The match between Li Xiaoqiang and Shuzo Ohira ended quickly. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, many players and reporters had already poured into the game room.

Yes, Li Xiaoqiang finally made that step "broken". When this move was made, Mr. Ohira was silent for a few minutes, and then happily threw in the towel.

"It's old, it's still old after all! Alas. I wish I could play well on the board...... Li Sang, congratulations on winning the game, I'm sorry, I won't review it today, and please continue to work hard in the future, so as to show everyone more of the charm of Go. Please! ”

Accompanied by Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro, Mr. Shuzo Ohira and the other members of the Japanese delegation left the Arena Room.

Indeed, there is no need to review this game. Li Xiaoqiang knew very well in his heart that before he took that step to "break", Mr. Daping had already known about his mistake. Compared to the others, Mr. Ohira himself is the one who is really suffering. If he reviewed it now, it would be too cruel for him.

Li Xiaoqiang's victory is just a normal metabolism in the Go world, and it is a natural law. There is nothing to boast about at all. Li Xiaoqiang looked at the back of Mr. Daping in the distance, and his heart was actually full of respect.

"Xiaoqiang, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, although I won this game. But before the game, I didn't dare to underestimate Mr. Ohira at all. I have to look at him like a strong opponent. To know that Mr. Ohira is 58 years old this year. When I'm 58 years old, will anyone still see me as a strong opponent? ”

"Ha Luha, what's so strange about playing Go until you are 58 years old, you must be thinking too far."

For such words, Li Xiaoqiang was speechless at all. Indeed, in this day and age, "down to 58 years old" seems to be a very normal thing. It's not uncommon for people in their 60s to win championships. But as long as it is another 2 or 3 years, let alone 58 years old, it will be difficult for 38 years old to continue to fight on the first line of the profession.

Let's be honest. Li Xiaoqiang also didn't know which situation was more reasonable and which situation was more in line with the laws of nature. However, Li Xiaoqiang firmly believes that Go is so broad and profound that no one can take more than ten or twenty years to understand the whole game of Go. No one else can do it! Even if there are geniuses like Wu Qingyuan and Li Shifo, they can't do it!

Li Xiaoqiang just hopes that he can persist for a longer period of time than others on the road of exploring the mysteries of Go.

When all the members of the Japanese delegation left, the atmosphere in the game room became relaxed again. Of course, there is another question that everyone urgently wants to clarify. This is the question that makes everyone suffer:

"What was Li Xiaoqiang thinking about in that half an hour?"

In the midst of all. The one who can't wait the most is Yu Bin. Of course, according to a format like the Ring, only two games are played in a round. In fact, the player who came back in line was the most uncomfortable. He has to judge whether he wants to play or not according to the situation in the previous game of chess. Naturally, his mood will fluctuate with the situation of the previous game of chess.

"Ha Luha, I said Xiaoqiang, I have absolutely reason to suspect now that you must have been deliberately torturing me just now. Tell me honestly. What are you thinking about after the worst of this game? ”

"I ...... Did I think for a long time? ”

"It doesn't matter if you've been thinking for a long time. You just answer us a question. When did you notice that this step was "broken"? ”

"Hey, hey, I...... I really forgot about ......."

No matter how Yu Bin and them "coerce and lure", Li Xiaoqiang just refuses to explain honestly anyway. I didn't say anything about killing him. Li Xiaoqiang refused to say it, so naturally someone would help him say it. In the midst of all. Reporter Zhang Da is the most triumphant person. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again vigorously advocated his "theory of the demeanor of a general." And this "theory" will be further enriched and carried forward.

"Well, I said Captain, you're a little too mentally retarded in this question. Do you need to ask? Of course, Xiaoqiang found out about the break at the beginning. In this matter, it was found that the means were not the point, but the point was the time of his verification. Time! Got it? After discovering that step breaks. It came out in a hurry within 10 minutes, and it was rough. 20 minutes, that is cautious, only after thinking about it for half an hour before coming out, that is considered the demeanor of a general. I said you, you have to learn from other Xiaoqiang, and you have to experience it carefully. What is the true demeanor of a general, you should all have appreciated it by now......"

"Haha

Speaking of the worst, reporter Zhang Da was obviously a little carried away, and he even began to "teach" a group of national players around him.

Although a group of national players are best at "hand talk", they will definitely not be afraid of Zhang Zhidong if they really want to fight. Yu Bin immediately fought back on behalf of others:

"Okay, I said that Zhang Da reporter, who speaks one thing and another, has now become a theoretician. Well, I'm going to ask theorists two questions now: the first question, thinking for half an hour is considered a general's demeanor, what if you think for 40 minutes? So what's that? The second question is more important, and there are no outsiders here, so we will talk about it behind closed doors. The members of our national Go team are all knowledgeable. I wondered, where did you learn such a profound theory? ”

"Isn't it? I said, Commander, are you embarrassed to ask such a simple question? ”

"Hehe, you don't have to interrupt me, since the question is simple, you can answer it quickly."

"Hmph, it seems that if I don't show a little real effort, I really can't cure you. Then I'll come one by one. I couldn't figure out how the head of the children's team of the dignified national Go team would ask such a simple question...... Thinking for half an hour is considered a general's demeanor. What if you think about it for 40 minutes? That's ...... It's ......"

"What is it?"

Reporter Zhang Da first whetted everyone's appetite and enjoyed the feeling of "public attention". Triumphantly announced his answer:

"Nonsense, such a simple "break", if a chess player still needs to think for 40 minutes. That only shows that the player suffers from Alzheimer's disease......"

"Hahaha."

A group of chess players leaned forward and backwards with laughter, and the most excessive thing was that a group of people laughed while looking Li Xiaoqiang up and down with their eyes, in their opinion, it seemed that Li Xiaoqiang was really 10 minutes away from "Alzheimer's". Li Xiaoqiang couldn't find a place to get angry, so he had to stare at Zhang Zhidong viciously.

can see Li Xiaoqiang deflated, reporter Zhang Da naturally became more and more proud:

"As for what I think about how to summarize such an advanced theory. Then the problem is simpler. Let me tell you, this is entirely because of the result of my acquaintance with Li Xiaoqiang. ”

"We also know Xiaoqiang, how come we can't summarize a theory like yours."

"That's because your understanding is not deep enough, since I know Xiaoqiang, I have summarized two points: the first point, as long as you encounter problems on the chessboard, please believe Li Xiaoqiang. The second point is that even if you encounter something that is completely unreasonable and very difficult to figure out. Please try to find some crooked reasoning and use these crooked reasoning to prove Li Xiaoqiang's correctness. Eventual facts tend to prove out. This fallacy must be reasonable......"

"Haha

In the game room, the biggest laugh of the day erupted. After a few jokes, everyone dispersed. After Zhang Zhidong's interruption, at this time, no one cared about when Li Xiaoqiang found out that step was "broken". In any case, Li Xiaoqiang's victory in Daping Xiu 39 should be expected by everyone. Everyone knows very well that the game the day after tomorrow is the real highlight.

The importance of that game is not only clear to the Chinese Go community. The Japanese Go community is also very clear. Presumably, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro himself is very aware and must have been very mentally prepared, which is why the Japanese team left the game room so quickly.

In the next day or so, no one bothered Li Xiaoqiang too much. So that he can prepare for the battle with peace of mind. Only Zhang Zhidong, who is cheeky, still pesters Li Xiaoqiang heartlessly:

"Hey, I said Xiaoqiang, there is no one else on the side now. You should have told me when you noticed that step was "broken". It's just the relationship between the two of us. You must tell me this scoop. ”

Li Xiaoqiang looked at the appearance of reporter Zhang Da, and his heart was angry and funny:

"Wouldn't it be nice to report according to your "theory"? ”

"Hey! I want the truth, do you understand the truth? ”

The truth?

Li Xiaoqiang recalled this game. In fact, the truth is very simple, Li Xiaoqiang's "long test" for half an hour is definitely not a "general's demeanor". At the beginning, he was indeed almost taken into the ditch by his opponent. He didn't notice the break either. In the end, he just let him turn the corner. Li Xiaoqiang is a little scared when he thinks about it, and at the same time, he is a little unclear, such a simple method, what did he not find out in the first place?

It's not hard to understand that this can happen in a close game. This is mainly due to "believing in the adversary". Because I believe in the level of my opponent, I think that he can't make such a low-level mistake. Because of this, they ignore the mistakes of their opponents, which also happens in professional matches.

Of course, out of his own "face problem", Li Xiaoqiang will never "expose his ugliness" in front of reporter Zhang Da, especially when the other party has just "offended" himself.

Li Xiaoqiang refused to say, and of course Zhang Zhidong didn't have any good way. However, he did not dwell on this issue for too long. Now that the ring match has been held, everyone's focus is on the next game. Reporter Zhang Da is naturally no exception:

"Ha Luha, you were put on a show by Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro last year, I guess you may be holding back your strength and wanting revenge now, right?"

"Which pot are you not opening and mentioning, I know that I lost the most in that game of chess. And before I do. ”

"Hahaha, if it doesn't stimulate you, how can we see a good show? Seriously, last year, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro said that he wanted to compete with you in your "strongest place", but I still haven't figured out what the "strongest place" he refers to. ”

In last year's competition, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro just made a simple "multiple-choice question", which made Li Xiaoqiang unknowingly fall behind. And the whole game of chess can't be turned over. Originally, according to Li Xiaoqiang's real level, it was very normal to lose to Hiroshi Yamashiro, and it was no big deal. Li Xiaoqiang himself is not unacceptable. But that kind of loss...... still made Li Xiaoqiang feel a little aggrieved.

No matter from which point of view, in that game, Li Xiaoqiang gave people the feeling of "being smart but being mistaken by being smart". Of course, this made the arrogant Li Xiaoqiang a little unbearable, he felt that he was "calculated". For a long time, only Li Xiaoqiang "calculated" others' share, but in that game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang was solidly "calculated" by others. When something like this happens, it's a normal idea to want to "get back on the field".

The other is that "there is no impermeable wall in the world." The same applies to the Go world, where the content of the chat between Hiroshi Yamashiro and Hideyuki Fujisawa before that match is now known to many.

"I'll take him on where he's strongest!"

Hiroshi Yamashiro's words have made many people very interested, what is Li Xiaoqiang's "strongest place"? Everyone has their own interpretation. Li Xiaoqiang actually has his own thoughts on this issue.

Li Xiaoqiang believes that his "strongest place" last year was not the "middle game", not the specific Go skills such as "official", but some Go concepts that are different from those of this era. Because of these Go concepts, I often let myself play some moves that others consider to be "whimsy".

Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro skillfully restrained his "whimsy", and he easily won the victory. The biggest enemy of "whimsy" is the "heavy" in Go. This "heavy" is not the "heavy" of "heavy", but the "heavy" of "bulky". In that game, Li Xiaoqiang played the chess very "bulky", and because he had a burden, he couldn't play his "whimsy" at all.

When playing Go, you must not let your pieces play "heavy". For example, Li Xiaoqiang relied on the "abandoned son" to win two games of chess, even if it was a big dragon worth dozens of meshes, that chess was very "light", and it was not "heavy". It is precisely because of "lightness" that it can be discarded and exchanged for greater benefits elsewhere. This is the importance of "light" and "heavy" in Go.

With the lessons learned from that time, it has been nearly one year of hard work. Li Xiaoqiang believes that he has made some progress in this regard. Therefore, he is very much looking forward to the opportunity to re-compete with Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro.

On one side is Li Xiaoqiang, who is like a rainbow and captures the flag all the way. On one side is Hiroshi Yamashiro, who is highly regarded in the Japanese Go community and is considered to not have the name of being super-first-class, but to be super-first-class. This game is naturally in the limelight.

What will happen in this game?

Li Xiaoqiang waited quietly. (To be continued......)
