Li Xiaoqiang came to Qiancheng again.

For more than a year, the family has become more accustomed to Li Xiaoqiang's frequent outings. Even the country has been out, Qiancheng? Is that still a way out?

Like last year, Zhao Dabao is coming again. This time, the resistance was much smaller, but it is unknown whether Zhao Dabao had privately signed an unequal treaty with his mother again.

Qiancheng formed two teams with 8 official members. Most of the participants are still from Qiancheng. Of course, this time, the Metallurgical Machinery Factory did not form a separate team, and several masters of the Metallurgical Plant naturally represented Qiancheng in the competition. In order to be cautious, the Municipal Chess Association also gathered potential chess players from the following counties and cities. For example, Li Xiaoqiang saw Shangfeng Zeng Delong, who ranked 10th in last year's competition.

How the city itself is grouped has not yet been determined. The old chess king Qian Jianmin carried forward democracy and gathered more than 10 Go elites in the city together before the game. Everyone, you and I will discuss it word by word. Li Xiaoqiang was also dragged to participate in the seminar.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has no ideas of his own. However, because of his "background", he has a natural sense of closeness with amateur chess players, and he is very willing to get together with everyone and listen to everyone's chat.

In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang was not familiar with Qiancheng's amateur Go world. He also did not participate in the Go tournament in the city of Qiancheng. The first competition was a county competition in the second year of high school, and the third year of high school was definitely not available. Then I went to college and went to work. It's all in the field. I have no contact with the Qiancheng Go world.

However, there are a few chess friends Li Xiaoqiang who still know each other, not only do they know, but some are also more impressive. For example, in the last game, the third stage of the Qiancheng team, the young chess player Liu Jianguo.

In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang had many opportunities to travel due to the nature of his work. Before there was no Internet, Li Xiaoqiang liked to visit places to play chess whenever he went. It's not easy to find overall. However, a place to play chess in the city of Qiancheng was found.

In the mid-to-late 90s, many of Li Xiaoqiang's relatives and friends were in Qiancheng. He also had more opportunities and time to go to the city of piety. In those days, there was a pretty good place to play chess in the city of Qiancheng. The venue is hung with the sign of the Municipal Chess Association, and the daily operator is an old chess champion in Ganyuan Province.

Li Xiaoqiang ran to that place for the first time. The first impression is "big" and "very big". That place is still on the top 4th floor of a hotel in the old commercial center of the city. It has an area of more than 300 square meters. It's no problem to set up 50 chess tables. It's also very lively there. Of course, like many chess houses, there are many people who play cards in it.

However, there doesn't seem to be mahjong tiles in that place, and they all play cards. Overall, 5 to 6 percent of people play cards, and 3 to 4 percent play Go. There are also about 1 in 10 people who play chess. I heard that there was also chess, but Li Xiaoqiang had never seen anyone play there.

That place usually operates externally, and the Municipal Chess Association also puts it in that place if there are any competitions. Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know the specific situation, but it is estimated that it is a bit semi-governmental. It seems to be cheap to get there. Once inside, the old chess champion will help you make a cup of tea, and you can stay for 2 yuan a day.

That old chess champion is a warm person, and when you get there, you'll be there to help you out. Especially those who play Go, newcomers who don't have a suitable opponent. He will try it out himself, and he is an amateur beginner in Go. However, his vision is quite accurate, and he can often help you arrange suitable opponents. Interestingly, you can play Go, but if you ask him to play chess, he will generally not play it himself. This is probably the pride of the master.

One year, after the Spring Festival. Li Xiaoqiang was going to work, and Zhao Dabao's family was already in Qiancheng at that time. Li Xiaoqiang bought a train ticket around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. After dinner, there was nothing to do, so I ran there to play chess. Li Xiaoqiang honestly said that he was an amateur at the level of about 3 dan, and he happened to meet Liu Jianguo there.

Li Xiaoqiang runs a lot outside, and he has become accustomed to speaking Mandarin when he goes out. didn't say that he was a Cuiwei person. However, the Qiancheng dialect can still be understood. At that time, the Spring Festival had just passed, and it was evening, and there were not many people in the teahouse. Everyone asked Liu Jianguo to come forward to entertain and play chess. Li Xiaoqiang didn't know if there were any masters in Lu Dao at that time, but the Qiancheng chess friends were generally quite kind, and he was really at the same level as Liu Jianguo at that time.

Of course, playing chess is a little bit of a small color, whether it is 10 pieces or 20 fast, Li Xiaoqiang has forgotten. So people are really kind and not prepared to win your money. Playing several games is really a chess opponent. Both of them are addicted to chess. It went down until it closed, Liu Jianguo didn't seem to be enjoying it, and warmly invited Li Xiaoqiang to his house to continue the night battle. Li Xiaoqiang has no way to catch the train.

They didn't ask each other for names when they played chess. However, listening to them speak Qiancheng dialect, Li Xiaoqiang knew that the other party's name was Liu Jianguo. Liu Jianguo played chess with several characteristics that impressed Li Xiaoqiang.

The first is that the starting hand likes to lower the high eyes and the outside of the eyes. It's nothing. What impressed Li Xiaoqiang the most was his chess gestures.

Generally speaking, the game of Go is played with the middle and index fingers between the pieces and the pieces. Liu Jianguo used his thumb and index finger to make a chess move.

Under normal circumstances, playing chess with such gestures will generally feel awkward and old-fashioned. What surprised Li Xiaoqiang the most was that Liu Jianguo's use of such gestures to play chess not only did not make people feel old-fashioned, but had a particularly chic taste.

Li Xiaoqiang was surprised in his heart. I never thought that with such old-fashioned gestures, I could still make a chic taste. Li Xiaoqiang has seen such a person. So I was very impressed.

Later, Li Xiaoqiang kept running around and had no contact with Liu Jianguo. But then there was another news that surprised Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang has been running abroad a lot for a few years, but he still pays attention to Go news or something. In the new century, Ganyuan Province held the Provincial Amateur Go League. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang pays more attention to the news of Go in his hometown, but there is not much news, only a scale and a half-claw. I don't know if it's the 2nd or the 3rd. Li Xiaoqiang saw a piece of news, and Ha Lu laughed.

Liu Jianguo also participated in a competition on behalf of Qiancheng, and it is estimated that his level is barely enough to reach the industry 5. He performed very well in that tournament and won a game of chess. It is estimated that the individual ranking is basically at the bottom. But he certainly won't feel bad, because the set he won was considered the best player in the tournament. A young chess player who has just entered the stage. That young chess player is now the main player of Weijia, and he is also a promising star in China. That game of chess is probably worth his pride for a while.

"Little Strong, Little Strong"

Lu Fanyun's call interrupted Li Xiaoqiang's memories.

"It's appropriate for us to line up like this, do you have any opinions?"

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has no opinion, and he came here this time to play soy sauce. I came here with the mentality of enjoying the atmosphere of Go. However, I took the list and looked at it, and I was still surprised. The list of the first team is normal, including Lao Wang, who is recognized as the strongest chess player in Qiancheng. The second team is all young. Lu Fanyun is not on the list, on the contrary, Liu Jianguo and Zeng Delong, who are still relatively naïve, are on the list.

Qiancheng's idea is very clear, the first team guarantees the results, and the second team gives young people the opportunity to exercise. Li Xiaoqiang secretly glanced at Lu Fanyun and found that his expression was calm.

No wonder he wanted to fight with Lao Wang for a long time, it is estimated that he had already had such a thought. The ideological realm is very high. ”

Li Xiaoqiang secretly sighed in his heart. At this time, a voice interrupted Li Xiaoqiang's emotion:

"Haluha, what kind of conspiracy are you doing behind closed doors?"

Li Xiaoqiang fixed his eyes, Xiong Guotao, Jiang Chenghua and others rushed in. In the back, he actually followed Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Da reporters. Looking at the lewd smile of reporter Zhang Da, Li Xiaoqiang was about to ask, but Zhang Zhidong spoke first:

"Ha Luha, Xiao Qiang, I said let's meet soon......"

Li Xiaoqiang wondered in his heart. Although the Shencheng Evening News has done a good job of reporting on Go. However, it is unlikely that such a provincial amateur competition will send a reporter to run it.

Not for this game, it's for yourself. When they looked up and saw Xiong Guotao, they looked at themselves with a smile. I suddenly thought of the Chinese Go Tianyuan Tournament led by the Shencheng Evening News. Thinking of Lu Fanyun's move to give up the opportunity to compete to young people.

"Is it ......?"

Li Xiaoqiang's heart beat uncontrollably.
