In the training hall of the national Go team, a group of coaches and chess players are watching a training game. The two sides of the game are Li Xiaoqiang's third dan and Liu Dazhu's eighth dan dan.

The game is over, and even the replay is over. Li Xiaoqiang packed up the chess pieces:

"Xie Lu, thank you, Teacher Liu!"

Then Li Xiaoqiang left his seat, nodded politely to the people around him, and walked away silently.

Coach Luo and Team Leader Hua looked at Li Xiaoqiang and stopped talking. In the end, I couldn't help but say nothing. After Li Xiaoqiang couldn't see the figure at all, Team Leader Hua said worriedly:

"What's going on with this kid Xiaoqiang this time? Why is he in such a bad state all of a sudden? He can't have any mental pressure, I'm really worried about him now, and the match with Daping is not a few days away. ”

Coach Luo also said:

"yes, I've counted it these days. Xiaoqiang has lost 12 consecutive training games, which is a bit abnormal. Everyone helps analyze and analyze, what the hell is going on? It can't be that he is really accumulating character. ”

"Hahaha."

Hearing the two well-intentioned people say this, the members of the national team present first laughed, and then looked at each other. Everyone seems to feel that something is wrong, and they feel that it is not normal. So they all analyzed the reasons in their hearts.

Now Li Xiaoqiang enjoys the highest treatment, and his opponents in training are basically first-class masters in China at that time. It is also normal for Li Xiaoqiang to win less and lose more in the game.

But this is a training game after all, and no one cares about winning or losing. Everyone's purpose is to help Li Xiaoqiang improve, so that he has a better chance of winning chess in the later ring matches. At the same time, he is guaranteed to have a sense of chess and maintain his sharpness on the board.

Another thing is that the training games are basically rapid chess. To say that the current masters of the national team can be regarded as having learned Li Xiaoqiang's rapid chess skills, they all agree that Li Xiaoqiang's rapid chess level is stronger than his slow chess level.

Now he's 0-12 ......in rapid chess, and no one thinks it's normal.

Liu Dazhui, who has played the most chess with Li Xiaoqiang in the past few days, hesitated to speak:

"I also think that Xiaoqiang has something wrong these days......"

"What's wrong?"

The most eager, Coach Luo and Team Leader Hua. Liu Dazhui organized his own language:

"Well, I can't tell. Xiaoqiang's child's chess is inherently weird. In the past two days, I feel that his chess has become even stranger...... How so? Some of his moves can only be described as unbelievable, especially in the middle game. Some of his thoughts...... Hehe, I wouldn't even think about that place anyway. ”

Everyone did not speak, and everyone looked at each other again. In fact, everyone knows that Lu Dao, what is "unbelievable", what "I don't think about that place", that is Liu Dazhui saying kind words. The implication is that Li Xiaoqiang's moves are too stinky, and some of his ideas are too amateurish, and they are simply out of the normal thinking of a professional chess player.

"Hehe, I don't think there's a need to make a fuss. Everybody knows it. Xiaoqiang, this kid is very thoughtful, even if it is an ordinary training game, he can also play tricks. When he did this, it reminded me of Mr. Minoru Kitani from Japan. ”

Everyone looked around, and it was Cao Dafang Jiuduan who spoke. Cao Jiuduan continued:

"Do you remember? The joke that Mr. Wu Qingyuan made talked about some differences between him and Mr. Mugu in terms of thinking methods......"

All of you here are Go professionals, and of course they know the story about Minoru Kitani.

Minoru Kitani is also a well-known figure in the Japanese Go world. Needless to say, "Mugu Dojo", five of the six supers are out of the Mugu Gate. When he was young, Mu Gu and Mr. Wu Qingyuan were equally famous. Mr. Wu is a "child prodigy", but what about Kitani? It's the "weird boy". When he was young, he was called "Strange Boy Pill".

When they were young, Wu Qingyuan and Minoru Mutani were both rivals and friends. The "Revolution of the New Layout of Go" was created by the two of them together, and was recorded by another Go senior, Mr. Yasu Yongyi.

Mr. Minoru Kitani plays chess and is a well-known "long examination school". Compared with many people in that era, Wu Qingyuan was basically a "rapid chess school". Mr. Wu Qingyuan once said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Mu Gu Shi plays chess. It must be remembered from the most impossible place, eliminated one by one, and then reversed one by one, and finally found the most correct move in his opinion. So. He must be slow to play chess.

"You mean, Xiaoqiang is also using this kind of elimination?"

Coach Luo realized, but he was still skeptical. Mr. Mugu was able to find the right way to play after eliminating it. What about Li Xiaoqiang? Some of his chess. Maybe not even half right.

"I think it's very likely, he seems to be looking for some ideas, and I noticed that he played the second half of the game normally, and a lot of his weird moves came in the first half of the game, especially in the middle game. He seems to have deliberately chosen a bitter beginning. ”

It was Jiang Zhujiu who said this, and he had also played a lot of training games with Li Xiaoqiang during this time.

"What is very likely, he must have thought that and did so. Xiaoqiang, this kid, is really amazing! I can think of such a demonic approach, and I really want to see his effect. He is the real monster, I warn you, you are not allowed to call me a little demon in the future. There is only one monster in the Chinese Go world, and that is Li Xiaoqiang! ”

It was naturally Ma Xiaofei who spoke. Everyone looked at him, ready to hear the reason for his "change of nickname".

"Although there are many things that can be taught in Go, there are still some things that cannot be taught. Even if it is taught, the effect is not obvious. For example, we can certainly teach him some ideas for such a mid-game operation. Teach him some of the ways we think we're right. But there is always nothing that he has experienced and realized by himself is deeply impressed. ”

"Everyone knows this, there are some things that can't be rushed. Some relatively virtual things like this, when the level reaches a certain height, he will naturally slowly comprehend it. ”

"That's why I said he was a demon, and he didn't seem to want it to happen at all. I can now almost understand how quickly his level has improved. ”

"Does it have to work if he does that?"

"I don't know if it will work, and I can't be sure if he can find the right idea. However, he must be impressed by some incorrect ideas and some bad methods in doing so. If you can't find out what is "good", then you must first understand what is "bad". His training method is quite interesting. ”

"Oh, isn't there something wrong with Xiaoqiang? Then I'm relieved. ”

"Hehe, you're relieved, but I'm not at ease."

"You're not at ease? Didn't you say that his training method was good, what else are you worried about? ”

"I'm worried about myself, Xiaoqiang is weird enough, and it must be even weirder to practice like this. When I run into him in the future, I must be more careful, hehe. ”

"For what?"

"It doesn't matter if it's right or not, and it can't be said which choice is the best. In some specific occasions, it may be that some of the usual bad looks are the best choice. We're pretty much in a mindset about something. Xiaoqiang is deliberately avoiding such a mindset, do you think I should be more careful when I meet him in the future? ”

"Hahaha."

Is Li Xiaoqiang as Ma Xiaofei said? No one knows the way, and Li Xiaoqiang himself doesn't know the way, he only knows the way now, and the more he loses in training chess, the more confidence he seems to have.

Do you think that your level has really improved, or do you think that your "character" has accumulated enough? Li Xiaoqiang couldn't figure it out. Perhaps, perhaps, both.

The second "Chess Boys Cup" finally came to an end, and Chang Rensheng won his first national championship. Shao, Zhou, Luo and Liu won 2 to 5 places. Liu Er was outside the top 10, but he had no way to find Li Xiaoqiang as a punching bag. Li Xiaoqiang has come to Longjiang Province. Quietly waiting for his next opponent.

By this time, the attention that the ring competition had received in China was unprecedented. The ring competition continues to bring surprises to the Chinese people, in front of which is Nie Whirlwind, and now, there is one more Li Xiaoqiang.

This is a real "surprise".

Li Xiaoqiang knew a little bit about the reaction to the outside world, but he didn't take it too seriously. He's now bent on creating even bigger surprises.

Two days before the competition, Li Xiaoqiang arrived at the competition venue.

Li Xiaoqiang continued to move forward. (To be continued......)

PS: When I got up early in the morning, I couldn't get to the starting point backstage. I'm sorry to everyone, but you can't really blame me. I'm surprised, the other pages are open......

The more sorry I am, the more cheeky I beg for a monthly pass. hehe
