Chapter 358: The Duel of Fate
“…… Half-eye! I don't think it's the half-eye that Li Shifo was lucky for, and it's not the half-eye that Mr. Cho Ji-hoon lost without luck. Probably from some point after the mid-game...... Right! Maybe it's the 2 moves that we just thought were a little weird. In hindsight, those 2 moves were really good. It may be that from that time on, this half-eye has already been determined. From the later process, we can see very clearly: Mr. Zhao Zhixun clearly struggled in Li Shifo's half-eyed net, but unfortunately, he finally gave in......"
This is a small hanging plate explanation hall inside the Chinese Chess Academy. At present, it is Li Xiaoqiang who is currently on the list to explain. Looking at him like that, he seems to be making a "summary statement" on the final tiebreaker of the "Battle of Zhao and Li".
When Li Xiaoqiang defeated Mr. Masao Kato with a score of 2-0. In fact, there was nothing Chinese doing in this last game in the capital. However, after all, this is the first time that the Chinese Chess Academy has hosted the World Series since its opening. And the game was of a very high standard, a semi-final in the World Series. There are also highlights of this game. Therefore, it still attracts a lot of attention.
However, for many Chinese chess fans, everyone treats this game with the mentality of "watching the excitement". Especially when Li Xiaoqiang broke into the final again.
Is it a repeat of the "Fujitsu Cup" final, and Mr. Zhao Zhixun gets the opportunity to take revenge on Li Xiaoqiang? Or is it a "youth storm" staged in the world chess world......"
Headlines like these are crammed into the country's major news outlets.
Maybe it's because of this relaxed state of mind. I don't know who came up with the bad idea, Li Xiaoqiang estimated: Team Leader Hua is the most suspicious. He suggested that Li Xiaoqiang explain the match between Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo. Anyway, among these two people, there must be one who can become Li Xiaoqiang's opponent in the final. Then let Li Xiaoqiang explain the opponent's game in advance. That should be a lot of fun.
When everyone heard it, they thought it was a good idea, and it was fun. Therefore, it was under such circumstances that Li Xiaoqiang stepped onto this commentary platform.
Of course, this is a competition between foreigners after all, so the Chinese Chess Academy did not make a big fanfare. A relatively small room was also chosen for the listing explanation. Although there are chess fans who come to the Chinese Chess Academy to listen to Li Xiaoqiang's explanation, there are not many of them. Most of them are very senior chess fans. In contrast, there are many people in the Go circle.
What's even more interesting. It was in the process of Li Xiaoqiang's chess. There are quite a few Japanese and Korean TV reporters shuttling back and forth. It turns out that for the Go circles of Japan and South Korea, they attach great importance to this game. They will all have a live TV broadcast of the match. For example, in Japan now, Yoshio Ishida Kudan explains this game on TV. When he explains, he can often relay Li Xiaoqiang's opinions. For example, when he was explaining. He might say something like:
"My judgment on the current situation is this...... But according to the news from the scene of the game: China's Li Sang judged differently, he put on a different move, and how his judgment was ......"
At more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the game between Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo was finally over. In this way, Li Xiaoqiang's explanation work is finally coming to an end.
"After listening to your explanation, although my heart has been prepared for a long time. But to be honest, when it was really confirmed that Mr. Cho Ji-hoon had lost this match, I still had a feeling of unreality. It's only been a long time! It wasn't that long ago. Mr. Zhao is also a high-ranking existence in my mind. How come it is that in less than half a year, the two of you have defeated him separately. I have a feeling that my idol has been shot down. Xiaoqiang, I really want to ask you: What are Li Shifo's technical characteristics? Or rather. Where is he so powerful? ”
It was Zhang Xuan of the national team who said this. She is also Li Xiaoqiang's current chess partner. In real history, it seems that the current Zhang Xuan should have studied in Japan. But I don't know why in this life, Zhang Xuan didn't do it, she still stayed in China.
Due to the relationship between age and rank, Li Xiaoqiang originally needed to call others "Teacher Zhang". However, considering that she is the future Mrs. Chang. Then Li Xiaoqiang's "teacher" can't be called anyway. Not only that, but in fact, when Chang Rensheng saw Zhang Xuan now. will also respectfully call "Teacher Zhang". Whenever Li Xiaoqiang saw this situation, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoqiang is not afraid of being said that he is rude. Truly. It's like a hanging board explanation of this game. That must be Li Xiaoqiang's role as the "main speaker". As for Mrs. Chang in the future, she will naturally put herself in the position of "praise".
"His chess ...... I'm sorry, but I can't really tell you about his chess now, and I can't figure out the secrets of his Go. Let me tell you how I feel, everyone knows that Li Shifo's strongest is his official. His official seems to be able to enlarge the chessboard that becomes smaller after the middle game, or rather, he adds a decimal point of precision to the balance of Go. His kind of play is likely to bring the balanced game of Go to a limit......"
"Oh, you seem to think highly of him! Listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that his method of doing this can reach the height of the founding of the sect. He, is he really that good? ”
"Yes, I have always had a feeling that Li Shifo's greatest strength may be his more scientific official. The premise of using this method is to judge the situation more accurately. Before that, it was rare to think about Go as much as he did. Therefore, from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the founder of the sect. ”
This is in front of a large public, surrounded by a lot of Go professionals. This is also the first time that Li Xiaoqiang has publicly stated his understanding of Li Shifo's Go. However, it is a pity that not many people may be able to listen to Li Xiaoqiang's words.
Yes, because Li Xiaoqiang is talking about Go. It is a game of Go with thousands of years of Taoism, and it is the oldest and most splendid Go in the world! Go exudes an air of ideals and philosophy. Able to confuse most people's eyes. The unsentimentality that can overwhelm reality. It's hard to believe what a 16-year-old boy said.
Although the teenager already has a World Champion. There are even many who believe that he will most likely be able to have a second of his own soon. However, there are still many people who can't believe what he said.
"Huh. How do I feel Xiaoqiang, you are fighting psychological warfare now? You pulled Li Shifo so high, and you put on a look of knowing him very well. If your words reach the ears of others. Aren't you putting psychological pressure on others? Do you think so? ”
"Hahahaha, our Xiaoqiang is really not a wizard on the chessboard. Look, look, isn't this the final yet to start, and our Xiaoqiang will release a big move in advance......"
"That's it, our Xiaoqiang, that's cunning and cunning......"
After hearing Zhang Xuan say that. The atmosphere of the scene became lively. The hall erupted in cheerful laughter. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang also smiled embarrassedly. Because he suddenly found out. It seems that I am talking in the wrong place.
What is this place? This is your home turf! There are so many chess fans who come to listen to their explanations, are they coming for Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo? No, they're coming for themselves! In the minds of these Chinese chess fans, it doesn't matter who wins today. It doesn't matter how good the opponent is. He is just Li Xiaoqiang's opponent. It's just an opponent of Chinese chess players!
"Xiaoqiang, I'll see this for today's listing explanation. On behalf of the chess fans, I would like to thank you for your wonderful commentary. So I'm going to ask you one last question: you see that your opponent in the final has also been decided. I think you should face the majority of chess fans and look forward to the final for yourself......"
It must be admitted that people who play Go are very smart. For example, the current Zhang Xuan, she can control the atmosphere of the scene very well. Then ask the questions that chess fans want to hear the most. On such an occasion, Li Xiaoqiang will definitely not disappoint everyone. At this time, I saw him smile and say to the chess fan:
“…… As I said earlier, Li Shifo is very strong, and I am not sure that I will win him. I admit it too. As many people think, the competition between me and Li Shifo should be quite a long process. Then for the first collision of the two of us. I will definitely give it my all......"
"No, no, Xiaoqiang, you have learned to say these polite words now, we want to hear some dry goods......"
In the face of the dissatisfaction expressed by the chess fans at the scene, Li Xiaoqiang continued:
"Okay, then I'll be honest with you now. As you know, I have a good relationship with Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa. His old husband looked up to me very much from a very early age. Then in order to repay him, I will not let his prophecy come to fruition......"
"Hahahaha......"
After hearing Li Xiaoqiang's answer. The chess fans laughed again. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, in today's scene, although most of the people who came to the game today are veteran chess fans. But there are also one or two rookie chess fans who have mixed in.
"What prophecy did Mr. Fujisawa say......
When this question was not finished, it was naturally met with the eyes and contempt of the surrounding chess fans:
"You stupid, of course, that's the "famous saying" that Mr. Xiuxing said a few years ago: Li Xiaoqiang is the first, Li Shifo is the second......"
This is the end of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup" in the China Chess Academy. Regardless of whether the final result is unexpected or not. It doesn't matter how much "unreality" everyone has. The two 16-year-olds have finally come out of the encirclement, and the situation has finally emerged for them to compete for the professional Go world championship.
Especially in this "Toyo Securities Cup", when almost all the top contemporary masters are dispatched, the standout of Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo is even more speechless. Next, of course, is to watch the performance of the two of them.
"Xiaoqiang, what do you think of the title of my article this time?"
On the second day after the game, Zhang Da reporter rushed to find Li Xiaoqiang. Li Xiaoqiang took it and took a look:
"The world chess world is about to stage a youth storm......"
To say that when Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo meet in the finals. Not to mention the Chinese and South Korean media. Even the Japanese Go media can only use headlines like this.
"I said reporter Zhang Da, although your title this time is also decent. But if you want me to see, your title is too commonplace. I suggest you'd better get another one."
"Why? I think this title is good, why don't you pick up a ...... yourself?"
Why? To say that Li Shifo is now "youth". As for Li Xiaoqiang, he is a middle-aged uncle psychologically. So when he sees this kind of title, it's always a little awkward. Of course, he will definitely not say this to reporter Zhang Da:
"Well, even if you use a title like "Wizard Fighting Stone Buddha". Anyway, don't mention any youth storm......"
"No, no, no, what "Wizard Fighting Stone Buddha" is too vulgar. This does not reflect the level of my Zhang Da reporter...... By the way, I suddenly thought of one now, how about using the "battle of fate"? ”
"A battle of fate!"
After hearing reporter Zhang Da's words, Li Xiaoqiang was suddenly stunned. At this moment, he suddenly remembered many things from his previous life.
"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Ahem, it's nothing, haha you're so talented, it seems that you're growing up now. He and I may really meet fatefully......" (To be continued) i580
