In the 4th China-Japan Ring Championship Pioneer Battle, Li Xiaoqiang defeated Kiki Yida beautifully. It once again caused a shock in the Sino-Japanese chess world. Li Xiaoqiang's victory even overshadowed the first "Fujitsu Cup" that was about to be held. Although it was not explicitly stated before the game, it was in the hearts of many people. This game is regarded as the "future battle" of Chinese and Japanese Go.

Although Yitian Kiji's age is about the same as Ma Xiaofei and Qian Yuping. But in the Japanese Go world, he is a complete small character. That's a "rookie". Of course, due to his prominence among young chess players in Japan. It can be called a "rookie representative". As for the first two Chinese chess players, although they are known as the young "double walls" of the Chinese chess world. However, he is already a general, and he has captured the flag in many major competitions. It seems inappropriate to call people "rookies" again.

It just so happened that Li Xiaoqiang was born, and the hat of "rookie representative" naturally fell on his head. In the previous ring competition, although Li Xiaoqiang's performance was also "amazing". However, everyone praised Li Xiaoqiang's "genius" more. Think he's level out of his age. and will not regard Li Xiaoqiang as a real master.

And after this game, some people have already begun to revise their opinions. Indeed, judging from the content of this game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang basically defeated his opponent, and in the whole game of chess, Yitian basically had no obvious chance. began to fall behind from the prelude, and finally found a counterattack opportunity in the second half of the game, but was crushed by a stronger counterattack.

"Li Xiaoqiang's level is higher than that of Yida Kiki. Even if this game of chess is accidental, even if Yitian doesn't play well. At the very least, Li Xiaoqiang's real level will not be lower than him! ”

After watching this game of chess, many people have such thoughts. It should be said that such thoughts are normal. It is this kind of "very normal thought" that will raise a strange feeling when everyone reflects it.

To know Lu Dao, Yitian is a seventh-stage occupation. So has Li Xiaoqiang really reached such a high level? If he really already has such a high level. Then this is basically a "phenomenon".

In modern Go, the 13-year-old "master" is simply incredible. The closest to Li Xiaoqiang is only Master Wu Qingyuan Wu. However, when he was 13 years old, he only had three dans. Even if it is underestimated, it is a maximum of five paragraphs. There can be no seven paragraphs......

In the minds of many people, it is no longer appropriate to use the word "genius" to describe Li Xiaoqiang. At the very least, something like "super genius" or "once in a century" would be more appropriate. Although I heard that there seems to be a person named Lee Seok-fo in Korea, it is said that the level of Go is already very high. However, many people prefer to believe that it may be that Fujisawa Hideyuki, an old god stick, is bragging. It is more likely that he deliberately found someone to be a foil for Li Xiaoqiang.

Everyone thinks that Li Xiaoqiang is a "super genius", but no one mentions the word "genius" in front of him. Because everyone has been in contact with Li Xiaoqiang for a long time, they don't know what Lu Dao is for, Li Xiaoqiang seems to be very disgusted by others saying that he is a genius.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang only needs to hear someone say that he is a Go genius. That must have been very awkward. To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang is the most bottomless. In fact, it is his own talent for Go. It is precisely because he has no bottom that he does not dare to relax for a moment on things like the basic skills of Go.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that a real Go master must have something unique of his own. Li Xiaoqiang was depressed to find that he had been reborn for a long time. The level of Go has improved a lot, but it seems that there is really nothing that is truly unique.

From this time, Li Shifo has begun to form his own unique chess style. And themselves. Many new theories and new techniques of Go in later generations. In fact, it has not been fully digested. Of course, there are some things that I use more rationally and skillfully. After being used in actual combat, it is even more powerful.

But so. After all, these things are not his original, just because they are not original, Li Xiaoqiang feels inferior......

On the second day of the competition, Li Xiaoqiang began to ponder his "original" problem again. saw Li Xiaoqiang looking like he was "out of the world". No one came to disturb him. Anyway, everyone is not surprised by his appearance. The ring match is going to be played every other day, and everyone thinks he is preparing for the next one.

To be honest, for this tournament. In addition to preparing for the game with Yitian, Li Xiaoqiang didn't think about the next game. As long as Yitian is beaten down and he is not given a chance to win 6 consecutive victories, his "task" will be completed. Before the start of the competition, Li Xiaoqiang had always thought like this.

This is not to say that Li Xiaoqiang does not pay attention to the next games. In fact, as long as there is an opportunity to compete with masters, Li Xiaoqiang cherishes it very much. It's just that I didn't prepare as many routines as I did in the last ring competition.

Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know much about his next opponent, Awaji Xiu 39 Dan. Awaji Kudan is now about 40 years old. According to the growth law of Japanese chess players, this age is exactly the maturity of chess skills. He is also a "strong nine" in Japan, and he is at the same level as Yamashiro Hiroshi Kudan. He has also entered the "Big Triple Crown" challenge tournament and has not won any decent championships.

In the 90s, Awaji Kudan seemed to have appeared on the international stage many times on behalf of Japanese Go. The best result was to reach the top 4 of the World Tournament. There doesn't seem to be much brilliance in terms of results, but being able to appear on the international stage many times also represents his strength.

In the international arena, Awaji Kudan is most famous not for his achievements, but for one of his "earth-shattering spoons". That should be the 3rd or 4th Ying Cup. In his match with Ma Xiaofei, by the time of the final game, Awaji Jiudan had already won the game. When filling in the last single official, he suddenly tightened himself up and let Ma Xiaofei remove a large piece of chess pieces......

Such a mistake is like when playing chess. Someone else's step is not a "general" who kills, and Mr. Awaji does not see it. The "veteran" was checkmate alive like that. After Ma Xiaofei "picked up" this game of chess at that time, he was very embarrassed. After the game, he also asked someone: "I want to invite Mr. Awaji to dinner." However, I don't know if Mr. Awaji went or not.

Li Xiaoqiang's understanding of his opponent is limited to so much. I don't know anything more, his chess style, his characteristics, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know anything. It's just that the nine sections of Zhilu Road Awaji are known as "strong chess style". What kind of fierce method in the end. That's not the bottom at all.

Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that he may not know as much about Mr. Awaji as he does about himself. Either way. This series of performances of their own. It's normal to get someone else's attention. At this time, it should be normal for one's chess to be repeatedly studied by opponents. There is nothing strange about it. How much they can know, then Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know what to do.

"In the next game, it seems that there is still a bit of a taste of the enemy's darkness and my light......"

Li Xiaoqiang stretched his waist, and his heart was a little happy. Of course, of course, he has a bit of "stinky beauty" in his heart. In the world of Go, in fact, strength is respected. Only masters will be analyzed and studied. to the level of South Korea's second Li and Gu Dali. Whose chess game wasn't studied under a microscope?

Thinking that his chess may also be "analyzed and studied" by others, it is normal for Li Xiaoqiang to be stinky and beautiful. Let's be honest. Li Xiaoqiang actually wants to know what others say about his chess. Especially the "objective evaluation", he really wants to know the Tao in his heart.

My Go has progressed to the point where I have now, and in addition to my own efforts, the methods I use should be very effective. However, Li Xiaoqiang knows very well that he has progressed from "professional primary" to "professional intermediate". Their own methods have proven to work. Is it possible to advance to the "advanced profession" by relying only on this method? Can you reach the "top of the profession" or even the "grandmaster" realm?

Li Xiaoqiang has no bottom at all!

However, this is also normal, if there is a clear path to becoming a "generation of grandmasters". Can such a "grandmaster" still be called a grandmaster? In the history of mankind, no matter in that field, the teachings of each "grandmaster" are unique. No Grandmaster's path has been successfully replicated. Not a single one!

"Hahaha, Xiaoqiang, you're finally in a daze. I don't dare to come and disturb you...... Come and help me see, what is the title of my article? I'm surprised, I think the title of my article is obviously very good. Why does our editor-in-chief always look down on it? Well...... That's an old-fashioned ......."

Of course, it was reporter Zhang Da who came over. Li Xiaoqiang took the manuscript paper in his hand and looked at it:

"The 4th Ring Tournament has begun. The Chinese pioneers beat the Japanese pioneers beautifully"

This is the positive title of the article, and such a title, of course, can be regarded as a regular regularity, and it is basically in line with the facts.

But when Li Xiaoqiang saw the subtitle of the article. He looked at Zhang Zhidong with a little crying and laughing. The subtitle reads:

"Hit Li Xiaoqiang's three wonderful hands on the spot!"

"Li Xiaoqiang's three wonderful hands"? Did you make so many good moves in this game? Li Xiaoqiang was completely confused. When he quickly skimmed through the article, Li Xiaoqiang spoke:

"I said reporter Zhang Da, your article is too exaggerated. I admit it. My third step is "touching" a bit of a good hand. The first step of "touching" is barely a bit unexpected. So what about Step 2 "Bump"? That's a very common method, and you're just using that step to "touch" to make up the numbers. I advise you to change it. Of course you don't care, but I, Li Datian, can't afford to lose that person, isn't it ......"

"Hey, your second step is a good touch. You don't know what to do, but the second step in the laboratory is highly regarded by you. Everyone agreed that although the means of hitting the situation was ordinary, it was the only way to ensure the advantage of the situation at that time. Of course, other options are possible, but they are not as aggressive as this move. Everyone said that this move is the embodiment of your robber Go. Although the means are ordinary, the ideas are not simple. A move with such a rich connotation is certainly a good move. Besides, you can't make a third move without a second step......"

Zhang Zhidong was talking endlessly, and Li Xiaoqiang was embarrassed to interrupt him. Indeed, people are obviously patting their own ass. Li Xiaoqiang thinks that if he simply and rudely interrupts others, he will appear to be hypocritical. Hypocritical things, Li Xiaoqiang can't do it no matter what. So I had to let reporter Zhang Da finish praising himself. After Zhang Zhidong finally finished speaking. Li Xiaoqiang spoke:

"I said Zhang Da reporter, I advise you to change it. Believe it or not, if a title like yours gets into the hands of your editor-in-chief, it shouldn't be passable. “

"For what?"

"Think about it yourself, what Li Xiaoqiang's three wonderful hands? In the history of Go, who else is known as the Three Masters? Do you want people to say that I don't know how thick the sky is? ”

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, Zhang Zhidong was silent for a while. Indeed, in the history of Go. When it comes to the "three wonderful moves", it is natural to think of the "ancient and modern unparalleled wonderful moves" of the ancient Japanese chess saint Zhanghe. Compared with the current Li Xiaoqiang and the chess master, it is obviously a bit inappropriate.

With a title like "Three Wonderful Hands", it seems to be comparing Li Xiaoqiang with Zhanghe. This should be a pretty good gimmick. If it comes to the future, I am afraid that many news media will rush to use such a headline. However, in this era, many news media are still a bit disciplined. Even in later generations, the Go media is very disciplined compared to other media.

Li Xiaoqiang doesn't want this gimmick, in fact, there is another reason. In the later generations of Korean Go, a young chess player named Song Tae-kun came out. When he first debuted. He is also a Go genius. Known as the "Young Hero" by the Korean chess world, once in a match with Cao Yanzi, he played what the media called "Taikun Three Wonderful Moves" and defeated Cao Yanzi in one fell swoop.

The result? The "young hero" of South Korean Go, he disappeared as fast as he rose. There are such negative examples here, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't want to touch the moldy head of the "three wonderful hands".

Li Xiaoqiang doesn't want to get involved with things like "gimmicks", but gimmicks are indeed everywhere. Zhang Zhidong no longer dwelled on the topic of "three wonderful hands", but he soon found a new gimmick:

"Ha Luha, I said Xiaoqiang. You've now won Yitian. I guess you'll be more scrappy in the second set. Well, that's definitely the case. I can't wait to see tomorrow's show. ”

Li Xiaoqiang was a little inexplicable, he really couldn't figure out when he faced Mr. Awaji. What does it take to be "more scrappy". Isn't this just an ordinary professional game? People Awaji Kudan didn't offend themselves.

Seeing Li Xiaoqiang's confused expression, Zhang Zhidong seemed to be even more confused:

"Hey, I said Xiaoqiang, you ancient chess heir. I don't know who the master of the Kudo-Awaji Kudan is, right? ”

"Is his master very powerful? What do I want to know about the Tao of Lu......

"Hehe, his master is not very good, but what? I think you're a bit of a knowledgeable person. At the very least, your master must know the Tao. You, the heir of ancient chess, should not forget his master. His master is Mrs. Ito from Japan. ”

"Oh! ……”

At this time, Li Xiaoqiang knew what Zhang Zhidong meant. The "old lady Ito" he is talking about is the fifth dan of Tomoe Ito back then. At the beginning of liberation, the old Japanese lady who swept the Chinese chess players. At that time, the Chinese chess players who appeared were actually still used to playing "Zazi Go". From this point of view, they are the descendants of the "ancient Chinese chess".

It is said that these old chess players often have their hands shaking when they play chess with her. That scene is really embarrassing. Indeed, it is difficult to win against such a non-top female chess player. The humiliation is hard to describe.

According to Li Xiaoqiang's description, everyone agreed that "Master Li Xiaoqiang" should be of the same generation as these old Chinese chess players. For this humiliating defeat, as long as you are a Go person, you must empathize. And Li Xiaoqiang as a "descendant of ancient chess"......

At that moment, Li Xiaoqiang had already figured out what Zhang Zhidong meant. thought that he actually had a task of "avenging his master". Li Xiaoqiang couldn't cry or laugh again. He knew very well in his heart that his "real master" was actually the theory and concept of Go in later generations. I do want to absorb nutrients from ancient Chinese chess, but so far, the effect seems to be very limited. From this point of view, Li Xiaoqiang believes that he is not worthy of being called a "descendant of ancient chess"

Although he thinks he is not worthy, he can't show it. That's the bad thing about lies, after telling a lie once, you have to tell a lie 100 times to justify it. What Li Xiaoqiang can do is actually to make this "lie" become the "truth". If he can do this, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that he will not suffer anymore. This is also the reason why he desperately tries to understand ancient chess. He was also willing to do it. Ancient Chinese chess is a very rich treasure, and he has benefited greatly from it.

"Hehe......"

Faced with such a situation, Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what Lu Dao said. I had to use the legendary "Hehe Dafa". Zhang Zhidong saw Li Xiaoqiang looking absent-minded. I was a little reluctant in my heart, for tomorrow's "good show". He decided to add some fierce material, and he used the agitation method:

"It's normal that you can't avenge your master. You've improved your skills now, but it seems that you're using other Japanese Go theories. Even Mr. Sakata said that your few clever moves are actually the essence of Japanese Go......"

"Oh, is that really what Mr. Sakata said?"

"Of course, isn't your first step a clever hand to use someone else's "hand cutting"? This thing is the essence of Japanese Go. ”

"Step 1 I admit, but what about Step 3?"

"Mr. Sakata said that if you can think of this trick, the key is to play the sub-effect of that "thorn". You can't deny that. And the efficiency of playing every piece is not what Japanese Go has always emphasized? ”

"Haha But let me tell you clearly, that's why I don't think I'm a genius at these two moves. At least not very high-level skill. Hey hey ......"

Seeing Li Xiaoqiang's disapproving look. Zhang Zhidong "succeeded in his treacherous scheme":

"Say, you go on......"

Although he knew what Zhang Zhidong meant, Li Xiaoqiang did not "fight Ha Luha" this time. His eyes were blazing, he stared at Zhang Zhidong, and he said seriously:

"You must take a closer look tomorrow to see how ancient Chinese chess understands "sub-effect". To tell you the truth, the understanding of the sub-effect of ancient Chinese chess is much more profound than that of Japanese Go. It's just that not many people notice. I don't necessarily win against Mr. Awaji, that's because I'm not good enough. It does not mean that the theory of ancient Chinese chess is not advanced. Japanese Go has maintained its sense of superiority for hundreds of years, and it is time for a change......"

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang left without looking back. I don't know where he got the confidence to dare to say such wild words.

Li Xiaoqiang doesn't think he's talking wildly. In later generations, many people believed that the biggest shortcoming of Japanese Go was actually the misunderstanding of "sub-effect".

In this day and age, everyone plays Japanese Go, and Mr. Awaji is certainly no exception. Li Xiaoqiang made one or two moves to "understand more deeply", anyway, he himself thought it was normal. Didn't feel like I was bragging at all.

Zhang Zhidong looked at Li Xiaoqiang's back, and this time it was his turn to have bright eyes.

"What Can I See Tomorrow......" (To be continued......
