Seoul, South Korea, the 6th "Toyo Securities Cup" round of 16 match day. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, South Korean chess player Xu Nengxu came to the Korean Chess Academy early. Today's two listing explanations will be given by him. Therefore, he needs to go to the chess academy to prepare for the lesson.

"Now it seems that the two games of chess that we are going to explain today may be difficult to explain."

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, that is, the official game went down for about 3 hours. In the world competitions of this year, the situation of the chess game is not clear at this time. However, after Xu Nengxu watched the previous process, he said such a sentence with a slightly wry smile to the president of the Korean Chess Academy next to him.

As is the case with many Japanese chess academies, the "chairman" or "secretary-general" of the chess academy is usually held by a professional chess player. However, the president of the chess academy is often not, and is generally held by well-known political or financial figures in China. In other words, the president of the chess academy is often only one of the big financiers of the chess academy, and their Go level is mostly only the level of ordinary Go enthusiasts. I don't usually interfere much in the daily affairs of the chess academy. If it weren't for the opening of the new Korean Chess Academy, they might not have appeared on an occasion like today.

"Oh? Is the situation so bad, it is understandable that "Xu Mingming" is difficult, after all, his opponent is Li Xiaoqiang. But what about the Stone Buddha? The stone Buddha should still be trustworthy. ”

Although the president is only an amateur chess player, Xu Nengxu understands what he means in seconds. His so-called "difficult to say" actually means that the situation of the two Korean chess players is not good. Of course, this is also very understandable. The Korean Chess Academy has just moved, and it has just moved from a small dilapidated house to a brand new big house. This would have been a great thing for the Korean chess community. But during your happy event, when the chess fans came to the chess academy to cheer the game, they heard that the Korean chess players lost two games...... Although this is not a big deal, after all, it will ruin people's interest, right? Expecting the possible situation, Mr. Xu Nengxu will of course find it difficult to talk about today's chess.

Xu Nengxu is nicknamed "Monkey King on the plate". It is one of the famous "Top 5 Challengers" at the end of the "Cao Xu Era" of Korean Go. He is a veteran stalwart of the Korean Go world. Of course, if it comes to the later Internet era, Xu Nengxu's fame may be greater, not because he has become stronger, but because he is extremely addicted to chess. Senior online chess enthusiasts know that Xu Nengxu is the famous "athlete's foot".

Now Mr. "athlete's foot" has listened to the president's words. He once again buried his head in inspecting the game of Nie Whirlwind VS Li Shifo. This game of chess was held by Li Shifo, and after he studied it carefully again, he finally shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Yes, although the second half of the stone Buddha's kung fu is trustworthy. But I still have to say, if I could choose...... In such a situation, I would not hesitate to choose white. ”

"Is there something wrong with the stone Buddha?"

"No, at my level, I can't find any questionable moves from black."

"Ahh So what's the problem? ”

"That's where I'm confused. Obviously he couldn't see the problem hand, and every move of the stone Buddha looked blameless. But he is backward. This only says ...... Description......

"What does it mean?"

"It shows that Mr. Nie in China today is really good! His whole trick is smooth, and it is extremely majestic. The advantage he has now is not relying on one move or one style, but the accumulated advantage. Compared to him, the stone Buddha is a bit conservative. ”

"That's it......" The president understood what Xu Nengxu meant, but he didn't have much to worry about now. Indeed, there are too many comments about Li Shifo's game: "falling behind in the first half of the game, and finally relying on officials to reverse Yunyun's ......" happened to him too many times. So much so that everyone is used to it.

Today's game of chess seems to be the same kind of way again. But will the outcome of today's game be different from usual? No one can know at this time.

What about "Xu Mingming"? What is the current situation of the game of chess of "Xu Mingming"? ”

Seo Bong-so is not currently a reigning "celebrity" in South Korea. It's just that when he was just starting out, he unexpectedly won the title of "celebrity" in South Korea, and has been dominating 5 consecutive times, which is why many people in the Korean chess world will now call him "Xu Mingming". I heard the president mention Seo Bong-so's game of chess. Xu Nengxu's smile was even more bitter:

"In my opinion, this game of chess of "Xu Mingming" ...... It's probably not enough for me to put up a list to explain. ”

"Ahh How so? ”

Although he is an amateur, he must be a veteran chess fan if he can become the president of the Korean Chess Academy. In his opinion, Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess has only played more than 70 hands now. Now the two sides are fighting on the chessboard, and the scene is chaotic. But listen to what Xu Nengxu means......

"Yes, I think it will be difficult for "Xu Mingming" to last until 4 o'clock in the afternoon......" In the face of the president's inquiry, Xu Nengxu answered very affirmatively this time:

"This is also the "Xu celebrity", if it is for me to go up and play with the "chessboard wizard", in the face of this situation, I will now have the urge to admit defeat. ”

In fact, Mr. "athlete's foot" is still a little conservative. Seo Bong-so didn't make it to 4 o'clock, and just after 3 p.m., the chess game was played less than 90 hands, and Seo Bong-so couldn't hold it anymore. He gloomily chose to throw in the towel.

On the chessboard, a big dragon of Seo Bong-so is strewn all over the field!

After a brief review, neither Lee Xiaoqiang nor Seo Bong-so stayed in the game room too much. They all came to the viewing room to follow other games with their teammates.

On the Korean side, a Korean chess player asked Seo Bong-so:

"Xu celebrity", what's going on? By the way, what do you think of the comparison between Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo? ”

Seo Bong-so is a huge fan of Lee Seok-bo, which is almost an open secret in the Korean chess world. When Li Shifo was competing, he could often be seen Xu Fengzhu moving a small bench and sitting next to him to study respectfully. "Stone Buddha can do anything." This has almost become Seo Bong-so's usual mantra.

"Of course Shi Buddha can do anything, but what about this Li Xiaoqiang......" After losing the chess, Xu Bongzhu's face was a little pale, and there was a kind of silence in his eyes:

“…… And what about this Li Xiaoqiang, he not only knows everything, but also ...... And he was even more unreasonable than me when he played chess. ”

Hearing Seo Bong-so actually say such an evaluation, some Korean chess players wanted to laugh. But after tasting it carefully, no Korean chess player could laugh.

Unlike the depressing atmosphere on the part of the South Koreans, the Chinese delegation was full of laughter. Reporter Zhang Da first gave Li Xiaoqiang a bear hug, and then grinned:

"Tsk, it's too violent, it's too bloody. I said, Xiaoqiang, do you have a grudge against Lao Xu? Two games of chess, slaughtering two super dragons. Is it appropriate for you to do this? How bad it is to leave a psychological shadow on people......"

Just when reporter Zhang Da was chattering and about to continue, Li Xiaoqiang interrupted him with a smile:

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, my plate is a standard morality to convince people...... Mr. Liu, you say yes. ”

Liu Dazhui on the side also laughed and laughed:

"Yes, yes, if you only look at the process later, Lao Xu, the big dragon, should be killed, he is obviously "playing the big dragon" behind him, this chess is not enough to make the people angry. But Xiaoqiang, you should be in the shadow of other people's dragons from this time on......"

Liu Dazhui pointed to a move made by Li Xiaoqiang on the chessboard, which was the 50th move in the overall situation:

“…… Tsk, it's too insidious, Xiaoqiang, you're too insidious. People are a little unreasonable with one move, and you start to shadow other people's dragons. Just like you, are you embarrassed to say what to convince people with virtue? ”

Seeing that Liu Dazhui broke the key point of this game of chess, Li Xiaoqiang smiled embarrassedly, but he still argued with his neck stalked. I saw Li Xiaoqiang make an innocent face:

"I'm going to make this move...... Why is my move insidious? I'm obviously the standard to convince people with virtue. As the saying goes, pigs have to be fattened and killed, so this big dragon will naturally have to be fattened and eaten. Mr. Liu, tell me, is my move today very in line with this chess theory? ”

Liu Dazhui was made to cry and laugh by Li Xiaoqiang:

"Go, what kind of chess are you......"

Everyone's jokes didn't last long, because for the current Li Xiaoqiang, whether it is to defeat Mr. Seo Bong-so or enter the top 8 of the World Series again. It seems to be a very common thing, and it doesn't make everyone very excited.

After a brief review of the game he had just concluded, Li Xiaoqiang began to pay attention to other tournaments, especially the two-game matches in which Chinese players participated.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Nengxu's explanation of their listing had begun, but they finally removed the game of Li Xiaoqiang VS Xu Bongsu and replaced it with the game of Liu Changhyuk vs. Dazhu Hero.

At half past four in the afternoon, the Chinese delegation was already in a mood of optimism, with more and more laughter. Now not only the form of the Nie Whirlwind is very good. And in a game of fine chess, Ma Xiaofei's situation also began to prevail.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the situation of Nie Whirlwind's game of chess was already very clear, unless there was an incredible "faint move", it was unlikely that he would lose that game of chess. And in the game of Ma Xiaofei VS Kobayashi Jue, Ma Xiaofei has also turned his advantage into a victory.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoqiang decided to pretend to act as a god stick again. I saw him smile and say to reporter Zhang Da:

"I said reporter Zhang Da, I think you can now mention going to China to make a report, just write that three Chinese chess players entered the top 8 of this year's "Toyo Securities Cup" at the same time. (To be continued......)
