Li Xiaoqiang stayed in the capital for the Spring Festival. In this era, the smell of the New Year is still very strong. Li Xiaoqiang's life has also been well taken care of. Especially the four elders of Go, they are afraid that they will be wronged by Li Xiaoqiang.

However, Li Xiaoqiang was obviously not in the mood to taste the "New Year's flavor" of the capital, and he put all his thoughts on "defeating Nie Whirlwind".

Li Xiaoqiang knew very well in his heart that Nie Whirlwind at this time. It was at his peak, both in terms of his Go skills and his competitive state. It was all his prime. His famous "fainting" would not appear until years later.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that he seemed to be a little overwhelmed by himself. Give it a try anyway, though. Li Xiaoqiang had no other purpose, Li Xiaoqiang just wanted to see if it was possible to stop Nie Whirlwind from becoming a "chess saint"!

Is Nie Whirlwind qualified to be a chess saint?

Li Xiaoqiang believes that let's not talk about whether the chess saint value awarded by others is worthless. There is no mention of the improvement of the level of Go in later generations. Even in this era, Nie Whirlwind doesn't seem to be qualified to be this chess saint.

Nie Whirlwind's victory in the ring is indeed of great significance. It is impossible to overstate the promotion of Chinese Go. It's just that he can take any honor, as if he can't be a chess saint. The title of "Chess Saint" is supreme, and he is still a little unworthy.

Putting aside all the miscellaneous things, let's talk about it from the perspective of pure chess. If you want to be a chess master, you must at least be ahead of your own times. Is Nie Whirlwind's Go level ahead of this era? Objective evaluation, he didn't do it, he is still on the same level as Japan's six supers.

His miraculous victory in the ring was, to be honest, a certain amount of serendipity. It is precisely because of this serendipity that it has caused such a big sensation and has caused such a big impact.

It should be very objective to say that Nie Whirlwind and Liuchao are on the same level. Don't mention Cao Yanzi first, and don't mention others. Let's compare Nie Whirlwind with Mr. Lin Haifeng, is Nie Whirlwind's level higher than Mr. Lin's? I'm afraid Nie Whirlwind himself won't dare to brag. The final of the 3rd Fujitsu Cup. Lao Nie lost to Lin Haifeng. In the Sino-Japanese Tianyuan match, Lao Nie also lost to Mr. Lin in the chess match. In a chess game, there should be no reason to lose. Don't forget, Mr. Lin is much older than him!

Speaking of Nie Whirlwind as this chess saint, we can't fail to mention another celebrity in the Chinese Go world at that time. That is the main promoter of the ring competition, "Mr. Hao".

This Mr. Hao is a person in the system, and if he comes to the next generation, he should belong to the "China Sports Newspaper Group". This is the Chinese organizer of the ring competition. And Mr. Hao is the person in charge of the organizer.

What do you say about Mr. Hao? First of all, he is certainly not a bad person, he is a Go enthusiast. Certainly not a bad person. However, he has been in the system for a long time, and it is very bad to bring some habits from the system to the Go circle. He and Nie Whirlwind should be considered friends. He did a few inexplicable things, which can be said to have harmed his friend.

The first thing is that he once proposed to award a "virtuous assistant award" to Nie Whirlwind's first wife. Hehe, it's not surprising that people in the system would think like this. It is estimated that the "virtuous internal assistant study class" in later generations will learn from him.

The second thing is to promote the awarding of the title of "Chess Saint". Of course, he could only suggest that it was the National Sports Commission at that time who issued this title.

In any case, Mr. Hao did not do these two things carefully enough. He almost made his friends laughing. to the Hereafter. The mentality of chess fans is slowly maturing, and their horizons are expanding a lot, and there will be many people who think. Nie Whirlwind is a chess saint, and he seems to be really a laughing stock.

Li Xiaoqiang respects Nie Whirlwind very much. So I don't want him to become a laughing stock in the future. In this era, the people of the whole country took it for granted that Nie Whirlwind was a chess saint. Everyone's reason is simple, in this era, the ring competition must be the highest stage of Go competition. In this stage. Nie Whirlwind almost swept Japan's super-first-class masters. Since this is the case, Nie Whirlwind is of course the No. 1 in the world, and of course he is qualified to be a chess saint.

It's a pity, though. In this era, only our countrymen think so. Just like many Chinese people's understanding of the Olympic Games, in this era, Chinese people are also extremely enthusiastic about the Olympic Games. It is taken for granted that an Olympic champion represents the highest level of performance in all disciplines. When people understand what professionalism is, they don't think so. In the eyes of many Japanese, their big triple crown is much heavier than the weight of the ring.

"What can I do?"

Li Xiaoqiang knew that if someone else awarded the "Chess Saint" to Nie Whirlwind, he would definitely not refuse. First, Nie Whirlwind is very simple and has no scheming. What's more, Nie Whirlwind is very confident. In his own mind, he must be the best in the world.

It's certainly good to play Go with confidence. However, it must be admitted that if you are overconfident, your understanding of many issues will be skewed.

The Spring Festival of 88 passed like this, and Li Xiaoqiang stayed in the capital to concentrate on cultivation. While improving his Go level, he was thinking about how to make Nie Whirlwind not become a chess saint.

"Ha Luha, I said Xiaoqiang, you have worked so hard during this time, and you don't even rest for the New Year. Are you really ready to defeat Teacher Nie? ”

"Of course, I not only want to defeat Teacher Nie, I also want to defeat you. Teacher Liu slashed me twice, of course I want to find a chance to take revenge. ”

"Hahaha, good job, Xiaoqiang has a future!"

It was Yu Bin Qiduan who spoke, and he also stayed in the capital for the New Year. If Li Xiaoqiang wants to play training chess, he is not afraid of not finding an opponent. If Li Xiaoqiang can win against Nie Whirlwind, his next opponent will be Yu Bin. If you can win against Yu Bin, you can enter the finals of the celebrity battle. There is an opportunity to "take revenge" on Liu Dazhu.

Li Xiaoqiang's words are of course a joke, and no one who has heard it will take it seriously. Only Li Xiaoqiang knows what he says, and what he says is really his true words.

Truth or Nothing is often like a joke! Isn't that the case a lot of the time?

To make Nie Whirlwind not a chess saint, Li Xiaoqiang can't find any good way at all. Li Xiaoqiang thought about it, and it seemed that the only way to let Dazhu apologize in the newspaper could be used.

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang wants to use this game to set up a bet. If he used something to "stop" Nie Whirlwind first, and then he could win again. According to Nie Whirlwind's character, maybe he is really embarrassed to accept that worthless chess saint. Li Xiaoqiang is sure that he has a good heart. Although the hope of success is slim, I must give it a try. What are the consequences, Li Xiaoqiang didn't bother to think about it at all.

Li Xiaoqiang also believes that as long as he prepares carefully, he relies on his own understanding of Nie Whirlwind. Defeat Nie Whirlwind on the chessboard, even if it's Nie Whirlwind at its peak. It's not like I don't have a chance at all. As long as you have the opportunity, you must do it. Although the hope of success is less than 3 percent.

It is true to want to win Nie Whirlwind, and it is also true to want to find Liu Dazhui to take revenge. Li Xiaoqiang is YY, and it would be better if he could win a domestic championship in 88.

Li Xiaoqiang knows that the "benchmark" in his mind, Li Shifo won a domestic championship this year.

At this time, Korean Go was still Cao Yanzi's world. Their number two person is Seo Bong-so. In addition to the two of them, there is also the so-called "Challenge Top 5" in the Korean Go world. Listening to the name, you can know that they basically only have the life of "challenge". Li Shifo defeated one of them to win his first championship.

At this time, the height of Korean Go was about the same as that of China. In terms of thickness, it is worse, and their "top 5 challengers" are definitely not as good as China's "five tiger generals".

In fact, the thickness of Korean Go has always been inferior to that of China. They are better than those top players. God seems to favor Korean Go in particular, and several peerless geniuses of Go have been produced in a row.

Li Shifo began to win the championship this year. Li Xiaoqiang also set a goal for himself, considering that the thickness of Korean Go is not as good as that of China. Hopefully, I can reach the final of a domestic competition this year.

Li Xiaoqiang thinks that such a goal is not excessive.

With all kinds of wishes, Li Xiaoqiang is looking forward to the arrival of the game with Nie Whirlwind.

After the Spring Festival, of course, no one cares what Li Xiaoqiang thinks. All eyes are on Tokyo. Everyone is eagerly watching the final outcome of the ring. Li Xiaoqiang is also eagerly watching.

As in real history, when Masao Kato conceded defeat. All the Chinese cheered, and the Chinese, regardless of whether they could play Go or not, felt extremely proud at this moment.

This game of chess is a real watershed. There is a very vulgar description, which is actually the most accurate description:

"A new page has been turned in the history of Go!"

There is no doubt that in the page that has just been turned, Nie Whirlwind is the brightest star, and he is incomparable.

Li Xiaoqiang quietly waited for the brightest star. (To be continued......)
