"Iyama's success today is due to his own talent and hard work, and my role in this is actually very limited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo。。 ”

In the "National Individual Competition", Yuta Iyama locked the championship one round ahead of schedule after defeating Chen Xiaoqiang.

A Japanese won the Chinese championship, and this incident really caused a lot of repercussions. In the individual competition field, which is usually cold, many reporters came to interview the matter at the closing time.

After the award ceremony, Li Xiaoqiang led Jingshan to appear in front of reporters. Everyone was supposed to come to interview the new champion, but Iyama, a simple young man, knew something, and there was no other language than to say "excited", "happy", and "thankful".

In the end, it seemed that Li Xiaoqiang was being interviewed.

Jingshan's championship will naturally cause a lot of doubts, but fortunately, the chess academy is properly prepared, what is the saying? This is called "grasping the guidance of public opinion in a timely manner", so at the press conference, although Li Xiaoqiang also heard reporters raise questions in this regard, on the whole there was little noise.

Interestingly, when the reporters asked at the end, the main topic became "Li Xiaoqiang and his disciples".

Li Xiaoqiang is naturally very proud of this. Indeed, as Chen Xiaoqiang challenged "Tian Yuan" and Jingshan won the championship in this "individual competition", Li Xiaoqiang's disciples gradually stood out among young people and became an eye-catching presence in the Chinese chess world and even the world chess world.

However, when a reporter complimented Li Xiaoqiang, a "famous teacher", Li Xiaoqiang made the opening statement.

This is not Li Xiaoqiang's modesty, this is Li Xiaoqiang's true words.

To tell the truth, Li Xiaoqiang snare these outstanding young people, he just enjoys a kind of cheating pleasure---- a kind of cheating pleasure unique to reborn.

Li Xiaoqiang never thought that because of his appearance and taking these young people as apprentices, he could make these young people stronger than in his previous life.

In other words, Li Xiaoqiang never considered himself a "famous teacher".

Are there any "famous teachers" in the Go world? Of course there is. However, Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that the "famous teachers" in Go are often some amateur top to professional low-level chess players, such as Liu Er's level. At a higher level, there is no longer a so-called "famous teacher".

Why? This is actually determined by one of the characteristics of Go, that is:

"For the most part, Go is a game with no correct solution."

If you know and understand this, you should know why Li Xiaoqiang thinks this way.

Let's take Li Xiaoqiang's eldest disciple Chen Xiaoqiang as an example. In his previous life, Chen Xiaoqiang was famous in the chess world for his unique "ditch flow". After arriving in this world, although Li Xiaoqiang has accepted him as an apprentice, his current style is still the same, and "Chen Digou" is still the same "Chen Digou".

Can Li Xiaoqiang not know the limitations and narrowness of this style? Of course Li Xiaoqiang knows. But can Li Xiaoqiang forcibly change his style?

First: Li Xiaoqiang thinks he can't do it. Second: Li Xiaoqiang did not dare to do this.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that for a chess player, 'playing what he wants to play' is always the most important. Take Liu Dazhui, the former "heavenly killer" in the Chinese chess world, for a while, Liu Dazhui did not perform well. Later, someone said to him: You are too good to kill, the chess is not enough "overall situation", if you can get rid of this problem, I believe you must still have room for improvement...

Liu Dazhui knew what his problem was, and he also believed this sentence, so he consciously wanted to make some changes. As a result, even Liu Dazhui himself was, during the period when he wanted to make changes, how to play that chess and how to feel awkward, and the results were naturally even more messy. It wasn't until later that he "returned to his true colors" that his results gradually improved.

In the same way, since Liu Dazhui is like this, can Chen Xiaoqiang be an exception? Let's assume that Li Xiaoqiang can forcibly reverse Chen Xiaoqiang's chess style and make "Chen Digou" become "Chen Daqi", so can you see a stronger Chen Xiaoqiang? Or watch him slip into mediocrity?

No one knew what would happen, so in an unknowable situation, Li Xiaoqiang would never dare to try this change. He would rather see the sharp "Chen Digou" all the time than see a mediocre "Chen Dahui".

This is the reason why Li Xiaoqiang never thinks of himself as a "famous teacher".

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang's acceptance of these young people as apprentices cannot be said to be completely useless. Li Xiaoqiang believes that his role is mainly the following two points: first, to create better conditions for these young people---- Jingshan, who has just won the championship, should be a better example. The second and most important point is to give these disciples a strong psychological hint--- look, I was accepted by Li Xiaoqiang as an inner disciple, everyone knows that Mr. Li has a unique vision, it can be seen that my Go talent must be very good...

These young people are already very good, and there is no need for Li Xiaoqiang to prove it. Li Xiaoqiang just hopes that after he appears, he can provide them with a better platform and let them develop better along their respective paths. Just like the disciples of Mr. Mu Tani, the styles are very different, just like the disciples of Mr. Quan Jialong. Then Li Xiaoqiang is enough to comfort his life.

"Xiao Chen's sharpness and sensitivity to the field, Xiao Zhou's balanced atmosphere, Xiao Pu's heaviness and patience, plus my two new disciples, one is extremely powerful and the other is full of tenacity. Let's see, if someone compares me Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Mu Gu Minoru in the future, there will be some "six supers" and "eight supers" under the door, please don't be surprised... ”

Just when Li Xiaoqiang was proudly bragging to the reporter, a reporter suddenly asked:

"What about Iyama? Xiaoqiang, why did you miss your disciple who just won the championship? ”

"Jingshan...

"I still remember that you once said that among your disciples, Jing Shan may be the most talented, so what do you think of this disciple? And what are his characteristics? ”

Li Xiaoqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Jingshan's talent may be the most outstanding", of course Li Xiaoqiang could not say it in public, he may have said this kind of thing when chatting with reporter Zhang Da and others in private. But with Li Xiaoqiang's current rivers and lakes, many of his remarks are no longer divided between public and private.

"The characteristics of Iyama... Li Xiaoqiang thought for a while and shook his head:

"I can't talk about the characteristics of Jingshan, I can only tell you like this, what distinguishes Jingshan from my other disciples is that he has his own unique things, and it has always been very strange that even I can't explain the unique things."

"It's because you can't even tell him that you think he's the most talented, right?"

Li Xiaoqiang pondered for a while: "Maybe... Right. ”

The reporters brushed and recorded what Li Xiaoqiang just said, a trait that even Li Xiaoqiang couldn't explain, which is of course a high evaluation.

"Iyama's victory is also the completion of the agreement with the Japanese side, and he is about to return to China, do you have any requirements or expectations for him?"

Hearing a reporter ask this question, Li Xiaoqiang finally had the opportunity to pretend to be a god stick again. He proudly held up two fingers:

"Yes, of course, since you just talked about requirements and expectations, I just have two points I want to say here, the requirements and expectations are the same, as my disciple of Li Xiaoqiang, I hope that after returning to China, Jingshan will be able to rule the Japanese chess world as a matter of course, please remember that this is not my expectation of him, but my request for him."

"Ahh Is dominating the Japanese chess scene just a requirement for him? So how far does it take to dominate the Japanese chess world? ”

Li Xiaoqiang laughed: "Mr. Zhao Zhixun once gathered the "big three crowns" together, some people think that this is even if he dominates the Japanese chess world, since he is my disciple of Li Xiaoqiang, of course I hope he can go further, if he can gather the seven major titles in one and achieve an unprecedented "full crown hegemony", then it is not in vain that he deliberately went to China to learn chess. ”

No reporter cared about Li Xiaoqiang's bold remarks at this time, and it was only many years later that some reporters recalled this interview.

“。。。 Decade! I would like this period to be ten years ... ”

"What you just said was a request, so what are the expectations? Do you expect him to dominate the world chess world like you in the future? ”

Li Xiaoqiang laughed again: "Dominate the entire world chess world? It depends on whether my other disciples agree or not, so I won't say such things. So what I expect from him is ... Speaking of which, Li Xiaoqiang put away his smile:

"My expectation for him is: I hope that he can carry the dignity of Japanese Go in the future."

Li Xiaoqiang's remarks spread to Japan and caused great repercussions in the Japanese chess world. When the man who "carried the dignity of Japanese Go" finally returned home, everyone watched closely to see what the young man could do.

Iyama started his journey without mentioning it, and his eyes returned to the current world chess world. At this time, the annual world championships have reached the final moment, and the world chess world is full of good performances.

In addition to the "Fujitsu Cup" that has ended, the "World Chess Holy War" has reached the stage of "Challenger Decisive Battle", and the competition between Li Shishi and Zhang Xu has attracted many eyeballs. In addition, the "Samsung Cup" has reached the top 4 stage, and the "LG Cup" has reached the top 8 stage. In these two games, Li Xiaoqiang is still alive. In other words, the game lost to Zhang Xu in the "Fujitsu Cup" is Li Xiaoqiang's only defeat in the international arena so far this year.

One day in late September, Li Xiaoqiang was preparing to go to South Korea to participate in the semifinals of the "Samsung Cup".

"Dali, are you ready? It's said that in this format, you should have a good chance, and I'll see if you have that ability. ”

Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in the semifinals of this "Samsung Cup" is Gu Dali. The reason why Li Xiaoqiang said this is because since the beginning of this "Samsung Cup", the game time has been shortened to 2 hours per side.

The "era of rapid chess" in the world chess world has finally arrived. (To be continued.) )
