the game is effectively over. Because Li Shifo was already a lot behind, and the space on the chessboard was too small, he didn't have much room to toss. However, Li Xiaoqiang did not leave at this time, because he still saw a very wonderful scene in the process behind this game of chess.

When the chess game reached this point, Li Shifo seemed to be pushed off the cliff. But. Li Shifo did not fall completely, he hung in the air and began to climb step by step. His moves are still as simple as wildflowers blown down by the wind, or as quietly as the mist of a valley in the middle of the night.

But. Li Xiaoqiang can feel it very clearly: Li Shifo has exerted his strength! In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, there is even such a picture now:

It's like a duel between two top players. In adversity, Li Shifo's victory and defeat breathing was obviously slower, and the staying power he spit out was obviously longer. And what about Mr. Cho Ji-hoon? He was originally super strong. But as if he was being bewitched, he kept repeating subtle mistakes.

Li Xiaoqiang played chess with Zhao Zhixun. Therefore, Mr. Cho Ji-hoon's current appearance can be imagined. In Li Xiaoqiang's imagination: Mr. Zhao Zhixun, who is currently in the game room, his face must have turned red. Now, as if he was trying his best to control himself from shouting......

It was about 7 o'clock in the evening. The two have been fighting for nearly 2 hours in the sound of countdowns. And at this time, this game of chess has finally come to an end.

Half-eye!

When Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo crossed the finish line in this game, it was Mr. Zhao Zhixun who took the lead in stretching out half of his head. Although he still held on to the final victory. However, Li Shifo's strong pursuit still left a very deep impact on the people in the viewing room.

The door to the game room was slowly pushed open, and many people rushed in. However, Li Xiaoqiang didn't move, he just looked at Mr. Zhao Zhixun from a distance. The joy of victory was mixed with a hint of fear, which made Zhao Zhixun's expression very exciting.

"When you fight him, will your strong heart start to waver? Also, do you feel cold now......"

The first leg of the 3rd Toyo Securities Cup semi-finals came to an end. The "confrontation between the old and the new" in the world chess world, which has been hyped by everyone, has also been a draw for the time being. As one of the "parties", Li Xiaoqiang did not participate in their review. After he watched the final game, he silently left the room.

Because now he hasn't come to see the excitement. If he wants to get back to the finals of the World Series, he must first pass Mr. Masao Kato.

Li Xiaoqiang knew very well in his heart that because of his victory today, he gave himself a head start in this three-game chess competition. But the opponent, Mr. Kato, is a super first-class player with a lot of experience. A player like him has an excellent ability to adjust the game. The loss of the first leg was absolutely unshaken by his victory. So in the next matches, he will definitely come up with other ways to deal with himself.

It's the same for Li Xiaoqiang, especially as the second game of the 3-game chess, because the precedence of the game has been determined, there is no need to re-guess the first. Playing a game of chess is Li Xiaoqiang's black first. As a result, it will also be easier for both sides to prepare for the game.

Relatively speaking, it should be better prepared for the side that holds the black first. Therefore, now Li Xiaoqiang, he must carry out such preparations.

He is waiting for a new round of vicious fighting. (To be continued......)
