The super upset in the first round of the first "Samsung Cup" was Ma Xiaofei's loss to Wu Songsheng Jiuduan.

After 4:30 p.m., some of the first rounds of matches ended one after another, including the chess games of many Chinese chess players, such as Li Xiaoqiang, Liu Dazhui, Chang Rensheng, Yu Bin and others. These matches have been won and lost, with Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Dazhui comfortably defeating their opponents to reach the second round, while Chang Rensheng and Yu Bin have already lost. But no matter whether everyone wins or loses, when everyone appears in the viewing room, they can communicate with each other and discuss the gains and losses of the chess game.

Only when Ma Xiaofei, who was blue-faced, appeared in the viewing room, no one dared to talk to him, including Liu Dazhui, who was usually the "most unpleasant" with Ma Xiaofei, and it was rare that he did not sprinkle salt on Ma Xiaofei's wound at this time. When Mr. Wu Songsheng also appeared in the viewing room, it is said that Mr. Wu Songsheng is also an old-timer in the Chinese chess world, and everyone should at least congratulate him on his victory, but in front of Ma Xiaofei, this congratulations cannot be said anyway. For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It wasn't until Ma Xiaofei disappeared from everyone's sight without saying a word that everyone resumed their normal conversation.

"This horse demon, he doesn't seem to have recovered from last year's blow."

For what Liu Dazhui said, everyone nodded yes.

Indeed, 95-year-old Ma Xiaofei was majestic in the world chess arena, and he was so ambitious and high-spirited at that time. But after entering 96, the situation changed abruptly, and he lost to Li Shifo twice in a row in the finals of the World Series, which must have been a big blow to Ma Xiaofei, right?

In the professional chess world, a player is overwhelmed for a long time due to the loss of a major game. There are just too many such examples. Most seriously, some chess players can't even slow down in their lifetime.

Hiroshi Yamashiro, a famous Japanese tragic chess player, was in the 7th game of a "chess holy war". Hit a rather amateurish spoon in a must-win situation, and was reversed by Kobayashi Koji's half eye. This half-eye made Hiroshi Yamashiro miss the 7 titles for life.

After reaching the finals of the World Series, one of them lost to South Korea's "backbone chess player" Park Zhengshen, and the other to Taipei's "red-faced chess king" Ah Xun. Defeats in both games. This is also the end of the life's work of these two players.

There are so many extreme examples like this, and there are even more ordinary examples. Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about Li Xiaoqiang himself. Although it really has to be analyzed, there are many reasons for Li Xiaoqiang's sluggish state, and they are also more complicated. But at least in the eyes of the outside world, his loss to Ma Xiaofei in the final of the "Toyo Securities Cup" the year before last was the main reason for Li Xiaoqiang's long-term slump.

In the eyes of many people in the outside world, Li Xiaoqiang is still like this. Not to mention Ma Xiaofei. Don't look at Li Xiaoqiang's youth, but who is Li Xiaoqiang? He is recognized as good at adjusting his state and is recognized as having the "style of a general". On the other hand, Ma Xiaofei is recognized by everyone as sensitive and arrogant.

A proud and sensitive player can understandably take longer to recover when he suffers a major setback.

"Winning or losing a game of chess doesn't matter. I hope Ma Xiaodon't sink here. ”

Looking at Ma Xiaofei's slightly lonely back, Team Leader Hua said a little worriedly. Team Leader Hua was saying this. Li Xiaoqiang was also looking at Ma Xiaofei.

Did Ma Xiaofei sink here? Li Xiaoqiang doesn't think so. In real history, although on the surface, Ma Xiaofei's highest achievement, that is, 2 world championships in 95, the real situation is not like this.

In real history, Ma Xiaofei suffered a blow in 96. He really hadn't slowed down for a long time. This is reflected in the fact that he did not have any decent results in the whole of '97. However, in 98, Ma Xiaofei was soon resurrected with full blood, and he once again started a desperate battle with Li Shifo. Although for various reasons, he still did not shake Li Shifo's king. But during that period, "Li Shifo No. 1. Ma Xiaofei No. 2", which is recognized even by the Korean Go community.

"Don't worry, I believe that Mr. Ma will come back soon, and it is even more unlikely that he will sink here."

Li Xiaoqiang was very sure when he said this. Although he didn't know if Ma Xiaofei could achieve higher achievements than in his previous life. But he is sure that Ma Xiaofei's achievements will never be lower than in his previous life.

The most important reason why Li Xiaoqiang is so convinced is that he believes that the current world chess scene is different from the previous life. In the current world chess world, there is him Li Xiaoqiang!

Because of himself, then he and Ma Xiaofei can sharpen each other. The value of such sharpening will definitely not be lower than that of Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo. Because of himself, in the future chess battle, as long as Ma Xiaofei adjusts his mentality, he will not have to carry such a heavy burden.

You must know that for a proud and sensitive person like Ma Xiaofei, if he can unload the burden, it is crucial for him to play at a high level. There are these two reasons, so Li Xiaoqiang never worried that Ma Xiaofei would sink like this.

Li Xiaoqiang thinks about future competition, but it doesn't seem to help the current situation.

I don't know if it was infected by Ma Xiaofei, and the news of Chinese chess players losing kept coming from the next arena.

Liu Da and Xu Bongzhu's game, although Liu Da's situation was once promising, in the research room, Li Xiaoqiang and Zhang Da reporters also enthusiastically helped Liu Da design a way to win chess, but in the end Jiang was still old and spicy, and Liu Da finally failed to resist Xu Bongzhu's counterattack. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu was defeated. Of the eight players who participated, four were already out.

A little after 5 p.m., Yu Ping, a Chinese chess player who participated in the World Series for the first time, was defeated. 5 Chinese players are out. Although a little later, Nie Whirlwind defeated Japan's Tianyuan Liu Shixun, and it was a reversal, which was a little surprise to everyone. However, they lost 5 of the 8 games and only occupied 3 places in the round of 16. Of course, such a result is considered a failure.

After a day of rest, the round of 16 continues. Wait until this round is over. This time, the Chinese team leader who led the team to South Korea to participate in the competition had a slightly ugly face. Because after this round, 2 more Chinese players were eliminated. Nie Whirlwind lost to Kobayashi Koji, and Liu Dazhui lost to Liu Changhyuk. Among the top 8 produced, Li Xiaoqiang is the only seedling left in the Chinese team.

"Fortunately, we still have Xiaoqiang."

After the game, Team Leader Hua said with emotion.

Indeed, in fact, since the "Ying's Cup", the performance of Chinese chess players has not been good.

In the top 8 of the "Ying's Cup", there are Chinese chess players Ma Xiaofei and Li Xiaoqiang.

In the top 8 of the "Toyo Securities Cup", there are Chinese chess players Chang Rensheng and Li Xiaoqiang.

In the top 8 of the first "Samsung Cup", there is Chinese chess player Li Xiaoqiang.

In recent times, there seems to be an overall weakness in Chinese Go.

However, fortunately, we still have Li Xiaoqiang! (To be continued.) )
