Chapter 415: A lifelong rival
"How do you describe the characteristics of Yamanbe's chess style? It's like being "beaten" by someone, out of 100 professional chess players, there may be 99 chess players who don't want to think about it, and will immediately choose to "stick to it". But Mr. Yamabe is not like this, he must have thought and thought about it there, racking his brains to choose not to stick to the change. Indeed, out of 10 games, there may be one or two games in which he chooses a transformation that is really beautiful, which is impressive, and I deeply admire his talent, which also brings him great fame. However, it must be admitted that in Go, when faced with someone else's "beating", your best response may still be honest. Well, that's probably why Mr. Yamabe couldn't get good results. Everyone said yes, right? ”
"Hahahaha."
Li Xiaoqiang was running the train with his mouth full, and Ma Xiaofei and Liu Dazhui were amused by Li Xiaoqiang's words. But then again, Li Xiaoqiang's words may really be to the point. For a chess player like Toshiro Yamabe, their pursuit on the chessboard is naturally deeply admired. However, it is too much, some of his methods are purely for the sake of transformation, and "change" for the sake of "change". It's a bit of a madness. This is also the reason why his results are never as good as Fujisawa Hideyuki.
Overall, Go is still a relatively balanced game. What is the highest level of Go? As Mr. Wu Qingyuan said, it is "harmony" and "neutrality". Mr. Yamabe's chess is too "biased" and he doesn't know what balance is, so his record is not satisfactory.
After discussing the issue of Toshiro Yamabe, the topic quickly moved on to another "art master", Mr. Takeo Hirohara, known as "Stone Heart".
Strictly speaking, when it comes to fame in the Go world, this old gentleman is even more famous, and he has received more praise than Toshiro Yamabe.
"Speaking of the current chess world, Mr. Wu Qingyuan, Mr. Mu Tani. Mr. Utaro Hashimoto and Mr. Eio Sakata of Kansai are recognized as strong men. In this way, I should be ranked 5th...... Oh yes, and Mr. Ohara, his talent is also outstanding, I don't think so. In this way, I put myself in 6th place, which I think should be appropriate......"
Who is saying this? It's Fujisawa Hideyuki, an old god stick. If you want to talk about the top 4, their strength and achievements are there, and it is understandable for Fujisawa to say this. But who is this Mr. Wahara, who can be so admired by Fujisawa Hideyuki?
It's not just Hideyuki Fujisawa. Mr. Wu Qingyuan's evaluation of Takeo Kuhara is also very high, "Kuhara is a real chess master ......", such an evaluation is from Mr. Wu's mouth.
In addition to the above two, there is even more unusual, the current reigning Japanese chess saint Kobayashi Koji also praised Takeo Kohara: "Occasionally, when I am tired, I like to flip through Mr. Kohara's chess games or books, which is really a beautiful enjoyment." Mr. Gohara's chess sense is amazing, and it makes people feel good both physically and mentally, and at the same time, his chess skills can be improved......"
Needless to say. A chess player can be praised by such three top chess players of different ages and styles, which shows that Takeo Ahara does have his own merits.
Then the problem now arises. This is a chess player who has never won any championships in his career. This degree of tragedy can be compared to Hiroshi Yamashiro. Of course, his nickname seems to be a little more popular than the mountain city. In Japan, Mr. Ohara is known as the "uncrowned emperor".
"It is said that when Mr. Ohara was playing, he was able to play almost every game of chess. Note. It's the kind of newbie who can stand up to scrutiny! That's why he's so much admired by everyone. It is said that at the very beginning, the hat of "invincible in the world in the first fifty hands" originally fell on his head. But I wondered, why did he have to rack his brain to think about the newbies during the game? Couldn't he have done some research beforehand? Therefore, I think it is a good thing that he has a pursuit of Go, but his pursuit method is inevitably too deliberate, everyone says that is not the case? ”
In Takeo Hara's career, he has indeed reached several finals. But the way he lost was basically because of time panic and collapsed in the second half of the game, resulting in the advantage of the chess could not be won. This is the tragedy of Takeo Hirohara. In the eyes of Li Xiaoqiang, Ma Xiaofei and others, such a tragedy is obviously undesirable.
You must know that in Takeo Hara's time, the game time was super long, and the time was 9 hours and 11 hours per side. Even so, Takeo will not have enough time, so no matter how good his Go talent is, he is a bit of putting the cart before the horse, and his basic skills will definitely not be much better. Li Xiaoqiang even thought that if this was placed now or in the future, chess players like Mr. Yuan would not know how to mix.
"Okay, okay, as long as you're good, as long as you make sense." "No, let's wait for you, the second generation, to make a name for this......"
On a topic like this, everyone naturally talks about it easily, and no one who laughs or laughs will not take it seriously. Everyone was joking and making fun of Li Xiaojiao. At this time, reporter Zhang Da suddenly smiled at everyone, and he raised the "Chess" magazine in his hand:
"You don't know, there is another big news in this magazine, there are people in Japan crying and shouting that they want to marry us Xiaoqiang......"
Oh? And such a thing? This is real gossip.
"Where, where ......"
Naturally, Ma Xiaofei and Liu Dazhui are not exempt from vulgarity. That magazine was rushed by everyone to read it again.
"Here, let's take a look at this interview."
Reporter Zhang Da turned a few pages and smiled at Li Xiaoqiang with a very unbeaten expression. Li Xiaoqiang had the heart to take the magazine, but after all, it was his own gossip, and he couldn't read Japanese characters, so he was embarrassed to stretch out his hand. However, Li Xiaoqiang noticed that this was an interview with Yukari Umezawa, and the magazine published a large photo of Yukari Umezawa, in which Yukari Umezawa was smiling like a flower.
"Tsk, it turns out that your apprentice is currently in the limelight. After entering the stage, the results were quite good, and last month, I almost entered the "Ten Dan Battle" in this competition, but unfortunately fell short in the final qualifiers. Last month, it was even more remarkable, and she won the right to challenge the "Female Stream Honinfang", creating a record in the Japanese women's chess world, haha, no wonder she wants to marry our Xiaoqiang......"
From everyone's words and words, Li Xiaoqiang listened to a rough idea. It turned out that Yukari Umezawa performed quite well after entering the stage. It was probably the second sub-game win against Zhao Zhixun, and Umezawa's confidence was greatly strengthened. In addition, the competitiveness of the Japanese women's chess world is too weak, and in just half a year, she won the right to the final of a women's competition. This interview in the magazine came from this.
"If you are interviewed, you will be interviewed, what does it matter to me?"
"Why not? Everyone has published their own mate selection criteria in magazines, and everyone has come to listen to it, this is completely tailor-made for us Xiaoqiang......"
It turns out that interviews like this, like those standard routines in later generations, will ask some more personal gossip questions, such as blood type, hobbies, or whatever. It's almost 20 now, and it's normal to be asked about mate selection criteria and the like.
"Let's listen to it, this is the first point: she prefers to look for it in the circle, so that there is more common language, if there is no suitable one in the circle, she will consider it early outside the circle. Listen, let's all come and listen, this is clearly to tell everyone that those who play Go have priority......"
Talking about this kind of gossip, reporter Zhang Da is naturally the most energetic. I saw him hold the magazine high and read the contents to Li Xiaoqiang.
"Rule 2: I don't mind if the other person is younger than me. Xiaoqiang, I remember that you are a little younger than the age of others, right? Everyone thinks, let's analyze and analyze, if you want to say that this age is a little older, what's the big deal? In such a talk show, why did she deliberately list this one? The only reason is that she doesn't mean anything to us Xiaoqiang......"
“…… What the? Xiaoqiang: You say this doesn't mean anything? Well, let's look at Article 3 again, and they also specifically explain that as long as you are strong in chess, it doesn't matter if you are foreigners...... Let's look at the criteria for strong chess strength...... Tsk, it's too much, it's too much! In her mind, what is the standard of strong chess ability? actually said that it could not be lower than her master's level. Who is her master? That's Masao Kato. She's a little too ruthless. There is such a clause, which clearly tells everyone that except for Xiaoqiang, no one else should be counted on, right? It's not like crying and shouting and wanting to marry our Xiaoqiang. ”
"Hahahaha."
Li Xiaoqiang quietly listened to Zhang Da's reporter ridiculing himself, and he didn't approve or refute it. Because Li Xiaoqiang knows that as long as his reaction is a little more intense, then Zhang Da reporters will only be more energetic. How do you say it in the words of the Internet of the Afterlife? "If you want to be serious, you'll lose."
Yukari Umezawa has a good impression of herself, although Li Xiaoqiang has always been slow to feel in this regard. But he wasn't entirely unaware. It's just that Li Xiaoqiang has always been an ordinary person in nature, if he is really liked by others, he must have a complacent mentality. If he is allowed to have a vigorous transnational relationship, Li Xiaoqiang will definitely not have that ability. Besides, there is currently a Lin Mengyu on a certain university campus.
"Hey, let me warn you, even by this standard, it seems like I'm not the only one, right? Let's not forget, there is another one in South Korea. If you follow this standard, the Korean one is also fully qualified. ”
"Hahahaha."
Hearing Li Xiaoqiang's pale defense, Ma Xiaofei and the others laughed louder:
"Yes, yes, there is another one in South Korea, the two of you, and then you will be the rival of love for life......" (to be continued......)
