Chapter 123: After the game
The game was over, and Li Xiaoqiang entered the semifinals of the first Tianyuan Competition.
It's getting late, but there are still a lot of die-hard chess fans who haven't left. As is customary, when the game is over, the contestants must come out to meet their friends with their fans. It's best to express your thoughts after the game as a thank you for your support. Therefore, the two players did not have time to review, so they came to the chess hall.
Although professional chess players are very miserable after losing. However, Liu Dazhui still congratulated Li Xiaoqiang very graciously.
Don't look at Ma Xiaofei's screams of "wild bulls" and "bandits". That's just to describe their chess style. It is not appropriate to describe a professional Go player as "chess as himself", and if someone describes it that way, he must be a layman.
In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang also had close contact with many professional Go players. There are a lot of powerful and fierce chess players who are more gentle in ordinary life. It's weird.
The two came to the hall. There were no exclamations, no screams, just loud applause. Chess fans thanked the two for their wonderful game with applause. Congratulate Li Xiaoqiang with applause, and comfort Liu Dazhui with applause.
Admittedly, this is a game with a lot of connotation. There are dignified battles, heavy punches at the "eleventh dan level", and defenses at the "thirteen dan level". Of course, the most peculiar thing is that these are not the key points of victory or defeat. The real key to victory or defeat is to start with Li Xiaoqiang's "stinky chess".
But it's a pity that apart from Li Xiaoqiang himself, not many people thought so at the time.
Even if it's Nie Whirlwind, even if it's Ma Xiaofei, even if it's other members of the national team, no one thinks so.
Nie Whirlwind has commented on the overall situation and has already made a summary. At this time, the microphone was handed to Li Xiaoqiang. It's time for the winners' "after-game thoughts".
No one cares what Li Xiaoqiang says, and most chess fans are ready to leave. Because there are a lot of people who haven't eaten dinner yet. Because according to their assumptions, it should be Li Xiaoqiang's words such as "thank you so-and-so", "I won a fluke", "I still need to study seriously", "I will work harder in the future" and so on.
But when Li Xiaoqiang opened his mouth and said the first sentence, most chess fans decided to be hungry for a while.
Li Xiaoqiang walked in front of the big chessboard:
"I think the most critical point in the outcome of this game should be here."
Everyone looked at the place where Li Xiaoqiang's finger was, and a few chess fans were stunned at first. Slowly, most chess fans were stunned. Ma Xiaofei and the others were stunned, and Nie Whirlwind was also stunned.
There is only one person who shines in his eyes, and this person is Liu Dazhui. Only the player knows best, and it is at this time that he feels that the whole game is slowly out of control.
This move by Li Xiaoqiang's finger is the first time Nie Whirlwind criticized the black chess play.
The first to react was actually the martial arts uncle, but he obviously wanted to be crooked:
"Be sure to listen clearly, be sure to listen carefully. Although Nie Whirlwind is very remarkable, it is still a little worse than the "worldly master". Well, the master of the world is really powerful, and his tricks can't even be seen by Nie Whirlwind. Nie Whirlwind actually thought that move was a bad move. I'll just say, if you are not a master in the world, how can you teach such a powerful apprentice. Say it quickly, say it quickly, let's appreciate what a trick appreciating is. I must stay sober and sober, otherwise I won't understand people's tricks......"
Nie Whirlwind didn't think about it so much, and he didn't get angry because Li Xiaoqiang and himself disagreed. He is also an experienced professional chess player. He knew it, sat there playing and playing chess here. These are two completely different feelings. Even if his level is much higher than theirs, his feelings about the chess game are not as deep as those of the parties.
"Oh, is there anything else hidden here?"
Li Xiaoqiang said calmly:
"There are no complicated changes, and I also knew at the time that the official had more than 20 meshes, and this step was less than 20 meshes. I'm just going to make the board bigger......"
"The chessboard expands? Expanding the chessboard in exchange for losses? ”
Some members of the national team began to think:
"What kind of logic is this?"
Liu Dazhui walked up with a wry smile:
"That's right, that's where I started to get my head up. It began to feel like the game was out of control. I myself am inexplicable, knowing that Lu Dao Xiaoqiang is not playing good chess, why am I messing up? ”
The topic did not continue. After all, this is a big deal. The problem has already involved things such as "spoiling the game" that were spurned by the mainstream of Go at the time. The image of our Go prodigy still needs to be maintained. Although it is said that "the winner is king, and the loser is the villain", such a victory is obviously not lofty enough. It does not meet the criteria for comprehensive publicity. After all, Li Xiaoqiang is a children's champion, and this role model should not lead to bad results.
Chess fans left in bewilderment. The most confusing thing is the martial arts uncle:
"What's that? Could it be the "Great Law of Soul Dementoring"? Isn't this a cult martial art? No, no, no, how can a master outside the world use cult martial arts? Well, Huagong Dafa is considered an evil sect, and the Northern Pluto Divine Gong is considered a decent one. Yes, yes, it must be a kung fu like the Northern Spiritual Skill. The world's best people are really powerful......"
Whether it is evil or decent, Li Xiaoqiang has won chess after all. And after 4 rounds in a row, the victories are all domestic first-class masters. Although "disrupting the game" is not good, the hat of "very good at competition" can still be worn on Li Xiaoqiang's head.
Now the organizers of the competition are happy, the Shencheng Evening News is happy, the sponsors are happy, and Zhang Zhidong is also happy. Because of Li Xiaoqiang's outstanding performance, it has brought a great publicity effect to the game. No one else cares how Li Xiaoqiang won. The key is that Li Xiaoqiang is only 12 years old, and he entered the semifinals of the Tianyuan Competition at the age of 12. In this way, the following games are more and more flavorful.
Only Zhang Zhidong had a sad face, he was worried about the title of the article in the semi-finals.
"How do you choose a title?" One three-dan and three nine-dan "? No, no, no, this is too cheesy. You see that people "3 women and 105 men", such a title is popular. The most suitable should be "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu". Hey, if it's three Li Xiaoqiang and one Nie Whirlwind, it's almost ......"
Zhang Zhidong even thought of it with a bad taste:
"It's a pity that Li Xiaoqiang is 12 years old now, if he is only 3 years old, or even 6 years old. Then even the limelight of the war of the century can be completely stolen......"
thought that he actually hoped that Li Xiaoqiang was only 3 years old. Zhang Zhidong was taken aback. While being ashamed of your ideas, you are also proud of your rich imagination. He felt that he could have such a rich imagination entirely because he knew Li Xiaoqiang.
Whether it's to complete the task of the newspaper, or for the desire to write "in-depth" articles for yourself. I have to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Xiaoqiang.
At this point in the competition, Zhang Zhidong believes that the interview is urgent.
"The topic of ancient Chinese chess, the topic of Japanese master moves last time, and the four games of chess in this tournament. Chess is a very good article. Li Xiaoqiang is simply a treasure. Now, it's time to unlock this treasure. And I, the famous journalist Zhang Zhidong, am the first person to appreciate this treasure. ”
Zhang Zhidong quickly listed the outline of the interview, and his heart was proud.
Li Xiaoqiang is now having dinner. Although there were snacks to eat during the game, I kept counting the seconds and didn't even stretch out my hand.
"It's so comfortable."
Li Xiaoqiang touched his stomach. So far, the game has not only surprised others, but also completely exceeded my own expectations. I didn't care much about the outcome of this competition, but I still gained confidence from the victories along the way. Li Xiaoqiang knows that at least at this stage, his own cultivation methods have obvious effects.
"Li Shifo, I am now more and more confident. You can grow under the tempering of your master. And I, Li Xiaoqiang, seem to have found my own way to grow. Let's compete against each other then! ”
Li Xiaoqiang fell asleep.
