On the train from Beijing to Shencheng, in a soft sleeper box, Team Leader Hua was flipping through the newspapers of the last few days.

“…… Li Xiaoqiang's shocking move, Liu Changhe's soul was broken. In the first two games of the 3rd "Ying's Cup" five-way chess finals, the two sides played 1-1. The battle between the two players in the first two games of the final was wonderful and addictive. Now that the last three games of the "Ying's Cup" final are about to be rekindled, what kind of battle will the two have? Now let's wait and see......"

“…… In the final battle of the 3rd "Ying's Cup", the "chessboard wizard" vs. the "world's number one attacker", who of the two can have the last laugh? The fierce battle is on the verge of breaking out......"

“…… In the Olympic Games of the Go world, the "Ying's Cup", known as the vane of the chess world, has ushered in the most critical moment, who is the champion of this year? The answer will be known in a week......"

This time, he accompanied Li Xiaoqiang to Shencheng to compete, and the management of the Chinese Chess Academy almost went out. For example, in this train box, in addition to Team Leader Hua and Li Xiaoqiang, there are also reporter Zhang Da and Nie Whirlwind. In a box next to it, there was also Coach Chen Chaoluo and two other staff members.

The chess academy has made such a big formation, and it feels normal to think about it carefully. After all, this is the final of the "Ying's Cup". This year was different from previous years, never before had so many World Series come together. If this year's five world championships are regarded as a conference battle between the three Go powers of China, Japan and South Korea, then the final of the "Ying's Cup" is one of the important mountains, and even the most important one. Therefore, it is understandable that the Chinese Go community has made such a big fanfare.

"This horse is small, his current state is really worrying."

In the private room, Team Leader Hua, who was reading the sports section of the newspaper, suddenly said this. Of course, the newspapers that Hua Leader read have Go sections, and in the Go section, in addition to reports related to the "Ying's Cup". Of course, there are other news.

“…… In the ongoing qualifiers of the "National Hand Battle" of Chinese Go, Ma Xiaofei was defeated by his disciple Luo Shenzhu and stopped in the top 8......"

Hearing Team Leader Hua's muttering, Nie Whirlwind echoed:

"Yes, yes, this Ma Xiao doesn't know what's going on now, I watched his 3 games of chess in this national competition. The first two sets were lucky, and it was lucky to be eliminated until the third set. The state is really sluggish. If he doesn't adjust in time, I'm afraid the next ...... Gee. ”

Nie Whirlwind shook his head there, and he stopped himself in the middle of his words, but the people in this box actually understood what he meant.

Immediately after the end of the "Yingshi Cup" is the semi-finals of the "Fujitsu Cup", in which the Chinese team only Ma Xiaofei entered the top 4 alone. In the long run, among the five major events this year, in addition to the "Toyo Securities Cup" that has ended. The other four competitions are already in the final stages. In addition to Li Xiaoqiang, only Ma Xiaofei of the Chinese team is still alive in the two competitions.

It can be said that what kind of results Chinese Go can achieve this year can only depend on the next performance of Li Xiaoqiang and Ma Xiaofei. But everyone saw that Ma Xiaofei's state was so sluggish, looking at Nie Whirlwind's meaning, he was obviously worried about whether Ma Xiaofei could adjust his state in time, so naturally, now it seems that he can only look at Li Xiaoqiang. Everyone will expect more from Li Xiaoqiang.

Of course, everyone is looking forward to it. But no one will find out. Because mentioning this matter at this juncture is suspected of increasing pressure on Li Xiaoqiang. Therefore, after Nie Whirlwind's words were halfway through, he stopped in time.

Seeing that everyone didn't know what to say at this time, reporter Zhang Da decided to change the topic to a more relaxed one. I saw him smile and say to Team Leader Hua:

"Team Leader Hua, I heard that you are the keynote speaker again for this TV station's listing explanation. Then you should prepare well for class this time. When talking about chess, you must also cheer up, and don't be ugly by Xiaoqiang. ”

After hearing this, everyone laughed, and Li Xiaoqiang also laughed. Team Leader Hua is now recognized as a "famous mouth" in the Go world. And through his own publicity, "Li Xiaoqiang's chess is the most difficult to speak" has been known by more and more chess fans.

The interesting thing is that many chess fans still like to watch him talk about Li Xiaoqiang's chess. Especially not so long ago. Reporter Zhang Da's newspaper received a letter from a chess fan, and after this letter was published in the newspaper, it aroused everyone's talk, and this letter from a chess fan was written like this:

“…… Many people say that Li Xiaoqiang's chess is obscure, but I don't think so. When I watched Li Xiaoqiang's game, especially when I watched Team Leader Hua talk about his chess, it was easy for me to judge the situation every time. Of course, I'm not a master, I only have an amateur 2-dan level. But I'm not bragging, let me tell you my trick of judging the situation: every time I watch Team Leader Hua explain Li Xiaoqiang's chess, I will bring a record book to record the number of times Team Leader Hua has "stuck". This approach has proven to work. Because I found out through a lot of statistics: every time the Chinese team is "stuck" more times, then Li Xiaoqiang has a greater hope of winning. Whenever Team Leader Hua looks stupid, then Li Xiaoqiang has the chance to win. If you see Team Leader Hua showing his ugliness on TV, then you can completely relax and watch chess. Because at this time, Li Xiaoqiang must have victory in sight......"

The feeling of hanging the board explanation and playing chess by yourself is different, what are you most afraid of when you hang the board to explain? One is to be afraid of the "whimsy" of the gamer, so the explainer is easy to keep up with the player's thinking, so the explainer is prone to stuck. Second, they are naturally afraid of the depth calculations of chess players, because it is difficult for most commentators to perform complex calculations due to the focus under fluorescent lights.

And these two aspects happen to be Li Xiaoqiang's strengths. In many of his previous games, he relied on these two magic weapons to win. So from this point of view, this amateur 2-dan chess fan still makes a lot of sense.

"Team Leader Hua, isn't this law so godly?" Reporter Zhang Da joked with Team Leader Hua.

Team Leader Hua first put on a sad face, and then made a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance:

"Why do you say that your newspaper is so lacking in morality, and even such things are published on it. I don't have that power, otherwise I'd have closed your newspaper. But this time, I'm ready to go out for the sake of victory. If my fool can make Xiao Qiang win, then what does it matter. Isn't it, Xiaoqiang? …… Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang. What are you doing in a daze? ”

Li Xiaoqiang came back to his senses from his own world, and he said to Team Leader Hua in a half-joking and half-serious tone:

"I'm really sorry for Mr. Hua before. But this time, I've decided to change my ways. I sincerely hope that Mr. Hua will get stuck as few times as possible when teaching chess. ”

"Huh?!"

"I mean, this time it might be different, and if Mr. Hua is more fluent, the more likely I am to win."

Wait until everyone arrives in Shencheng. After getting off the train, Team Leader Hua quietly pulled Nie Whirlwind:

"Old Nie, Xiaoqiang, this kid won't have any problems, right? What did he mean by that on the train? ”

Nie Whirlwind laughed: "It seems that after Mr. Wu's nudge, Xiaoqiang has indeed realized something in the past few days." ”

Team Leader Hua looked ignorant: "Enlightenment? What do you understand? ”

Nie Whirlwind refused to explain more: "Well, when the time comes, you can also understand it yourself." ”

In mid-June 1997, the final of the 3rd "Ying's Cup" was held in Shencheng. On the second day after Li Xiaoqiang arrived in Shencheng, the South Korean delegation arrived in China. is the same as the previous two games, this time Liu Changhe is still accompanied by Cao Yanzi and Li Shifo. Unlike a week ago, the South Korean delegation is much larger. There are more reporters accompanying the tour.

In addition to the reporters sent by the South Korean media, many Japanese reporters and Taipei reporters even appeared in Shencheng this time.

On the second day after the South Korean delegation resisted China, the "Battle of Cheonwang Mountain" officially began. It was undoubtedly a very crucial game. And relatively speaking, Li Xiaoqiang, who had just lost the second game and was black in this game, was under more pressure.

However, before entering the game room, Li Xiaoqiang seemed very relaxed. At this time, he was even thinking about the chess of the Chinese team, and he joked with Zhang Da, a reporter who accompanied him to the arena:

"When the team leader talks about chess, you tell him a word, tell him not to be nervous about chess today. Believe me. Today was definitely a lighthearted game, and the more relaxed he said. The more likely I am to win. ”

At this time, reporter Zhang Da was not in the mood to joke with Li Xiaoqiang, he stopped and said to Li Xiaoqiang seriously:

"Xiaoqiang, what do you mean."

Li Xiaoqiang smiled mysteriously: "Look at it then, you will know it if you see it." ”

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang turned around and walked into the game room.

What does Li Xiaoqiang mean by this? Reporter Zhang really didn't understand it for a while. But wait until the game officially starts. Especially when Team Leader Hua officially began to talk about chess, reporter Zhang Da gradually understood what Li Xiaoqiang meant.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Team Leader Hua appeared on the podium with a smile on his face, and this time he was partnered with a local female chess player in Shencheng.

“…… Good afternoon, everyone, let me explain this game of chess to you. The match in this set was played by our Lee Xiaoqiang against South Korea's Yoo Chang-hyuk. This is the third game of the final five-way chess. In the first two innings when the two sides played 1-1. I don't think I need to say more about the importance of this game. Okay, now without further ado, let's get into the game together......"

“…… According to common sense, it is generally believed that the side holding black needs to be positive. However, it may be because this game is too important. Both sides played very cautiously. Note that it is not Li Xiaoqiang who is cautious alone, but both sides are very cautious. Therefore, at the beginning of this game, both sides chose some very common moves, and a very common pattern appeared in the four corners of the board. Now I'm going to show you what changes are made in these formulas......"

Since they are all common formulas, people like Hua Ling, who often talk about chess, are of course very handy. After a short period of time, Team Leader Hua seemed to be active, he began to talk endlessly, and he began to make witty remarks. And not to mention, his explanation today seems to be really smooth.

“…… You should think it's a little strange to see such a start, right? These two are obviously militants, how could they choose such a simple start. It's right that everyone can think like this, the two of them can't play chess like this forever. Let's take a look at the next step...... Seeing this move of white chess, it can only be said that Liu Changhe is the number one attacker in the world, and there is no doubt that this is a strong move. So what does this move mean? Let's take a look at what this move means......"

In the gushing of the Hua leader, this crucial game continued step by step. (To be continued.) )
