"Mr. Takemiya defended the honor of Japanese Go."

"In recent years, the "famous hands" of the cosmic stream have repelled the wizards on the chessboard. ”

After the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Masaki Takemiya, the Japanese Go community gave up its burden. This game was covered in detail by many news outlets. It must be admitted that during the heyday of Japanese Go, their Go reporting work has always been very good.

When Mr. Wu Qingyuan and Xiuya came out of the "Century Famous Game". The Japanese have a habit of serializing chess games in newspapers. This game in particular is relatively long due to the fact that it lasts for a long time. It is said that the sales of the newspaper have increased a lot. Well, in those days, chess fans read the chess games serialized in the newspapers, and it was estimated that we were in the same mood as waiting for the update of the great gods.

It is for this reason that Japan's "press chess war" came into being. Almost all major newspapers in Japan have the habit of serializing chess games. This habit continued into the Pliocene realm. Even if the level of Japanese Go is gradually thrown away by China and South Korea. They still attach great importance to Go publications.

For example, when Iyama Yuta won the "Big Triple Crown" at the same time, Japan's largest paper media actually issued an issue of "Extra" specifically for this matter. Of course, the Japanese "extra" may not be worth much. However, Go can be "out of the number", which is unimaginable in China and South Korea under any circumstances.

It is precisely because of the existence of the "news chess battle" that the Japanese have reported on Go in great detail. There are also a lot of related practitioners. Not a single detail of the game was missed. Among them, not only professional chess players, but also many spectator reporters have contributed to the promotion of Go. Strictly speaking, Japan's most "big-name" Go spectator reporter is the first to recommend Mr. Yasunari Kawabata. He is a Nobel Laureate in Literature. He once wrote a novel "Celebrity" related to Go. From another point of view, this "celebrity" is actually the record of watching the "famous game of the century".

It is precisely because of this tradition that there has always been a "chief spectator reporter" like Yamada Tsumiko. It has played a big role in spreading the culture of Go. What's more, these people generally have an amateur high to a low professional level. Therefore, the things they write are often simple and easy to understand, which is very much in line with the tastes of ordinary enthusiasts

As for the game of chess that has just ended, the Japanese news media are even more hyped up there. Indeed, from any point of view, this game seems to be worth it.

In terms of the importance of the game, this game of chess goes without saying. It's about the face of the Japanese Go world. Although it is not the final of the final, there is always a bit of "final" in it. In terms of the identity of the opponent, one side is a dignified super-first-class chess player, and he is a newly released world champion. Although Li Xiaoqiang's Go level has not yet reached the top, he is now a "man of the hour" in the Go world.

"In any case, Li Sang must be one of the leading figures in the future world chess world. We could even argue that with his current performances, he could be the strongest candidate......"

Reports similar to this have already appeared in the Japanese news media. Of course. When chess fans saw this kind of report, even Japanese chess fans didn't feel abnormal.

There is another point that seems to be worth a lot of news media coverage. That is Mr. Takemiya's "elephant step flying". In fact, most of the articles. The focus of the report is also on that step of "elephant flying". It must be admitted that in this regard, the Japanese actually know how to "package Go" very well. This is also something worth learning from the Chinese and Korean Go circles.

The most attractive part of any art or sport. It will always be its own connotation and its own charm. Comparing Go to football or basketball, there is no doubt that Go is a niche sport. However, compared to other projects. Go actually has its own advantages.

Take Li Xiaoqiang in his previous life, he must be a chess fan, and at the same time, most of the time, he also thinks of himself as a fan. But if you really want to talk about it, Li Xiaoqiang said that he is a "fan", which doesn't seem to be so reasonable. For a while, the term "pseudo-fan" was very popular. According to a certain standard, Li Xiaoqiang believes that he can only be classified as a "pseudo-fan". Although he can talk about the NBA allusions, he can also tell one, two, three, four when analyzing a certain star. Even posing as an "off-site expert" will not easily leak out. It's just that Li Xiaoqiang still thinks that he can only be regarded as a "pseudo-fan".

Li Xiaoqiang believes that only after a few years of studying in college can he be regarded as a real fan. Because during that period, I would still go to play. After entering the workforce, participation in such sports became less and less. Although I still like basketball in my heart, I may not touch the ball for 1 or 2 years, so of course I can only be regarded as a "pseudo-fan".

The good thing about Go is in this place. I've heard of "pseudo-fans", but there are really not many "pseudo-chess fans". The vast majority of chess fans can experience the charm of Go by themselves. Therefore, when popularizing Go, the most important thing is the packaging of content, not the packaging of form. The biggest "selling point" of the game of Go is the content on the board, not the championship of so-and-so.

The charm of Go actually has a lot to do with the connotation of Go. For example, a beginner, when he understands that "rats steal oil", he will definitely think that this tesuji is very powerful. When he masters this method, it must be very fulfilling. This is actually the charm of connotation.

Similarly, a chess fan who knows that "rats steal oil" will definitely be happy for a day or two when he can play "goshawk fighting rabbit" in actual combat. Further, if you can play a tesuji like "golden cicada shelling", it will already be very remarkable......

Japanese Go has always preached the "magic move" in Go, and this is actually the truth. For example, they preach "the wonderful hands of ancient and modern unparalleled" and "the wonderful hands of the red ears". To this day, they preach that Mr. Takemiya is "flying like a step". It is called "the magic hand of flowing water does not compete for the first".

When popularizing the game of Go, it is always more useful to publicize the skill of the game than to publicize the victory or defeat. The former is the enduring charm. For example, for a Japanese chess fan:

"Oh? Mr. Takemiya won the Chinese teenager...... "Of course this competition is very important, but people may forget about it in a few days.

"Oh? Mr. Takemiya defeated the wizard on the board with a clever move...... "In this way, it will arouse the interest of many chess fans, and they will want to know what kind of move this is made."

"Hahaha. Mr. Takemiya used a very clever move to defeat the leading figure in the future world of chess...... Well, it's a great move, it's a good move......"

If this game is packaged like this, then there is no doubt that it will definitely increase the number of chess fans. This is a very normal thing. For example, this contest has attracted a lot of attention in Japan. Whether you're a chess fan or not, you'll always talk about this game. Then when the results of the game come out, when everyone talks about the game again. As a chess fan, you must have a little more sense of superiority than a "non-chess fan".

Propaganda through the news media. Everyone knows that there is such a wonderful hand of "flowing water does not compete for the first". Then as a chess fan, he has a psychological advantage, and he will be proud:

"Hehe, you envy it, although we are all talking about that game of chess, but I understand the wonderful flavor of it, but what about you? You don't know how to move, so you don't know how good that move is ......."

Naturally, someone will not be able to stand this. Someone will try to understand what's so good about it. So. Imperceptibly, the number of chess fans can increase a lot......

In this respect, China and South Korea are actually inferior to Japanese Go. When our country reports on Go, the most important thing is always the victory or defeat. In fact, this does not do any good to popularize Go. Until later generations:

"I was lucky that my opponent made a mistake in this game. It was his last mistake that I made to win this championship......"

Words like this are often seen in later reports. It must be admitted. When a chess player says something like this, some of them are telling the truth, and in other cases they are just being polite. And most of the news coverage. The focus is on reporting on the champions and ignoring the content of the chess game. When Go becomes a game of "comparing mistakes", not to mention that ordinary people can't feel the charm of Go, even many people who are really obsessed with Go will feel bored.

Japanese Go can proudly declare that we have laid the foundation for the modern game of Go. Koreans are proud to say that we have broken through the framework of Japanese Go. So what about us Chinese, as the birthplace of Go, as the mother country of Go, can we only claim there, how many championships I have won?

Due to the match between Yu Bin and Wu Gong later, Li Xiaoqiang will stay in Japan for two days. On the rest day of the game, Li Xiaoqiang was able to feel the atmosphere reported by the Japanese media. Truth be told, they did a good job. Mr. Wu Gong's step of "flying like a step" does have a bit of the meaning of "flowing water does not compete for the first". Although Li Xiaoqiang understands the practices of the Japanese Go community very well, he also thinks that they are more expressive. However, Li Xiaoqiang is still very unhappy.

Of course, the quality of this game is really high, and Li Xiaoqiang has nothing to say if he loses. But I think of myself becoming someone else's "background" and becoming someone else's foil. Li Xiaoqiang couldn't be happy anyway. No one wants to be someone else's background.

"Let you be proud for a while, one day, in such a report, I will be the protagonist of the story......"

Because Li Xiaoqiang lost the chess, everyone also knew that he was in a bad mood. So not many people came to bother him. Give him a chance to think cranky.

"Well, let's say I win the World Championship in the future. So what will people say about my victory? Could it be like what reporter Zhang said, I am a leak king? No, no, no, this also affects my glorious image of Li Datiancai too much...... So what do I want people to say about me? ”

"It was him, the Chinese Go genius Li Xiaoqiang, who integrated the essence of ancient Chinese chess into modern Go! That's right, it's him! He took the first step in the fusion of modern Go ideas and classical ideas. He not only let everyone understand the essence of ancient Chinese chess, but also created a new pattern, promoted the development of the whole game of Go, and made the ancient intellectual game of Go more charming......"

I must admit that Li Xiaoqiang is a rather strange person. Now that he has obviously lost, it stands to reason that he should be very sad. But now he ...... I am actually thinking about this "epoch-making" issue.

Li Xiaoqiang's "sweet dream" did not last long. Others saw him there in a daze, for fear that this kid would not be able to stand the blow of losing, so they tried to find a way to help Li Xiaoqiang find something to do. The first to come over was Coach Luo:

"Hehe, I said Xiaoqiang, don't be in a daze there, or let Reporter Zhang accompany you for a casual stroll...... Hey? Xiao Zhang was still here just now, why didn't he see anyone all of a sudden......"

The second one who came to "disturb" Li Xiaoqiang was actually Yukari Umezawa:

Li ...... Li Sang, it's rude, I have a request, I don't know if you can agree? ”

Umezawa...... Sister...... Yukari ...... What is the matter? ”

"Well, our autumn big hand tie is about to start, but I don't have any confidence at all. It just so happens that Li Sang is free today, and I would like to ask you to guide me through a game. I don't know if it's okay? ”

"This ......"

"Please, just a plate, okay?"

In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, Mei Ze is his brainless fan. In the face of a fan's request, there is certainly no reason to refuse. Just as Li Xiaoqiang was about to interact with his fans, Zhang Zhidong rushed in:

"Ha Luha, Xiao, Xiao Qiang, so you are here. Just now, Mr. Lin Haifeng informed me that Mr. Wu Qingyuan would like to see you. Hurry, hurry, I can't figure out what's so good about you guy. Even Master Wu has taken the initiative to invite you twice, which is really enviable......"

"Master Wu Qingyuan wants to see me?"

After hearing the news, Li Xiaoqiang was surprised and delighted. I happen to have a lot of confusion and want to ask Mr. Wu. Because it's inconvenient to disturb his old man, I'm worried that I don't have a chance. Now is the opportunity, and you can't miss it.

As for the game of guidance that was promised to Umezawa, there was no way, and it could only be postponed anyway. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't have much experience in "being an idol". As a result, he is not very likely to refuse requests from fans. In a hurry, he made a move that made reporter Zhang Da stunned. He grabbed Yukari Umezawa's hand:

"Ha Lu Ha, Yukari, I'm very sorry, this game can only be played later. Otherwise, let's go see Mr. Wu together, okay? ”

"Li Sang, let it go...... Let go ......"

Li Xiaoqiang embarrassedly let go of his hand. At that moment, Umezawa's face also turned red. Facing the slightly playful gaze of reporter Zhang Da. Li Xiaoqiang was speechless:

"Ahem, misunderstanding, this is a complete misunderstanding, I'm just...... I don't have any experience as an idol. ”

Li Xiaoqiang defended himself in his heart. (To be continued......)

PS: I have been involved in a project for the past two days, due to the slightly confidential nature of the project. Therefore, I can't land at the starting point normally, and I don't have the opportunity to say hello to my book friends. I'm sorry!

The author is an amateur writer with his own job. I don't dare to throw away my job casually, please understand this. Especially for those who have been subscribing to this book, I hope for your understanding. If the previous manuscripts were not lost, the update speed would not be so slow. I didn't dare to be a professional writer, because at my level, I wouldn't be able to support myself. Hehe, I still have this self-knowledge. Because I read books at the beginning, the books I have been supporting seem to be relatively "niche". If you understand it this way, my taste is relatively niche, so I can't become a god. That's how I analyzed, so I didn't dare to be a professional writer.

Supposedly, the book has done well so far. The biggest flaw is the update problem. However, I know in my heart that there are many book lovers who have been silently supporting this book for the sake of Go. There is only one thing I can promise that I will definitely finish this book. During this period, I will definitely not "inject water". Every game I write will not be repeated. When I finished writing my understanding of Go, the book was over.

Thank you again for your support!
