In the semifinals of the "Fujitsu Cup", the match between Chang Rensheng VS Li Shifo is coming to an end, and everyone is waiting for the final result of this game of chess.

At present, Chang Rensheng has the advantage, especially when Li Xiaoqiang came to the viewing room, and he pointed out that Chang Rensheng has successfully broken through 2 of the 3 key points of victory and defeat, so what about the 3rd key point of victory and defeat? Will he be able to make it?

At around 5:10 p.m., the supporters of Chang Rensheng in the research room cheered, while those who hoped for Li Shifo's victory sighed.

The problem lies with Li Shifo. Li Xiaoqiang just pointed out in the research room that there is a good move to "expand the chessboard", which may not be enough to reverse, but it can create enough chaos on the chessboard. But it's a pity that Li Shifo didn't play this move at all in actual combat.

In Go, there are a lot of opportunities that are fleeting. After a casual exchange, some of the moves are likely to be untenable. Today's game is like this, at about 5:10, because Li Shifo adopted another simple stereotyped method, the method found by Li Xiaoqiang is no longer valid, which is equivalent to Chang Rensheng has passed the final crisis.

Seeing this result, Mr. Lin Haifeng smiled and said:

"Victory! This game is a complete victory. Now it seems that Chang Rensheng has also become a great weapon. Now there is no doubt that the final between the two Chinese players is a foregone conclusion. Xiaoqiang, congratulations. ”

Reporter Zhang Da also laughed heartily: "Unless this chess is Xiao Chang crazy, otherwise he can't lose, Xiao Qiang, do you say it...... It's not easy, it's not easy for Xiao Chang to get to where he is today. ”

After Li Xiaoqiang saw the process of the actual battle, he was also happy for Chang Rensheng. But after listening to Zhang Da's reporter's words, Li Xiaoqiang began to muttered in his heart again - there is no way, the "Fujitsu Cup" battle between Chang Rensheng and Li Shifo in 98 years in real history left Li Xiaoqiang too deep an impression.

In that game, Chang Rensheng poured a simple "spoon".

Today, it is also the same situation of Chang Ren Shengdayou, will history repeat itself? Li Xiaoqiang stared at the chessboard in front of him again and analyzed it carefully.

"Xiaoqiang, aren't you worried now? What are you looking for on the chessboard? ”

"Well, it's nothing, I'll just look on the chessboard to see where there is a "double call to eat" ......"

Li Xiaoqiang's answer made Zhang Da reporter Zhang Da and the second monk puzzled:

"Double call to eat? What are you looking for "Double Called Food", are you kidding me? Inexplicable, Xiaoqiang, you are becoming more and more inexplicable now, to be honest, say something that you think is humorous......"

Li Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that what I said really has to do with humor. If the story of "double calling for food" really happens, it is really humorous, but it is just a kind of black humor.

Does black humor really happen? In fact, Li Xiaoqiang's worries seem a bit unnecessary. At half past five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Shifo didn't even insist on finishing the last little official, when he saw that Chang Rensheng's black chess was currently about 8 meshes on the board, that is, he might eventually lose 1 and a half meshes, Li Shifo gave up the last resistance, and he chose to admit defeat in the middle game.

With Li Shifo's admission of defeat, Chang Rensheng broke into the World Series finals for the first time. Chinese chess players won the championship and runner-up of this year's "Fujitsu Cup"!

After the match between Chang Rensheng and Li Shifo, Li Xiaoqiang and everyone poured into the game room to watch their review.

When he first arrived at the door of the game room, Li Xiaoqiang saw that Chang Rensheng has now become the focus of reporters, and almost all reporters are now asking questions and taking pictures around Chang Rensheng. Chang Rensheng, who was still sitting in his seat, was flushed, and he couldn't hide his excitement, while Li Shifo, who was sitting opposite him, looked lonely.

Although there is a suspicion of being robbed of the limelight, the current Li Xiaoqiang is sincerely happy for Chang Rensheng. It's interesting to say, in this year's "Fujitsu Cup", my road to promotion was unusually smooth, and I basically didn't meet any strong opponents. And Chang Rensheng is not so much, he has come all the way to overcome strong enemies. Although he also entered the finals, so far, Chang Rensheng's victory is obviously more golden, and he fully deserves the glory now.

As for why Chang Rensheng didn't "come out of the spoon" like in real history, Li Xiaoqiang has completely figured it out now, after all, today is only the semi-finals, and in real history, it is the final. Although it is only a word difference, the nature of these two competitions is completely different. The pressure on a chess player is even different.

In 98 years in real history, Chang Rensheng already had the strength to compete with Ma Xiaofei, and he began to compete with Ma Xiaofei for the first place in the domestic chess world. But in the international chess world, Chang Rensheng is actually still a newcomer. Therefore, when he faced Li Shifo, when he was needed to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Chinese Go, his collapse should be said to be understandable.

But the situation in this life is completely different, because of his own existence, due to his own influence, the current Chang Rensheng must be different from the previous life, and more importantly, he does not have to bear a lot of pressure to play chess now, and the current resistance of Chinese Go is more on his shoulders. When Chang Rensheng does not have this pressure, he is naturally less prone to technical deformation in the game.

After figuring out Chang Rensheng's situation, Li Xiaoqiang looked at Li Shifo again. Chang Rensheng's situation is understandable, but what about Li Shifo's situation?

In the 98 years of real history, Li Shifo can be said to have stepped into the pinnacle of his career. Is it that the current Li Shifo is weaker than in his previous life? Li Xiaoqiang thinks that of course it is impossible, due to his own existence in this life, if purely from a technical point of view, the current Li Shifo will only be stronger than in the previous life, not weaker, then what is the reason for Li Shifo's unsatisfactory performance?

Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is the wonder of the world of victory and defeat.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that for a chess player, losing and winning are indispensable, and defeat and victory are equally important. Chess players can see their gaps in defeat and sharpen their will in failure. But victory, especially constant victory, can gain confidence from it, and it can develop a temperament.

And compared with him in his previous life, the current Li Shifo lacks such a little bit of temperament!

Seeing that the reporters were almost done, Li Xiaoqiang walked forward to review with the two players. He first congratulated Chang Rensheng, and then patted Li Shifo on the shoulder to show comfort......

There is a saying in the Go world that "it hurts vitality". Nie Whirlwind was defeated by Cao Yanzi in the "Ying's Cup" that year, which was considered to have hurt his vitality. In 95, he was defeated by Ma Xiaofei and Kobayashi Koji in a row, which can be regarded as a loss of vitality. And what about Li Shifo? The defeat to himself in the "Shinro Cup" tiebreaker the year before last was considered a bit of a wound, which led to him only thinking about how to deal with himself for the whole year last year, so he did not win any World Championships.

Of course, the more important thing is the "Toyo Securities Cup" that has just ended. If the "Shinro Cup" is just a "small injury", then the big reversal that occurred in the "Toyo Securities Cup" is a real "big injury".

Some chess players can't get out of the shadow for the rest of their lives after being "injured", such as Nie Whirlwind and Ma Xiaofei in real history. So can Li Shifo come out of the shadows?

Li Xiaoqiang believes that he will be able to do it, if even Li Shifo can't do it, Li Xiaoqiang really can't think of anyone else in the world chess world who can do it.

Therefore, even if the current Li Shifo looks a little down, Li Xiaoqiang still regards him as a fierce rival in life.

At least in recent years, Li Xiaoqiang will still regard Li Shifo as his number one enemy.

This can actually be seen in the review. When Li Xiaoqiang participated in the review, he first put out the means he found in the research room, Chang Rensheng looked in a cold sweat, he said that he didn't think of that method at all when he was playing, if the actual battle is really like this, then the outcome of today's game of chess is unpredictable.

And Li Shifo has seen this method, in addition to expressing his admiration for Li Xiaoqiang, he did not entangle in this place, but studied the opening of this game of chess with everyone, because he thought that the reason why he lost this game of chess was that the backward layout was the main reason.

Li Shifo's attitude in turn made Li Xiaoqiang admire. Because Li Xiaoqiang knows that Li Shifo's attitude is to the heart and grasp the key to the problem.

Li Shifo, who has this attitude, Li Xiaoqiang does not think that he will be in a slump for a long time.

Since Li Shifo wants to study the prologue, everyone will accompany him to study the prologue. It's a pity that it's difficult to have a standard answer to this kind of thing. Everyone knows that Li Shifo's layout in this game of chess is not played well, but what exactly went wrong? Li Xiaoqiang, Li Shifo, and Chang Rensheng have completely unanimous opinions.

Mr. Lin Haifeng happened to be present today, so Li Xiaoqiang warmly invited Mr. Lin to participate in the review.

There is nothing to say about the specific technical problems, but after seeing this scene, the reporter Yamada who was present was full of emotion, he took a photo at the time, and published it in a magazine:

"Is this why Japan is lagging behind Go?"

In the photo, Li Xiaoqiang, Li Shifo, and Chang Rensheng, three top Chinese and Korean chess players, are surrounding Mr. Lin Haifeng and listening to Mr. Lin's teachings. In the photo, Li Xiaoqiang's figure is a little blurry, only Li Shifo's image is the most prominent, and the desire for knowledge revealed in his eyes reveals his devotion to Go, which anyone can see.

Everyone studied the chess game for a long time, and it was not until someone forcibly interrupted everyone that they reluctantly dispersed.

The Fujitsu Cup is a competition held by the Japanese, and many times the Japanese do things in a one-dimensional way. For example, in this tournament, although there are no Japanese players in the finals, the organizers will not be sloppy in some of the necessary procedures after the competition, such as holding a closing ceremony and letting the two finalists express their outlook for the finals.

What surprised Li Xiaoqiang a bit was that the host turned out to be Yukari Umezawa again. I didn't see her yesterday, I didn't see her during the day today, and I don't know when she came to Osaka from Tokyo.

"Chang Jiudan is entering the World Series finals for the first time, so what do you want to say to your opponent at this time?"

Because the final was already a civil war between Chinese chess players, Yukari Umezawa also knew the relationship between Li Xiaoqiang and Chang Rensheng, so she asked questions in such a way.

"I'm very happy to be in the World Series finals for the first time. As for my opponent, I just want to say to my opponent now......" Chang Rensheng looked at Li Xiaoqiang with a smile:

"Boss, I'm finally sitting across from you now!"

Looking at the high-spirited Chang Rensheng, Li Xiaoqiang felt a lot of emotion in his heart. When Umezawa threw the same question to Li Xiaoqiang:

“…… When I see my opponents, I feel like I'm getting a little old......"

Yes, this will be Li Xiaoqiang's 8th time participating in the World Series finals, and in the first 7 finals, even Li Shifo is slightly older than Li Xiaoqiang.

Only this time, this is the first time that Li Xiaoqiang has welcomed a chess player younger than himself in the final!

Although this is a very normal natural law, although in his future career, there will be more and more such times, but Li Xiaoqiang still sighed.

If the previous self still belongs to the stage of "fighting the country",

Then from now on, his task has become "guarding the country". (To be continued.) )
