At a quarter past 5 p.m., the game came to the final moment. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Shifo re-judged the situation on the chessboard. Seeing that the situation is irreparable:

"No more... Li Shifo muttered softly, and then he put the two chess pieces on the chessboard and signaled to Li Xiaoqiang that he would admit defeat in the middle game.

With Li Shifo's action, it marked the end of the whole game, and also marked the end of all the games of the first "World Chess Holy War". The final result of the game: Li Xiaoqiang defeated Li Shifo with a score of 5-3 and won the championship of the first "World Chess Holy War".

After the game, reporters poured into the game room, everyone raised their cameras, and grabbed the advantageous position, for a while, the sound of flash in the game room came and went.

Most of the focus is naturally on Li Xiaoqiang, and only a small part falls on Li Shifo. Everyone wants to see what Li Xiaoqiang's expression is after becoming the "World Chess Saint".

But at this moment, Li Xiaoqiang seemed extraordinarily calm.

"It was Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo who entered the finals, and Li Xiaoqiang finally lifted the championship trophy...

Plays like this have been played out many times in the world chess scene in recent years. This time, although the competition is bigger, the prize money is a little bigger. And after winning this championship, this allowed Li Xiaoqiang to further consolidate his position as the number one player in the world chess world. Other than that, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't feel any difference between this title and previous victories.

What really made Li Xiaoqiang feel strange was his opponent Li Shifo.

After a major match, Li Shifo's face is usually swollen and red, which is no different from the past.

Li Shifo sat silently in his position, and in his expression, he could see the pain of losing and the regret of losing, which was no different from the past.

But there is one thing Li Xiaoqiang didn't see, and that is unwillingness!

Yes, this time Li Xiaoqiang didn't see Li Shifo's unwillingness! That's the biggest difference.

In the past, no matter how badly Li Shifo lost or how regrettable he was, there was one thing that would never be missing, and that was unwillingness! Li Shifo can always rekindle his fighting spirit and regain the courage to launch the fiercest challenge to himself.

But today, after today's game, Li Xiaoqiang can't see these things anymore.

"I tried my best, but..."

This is half a sentence that Li Shifo said in an interview with reporters after the game, "but" what? Li Shifo didn't say it, "But because the opponent is Li Xiaoqiang." ”？“ But because this opponent is too strong and invincible. ”？

Such a "but" may be possible, and everything is self-evident. After Li Shifo said this half sentence, he chose to leave silently alone, and at this time, no one went up to disturb him, and they all watched Li Shifo's slightly tragic back disappear into the game room.

The same people who saw Li Shifo leave also included Li Xiaoqiang. Looking at his peers and his strongest opponent in recent years, Li Xiaoqiang's heart swelled with infinite emotion.

The Battle of Break! Today's game of chess is a real battle of conclusions.

As long as Li Shifo is still playing chess, as long as he still meets him in the game, Li Shifo can still win, and he is still one of the most likely to beat him. But no matter how many times he wins against himself in the future, he is no longer his real opponent.

This thing has nothing to do with level, has nothing to do with ability, only has to do with a person's heart.

In Li Shifo's heart, he has already admitted that he is not as good as himself, and he can no longer raise his heart to challenge himself with an equal mentality.

This is what Li Xiaoqiang saw just now. This may be the biggest significance of this final.

Not only Li Xiaoqiang thinks so, but after the finals, the entire world chess world thinks so.

"The first World Chess Holy War is over, Li Xiaoqiang became the first World Chess Saint as he wished, although there was a little suspense during the period, but the final facts proved that all the suspense, all the gimmicks were artificially created. Li Xiaoqiang is still unshaken, and Li Xiaoqiang's reign of terror still makes people unable to see the end... ”

"When Iwamoto lost to Wu Qingyuan in Juban, he said that it doesn't matter if I lose, there is Sakata-kun behind me. Although the later facts proved that "Sakata-kun" was also not Wu Qingyuan's opponent, after all, there was a "Sakata-kun" waiting for him. But what about now? If you can't even do Li Shifo, where is the "Sakata-kun" in the Go world? . . ”

"It's Li Xiaoqiang again! It was Li Xiaoqiang who had the last laugh, and it was Li Xiaoqiang who defeated his opponent without danger, and he was making the whole world chess world boring... ”

After the curtain came down on the first World Chess Holy War, the time was already the end of 2001, and 2002 was coming. With this championship, in addition to lamenting Li Xiaoqiang's terrifying dominance, the topic of "looking for Sakata-kun" once again unfolded vigorously in the entire Go world.

At this time, the main argument of the media: that with Li Xiaoqiang's unshakable strength, and with Li Xiaoqiang's current year, the "Li Xiaoqiang dynasty" should be able to last for a long time.

To everyone's surprise, just when everyone called for "Sakata-kun", "Sakata-kun" rushed into everyone's eyelids as quickly as possible.

In August 2002, Tokyo, Japan, Li Xiaoqiang appeared in Japan again on the final day of this year's "Fujitsu Cup". As soon as he got off the plane, Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by a group of reporters:

"Li Sang, who do you think will win the Fujitsu Cup this time...

"Li Sang, who are you more optimistic about in this final...

Isn't that a little weird? It's not surprising at all, because Li Xiaoqiang came to Japan this time, he didn't come to participate in the finals, but only to participate in the competition for the third or fourth place.

Li Xiaoqiang was brought down by "Assassin" Liu Changhe in the semi-finals and lost to Liu Changhe, which is not a very strange thing, but everyone is so interested in this year's final, which has little to do with Liu Changhe, but more to do with the other side of the final.

Another chess player who reached the finals was Li Shishi. This is a sign that the "post-80s" chess players have finally entered the house. If Li Shishi can win the championship, it will be a symbol, marking the final appearance of the "Sakata-kun" that everyone is looking forward to.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the opponent in this final is Liu Changhe's senior, not Li Xiaoqiang."

This is a sentence that Li Shishi blurted out in an interview with reporters when he first entered the finals, and today Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by reporters, of course, to a large extent, because of this sentence.

"Li Shishi's talent is amazing, his chess talent is of course excellent, everyone knows, I was defeated by Liu Changhe in this semi-final, so for this final, I personally still hope that Li Shishi can win, don't you call him South Korean Li Xiaoqiang, so it can be regarded as South Korea's Li Xiaoqiang avenging the real Li Xiaoqiang."

Because it is none of his business, Li Xiaoqiang used such a tone to fight with reporters. Of course, Li Xiaoqiang is not completely untargeted. Because he vaguely remembers that in real history, Li Shishi's first world championship seems to have won the "Fujitsu Cup" from Liu Changhyuk this year, thus officially entering the house.

"I just put down Da Li, Xiao Li will get up again immediately, from now on, I may have to accept the challenge of the junior chess players...

Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart while dealing with reporters.

"Isn't everyone looking for a "Hyundai Sakata-kun" right now? Yes, I think Li Shishi, should be the one who is most qualified to be called "Hyundai Sakata-kun", as for him to say that it is a pity that the opponent in this final is not me, I think there is nothing to regret this... ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoqiang paused, and he said to reporters with a smile:

"Go and tell him that I'm here, ready for his challenge." (To be continued.) )
