"If you lose the game, if you say "regret", it must be a little bit. After all, I once thought that I was so close to this celebrity. But if I had to say that I had lost "unfortunately", I don't think I could talk about ......."

After the tiebreaker, there was no detailed review of the game due to the award ceremony. As soon as the two appeared at the door of the game room, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

In the vast majority of competitive competitions, whether it is awarding awards or being interviewed after the game, of course, they start with the runner-up. Naturally, the game of Go will not be an exception. Li Xiaoqiang stood politely beside Liu Dazhu, and he was also listening to Liu Dazhui's "post-game speech".

"Sledgehammer, can you briefly review this game of chess, and then talk about your feelings."

"For today's game, I prepared well before the game and I feel that I am in good shape. In today's race, I basically played my best. Even so, I still didn't win the set. That's where I regret it. ”

"When everyone was studying this game of chess in the research room, everyone stopped studying for a while. Most of the time, everyone thinks you're the one who has the upper hand. Losing such a game of chess, do you only have a little regret and not feel pity? ”

"No, no, no, if it's my own leakage, then I might feel pity. To be honest, I really didn't count Xiaoqiang's step of "breaking". You can also understand it this way, Xiaoqiang's winning move is beyond my current level. Hehe, I was also defeated by someone else's high chess, right? So there's nothing to be sorry for. ”

"According to statistics, you should be the player who has met Xiaoqiang the most times in official matches. Everyone thinks that you should be the chess player who knows Li Xiaoqiang best. Can you tell us what you think of Xiaoqiang? ”

"Haha, that's right, in the past 1 year. Xiaoqiang and I have played a lot of chess, except for training games within the Go team. In the official match, I remember that I should have played 8 games with him, right? To be able to fight him so many times. It's both an honor and a blessing for me. ”

"Oh? Why do you feel this way? ”

"For us Xiaoqiang, I don't think we need to say anything more. How do you describe Xiaoqiang as good? I think it is the most accurate evaluation of Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa of Japan, who thought that Xiaoqiang would be the treasure of our Chinese Go world three years ago...... What I want to say now is that he is not only a treasure of Chinese Go, if he continues to grow on this momentum. He will be the treasure of the entire world of Go! So in his formative years, I had the privilege of playing against him so many times, and it was definitely an honor for me. ”

"Most people will be sad to lose in such a big game. Why do you feel that it is a kind of happiness?

"I'm a professional chess player. People like us have lived in the world of victory and defeat for a long time. It's not uncommon to win or lose games. Whether it is the joy of winning or the sadness of losing, it is a common thing for us. But don't forget, in addition to winning and losing, it should also be our mission to explore the mysteries of Go. I am not satisfied with you saying that every time I meet Xiaoqiang in the competition, I will be very excited. Fight him. It's always something to look forward to. The opportunity to experience his whimsical ideas firsthand, and the opportunity to learn his elusive methods. Only when you have played against him, you will always think: "It turns out that Go can still be played like this!" "Tell me, for someone like me who treats Go as a job. Is this a kind of happiness? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, you are too polite, I don't dare to be a ...... with such a high evaluation."

Seeing that Liu Dazhui became more and more "numb" the more he talked. Li Xiaoqiang, who was standing on the side, couldn't listen to it anymore. So he smiled and interrupted Liu Dazhu's praise.

After the "runner-up" was interviewed, all the glory left naturally belonged to the champion. in the next period of time. Li Xiaoqiang became the natural focus of the venue. Yes, he is now a "celebrity", a "celebrity" of Chinese Go!

All the time. Go is known as "the most complex intellectual game in the world". Of course, it is debatable whether to add a "one" to this sentence. However, the complexity of Go is still recognized by the world.

Looking back on Li Xiaoqiang's entire "celebrity battle", although he had a lot of luck in the entire promotion. But after all, it was in a "five-way chess" contest that defeated the opponent and won this championship. The game of chess in Go is, of course, the best way to reflect a person's true level. Not to mention anything else, in his previous life, when Li Shifo dominated the chess world of the world, he also lost a lot of chess in many "encounters". However, in the best level of chess, he was defeated by a foreign player for the first time until the new century.

What's more, the current era is different from the future generations. At this time, even Ma Xiaofei and Liu Dazhui were dubbed "young chess players". Li Xiaoqiang was able to win a major domestic title at the age of 13. This is enough to be impressive, and enough to make people amazed. For a time, Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by many media reporters.

It is not the first time that Li Xiaoqiang has become the focus of the media. His magical performances in the two ring tournaments caused a bigger sensation and made people talk about it. But when it comes to that competition, people are more surrounded by a simple national sentiment. In fact, what everyone is more concerned about is such purely competitive categories as "anti-Japanese" and "international confrontation".

And the domestic competition is obviously different. Through this chess game, people who are interested will seriously evaluate Li Xiaoqiang's true level. Everyone suddenly found that with Li Xiaoqiang's current level, he may still be inferior to the Japanese Six Super League, and it may be slightly inferior to the domestic "Nie Ma Shuangxiong". But compared to other chess players, no one treats him as a "pawn" anymore. And all this, Li Xiaoqiang did it at the age of 13! It's certainly amazing enough. This is also the reason why Li Xiaoqiang was surrounded by regiments.

Fortunately, due to the late end of the competition, wait for the medal ceremony to end. It was getting late. Most reporters are still relatively "considerate", Li Xiaoqiang is still a "minor", and everyone does not have too much entanglement. Li Xiaoqiang passed the test after a few simple polite words.

"Hahaha, I think everyone should let Xiaoqiang go. He played chess for a day today and must have been tired. Although he is a child prodigy, he is still a child after all, isn't he? I see that everyone is scattered, let's disperse, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, anyway, he will participate in the Tianyuan Tournament in a few days. During this time, he will stay in Shencheng. Don't worry he'll run away...... Let's let him rest first today. ”

With the help of Zhang Zhidong, Li Xiaoqiang finally got out. Of course, other reporters "let go" Li Xiaoqiang, but several professional Go media reporters were not ready to "let go" of him.

In China, Go is classified as a sport. Therefore, most of the reporters who play the line of Go are also "sports reporters". Their way of thinking about reporting on Go is still slightly different from that of a truly professional Go reporter. After the game, Zhang Zhidong asked Li Xiaoqiang for a manuscript on behalf of "Go" magazine. Ask him to have another "self-war commentary".

At the beginning, Zhang Zhidong didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, it is not the first time that Li Xiaoqiang has conducted a "self-war commentary" in "Go" magazine. The cooperation between the two sides is also familiar. Who knew that the "Go World" magazine in Beijing also had this intention, and they also asked Li Xiaoqiang for a manuscript at the first time. Even the Japanese magazine "Kido" made the same request. They sent a Yamada reporter to Shencheng. Actually, it means so.

They are all "insiders". Li Xiaoqiang, of course, has no reason to refuse. But Li Xiaoqiang took into account that this game had just ended. There was no serious review after the game. Moreover, this game of chess is relatively complicated in terms of skills, and he is now relatively vague about the gains and losses of some of the Go skills in it, and he is not very sure of many judgments at present. Considering that there is also a bad article for Japanese Go magazines, Li Xiaoqiang doesn't want to just talk about it and throw his face abroad.

So he decided to spend a few days sorting out the game. Let's complete this "self-war commentary" again. Fortunately, the "Tianyuan Competition" will not open in a few days. Li Xiaoqiang has nothing to do these days, so he just concentrates on doing a good job in this chess evaluation.

According to Li Xiaoqiang's idea, the family is doing it anyway. The three are also do. There is no essential difference. The most I can do is prepare a few more reference diagrams. But reporter Zhang Da didn't think so. Of course, he didn't think that Li Xiaoqiang was not a friend enough and did not grant him the "exclusive copyright". In this era, he did not have such awareness. He's just a little bit more stressed now.

The so-called "self-war commentary" of professional chess players. When these contents were published in magazines, it was ultimately up to Go reporters to write them. It's like cooking a dish, and the "ingredients" are provided by Li Xiaoqiang. But what does the final dish taste like? It still depends on the level of Go reporters. The same game of chess, if you stand from a different perspective. You can write different articles.

Reporter Zhang Da now often boasts: he claims to be "the Go reporter who knows Li Xiaoqiang best". Suppose you report on a chess review of Li Xiaoqiang, and no other reporter has done well when it is written. We Zhang Da reporters can't afford to lose this person, can we?

Regarding the matter of "self-war commentary", Li Xiaoqiang did not pay too much attention to it. Since it's going to be 89 years soon. In Li Xiaoqiang's impression. Compared with his previous life, except for the Go world, the surrounding world has not changed much. For example, the current political atmosphere is basically the same as in the previous life. Li Xiaoqiang often jokingly thinks that his "butterfly wings" are absolutely unqualified. If this continues, it is estimated that the Soviet Union will still disintegrate, Iraq will still invade Kuwait, and naturally, the Gulf War, which will make the Americans lose the limelight, will still occur.

These real "big events" are powerless for Li Xiaoqiang. But in the small circle of Go, some changes are still very obvious. For example, a small competition in China that did not attract much attention aroused Li Xiaoqiang's interest.

During this time, the Shencheng Go world was very lively. Many domestic Go competitions have chosen to be held in Shencheng. Indeed, compared with the capital at this time, Shencheng seems to be more suitable for holding Go competitions. In addition to the just-concluded "Celebrity Battle", and the upcoming "Tianyuan Competition". There is also a final of the event, which will also be played in one or two days.

This competition is the "Youth Group National Go Individual Competition". Since Go is classified as a sport. Therefore, many traditional events in China have such characteristics. Obviously, this is a "limited" competition. Moreover, due to China's unique "national team system", good seedlings from various places are concentrated in all echelons of the national team...... Therefore, this competition can be regarded as providing opportunities for young chess players from various local teams to participate.

In normal history, this year's champion of this competition will be Yang Nihai 3rd dan. It was precisely because he won the championship of this competition that he had the opportunity to participate in the 5th China-Japan Go Tournament. Li Xiaoqiang deliberately paid attention to it and found that Yang Sanduan was the same as in his previous life, and he did enter the final of this competition.

However, Li Xiaoqiang can be sure that his opponent in the final will definitely be different from his previous life. Because his opponent this time is Chang Rensheng. According to normal history, Chang Rensheng is not eligible to participate in this competition. According to Chang Rensheng's age, he could only participate in the "Youth Group" competition, and he was not even qualified for the "Youth Group".

It is precisely because of the emergence of Li Xiaoqiang that this small change has been brought to the Go world. After the "special approval" of the management, the chess players of the national junior team participated in the youth group competition exceptionally. Chang Rensheng can be regarded as living up to expectations. He made it to the final of this competition. will compete with Yang Sandan for a ticket to the ring match.

Of course, if you win this competition, you will be selected for the lineup of the ring competition. Even those players who are participating in the competition still don't know what to do. The reason why Li Xiaoqiang knows the Tao is that it comes from information from his previous life. The second is the gossip from him. In this era, it is absolutely unthinkable for a Chinese chess player, especially a "local chess player", to be selected for the lineup of the ring competition.

Li Xiaoqiang certainly doesn't have this problem now. He had such a good record in the ring that there was no way the management could replace him. Assuming that Li Xiaoqiang is replaced now, it is estimated that the people of the whole country will not agree, which is really unthinkable.

And because of that. Once Li Xiaoqiang heard this "inside information" when he was listening to the chatter of the "Four Elders of Go". I had heard it and heard it, but for this reason, Coach Luo later specifically instructed Li Xiaoqiang: Don't tell Chang Rensheng and them the news. Coach Luo's reasoning is very strong and very reasonable: if you tell them that this competition is still a trial for the ring competition, I am afraid that they will be too stressed and will not be able to perform at their normal level in the competition.

Li Xiaoqiang thought about it too, so he didn't tell Chang Rensheng the news. It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiaoqiang became interested in this competition. He wanted to see if history would change. Let's see if Chang Rensheng has a chance to appear in the ring in advance.

Of course, in addition to this small change, there is another game in the Go world that Li Xiaoqiang thinks about a lot. That was the final of the first "Yingshi Cup". There is no doubt that such a competition is definitely the highlight of this year's world chess world. As long as you know a little bit about the history of Go, I don't need to say much about the importance of this game.

"What can I do for Nie Lao in this competition......

This is a question that Li Xiaoqiang is thinking about a lot at present.

Before the opening of the "Tianyuan Competition", Li Xiaoqiang had been staying in Shencheng. On this day, Li Xiaoqiang came to the editorial office of "Go" magazine. He has made appointments with reporters from three magazines, and today is the day he will do the "self-war commentary".

Li Xiaoqiang walked on the way to the editorial office. In his mind, he was still thinking about the question he had just asked. (To be continued......)
