April '89. Li Xiaoqiang returned to his hometown.

In this month, the world chess world was supposed to be very lively. The 2nd Fujitsu Cup Professional Go Championship opened earlier this month as scheduled. Another highlight, the high-profile first "Ying's Cup" five-way chess final, also began this month. But it's a pity that all this has nothing to do with Li Xiaoqiang, so he had to return to his hometown in disgrace.

In the past few months, Li Xiaoqiang was still a busy man in the Go world. In the major Go media, it also swiped its sense of existence. Especially when he just won the title of "celebrity", this "sense of presence" reached a peak. It's a pity that after that, it seems that everything is back to normal. Li Xiaoqiang's losses gradually increased.

In the 3rd China "Tiantian Competition", Li Xiaoqiang was able to enter the final "challenger battle". This result is not bad, some people feel sorry for Li Xiaoqiang, but also feel that it is normal for him to lose to Qian Yuping.

In the later "Fujitsu Cup" selection competition, when the Chinese Chess Association announced the list of participants, Li Xiaoqiang was no longer visible. In this selection competition, Li Xiaoqiang finally ranked 4th, and unfortunately missed the opportunity to participate in the World Series.

To say that in this selection competition, Li Xiaoqiang's performance is quite good. At least he didn't let his opponents take advantage of his hedging with several members of the national team. He and Qian Yuping became 1 to 1, and Liu Da Hammer became 1 to 1, and in the game with the "children's leader" Yu Bin, he killed the opponent 2-0. directly cut off the opponent's hope of qualifying.

However, what made Li Xiaoqiang depressed was that he was also "double-killed" by others in this selection competition. This person is the local chess player Liang Weitang 7th Duan. Liang Qiduan was qualified to participate in the selection competition as the sixth place in the national individual competition in the previous year. In other words, it is already very thrilling for him to be able to obtain this selection qualification. Just caught the last train on the last train. Didn't think he'd be in this tryout. But it did exceptionally well.

He not only "double-killed" Li Xiaoqiang, but also finished second in the selection competition. Qualified for the 2nd Fujitsu Cup.

Losing this selection competition, Li Xiaoqiang will be depressed, and he will not be particularly sad in his heart. Because he knows it in his heart. According to his current real level, in such a competition system, he does not have an absolute certainty of qualifying. The loss to Liang Qidan in the game is a good example. When people show great competitive form. When people attach great importance to Li Xiaoqiang. And Li Xiaoqiang focused on the national team's favorites to qualify. Li Xiaoqiang really doesn't have much to do with others.

Li Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that this was mainly a reflection of his lack of skills. If you want to talk about such a thing as "skill", although it can't be seen or touched, it really exists in Go. Especially in this double round-robin format, absolute skill is needed as support. Objectively evaluate the current Li Xiaoqiang. It can be said that it is possible for him to win anyone, but he is not absolutely sure of anyone.

Li Xiaoqiang believes that he is in such a stage. Therefore, there is nothing to be sad about losing. If you want to stop being depressed in the future, then lay a solid foundation for yourself and try to improve your skills is the king.

When Li Xiaoqiang finished this selection competition in the capital, the time also came to April. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang has no professional games to play for the time being. Therefore, he decided to leave the capital again.

This time he decided to go home, and the management happily agreed. Of course, this time it wasn't for other reasons. To know. It's already April '89, and the capital is already in chaos. It may be that many normal routines of life are disturbed. Not to mention that you need to calm down to play a good game of Go. Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang proposed to go home, and the Go team happily let him go.

In his previous life, because Li Xiaoqiang was still young. Besides, he just stayed in a small and rather closed county. Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang actually doesn't know much about such a thing. Well, in official language, he is a "mass who does not know the truth". Of course. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang is still willing to be a "mass who does not know the truth".

In later generations, there was a lot of commentary about this event. Varied. There are all kinds of them. I don't know which one is true. Whether it is an official statement or a folk statement, it is estimated that it may not be completely true.

In such an event, there are those who have vested interests, and there are those who have failed and fallen. There are simple and kind people, and of course there are speculators with bad intentions. In addition, there are some relatively innocent people who lie down on the gun. After this event, it changed a lot in many people's lives. Li Xiaoqiang can't tell the right from the wrong, and he has no intention of distinguishing it. If you really want to talk about it, Li Xiaoqiang also has a little sympathy for that part of the "lying guns". That's all.

In China, there has always been a saying that the first-class elites and first-class smart people in China are crowded into the system. And the second class of smart people only stay in the business world or whatever. Li Xiaoqiang sometimes analyzes such a sentence, and he thinks that there should be a little bit of truth.

Let's talk about Li Xiaoqiang himself, as a reborn, let's say he is mixed in the business world. He believes that according to his "ingenuity", it is absolutely easy to achieve certain achievements. The so-called half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman. According to Li Xiaoqiang's advantage of "foresight", if you let him "take half a step ahead" in this field, it should not be difficult to do.

But what about mixing in the system? Let's take it as an example, my own family members are also mixed in the system. But Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help at all. Li Xiaoqiang even thinks that he can't even put forward a few "constructive suggestions". Of course, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't think he is so incompetent. It's just that Li Xiaoqiang should also have a little understanding of the laws of the operation of this system.

For example, in the business world, if you can do the right "half a step ahead", then you are definitely an elite and a genius. But what about mixing in the system? You can't be so naïve. In the system, even if you only want to be "half a step ahead", then your chances of being regarded as a "madman" are definitely much greater than those of being considered a "genius".

Because the operation of this system is actually much more complicated than other systems. Li Xiaoqiang believes that it is even more complicated than Go. If you want to be "half a step ahead" in the system, you need a very complex comprehensive strength as support. There is no such thing as comprehensive strength. There are some tricks that can't be used lightly.

It's like a lot of Go masters playing chess. Take Mr. Wu Qingyuan as an example. Many of his moves have been evaluated by many people as "a bit thin", how "thin" is his chess? It's all "thin" to the point where it feels a little "unreasonable". But others still can't do anything about him. The same is true of Li Shifo's chess. His chess is characterized by "perseverance", "perseverance" to the point of "obscenity". "Perseverance" is so bad that people feel that they are too wronged like this, and ordinary people must not be able to stand this. But he is like that, and there are not many people who can bargain in his hands.

Do ordinary people dare to try that way they do? Suppose there is no support from their decision-making power and no guarantee from their comprehensive strength. No one can try their way around.

Is there a similar situation in the system?

Li Xiaoqiang ran back to his hometown to stay, in fact, this is the truth. Facing the big event that is about to come. He didn't want to gain anything from it, and he couldn't change anything. Of course, he also did not want to be an innocent "lying gunman". Therefore, he honestly ran back to the small county town to stay. Let's continue to be a "mass who don't know the truth".

After returning to his hometown, Li Xiaoqiang's life was much more leisurely. In addition to playing music, he studied Go by himself. No one cared about him at all. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang is now a freshman in high school. He'll go to school anyway. In the face of a student like him, the school really doesn't know how to treat him.

You can think about it, Li Xiaoqiang is also a celebrity. There are also quite a few halos above the head. Originally, when facing this kind of person, the school was already difficult to manage. Not to mention. Li Xiaoqiang has no pressure to go to school at all. In such an era, when the school is faced with a student who has no pressure to go on to higher education, everyone really doesn't know how to get along.

To say that at Li Xiaoqiang's age, there are still people who can "discipline" him. For example, his parents and others. But at this time. Even his mother, Hu Ping, and Teacher Hu, didn't have time to discipline Li Xiaoqiang. This is because, just this year, my brother Li Xiaogang is already in his third year of high school. In a few months, he will soon take the college entrance examination.

In Mr. Hu's mind, this is of course the top priority in the family. is at the forefront of all her work. As for the "Li Xiao Celebrity" of Chinese Go, she naturally does not have much time to "discipline". It is because of these reasons that Li Xiaoqiang has temporarily enjoyed his life.

In April, Li Xiaoqiang's focus was, of course, the final of the first "Yingshi Cup". Fortunately, there is still a live TV broadcast in this game, so that Li Xiaoqiang can understand the situation in time. After the first three sets, the result was the same as in the previous life, and Nie Whirlwind temporarily led 2-1. But the whole process of the game seems to be different from what he remembers. This also made Li Xiaoqiang more interested.

In normal history, Nie Whirlwind's first game did not play at a normal level. In the words of Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the chief referee: "In the first game of chess, Mr. Nie had a rare panic ......" and lost the game. As for the second game of chess, it was Cao Yanzi's turn to not play normally, allowing Nie Whirlwind to win by 9 points. In the third game, it was Nie Whirlwind's performance alone, and he played a "famous game". Thus taking a 2-1 lead.

But what Li Xiaoqiang sees now is that the result of 2 to 1 is the same, and the process is a little different. In the first game, both of them played their own characteristics, and in the end, Nie Whirlwind was superior and won the game with difficulty. In the second game, Nie Whirlwind also gained an early advantage, and an inexplicable spoon appeared at the end. This leads to the loss of the game. Let Cao Yanzi make it 1-1. In the third game, it was Nie Whirlwind who played a good game and made no mistakes, which allowed him to take the lead in the big score.

To be honest, in the face of such a result, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't know what it's like. In short, he has no bottom at all now, and his heart is full of things. Because he didn't know if his little butterfly would affect the final result of this competition. Judging from the content of the chess game, Li Xiaoqiang can still see that with his own "Cao Yanzi album", Nie Whirlwind seems to be more familiar with Cao Yanzi's chess path. He should have prepared accordingly. But his elusive "faint" is still with him.

Li Xiaoqiang knew that Nie Whirlwind's "faintness" was mainly due to his physical reasons. In the final analysis, there are many factors that belong to the outside of the chessboard. But the reason for his body is still the reason of his life, the reason of his family. For this thing, Li Xiaoqiang can't do anything about it. So from this point of view, what is the final outcome of the first "Ying's Cup" final? Whether Nie Whirlwind can change the history of the past, even Li Xiaoqiang can't figure it out now.

"Hey, in this matter, I am also a crowd who don't know the truth......" (To be continued......
