Chapter 669: Does He Have Thirteen Paragraphs?
Li Xiaoqiang won two consecutive victories in the promotion match with new chess players, which caused a lot of shock in the world chess world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
“。。。 In Li Xiaoqiang vs the world's strongest new talent Shiban lifting match, Li Xiaoqiang won two consecutive victories, and he showed unfathomable chess skills in the game to make people stunned, does he really have a thirteen-dan level... ”
Yes, that's what makes a lift race different from a normal race. In addition to wins and losses and championships, the lifting tournament can provide more topics for everyone to talk about, and can allow people to see things that they don't usually see.
That's the beauty of the lift.
Before the start of this competition, everyone talked a lot about this competition, and in all the discussions, of course, the prediction of the final result was indispensable. However, in the prediction at that time, from inside the Go circle to outside the Go circle, from professional chess players to ordinary chess fans, it was generally believed that Li Xiaoqiang was more than lucky this time.
Of course, this "more than lucky" does not mean that Li Xiaoqiang will lose badly, but everyone generally believes that in these 10 games, it is difficult for Li Xiaoqiang to achieve half of the winning rate. That is to say, starting from "Dingxian", in the end, Li Xiaoqiang can keep this chess position and be considered successful.
You can't blame everyone for thinking so at the time. As for the evaluation of the strength of this group of new chess players, it is generally believed that their average strength has reached the level of professional nine dans, and this has been discussed before the competition, and a certain consensus has been reached, and neither professional chess players nor ordinary chess fans have any objections to this.
According to the ancient standard of the Go world: 2 dan is one first. In order to make nine dan first, this must have the strength of eleven dan dan stage. It should be pointed out that letting Li Xiaoqiang start this lifting match with the chess part of "Dingxian" actually contains this meaning.
As Li Xiaoqiang, who is currently the first person in the world chess world, does he have the strength of eleven dans? At least not many people thought that way until this competition. Even the most determined "little strong fans" such as reporter Zhang Da and others, at most they only show a "cautious optimistic" attitude.
But now it's not a matter of the eleventh paragraph, looking at Li Xiaoqiang's current posture, he is clearly going to the thirteenth paragraph. Therefore, although this match has just been played in two sets, everyone's discussion has heated up again.
Everyone is not only concerned about the victory or defeat of these two games, but more people are still lamenting Li Xiaoqiang's superb chess skills in these two games. An ordinary chess fan who claims to "watch Li Xiaoqiang grow up" expressed such feelings:
"I grew up watching Li Xiaoqiang, and in these two games of chess, I seem to see the shadow of Li Xiaoqiang when he was young. This is the most real Li Xiaoqiang! That's what he's best at! So I am very grateful to the organizers of the competition, which allowed me to appreciate the true style of Li Xiaoqiang, because in other competitions, Li Xiaoqiang has almost seen such a thing. ”
When he said this, the chess fan shook his head and made a look of pity. It can be seen that this chess fan must be a "spoiler" enthusiast, but I don't know if he plays chess by himself.
What was Li Xiaoqiang's forte when he was young? That is, of course, his excellent "spoiler" kung fu. At that time, due to Li Xiaoqiang's lack of strength, especially his understanding of Go was not deep enough, which led to him often falling behind in the first half of the game, and many wins were "disrupted" in the middle and late games. This characteristic of him has always made a very strong impression on everyone.
And Li Xiaoqiang's way of winning in these two games is actually similar to the way he won when he was young. Of course, this is not difficult to understand, for example, in the next game of "handicap", which is equivalent to you being 6 and a half or 7 and a half meshes from the beginning. Then in this case, the idea of playing chess will be different, and what "general proportion" and the like must not be considered.
And unlike the game of splitting first, this kind of chess needs to be "stirred" more thoroughly. The "stirring" when playing pair chess is often when the game is in the middle and late game when it is realized that it is lagging behind. And to play this kind of chess, you need to start "stirring" from the first move.
Not only that, but playing this kind of chess requires you to "stir" more thoroughly. Because even if Li Xiaoqiang's level was not as good as others before, he rarely encountered so many backward situations. If you are 6 to 7 meters behind in the middle of the game, then most of the time you have actually "stirred" it.
This chess fan's emotion actually comes from this. Li Xiaoqiang in these two games of chess is the Li Xiaoqiang that everyone usually can't see. Although Li Xiaoqiang's "disruptive skills" are well known, to this day, Li Xiaoqiang no longer needs to "stir up" in most ordinary games, and his "disruptive skills" are only occasional.
Therefore, when everyone watched these two games of chess, when everyone re-appreciated Li Xiaoqiang's "disruptive magic", many people expressed "unfathomable" feelings.
No matter what everyone says about Li Xiaoqiang's "unfathomable", the game will always continue. By this point, it can be said that there is no way back for the new players. In order to avoid the humiliation of being demoted to 2 sons, the "international column" must come up with a way.
Against this backdrop, the third up-and-coming player to appear is attracting attention. This time, everyone agreed on the same opinion: the third player to appear must be the strongest of the 10 new players.
Having said that, this candidate is still uncertain. These young people are excellent, but now after all, it is not their world. At most, these people can only be active in their respective domestic chess circles, and they have not achieved much in the international arena, and there are not many opportunities for communication with each other, which makes it impossible for everyone to make horizontal comparisons.
In this case, the three "team leaders" had to do multiple-choice questions again. They picked out three candidates, namely Gu Dali, Li Shishi and Yamashita Keigo, who are considered to be the best emerging chess players in their respective countries, and everyone is ready to choose one of these three players to play this third game with Li Xiaoqiang.
Interestingly, among these three players, Gu Dali was the first to be eliminated, and although he himself expressed a strong desire to play, he was still quickly excluded by everyone.
The reason why Gu Dali was eliminated is very simple: he is not completely convincing now.
As a master disciple of Nie Whirlwind, many people see the next generation leader of Chinese Go, and now Gu Dali is indeed very famous, and many people know that there is such a number one person in Chinese Go. But to be honest, his current fame is more like being praised by others than by himself.
The funny thing is that in fact, among them, the person who "supports" Gu Dali the most is Li Xiaoqiang himself.
Due to the reasons of his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang never concealed his love for Gu Dali. As long as it is the right occasion, Li Xiaoqiang has never been stingy with his praise for Gu Dali, and has always praised him.
"Li Tiezui", then everyone always has to listen to it. This has also caused Gu Dali's fame to become more and more famous, and more and more people know that there is Gu Dali's number one in the Chinese chess world.
But to be honest, Gu Dali's current achievements do not match his fame. Especially compared to his competitors, Gu Dali has no advantage. Li Shishi passed the qualifiers for the "LC Cup" last year and has already appeared on the international stage, and has also performed well in the domestic title match. And what about Gu Dali? Not to mention the international arena, even in the domestic title arena, his record is average, and the winning rate of "Weijia" will reach half. The only record that can be won is a game such as the "Rookie King Battle".
Therefore, he was excluded from everyone in the first place, which is actually reasonable.
Gu Dali was excluded, and the remaining candidates were Li Shishi and Yamashita Keigo, two chess players, and everyone was ready to choose one of the two of them. In the original idea, the idea of letting Yamashita Keigo go first prevailed.
To be honest, when Li Xiaoqiang first heard the news, he was still very surprised. In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, if he chooses the worst one among the 10 chess players, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that Yamashita Keigo is quite competitive. But now ... Everyone is choosing the strongest one...
"Isn't everyone's vision so bad?"
In Li Xiaoqiang's heart, he even complained silently like this. However, Li Xiaoqiang thought about it later, this really can't blame everyone's vision, let alone ask everyone to "look at the problem from the perspective of development" like himself.
Compared with Li Shishi, Yamashita's biggest advantage at present is actually his age. Born in '78 and only 3 years younger than Li Xiaoqiang, Yamashita is the oldest of the 10 up-and-coming chess players.
In the growth stage of a chess player, the age of the chess player represents strength. How so? The current Yamashita is actually very similar to the Ita Kiki back then. He currently holds the title of almost all restricted tournaments in Japan. For example, "Rookie King Battle", "Junying Battle" or something, these champions are currently in the hands of Yamashita .
And compared with the Ida Kiki back then, the current Yamashita seems to be even better. At least his results in the 7 major news chess battles seem to be much better than that of Yitian Kiki back then.
Therefore, in this case, it is not surprising that Yamashita was chosen as the third player to play.
But there is a good saying, it is called that the plan can't catch up with the change, and just when Li Xiaoqiang was ready to accept the challenge of Keigo Yamashita, the situation seemed to have changed again.
This change was brought about by Li Shishi, who used his practical actions to shake everyone's decision.
In the current Korean chess world, a scene of "crazy stones" is being staged.
Since the second half of last year, to be precise, since losing to Chang Rensheng in the first round of last year's "LC Cup", Xiao Li has not known what his hopes are for losing for more than half a year. By March of this year, he had reached more than 30 consecutive victories.
Not only that, Xiao Li's winning streak is not bad, among the opponents he won, in addition to the name of Li Shifo, there are many top Korean masters such as Cao Yanzi, Liu Changhyuk, and Xu Bongsu.
"Is it better to pick the oldest Yamashita Mountain? Or let Li Shishi, who is in the best form, go on the stone? ”
The three leaders of the "International Column" are now starting to struggle again.
"What a crazy stone...
Li Xiaoqiang, who heard the news, also sighed in his heart at this time.
In fact, when everyone had a headache for the third candidate, Li Xiaoqiang didn't take this matter to heart. Because although this game is very interesting and very eye-catching, this is not a mainstream competition after all. Li Xiaoqiang can't put all his attention here. His more important task is to capture the flag in other world championships. This distinction between priority and subordination is still clear to Li Xiaoqiang.
This year, there is no "Toyo Securities Cup", but there is one more "Autumn Chrysanthemum Cup". Therefore, this year, as last year, there will be 4 champions. What were the results in these 4 competitions? This is what Li Xiaoqiang values most in his heart.
The 3rd and 4th rounds of the Rising Talent Tournament will be held at the end of April. At the beginning of April, the first two rounds of the "Fujitsu Cup", and in mid-April, the top 8 of the "Qiuju Cup". These games are Li Xiaoqiang's main battlefield. Therefore, before the third game came, Li Xiaoqiang definitely didn't have so much energy to prepare for this game.
Despite this, hearing about Li Shishi's winning streak, Li Xiaoqiang still sighed a little in his heart.
And at this time, Li Xiaoqiang's attitude towards this competition has changed a little.
Li Xiaoqiang was a senior chess fan in his previous life, and he was also a science and engineering man. Senior chess fans are not the same as ordinary senior chess fans, and sometimes these people are very interested in some statistics and other things.
For example, Li Xiaoqiang is very interested in some data or records in Go.
In the world of professional Go, who maintains and creates the highest annual win rate? That should be Mr. Eio Sakata, who once recorded a record of 30 wins and 2 losses in one year, with a 93% win rate. This is a very remarkable achievement, a record that is jaw-dropping. It is estimated that this record will be difficult to break for a long time.
In addition to the highest win rate, the rest is the highest winning streak.
The highest winning streak was set by Li Shifo, who once set a record of 41 consecutive wins.
To be honest, although Li Xiaoqiang is currently the No. 1 player in the world chess world, he still thinks this record is a bit incredible. He thinks it's going to be hard for him to break that record.
And the second place is the 33 consecutive wins that Li Shishi once created.
"From the perspective of time, this wave of winning streak created by Xiao Li should be at this time. When the time comes, you'd better send Xiao Li to play. And hopefully your winning streak doesn't end. I probably won't be able to create such a winning streak. But if you can terminate it yourself, it seems to be a beautiful thing... ”
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoqiang smiled a little obscenely.
Sometimes I have to say that Li Xiaoqiang's psychology is still quite dark. (To be continued.) )
