PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

After the semi-finals of the first "Samsung Cup", Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhe met in the finals of two world competitions in a row, which became a topic of conversation in the Go world for a while.

“…… In the semi-finals of the first "Samsung Cup", Liu Changhyuk, who was as strong as the sun in early summer, melted the majesty of Li Shifo's winter mountains. He and China's Li Xiaoqiang will meet in the final......"

“…… The just-concluded semi-finals of the "Samsung Cup" are a feast for the eyes. A strong hand to the death, a straight-line attack that broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, Liu Changhyuk poured out his full talent on the chessboard, and his gorgeous chess style that swept the whole situation penetrated the dense fog of Li Shifo......"

“…… Attack is king! Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhyuk, two offensive players, have met in the finals of the World Series for the second time in a row. Does this mean that the world chess world has entered the era of "attack is king"......

In the post-match reports, most of them focused on the match between Liu Changhyuk and Lee Seok-fo, and basically passed off Li Xiaoqiang's defeat of Liang Jae-ho. It's normal to think about it, Li Xiaoqiang defeated Liang Jaehao with a score of 2-0, which is the most normal result everyone expected, and it can even be said that this is not news at all in everyone's opinion. Since it's not news, of course, it doesn't have much value to comment.

In addition to this, there was another interesting thing in the post-match report, which was that someone made a post-match argument that "attack is king". Needless to say, Liu Changhe is considered by everyone to be an "aggressive" chess player, although Li Xiaoqiang is considered by many people to be an "offensive and defensive" chess player, but because Li Xiaoqiang usually plays chess very aggressively, his chess style is also classified as "aggressive" by many people. Coupled with Cao Yanzi, who has already won the championship in the "Toyo Securities Cup", Cao Yanzi's "soft wind and fast gun" is naturally also an "offensive type".

Regardless of the results of the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Yoo Chang-hyuk, in the 5 world series this year. Three titles have already fallen into the hands of "aggressive" players, which is rare in recent years, so this phenomenon has also caused a lot of discussion.

Among the top players in today's chess world, Li Xiaoqiang, Cao Yanzi and Liu Changhe are considered "attacking" chess players, while the remaining South Korean Li Shifo. China's Ma Xiaofei and Japan's Kobayashi Lao Zhao and others are considered to be "defensive".

Needless to say, the Japanese chess world has been dominated by Kobayashi Koji and Zhao Zhixun for a long time since Masaki Takemiya and Masao Kato drifted apart, and it has always been a "defensive" chess player. Not only in the Japanese chess world, but also in the international chess world, since Li Xiaoqiang was defeated by Ma Xiaofei in 95, the world championship in the first two years seems to be occupied by "defensive" chess players. Therefore, since the beginning of this year, this new change has occurred in the world chess world, will the "attacking" chess player turn over and become the master? This topic has been talked about for a while.

"Stone Buddha. What do you think about this issue? I have the impression that this is the second time you have lost to Yoo Chang-hyuk Jiudan in Fanqi this year. What is unique about Liu Jiuduan, can you let me share your experience? ”

In late May, one week after Li Xiaoqiang returned to China, China's 97 annual Go League started, and when Li Shifo went to China to participate in the "Weijia", Li Xiaoqiang asked Li Shifo this question with a smile.

By this year, China's "Weijia" has entered its third year. And Li Shifo has also been Li Xiaoqiang's teammate. Although Li Shifo does not appear many times in "Wai Jia", it adds up to more than 10 times. Through so many interactions. Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo are already very familiar with each other in private. Although both of them know that both regard each other as their biggest rivals in life. But just a joke of this level. It's okay for everyone to open up.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, Li Shifo was not angry, let alone angry, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"With your Li Xiaoqiang's cleverness, you can't see where Brother Chang He is powerful? Brother Chang He's offensive talent ......" Speaking of this, Li Shifo shook his head, and then said to Li Xiaoqiang with a smile:

"It is said that you Li Xiaoqiang is the first talent. Actually, I think you can only compare with me, your talent is better than mine, I admit, but if you compare with Chang Hyuk's brother, I think your offensive talent is really not as strong as his. ”

After listening to Li Shifo's words, Li Xiaoqiang laughed. Of course Li Xiaoqiang knows. Li Shifo's words are half-truths and half-falses, and they are not entirely purely aimed at "hitting" himself. For example, Li Shifo just talked about "talent", please note that he added a definite sentence in front of him, he only refers to "offensive talent", maybe in his mind, his "offensive talent" may not be comparable to Liu Changhe.

There are only a few top chess players in the entire world chess world, and it should be said that whether it is Li Xiaoqiang or Li Shifo, they all know Liu Changhe's technical characteristics very well. In Li Xiaoqiang's view, the reason why Liu Changhe can become a top master is that his biggest reliance is what Li Shifo called "offensive talent". Of course, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that Liu Changhe still has one more commendability, that is, his "assassin attributes".

The more important the game, Liu Changhyuk always seems to be able to play better, and the more critical moments, his characteristics can always be brought into full play. Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is the most terrifying thing about Liu Changhe, and his characteristic is the reason why Li Shifo is deflated.

If you don't look at anything else, just compare the two of them's mutual records, and you'll find that Li Shifo has won a lot more, and you'd even think that the two of them aren't opponents at all. Not only Li Shifo, but in fact, compared with most top chess players, Liu Changhyuk's data is inconspicuous. For example, compared with Li Xiaoqiang, so far, Liu Changhe has only won 1 game of chess against Li Xiaoqiang. But Li Xiaoqiang will never look down on Liu Changhe because of this.

Because Li Xiaoqiang knows that the more major the game, the higher the level of the game, and Liu Changhe's winning rate seems to be able to improve. Admittedly, this is actually quite a remarkable thing. In the world of victory and defeat, a chess player with this temperament is very scary.

"What are you laughing at, don't you agree with me?"

Li Shifo looked at Li Xiaoqiang with interest, and of course Li Shifo thought that he knew better than Li Xiaoqiang about Liu Changhe's characteristics. Especially for Liu Changhe's characteristic of "being stronger when encountering the strong", Li Shifo himself has had skin pain, and Li Xiaoqiang has not suffered a loss in the hands of Liu Changhe for the time being. Therefore, Li Shifo did not mention it just now. First, he has no obligation to remind Li Xiaoqiang, and second, he thinks that Li Xiaoqiang may not care if he mentions him. It's just that he didn't expect Li Xiaoqiang to be a reborn, and he also has a very clear understanding of this issue.

Neither side will say it, then of course there will only be talk about "offensive talent".

"Agree, of course I agree, Liu Jiuduan's attack ability is indeed the best in the world. I was just thinking. Even you can't suppress his attacks, so when I play against him, what kind of approach will I take? ”

"It's very simple, the attack, and then let me appreciate and appreciate the high chess of your attack flow."

"Good idea, hahahaha......"

Li Xiaoqiang laughed again. Of course, he knew in his heart that Li Shifo was just joking, the finals of the "Ying's Cup" and the "Samsung Cup" were both five-way chess, and the finals of the "Ying's Cup" would only start next month. There are so many games to play, and it is useless to talk about what game strategy to play at this time.

After a few more jokes with each other, the two talked about the current game, and Li Shifo said to Li Xiaoqiang with a smile:

"Why don't you compete with Brother Chang Hyuk tomorrow? Tomorrow this Lord will take you over? ”

Tomorrow is the opening game of this year's "Siege Armor", and the opponent of the Ganyuan team tomorrow happens to be Liu Changhe's Yunnan Provincial Team.

In the last 2 years. The results of the Ganyuan team have not been up or down, and there is no hope of winning the championship. The kind of team that doesn't have to worry about relegation. The main reason for this is that the strength of the next 2 is not strong, and Li Shifo can only participate in less than 10 games a year, so even if Li Xiaoqiang tries his best, he can't lead the whole team to win the championship.

This year, the basic situation of the Ganyuan team has not changed at all. There are no changes to any of the players. Last year, Li Xiaoqiang still wanted to introduce a few potential young chess players, but unfortunately his reputation as "Li Tiezui" was outside, and he talked with the Shancheng team about introducing Gu Dali, and Gu Dali immediately became the key training object of the Shancheng team. and the Beijing team about Kong Erjie's transfer. The coach of the Beijing team almost chased Li Xiaoqiang with a knife. Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to give up his efforts in this regard.

Fortunately, as far as Li Xiaoqiang himself is concerned, he personally does not value the field of "Weijia". Li Xiaoqiang believes that his main battlefield should still be in international competitions. The purpose of participating in the "Weijia" is not to give yourself more opportunities to play chess, but to give more people the opportunity to challenge themselves......

Inviting Li Shifo to participate in the "Weijia" is the same reason, not to let the Ganyuan team win the championship, but to let more Chinese chess players have the opportunity to play against him. After figuring out this positioning, as long as Li Shifo plays in the "Wai Jia", Li Xiaoqiang will generally give up the position of the main general - the main general of other teams is usually a first-class master in China. Let the domestic first-class masters have the opportunity to play against the world's super-first-class masters.

However, I came across a team that also invited strong foreign support......

Li Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and then he smiled and said to Li Shifo:

"No, before the Ying's Cup final, I really don't want to meet Liu Jiuduan in advance. Tomorrow you will be the main general, just to provide you with a chance to take revenge. ”

In the opening match of the "Siege of the Armor" on the second day, Li Shifo served as the main general of the Ganyuan team, but the main general of the Yunnan Provincial team was not Liu Changhe. It seems that Yoo Chang-hyuk has the same mind, and he even does it even better, he plays rapid chess.

"Weijia" has been launched for 2 years, and now all teams know that if there are no special circumstances, the people who play rapid chess on behalf of the Ganyuan team are basically Qian Yuping Jiudan.

In the opening match of "Siege Armor", the Ganyuan team won the "main victory" by virtue of the victory of Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo.

After the game, Li Xiaoqiang took Liu Changhe's chess game to study Qian Yuping.

"It's really an attack for the king......" Li Xiaoqiang sighed secretly in his heart.

With the end of the opening match of "Siege Armor", May 1997 also passed quickly.

In June 1997, there were still several important international competitions waiting for Li Xiaoqiang.
