Chapter 397: Take it lightly

"I am currently active in the world chess arena, and among the older generation of chess players, in terms of chess talent alone, I think it is still my junior brother Cao Yan, who has the highest talent. Under him, it should be Dazhu, a good apprentice brought by Mr. Muya, and then it will be Haifeng's turn...... By the way, there is also a Nie Whirlwind in the middle. It's strange that no one talks about Nie Jun's talent, in fact, he is also a rare genius......"

“…… It's even more amazing when it comes to the younger generation, I thought that it would be amazing enough to be able to produce characters like Zhao Zhixun and Ma Xiaofei, and they are also extremely talented. I didn't expect there to be characters like Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo. Well, I really don't know how high they will push Go to...... It's a good time for the Go world to catch up now, not to mention the talents, and there are so many international competitions, everyone has the opportunity to communicate...... By the way, there is Xiaoqiang's opponent today, this young man's chess is also quite aura, his chess also has his own things, very distinctive, this is also a character that should not be underestimated. Let's see what he and Xiaoqiang can do today......"

The second round of the 2nd "Ying's Cup" has begun, and in the competition hall, 16 chess players are fighting against each other. And indoors, many chess players and reporters gathered around an old man, listening to the old man pointing and agitating.

This old man is Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the judge of the "Ying's Cup".

Since agreeing to Mr. Ying Lao √ to serve as the judge of this "Ying Cup". Despite his advanced age, Mr. Wu Qingyuan has never pulled down any "Ying's Cup" competition.

Today's Mr. Wu is now very interested, and he has made a rare comment on his junior chess players. And his words also made the reporters around him very excited. You know, Wu Qingyuan is not like the old god stick of Fujisawa Hideyuki. The old god stick likes to judge the junior chess players the most. As for Mr. Wu Qingyuan, he often prefers to say "chess" rather than "people".

For example, in the Go world, "Cao Yan is first." Ma Xiaofei second", and in recent years, "Li Xiaoqiang first, Li Shifo second" This famous statement from the mouth of Fujisawa Hideyuki has long been a household name. However, the evaluation from the mouth of Wu Qingyuan, such as his opinion that "Cao Yan is the first, Dazhu Hero is the second, and Lin Haifeng is the first", is not widely circulated, and not many people know about it in the Go world.

Today, Mr. Wu Qingyuan rarely opened his mouth to evaluate the juniors, which also made the reporters Zhang Da, Yamada reporters and South Korean Park reporters around him very excited. Time. They surrounded Mr. Wu Qingyuan and asked questions, wanting Mr. Wu to break more information. The first to speak was South Korea's Park reporter:

"Do you also think that Cao Guoshou is the first? It seems that Cao Guoshou's chess talent is recognized, and there should be no objection to this, right? ”

"Yes, the talent of my junior brother has long been known. He is 3 years older than Jixun, and it is very interesting to think about what happened back then, when Jihoon was snatched away by Mr. Kitani, and my junior brother was cut off by Mr. Segoshi. His experience was much more bumpy than Zhixun's. When he chose to return to China for development, many people felt sorry for him, thinking that the Go world would lose a top master. That doesn't seem to be the case at all now. A similar situation is the case with China's Nie Jun. Compared to Japan back then. The chess environment around them is not very good. But they still reached a very high level, which shows that if you want to become a top master, the surrounding environment is not the most important thing. Self-quality and hard work, this is the decisive factor. ”

There is a more interesting phenomenon in the Go world, similar to Bailey's crow's mouth, he holds whoever dies. There is also the embarrassment of Qiao in the NBA who helps the leader to point out who is declining, and it is rarely staged in the Go world. It's the opposite. Like Kensaku Sekoshi's predecessor Wu Qingyuan, who abducted and deceived the "rebirth of Xiuce" through the back door, Minoru Mutani led an old airport to welcome the six-year-old naughty boy Zhao Zhixun, which is a classic story of the masters who often have a discerning eye in the Go world.

Of course. There is no "crow's mouth" in the Go world, and the most famous may be the domestic Chen Chaoyue. In my impression, he has commented on several rookies in China, but what made him faceless, the rookies he used to be very optimistic about did not reach the high he expected.

But then again, based on these few things alone, it would be biased to say that Chen Chaoyue is a "crow's mouth". As long as you carefully analyze the players reviewed by Chen Chaoyue, you will find that these players are all from the underdeveloped regions of Go in China. You can put yourself in Chen Chaoyue's shoes, when he was the top management of Chinese Go at that time, when he arrived in an underdeveloped area of Go in China, he said some cheering words, in order to create a better environment for the local good seedlings, so he said some good things for these people. This is also understandable.

"Old Wu, you just mentioned that Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo are a generation of chess players, and they are likely to push Go to a new height? That's a great review, it's a high evaluation. Do you think that Xiaoqiang's talent is higher than Cao Yan's? ”

Reporter Park said Cao Yan, and reporter Zhang Da will naturally only focus on Li Xiaoqiang. After hearing reporter Zhang Da's question, Mr. Wu Qingyuan did not answer immediately, but saw him close his eyes and think for a while, and then replied in a very affirmative tone:

"Yes, I think it should be like this, Cao Yan and Dazhu Haifeng are geniuses, but they are just geniuses in the conventional sense. As for Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo, they are already alternative geniuses beyond the scope of common sense. Let's talk about Li Shifo, a genius like him is very rare. You can see that every move he plays seems to be very ordinary, if you want to score, each hand seems to only play 60 to 70 points, but he can score 90 points overall by combining these moves with his extremely precise way of moving. That's a very strange thing. It can be said that Li Shifo's talent is mainly reflected in his unique talent. It's a very rare talent, and I don't think anyone has ever thought in his way before, so I think he's a great guy and he's going to be a big guy in the future. ”

"What about Xiaoqiang?"

"Not to mention Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang has always been a step ahead of others in his cautious thinking, and I even think that this is the best treasure for him to win chess. In Go, there seems to be nothing he doesn't know. This is very strange. And one more strange thing: we all know that when playing Go. If you think about the problem more thoroughly, the more mediocre the moves that fall on the board, which should be a common phenomenon, and there are many thoughtful masters in the Go world. But Xiaoqiang is different, what surprises me most about Xiaoqiang is that his thinking is cautious, but he has a lot of hands and ideas. But it always shines to challenge mediocrity. This is very strange, as strange as Li Shifo. To be honest, this is what surprised me the most. ”

“…… Therefore, I want to say that it is a blessing for the Go world to have two geniuses with such different styles and such mavericks, and no matter how strong the player is, the opponent must be sharpened. What's even more rare is that both of them are still young, and both of them are still in their formative years. If they all grow smoothly, I can't imagine how high they will push Go to ......."

“…… In addition to these, forget it, everyone has noticed that Xiaoqiang actually has another advantage. How do you say that? Xiaoqiang seems to be born with a temperament, the temperament of a star chess player, as long as he plays, it seems that he can overshadow the light of others...... I should be right to say that, right? For example, there are 8 sets of matches today. There are many masters playing, and it should be said that every game of chess is very interesting. But Xiaoqiang's chess is always the most concerned, let's take it for example. When we come here to watch chess, the first thing that comes to mind, isn't the most important thing to see is Xiaoqiang's chess? ”

"Hahaha, that's right......"

After listening to Mr. Wu Qingyuan's words, many chess players and reporters here laughed. Indeed, I don't know when it started, maybe it was for Li Xiaoqiang's name of "chessboard wizard", many people love to watch Li Xiaoqiang perform "witchcraft" on the chessboard. Maybe it's because of his status as the youngest nine-dan, the youngest World Champion. Now Li Xiaoqiang can attract more eyeballs than others as long as he plays.

Just today, in the 8 sets of the round of 16 of the "Ying Cup", there will still be no exception. From the beginning of the morning game, the game of Li Xiaoqiang vs Liu Changhe attracted the most attention of the spectators.

So what did this game of chess look like?

A little after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, although the game between Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Changhe was not over, no one paid attention to this game of chess, and everyone went to study other chess games instead.

Indeed, in the eyes of many masters in the laboratory, this game of chess has been played to about 130 moves, and a big transformation has been formed on the chessboard. When this big transition is completed, the whole situation has become clear, and Li Xiaoqiang, who is in charge of black, has gained a very clear advantage, and it should only be a matter of time before he wins.

"Hehe, there should be no suspense in this game of chess, and it is only a matter of time before Xiaoqiang wins. Although judging from the results, Xiaoqiang won a big victory, but the first two new changes are still very interesting. Here, a "leaning cover" and a "double flying swallow" have all come up with new ideas from them. It's funny, it's funny! Both of these changes are clearly in the style of ancient Chinese chess. I heard that Liu Changhe also studied ancient Chinese chess, and now it seems to be true. But now it seems that his research on ancient chess is still not as deep as Xiao Qiang, and he does not understand Xiao Qiang as thoroughly. This must be the reason for his defeat in this game......"

“…… There is also a big conversion in the back is also very interesting, in this change of "Double Feiyan", I think Xiaoqiang obviously deliberately sold a flaw in front of him, and his opponent has been staring at this flaw. It can be seen that many of the moves behind white are deliberately carried out around this flaw, and the big transformation behind it also occurs. However, judging from the results, Xiaoqiang obviously seemed to be calculating, he used a trick to push the boat down the river, although a fat horn was eaten by him, but it was in the center of the big empty. What's worse is that this appearance looks very sturdy, and when this big transformation is completed, this appearance has been completely realized, and white will not be able to enter at all. This is not an equivalent exchange! I think this result must have been something that White didn't expect in advance. He is not as deep as Xiaoqiang, and he is not as thoughtful as Xiaoqiang, so it is reasonable to lose this game of chess......"

At around 4:30 p.m., Mr. Wu Qingyuan, who had been watching the battle in the research room, was still in good spirits. At this time, everyone has stopped studying Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess. Mr. Wu Qingyuan switched to focusing on the match of Dazhu Hero vs Lin Haifeng. What Mr. Wu just said seems to have summed up this game of chess.

Indeed, although the current Yoo Chang-hyuk is already the king of South Korea. To say that in the current Korean Go world, although the main theme is "Cao Li fights for hegemony", Liu Changhe is also a prince, although he does not have many titles, but the highest prize in the Korean chess world "throne" crown still falls in the hands of Liu Changhyuk.

However, in the world chess arena, Liu Changhe, like Ma Xiaofei and others, is still very immature and does not have enough impact. To describe his match with Li Xiaoqiang in one word, it is "".

In the second round of the 2nd "Yingshi Cup",

Liu Changhe was taken lightly by Li Xiaoqiang! (To be continued......)
