The first "China-South Korea Hand Competition" came to an end, and after the game, Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by reporters.

"I really didn't think about it that much before the game, and there was only one reason why I chose to play this way today, and that was that I played this game of chess with black."

At the press conference, there was not much mention of the final victory, and not many people cared about the content of the chess game. One of the most frequently asked questions is: Why did Li Xiaoqiang do this?

For this question, Li Xiaoqiang gave the above answer. After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang smiled and shut up, if someone asked a similar question, Li Xiaoqiang would no longer answer.

Yes, what "wants to knock down the opponent in the strongest area of the opponent", what "wants to destroy the opponent in will" Yunyun. Let's not mention that Li Shifo will soon become his teammate, so he must be polite to others. What's more, what Li Xiaoqiang told was originally the truth.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Li Xiaoqiang knows that there is only one main reason why he chose this way of playing today: that is, he guessed the black chess today.

It's that simple!

When he was interviewed by reporters, Li Xiaoqiang's eyes were even looking everywhere, and he saw Ma Xiaofei standing in the crowd:

"In your previous life, when you and Li Shifo competed for dominance in the world, there were several games of chess, and you were holding white and losing half of your eyes in the era of sticking 5 and a half meshes, and you were holding black and losing half of your eyes in the era of sticking 6 and a half meshes. Sometimes I really wonder if this is because there is indeed a gap in the level between you and Li Shifo, or the so-called fate of fate. Therefore, at this stage, when Li Shifo has not really stepped into the peak, I have to have a good competition with him. I don't want Zhibai to win him, but at least I hope Zhibai can win him. If I was in the black case, I wouldn't dare to compete with him for officials. Then in the near future, I may not be qualified to compete with both of you at all......"

That's right, the above is Li Xiaoqiang's real thoughts. This is the true thought that Li Xiaoqiang can only bury in his heart and cannot say to anyone. Li Xiaoqiang knew it very well in his heart. After I chose the path of professional Go, there are some things that I must deal with head-on, and I can't go around it at all. For example, in a contest like today, you can't avoid it, no matter how many times you lose. I must pass this hurdle myself.

But the result is okay, Li Xiaoqiang is now in a happy mood, although today is his own black chess, it is a black chess piece of the 5 and a half era. This makes my victory a little cheaper, but anyway, today is a win after all.

"Many people speak highly of today's game, believing that it is a rare game in recent years. Cao Yanzi said in South Korea that the two of you showed amazing skills today, and Mr. Otake Hero of Japan even thought that this was a textbook game, a textbook for the competition between officials and sons. What do you think about this? ”

After hearing such praise. Li Xiaoqiang smiled embarrassedly. He looked at Li Shifo beside him, and looked at Ma Xiaofei not far away, feeling that he had stolen the limelight from other people's Ma Xiaofei again. In real history, there was once a famous game called "official textbook", which was jointly created by Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo in 96.

Li Xiaoqiang looked back on the game of chess he played today, and felt that compared with the game of chess they played, if he didn't look at other aspects, he only looked at it from the perspective of officials. Today's plate should be no less impressive.

In real history, that game of chess was lost by Ma Xiaofei. Because many people regard that game of chess as a watershed in the "horse-Li hegemony". So Li Xiaoqiang was impressed. In that game of chess, although the two showed extremely superb skills, Ma Xiaofei actually made two small mistakes. The first mistake was that an absolute first move that could obviously be cheapened by 1 eye chess in the big official stage did not go, and as a result, it was "reversed" by Li Shifo's shrewd "reversal". The other one is the last few petty officials before the endgame. Ma Xiaofei did not play the best order of the official combination, which eventually led to Ma Xiaofei losing half of his eyes.

Today's game, although I dare not say it in other aspects, but at least there is no mistake. Not only did he not have this mistake, but Li Shifo couldn't see it either. Therefore, calling today's plate an "official textbook" seems to be worthy of its name.

Li Xiaoqiang also has his own views on why he can create a famous game.

"I'm very happy to be able to play good chess today. I guess it's mostly a matter of mentality. There is a saying in the Go world that it is called the nameless game of chess. I would like to thank my opponent Li Shifo, probably because neither of us saw today's game as a "chess game", so we were able to leave a game of reasonable quality. ”

After answering the reporter's question, Li Xiaoqiang looked at Li Shifo. Li Shifo seemed to understand what Li Xiaoqiang meant, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Indeed, the birth of a famous game also requires chance. For example, in today's game of chess, if today is not a match, but the final of the "Fujitsu Cup" or the "Toyo Securities Cup". Will Li Xiaoqiang choose today's approach? Li Xiaoqiang asked himself, he should not take this risk, but will choose the way he is best at playing. Both himself and Li Shifo know that the competition between the two is long-term, so they don't care about the gains and losses of this city and a pool. It is precisely because both of them have a good mentality that they can play on the chessboard to their heart's content, so as to create a hand-me-down chess game together.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang didn't realize for the time being that today's game of chess is not just a "famous game", it has formed a strong impact on some of the inherent views of the entire Go community in the past.

When Li Xiaoqiang finished the interview, Li Shifo also said a few words casually. A reporter handed the microphone to Nie Whirlwind's mouth and asked him to talk about his views on the Bureau.

"The game of Go in the future may be completely different from the game of Go in our time......" When Nie Whirlwind said this, his face was full of emotion and his face was silent.

"As you can see from today's game, it's no accident that the two of them have achieved where they are now. Needless to say, Li Shifo's official level has long been well-known in the chess world. And Xiaoqiang was very early on, and he attached great importance to the second half of the game of Go. The appearance of the two of them is likely to push the second half of Go technology to a new level. The era of the second half of the game is likely to come! ”

When Nie Whirlwind said this, Li Xiaoqiang actually listened silently behind him. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang also deeply agreed with Nie Whirlwind's prediction, because this itself was confirmed in the history of his previous life. But is it enough to win in the back game alone? Li Xiaoqiang was deeply skeptical.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that many of the charms of Go are more reflected in the first half of the game. For example, in the prelude stage of Go, it is actually the best way to show the personal characteristics and style of the player. Some gorgeous tesuji and exquisite ideas in the middle game can also show the beauty of Go very well. Only in the official stage, although Li Xiaoqiang himself has always attached great importance to official technology. Many of the subtle official tricks in Go can indeed make people stunning. But it must be admitted that the official in Go requires more cold calculations, a technique with no personality and seems boring.

In later generations, many chess fans felt that the game of Go at that time looked boring and boring, and it was not even as fun as watching the previous chess. It is likely to be a side effect of "winning in the second half of the game", right?

"The various techniques in Go never exist in isolation, they should be a whole. The real game of Go should not be what it is today. A true fame requires personality. What should I do with my future Go path......"

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang felt that he had the potential to become a thinker. When the era of "winning in the second half of the game" in the world chess world is coming, I am thinking about "going against the trend". (To be continued......)

PS: I'm not in good shape, I even feel like I'm in water, I'm sorry.
