At the end of the first game of the first "China-South Korea Hand Competition", Li Xiaoqiang won Li Shifo relatively smoothly, and this result met most people's expectations.

That's right, although Lee Seok-fo is currently the first person in the Korean chess world, he has shown surprising dominance in the domestic chess scene. But if you compare him with Li Xiaoqiang, there is no doubt that Li Xiaoqiang is more famous now, and most people still think that Li Xiaoqiang's strength is slightly stronger. So no one will be surprised by today's results.

As soon as the game ended, reporter Zhang Da blocked Liu Changhe, who led Li Shifo to China for the first time, and asked him to express his thoughts on the first game.

"Amazing, wizard on the chessboard! The game was won quite beautifully. Although we are not very reluctant, we must admit that judging from the performance of the two players in this game, it is very difficult for us to win the whole match. I don't know why the Stone Buddha played so poorly today. However, I still think that Shi Buddha is trustworthy, and I hope he can adjust as soon as possible in the next games......"

Yoo Chang-hyuk said polite words while walking towards the game room with reporter Zhang Da, who wanted to participate in the post-match review with the two players.

As soon as the game ended, Li Xiaoqiang found that Li Shifo's mood was much calmer than he imagined, and he took the initiative to invite Li Xiaoqiang to review. It's not a polite and perfunctory invitation, but a seemingly sincere invitation. Li Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and then relieved. can have in-depth exchanges with his peers, Li Xiaoqiang is of course very willing. Therefore, the two launched a long review after the game.

To say that the two are already old rivals. Unconsciously, the two have played 7 games, which is a lot of games, and among all Japanese and Korean chess players, Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo have the most games. So far, though. There really isn't much communication between the two, and they don't even talk much.

The first time the two met was in the final of the World Series, and in that kind of atmosphere, every game of chess was crucial, and it could be said that no matter who won or lost. I wasn't in the mood to review after the game. Last year's game of chess was almost the same thing, it was the knockout round of the World Series, when Li Xiaoqiang was struggling in the trough, and in that game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang felt that the opponent used the trick of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" to put himself together, so Li Xiaoqiang was very unhappy, and he was naturally not in the mood to review in detail after the game.

But this time is different, this time it is just a match, and it is the first game of trilogy. Losing is depressing. But it won't be as hot as the knockouts. Seeing that Li Shifo took the initiative to propose a review, Li Xiaoqiang was of course very willing to communicate with the other party.

The review of both sides is very detailed, starting from the first move, and the review time is quite long. At the beginning of the review, the game room was still crowded with people, but after a while, only Chang Rensheng, Luo Shenzhu and other peers remained. Li Xiaoqiang discovered an interesting phenomenon. When there are many people, Li Shifo really doesn't have many words. Most of the time is spent playing chess, and occasionally expressing his own opinions, all of which are passed on through Liu Changhe. However, when only his peers were left in the room, he gradually talked more, and the number of times he took the initiative to express his opinions also increased significantly.

"This kid doesn't seem to be a completely real piece of wood......" Li Xiaoqiang thought to himself.

Li Xiaoqiang had heard an anecdote in his previous life. It is said that Li Shifo is very unaccustomed to socializing with senior chess players, and every time he gets together with senior chess players, he will seem restless. It is said that this is because of a rule of Koreans, and it is said that Koreans are still more orderly, such as meeting a group of people of different ages getting together. When everyone eats together, drinks or something, it is usually paid for by the oldest person.

It is conceivable that if this happened to Li Shifo, it can be seen that he is embarrassed. You must know that South Korea is not like Japan, and the good days of Korean Go have not passed for a few years. Like Seo Bong-so, he used to only carry the money for 2 bowls of jajangmyeon to the chess academy to participate in the competition. That's not to mention most of the other Korean professional chess players. As for Lee Seok-fo, when he was 16 or 7 years old, he began to become the title king and prize king of the Korean chess world. So when he got together with other older players, he was in a quandary. If you have the heart to pay, you are worried that others will say that he does not know how to be polite and does not know what it means to be orderly. Don't pay for it, but he is the biggest tyrant in the Korean Go world, and it is easy to be said to be stingy. It is said that this is the reason for his taciturn character.

However, when he was only with his peers, Li Shifo looked much more cheerful. For example, today, even though he lost chess, although he was not familiar with Chang Rensheng and others, he may have only heard the name. However, the current Li Shifo does not look as restrained as usual.

Everyone's review was very detailed and took a long time. In fact, the offense and defense similar to today's big picture are very complicated, and there are too many points of divergence, if you really want to find the best response from both sides, Li Xiaoqiang also thinks it is unlikely. Seeing that everyone's interest was so strong, Li Xiaoqiang quietly greeted reporter Zhang Da halfway through, saying that he wanted to invite everyone to dinner after the review. Reporter Zhang Da conveyed Li Xiaoqiang's intention to reporter Park, who accompanied him in South Korea, and reporter Park told Liu Changhyuk that Liu Changhe would ask Li Shifo for his opinion again, and Li Shifo readily agreed.

As a result, everyone's review lasted until nearly 8 o'clock in the evening, which came to an end for the time being. After a few hours of review, in fact, everyone still did not come to any clear conclusions. However, the two opponents and the large number of reference pictures placed by Yoo Chang-hyuk, Chang Ren-sheng and others opened the eyes of reporter Zhang Da and reporter Park of South Korea. You know, this is solid dry goods, and it is excellent material for them to write chess reviews after the game.

For example, in today's game of chess, if you only look at it on the surface, Li Xiaoqiang seems to win very easily. But after seeing Li Shifo's reference map, reporter Zhang Da and others found that it was not like that. Because there are many changes in this, they are actually what Li Shifo thinks when he is in the game. After seeing these things, reporter Zhang Da knew that it was not easy for Li Xiaoqiang to win.

Of course, if reporter Zhang Da was surprised, then reporter Park and others were even more surprised. Because of the changes that Li Xiaoqiang posed out, they were even more shocked. The changes in Li Shifo's pendulum just now naturally had some things that Li Xiaoqiang did not expect in actual combat. But the changes in Li Xiaoqiang's pendulum are more unexpected than everyone expected.

What does this mean? This means that Li Xiaoqiang has calculated deeper and more clearly. It means that Li Xiaoqiang's victory is not accidental. This means that perhaps as everyone said: at least in the face of today's complex and volatile situation. Li Xiaoqiang is stronger than Li Shifo.

After the review, everyone went out to eat and drink together. On the Chinese side, there are 7 or 8 reporters such as Chang Ren Shengluo Shenzhu Zhang Da. On the Korean side, there are only 3 people: Lee Seok-fo, Yoo Chang-hyuk and Reporter Park. With such a comparison of strengths, it is naturally impossible to fight for wine or anything. However, most of the good wine players who play Go, even Li Shifo, usually looks very shy, and he is quite bold when he drinks wine. So. The atmosphere at the wine table was not afraid of being deserted, everyone drank and chatted together, and talked about some recent developments in the world chess world, especially in China and South Korea. The atmosphere was very relaxed and warm.

The focus of everyone's chat is actually not on the first line of focus that the world chess world pays the most attention to. After all, everyone is an insider, and many things are clearer than the outside world knows. On such occasions, everyone is more concerned about some second-tier chess players and second-tier news.

For example, South Korea's Park reporter, he would not ask Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei how they were doing on this occasion, but was very interested in Chang Rensheng's situation, and talked to Luo Shenzhu Zhou Dayang and them at the wine table. And what about Zhang Da reporters. Naturally, he will not ask questions about the "Four Heavenly Kings" of South Korea, but is very interested in the newly emerging "Four Little Heavenly Kings" in the Korean chess world.

South Korea's "Four Little Heavenly Kings" refer to Choi Myung-hoon and several other chess players. They are older than Li Shishi, Cui Poison and others, and they are similar to Li Shifo. But these people, whether in terms of debut time or fame, are far from Li Shifo, so they can only be regarded as juniors. These duo have been active in South Korea's domestic title fights lately. has just been crowned by the Korean media as the "Four Little Heavenly Kings". Reporter Zhang Da was not familiar with them yet, so they inquired vigorously.

Of course. Reporter Zhang Da was interested in a few of them, but Li Xiaoqiang was not interested at all. Because Li Xiaoqiang knows it. If history does not deviate, the achievements of these so-called "Four Little Heavenly Kings" are limited. At most, he is a standard stalwarts chess player. Those who really take over the mantle of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the Korean chess world still have to wait for Li Shishi and Cui Poison's generation of chess players to grow up.

Everyone drank happily at a meal, and chatted happily. Seeing that it was getting late, considering that there was still a game ahead. Therefore, Yoo Chang-hyuk proposed to dismiss.

Before the banquet was dismissed, Li Shifo deliberately picked up a glass of wine and walked in front of Li Xiaoqiang:

"Thank you very much for learning me a lot in today's game. But don't take it lightly and play the day after tomorrow...... I will definitely do my best. ”

Li Xiaoqiang chewed on the meaning of Li Shifo's words, and after thinking for a while, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly smiled. He looked into Li Shifo's eyes. Word by word:

"Don't worry, playing chess with you, I will always do my best!"

After Li Xiaoqiang finished saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time drained the wine in the glass. Accompanied by Liu Changhe and others, Li Shifo turned around and said goodbye.

After they said goodbye, Li Xiaoqiang also walked home accompanied by reporter Zhang Da.

"Tsk, this Li Shifo turned out to be a person who didn't know what to say. Don't take it lightly? Xiaoqiang, he actually said that you should not take it lightly? You said that he lost like this today, and he still dared to say such a thing? Xiaoqiang, you said that he is not arrogant. ”

"Hehe, he's not arrogant, he's just proud."

"Proud ...... Proud? Xiaoqiang, what do you mean by this? ”

At this time, Li Xiaoqiang had already walked to the door of the dormitory, and he stopped and glanced at reporter Zhang Da. Then pretended to sigh and lined up the shoulders of the big reporters:

"Alas...... There are some things you don't understand, and you can't tell you clearly. Then you can watch it again, and when you see the game the day after tomorrow, you may understand what he means. ”

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang turned around and left.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang knew that many people did not understand Li Shifo's words. This is just like in the previous life, when Ma Xiaofei and Li Shifo competed for the first place in the world, many people didn't understand that Ma Xiaofei knew that Li Shifo's official kung fu was good, but he wanted to compete with him in the official.

In Ma Xiaofei's original words, he did this because he wanted to knock down his opponent where he was strongest.

And what about today's game of chess? Is Li Shifo the same as Ma Xiaofei thinks? Is he trying to knock himself out where he's at his strongest?

Li Xiaoqiang believes that this should be the case. The reason why Li Shifo did this is because he, like Ma Xiaofei, they are both proud people.

"The day after tomorrow 2nd set ......"

Li Xiaoqiang thought about it at the door, then turned around and entered the room with a strange smile. Leaving reporter Zhang Da there alone inexplicably:

"Trick the void, drink some wine and make the void. I'm most annoyed by this, and I'm most annoyed by people who say half and half stay...... (To be continued......)
