"Little pig, play hard today, and strive to cut the boss off the horse."

"Don't mention it, dead sign." Luo Shenzhu's answer looked a little downcast

That's not necessarily, the fate of the boss and the "CCTV Cup" has always been bad, especially in the semi-finals, which is simply a hurdle that he can't pass. So we're pretty bullish on you. Well, if you can really win the boss today, then we will put on a celebration banquet for you in the evening, and you don't have to pay for it. ”

"Go, go, it's useless for you to say something, if I can really win today, then I'll still use your money? Let me tell you, if a miracle happens today, then I will do a special job, and you can eat whatever you want......"

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in this rapid chess match is Luo Shenzhu. Before Luo Shenzhu walked on the field, the group of people in the national youth team cheered him on in their own unique ways.

In the past year or two, Chang Rensheng and Luo Shenzhu have grown rapidly and have gradually entered the ranks of first-class masters in China. Like Liu Dahammer and Cao Dafang, they don't have much upper hand over them. Even Nie Whirlwind and Chang Rensheng have a record of winning battles. But in front of them, there are still two mountains, these are Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei. So far, they have not climbed these two mountains in an official race.

Ma Xiaofei's situation is easy to understand, because Ma Xiaofei holds most of the domestic titles. Chang Rensheng didn't fight him many times. Occasionally, with Ma Xiaofei's ability to "win", they have really not won so far.

Li Xiaoqiang's situation is different from Ma Xiaofei's, because Li Xiaoqiang often has to start from the qualifiers, so he has more opportunities to meet Chang Rensheng and them. However, so far, the usual training chess does not count, and in the official competition, Li Xiaoqiang still maintains a complete victory against his peers.

Everyone is the same age, and they usually get along day and night. In the minds of Chang Ren Sheng. The ** that defeated Li Xiaoqiang must be a little stronger than the ** that defeated Ma Xiaofei, which is understandable. Therefore, as long as there is someone who wants to compete with Li Xiaoqiang, similar ridicule and encouragement often appear.

"Every day, I say that the celebration banquet is a celebration banquet, but I have been waiting for your celebration banquet for many years, but unfortunately I haven't waited for it once. By the way, I can remind you that if you really want to put on this celebration feast, you must call me. ”

Li Xiaoqiang appeared in the crowd with a smile. He first unceremoniously "despise" everyone with a poisonous tongue, and then turned his head to "teach" Luo Shenzhu alone:

"Piglet. What are you doing here, what's the matter? Are you still asking me to wait for you to compete? You're younger than me, you're lower than me, and you're only a little bit higher, so why don't you hurry up and get into the game room? , really, playing chess is so-so, and even the basic etiquette is so-so......"

When Chang Rensheng expressed their desire to "defeat Li Xiaoqiang", they never taboo Li Xiaoqiang's presence. It's all going on in broad daylight. Li Xiaoqiang naturally doesn't care about such things, he even enjoys this identity as an "enemy of the whole people" very much, so such bickering counterattacks are everywhere.

"Arrogance. Boss, you're so arrogant. ”

"Hehe, I've been waiting for the day when you are arrogant, but haven't I been waiting for it."

The rapid chess tournament was naturally fast, starting at 2 p.m. By less than 4 o'clock, the situation was almost clear.

A domestic rapid chess tournament, and the two sides of the game seem to be strong and weak. Therefore, not many players are paying attention to this game. In the research room of the Chess Academy, there was no one else watching this game except for the players of the national youth team. And at this time, even Chang Rensheng and them looked listless.

"Disperse, disperse, this chess is nothing to look at. The boss is a pervert, how can we not find the flaws in his chess. The game is won or lost, and if it is to give way first, this chess can still be watched. Ocean, that's pretty much the way things are going now, right? ”

Chang Rensheng was the first to speak after judging the situation, and he asked Zhou Dayang, who was also seriously examining the chess game around him, and Zhou Dayang basically agreed with Chang Rensheng's judgment:

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say let's go first, but that's basically what it looks like. Piggy's black pieces are better than one or two moves, and I judge that at most 2 moves, it will definitely not exceed this number. And the chessboard is already so small, this chess should be over, and the boss wins very clearly. Okay, scattered and scattered, this chess has nothing to look forward to. If you want to eat this big meal, I think it will be a long time coming. ”

Hearing the conclusion of these two, everyone dispersed, some went back to the dormitory, and some went to other places to continue training. Like many times before, everyone should do what they do.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Qing, the only one still left in the research room, looked for someone everywhere.

"Quick...... Banquet! Tonight's big meal! ”

"Huh?! What's the situation? ”

"Hahaha, the boss died suddenly...... Ghost Hands! Piggy made a ghost move......"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Tell me where to make it clear, anyway, their chess is over, let's go to the game room and see what is going on."

After getting the news, everyone rushed into the game room. In the game room, Luo Shenzhu's face was flushed after winning the chess, and he lowered his head, as if he was a little embarrassed to win Li Xiaoqiang. On the opposite side of Luo Shen Pig, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't see any annoyance after losing the game, he looked at Luo Shen Pig opposite with a smile.

Li Xiaoqiang just sighed in his heart, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, and in the foreseeable future, the number of such times would only increase. As these peers grow up, they will surely become their real opponents at some point.

In the rapid chess match, the talented Luo Shenzhu took the lead in breaking through his own defense, and this result was also very normal. In fact, Li Xiaoqiang also thought about this question in private: who of his peers can be the first to defeat him? In terms of comprehensive strength, among them, Chang Rensheng and Zhou Dayang should be slightly superior. But their style of chess is too honest, they don't reach that skill, and it's hard for them to win themselves. What is really more promising is a "genius" chess player like Luo Shenzhu Liu Qing.

Today's game of chess, for example, is a striking example.

"Come on, come on, boss, I salute you, first, to apologize to you, I'm really embarrassed to use this kind of indiscriminate winning method. Second, I also saved some character for the boss. I wish the boss to continue to make great progress in the Fujitsu Cup, and it is best to come back with another championship trophy. ”

After taking the lead in making a breakthrough, the "celebration banquet" was naturally to be placed, and it was fulfilled that night. Li Xiaoqiang happily had a drink with Luo Shen Pig:

"I'll take it if I save character, well, I love to hear it. But there is no need to apologize. Seriously, little pig, your winning method today must be no less than three indiscriminate, and you don't need to be embarrassed. Let me tell you the truth, through today's game of chess. I also learned something. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. ”

"Boss, you're too exaggerated, isn't the context of this game of chess very simple? The little pig keeps a ghost step, and then you don't notice, and then you die suddenly. Can you also feel this kind of loss? Speak it up and tell everyone. ”

Listening to Li Xiaoqiang's "insight", everyone temporarily stopped handing over the cup and changing the lamp, and urged Li Xiaoqiang to continue. Since entering the national junior team, everyone has been getting along day and night for nearly 10 years. For so many years, Li Xiaoqiang has been their "boss". When he was young, Li Xiaoqiang mainly led everyone to study specific technical problems. Later. Regarding his experience in participating in the World Championships, as well as some of his own insights, Li Xiaoqiang never hides his secrets, and he will tell his peers without reservation. Let everyone benefit a lot. Therefore, this "boss", they call it sincerely.

"On the surface, I lost today to the little piggy. But is this my real cause of failure? I don't think so, I actually lost to another very unique talent of Piggy. A kind of "tricky" talent, if you can understand this, I think it will be helpful to you in the future. ”

"Temptation?"

"That's right. It's a mistake! , the ability to lure opponents into making mistakes. That's the real reason for my failure. ”

After saying this, there was a brief silence on the wine table, and everyone was carefully savoring what Li Xiaoqiang said. Most of the people in the national Go team are extremely talented, and soon some people understood what Li Xiaoqiang meant.

For example, in today's game of chess, Luo Shenzhu's ghost move is indeed very exquisite, he made a step "pounce", which was a suicidal tight move, and after this move appeared on the chessboard, Li Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded, this is a blind spot that he didn't notice in the game, and he tightened his breath with suicide, causing a piece of chess that he could have lived to be killed, and the chess game naturally came to an abrupt end.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang believes that this is not the crux of the problem, the real problem is that Luo Shen Zhutu saw a series of confusing methods before the dagger, which caused him to completely ignore the flaws here, which is the main reason for his loss.

Li Xiaoqiang admitted that he really didn't notice that blind spot when he played. There are reasons for this. But having said that, when Go has reached the level of Li Xiaoqiang, he is often very sensitive to the weaknesses in the chess form, and many similar scenes, even if no specific means are found, when he smells danger, he makes up for his flaws in time, such examples are not uncommon.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang said: The focus is not on the ghost hand, but on the previous series of confusing methods, and this trick is the key to the problem.

Being able to lure the opponent into completely ignoring his flaws and thus making mistakes is also a very unique talent in Go. And Luo Shenzhu is a chess player with this talent. For example, in his magical journey to the championship in real history, there are several sets in which you can see the flashes of his genius. Especially the game against South Korea's "young hero" Song Tae-kun, it is simply a typical chess game of "temptation".

"You know, why do I have such a high win rate against Japanese players? It's because most of the Japanese chess players are too honest, and most of the things they practice are decent kung fu, and most of them are not good at evil kung fu like seduction, and they rarely encounter it in actual combat. But I would like to remind you that Korean chess players are different from Japanese chess players, and among them, there are many, many masters of this kind of mis-deception, so you must pay attention to this when you play against them in the future......"

On the third day after the end of the "celebration banquet", in July 1994, Li Xiaoqiang flew to Japan non-stop to prepare for the semi-finals of the "Fujitsu Cup". (To be continued......)
