"It's amazing, Kato is really amazing now, he just won Li Shifo not long ago, and this time he picked Xiaoqiang off the horse, everyone said, these Japanese veterans can maintain such a good competitive state. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

"This Xiaoqiang, after all, is still a bit underestimated, now he pays the price for his carelessness...

"Hehe, it's good that I lost at this time, so it's not a bad thing from a certain point of view, Xiaoqiang can at least learn some lessons from it...

"If it's just a lesson, it's good, as soon as you lose this game of chess, the pressure on Xiaoqiang will be great, and there will be no room for any mistakes in the future. He also has Liu Changhe and the Korean kid in his group, the Korean kid shouldn't be able to threaten Xiaoqiang now, but Da Liu is still very threatening, don't forget, although Xiaoqiang's historical record against Liu Changhyuk is also one-sided, but Liu Changhyuk has also blocked Xiaoqiang in the World Series many times... ”

In the first game of the round of 16 of the first "World Chess Holy War", when the game was going on until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, several team leaders of the Chinese Go management team were chatting, and the content of their conversation was exactly what everyone was talking about in the arena at present. Li Xiaoqiang lost!

In the first game of the round of 16, Li Xiaoqiang lost to Masao Kato. Li Xiaoqiang not only lost, but was the first to lose in the 8 games that were being played. The game had just been played at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only more than 120 chess moves in the overall situation, and Li Xiaoqiang had already conceded defeat.

"Let's go, see them go back."

Chen Chaoyue, Wang Lunan, Team Leader Hua, Nie Xuanfeng and Zhang Da reporters came to the chess table of this game of chess to listen to the review of the two players.

"Li Sang is too underestimated, looking down on us old guys, so let me pick up a plate by luck."

Kato saw Lao Nie and others coming over, and skillfully laughed with everyone. And after losing the chess, Li Xiaoqiang's face was flushed:

"Where, Mr. is still powerful, I have nothing to say about losing this chess...

In today's game, there are elements of Li Xiaoqiang's underestimation of the enemy, but Mr. Kato's excellent performance is the main reason for his victory.

Li Xiaoqiang's light enemy is mainly reflected in the prologue stage, his one-step casual exchange revealed a flaw, and Mr. Kato instantly seized the opportunity, but a not too difficult "abandoned child bag to collect" Tesuji made Li Xiaoqiang miserable. It was originally a chess game in which the two sides "ran against each other", but it became Li Xiaoqiang's unilateral attack.

In fact, since that time, Li Xiaoqiang's situation has fallen behind, and later, although Li Xiaoqiang tried his best to turn over the river and the sea, it was still to no avail.

"This move, Mr. Kato's move, did you think of it in actual combat?"

During the review, Lao Nie pointed to a hand of chess played by Mr. Kato and asked Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly. What Nie Whirlwind said was the decisive hand in this game of chess, which was a hidden and subtle tesuji, and it was precisely because Mr. Kato played this chess move that Li Xiaoqiang stood up immediately.

How so? During the game, Li Xiaoqiang actually saw this move, but at that time, the situation was no longer the case, and Li Xiaoqiang's only chance to win was to count on Mr. Kato not to count this move. Therefore, Lao Nie now asked himself, "Have you seen it in actual combat", Li Xiaoqiang was slightly embarrassed, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.

"In such a complicated situation, Mr. Kato can still play such a hidden method, it is really not a killer's true character, this move allows us to appreciate the style of the "Heavenly Evil Star"... ”

In the later review, everyone basically revolves around Tesuji, and in this, everyone can't help but praise Mr. Kato a few words. Perhaps because of the win, Mr. Kato was not modest.

"To tell you the truth, in recent years, I really feel like I've go, not only do I have a deeper understanding of Go, but I can often play chess that satisfies me. For example, like today's game of chess... ”

There are a lot of professional chess players who think they are better when they are older than when they were younger. Fujisawa Hideyuki said that he "didn't know how to play Go until he was 50 years old." When Li Shifo was 40 years old, he also said that he "knew more than when he was 30 years old." That's what happened. Therefore, everyone didn't care about Mr. Kato's words, and reporter Zhang Da even asked a funny question:

"Then what is the secret of Mr. Kato's chess?"

No one paid attention to Kato's previous words, but his answer to this question aroused the interest of many people.

"The secret of my chess game is very simple, in recent years I have only done two things: one is to study Li Sang's chess scores, and the other is to study the ancient scores of your country, I think this should be the reason why I can still play good chess now."

"Oh?"

Mr. Kato said that it is normal for him to look at Li Xiaoqiang's chess scores, after all, it is Li Xiaoqiang who won today, and it is understandable that he is talking politely, and secondly, Li Xiaoqiang, as the first person in today's chess world, his chess scores are naturally the focus of all professional chess players. However, Mr. Kato actually said that watching the ancient Chinese score play chess is a bit unexpected by everyone. Among them, especially Chen Chaoyue, he asked with a little surprise:

"Mr. Kato is reading those ancient Chinese books?"

"It's mainly your country's Danghu Ten Bureau... Kato turned his head to Chen Chaoyue and explained with a smile:

"This is mainly because of Li Sang, he gave me an exam question back then, boasting that your country's Danghu Ten Bureau, I can't comprehend the full meaning within a year or two. It's really worthy of the name.,In the past few years, I've been thinking about it carefully.,I did benefit a lot from it.,I can't say that I fully understand it.,But these sages' methods did give me a lot of inspiration.。。。 ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled secretly in his heart, he only then remembered that many years ago, he did fool Mr. Kato with "Danghu 3", but then again, if you have to find a Japanese chess player to study "Danghu", then Masao Kato may be the most suitable person.

Because when it came to Chinese ancient genealogy, Chen Chaoyue began to talk endlessly, he pulled Mr. Kato to talk non-stop, exchanging each other's experiences, and for a while he put Li Xiaoqiang aside.

"If only I had studied these games 20 years earlier... If it could be 20 years earlier, the world chess saint, I also have the ambition to compete... ”

This was the last thing Mr. Kato said when the two were talking, and when he said this, there was a trace of loneliness and unwillingness in his eyes. Indeed, although Mr. Kato won against Li Xiaoqiang today, with his current age in his 50s, even he knows very well in his heart that if he wants to win the championship in this competition, the possibility is very small.

"Where, where, since Mr. Kato can cut Li Xiaoqiang off the horse, then he has a chance of winning against any chess player, I wish you continued good results in the following games...

At the end of the conversation, Chen Chaoyue said to Masao Kato.

"The world is in chaos, Xiaoqiang, your group is completely in chaos in the world...

Because there was still a game ahead, just as everyone was about to leave, reporter Zhang Da, who had gone to other places to "inquire about the military situation", ran back. Another match in the same group as Li Xiaoqiang is Liu Changhyuk vs Lee Stone. Now since reporter Zhang Da talks about "chaos in the world", it should be...

As expected, in another game in Li Xiaoqiang's group, it was Li Shishi who defeated Liu Changhe. There were 2 upsets in the same group.

"Hehe, this chess game is a bit interesting, now your group, the qualifying situation is really hard to say."

When everyone left, reporter Zhang Da said to Li Xiaoqiang.

"That's right, the current qualifying situation is indeed confusing, but fortunately, one thing is relatively clear."

"What's clearer?"

"What is more clear is that after all, your own destiny is still in your own hands."

Li Xiaoqiang is right, since there is no draw in the Go game, then in such a system, losing a game of chess is not the end of the world, and you don't even need to look at people's faces, as long as you play the following games well, as long as you are angry, then losing a game of chess has no impact on the promotion.

After the first round, there is a day off and the second round continues. The matchup situation in the second round is as follows: the winner of the first round matches is against the winner, the loser is against the loser, and the winner of the second consecutive match directly advances to the top 8, and the loser of the second consecutive match is eliminated directly. Then in the third round, there is only one set of matches, which is played by two one-win and one-loser, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated.

Specific to Li Xiaoqiang's group, it is now Mr. Kato and Li Shishi who are the first to compete for a qualifying place, and Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhyuk will fight for a "resurrection" seat.

This is a game that cannot be lost again, so compared to the first round, the second round is suddenly tense.

After all, Liu Changhe is just an "assassin", with Xiao Qiang's "chess style restraint theory", his flexible and skillful type just restrains a power type like Da Liu, so once Xiao Qiang is alert, then Liu Changhe's assassin skills will be useless. So in today's game of chess, Xiaoqiang's victory is also reasonable... ”

When the game between Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhe was about to end, Team Leader Hua, who was in charge of explaining the game, summed up the game with such a sentence.

In the second round of the round of 16 of the first "World Chess Holy War", Li Xiaoqiang defeated Liu Changhe and retained the opportunity to advance to the top 8 for himself, while Liu Changhe, ranked 5th in the world, was eliminated.

On the other side, Mr. Masao Kato continued his excellent form, defeating the still relatively immature Li Shishi to break into the last eight of this group.

Veterans in their 50s are admirable.

After the two rounds of matches, Mr. Kato broke into the top 8 with Li Shifo, Ma Xiaofei and Chang Rensheng. Yoo Chang-hyuk, Seo Bong-so, Ahun and Kobayashi Satoru were eliminated. There are 8 players left who will continue to work hard for the last 4 qualifying spots.

And Li Xiaoqiang's opponent is Li Shishi, who is the youngest surviving chess player in the tournament so far, known as "Korean Li Xiaoqiang".

This is the second time the two have met after the last Li Xiaoqiang vs the world's strongest new talent match.

"Interesting, interesting, just lost to the old one, it can't be lost to the little one, right? I remember that Li Shishi once said: Give him another two years. Xiaoqiang, is there any two years now? ”

"Not yet..." Li Xiaoqiang smiled at reporter Zhang Da:

"It's only been a little over a year now, so...

"So what?"

"So I can't lose now... (To be continued.) )
