"I am very happy to be in China again. As everyone knows, compared with last year, Li Sang has made great progress. He has grown from a mysterious teenager in Go to a wizard on the chessboard. His appearance is not only a blessing for the Chinese chess world, but also a blessing for the entire Go world. Everyone knows that I was no match for him last year, so I will definitely be even worse than him this year. Hehe, it's because of this that I don't have any pressure on me. Even if I end up losing, Japanese chess fans won't blame me. The task of blocking Li Sang is still handed over to Yamashiro-kun, who appears later. I was asked what I'm going to do with this match, and I'll be honest with you, I'm going to see Li Sang's growth with a completely relaxed mindset. After that, I want to say to my opponent: Li Sang, I'm ready, please let the horse come! ”

At the pre-match reception, Mr. Ohira completely put on a posture of "mourning soldiers". It even seems a little tragic. His words naturally won the applause of the audience. After listening to his words, Li Xiaoqiang had to sigh below:

"Tsk, that's a beautiful thing to say, it's a combination of rigidity and softness. With these words, it was easy to transfer all the pressure to my side. It's a pity that Go is too niche. If these remarks were made by the coach of a Western professional football team, they would be touted as some kind of "psychological warfare". This is natural, Mr. Ohira's words are at least much stronger than their "war of words......"

Li Xiaoqiang, of course, will not be affected by these words. If this can affect Li Xiaoqiang, then he is not qualified to become a qualified professional Go player at all.

"Everyone knows that last year I was lucky enough to pick up a game of chess from Daping's predecessors. For the praise of Daping's predecessors, I really dare not take it. Has my Go level improved? In fact, I also want to know the Tao myself. I'm glad to have this opportunity, so let me be reviewed by Ohira's seniors again......"

When the ring match was rekindled, there seemed to be a lot more reporters who came to Shencheng to cover the ring match suddenly than usual. Especially after Zhang Zhidong's broken article was published in the newspaper. Everyone suddenly found that the climax of this ring competition seemed to have really arrived in advance.

That's why you think so. In fact, most people's judgment is the same as Zhang Zhidong's. For the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Daping, everyone is more optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang. Whether it is the Chinese Go community or the Japanese Go community. Whether it is professionals or ordinary Go enthusiasts, they seem to be more optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang. It should be said that everyone's analysis is still very objective, and Mr. Ohira is close to the age of sixteen after all. The energy and physical strength are not as good as before. His recent form seems to have dropped a lot compared to the previous period. According to Li Xiaoqiang's performance this year, everyone has every reason to be more optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang.

If Li Xiaoqiang can pass the level of Daping Xiusan. Then this game is just good, it is a high climax. At that time, the "5-game winning streak" was still secondary. If Li Xiaoqiang can invite out of the Yamashiro Hongjiu Duan, he will not discuss the "one-shot clearance" first. "Straight to the Yellow Dragon" is a good gimmick. That's why a large number of journalists have gathered in Shencheng.

In the capital, there are also a lot of people who are watching this game. On the day of the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Daping Shuzo, Dong Lao came to the national Go team early. When he saw Nie Whirlwind, he couldn't help but say, first came to a "reprimand" that split his head and covered his face:

"I said Xiao Nie, you are really calm. It's not that I'm talking about you, you're a bit incompetent as a manager. In such an important game, you didn't go to Shencheng to suppress the battle, what did you say you were doing in the capital......

"Hahaha, I can't accept such criticism from you, Dong Lao. If I go to Shencheng, it will only be a disadvantage. There is no benefit at all. Do you think I don't want to go to Shencheng? To tell you the truth, if everyone hadn't stopped me, I would have been itching for a long time, and I couldn't wait to see such a good show on the spot. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by your Go team? ”

"Huh. Dong Lao, let me ask you first, which one are you more optimistic about the match between Xiaoqiang and Daping? ”

"Needless to say, Xiaoqiang and Shancheng are not necessarily. Xiaoqiang and Da Ping, of course I am optimistic about our Xiaoqiang. Ha Luha, Xiaoqiang, this kid is really amazing. Tsk, genius, he's a genius, it's only been a long time, he's ...... Anyway, I'm just optimistic about Xiaoqiang in this game, what is the opinion of your Go team? ”

"Our Go team's analysis is the same as yours, and we are more optimistic about Xiaoqiang. Regardless of which aspect we look at, we all believe that Xiaoqiang is more likely to win. Dong Lao, have you noticed, whether it is an amateur chess fan like you or a professional chess player like us? are more optimistic about Xiaoqiang. Has this been the case before? Or, has Xiaoqiang encountered this situation before? ”

"This ......"

At this time, Team Leader Hua on the side explained with a smile:

"Hehe, that's why we didn't let Lao Nie go to the scene. The pressure on a chess player comes not only from inside the board, but also from outside the board. In our opinion, Xiaoqiang has never encountered this kind of pressure before. In the past, this pressure has often been on his opponents. There is nothing to say about the technique, and we believe that Xiaoqiang will not be worse than Mr. Ohira. In our opinion, whether Xiaoqiang can resist the pressure from outside the chessboard is the key to this game. In Go matches, it is not uncommon for a large heat to be poured into the heat. ”

"Ha Lu haha, that's right, your analysis is reasonable, it seems that I blamed Xiao Nie ......"

Obviously, people like Dong Lao are not used to admitting mistakes. After he "confessed his mistake", he quickly found a new target of "anger":

"What do you say about this little Zhang from the Shencheng Evening News? Why is he not sensible? Knowing that this game is very important, and he has to put pressure on Xiaoqiang, isn't he adding to the chaos? ”

Poor reporter Zhang Da unknowingly "lay down". After all, he was lucky, after all, he was mixed in the Go circle, and there were many kind-hearted people in the Go circle. Team Leader Hua is such a kind person:

"Hehe, Dong Lao has nothing to do. Xiao Zhang's writing of that prediction article is actually beneficial. In our opinion, this game is a test for Xiaoqiang. It is a test that is different from other games, whether you can resist the pressure from outside the chessboard, it depends on Xiaoqiang himself, and others can't help. As Xiaoqiang grows, he will encounter more and more of this situation. This is a hurdle he must pass. Be sure to pass it anyway! ”

"Hahaha, let's see. How did we Xiaoqiang get through this......"

Looking at what Dong Lao meant, he seems to have great confidence in Li Xiaoqiang. He thinks that Li Xiaoqiang has passed this level, and it is definitely not a problem. But when the game goes on in the afternoon, between 2:30 and 3 p.m. to be exact. Dong Lao's confidence in Li Xiaoqiang was shaken. Not only was it shaken, but many people who cared about Li Xiaoqiang, like Dong Lao, were simply tormented in that half an hour.

What's going on on the chessboard?

This is the second time that Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Ohira have met in a match. It's still a ring match, and it's still Mr. Ohira who is in charge. Naturally, these two militants bumped into each other. Still fighting on the chessboard. Soon after the start of the game, a scuffle situation formed on the chessboard.

It should be said that everyone's analysis is still reasonable, when the chess game is in the afternoon, although it cannot be said that Li Xiaoqiang's white chess is good, but at least it will not lag behind. On the chessboard is a stalemate.

"Hehe, if Mr. Ohira doesn't take advantage of the mid-game. Xiaoqiang will have a good chance of winning. If you don't really understand Xiaoqiang's officials, you won't know how powerful his officials are. ”

It was Liu Da Hammer who said this. In the viewing room of Shencheng, a group of chess players from the national team were playing chess there. Most of them have a relaxed expression. Liu Dazhui's words are understandable, after all, not long ago. He was impressed by the process of "looking for 5 moves". At present, more than 80 chess games have been played, and although the two sides of the game are very lively, they have nothing to do with the "danger". Generally speaking, it is still a "stalemate" situation.

"This game will decide the winner in the second half of the game."

When everyone has this understanding, especially now that the time seems to be very early. Li Xiaoqiang's white chess is not far behind. Naturally, everyone is more relaxed.

No one expected that the most crucial part of this game would come soon. At around 2 p.m., when Mr. Ohira dropped his 91st move, everyone was stunned. Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro was stunned. Nie Whirlwind, who was watching the game in the capital, was stunned, the Chinese chess players who watched the game in the Shencheng viewing room were stunned, and even Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Da reporters were stunned.

"This ...... This. Isn't black chess afraid of people "breaking"? What does he mean by this move, how do I feel that as long as Xiaoqiang is "broken", the black chess will collapse immediately? This...... Is this my delusion? ”

Now the problem is very simple, Zhang Zhidong is also an amateur master, if it is not his delusion, it is Mr. Ohira's delusion.

Whose delusion is it?

There was a commotion in the research room, and everyone soon began to study enthusiastically. After just a few minutes, all the Chinese chess players were overjoyed. Everyone came to a clear conclusion:

It was Mr. Ohira, who was holding black, who had the illusion! As long as White's next move is "broken", the whole situation will be out of control, with a local loss of more than 20 meshes. In a game of this level, with such a loss, black simply cannot sustain it. There seems to be no other choice than to stand up and admit defeat immediately.

In the viewing room, everyone stopped studying the chess game. Everyone is waiting for Li Xiaoqiang to make the most decisive move. Indeed, such a move is very simple, and it only took a few minutes for everyone to fully figure it out. According to Li Xiaoqiang's level, it is impossible for him not to see such a means, and there is no reason not to see such a means.

In the research room, the impatient even started talking about the next game.

"It's strange, it's been 10 minutes, why hasn't Xiaoqiang made a move?"

"Ha Luha, Xiao Qiang was obviously stunned by the pie that fell from the sky. There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, and when he encounters such a thing, he must verify it. It's normal, it's normal! When his dizziness is over, we can close the stall......

"Haha......"

A cheerful laugh rang out in the viewing room. Time is moving forward bit by bit, and the laughter in the viewing room is getting less and less, and another emotion is brewing:

"This ...... What's going on? It's been 20 minutes. Why hasn't Xiaoqiang fallen yet, he ...... He wouldn't have had a delusion, would he......"

I don't know who Lu Dao is, and suddenly such a sentence came out, which made the entire viewing room silent. Indeed, these are Go connoisseurs, and they know that this is entirely possible. Although Mr. Ohira made a mistake, his move was also a "tesuji" after all, but a "tesuji" that did not hold up in this part. In professional matches, it is not uncommon for both sides of the game to "go in and out wrongly". Li Xiaoqiang has not fallen for so long, and he may not have noticed the simple "break" step. It's entirely possible that he will be led into the ditch by his opponent.

While this is a very likely scenario, it is clear that there are people who are unwilling to accept such a reality. Indeed, no one wants to let go of pie falling from the sky. Someone is looking for a reason for Li Xiaoqiang again:

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, I believe Xiaoqiang must have seen that step "broken". He has always been very careful and cautious in his game of chess. I see, this is his prudence. It's normal for him to take a little longer to check. Everyone recalls that when he played against Mr. Ohira last year, he almost fell into the trap set by Mr. Ohira. When playing against Mr. Ohira, he will definitely have to spend a little more time to distinguish whether it is a "pie" or a "trap". I think this is also human nature, understandable, understandable......"

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the viewing room seemed to be a little loose. Indeed, there seems to be some truth to such an analysis. At this time, the atmosphere in the viewing room was more delicate, and the "illusion theory" and the "cautious theory" were tied.

Time is still passing bit by bit, Li Xiaoqiang still has not fallen, at this time, the balance of the viewing room has been broken again. Once again, the "illusion theory" has gained the upper hand.

"Hey, it's a pity, it seems that Xiaoqiang still hasn't resisted such pressure......"

Indeed, Li Xiaoqiang still hasn't discovered such a simple method, which can only show that he hasn't seen such a method. He had the same delusion as Mr. Ohira. This kind of thing is definitely not his real level of Go, and he can't find the reason on the chessboard, so he can only find the reason outside the chessboard.

"Xiaoqiang still hasn't passed this level after all?"

At around half past two in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqiang had been taking the test for nearly half an hour. This notion has become mainstream, and of course, "prudence" will not be easily abandoned. Zhang Zhidong is a staunch "cautious person," and he sees that the "cautious theory" has become more and more untenable. Reporter Zhang Da had no choice but to choose a new reason for Li Xiaoqiang:

"Ha Luha, I said you guys were just thinking nonsense there. How could Xiaoqiang not see such a move. If you want me to say, people are small and strong and high in this place. ’

"Where is the height?"

"Let's think about it, if Xiaoqiang breaks that step, will it be a decisive hand, and whether Mr. Daping will stand up immediately. The whole chess game is coming to an end, what does Xiaoqiang have to leave so much time for? If you want me to say, Xiao Qiang is the real general's demeanor, and when he encounters this kind of decisive judgment, he is always very calm, which has always been Xiao Qiang's greatest strength......"

Reporter Zhang Da's voice is getting lower and lower, and it is obvious that he himself does not believe that Li Xiaoqiang has any "general demeanor".

Is it a "general's demeanor" or an "illusion"? The results will soon be known.

In the game room, Li Xiaoqiang gently twisted a white ...... (To be continued......)
