The 2nd "World Chess Holy War" Top 4 Tournament has just ended, and the "Challenger Decisive Battle" of the five-game chess that determines the right to challenge will begin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

South Korea's big and small Li, which of them can get the qualification to challenge Li Xiaoqiang? Their tournament attracted the attention of the entire world chess community.

As the defending champion, Li Xiaoqiang also paid close attention to the matchup between South Korea's big and small Li, and during their match, Li Xiaoqiang almost stayed in Shencheng to watch the match.

"It's hard to say whether the two of them will win or lose, the momentum is that Xiao Li is more sufficient, but in terms of strength, Da Li should have a slight advantage, so this kind of game mainly depends on the performance of both sides. . . ."

During the game, naturally a reporter asked Li Xiaoqiang to talk about his views on the game, and Li Xiaoqiang basically answered with this routine.

However, the process of the game was completely beyond Li Xiaoqiang's expectations, and it can be said that almost everyone's expectations.

In the first game of the "Challenger Decisive Battle", Li Shishi slaughtered nearly 20 dragons of Li Shifo in an extremely cool way, and won the middle game in less than 130 hands.

In the second game, Li Shishi not only slayed the dragon again, but also made a breakthrough move in the game. When Xiao Li made this wonderful move, Li Xiaoqiang was also watching the game in the research room, and even Li Xiaoqiang did not expect this move at that time.

2 to 0! Li Shifo didn't seem to have moved his hands and feet, and he had been forced into a desperate situation by Li Shi.

"It seems that Xiaoqiang, you are really ready to accept the challenge of the junior chess players this time."

After watching the first two games with Li Xiaoqiang, reporter Zhang Da said to Li Xiaoqiang.

Originally, Li Xiaoqiang also thought so, but after the 2nd game, when Li Shishi was interviewed by reporters, Li Xiaoqiang heard a very familiar sentence:

"Among all the top masters, the strength of the stone Buddha is the weakest, so I think it should be my turn to challenge Li Xiaoqiang this time...

Hearing such a familiar sentence, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing:

"Hahahaha..."

Reporter Zhang Da expressed puzzlement that Li Xiaoqiang was smiling so happily: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about this ... But then reporter Zhang Da shook his head and smiled: "This Xiao Li, that is really a personality, he really dares to say anything... ”

Li Xiaoqiang said: "I'm not laughing at his personality, I'm laughing at his hurtful character." Well... After he said this, maybe this challenge may not necessarily be his. ”

"Wait... What did you say? Hurt character?。。。 This, what a mess of this... ”

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't tell reporter Zhang Da: In his last life, in a certain World Series final, Li Shishi was reversed by Li Shifo in a good situation of leading 2-0 because of this.

Of course, is this sentence so spiritual? Li Xiaoqiang definitely can't be sure, because Xiao Li said this at this time, and in his previous life, even this competition didn't exist at all.

"Reporter Zhang, wait a minute, help me make an appointment with Li Shifo, and say that I will invite him to dinner in the evening."

"Eat? Do you think Da Li is still in the mood to eat now? ”

"I'm definitely not in the mood to be invited by others, but I, Li Xiaoqiang, will definitely come."

Li Shifo really gave face, and he went to the banquet that night as promised. are all chess players immersed in the world of victory and defeat, and there is nothing to cheer and cheer up, after meeting, Li Xiaoqiang ridiculed Li Shifo:

"You've been a little embarrassed by young people lately."

Li Shifo smiled bitterly: "I used to say that you Li Xiaoqiang was an "iron mouth", but now it seems that you really have the potential to be a god." ”

Li Xiaoqiang laughed: "You just know." ”

Reporter Zhang Da next to him didn't know why, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Since the defeat of the first "World Chess Holy War", Li Shifo seems to have obviously entered a downward channel. Fortunately in international competitions, his results in international competitions are quite stable, such as winning the "Qiu Ju Cup" championship last year.

Li Shifo's decline is mainly manifested in their domestic chess battles. Since the "Cao Li Master-Apprentice War" more than 10 years ago, Li Shifo has always held the position of "the first person in Korean Go", but this situation has finally been broken this year.

And this really has nothing to do with Li Shishi, although Li Shishi has rushed very fast in recent years, Li Shifo can still hold him steadily. The real reason why Li Shifo lost his dominance was mainly because of another young chess player in South Korea, Choi Poison, known as "Cui Zhefo".

"Is there such a thing? You predicted that the stone Buddha would have a "bitter hand" in China? This... This is too godly, isn't it? ”

It was the first time that reporter Zhang Da had heard about this, but there was no need for Li Xiaoqiang to explain, and Li Shifo personally proved it, so it was impossible for reporter Zhang Da not to believe it.

But fortunately, this kind of thing has been explained after all, when Li Xiaoqiang moved out of his set of "chess style restraint theory", this will not only once again confirm Li Xiaoqiang's "unique vision", but also will not make people feel too demonic.

"Xiaoqiang, since you have such a god, then tell me now, do you think the stone Buddha has a chance this time?"

With the foreshadowing in front, when reporter Zhang Da said this sentence seemingly unintentionally, Li Shifo had already pricked up his ears.

At this time, Li Xiaoqiang had already restrained his smile: "The impact of young people is indeed getting stronger and stronger now... ”

Li Xiaoqiang stared at Li Shifo and said, "... The World Chess Holy War is held every 2 years, do you think that after this year, you will have many opportunities in the future... ”

After Li Shifo left, reporter Zhang asked Li Xiaoqiang: "Why do you want to help him?" ”

Li Xiaoqiang smiled: "Am I helping him?" I don't think so. ”

"Then you are..."

Li Xiaoqiang sighed: "Do you think that my words are just for Li Shifo?" No, it's actually for myself. I said that Li Shifo's opportunities are not much, and my own opportunities are actually not much. ”

"So..."

"So from now on, I have to take every opportunity."

"Then Xiaoqiang, let me ask you again, do you really think Li Shifo still has a chance this time?"

"Of course!" Li Xiaoqiang's answer this time was very resolute: "Reporter Zhang, I'll be honest with you, but this time, don't talk nonsense to the outside world." ”

"Say."

"In fact, two Korean chess players compete for the right to challenge, it doesn't matter who challenges me, Li Shifo is on it, I am confident to win, Li Shishi is up, I am more sure to win."

"Oh?"

"Yes, if Li Shifo comes up, I think I have at least fifty percent hope...

"What about Li Shishi?"

"Li Shishi comes up, I promise to beat him all over the ground to find teeth."

"Hahaha, you little strong...

On the second day, that is, the gap between the second game and the third game, Li Shifo suddenly became high-profile in an interview with reporters, and he had never even been so high-profile:

"Now, it's time to educate young people...

And Li Shifo did what he said, in the third game, Li Shifo showed his characteristics perfectly, he didn't give Xiao Li any chance, 1 to 2, Li Shifo pulled back a game.

In the 4th game, Li Shifo made persistent efforts, and Li Shifo played a little abnormally in this game, 2-2, Li Shifo equalized.

Finally, it was the crucial tiebreaker, in which both sides played their own characteristics and played at a high level.

For a long time, Li Shishi maintained the lead in this situation, but it is a pity that his opponent is Li Shifo, who has completely entered the peak state, and Li Shifo is as solid as a rock!

It was just an inadvertent mistake, and Li Shifo never gave Li Shishi a chance again. 7 and a half meshes! Li Shifo, who was still at a disadvantage in the middle game, finally won 7 and a half meshes.

Another big reversal in the World Series has everyone's blood boiling.

"Li Shifo is making a comeback again, will Li Shifo become the protagonist of the world chess scene in this winter of 2003?"

When some South Korean media couldn't wait to shout this sentence, they found that it was said a little early.

September 2003 passed, and when the time came to the month, all those who cared about Go suddenly found that the protagonist of the entire world chess scene still seemed to be Li Xiaoqiang.

Due to the peculiarities of this year, many world championships are concentrated in the second half of the year. In addition to the "Fujitsu Cup", which has already ended, and the "Akiju Cup" and "Toyota Cup", which have become held every two years.

In the early part of the month, in the semifinals of this year's "Samsung Cup", Li Xiaoqiang defeated Japan's Wang Licheng Jiudan to enter the finals.

"I can't afford to lose this game because it's him in the final...

The "he" that Li Xiaoqiang said was Li Shishi, who had just been defeated by Li Shifo.

In mid-October, the semi-finals of this year's "LG Cup" ended, and Li Shishi reversed Zhao Zhixun to enter the final. After the competition, Li Shishi expressed his thoughts:

"The game was very difficult, and I wanted to give up for a while, but when I thought about the final...

"Over there in the finals", it is still Li Xiaoqiang who broke into the finals!

In this way, in the last two months of 2003, Li Xiaoqiang not only had to play a nine-game game with Li Shifo, but also booked two five-game games with Li Shi.

Li Xiaoqiang shook South Korea's "Er Li"! ”

This is the real highlight of this year's world chess scene. (To be continued.) )ad_950
