In the 7th game of the 4th "World Chess Holy War" finals, when the game was going on at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the second day, Zhang Da reporter in the research room asked Nie Whirlwind:

"Old Nie, this chess strength shouldn't work, right?"

"Well, if nothing else, Dali should throw in the towel soon. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info. At the end, Lao Nie also added:

"Tsk, this chess Xiaoqiang played really well, it's really a famous game of long-distance pursuit."

After receiving Lao Nie's confirmation, reporter Zhang Da immediately walked in the direction of the game room, and he was ready to interview the two players as soon as possible.

When reporter Zhang Da just walked to the door of the game room, he happened to see such a scene:

Li Xiaoqiang had just dropped a chess piece on the chessboard, and then he withdrew his hand, raised his head, and smiled slightly at Gu Dali, who was sitting opposite.

Reporter Zhang Da looked at Gu Dali again, and after Gu Dali held his head and inspected the chessboard again, he showed a wry smile, and then he twisted up two chess pieces and put them on the chessboard, signaling to disarm and surrender.

Li Xiaoqiang's chess just now is the last chess of this game and the last chess of this series.

5-2 on aggregate! Li Xiaoqiang achieved the "World Chess Saint" for 4 consecutive hegemony!

After the game, the microphone was first handed to Gu Dali:

"I lost this game of chess and I have nothing to say, this game of chess made me see the real gap between me and the boss... Except for the gap or the gap. I can only tell you now: I lost this game of chess... ”

Reporter Zhang Da didn't think that this was Gu Dali's polite words, because in today's research room, everyone was praising Li Xiaoqiang's performance, and everyone was impressed by Li Xiaoqiang's exquisite skills. When the suspense of the game is lost, the most talked about in the lab is the gap between the two players.

When the game was closed yesterday, many people, including Nie Whirlwind, thought that Gu Dali's situation was good at that time, although he didn't necessarily have much advantage, but his chess was obviously better.

The turning point was to start with that step of "sealing hands". It must be pointed out that the "blocking move" is not a good move, and when everyone first saw that move today, no one in the research room felt anything about that move.

It's just that as the chess game continues, everyone gradually discovers that the whole situation has been firmly controlled by Li Xiaoqiang, and the balance of victory and defeat has begun to tilt towards him. And the further back he goes, Li Xiaoqiang's advantage seems to be becoming more and more obvious.

Everyone was amazed, and looked back at the process ahead. It's a pity that everyone got nothing, and they couldn't see Li Xiaoqiang's "winning move", nor could they see what went wrong with Gu Dali.

"This game of chess reflects the gap between the two in terms of comprehensive level. Alas, I originally thought that the current Dali should still be able to break his wrist with Xiaoqiang. Now I know that in addition to being young, vigorously has no advantage in front of Xiaoqiang... ”

This is what Nie Whirlwind said in the research room when the overall situation was decided. Regarding Lao Nie's words, most of the people who have watched this game deeply agree.

When Gu Dali won the right to challenge the "World Chess Holy War", everyone thought that it would be a good victory, this was a series of unpredictable wins and losses, and even before the game, there were obviously many people who were optimistic about Gu Dali. But the end result was much more than people expected.

5 to 2, that's quite a disparity. If the two games of rapid chess are for everyone to see Gu Dali's obvious shortcomings, then today's game of chess is for everyone to see how strong Li Xiaoqiang is.

In today's game of chess, it can be said that Gu Dali has fully exerted his level, and his characteristics and his specialties have also been fully demonstrated in this game. Many people, including Nie Whirlwind, think: This is the best Gu Dali.

But even if it is such Gu Dali, when he meets Li Xiaoqiang who is in the best condition, he shows the gap in all directions---- this game of chess is finally Gu Dali admits defeat in the middle game, if all the officials behind him are finished, Li Xiaoqiang can probably win about 2 and a half meshes.

Two and a half meshes, which is already a considerable gap between professional chess players.

This is the end of the 4th "World Chess Holy War". However, although the game is over, the impact of this competition on the Go world and the related topics it has caused are far from over.

After this battle, no one doubted that the "Li Xiaoqiang Dynasty" could continue. Even many people think that this question is a bit boring---- no matter how many times Gu Dali should have Li Xiaoqiang before, and no matter how many games he can win Li Xiaoqiang in the future, but after this fiasco, if Gu Dali can't find his way back on the same stage, then no one thinks he can replace Li Xiaoqiang's position.

Not to mention whether Gu Dali can win the challenge of the next 'World Chess Holy War), even if he can make a comeback, there are still 2 years before now.

Now everyone is most interested in "How strong is Li Xiaoqiang?" ".

Interestingly, this question was also triggered by an online post by a Korean chess fan. This chess fan reminded him of the lifting match played by young chess players such as Li Xiaoqiang and Gu Dali Li Shishi.

"If Gu Dali Li Shi and Li Shishi are allowed to play a lifting match with Li Xiaoqiang again, everyone thinks that the final chess will be fixed in a certain place: A: Divide first, B: Li Xiaoqiang let half first, C: Li Xiaoqiang let one first, D: Li Xiaoqiang let two sons."

This Korean chess fan still gave Li Xiaoqiang a lot of face, and among the options he gave, he didn't consider the unfavorable situation for Li Xiaoqiang at all, and the worst result was to maintain the score first. But no one thinks there's anything wrong with that. When this post appeared on the Internet, many chess fans actively replied, making this post instantly a "hot post".

The final statistical results are not only unexpected by everyone, but also reasonable to think about carefully. In the final statistical results, the number of netizens who chose "b" was the most, and this option was more than half of the total number. The No. 2 option is "C", which means that more than two and a half percent of netizens think that Li Xiaoqiang can beat Gu Dali and Li Shishi to "set the lead".

It should be said that such a result was not unexpected by everyone, Li Xiaoqiang just repelled Gu Dali with a disparity in scores, and Li Xiaoqiang's strength was clear at a glance, which was also the time when everyone was most impressed. Netizens who are interested in doing this kind of multiple-choice question will most likely go between "b" and "c".

What really surprised everyone was the last two options, and in the final statistical results, there were actually more people who chose "d" than "a".

But it's normal to think about this situation, on the Internet, nothing can be too serious, because there are always some netizens who are more extreme. These people may be decent in ordinary life, but when they go online, they always want to show their maverick side. So it's normal for this to happen.

If this only happened online, it would be okay, after all, it belongs to the self-entertainment of chess fans. However, this matter continued to ferment, and it didn't take long for everyone to talk about "how strong is Li Xiaoqiang?" ".

In this kind of matter, reporter Zhang Da has always been a pioneer. In one of his most recent articles, he wrote:

“。。。 Thinking back to Mr. Wu's time, he beat all the masters at that time to a downgrade through the stage of Shibanqi. Although no one said it explicitly, Mr. Wu had the strength to make the world take the lead, I think this statement should be quite public, right? Comparing Li Xiaoqiang with Mr. Wu, I don't dare to say that Li Xiaoqiang is necessarily stronger than Mr. Wu, but in my mind, I don't think Li Xiaoqiang will at least be worse than Mr. Wu... ”

Reporter Zhang Da is really not afraid of offending people, he went around in a big circle, just to say: If he is asked to do this multiple-choice question, his choice will most likely be "B".

Reporter Zhang Da's article did not attract much dissent, and many people in the Go circle also stood up to express their agreement with reporter Zhang Da's views. Mr. Lin Haifeng of Japan said in an interview:

"The level is obviously a lot higher than other chess players of the same era, which is only a few chess players in the entire history of Go can do it, we can name the first one should be the "Tianxian people" Huang Yuetian, the second is the 4th Ben Yinfang "Xuan Miao Dao Ce", the third is Mr. Wu, and now, I think there is a name to be added to the sequence of these great chess players: this person is Li Xiaoqiang! "Chessboard Wizard" Li Xiaoqiang, "Go Encyclopedia" Li Xiaoqiang. ”

Mr. Lin's words also did not attract any criticism, from inside the circle to outside the circle, from professional chess players to ordinary chess fans, the vast majority of people agree with Mr. Lin's words.

Because Li Xiaoqiang's current status in the rivers and lakes is not blown out, this is through his more than 20 years of hard work, and he has made a real shot on the chessboard.

The battle with Gu Dali is not only as simple as allowing the "Li Xiaoqiang Dynasty" to continue.

This battle has established Li Xiaoqiang's transcendent position in the Go world!

"Xiaoqiang, you are now famous, I really don't know if you will have any motivation in the future?"

"How can there be no motivation... Li Xiaoqiang looked at reporter Zhang Da strangely:

“。。。 Don't forget, I have been holding the title of World Chess Saint for 8 years, and if I defend the title once, I will be able to get a lifetime honorary title. ”

Reporter Zhang smiled with his eyebrows: "That's good, that's good... ”

"I said Zhang Da reporter, I said I still have the motivation to play chess, what are you doing so elated? Look at your excitement. ”

Reporter Zhang Da suddenly looked at Li Xiaoqiang very seriously: "Xiaoqiang, seriously, seeing that you have been playing chess for so many years, if you suddenly stop playing chess one day, I may really be a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Li Xiaoqiang also looked at reporter Zhang Da seriously:

"Don't worry, this day must come very late." (To be continued.) )
