The first China Go Tianyuan Tournament ended. After the two sides fought 1-1 in the first two games, Ma Xiaofei defeated Nie Whirlwind in the third game of rapid chess and became China's first Tian Yuan.

In the subsequent award ceremony, Li Xiaoqiang looked at the two chess players on the stage and felt infinite emotion in his heart. The current Nie Whirlwind is only 35 years old, and at that time, it seemed that it was the golden age of a chess player's life. It was true at that time that the 35-year-old Nie Whirlwind was still in his ascending period. He has not yet reached the peak of his chess game, he has not yet reached the peak of his life.

Ma Xiaofei is only 23 years old, in the eyes of others, this is a hairy young man, a young talent with a bright future, and he is still in the growth stage.

If this phenomenon is put in the Go world 25 years later, it will basically be dissected as a "supernatural event". Why does this happen? Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what to say.

The skills of Go are improving and accumulating. Li Xiaoqiang admits this. It can be said that the younger generations of the little leopards in later generations have more understanding of Go than their predecessors, and Li Xiaoqiang will never admit it.

It is a fact that the later generations of Go are more informative, the training is more scientific, and the development time is earlier. Top chess players are starting to call themselves veterans at the age of 30, and they are starting to leave the professional front line at the age of 35. In this case, is it a good thing for Go? No, definitely not a good thing.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that the progress of Go skills depends on the promotion of genius. It can't be by scientific training. Some people say, you Li Xiaoqiang are engaged in feudal superstition, don't believe in science. Are you sure?

The 100-meter track and field race before the birth of "Lightning" Bolt. The competition is fierce enough, the training is scientific enough, and some people are already talking about whether the human limit is 9.70 seconds. What now?

For this kind of human limit-like problem, Go is actually the same as the 100-meter race. Whether talent is more important or scientific training is more important, no one can say. Scientific training is only a necessary condition. It's a pity that the Go environment of later generations. squeezed the living space of peerless geniuses. The requirements for "skill" in Go have been greatly enhanced, and the requirements for "art" have been greatly weakened. Over time, people have the misconception that Go is a "skill". Doing so is also a hazard to Go.

The same is an example of athletics. In athletics, 100 runs are definitely the best. The marathon is also very meaningful. But the most difficult thing to practice is that there is a consensus in the track and field world. It must have been a 400-meter run with both speed and endurance. Later Go competitions were like running in 400 meters, requiring a very balanced balance of speed and endurance. The training required is very scientific. Therefore, if you have good grades, you are not required to be the fastest, nor do you need to have the best endurance. You can do the most balanced. The most scientific is on the line.

But no one can deny that the 400-meter run is certainly not as exciting as the 100-meter run, nor is it as connotative as the marathon. The Go of later generations was similar, and there were fewer and fewer 100-meter runners like Gu Dali and Li Shishi. Marathon runners like Li Shifo and Kong Erjie have no room to survive. All running 400 meters. What is the charm of Go?

Li Xiaoqiang thought about this question silently. Of course, he doesn't have any good solutions, but since he has chosen the path of Go in this life. I don't want to retire at the age of 30. At the age of 30, it is certainly no problem to be called "Teacher Li". However, when others bumped into themselves in the game, they secretly rejoiced while shouting "Teacher Li" in their mouths. This situation must not be promised, and it must not be promised.

"There must be a way!"

Li Xiaoqiang thought as he walked. At the same time, it is secretly funny. I am only 12 years old now, and I am actually thinking about becoming "Teacher Li" in the future.

"Well, I'm a bit open-minded."

After all the games, Li Xiaoqiang returned to his hometown of Cuiwei County.

When Li Xiaoqiang proposed to go home, Team Leader Hua was very strange. In his opinion. Li Xiaoqiang has now confirmed the Chinese squad for the 3rd edition of the Ring Tournament. Considering his actual level and age, although there are expectations for him, there are no requirements for his results in general. The pressure to let him see the world and experience the most important international competitions is the main thing.

The pre-game training camp is the usual practice of the Go team, and the team leader Hua naturally thinks that he wants to bring Li Xiaoqiang back to the capital. Participate in the daily training of the national team. But considering the fact that he played chess once he went home......

For such a "technical" problem, Team Leader Hua did not dare to call the shots. Find the "Technique" leader of the Go team, Nie Whirlwind, and Nie Coach to discuss. Coach Nie waved his hand very imposingly:

"It's fine. Xiaoqiang, this kid is very assertive. He must have a reason for going back, and maybe he really has some special method. Besides, I trained in the Go team for a few months. Is the effect really good? Back in the day. I ...... when I was in the Great Northern Wilderness"

Li Xiaoqiang returned home like this.

Li Xiaoqiang wants to go home, and engaging in feudal superstition is one reason. Li Xiaoqiang now finds that he is becoming more and more superstitious, people are like this, and when he finds something that is beneficial to him, he doesn't want to change him. Li Xiaoqiang now finds himself home for a few months, and his chess skills have improved significantly. Although Zhilu Dao is definitely not because he stays at home, this is definitely unreliable, but he still doesn't want to change him.

"Maybe I'll be practicing at home for a few months......"

This, of course, is feudal superstition. In order to prove that he is not a superstitious person, Li Xiaoqiang still found a reason for himself. He was afraid that he would be assimilated after training in the capital and would have no characteristics of his own.

That's right, that's what Li Xiaoqiang thinks. Fear of assimilation.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that his thinking was different from others. His Go ideas come from later generations, but his Go level is still very low, and he is definitely not as good as the members of the national team. If in your usual training and communication, do you think brightly? Or is it smoothed out and annihilated by others. Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what to say in his heart. I don't know the bottom of my heart.

"If you want to collide, you have to collide in the official competition. I need to keep my own things, even if it's wrong, even if it's plausible, I'd rather understand it myself, to understand it. ”

With such a guiding ideology, Li Xiaoqiang returned to his hometown to continue his cultivation. The method is still the same as before, just a few tricks. There are a lot more materials on a trip to Lu, and there are a lot more Go books and games.

Li Xiaoqiang stayed in his room, facing a chessboard. Take a chess game and play there. After a while, Li Xiaoqiang put down the chess game, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Still won't work......"

Since learning Liu Changhe's unique trick "Chess Score Kombat", Li Xiaoqiang has found that the effect is really good. This approach is a bit like practicing "two-handed play". Dual-minded. At least my prediction ability has improved a lot.

In the past game, I found that when I guessed where my opponent's next move would be, the accuracy rate was relatively high. At the very least, a lot of chess doesn't come as a surprise.

With this experience, Li Xiaoqiang strengthened his practice in this area. When playing contemporary chess, my speed is getting faster and faster, and I am gaining more and more. But I typed a Chinese ancient genealogy......

Li Xiaoqiang is now playing an ancient Chinese score, let alone 5 minutes, 10 minutes can't be finished. Li Xiaoqiang knew that he still didn't understand the idea of ancient chess. Due to the different rules. It can be said that ancient Chinese chess and modern Go are two completely different games. So why is it, at least on the surface, that ancient Chinese chess is becoming more and more similar to the "violent Go" of later generations?

"Globally Linked Battles"

Is it true or fake?

Li Xiaoqiang felt that in this regard, he should deepen his research and understanding. However, Li Xiaoqiang knew that his current strength was not enough, and these things should not be rushed, but should be taken slowly. What's more, I have more important things to do now. That is, now he must take action to "teach a lesson" to Zhao Dabao.

It's only been half a month since I left. Li Xiaoqiang discovered. His limelight was actually stolen by Zhao Dabao, a kid.

Due to various large climates and microclimates, Cuiwei County has actually set off a Go fever. This is a real Go craze, and more and more elementary and middle school students are learning Go. Especially in Cuiwei Middle School, playing Go has a faint tendency to become the "first sport". Since the current level is good. Zhao Dabao actually became the star of the school. Zhao Dabao was originally good at studying, coupled with a cheerful personality and a good image, and now his Go level is also one of the best in school. There's a real tendency to become a school idol. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang is also an idol. However, this idol is relatively mysterious, and ordinary people can't learn it. Zhao Dabao is different, this is a civilian idol. Everyone felt cordial, and of course it was more welcome.

Originally, Li Xiaoqiang was also happy to see his old friend become an idol. can find that Zhao Dabao, this kid, is becoming more and more disrespectful to himself, destroying his glorious image everywhere outside, and the most excessive thing is that he actually boasted everywhere that he couldn't let him 4.

Li Xiaoqiang was angry, and said in his heart that you go up the tree, dig out the birds, and go down to the river to fish, that is your advantage. I can't compare to you, mind games are my traditional strength, can you be provocative in this field?

Under the mediation of good deeds, Li Xiaoqiang VS Zhao Dabao became an open match. The time is on April Fool's Day. That is, the third day after the "War of the Century" between Nie Whirlwind and Wu Palace.

Li Xiaoqiang secretly sneered, and Zhao Dabao was gearing up. What makes Li Xiaoqiang depressed is that Zhao Dabao has more supporters. It's not that there are more people who are optimistic about Zhao Dabao, it's just that there seem to be more people cheering for Zhao Dabao. Especially my classmates, I don't have an obvious supporter.

"How can I be so bad after being born again? There is really no reason. ”

Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to find a reason for himself in his heart:

"Well, I play chess with Dabao, which is considered a professional VS amateur. Others, of course, count as amateurs, and amateurs support amateurs as a matter of course. This is a special case, and I can't say that I don't have fans......"

Li Xiaoqiang comforted himself, and Zhao Dabao's mood became more and more urgent.

The day has finally come to teach Zhao Dabao a lesson. Before that, Nie Whirlwind also won in the "War of the Century". That game attracted unprecedented attention in China, and it was actually broadcast on the news. The domestic Go craze continues to ferment. Li Xiaoqiang knew that at this time, the final result of the 2nd Ring Tournament should not be reversed. The imposing Nie Whirlwind faced the big bamboo hero who had never thought about playing......

Li Xiaoqiang VS Zhao Dabao was held in the classroom. The classmates were all watching in the hip-hop and hip-hop, and Zhao Dabao was proud. Li Xiaoqiang looked at the huge fan group behind him, determined to turn his grief and anger into strength......

Li Xiaoqiang was preparing to teach Zhao Dabao a lesson at the same time, Japan, Tokyo, Japan Chess Academy, the chairman's office.

Chairman: "Mr. Sakata, Mr. Hideyuki, excuse me. I asked you to come here today to discuss with you about the 3rd Japan-China Tournament. I'm really sorry to trouble you with such a thing. ”

Sakata: "Is Otake alone?" How he lined up his troops. ”

Tanaka Rokudan: "I'm really sorry, but it was a mistake on our part. At that time, the task of arranging the troops was handed over to Mr. Otake, who knew that the list he provided was all the disciples of Mugu's disciples? It took a lot of effort for us to adjust a few participants. ”

Hideyuki Fujisawa: "Needless to say, let's think about the arrangements for the next competition." I really didn't expect it, Nie Jun. Awesome! ”

Chairman: "Yes, yes, that's what I think, for whatever reason, for the next tournament, we have to concentrate the best lineup in Japan. My opinion is that there should be at least two "big trebles", let's start with the manager. ”

Tanaka Sixth Dan: "If you go to the last two, can you arrange the domestic title battle?" The dates of these matches are fixed. ”

President: "Now is not the time to think about these things. Originally, I wanted to go to all three, but considering that the domestic competition was not easy to arrange, I decided to go to two. Everyone said. Is the coach Kobayashi a chess master, or is it better to be a Kato celebrity? ”

Sakata: "My opinion is Kato, although he is only a celebrity, but he is now a quadruple champion, and he will probably be a five-time champion soon. In terms of form, he's at the top of his game. Xiuxing, what do you think? ”

Fujisawa Hideyuki: "That's right, they are all about the same level, and they have to pick the strongest camp." Of course, it's mainly about competitive form. The coach is decided, and the chess saint is not good to be the deputy coach, so the martial palace should be the deputy coach. ”

Tanaka Sixth Dan: "What about the three generals?" ”

Chairman: "Looking at the ranking of chess players, it seems that it is still Hiroshi Yamashiro, right?" What do you think? ”

Crowd: "He's reassuring. Deserved. ”

Sakata: "I have an idea. After watching the previous two tournaments, it seems that the young Japanese chess players are not reassuring, so this tournament will have two more veterans. ”

Chairman: "That's a good idea. Our young players are really not reassuring. ”

Hideyuki Fujisawa: "In order to redeem the honor of Japanese Go, there is no way to do it. Then choose the next candidate. If you need us to say hello, we will do our best. ”

Tanaka Liudan: "Hehe, then this competition is really different, we are veterans." The Chinese side has spared no effort in training young chess players. I just got their list, and their mystery teenager is also on the lineup. ”

Hideyuki Fujisawa: "What! Is Li Sang also going to play? I really admire the courage of the Chinese side, and I really look forward to his performance! ”

Sakata: "Is it the indifferent teenager who was so beautiful last year?" I said Xiuxing, why are you making all the fuss? ”

Fujisawa Hideyuki: "Hehe, I have 3 chess games for that kid, and his opponent is Ma Xiaofei, China's No. 2 person. Sakata, I'll show you. ”

Sakata: "Oh, take it and take a look. ”

Hideyuki Fujisawa: "Our lineup has to be carefully chosen, and if China wins three in a row, it won't look good. ”

Tanaka Rokudan: "Yes, we will choose carefully. ”

Chairman of the Board: "I'll need the help of my seniors then, please." ”

Hideyuki Fujisawa: "It's incumbent. ”

Chairman of the Board: "Thank you very much, sir. Nasakada ...... Hey, Mr. Sakata, Mr. Sakata, what are you thinking? ”

Sakata: "Is this child really only 12 years old?" ”

Fujisawa Hideyuki: "Hehe, how do you feel after reading it?" ”

Sakata: "It's a genius idea to face a strong opponent. Also, although there are still many flaws in many ideas, they always make people's eyes shine. He seems to be playing a completely different kind of Go. ”

Mr. Tanaka: "Huh? Is Mr. Sakata's evaluation so high? ”

Hideyuki Fujisawa: "Hehe. ”

Sakata: "You really want to be 20 years younger?" To tell you the truth, I feel the urge to fight him. But when he grows up, I may not be able to play Go anymore. ”

Fujisawa Hideyuki: "Ha Luha, I said Sakata, do you believe it or not, I can bet with you." You'll definitely see him grow. If it will take two years for you to play in the ring, I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. ”

Sakata: "We'll talk about it then. What kind of Go is this? It's fascinating......"

When Fujisawa Hideyuki was looking for someone to bet again, Li Xiaoqiang was restless and his expression was embarrassed. He never thought that Zhao Dabao would progress so fast. I want to teach Zhao Dabao a lesson, and all kinds of means are endless. I didn't expect his "turtle shell" to be so thick that he couldn't chop it open. Seeing that the end game is approaching......

"Hahaha, I said Chubby, what are your eyes rolling. I said a long time ago, I will accept you and let me have two sons at most. You still dare to let me have 4 sons, hum, hurry down, hurry down. I'm telling you, it's useless to think of any conspiracy......"

The sounds of classmates sounded around, among which Liao Qiong and Lin Mengyu were the loudest.

Li Xiaoqiang was annoyed and ashamed, but the situation was irreparable, so he had to say stiffly:

"I'm here to let you ...... Didn't I get it seriously...... Have the ability to ...... If I get serious......"

"Ha Lu Ha Ha".

There was a burst of joyful laughter all around:

"Ha Luha, Xiaoqiang was defeated by Dabao...... "This is classmate A."

"Look at how proud you still dare to be complacent......" This is Liao Qiong's voice.

"I know the way, I know the way, Xiaoqiang just didn't think about it seriously......"

Li Xiaoqiang is happy, at first glance, it is the future beauty Lin Mengyu:

"Xiaoqiang is like being in a daze when he thinks seriously, you see, his eyes are rolling now, how is it like being in a daze? Ha Lu Ha ......"

Li Xiaoqiang asked Cangtian speechlessly:

"Is my image so bad?" (To be continued......)
