"Is it Chubby?"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

"In the evening, our "Tianwang Gang" and the South Korean "Axe Gang" have a 20-on-20 large-scale confrontation, the first one is reserved for you, and you come over to help us press the formation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"This... You amateur chess players are playing against each other, so it's not appropriate for me to mix in. ”

"Don't talk nonsense with me, where is there still a pure amateur confrontation with the Koreans, according to reliable sources, this time they will have at least 5 or more professional chess players. Anyway, you're idle now, so you might as well come and help us play. Okay, that's it.,I'm going to contact a few of them in a while.,Remember 8 o'clock in the evening.,Dedicated server for online competitions.,Remember to log in with the account of the evil gentleman.,Don't drop the chain for me when the time comes.。 ”

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Dabao hung up the phone with a "snap", leaving Li Xiaoqiang alone with a wry smile on his face.

Zhao Dabao is not worried that Li Xiaoqiang will not agree, because as he said: "Idle is idle anyway."

After becoming the first "World Chess Saint", because of a slight relaxation, he did not achieve good results throughout last year. This made Li Xiaoqiang criticized by many chess fans. Just when Li Xiaoqiang was about to regain his spirits. A sudden event has affected the lives of all Chinese.

This major event is naturally the "SARS" that occurred in 2003.

The impact of SARS on the whole society is naturally needless to say, and when it comes to the Go world, almost all the competition schedules have been disrupted.

“。。。 Due to the impact of SARS, the organizers of the "Fujitsu Cup" announced that the "Fujitsu Cup" top 8 match originally scheduled to be held in Beijing, China has been cancelled, and the competition will be postponed, and the time and place are to be determined... ”

“。。。 Due to the impact of SARS, the organizers of the "Samsung Cup" announced... ”

"Due to the impact of SARS, FIDE has just announced that the 2nd "World Chess Saint" will be the player... ”

At present, it is the time when the SARS epidemic is at its worst, so as Zhao Dabao said, Li Xiaoqiang, who is currently staying in the capital, is really doing nothing.

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the opportunity to play head-to-face has decreased, so many people choose to play chess online. It is also because of "SARS", when more and more professional chess players are accustomed to online games, online Go ushered in the most vigorous year.

After dinner, Li Xiaoqiang used the account of "Evil Gentleman" to log in to Yicheng.com. Lin Mengyu made Li Xiaoqiang a cup of tea:

"What, the evil gentleman is back in the world?"

Li Xiaoqiang smiled: "Xiao Hei's face, that's what you have to give anyway." ”

When Li Xiaoqiang landed, there was still some time before the competition. In the chat box, I saw the "jade-faced scholar" Zhao Dabao shouting there.

It's not easy to organize such a big competition on the Internet. It's also a shame that it's like Zhao Dabao, this guy likes to call friends both in life and on the Internet, and has a wide range of friends. At the same time, he usually has a lot of free time, a long time online, and his own strength is good, so he has a lot of appeal on the Internet.

In addition, Zhao Dabao has another advantage, when it comes to contacts in the professional Go world, there are really few people among ordinary chess fans who can compare with him. Such conveniences make him the best choice to organize this kind of cyber confrontation.

Earlier, Zhao Dabao had also organized several similar matches. However, in the past, most of the chess players were purely amateur chess players, and few professional chess players participated. What made Zhao Dabao feel depressed was that most of the past few such confrontations ended in the defeat of the Chinese team.

This is not because Zhao Dabao has a small face and did not invite masters, in fact, in the past confrontation matches, several "king" figures in the Chinese amateur chess world have participated. The main reason for this is that the number of entry places in the Korean Go community is too small every year, and the lowest time is only 2 entry places a year. As a result, a considerable number of "students" of the Korean Chess Academy are strong.

These people are amateur chess players, but their level is professional, if these people come out to play against China's pure amateur chess players, then their strength will still have a slight advantage.

It was because he lost several times in the purely amateur confrontation, so Zhao Dabao decided to change the way he played and organized a "mixed" team of professional and amateur to fight.

"Wicked gentleman! The evil gentleman has appeared! This is... Is it really Li Xiaoqiang? . . ”

After Li Xiaoqiang went online, it really caused a lot of commotion among netizens. There have long been rumors in the rivers and lakes that the "evil gentleman" is one of Li Xiaoqiang's vests. Later, I heard that this account was shared by Li Xiaoqiang and several of his disciples. It's just that in the last year or so, this account has basically disappeared from the Internet. Several of Li Xiaoqiang's disciples have used new accounts to play chess, and these vests are famous on the Internet.

"May I ask if you are Li Xiaoqiang's deity?" From time to time, netizens sent messages to Li Xiaoqiang to ask, but Li Xiaoqiang was silent, neither saying that he was, nor that he was not. Despite this, Li Xiaoqiang's identity was quickly revealed. The reason is that before the official game, Li Xiaoqiang clicked on the most popular game to watch the game. Powered by China's "Drum Urn Golden Hammer" against a Korean 9d.

"Is it the master?"

In blitz 30 seconds of one move, the "drum urn golden hammer" suddenly typed this sentence in the chat box.

In this way, the chess fans of the entire website know that it is really Li Xiaoqiang's deity that appears today, because all chess fans who are familiar with the Internet know that the "Drum Urn Golden Hammer" is Li Xiaoqiang's second disciple Zhou Xiaoyang.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Shenzhu came up to greet Li Xiaoqiang, and Li Xiaoqiang's eldest disciple "Chen Xiaoqiang" came up to greet Li Xiaoqiang.

The news that "Li Xiaoqiang will play tonight" spread as quickly as possible, and the most direct consequence of this was that the number of people online on the entire website skyrocketed. This year, unlike later generations, a well-known chess player appeared, which was still a bit of a sensation on the Internet.

The appearance of Li Xiaoqiang not only excited Chinese chess fans, but also directly affected the South Korean side's arrangement.

Before Li Xiaoqiang appeared, Mu Jin-suk, the organizer of the Korean side, was talking and laughing. Mu Zhenshuo is a "China expert", and he is very familiar with the accounts of some Chinese professional chess players:

"Elf"? This is Li Xiaoqiang's eldest disciple, "Drum Urn Golden Hammer"? This is Li Xiaoqiang's second apprentice, and by the way, I also saw Luo Shenzhu and several local chess players in China. Overall, the overall level of the Chinese team this time is not high, and the highest level is Luo Shenzhu, but this is also normal, and the top chess players of the Chinese national team don't seem to like the Internet very much... ”

Mu Jin-seok smiled and said to South Korea's "Gang of Three" Choi Poison and Park Yongxun:

"We professional chess players don't need to win more, as long as we can keep our capital, with my previous experience, this kind of competition should be no problem, so our task this time is very easy...

“。。。 Hey? This account seems a little familiar.,This is.。。。 This is ... By the way, I remembered, this account seems to be Li Xiaoqiang! ”

Cui Poison was already giggling, but after hearing the name Li Xiaoqiang, everyone looked at each other, and their spirits were lifted.

Mu Jinshuo continued to laugh and said: "If Li Xiaoqiang plays, then today's game will be fun." What do you think? Just now, you are all pretending to be modest, and you are not willing to sit on the first station, if Li Xiaoqiang appears, you should rob these. ”

Cui Poison smiled awkwardly, but everyone could see that they were all eager to try.

"I begged you to go up just now, but now you want to go up, I won't let you go...

Mu Jinshuo picked up the phone as he said this:

"Stone, are you free now? If you have time, log on to Issei and help me play a game. ”

"You know, I'm not very interested in online chess...

"Of course I know you're not interested in online chess, do you know who your opponent is today?"

"Who?"

"It's Li Xiaoqiang."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while:

"Okay, I'll be on right away..."

After the 20-on-20 large-scale confrontation took off, it was the turn of Chinese chess fans to talk about it.

"Hey, who is this one who sits on the first station in South Korea?"

"yes, 0 wins and 0 losses, this is obviously a newly registered account, who will this guy be... (To be continued.) )
