After returning to his hometown, Li Xiaoqiang finally lived a normal "middle school student" career for a few days.

Now, for this year's Li Xiaoqiang, there is only the last game left in the final of the "Celebrity Battle". Of course, this game is also very important. It will determine the ownership of China's first "celebrity". In the world of Go, the title of "celebrity" has a very special meaning. Therefore, this game has also received great attention and is regarded as the finale and finale of this year's Chinese chess world.

It was under such circumstances that Li Xiaoqiang once again moved away from the center of Chinese Go and returned to his hometown to become a high school student. If someone else does it, then most people will be worried about him. Only when facing Li Xiaoqiang is an exception. Not only is everyone not worried, but there is a faint expectation:

"Li Xiaoqiang only needs to go back to his hometown once, and after a few months when he "comes out of the mountain" again, his Go level seems to be able to produce a qualitative leap......"

Similar to this view, in the Go world for a long time, long before the start of the 4th ring tournament, Japan's Yamada face reporter even said in his own article that this is a "Li Xiaoqiang phenomenon". Like many things in this era, it seems that as long as it is "exported to domestic sales", it is often more sought after by everyone. Therefore, after this statement was transmitted back to China, it has now been known and accepted by more and more people.

For such a thing, nature cannot be explained by a "general law". Far away from the center of Go, without the sharpening of high-level opponents around, how can the level of Go progress so quickly? It is such a "phenomenon". It is talked about again, and at the same time it has aroused many people's thinking.

Obviously, any one thing. As long as it cannot be explained by "general laws". The "genius theory" has a market. The so-called "Li Xiaoqiang phenomenon" seems to have become proof that Li Xiaoqiang is a "peerless genius". This is also where everyone has been talking about it all along. The funniest thing is that when Li Xiaoqiang just left Beijing, Ma Xiaofei made a joke about this matter:

"What? You ask me about the ownership of China's first celebrity title? Just let me predict? Hahaha, I can tell you very clearly now that for the match between Sledgehammer and Xiaoqiang, I have always thought that it was a good victory, and I really have to analyze it objectively. It should be a slightly better look like a sledgehammer, probably 51 to 49. But now it's different, since the game is scheduled for the end of the year. Then I'm more optimistic about Xiaoqiang now. ”

"For what?"

"Don't forget, Xiaoqiang has always had the saying of "going home and playing chess once in April". In my opinion, the point here is not 4 months, but going home. Xiaoqiang is terrible because of "going home". Suppose Xiaoqiang doesn't go home. Even if the time of the competition is half a year later, I may still be optimistic that Sledgehammer can win. But now it's different, since this wild cow has set up a stall of "Xiaoqiang going home", he can only blame his bad luck......"

"Haha......"

This is what Ma Xiaofei said in private. When Zhang Zhidong asked him this question, Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Dazhui were present. At that time, the Chinese team won the final victory of the 4th ring competition. A small celebration party was held inside the national Go team. So the atmosphere around is very relaxed and warm. In addition to the two "parties", many Chinese Go personalities, including Chen Chaoyue and Nie Xuanfeng, were present.

Today, Li Xiaoqiang has a deeper understanding of his Go practice. If you leave the first line of professional Go for a period of time, will you not be able to improve your Go skills? As many people in later generations believed. If you don't go to the Go center in Beijing, you can't become a first-line professional Go master?

2 years ago. Li Xiaoqiang once hesitated about this problem. I often worry that I am not playing "tightly". And I asked Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa for advice. also comforted himself with the example of Nie Whirlwind who stayed in the "Great Northern Wilderness" for a long time.

But now, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't seem to be worried about this problem too much. This should be natural, as Li Xiaoqiang's understanding of Go deepens, he already has a deeper understanding of this issue.

Now Li Xiaoqiang believes that staying away from the Go center at the right time may not be harmful to his Go practice, on the contrary, it may be more beneficial for himself, a reborn person!

Li Xiaoqiang's reason is very simple, for a certain period of time, away from the world of professional Go, this may be more conducive to his own thinking and to deepen his understanding of Go.

It's not that Li Xiaoqiang is arrogant, and it's not that he's being unconventional. Li Xiaoqiang believes that his ideas should be very reasonable. In other words, he thinks his approach should be very "scientific".

What is a person's Go level, or a person's "chess power", made of? Such a question may seem mysterious, but it is not that complicated. Li Xiaoqiang believes that the so-called "chess power" is nothing more than "basic skills" and "chess ideas". It doesn't matter what your Go talent is, whether you're a professional or an amateur. Anyone's "chess power", if it is simply generalized, should be composed of these two parts.

As with all other skills, the importance of the "basics" of Go cannot be overemphasized. There should be a consensus on this. In particular, one of the most important features that distinguishes professional Go from amateur Go is that it requires "basic skills", which draws a fairly high baseline. For example, there should be no gap between the amateur 6th dan and the professional first dan in later generations, and there should be no gap in their understanding of Go. What really separates the two is the basic skills of Go.

It's just a pity that people know the importance of "basic skills". However, there seems to be a big deviation in the understanding of "basic skills". Li Xiaoqiang even believes that South Korean Go has been strong for decades, in addition to the emergence of several talented leaders. Their strength is still strong in their "basic skills".

This view seems a bit unbelievable, and the chess played by Korean chess players. It often gives people the impression that "the chess shape is not right". This has been criticized by the Go community for decades. How can their chess play be a good performance of "basic skills"? Li Xiaoqiang thinks. As long as you carefully taste and compare, there should be some truth in your own opinion.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that the so-called "Korean stream" in later generations was born from the Japanese Go theory, and it itself is not self-contained. And the most obvious feature of the Korean stream is "sabotage"!

The Japanese have been on the path of pursuing the "chess way" for hundreds of years. No one can deny their achievements. Indeed, it has been fruitful. However, there is also a disadvantage of Japanese Go, that is, it pursues the "right path" too much. And ignore the understanding of the "evil way", on the surface. There is certainly nothing wrong with pursuing the "right path" of Go. Since Chinese Go has been learning Japanese Go, this defect of Japanese Go has been for a long time. None of you found out. Until the advent of the "Korean stream". I made up for this lesson for everyone.

In later generations, we can often see such a situation, when a Korean chess player makes a move that is "not in the right shape", he is greatly criticized by the Chinese and Japanese Go circles. Even if a Korean chess player wins a game of chess with this move, through the subsequent review and research, you can find out many flaws and loopholes in this move, and even draw a very clear conclusion: this move of a Korean chess player is not a good move in any case.

Truly. Through the following research, the research conclusions of the Chinese and Japanese Go circles are likely to be correct. This move of theirs. It is likely to be the "evil way". Whenever this happens, the Chinese and Japanese Go circles are often unconvinced, believing that they have been "disrupted" by Korean players again. If the Chinese and Japanese players had dealt with it correctly, what would have been the outcome......

This happened many times in the following decades, right? It makes Li Xiaoqiang regret that in many reports, he only saw the "unconvinced" of the Chinese and Japanese Go circles, but did not see reflection. Even if there is some "reflection", it seems that it is "reflecting" in the wrong place.

Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that when encountering such a thing, instead of looking for reasons in other aspects, it is better to reflect on the problem of "basic skills".

When you play Go, you can't go wrong with pursuing the "right way of chess". However, just knowing the "correct solution" of the Tao does not mean that the person's "basic skills" are good. For a long period of time, the lack of Chinese and Japanese chess players, or the shortcomings of Chinese and Japanese chess players, is often reflected in this kind of place.

For example, when it comes to a specific change, for one of the moves, it is likely that the Chinese and Japanese Go circles have already made a conclusion: at this time, playing at place A is the correct solution, and playing at other places is the evil way. Well, let's assume that conclusion is correct. At the same time, we also believe that since the Go community dares to come to such a conclusion, a lot of detailed analysis and research must have been carried out on this change. It is also impossible to say that the Chinese and Japanese Go circles do not understand the "evil way" at all.

The biggest problem here is that out of the pursuit of "chess", the Chinese and Japanese Go circles are often only interested in the changes in A, and they have studied the changes here very deeply. What if they are in B, what about C? It cannot be said that there is no research, but that the research is relatively shallow. The "Korean stream" is different, their "concept of good and evil" is very weak. Whether it is the "right way" or the "evil way", they are all treated equally. What's more, some chess players tend to be more interested in evil ways......

To use a very simple analogy, for a specific change, there is one "right way" and several "evil ways". Due to the difference in the philosophy of Go. Chinese and Japanese chess players may have studied 50 moves on the "right path" and only 20 moves on several other "evil paths". And what about Korean chess players? In fact, he also knew that a certain move was the "right way". However, his research was not as deep as that of Chinese and Japanese chess players, and he only studied 30 moves for the "right way", while he probably studied more than 40 moves for several other "evil paths......

If this happens, when a Korean player makes a move that is "not in the right shape". When a Korean player wins a game with this move. only complains that others are "stirring up the situation" and despises others for "not taking the right path". Is that enough? Obviously, this is not enough. What the Chinese and Japanese Go circles should really reflect on is the issue of "basic skills". Only by being well acquainted with all kinds of "evil ways" can we fundamentally solve this problem.

Fortunately, it took decades for Chinese Go to finally make up for this lesson, and by that time, South Korean Go wanted to take advantage of Chinese players in terms of "basic skills". It is no longer possible, so that the biggest advantage of Korean Go. It doesn't exist anymore.

Li Xiaoqiang believes that the various "evil ways" in Go are actually part of the basic skills of Go. And in this part, the Chinese and Japanese chess players of this era are very lacking. Even if they are as strong as Nie Whirlwind and Japan's "Six Super", although their understanding of Go has reached a very high level, because of the lack of this aspect, there should still be a long way to go to the pinnacle of Go.

Li Xiaoqiang knows the way of the road, but this is the case. Killing him in this era will not say it. It's not that Li Xiaoqiang is selfish. You can put yourself in Li Xiaoqiang's shoes and think about it, he is now a teenager, although he is well-known in the Go world. If he says what he really thinks:

"Nie Whirlwind and Japan's six supers don't have a deep understanding of some things on the evil path of Go. Their Go fundamentals are not up to par......"

If this is the case, Li Xiaoqiang is not qualified to dream of Go at all. He's a brain-wreck.

Of course, it has no influence on the Go philosophy of his predecessors, but it is for his peers. Li Xiaoqiang still found a way to be subtle. Especially for the national junior team of chess players. Li Xiaoqiang often peddled his Go ideas there. Among them, Li Xiaoqiang likes to "bully" Chang Rensheng, an honest child.

I don't know when Lu Dao began, and there is no longer a saying of "Seven Little Dragons" in the Chinese Go world. In its place was the "Eight Horses". The most interesting is reporter Zhang Da, who in one of his articles, in order to describe the "good situation" of Chinese Go. came up with a "one horse in the lead, ten thousand horses galloping" approach. It is said that it was because of this mention that Zhang Zhidong was praised by their editor-in-chief for the first time, and he was proud of it for a long time. And this formulation of his. It has gradually been accepted by many people.

And Li Xiaoqiang naturally became the one who "took the lead" in the "Eight Horses". Li Xiaoqiang likes to "bully" Chang Rensheng. That doesn't mean anything else, it's just that Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that with Chang Rensheng's talent, with his hard work and hard work, if he knows more about the evil ways in Go, his "ability to resist blows" will be stronger. Then in the future Sino-Korean Go confrontation, Chang Rensheng's achievements must be greater. Even for this reason, Li Xiaoqiang is willing to give selfless help.

Of course, it's one thing to help others, it's the most important thing to improve yourself. When Li Xiaoqiang returned to his hometown again, when he was once again far away from the world of professional Go. As Ma Xiaofei said, there are many people who are interested in his cultivation method, and they are quietly observing and waiting. Want to see if Li Xiaoqiang's "Returning Home Dafa" is useful?

And Li Xiaoqiang himself is also very much looking forward to it, and when he left the capital, he also formulated a training plan for himself. Whether this training method is useful or not depends on the final battle of the "celebrity battle" 2 months later to test the actual effect.

Li Xiaoqiang is very confident in the unique method he came up with. At the same time, when he returned to his hometown, Li Xiaoqiang was in a good mood. To paraphrase a very vulgar saying, it is not too much to describe it as "a good mood accompanies you every day".

Li Xiaoqiang's good mood comes from Lin Mengyu!

When Li Xiaoqiang hit by mistake, he made a wonderful "test hand". The "romantic story" of Li Xiaoqiang and Lin Mengyu spread unconsciously in Cuiwei Middle School. Although nothing happened to the two, everyone seemed to have decided on the reality that "Li Xiaoqiang has a good impression of Lin Mengyu". as two direct "parties". Of course, Li Xiaoqiang has always been a big celebrity, and Lin Mengyu used to be an unknown middle school student. After the incident of "rats stealing oil", it seems that overnight, the "future beauty" seems to have become a big celebrity in the school.

For example, Zhao Dabao's sister Zhao Qinqin, when she learned about Li Xiaoqiang's gossip story, she also went to watch Lin Mengyu with great interest. When she came back from "watching", the fierce Zhao Qinqin did not speak ill of Li Xiaoqiang for the first time. On the contrary, Zhao Qinqin also gave Li Xiaoqiang a thumbs up. A "count you kid has vision" expression.

Regarding Zhao Qinqin's actions, Li Xiaoqiang was proud. He knew what Zhao Qinqin meant. Rather than praising her "clever means", it is more reliable to say that she is praising her "long-term vision".

After entering high school, Lin Mengyu is gradually fading away from her former youthfulness, and her appearance is becoming more and more beautiful and moving. When Lin Mengyu began to attract people's attention, everyone suddenly discovered:

"How did the original yellow-haired girl become a beautiful embryo?"

Naturally, Li Xiaoqiang, who has a "unique vision", is certainly worthy of Zhao Qinqin's thumbs up. Obviously, this is also the reason why Li Xiaoqiang is proud. Be more honest than real. In the whole thing, Li Xiaoqiang has nothing to boast about at all.

His "test hand" was realized by mistake, and it was not at all. It is a kind of "false romanticism", and his "long-term vision" is even less worth mentioning. If he is not a reborn, with his little aesthetic ability, he doesn't know what a "beauty embryo" is. Of course, none of this can affect Li Xiaoqiang's good mood. Of course, human nature is like this, if a person knows his own merits, then he has nothing to be happy about when he is praised for his true merits.

For example, Li Xiaoqiang, if someone praises him as "smart" now, "Go is very powerful!" Then he must have no reaction. Only in this case, these things are obviously lacking in him, and without the knowledge of others, they are misunderstood as his merits by mistake. Then he will be complacent.

It must be admitted that "pretending" has always been one of the most interesting bad tastes of human beings. And now Li Xiaoqiang is obviously in such an emotion.

"Well, whether it's true or not, my "test hand" has finally come out. Of course, this is the same as playing Go, just being able to play "test hands" is not a Go master. The latter method is the real test of a person's level. For example, my relationship with the future beauty is still in a preliminary ambiguous stage, and what I have to do later is to find a way to make this relationship clear...... Yes, the key is implementation! Then whoever once said that only when it is implemented, can a job be considered effective. And the work I have to do in the future is to find a way to take advantage of the hot iron and make the future beauty my real girlfriend......"

On this day, in a classroom in the first year of high school in Cuiwei Middle School. During one recess activity time in the afternoon. Li Xiaoqiang habitually wandered again. He was immersed in his infinitely beautiful YY. Unfortunately, his dream didn't last long. Zhao Dabao's voice pulled him back into the cruel reality:

"Hahaha, I said Chubby, you tell me honestly, what's going on with you and this Japanese girl? Tsk, I really can't see it, so you're so powerful......"

Li Xiaoqiang turned his eyes and saw Zhao Dabao rushing in from outside, holding a Go magazine in his hand, and he was squeezing his eyebrows at him. Li Xiaoqiang's eyes were sharp-eyed, and he even saw a large photo of himself and Yukari Umezawa playing chess in magazines.

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that the time had come to really test himself. (To be continued......)
