After hearing that Mr. Wu Qingyuan wanted to meet Li Xiaoqiang, Yu Bin and others were full of envy. I had the heart to visit Master Wu together, but Mr. Wu's home was a little far away from the competition venue. Considering that there was still a game on the second day, Yu Bin and others had to endure the pain and cut their love and did not accompany them.

Only Mr. Lin Haifeng and reporter Zhang Da accompanied Li Xiaoqiang to the past. Of course, since Li Xiaoqiang had already opened his mouth to "invite", there was a small tail behind him, that is, Yukari Umezawa.

"Child, I just wanted to send you a message when I called you over this time......"

When the group met Mr. Wu Qingyuan. Master Wu doesn't seem to understand human feelings at all, and he doesn't even have a polite word. When he saw Li Xiaoqiang, he ignored the others. He stared at Li Xiaoqiang tightly, and he went straight to the point.

Before everyone could react, Mr. Wu was still talking to himself, and he said to Li Xiaoqiang seriously:

"Alas, I originally wanted to ask Haifeng to help me bring this sentence to you, but after thinking about it, forget it, I have to say this sentence to you personally. So I'm sorry to call you here. ”

After expressing his meaning clearly, Master Wu seemed to finally know that he was polite. However, it is obvious that when everyone understands what Mr. Wu means, not to mention Li Xiaoqiang, even Yukari Umezawa and others are so excited that their faces are flushed.

"Mr. Wu wants to send me a sentence, looking at his solemn appearance, this sentence seems to be very important, so important that he must tell me in person. Let Mr. Lin take the words, he is not at ease. This...... What is this statement? ”

You can't blame Li Xiaoqiang for being excited, and he recalls it seriously. In the Go world, who has Master Wu personally instructed? The only thing that everyone is familiar with is the famous "ordinary heart". And this sentence was not said by Master Wu himself to Mr. Lin, he asked someone to bring a message to Mr. Lin.

Of course, Mr. Hayashi only relied on his "normal heart" to defeat Mr. Sakata in the end. This should still be debatable. But anyway. The story of "Ordinary Heart" has become an allusion and a good story in the Go world. This is a great story that surpasses the world of Go!

"What Master Wu wants to say to Xiaoqiang today, can it achieve another good story in the Go world? …… And I, I seemed to be there. Am I witnessing a good story? Well, it's a real scoop. A scoop that was more meaningful than that game and more eye-catching than Xiaoqiang's loss to Takemiya......"

Thinking of this, reporter Zhang Da was so excited that he trembled. Even after Umezawa started the association, she was also so excited that her face was flushed. Only Mr. Lin's expression did not change, and he always had a generous smile on his face.

It's a pity, though. When Master Wu said this sentence that everyone wanted to know very much, reporter Zhang Da was a little disappointed. When he hadn't fully figured it out, he felt that this sentence was a bit ordinary, a little ordinary. It's so ordinary that it has nothing to do with "scoops".

"Child, I just want to tell you that no matter what situation you encounter in the future, I hope you will not waver in your faith. Can you do it? ”

After saying this, Master Wu didn't say anything more. At this moment. His eyes were firmly fixed on Li Xiaoqiang, and there was even a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Li Xiaoqiang would not agree.

Reporter Zhang Da's disappointment is quite normal. In his opinion, "stick to your convictions and do not waver". This should be a must-have quality for a professional chess player. If you want to make a difference in the path of professional Go. This is a must. In other words, Mr. Wu's sentence should be suitable for every professional chess player. Even if he said such things to Umezawa, there would be no problem.

What can be done. Master Wu had to solemnly call Li Xiaoqiang to his residence, and then ask him such an ordinary question alone. Seeing Mr. Wu's nervous appearance, he seemed to be afraid that Li Xiaoqiang would not agree. That's weird. For this kind of big road goods problem, will Li Xiaoqiang not agree? Is there a reason why he shouldn't say yes?

What really made reporter Zhang Da feel strange finally happened. Faced with this question that was not a problem, Li Xiaoqiang lowered his head, his brows were tightly locked, he seemed to be thinking about a very serious issue and making a very difficult choice.

After a long time, Li Xiaoqiang finally raised his head, and he smiled wryly:

"Mr. Wu, I really want to promise you? But I'm afraid I won't be able to. Well, you can help me answer a few doubts, and then I will decide whether to answer you or not. ”

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang didn't care about it and walked straight to the chessboard. Still in Master Wu's house, Li Xiaoqiang didn't see much other things, and the chessboard and chess pieces were still everywhere.

Seeing Li Xiaoqiang's actions, it once again made Umezawa feel that this person was rude. In her opinion, it was too "rude" to do so. This is Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, who is known as the "Showa Chess Saint"! Although your Li Xiaoqiang's chess is very good, he may be regarded as a "future leader". But can you compare with Mr. Wu? In any case, you are only "in the future", and not to mention that what the future will be in is not certain......

Mr. Wu called you over, because he looked up to you. You still have a long way to go, and at the same time, you just lost a game, so I want to encourage you, and at the same time, I want to point you out. You see that you are good, will Mr. Wu still beg you to agree? Before answering the question, he dared to put forward any conditions. This person...... It's so rude.

"I'm so sorry! He ......"

Yukari Umezawa almost blurted out. Immediately reacted quickly, and a pretty face turned red again:

"I ...... What's wrong with me, it's obvious that he's not polite, why should I say I'm sorry? This...... What does this matter to me......"

Fortunately, Japanese people are used to saying "I'm sorry", but unfortunately when they say this, they often say it without intention, and in most cases, people don't see a little sincerity. It's just a habit. So no one else took it to heart. When Mei Ze was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, Zhang Zhidong just glanced at her strangely, and was immediately attracted by the changes in Li Xiaoqiang's swing on the chessboard.

When you come to Mr. Wu's "territory", it is impossible not to play chess. As long as you come to this place, then everyone must have such an awareness. Indeed, in addition to Go, everyone really doesn't know what Lu Dao and Mr. Wu say. For this point, reporter Zhang Da is obviously also mentally prepared. On the way here, he knew that Li Xiaoqiang would definitely take advantage of this opportunity. Ask for some confusion about Go.

To be honest, reporter Zhang Da was even ready to "steal teachers". In his opinion, the problem that can confuse Li Xiaoqiang must be a rather "advanced" question. If you can learn a trick and a half...... It's not necessarily easy to use, so it's definitely okay to take it out and show it off.

Naturally, everyone was quickly attracted by Li Xiaoqiang's gestures, and even Mr. Lin Haifeng seemed to be interested.

Li Xiaoqiang's gesture of posing quickly stopped. Yes, he only made 3 moves on the board. Although there are only 3 moves, this type seems to be very famous. This chess type is the famous "Double Flying Swallow" in Go.

Li Xiaoqiang respectfully asked Master Wu for advice.

"Mr. Wu, "Start and fly, it's not too tight", what do you think? ”

When Zhang Zhidong heard Li Xiaoqiang ask such a question. He began to get excited, and he even vaguely felt that Master Wu's true purpose in calling Li Xiaoqiang over. Li Xiaoqiang's question seems simple, but it actually involves the problem of the concept of Go and the problem of the inheritance of Go. Li Xiaoqiang asked Mr. Wu such a question. That's a perfect fit.

"Double Swallow" is a fixed formula in Go. If it is to be strictly divided, it belongs to a "star formula". It is precisely because it has such an identity. Therefore, it is different from the formulas of "big avalanche" and "big oblique thousand changes". The latter famous Go formulas belong to the "small order formula". They are all developed on the basis of starting with "small eyes". So. A stereotype similar to the "Great Avalanche" can be called a "Japanese stereotype". Because ancient Chinese chess has a "seat", there is no basis for the development of "small eyes".

And "Double Delphinium" is different because it is a fixed formula developed on the "star position". Therefore, the history of this formula is very old. Even the name "Double Feiyan" is an authentic domestic product.

In modern times, of course, not many people distinguish the "origin" of stereotypes. Play Go however you want. As long as it works easy, it's fine. Interestingly, the "Double Delphinium" formula, while famous, is also very common in modern games. However, it has not been a "popular formula", especially after the new century, when the "Korean Wave" is very popular, such changes are not often seen.

What many people don't know is that in ancient times in our country, "double flying swallows" were once very popular. When Fan Xiping and Shi Xiangxia stood side by side. This change has occurred relatively rarely. In Zhou Xiaosong's era, in the pair game, "Double Feiyan" is even more rare.

What really interests Li Xiaoqiang is not the formula of "Double Flying Swallow" itself. Rather, it's the reason why it's "not popular". It's this kind of problem that Li Xiaoqiang is really confused about. It's also what he finds interesting.

"Double Feiyan" is no longer popular in ancient Chinese chess. It's because of the phrase "starting and flying, it's not too tight". According to the theory of ancient Chinese chess, the formula of "double flying swallows" may not be a good choice. In this case, it may be "pushed too hard". This is not enough to be calm. There is a suspicion of "too tight". The so-called "not too tight" means this.

And what about modern Go? I feel that "Double Flying Swallow" is very strict and is a very good offensive method. It is precisely this understanding that this stereotype is also not popular.

The reasoning behind this is very easy to understand. For example, if you play black in the "star" position, you are afraid that others will play "double swallows" and feel that it is unfavorable for you to play this way, so when white pieces are hung on the corners, unless it is a special case, black will generally make a move to prevent the change of "double swallows". In this way, this stereotype will definitely not be popular.

With such a comparison, it will be very interesting. It's also a formula that can't be popularized. The principles used are diametrically opposed, even completely opposite.

In this, who is right and who is wrong? Or can you tell the difference between right and wrong?

"Hehe, interesting, very interesting. It's hard for you to start thinking about such questions. Yes, it's really good, I really didn't misread you......"

After Master Wu learned about Li Xiaoqiang's confusion, he felt very relieved, and at this moment, he felt that Li Xiaoqiang understood what he meant.

That's right! Li Xiaoqiang also felt that he understood what Mr. Wu meant. That's why he didn't dare to answer his question easily. In Li Xiaoqiang's opinion, in front of a real master, he doesn't seem to have such qualifications!

The so-called "stick to your own beliefs and do not waver", so what is Li Xiaoqiang's Go philosophy? Then of course he wants to "fuse" and integrate the essence of ancient Chinese chess into modern Go! This is Li Xiaoqiang's only belief in Go, and it is also the reason why he chose Go in his life.

Li Xiaoqiang even believes that in today's era, only he can be regarded as Mr. Wu's "bosom friend". It's not too much to say that you are the only bosom friend. Because only Mr. Wu is the first person to really take the step of "integration".

"I grew up studying Chinese ancient scores, and when I came to Japan, I had all those tricks in my head. As we all know, the thinking of ancient Chinese chess is very different from that of Japanese Go. That's why I often think when I'm playing, "Why can't I play like that......?"

These are Mr. Wu's exact words. In his time, he did just that, and he always practiced it. Is this one of the secrets of his true strength?

It has been more than 3 years since Li Xiaoqiang was reborn, with the broadening of his horizons and the improvement of his Go level. He felt it more and more now. Mr. Wu was able to reach the point of "letting the world see 3 eyes", which should be one of the important reasons.

Of course. Li Xiaoqiang's wish is beautiful, but if he wants to do it, it is difficult. For example, a question like "Flying with both hands is not too tight". It has nothing to do with the specific Go move. This kind of thing is more of an explanation of the idea of Go. And this kind of Go thinking represents a Go concept. If the guiding ideology of playing chess is different, then the moves that fall on the board will definitely be completely different. If you encounter such an incompatible thought, or even a diametrically opposed idea. How should it be "integrated"?

When Li Xiaoqiang practices in the future, should he "use the past for the present" or "use the past for the past"? This is the problem that Li Xiaoqiang must solve, and it is also the place where he is most confused.

After Mr. Wu saw Li Xiaoqiang's question, he knew Li Xiaoqiang's true thoughts. So he will be pleased.

Indeed, such a question is very interesting. If you play chess with the ideas of ancient Chinese chess. As a black player, he is not afraid of white playing "double swallows" at all. Because they think: "It's not too tight to start and fly". If White also believes in such a theory, then the formula of "Double Swift" cannot be played.

If you firmly believe in the modern theory of Go, "Double Feiyan" will also not be able to play. As a white player, of course, this move is very much desired. If black uses the same Go idea, then he can prevent white from playing a "double swallow".

These two lines of thought are so-for-tat, so incompatible. If you want to "integrate", can such contradictions be reconciled?

Li Xiaoqiang looked at Mr. Wu quietly, he was waiting for the master to help him show him the way. (To be continued......)
