Chapter 454: The Battle for the World's Strongest
The moment the chess game ended, Li Xiaoqiang was afraid.
Li Xiaoqiang doesn't like this kind of way of winning chess that needs to look at the opponent's face and is completely out of his control.
Thanks to the big mouth of the big reporter, Li Xiaoqiang's reputation as the "king of leaks" is also very loud, which makes many chess fans think that many of Li Xiaoqiang's victories rely on "leaks" to win. Li Xiaoqiang naturally resolutely disagrees with this view. He believes that most of his victories rely on his own strength and integrity, and it has nothing to do with "picking up" or something.
But today's plate, Li Xiaoqiang must honestly admit that today's plate is indeed a leak.
The difference here is that the so-called "leakage" in the past, when you use a certain means, even if the opponent discovers your intentions, even if the opponent responds completely correctly later, in fact, you are powerless. Such a method, of course, cannot be regarded as a leak. This is the essential difference from today's game.
"Anyway, I'm a bit of a technical picker. Different from ordinary "picking up spoons", my "temptation" mistake is finally high-level picking up spoons......" Li Xiaoqiang thought.
Li Xiaoqiang finished thinking nonsense, and at this time he looked at his opponent, and Liu Changhe was sitting in his place with a flushed face. Since he won the chess by himself, then out of politeness, Li Xiaoqiang should take the initiative to wait for the opponent to invite him to review, plus the language barrier between the two sides, so at this moment, Li Xiaoqiang didn't know what to do.
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang understands Liu Changhyuk's current mood very well. To be honest, Liu Changhe played this game of chess very well, and he let Li Xiaoqiang deeply understand his strength. Perfect strategy, very targeted play. Liu Changhe is not a "stronger when encountered" type chess player, and his performance today almost put Li Xiaoqiang in a situation from which he will never recover. It's a pity that just when the victory was about to come, he lost on a spoon. In the face of this situation, no one can feel better.
"Liu Langguan. I'm sorry, but I need to win this game too. Li Xiaoqiang said silently in his heart.
For the top Korean Go players, if you say that for Cao Yanzi, Li Shifo and Li Shishi in later generations, Li Xiaoqiang admires it at most. So for Liu Changhe, Li Xiaoqiang has a little more respect.
This is a person of affection, this is a selfless person, and this is a responsible person.
In real history, Yoo Chang-hyuk's trajectory from his peak is strange, and he was able to win the World Championship in his first year. In the second year, he didn't seem to be even a "stalwart chess player". The main reason for this is because his beloved wife died unexpectedly that year. In modern society, it is rare to see a person like Liu Changhe, who is so affectionate and sexual, and his experience is sympathetic and respectful. Liu Changhe's experience is very reminiscent of the pretending sentence in Huang Yi's novel:
"Only extreme affection, so it can be extremely sword."
Later, there was a reform initiated by the Go community from the Korean chess world, and many Korean chess battles and world chess battles changed from a "game fee system" to a "bonus system". Promote this change in favor of the entire professional chess world. It was Yoo Chang-hyuk, who was no longer at his peak at that time and could not profit from this system.
Later, when Korean Go fell into a certain predicament, it was Yoo Chang-hyuk who took the lead in standing up, and he served as the head coach of the Korean Go national team. Do your best for Korean Go.
If there are more Li Shifo or Li Shishi in Korean Go, maybe Korean Go can flourish for a while, but if there are a few more Liu Changhyuk, then Korean Go will definitely be passed down from generation to generation.
Inside the game. Liu Changhe, who suffered an unexpected blow, just came back to his senses, and he made an apologetic gesture to Li Xiaoqiang, meaning that this game of chess would not be repeated. Li Xiaoqiang nodded understandingly. He politely said goodbye to Yoo Chang-hyuk, leaving him alone to lick his wounds.
As soon as Li Xiaoqiang walked out of the game room, reporter Zhang Da pounced on him with his teeth and claws:
"Haha, Xiaoqiang, you leak king ......"
Without waiting for reporter Zhang Da to finish speaking, Li Xiaoqiang hurriedly stopped, and he put on a look of contempt:
"Go, I can warn you not to talk nonsense, the world of masters, how can a person like you understand......"
At this time, Coach Luo also came over. It is obvious that Coach Luo has just experienced a big ups and downs, and his excitement has not yet calmed down. So he didn't say anything, just patted Li Xiaoqiang's shoulder hard.
The three of them chatted a few words, and Zhang Da reporter began to smile with Li Xiaoqiang again: "Hehe, Xiaoqiang, what are you doing there, if you want to find your little lover, come with me, I know where she is." ”
"Again, I warn you not to talk nonsense, I want to ask about another game......"
"I know, I know you're going to say that. Let's go to the viewing room over there, and your little lover happens to be over there. I don't know what that game of chess turned out to be, but who will your opponent be in the final? ”
Since this game of chess is a "sudden death", it is only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and presumably the game between Cao Yanzi and Mr. Lin Haifeng is not over yet. Li Xiaoqiang and the others came to the viewing room on the other side, and sure enough, they saw Yukari Umezawa there.
As a dignified "female ryu honinbo", Umezawa did not work as a notator or second reader this time, but was responsible for cooperating with the commentary. For such major competitions, Japan's live commentary and TV commentary are often separated, and in fact, compared to Li Xiaoqiang's game, the Japanese side naturally attaches more importance to tournaments with Japanese players. The focus of the TV commentary is also the game of chess between Lin Haifeng VS Cao Yanzi.
Yukari Umezawa was in charge of the TV explanation of the game of chess, and she shuttled between the research room and the studio, transmitting the opinions of the research room to the studio. When Yukari Umezawa saw Li Xiaoqiang, she just smiled sweetly at Li Xiaoqiang, and then went to get busy again.
After Li Xiaoqiang came to the laboratory, he saw Mr. Wang Licheng and Mr. Wang Mingwan, these Taiwanese chess players in Japan must have come to Osaka to cheer for Mr. Lin Haifeng. Seeing Li Xiaoqiang coming in, everyone greeted each other for a while, and at the same time congratulated Li Xiaoqiang.
"Zhang Xu, come and say hello to Teacher Li, this is Teacher Li Xiaoqiang, this time Mr. Lin specially asked you to come over, just to let Teacher Li guide you a game."
"Teacher Li?" Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart that he was qualified to be called Teacher Li.
Before Zhang Xu came over, he happened to be with Kobayashi Quanmei, looking at their appearance, Zhang Xu seemed to be receiving all kinds of teasing by Kobayashi Quanmei. Li Xiaoqiang pouted secretly: These female chess players in the Japanese chess world seem to have quite a lot of "Zhengtai control".
Zhang Xu walked up to Li Xiaoqiang shyly and bowed solemnly:
Li ...... Mr. Li, please give me more guidance. ”
Since it was Mr. Lin's order, Li Xiaoqiang had no reason not to agree:
"Let's go in the evening, let's have a good game in the evening, now let's take a look at Mr. Lin's game of chess......"
Everyone's attention returned to this game, and unconsciously, Li Xiaoqiang became the center of the research room.
"What does Xiaoqiang think of the current situation?"
"I feel that Mr. Lin's situation is worse, and I don't know if my judgment is right."
What Li Xiaoqiang said was just kind words. It's about 5 o'clock now, and the game of Lin Haifeng VS Cao Yanzi is actually close to the end. In Li Xiaoqiang's view, Mr. Lin's chess is already very dangerous, and he is just struggling to support it now. Lin Haifeng's record against Cao Yanzi has not been very good. The most important match between them should be the semi-finals of the first "Ying's Cup". Cao Yanzi won it with a score of 2-0. Since then, although the two have not fought many times, every time Mr. Lin meets Cao Yanzi, he doesn't seem to be able to come up with any good solutions. Therefore, seeing the current situation, Li Xiaoqiang felt that Mr. Lin was going to lose.
When a professional chess player studies a chess game, he likes to find ways to deal with the underdog. Li Xiaoqiang: They're doing this right now. In this process, Li Xiaoqiang kept putting forward his own opinions, and he devised various plans to turn the tables, as well as several unbelievable ways to disrupt the situation. It attracted everyone's amazement, as well as the admiring eyes of Zhang Xu and others.
Interestingly, when Li Xiaoqiang came to the research room, the number of times Yukari Umezawa came over significantly increased. Li Xiaoqiang's opinion will naturally be disseminated through television, so that many Japanese chess fans will know.
"What to do in the face of this situation? It just so happened that Li Xiaoqiang from China came to the research room, and he just made a change, let's enjoy the idea of the chessboard wizard...... If this happens, Mr. Lin may still have a chance to ......"
"The research room has different opinions on this move just now. China's Li Xiaoqiang thinks that Mr. Lin should do what he should do...... Indeed, if this is carried out, although it cannot be said that the situation can improve, it can create enough problems for the opponent......"
But the research in the research room is the research of the research room after all, and it does not help the competition except for making Li Xiaoqiang a little limelight.
Mr. Lin's resistance lasted until nearly 6 o'clock, but he was ultimately unable to resist Cao Yanzi's sharp attack and was defeated by a margin of four and a half eyes. At the end of the game, the atmosphere in the research room was dull.
"Alas, Cao Yanzi is still strong, it is not too much to say that he is currently the strongest in the world."
In the research room, I don't know who suddenly made such an emotion. There are also many people's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Li Xiaoqiang.
Li Xiaoqiang understands the meaning of this sentence, and the current Cao Yanzi is indeed qualified to be called the strongest in the world. Inadvertently, in all the world competitions that began last year, Cao Yanzi actually reached the finals. "Yingshi Cup", "Fujitsu Cup", "Toyo Securities Cup" and then this year's "Fujitsu Cup", he actually entered the finals for 4 consecutive times!
This is certainly quite a remarkable record, and his consistency and level of performance are so high that in some ways it's even harder than winning a World Title.
So far, Li Xiaoqiang has 2 crowns and 0 runners-up, and Cao Yanzi has 2 crowns and 2 runners-up.
When Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in the final was announced, Zhang Da's reporter had a rare serious expression, and he walked over and patted Li Xiaoqiang's shoulder:
"Xiaoqiang, there's nothing to say, get ready to compete for the strongest in the world!" (To be continued......)
