Before Li Xiaoqiang left, he began to pose his last question of the day on the chessboard.

He actually didn't know how Yukari Umezawa translated. In short, when he began to play chess, the Japanese Go veterans, middle-aged and young players showed great interest. They all want to see with their own eyes, what is the "super problem" in Li Xiaoqiang's mouth?

Indeed, it is no wonder that everyone is so interested. Because for a long time, the mystery of Li Xiaoqiang has never been solved. When he first appeared in everyone's sight, it was as if he had popped out of a crack in the stone. No one knows how he learned chess in the first place, and they don't know why he, a person who had never formally learned Go, had such a strong strength at that time. Everyone only vaguely believes that when Li Xiaoqiang was enlightened, he should have started by learning ancient Chinese chess.

Of course, everyone says that this is the case, and this question has not been confirmed by anyone. Because as long as you think about it carefully, you will actually find that Li Xiaoqiang is a "descendant of ancient chess", in fact, most of them are said by himself, and there is no real evidence at all. And if you want to go a little deeper. Li Xiaoqiang will mix up with reasons such as "I was young back then," "I can't remember clearly after so much time...... and so on.

When he later threw out the "Tianlong Diagram" of the first two volumes, this had already been diverted by Li Xiaoqiang. and then to his endless "novice new type". Everyone had to pinch their noses and admit his identity as a "descendant of ancient chess".

There is no way to admit it. Because in Li Xiaoqiang's Go, you can see too many differences from this era. Some specific moves are still trivial, but the key is some of his Go ideas and Go concepts. In fact, everyone doesn't know whether it's good or not, the only thing everyone can be sure of is that many of Li Xiaoqiang's Go ideas seem to come from another Go system.

So in this year, in addition to the most mainstream, the concept of Go inherited by Japanese Go. Are there any other Go philosophies? In addition to the ancient Chinese chess that has lost its inheritance. You really can't think of going anywhere else.

With Li Xiaoqiang's growth, as Li Xiaoqiang's Go level is getting higher and higher. With one "miracle" after another he created. Although everyone doesn't say it, in fact, everyone's interest in Li Xiaoqiang's Go concept is getting stronger and stronger.

In order for a person to improve their Go skills, which are the necessary elements under normal circumstances? The player's personal efforts, his talent for Go, and the environment in which he finds himself should be the first thing that comes to mind.

Li Xiaoqiang is no longer the Li Xiaoqiang he was when he "first debuted". At that time, everyone didn't know much about Li Xiaoqiang, so he seemed more mysterious. And now? Li Xiaoqiang's basic situation is very clear to everyone.

than hard work?. Although Li Xiaoqiang is very hard-working. But his level of hard work is something that professional chess players have. It's not uncommon to work harder than him.

than the surrounding environment? To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang's Go atmosphere is not particularly good. He did receive a lot of special care from the Chinese Go community, and that was only compared to Chang Rensheng. The professional competitions he can participate in at the moment are actually not many. Not only is it not much, but it is actually not standardized. When you're busy, you play a lot of games in a row. What about when you're free? It could also be months without a chess game. This has happened many times in Li Xiaoqiang's career.

So at this time, everyone had to attribute Li Xiaoqiang's achievements to his "Go talent". But it's strange in this place. Although "talent" is not easy to say. But something is still on the surface. For example, IQ, for example, reaction speed, calculation speed, and so on. Li Xiaoqiang doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding?

Well, even if Li Xiaoqiang is particularly good at competing. In the words of Hideyuki Fujisawa, an old god stick, he has the "temperament of a first-class winner". But even if you add it all up. It seems that it is impossible for Li Xiaoqiang to achieve his current results? ，

When everyone thinks about these things. Then Li Xiaoqiang's "unique" thing, his unique and unusual Go concept, will attract everyone's special attention.

The so-called Go concept. In fact, it is a question of "way of thinking". A kind of "methodological" question. This may seem like a trivial question, but it's actually important. For example, no matter how good a person's Go talent is. The way he thinks is wrong. Will he be able to play well on the board?

It must be pointed out that at the beginning, no one cared about Li Xiaoqiang's little thing. Because his overall level at that time was not enough. In his own game of Go, he simply could not embody a complete new thinking. Just scattered on the chessboard.

Therefore, people are more willing to attribute his previous victories to his "surprise" and his ability to take advantage of opportunities in the game. What's more, because some of Li Xiaoqiang's ways of thinking about problems are contrary to the current mainstream thinking, many people look down on them. So except for a few people who think about it, others don't think about deeper issues.

But now it's not good, everyone used to talk about Li Xiaoqiang's "whimsy" every day. But he has been "whimsy" for several years, and everyone has long been familiar with this characteristic of him. But why is his "novice newbie" still emerging? Not only that, but when he uses these things now, his true intentions have become more and more hidden, and his power seems to be getting bigger and bigger. When encountering this phenomenon, you can't say that he is a "flash of inspiration" every time, right?

Therefore, people who have a heart will think about this question. There is only one explanation for this situation: when Li Xiaoqiang thinks about problems, he uses different methods from others! Therefore, when everyone thinks about the problems on the chessboard with the most normal thinking and the most "mainstream" thinking of this era. will feel that many of his moves are unexpected, and will feel that the "wizard on the chessboard" is unguardable.

For what everyone is interested in, Li Xiaoqiang is actually very clear in his heart. is also because of the lie he told many years ago, which also forced Li Xiaoqiang in recent years. It took a lot of effort to deepen my understanding of second-hand chess. Therefore, he now thinks that there is absolutely no problem in taking something in the middle chess to "show" in front of Mr. Kato and them.

Li Xiaoqiang's "posing" action is still very fast. He quickly presented his problems on the chessboard.

The reporter Zhang Da next to him has actually been paying attention to Li Xiaoqiang's movements, when he saw Li Xiaoqiang's chess shape. Reporter Zhang Da smiled, because at this time, he almost knew what Li Xiaoqiang meant.

Li Xiaoqiang posed. It is the famous "Danghu Ten Rounds" in ancient chess, and it is a situation in the third game of Danghu Ten Rounds. There is no doubt that "Danghu Ten Rounds" is not the pinnacle of ancient Chinese chess, which is the treasure of ancient chess!

Li Xiaoqiang used this game of chess to "test" Mr. Masao Kato, and there was absolutely no problem.

Let's take the third game of "Danghu Ten Innings" as an example. Because in later generations, second-hand chess was not looked down upon by many people. Therefore, not many people delve into these games. China's Chen Chaoyue Jiudan is more respectful of ancient chess. He has been studying ancient genealogy for many years. Of course, he also studied the most famous "Danghu Ten Rounds" in ancient chess, and it should be regarded as a relatively deep study.

"When the Lake Ten Bureau" is very famous after all, so from the day it was born, it has been hundreds of years. There have been many studies in the Go world. Over the years, there has been a common perception in the Go world: it is believed that the third game of the ten games of Danghu is the worst among the ten games.

But the interesting thing is in this place, and one day in the new century, this conclusion, which has lasted for so many years, seems to be disagreed. He took out his years of research results and claimed that the third game of Danghu was definitely a masterpiece.

In this way, it has aroused the interest of many people. It must be admitted. The research results of others are solid, and the conclusions are also hard. When people reveal the changes hidden behind the game. Most people must admit that the third game of the "Danghu Ten Innings" can indeed be called a "masterpiece".

What's the main difference? In the past, it was thought that the quality of Game 3 was poor. It is considered that both sides of the game are in this game. There have been 3 very serious mistakes.

Since it's a "famous game of Go", it's not that you can't make mistakes, but you can't make too many mistakes. There can be so many "serious mistakes". Otherwise, it is not a "famous game". This should be the general understanding of everyone. For example, the other games of Danghu are not only exciting and intense. There are also very few errors inside. And what about Game 3 of Danghu? Not only are there many mistakes, but they also seem to be serious. Naturally, this is where the "poor quality" argument comes in.

But after years of analysis and research. It was found that modern people pointed out 2 "serious mistakes" of others. There's one that's completely wrong. After in-depth research, it was found that the method of the ancients was the most correct.

And what about the other one? The modern view cannot be said to be wrong. But when the means contained in it were revealed, everyone felt cold and swishing one by one. Because everyone found that it was better to play the way of the ancients!

It must be admitted that the third mistake in that game does exist. However, at this time, everyone can't take care of the third mistake, because if the first two points of view are subverted, then the third game of the Danghu Tenth Game is considered a "masterpiece"?

The answer to this must be yes!

Since the birth of Go, whether ancient or modern, whether it is China or Japan, there have been a large number of competitions every year, and many chess games have been produced every year.

Have you ever seen a chess game like "Ten Rounds of Danghu"?

Generations of people have been studied, but after decades or hundreds of years of research, "new results" can emerge from time to time, and new conclusions can overturn old conclusions. This kind of thing happened in the "Danghu Ten Bureau".

For example, Japanese Go has also produced many famous games. In later generations, a large number of chess games were produced every year. There are some chess games, which are indeed not very easy to draw conclusions, but the conclusions are so "capricious" that it seems that only "Danghu Ten Games" can do it. What does this mean? In addition to showing that the master played an esoteric chess. There is no other reason to explain!

Li Xiaoqiang often jokingly thinks that in terms of his attitude towards Danghu, except for the cattle man in later generations, that is, Zhou Xiaosong, a great player in the late Qing Dynasty, has the most correct attitude.

"I can't catch it, I tremble, I don't dare to comment!"

Li Xiaoqiang used the "pit" Mr. Masao Kato today, which is actually the most critical point of divergence in the third game of the lake. That point of divergence that has been misunderstood by everyone for many years.

"Mr. Kato, I have always believed that in Go, the most important thing in terms of technique is to judge the situation, and under that is the normal mind. Go is a battle, so it's easy to get emotional. Once excited, concentration becomes weaker. There is no battle without a normal mind. I think you should agree with what I said, right? I would like to remind you now that the situation you are seeing now, without careful analysis and study, it should be difficult for you to make a correct judgment, and a wrong judgment will lead to the wrong choice and you will lose your way on the chessboard......"

“…… Time is running out this morning, and I don't think you will be able to come to the right conclusion about my question so quickly. So that's it for today, and I can tell you very clearly that if you figure out the changes, then you can understand the player's judgment at the time. And only by doing this can people really understand their choice. I'm not afraid to tell you that many of my Go ideas can actually be found in this situation......"

After leaving this big hole, Li Xiaoqiang said goodbye and left. A room full of Japanese chess players was left stunned. Of course, the "super puzzle" said by the "wizard on the chessboard", then everyone has to weigh it. Therefore, at this time, no one blames him for being arrogant.

On the way back, Li Xiaoqiang asked Zhang Zhidong proudly:

"Reporter Zhang, what do you think of my question today? Will Mr. Li be happy when he finds out? ”

The "Teacher Li" in Li Xiaoqiang's mouth is the cow who studied "Danghu". Teacher Li Jiaqing Li from Shencheng. He was the Chinese amateur champion in the '90 last year. He had devoted himself to the study of "Danghu" for 40 years, but according to his own words, he only studied two and a half rounds.

Li Xiaoqiang thinks that it is because of his research spirit. Even if the top professional master comes to him, he should be respectfully called "Mr. Li"!

In fact, at this time, Mr. Li's research results had not yet been released to the public. However, Li Xiaoqiang was very lucky, he was also an amateur powerhouse in Shencheng, and he met Mr. Li Jiaqing Li through Zhang Da reporter. And Mr. Li looks at his face as a "descendant of ancient chess". He once shared his research results with Li Xiaoqiang. It also gives him a chance to show off at this time.

"I don't know if Mr. Li will be happy. I've only noticed what you said earlier. Tsk, "There is no battle without a normal heart!" ", I really can't see it, Xiaoqiang, your level of speaking is also very high now......"

"Ahem......"

Hearing reporter Zhang Da's words, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly couldn't be happy. Because he suddenly found that none of the things he brought to him today seemed to be his "original". What was used to "shake" Mr. Kato was the research results of Mr. Li Jiaqing and Mr. Li. And what about "there is no fight without a normal heart"? It seems to be the words of a junior chess player.

After being reborn for so many years, although Li Xiaoqiang's face is thick enough, at this time, he is still embarrassed to "praise himself" in front of reporter Zhang Da.

Before boarding the flight back to China in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang saw Yukari Umezawa again.

"Li Sang, you promised me the day before yesterday, you won't forget it, right?"

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang smiled at Yukari Umezawa:

"Don't worry, Yukari, I'm still the same sentence, I've always done what I said."

After the first two rounds of the 4th "Fujitsu Cup", Li Xiaoqiang returned to China. He'll be ready for the next round. (To be continued......)
