"He's in the right style! It's like a regular script with no failures. Hahaha, amazing, amazing! Of all the evaluations about Xiuce's predecessors, this is the most apt and expressive one I have ever heard! What's even more surprising is that this evaluation actually came from Li Sang's mouth. This is really the biggest takeaway from my trip to China. ”

After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, Yamada first showed a surprised expression, and then smiled happily. The most reluctant even bowed solemnly to Li Xiaoqiang:

"Thank you for your evaluation, Li Sang!"

Li Xiaoqiang looked at the Yamada reporter in front of him blankly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Li Xiaoqiang could see that the joy of the Yamada reporter was from the heart. How would you describe his feelings? This is like the month Li Xiaoqiang spent in Japan in his previous life. When he saw a group of Japanese netizens arguing for Su Dongpo, he saw a group of Japanese people giving high praise to Su Da Idol. Li Xiaoqiang is also in a happy mood. Well, this may also be a kind of "national pride".

The only difference is this: Li Xiaoqiang was happy and happy at that time, and the happiness was over. But he will only bury this happy mood in his heart, and will not follow the Japanese and bow everywhere when nothing happens.

Li Xiaoqiang knew more about it, and he shouted for the ancient chess. In fact, there are many people who disagree. Not to mention the Japanese Go world, even the domestic Go world, in fact, there are many people who don't think so. In their minds, the way of playing ancient Chinese chess is the idea that has been eliminated. It has been proven by recent history that it is not possible. The advanced nature of Japanese Go theory is simply unquestionable.

What's even more interesting is that the vast majority of people in this really don't belong to the type of "worshipping foreigners". Since the beginning of the 20th century, due to the decline of ancient Chinese chess, the level of Chinese Go is not at the same level as others. Countless ironclad facts seem to prove a truth: Japanese Go is more advanced than ancient Chinese chess. What should I do if I fall behind? Then, of course, the most correct thing to do is to admit backwardness and gaps. Only then can we learn from the advanced and catch up with and surpass the advanced......

It must be admitted. Many industries in China are doing along this path. To be honest, such a practice should also be the most scientific and correct approach. Such a part of the people can be called truly understanding people. It has nothing to do with "admiring foreign countries". Putting the hat of "admiring foreigners" on their heads is the real ulterior motive.

But that's how people in our country tend to be. A lot of things are habitually overkill. In fact, the attitude towards second-hand chess is the same. Since ancient Chinese chess is a backward way of playing. That's certainly not worth researching. As for those chess games, they should be regarded as the legacy left to us by our ancestors. It's okay to be nostalgic, it's okay to appreciate it. As for learning...... Is there anything else to learn from that thing? You don't bother me, I can't finish learning the "first-in-first" method now.

So. Many people who speak well of medieval chess are instead perceived as a group of people who are unwilling to face reality, and they are narrow-minded nationalists......

Li Xiaoqiang knew that most of the people here have this kind of thought. Suddenly, a Li Xiaoqiang appeared in the Chinese chess world. Although he is known as the "heir of ancient chess", although he talks about "ancient chess thoughts" every day. But not many people take it seriously.

First, Li Xiaoqiang is usually very measured. When he peddles his Go ideas, he generally does not deny other people's opinions. Even if you "despise" the Japanese theory of Go. That's just a joke, and occasionally talk to a very small number of acquaintances such as Zhang Zhidong. He would not have said such things on other occasions. His most fierce words, that is, when he first debuted, had an argument with Mr. Otake Hero in Japan.

Second, come on. Li Xiaoqiang has no influence at the moment. It's okay to say he's a prodigy, and it's okay to say he's a genius. But his current absolute level does not have much weight in the entire Go world. More people are actually the same as Mr. Otake Hero. Li Xiaoqiang's growth is regarded as the credit for the "transformation" of Japan's advanced theories.

For example, just now, Li Xiaoqiang evaluated Xiuce's chess style as "extremely correct". As a Japanese person who really likes Go. As a Go professional who is proud of the Japanese game of Go, Yamada reporter will certainly be proud.

In any case, Li Xiaoqiang is a superstar in the Go world after all. Although his level of Go is not the top, his growth rate is definitely "phenomenal". What's more, he has just become a "celebrity" in the Chinese Go world. Therefore, in the eyes of reporter Yamada, according to Li Xiaoqiang's identity, he is still worthy of bowing.

I saw that the Yamada reporter sincerely saluted him. Li Xiaoqiang was a little embarrassed to argue again. Because if you are entangled, you will seem to be a child.

By this time, the entire "self-war commentary" work was almost complete. However, since the topic of Xiuce is mentioned, reporter Yamada seems to be interested. He began to tell the "glorious history" of Japanese Go. One by one, the stars in the history of Go told from his mouth:

"Haha, Xiuce's predecessor is indeed a great big shot. He's a chess player. By the way, what does Li Sang think of Xiurong's predecessors? In Japan, there is a saying that "Xiuce black, Xiurong white". Xiu Ce's predecessor is a chess master, and Xiu Rong's predecessor, he is known as "a celebrity among celebrities", you can imagine how powerful he is. Among the modern super chess players, there are also many people who highly admire Hideei's predecessors, such as Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki......"

“…… By the way, I seem to have heard Mr. Zhang say that Li Sang admires his predecessors very much. Tsk, the so-called mysterious Taoist policy, just wrist and peace. These are all epoch-making figures in the history of Go......"

Out of courtesy, three Chinese also accompanied a Japanese person to gush there. Fortunately, the Yamada reporter was not worried about the cold scene at all. Since the Japanese have put their own Go history in good order. And has been sparing no effort to promote. Not to mention that these 4 people are all "industry insiders". Even a veteran Chinese chess fan, these historical celebrities in the Japanese Go world. You can also say one, two, three, four. It is no exaggeration to say that from this era to the future, there is a large number of chess fans who are definitely more familiar with the history of Go in Japan than the history of Go in China.

To be honest, such a situation makes Li Xiaoqiang feel a little sad. Li Xiaoqiang has always thought. In this regard, China's Go community has to pay a lot of responsibility. Not only the professional Go community is responsible, but also the Go propaganda media. There is also responsibility.

For example, a certain period of "Go World" in later generations. I made a "no win" feature. Anyone who has played Go knows that the "no win" in Go is actually very difficult to appear. Most of these kinds of chess are related to special chess shapes such as "Three Tribulation Cycle" and "Four Tribulation Cycle". As a result, there are not many "no-win" games recorded in history. As a professional Go media, it is also a very good idea to do a special feature of this kind of data induction.

However, after Li Xiaoqiang read this topic, he felt an indescribable sadness. To say that the topic of people is also very detailed. It basically covers most of the "no wins" in ancient and modern China and abroad. For example, in the first game of the opening chapter, it is the famous "Three Tribulations of Honnoji Temple". Whether it's Japan's "no wins" or South Korea's "no wins". Nothing has been omitted from this topic.

But it's a pity that it's such an informational thing. There is no omission in the modern Chinese game, but the part of ancient Chinese chess is missing. This cannot but be said to be a shortcoming.

Is there no "no win" in ancient Chinese chess? Of course not. For example, around 1822, the Chinese chess player Seng Guanru played a game of four tribulations. That chess game has been handed down. is what we are able to see now. But it's a pity that as a professional Go magazine, such a game was omitted.

Of course, because this game has no influence after all, Seng Guanru's fame is not big after all. But another game was also missed. That's telling.

The other game is from the ancient Chinese spectrum "Meishan Shuyin". The two sides of the game are Sheng Dayou and Zhou Donghou. If you want to say that these two are also at the level of "national players", right? Their fame is also big enough. In this game, they played a "three-tribulation cycle". What's even more interesting is that although there was a "cycle of three tribulations" in this game, the winner was finally separated. According to the records. When there is a "Three Tribulations Cycle", after discussion between the two sides of the game, it is decided to treat that place as "double active", and the two sides continue to walk. Until the winner is decided.

Let's be honest. Such a game is very interesting. It's not just the players who are famous. It is their treatment of the "Three Tribulations Cycle" that is also of great practical significance for the study of the evolution of Go rules. It's a pity that it's such a game. It was also ignored by this topic.

It's a very small problem. But such a small problem. What is it that makes people see? It is a disregard for the ancient chess and a disrespect for the profession of Go! Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that if Chinese Go has always been like this, even if future generations will win more world championships, what is the use? What chess fans in the future will remember will still be Daoce and Xiuce.

Li Xiaoqiang chose Go in his life, in fact, he has a big wish. It is hoped that the Go community can systematically sort out the ancient Chinese chess. It is best to give a systematic and objective evaluation to those national players in ancient times, as Japanese Go did. In a sense, such a job is even more difficult than defeating Li Shifo. Because if you want to defeat Li Shifo, it's just a matter of one person. And what about such a job? That's the whole Go world.

"The genealogy has been passed down through the generations, and it is inconsistent. Since the Holy Dynasty, there have been many celebrities and outstanding sages. Such as the novelty of Zhou Donghou, the density of Zhou Lazy, the super-anecdote of Wang Hannian, and the remoteness of Huanglongshi. It is the winner of Xu Xingyou, the winner of Qingmin, Lou Zien, the winner of Wulaiyi, the winner of Liang Weijin, the winner of Cheng Lanru, and the winner of Fan Xiping. ”

In the impression of modern people, most of the ancient Chinese chess players were just "fighting in chaos". In this passage of Shi Xiangxia's predecessors, the characteristics of the chess style of many Qing Dynasty chess players are said. It turned out to be in the eyes of Shi Qisheng. The chess styles of these national players are so different and colorful.

Can there be such a thing, do we modern ordinary chess fans know the way?

"Can anyone tell me: what kind of "novel" method is Zhou Donghou, and what kind of "super-yi" method is Wang Hannian? Should I explore these things alone, or should I find someone to explore them with me......"

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang thought silently. (To be continued......)
