"The mysterious Chinese boy!"

Although it has been decided that this issue of "Chess" magazine will focus on ring matches or chess holy wars. But when the editor-in-chief watched the interview with the two players, he couldn't help but squeeze a piece out of the tense layout. And personally wrote an article for publication in the magazine. The above is the title of the article. In the article, I first introduced Li Xiaoqiang's simple experience. The article is tightly tied to a "riddle" word.

The first mystery is how did Li Xiaoqiang's Go level come about? Through Li Xiaoqiang's false information bit by bit, there is a plan and a step-by-step launch. Sketch out a man who has only studied ancient Chinese chess and has only a small number of games (probably only with a master he can't find). Because before he was 10 years old, even his parents had never seen him play chess.

He was also surprised by Master Li Xiaoqiang's teaching level. Considering the level of the "Tianlong Diagram", it can be determined that Li Xiaoqiang's master must have a professional level. He also expressed a strong interest in his teaching methods, although Li Xiaoqiang's chess strength remains to be tested. However, at least the initial level of the career is still there. Can you reach a professional level at the age of 10 just by learning ancient Chinese chess? This is the first mystery.

The second mystery is how high is Li Xiaoqiang's level? The original text of the two interviews is distributed in the article. The article reads:

"In recent years, it has been rare to see two famous chess players in such a stark confrontation. In such a-for-tat, we noticed in the interview that neither player used polite tones such as "maybe", "maybe" and "probably" as in ordinary interviews. Almost always in an affirmative tone. What does this mean? It shows that both of them are convinced of their judgments. It's really surprising to understand why the judgment of the same person can produce such a huge contrast. This also made us ordinary people have a strong interest in that Chinese teenager."

The most luscious back in the article also wrote: "The first mystery, we may not be able to solve it quickly at present, but the second mystery should be solved after the Japan-China exchange match." Let's focus on it. ”

Interestingly, the article also features photos of the two players being interviewed. In the photo, the hero of Dazhu is full of red light and high spirits. A finger is imaginary, and a pair of points to the country. Fujisawa Hideyuki has a calm expression, deep eyes, and an expression that can see through everything.

For a time, the "mysterious Chinese boy" became the hottest topic in the Japanese chess world. Ordinary Japanese chess fans also showed great interest. Li Xiaoqiang is also gradually becoming well-known to Japanese chess fans. The Sino-Japanese Go match, which was not very valued before, has also attracted attention because of Li Xiaoqiang's participation. There is a tendency for the limelight to overshadow the ring.

The situation in China is a bit more nuanced. Of course, the ring match is still attracting national attention, although the media is also very interested in Li Xiaoqiang. However, the attention is still ranked at the back of the ring. The situation in the ring match was obviously unfavorable to the Chinese team, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while. The media is also a little contradictory, Li Xiaoqiang should have been happy and should have increased the amount of coverage, but the situation in the ring was not happy. The media's hesitation made Li Xiaoqiang's preparations less disturbed.

However, there are still more or less interferences. Others don't care, Ganyuan Media is happy, this is their own child. Li Xiaoqiang was preparing for the war at home, and the media in Hongcheng and Qiancheng also came a few times. Fortunately, Li Xiaoqiang was a human being in his two lifetimes, and the news media at this time was not as developed as in later generations. Li Xiaoqiang can also deal with the past.

Not to mention Cuiwei County, it is a big deal for a child to go abroad. The school and family were very nervous, and for a time Li Xiaoqiang became a key protection object. Li Xiaoqiang didn't react to anything, and still prepared for the war according to his own plan. even went to school normally as usual, which surprised Lu Fanyun. He has seen how the national team prepares, and he feels that Li Xiaoqiang is completely different from them. He couldn't say what to do, but he vaguely felt that being like Li Xiaoqiang was more reassuring.

The day of the game is gradually approaching, and Li Xiaoqiang has also entered the state of imminent battle. At present, he does not know who his opponent will be. Therefore, the situation of the opponent is also impossible to study. In fact, Li Xiaoqiang didn't want to study any opponents. I still have a long way to go, and my career has just begun. Everything is about me, no matter how you win or lose, you have to show your true strength. This is Li Xiaoqiang's current train of thought. It's good to have a basic judgment of your own level.

It's time to go. Li Xiaoqiang's itinerary was formulated at his own strong insistence. In his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang ran outside for a long time, and business trips were commonplace. If it weren't for the fact that he is too young now, Li Xiaoqiang would be ready to go on the road alone. was first accompanied by Lu Fanyun to Hongcheng, and then accompanied by Jiang Chenghua to Shencheng. Then fly to Tokyo with Zhang Zhidong to meet the players of the national team, and arrive two days before the game. Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is the least distracting.

On the plane, reporter Zhang Da was surprised by Li Xiaoqiang's sophistication. It was even more surprising to see that Li Xiaoqiang actually came up with a few dead and alive questions. Li Xiaoqiang expressed contempt for the shallowness of reporter Zhang Da.

"Isn't there nothing I can do? What do you want me to see these years? Is there an "apple" in these years? If so, am I going to do the question of life and death? Newspaper? It's all old news to me. Jin yong 's? I've seen it 8 times. Magazine? Except that Wei Guangzheng is a petty bourgeoisie. Is it suitable for me to have a child? By the way, the "story meeting" can be watched, but I can't afford to lose that person is not ......"

Li Xiaoqiang cried silently, sure enough, a child is looking forward to growing up. Not only real children, but also my fake child.

I came to Tokyo and met with the members of the national team. Everyone was very happy to see Li Xiaoqiang, but the atmosphere was still obviously depressed. Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart, the feeling of live broadcast and watching the video is really different. I can't tell them the results yet, I'm really anxious.

In addition to Nie Whirlwind and Ma Xiaofei Squirrel participating in the ring match, everyone else will participate in the confrontation match. The first game was held on the same day, and the ring match was played by Ma Xiaofei against Kobayashi Jue. Li Xiaoqiang knew that Ma Xiaofei won this game, and then lost to Satoshi Kataoka in the back. In the end, Nie Whirlwind achieved a ring myth with 1 to 5. In the end, it brought out a Go fever.

Because he knew the results, he seemed very calm. For a while, Li Xiaoqiang's calmness was in stark contrast to the gains and losses of other team members. The chief observer reporter of "Chess Dao" magazine, who has been carefully observing Li Xiaoqiang, was greatly surprised.

"Maybe that's what Mr. Hideyuki said about the temperament of a winner."

Tsumian secretly guessed that he wanted to go over for an interview right away, but now he changed his mind. In the face of such a person, there is nothing tangible to be gained from the pre-match interview. The chief spectator reporter is very experienced.

Soon, Li Xiaoqiang's first opponent came out.

Hironori Hirata.

This year's Japanese amateur double champion, Hironori Hirata, who ranked second among the four amateur kings.

It wasn't Satoshi Hiraoka as he expected, Li Xiaoqiang was a little surprised.

What does the Japanese team think?
