"Reporter Zhang, did you say that when Zhang Zhenxi was in the game, he noticed the changes I just posed?"

"This ......"

Li Xiaoqiang looked at Zhang Zhidong with a smile and asked a seemingly "unsolvable" question. Indeed, this is the real "no picture and no truth". The changes studied by the Japanese nine dan include the "cracked" changes studied by Jiang Zhujiu. None of them appear in any ancient books. Therefore, what the player was thinking at the time will always remain a mystery.

Shi Xiangxia was able to find that the change was normal, because it was within his level. Did Zhang Zhenxi, the "four hands", notice this change at that time? This can only be guessed. From Li Xiaoqiang's heart, he also didn't want to believe that Senior Zhang could find this change, otherwise it would be too shocking. After all, the change that Jiang Zhujiu found out has a high-level occupation, and you said that an ancient "four hands" can easily find this change, then no one will believe it, and Li Xiaoqiang is not willing to believe it.

In Li Xiaoqiang's view, it is still credible to say that "Hu Tietou" can find that change. Because he is that kind of chess style, he is "good at that bite", as for Zhang Zhenxi's predecessors, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

Although he thinks so in his heart, at this moment, Li Xiaoqiang must be "ancient" to the end. Because in his opinion, the understanding of ancient Chinese chess in later generations is not "over-interpretation", but the understanding is far from enough. Due to the problem of rules, compared with modern Go, it is a completely different way of thinking, a different spirit. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's another kind of Go. And this kind of thing happens to be what is missing in modern professional Go.

Although I think that Zhang Zhenxi may not have that level, to say that he must not have seen that method, it is really not necessarily.

"Hehe, according to normal inference, he shouldn't have found such a profound method, right? Xiaoqiang, do you say? ”

"Yes, your reasoning is normal, but think about it. That covert method is hard to detect, but what about this robbery method? This shouldn't be difficult, when we treat orphans normally, it will be easy to think of creating a robbery to resist. What's more, he was already in a desperate situation at that time. It should be easier to think of such a means, right? What do you think? ”

"This ......"

"It seems abnormal to say that he was able to find that covert method, and in his actual combat, it is even more abnormal not to create a robbery. Neither of them is normal, but which one is closer to the truth? It's actually hard to study Go. If you think that he can't find out about the robbery, it's easy to look down on him, and if you believe that he can find that hidden means, it's easy to raise his level. Do you think so? ”

The discussion didn't last long. The controversy did not continue either. Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that there is a sentence in the "Soul of Chess" that says it well: Go has existed for thousands of years, some things have been changing, and some things have never changed. For example, humans can go to the moon, but the umbrella is still there.

So many people like Go, is it because of what it "changes" that people like, or is it that its "unchanged" things are fascinating?

After Li Xiaoqiang lost to Zhang Zhidong, the first professional top ten VS amateur top ten match also drew 5-5. It was a happy situation for all, as the last game of chess was over. Reporter Zhang Da can also be regarded as a great contribution to the amateur chess world. Not only did he not lose face, but he also did not let the amateur Go world lose. Therefore, he was in a good mood for several days.

After the end of the first "Evening Cup", the other amateur chess players returned to their respective provinces and cities, and only Zhang Zhidong remained in the capital. At this time. The exchange of amateur chess between China and Japan has also been put on the agenda.

"Isn't your game of chess one more robbery than me? I've seen you smug for a few days. I just can't figure it out, is this all you Zhang Da reporter doing? If you can win the next Sino-Japanese amateur top 10 match, then you can count your skills. ”

"Ha Luha, I can cut you little monster off the horse. Am I happy for a few days? Well, I'm now discovering that your genius doesn't seem to live up to your name. ”

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than you. Well. This time you were lucky enough to get an 8th place. If you make it to the top 5, you can also touch Imamura Civilization them. Then you will know how big the gap is between you and me three years ago. ”

If you really want to fight, of course Zhang Zhidong can't compare to Li Xiaoqiang, the "poisonous tongue" who has been trained on the Internet. Li Xiaoqiang's ability, of course, will be bombarded into slag by others in the future generations, and it is no problem to deal with "literary and artistic youths" like Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong thinks about it. Winning this game by yourself doesn't seem to be a big deal. Li Xiaoqiang killed the Quartet in the Japanese amateur chess scene 3 years ago. As for the opponent he is about to meet, although it is not certain to win or lose, it is generally believed that the Chinese amateur Go community is still slightly inferior for the time being.

"I just can't figure it out, what is your strength? You look pretty average, don't you...... That's right! Honestly, how many games can you remember? I really didn't notice it before, but if there's anything special about you, it seems like your memory is pretty good. Is that why you're so good? ”

"Genius, genius is something that an ordinary person like you can understand? I don't think you need to think about it, of course a good memory has an effect on playing Go. However, the role is also limited. I also know that there is a person in Lu Dao, he can't even remember the chess he just played, such a memory is very poor. But he's still a master......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? It's not possible, but you can become a Go master too. ”

Zhang Zhidong was very interested and asked again and again. Li Xiaoqiang found that he had slipped out, and of course he couldn't tell him which "master" he was.

Normally, a good memory is of course helpful for Go. Li Xiaoqiang's memory ability has always been good, and he can often remember the chess games he has studied seriously, especially those that are impressive. This is also what Li Xiaoqiang has always been proud of. But thinking of another person, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't be proud of his own merits.

This person is South Korea's Lee Seok-fo. Is this person a Go genius? According to his achievements in later life, it must be counted, if he is not a Go genius, then there are really not many people who dare to call themselves Go geniuses. Of course, his genius is so different that he can't even accurately review the game he just played. It is said that when Li Shifo first learned chess, he couldn't even remember the chess he had just played. This once puzzled his teacher Cao Yanzi, and he was probably very depressed. I can't figure out why I lost to such a person.

In later generations, the only one who dared to say that Li Shifo was not a Go genius was Master Wu Qingyuan. Of course, this may be due to their very different styles of chess and completely different characteristics. Compared with Li Shifo, Master Wu prefers Cao Yanzi's chess style. Therefore, he always thought that his junior brother Cao Yanzi was a Go genius, and Li Shifo was not.

Li Xiaoqiang actually couldn't figure out that a person like him could play Go so well for anything. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to experience it first-hand in this life. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang knows that his current strength is not enough. Fortunately, I have a good start now, and I have time to accumulate energy.

In the following days. Li Xiaoqiang is back to living the life of a normal professional chess player. In this summer, the Seoul Olympics attracted the attention of most of the Chinese people. Everyone is busy looking at the medal table every day, and except for a few people, Go seems to have been forgotten by most of the media. Li Xiaoqiang is preparing for the match with Masaki Takemiya under such circumstances.

During this period, Li Xiaoqiang also played several professional matches. In the China TV Go Rapid Chess Tournament, Li Xiaoqiang continued to make great progress and finally reached the top 4. It's a pity that he was defeated by Qian Yuping in the semifinals and ended in the top 4. After defeating Li Xiaoqiang, Qian Yuping continued his good tune in the final final. He defeated Ma Xiaofei to win the championship. and defeated Masao Kato Kudan in the subsequent Sino-Japanese Rapid Chess Championship Match. He has become another Chinese chess player who has broken through Japan's "super-first-class barrier".

Compared with the sluggish Ma Xiaofei. This year, Liu Dazhui and Qian Yuping made rapid progress. The three of them are in a fierce battle for China's second place. Interestingly, Ma Xiaofei has a very good way to "bully" Liu Dazhui. And Qian Yuping is often at a loss when he encounters Liu Dazhui. If Qian Yuping and Ma Xiaofei go down, Qian Yuping will win a little more.

At the same time as the Olympics were going on, the "celebrity battle" decisive battle between Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Dazhui was played in two more sets. Both sides win one game each. The aggregate score was tied 2-2. In this way, the decisive battle of the first Chinese Go "Celebrity Battle" was dragged into a tiebreaker. At this time, the Olympics have ended, "Can there be a 13-year-old celebrity?" "Once again, it has become the focus of the Go world. Of course. This suspense will be revealed for some time.

At the end of August, the first "Ying's Cup", which attracted much attention, finally opened. Immediately after that, the final of the first Fujitsu Cup will begin. There are these two big things happening in the Go world. Of course, many domestic Go tournaments have to give way. Liu Dazhui is eligible to participate in the "Ying's Cup". And Li Xiaoqiang can only be an onlooker.

In the first round of the first "Ying's Cup", most of the matches were normal. The biggest upset was that Masaki Takemiya lost to Jiang Zhujiu. This is the only super-top player who did not win in the first round. Of course, Ma Xiaofei's defeat to the aging Fujisawa Hideyuki should also be regarded as a small upset. You must know that Fujisawa Hideyuki just underwent cancer surgery not long ago, and this old man is indeed amazing.

After this game, Fujisawa Hideyuki gave Ma Xiaofei a good training. Let Li Xiaoqiang only snicker on the side. In the second round of the competition, Li Xiaoqiang volunteered to be a notator, and he happened to be scheduled for the match of Fujisawa Hideyuki.

In this match, the chief referee is Master Wu Qingyuan, and Hideyuki Fujisawa's opponent is Masao Kato. When Li Xiaoqiang walked into the game room, he felt like he was in the middle of modern Go history.

"Ha Luha, it's our honor to have Li Sang as our notaturator."

Before the start of the game, Mr. Fujisawa seemed to be in a good mood. He even joked with Li Xiaoqiang.

"Don't dare to be, I really don't dare to be, this should be my honor!"

Li Xiaoqiang thought silently in his heart.

After the game began, Li Xiaoqiang spread out the chess score record paper. For the first time, get a close-up look at the highest level of play of the era.

Li Xiaoqiang observed quietly and began an experience that he had never had before. (To be continued......)

PS: Yesterday after work, before preparing the codeword after dinner. The author clicked on the bookshelf as usual, ready to read the few books he was chasing before coding words. only to find that two books that were very punctual were missing. After a while, I realized that it was the river crab god who had descended. At the time, I thought it was going to be bad. Because I also have to classify books when I read, some of them are used to chasing more, and some are used to fattening. So I hurriedly rummaged through the bookshelves and looked around other websites to see what was going on. It's really speechless, the history of the Republic of China is almost wiped out. What's going on? Can't everyone YY at once? In addition to playing chess, I usually think that reading books is just a little fun. Will I only have to read the daily newspapers of the masses in the future? A moment of silence for some of my peers, but also for myself to have a lot less fun.
