On the day of the game, Li Xiaoqiang quickly completed his game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a game for 3rd place, so naturally it doesn't arouse much interest.

"Let's go over there?" Li Xiaoqiang said to his opponent Chang Rensheng.

In the semifinals of this year's "Fujitsu Cup", Li Shishi happened to eliminate Chang Rensheng and entered the finals. The two Korean chess players will compete in the final of this year's "Fujitsu Cup", which made the Korean media excited, and they described the competition as a "big victory" for Korean Go.

Indeed, the world chess scene in this life is completely different from the previous life, and being able to win the championship and runner-up once is indeed like a Chinese New Year for Korean Go.

Chang Rensheng smiled: "Let's go, take a look." So the two didn't even recover, so they went to the research room to watch the finals between Liu Changhe and Li Shishi.

"Xiaoqiang is here... "Li Sang is here... "Hello Mr. Li..."

Due to the good relationship with the Japanese Go community, after the two came to the research room, many Japanese chess players greeted Li Xiaoqiang one after another. Of course, the most enthusiastic is a group of Chinese chess players, Mr. Li Haifeng warmly greeted Li Xiaoqiang and Chang Rensheng: "Xiaoqiang, come here to play chess with us... ”

With Mr. Lin Haifeng, there are Mr. Wang Licheng, Mr. Wang Mingwan and his disciple Zhang Xu and others. Li Xiaoqiang first praised Zhang Xu:

"It's a good performance."

Mr. Lin was humble for his disciple: "Where, compared to Li Shishi, his performance is far worse. ”

In this year's "Fujitsu Cup", in addition to Li Shishi's soaring all the way to the finals, Zhang Xu also eliminated China's Ma Xiaofei in the 16-8 competition. You must know that Ma Xiaofei's "winning hand" is notoriously stable, and Zhang Xu was able to defeat Ma Xiaofei, indicating that he already has a strong impact. The outstanding performance of these "post-80s" chess players also indicates that the metabolism of the chess world is intensifying, and young people are beginning to seize power.

After a few small talks, everyone focused on the finals that were going on. Li Xiaoqiang's own game ended early, and when he and Chang Rensheng came to the research room, the final had just played more than 100 chess moves, and it was still very early to divide the final victory.

"Xiaoqiang, what do you think of this Li Shishi?" Lin Haifeng asked Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang smiled, because he was called "South Korean Li Xiaoqiang", Li Xiaoqiang was asked about his opinion of Li Shishi This is not once or twice, and as Li Shishi becomes more and more active, his record in domestic and international competitions is getting better and better, and Li Xiaoqiang is being asked more and more times.

And Li Xiaoqiang also knows that many people in the Chinese and Japanese Go circles don't think much of Li Shishi's chess. For example, China's Nie Whirlwind, Japan's Lin Haifeng and others, they think that Xiao Li's Go defects are obvious, and they all say that Li Shifo's layout is poor, and Li Shi's layout looks worse than Li Shifo, and most of his wins rely on the reversal of the second half of the game. Therefore, even now, there are still many senior chess players who think that Li Shishi will not be able to succeed in the end.

Let's take today's final as an example, due to the unfavorable start, Li Shishi fell into a hard battle early. It's good that Lao Nie is not here, if Lao Nie is here, you and him will probably say, "What is Li Shishi's name here?" It's clearly throwing stones... ”

"Reversing a game is accidental, and reversing a plate is a real kung fu. In short, this Li stone is very special, and it can be regarded as unique. Mr. Lin, you must not underestimate him. ”

At this time, Li Xiaoqiang said a good word for Xiao Li. In fact, in Li Xiaoqiang's mind, anyone in this world can criticize Xiao Li, as if Japanese chess players are not qualified. In real history, Li Shishi once won more than 90% of Japanese chess players. Li Xiaoqiang believes that it is not so much that Xiao Li's chess is flawed, but that it is precisely because of Xiao Li that the flaws of Japanese Go are fully exposed.

And this, that is something that neither he nor Li Shifo did.

"Of course I'm not underestimating him, I just think it's a little weird. Generally speaking, as a chess player grows older, the more reasonable the chess is always played, as far as you Xiaoqiang is concerned, when you played chess when you were young, there were many unreasonable things in chess, but now it is much better. But what about this Li Shishi, he is also famous at a young age, but his chess not only does not tend to be reasonable, but also intensifies, becoming more and more weird, which is really a strange thing. ”

"Huh...

Li Xiaoqiang felt that Mr. Lin's words were to the point. How to describe it? If you regard Japanese Go as "Xuanmen Zhengzong", you can think that Li Shifo is a typical "decent master", and he is "both good and evil", "both good and evil", then Li Shishi is a standard evil master.

Li Shishi, who has a unique way of thinking, Li Shishi, who does not take the usual path, is now finally successful and ready to create an era that belongs to him.

After evaluating Li Shishi, everyone continued to pay attention to the game. In the next process, many of Li Shishi's moves made all professional chess players, including Li Xiaoqiang, stunned.

"Huh? He's down here? Can Go still be played like this? . . ”

"Huh? How did he get down here? It's really an unexpected force point.,Can this place still make things happen.。。。 ”

After arriving in the middle and back plates, Li Shishi's strange thinking was an eye-opener, and many of his ideas also attracted Li Xiaoqiang's admiration:

"This is talent, with these uniqueness, even if there are many flaws in his Go, he has become a first-class top master." Li Xiaoqiang said.

Under Li Shishi's strong pursuit, the situation became more and more chaotic, and the victory and defeat became more and more unclear. Especially at the last moment, there was an unequal transition on the chessboard, although each side ate 5 pieces of the other party, Liu Changhe ate inside, and Li Shishi ate outside. In Go terms, this is a typical "exchange between inside and outside", and Yoo Chang-hyuk suffers a lot.

After this battle, although the chess is still very fine, Li Shishi has actually reversed. When the game is over,

Half-eye!

Li Shishi didn't do much, no less, just won half a eye.

With this half-eye, Li Shishi also became one of the members of the World Champion Club, and with this half-eye, Li Shishi finally officially entered the house.

"Hehe, Xiao Li has taken his head, and the world chess world has finally had a new excitement...

At the moment when Li Shishi won the championship, Li Xiaoqiang thought of it in his heart.

"I'm very happy to win this championship, but I think my championship is a little lacking, because I haven't met Li Xiaoqiang in the competition, and I can't wait to fight him now...

At the subsequent award ceremony, Li Shishi said. After winning the championship, he said that his championship was not gold-worthy, and this kind of thing may only be done by Li Shishi. Li Xiaoqiang also attended the award ceremony, and when Li Shishi said this, all eyes were on Li Xiaoqiang.

Li Xiaoqiang responded with a smile: "I'm waiting for you... ”

Throughout 2002, Li Shishi's performance did not stop there, and in the next 2nd "Toyota Cup", Li Shishi once again reached the final, this time his opponent in the final was replaced by China's Chang Rensheng.

2 to 1!

Li Shishi defeated Chang Rensheng and lifted the world championship trophy for the second time in a year. With these two titles, Li Shishi also became the best performing professional chess player of the year.

As the first person in the world chess world, Li Xiaoqiang's results this year are not satisfactory. This year, Korean chess players have frequently captured the flag in the World Championships, and there seems to be a "Korean Wave counterattack" posture. Finally, when the "Samsung Cup" arrived, the Chinese chess players finally had a full-scale outbreak, as if they had the posture of ending the game in the 16-8 game.

"There should be a good chance of winning the top 8 this time, right?"

"Well, it's very promising, if you win the top eight, it will be an unprecedented feat."

"How many sets have you won now?"

"7 plates! Seven sets have been won now, and there should be no problem winning the last set. ”

"Oh? Did you go to see that game of chess? ”

"No, I didn't pay much attention to that game of chess, but the last game of chess was Li Xiaoqiang vs. Cao Yanzi...

At the end of the game, Li Xiaoqiang was really a little embarrassed. Because in the top 8, Chinese chess players have occupied 7 seats, and the only one who loses is actually himself.

Next, the world chess world staged a classic scene of "catching and releasing Cao", Lao Cao escaped death several times in the subsequent games, and finally won this year's "Samsung Cup" championship trophy.

"It's really old and strong...

Seeing Lao Cao accomplish such a feat, Li Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart. With this title, Cao Yanzi's number of world titles has also increased to 4. And this world champion is likely to be his last. Because of Li Xiaoqiang, compared with Lao Cao's 9 world championships in his previous life, he is now more than half less.

"However, this should also be the last afterglow of the veteran...

While lamenting that Lao Cao won the championship, Li Xiaoqiang also thought of it in his heart.

Li Xiaoqiang can't be blamed for thinking like this, because when Lao Cao won the championship, time was about to enter 2003.

In real history, in Li Xiaoqiang's mind, 2003 can be regarded as a "big year of Go". Because in this year, the three top masters Cao Yanzi, Ma Xiaofei, and Liu Changhe weakened at the same time, although the reasons for their weakness were different. But with the weakening of the three of them, it can be said that the pattern of the entire world chess scene has completely turned a new page.

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang did not gain nothing throughout 2002. The next two world competitions, "Qiu Ju Cup" and "LG Cup", were shared by Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo.

Li Shifo won the "Qiu Ju Cup", and Li Xiaoqiang won this year's "LG Cup".

Although there is only one championship, Li Xiaoqiang's victory in the "LG Cup" can be regarded as having another significance.

After Li Xiaoqiang won this championship, he finally won all the world championships, and Li Xiaoqiang became the first "full champion" in the world chess world.

It was under such a circumstance that Li Xiaoqiang ushered in 2003, an extraordinary 2003. (To be continued.) )
