Chapter Eighty-Eight: Something I Almost Forgot
After the game, there was a long review between the two sides. Of course, the content of the review starts with Li Xiaoqiang's step of "nailing". Everyone was discussing and researching enthusiastically, regardless of each other. Including Imamura Civilization, who just lost. This is the pursuit of "chess way" by chess players.
It's just that such calculations are too complicated, there are too many forks in the road, and there is no clear conclusion after the research is at its worst.
On the contrary, it was Li Xiaoqiang's own "robbery" method, which was considered to be the best means of resistance for white. However, the subsequent changes are also quite complicated, and in general everyone thinks that white has a chance to make a living, but it is very difficult. The move of "robbery" proposed by Li Xiaoqiang is a bit unbelievable, and it belongs to the same level of chess as "nailing". Well, perverted, both moves are a bit perverted.
Journalists from both countries sprang into action immediately after the game. Zhang Zhidong and Yamada immediately wrote a "live report". Interestingly, the titles of the articles of the two are actually similar:
"The Japanese coach who was called out in advance"
This Japanese coach is, of course, the hero of Otake. He shouted in the ring that he was just a "man with a whip", and the Chinese side also made inviting Dazhu out of the ring as the goal of the ring match. I didn't expect that the ring match hadn't been done yet. has been "bet" by Li Xiaoqiang in the confrontation match.
Li Xiaoqiang read both reporters' articles. Li Xiaoqiang was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhidong's article. He believes that although the theme of Zhang Da's article is prominent, it is a bit superficial in the portrayal of characters. To be precise, it is believed that Zhang Da's praise of himself is not fleshy enough, and he can't show his tall and mighty image, and he can't make himself a girl in the flower season......
Let's take a look at the article of the chief spectator reporter.
"In the just-concluded Japan-China Go match. China's "mysterious boy" Li Xiaoqiang defeated the Japanese Imamura civilization in the middle game. As a result, he won the confrontation with the strongest amateur in Japan with a record of 2 to 1, and completely overwhelmed the amateur chess world in Japan with a total score of 4 to 2. Both individually and collectively, the performance of the "Mystery Boy" should leave the Japanese chess world speechless. According to the well-known bet, next, to be precise, the day after tomorrow. "Mystery Boy" will challenge the super-notch chess player Hero Otake. Before the game, no one thought that what the Chinese side had not done in the ring would be done by him, China's magical boy. Let's look forward to it together! ”……
The reporter, like everyone else, had the word "mysterious" at the beginning of his feelings about this Chinese teenager. The theory of Chinese hair, the "mystery of chess power" of Chinese teenagers, the controversy between two super chess players, and so on. The reporter was as curious about all this as everyone else at the beginning. After he came to Japan, I stayed with him in an attempt to unravel his mystery. I enjoyed 6 exciting games of Go. I think it's as exciting as any title fight in my country. As I got to know this Chinese teenager better, I once thought that I was already familiar with him and knew him well. But as I was writing this report, I suddenly realized that he was still so mysterious in my eyes. ”……
"I think the mysterious boy's chess skills are undoubted now, and his talent on the chessboard is breathtaking. In the first set, he showed a brilliant prologue concept. In the second set, he showed great control of the mid-game. The fourth game showed his keen observation skills and good chess sense. The sixth set showed his great strength and admirable courage. Although in the third and fifth sets, he exposed his lack of emotional control and rhythm control. But you have to know that he has only stepped into the professional Go circle for a few months. There is no doubt that his future is limitless. ”……
"But that's not the main thing. I don't want to say anything more about some specific Go techniques. If you are interested, you can read the next issue of "Chess" magazine. I don't know what it feels like to be a young man. I just vaguely felt that that teenager was playing a completely different kind of Go. ”……
"What kind of Go is it? Is it the ancient Chinese game of Go? It seems quite possible, because from the origin of this teenager it is easy for us to connect these things. But I always feel that it is not so simple, I prefer to believe that this young man is down. It is a kind of future Go, yes, his Go has a kind of vigor, a kind of rebellion, and more importantly, a kind of spirit! ”……
Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa once said, "I deeply feel that the current game of Go has been detached from its essence. It's a good score, and in the face of 100 yuan, everyone thinks that they can get 55 yuan and are very satisfied. If necessary, even 51 yuan will do. This is not right, without the courage to grab all 100 yuan, there is no enterprising spirit. ”……
"Everybody knows it. China is the biological mother of Go, and Japan is the adoptive mother of Go. In modern times, Japan has been the undisputed center of the world of Go. Could it be that in the near future, the child of Go will return to his biological mother? ”……
"Starting the day after tomorrow, the competition between the Chinese teenager and the big bamboo hero nine-dan will start soon. Journalists will continue to pay attention. Journalists no longer expect to be able to fully unravel the mystery of the teenager. But I'll continue to watch them up close and savor their games with my heart. The reporter was vaguely looking forward to it. Perhaps, this will be a historic moment for me to witness. ”……
For more details, please see the next special issue of "Chessway" magazine. Special report on the Japan-China match. ”……
Li Xiaoqiang looked at this article happily:
"Tsk, look at what people write, this is called sensationalism, this is called level, this is called advertising."
"By the way, advertising?"
Li Xiaoqiang faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Since it's an advertisement, what about my height? What about my blood type? And my handsome and dashing jade tree in the wind? How is it not reflected in his article? ”
"Is this complimenting me or selling his magazines?"
In Li Xiaoqiang's heart, Yamada's status immediately plummeted. has been classified as a second-rate reporter by Li Xiaoqiang, just like Zhang Zhidong.
Li Xiaoqiang walked on the road alone:
"He didn't mention it, I forgot. When I finally got up with Otake, there was one thing I almost forgot to think about how to do it. ”
What is Li Xiaoqiang considering?
